    I got some additional tips, as I am a reggae keyboard player myself. For the offbeat in the right hand, people often use a piano or rhodes sound, which sounds better to my ears. If you only have an organ, that's okay as well. Right hand is more likely to be played staccato, so more like an eighth or sixteenth note. For Bubble variations you can play to two eigh notes on the offbeat instead of 16th notes before and after the offbeat or add some syncopes and hold the next note a bit longer. Nice Video mate, appreciate it.

    Really the 'bubble' is actually just the left hand doing all the off beat semiquavers trying to sound like a conga or percussion instrument that gets your head bobbing, the right hand should play staccato chords up high in unison with the rhythm guitar 'skank' on the two and four with a different sound like piano for that classic roots reggae...

    @1:39 The sheet music you are showing, when input into my DAW, does not have the same rhythm as what you are playing. If I play it in manually with my midi keyboard, and get very close to the sound your producing, the timing shown in the DAW (space between notes) is not what seen on your video (sheet music you have on top of the video). What am I missing? Thanks.

    Thats different. Growing up in the islands and every music i heard or played was reggae. Always drum and bass first in that order. All the other melodies came after drum and bass foundation or root of the reggae beat. Its what we call the heart beat which is also from the nayahbingi drum. He did it differently but it turned out great.

    • @JeffLearman
      @JeffLearman 4 роки тому

      I think you're counting it wrong. His right hand is playing on 2 and 4, just as written in the staff notation. Left hand is playing every upbeat (every other 8th note, all syncopated.) The bass is the only instrument playing on 1. In Reggae, the bass owns 1, everyone else keep out!

    keep it up with these funkier genres man. You did get with your Montundo Salsa, keep exploring. You said it yourself, there are miles of material to cover with these. Reggae off-beat is so weird to settle into but once you do it just keeps up like riding a bike.
    Anyone else feel the kinda phantom limb syndrome when you start since the fingering is so staccato? Like playing a baby drum.
