Hes definitely playing what the two hands of the organ bubble would do, just with a guitar. Much like the guitar took over the horns of the big band music and made rock! Well done!

@TxTFamGuy1 Not a problem my friend, reading back I kinda sound condescending and I totally didn't imply that at all, was nice to hear from you and, as I was saying on another video of mine, it is totally refreshing to talk with someone who is polite and articulate on here.

I'll add you as a friend so you get automatic comment approval (I am a strictly roots'n'culture guy, all power to pop reggae but it's not for me...I mean, not for I ;)

@scaasi I was confused by word "keyboardist" sorry, it sounds cool though. I've herd some bands do it with 2 guitars were one plays the downbeat and the other does stabs on alternate counts like 2 and 4. In most Reggae groups (esp Roots Reggae) there will be 2 keyboardist, one playing rhythm (organ, piano and clavi) and one playing melody (synth/horns). Waiting In Vain had 5 keyboard parts going at the same time. I play Early Reggae and I'm always trying to learn new tricks thanks 4 the vid man!

@TxTFamGuy1 The title is tongue in cheek and is kinda described in the opening credits, what I am DOING here is the organ bubble ON guitar, just done to see if I could do it and found I could, not utterly convincingly but close enough, with a uni or rotovibe effect on it gets pretty damn close, when I'm in a band scenario I play the straight sharp downstrokes as my part in roots reggae is to keep it simple.

I thought that the "bubble" was only on an organ, on guitar it's called "skank and deapick" and on piano it's a shuffle. That's what I've herd from Jamaican musicians anyway. I'm an organist and a bassist myself.
