  • The one and only Robert "Robbie" Shakespeare.

    A legend on the music scen.

    Search "Sly & Robbie" on youtube for more

  • Well executed..I will watch this countless times until I master it.

  • you sound great man this is sweet

  • I'm positive tkrytpton meant reggae is 75% feel. Not 3/4 time signature. I happen to like this guy's playing. Sounds nice.

  • can you send me the tabs.?

  • third finger as in 'middle finger'

  • Doesnt robbie use his thumb like 90% of the time? I play the bass and play with just two fingers. No need to bring a third one into the mix if you can play well with two. I have no problems keeping up with the two.

  • \ok, to answer out of step, and wglenn, and I was (and still am) trying to be constructively critical here - The 'D' note is coming in ever so slightly early in the Intro / verse, and at 0:39 seconds in this short piece, the rhythm is lost . Listen carefully to it again, and then go an watch a live performance by Roots Radics or Sly& Robbie and 'turn on' to the exquisite attention they pay to the kick drum and one drop. They never veer, and dey use their ear.
