1969, 1970 reggae riddims (Long Shot, Double Barrel)

Picking our way through some riddims:

1969, rocking "skinhead reggae" style: "Long Shot Kick de Bucket"

1970, downbeat driven, karate chops: "Double Barrel"

If you're going to do Longshot without the KB part, the guitar player has to use the 3-stroke ja-Wit-nit skank, otherwise it turns around like Roxanne. 2x Barrel = WIN. Nice job

@mthai66 True, but we were not trying to cover all the parts of the groove with few instruments (since this isn't for performance/entertainment really). We were each "assigned" actual parts, and that simple guitar is one of them...it's just that some instruments are missing! :) Thanks!!

great job guys!!

I've been wanting to lean the bass line for double barrel.

Maybe you can ask your bassist to post it:-)

guys, this is very good, lovely sax.

they are my fav tunes, you've done a very good job

[hultonclint]

thank you very much! this was only our first time playing this, so it is rough, but the musicians are excellent. Unfortunately, we were unable to continue practicing because we moved away to different areas :(

@hultonclint I hear ya... maybe it's just me but I feel like people have to be trained to chip in whatever is required to create the compound riddim you're shooting for; if someone drops out or isn't present, everyone else has to change what they're doing to make up for what was lost.
