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.
loved how you got right into the material and that you and some comments mentioned variants - way toooo often this bubble is taught as if its mindlessly repetitious when actually, syncopated variants are common on real records….
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.
God...i fkn love this guy! when you started singing bout "this song is protected by copywrite, & i dont really wanta get sued tonite" sh* t you had me laughing my ass off. 😂 i said for real? Did this dude really just lay down this smooth ass regge jam on me like imma piece of fkn toast and then bust out with hilarious ass lyrics too? Did it all casually n shit just like it was nothing....lol. F***ck man... youre talented. 👌😂😂😂🍻🍺🍻🍸🍹🍷
@@TheWizOfKeyz haha no it was not my intention to be taken seriously, I just thought it to be an absurdly fun thing to say. I really don't fucking care how you express yourself. all freedom to you :)
@@chrismai1889 hahahaa. Ahh... i see. 😁 well, shit... In that case then, ya totally fkn got me! Lmfao. good shit. Lol. I happen to be a huge fan of most things commonly referred to as "screwball," "ridiculous," "uncalled for," or "off the wall," etc...myself. Basically anything known to trigger an eye roll response in the boring ass basic anti-fun loving mfkers out there takin life (& themselves) wayy too fkn seriously... (aka the majority of the population.) Lol) A decent sense of humor seems to be pretty hard to come by these days. Unfortunately...anyways thats more than enough rambling from me i think. Take it easy bro! Cheers to you & anybody else out here who still appreciates good comedy. ✌😎
I love the organ sound on The Upsetters' 'Return of Django', particularly in the track 'Live Injection'; any idea what amazing machine is responsible for that lovely tone?
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.
@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.
Hey man I'm pretty certain that i have the same exact keyboard. What are the names of the exact patches that you think are suitable for raggae on this keyboard.
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!
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...

that 'first and last drawbar' tip was golden! (for a real hammond)
Love your humour and editing man! xD
Thanks man! This is so clear , funny and well done!

great video, right on
I love the organ sound on The Upsetters' 'Return of Django', particularly in the track 'Live Injection'; any idea what amazing machine is responsible for that lovely tone?
your hair rocks!bless.
Nice, one thing I add is a double on the chord for both hands, 16th notes- left hand and right alternating beats both playing the triad.
You really explain things so simple... VERY GOOD CONTENT! Thanks.
Great video man
I subscribed for the copyright part. Hats off you wonderful madlad

very cool!!!
great video very helpful thanks man.

useful thanks
Is it beneficial for reggae organs with rotary on?
Subscribed just for the copyright harmony
Just found your channel. If you haven't could you do a traditional ska tutorial?
My opinion is that organ is the best background instrument
That one key sticking out is triggering my OCD 🤣...but thanks for that dude...helped me out alot
"and I don't wanna get sued tonight..."😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for the lesson.
Great!
thanks...you JAH man...!!
J'adore.
Big hands or tiny keyboard?
What the tune
Hey man I'm pretty certain that i have the same exact keyboard. What are the names of the exact patches that you think are suitable for raggae on this keyboard.
Bless you!!!
🔥🔥🔥
love your vids dude!
Thank you, sir!
Nice
ahahaha this is such a good video
can you do ub40 impossible love
good
What are playing left is hand, it seems different from chord chart. You are playing 1 n 2 n 3 n 4 n but the chart is you play only ands
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!
NICE BROTHER
❗❗❗❗❗❗❗❗❗❗❗
Can you use Rock Organ on Keyboard as Reggae Bubble?
What are other Keyboard styles that can be used as Reggae Bubble?
0:00- 0:54- 1:12- 1:26- 1:45- 1:55-
HAHAHAHA loved the coryright part°
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...
Good Work my Brother man
