Sweet Child Of Mine (Reggae Cover)

Another part of my music technology AS level coursework. The task was to sequence the song 'Sweet child of mine' into the genre of reggae. I took most inspiration from Bob Marley and his music. Feel free to comment and share it, and it would be great if you liked and subscribed!

@r0berito I used a beat my drum teacher and I went through while covering reggae which is a type of one drop that concentrates everything on the 3rd beat of every bar. I didn't want any link to 'rock' genre in the song so thought i would really change the traditional drums.

But thanks for the feedback, really appreciated it, hope you enjoyed it :)

It's cool that you're a drummer, and it's more cool that you obviously have heard reggae. The one thing that irks me is the drumbeat. Now your organ chops are on the "&" of every beat. (1 & 2 & ...) That would traditionally put the snare on the "2" and "4" - or you could just say the drums play in half-time (so the chops fall on "2" and "4") with snare on the "3rd" beat.

The "one drop" rhythm is essentially like this: "R X X X R X X X" (rest, git chop, snare hit, git chop).

@rutgervuister Thanks a lot for the feedback, really appreciate it. As I'm a drummer I struggle to come up with parts like bass/guitar as I don't know my advanced chord theory too well. I can get by, but it's defiantly something I'm working to improve, but I defiantly know what you mean. Thanks again.

Nice work man, sounds like some nice reggae, the only hing i would change is the bassline, witch is very big in reggae and you have a nice bassline but it sometimes misses the walking bass parts and some of the rhythmic verity that is defiant in reggae, plays some notes around the ground note of your chord that'l spice up your reggae a little

Peace!
