[TheCarter0123]

[neto920]

[dealdesign0001]

[yankeenick]

[pvicenteclandestino]

Amazing!

Practical and gets you started!

[patrick34page]

reggae is pretty much only using reverb effect right?

[hesteaeble]

@patrick34page Chorus and delay are used often too.

[yankeenick]

@hesteaeble wah is the most common with a lot of reverb

[Chromatype]

Very good analysis. I have played enough reggae to agree with the topics discussed. I tend to play the scratchy rhythm a bit different, by rapidly releasing left hand pressure to mute the sustain and get the same effect.

[MadeoOnTheRadeo]

dude what song is that you play in the beginning?!

[COOLBIAN57]

@MadeoOnTheRadeo It's probably just Andrew jamming.

[carthagepropaganda]

He forgot a name: Lynn Taitt is _the_ reggae/ska/rocksteady guitarist. everyone learning the style should check him out

[ThegodisAbraxas]

canadians ftw. and im american

[239riders]

i can tell he is Canadian but i love him for it.

[cjkeegan100]

hi there :) i started playing guitar a year and a half ago, at first i liked to play other peoples songs and still do to a degree. i very quickly become curious with how these people created songs, after a lot of internet searching and a couple hundred lessons :) i came to understand major keys and relative minor, and the basic minor/ major pentatonic. which as you know can produce some simple but effective songs. but its not enough for me so thanks for the advanced lessons. i really appriciate

[mixedbreedvibes]

Well done Sir you are very informative....quick question...what four chords are you playing (the four string chords) at 7:32 ?

[ThegodisAbraxas]

@mixedbreedvibes it's the progression from stir it up by bob =)

[rhoniimeade]

Hey; 53 yrs. still learning from the best! still learning after all these years! Thank you so much for your teaching.

[hell4850]

[skeeptar]

[liamzuid]

@skeeptar That is a Roland element.

It's used with a roland product called gr 20.

[MikeMiguel777]

[aGraphicWay]

i think you should take a listen to Charlie Chaplin - Dont leave your baby mother .. my favourite reggae singer..

[yourmanwatson]

Nice :) Good lesson. Played with Jamaican artists for years, you know your stuff for sure.

[3301pepe]

[EmteC2000]

LTD Viper on the left.... this is one awesome guitar, well maybe not for reggae ;)

[Laimonel]

Is it a problem if im a white guy and want to learn reggae? : S

[christuspilatus]

@Laimonel no. there is never a problem with reggae. its for everyone.

[yourmanwatson]

@Laimonel I'm white - I just backed Peter Tosh's son last weekend.. Made a few bucks doing it too :)

[Maxdamagnificent]

[mikecoppolag]

[bigdawgandrewm]

[EdgeWizz7]

[Cog110]

[youknowoz]

really really good informative video. 10000% better than those clowns over there at "expertvillage". kudos.

[classicrocker1970]

Listen to Rebelution.. now these foos are sick.. wit it

[johnwashere22]

terrible

[thanley33]

theyre sick.

[morrison1234]

i didnt really expect this guy to a name as roots as peter tosh or dennis brown..if u guys really want to get an idea of those scratches u should listen to artists like the Abyssinians

[Deadsurfr]

I agree. Very pleasant to listen to and watch. Very informative. Great teacher

[greedlz]

very good question and an amazing teacher

[SuperGkhan]

that was excellent:-D

[shua559]

nice i ben playn gutiar fore 11years mostly classical music and flamenco guitar...wat chords should i use fore this style to start off:)?

[cobracarg]

major and minor traids or major and minor barre chords

[nicoheckens1]

I would say reggae is kinda like Jazz. Your going to want to accent on the "ands" and play against the beat. Thats what is cool about jazz and reggae its more free in my opinion than classical. Start off with a minor

[Areen1]

gave me some greate ideas. thanks

[davidholmes282]

good song at the end. thanks man

[RockNRollerGR]

Thanks that helped my a lot man...i am 15 years old and i am just creating my own band i have started writing a reggae song but i was stuck at the solo thanks a lot for the scales:D you own man....wating for more videos:P

[raggajones12]

Nice. I've been playing in reggae bands for years(mostly vocals)  but one thing i do know is it is ALWAYS downstrokes.

[Draugoth]

Rasta Andrew!

[almudjk]

he forgot to mention delay/reverb

[kylecasillas]

and phaser too

[fatthach5]

that was so informative and the song at the end was great

[jubz777]

this guy fucking rules.

[HugoDesMusic]

Amazing Vid !!!!!! ( As always)

[sangolt88]

The Police has a lot of Reggae style too.

[IpkisStanley]

watered down reggae. I want MY FUNK UNCUT!

[Langoliers1995]

Yup =)

[BassDude50000]

whats that black thing at the bottom of the guitar?

[bigdawgandrewm]

iots a special midi sound processor that uses the vibrations as opposed to his playing style to make special sounds.

[Zwikster]

Ive been loving reggae and dub more and more over the past few years and have been trying to play along while listening. Some really good internet stations - skyfm - "Roots Reggae"

Love the tune at the beginning...especially the hammer-on and slide!

[Tomurow]

Wow! You covered soooo much there! Brilliant Andrew! Keep on teachin'!

[Tomurow]

And what about adding The Police to that list of artists - for reggae in a rock context!

[ivo1212]

good lesson - thanks
