      Yea - I'll go with that, Lance..... I was the lead guitarist for Inner Circle back in the late 70s with Jacob Miller. This guy obviously has a passion for the groove ;)

    Hi all!! I greet you with the most inviting and sincere hello to each one of you. What can I say but WOW thank you so much for the constructive comments and feedback. I am just amazed. I haven't been active on this channel since 2015 and I haven't taken the time to answer all of you- (no good excuse there on my part but time and partial laziness to finding the password to the channel -.- ) and now I am tempted to make another tutorial for you to benefit from my passion of roots reggae music. Now, I know this one is quick, simple and to some, non-informative/shallow. I would like your suggestions for a next longer video in which I would like to dive deeper into the details of how to get THAT reggae sound, with more concrete examples, a final upload and a complete mixed recording as reference. I would try to make it maybe 8-12 minutes long and explain the philosophie behind choices of common instrumentation, mixing (eq, compression, effects etc.) and the discipline of simplicity behind every good reggae tracks. I believe that it would greatly beneficial for you passionate people to learn and see how I get a fat stompy reggae sound, eand not cheap midi looped patterns (which this videos kinda was) with a simple home setup. What do you think? Overall, I would make it sound better and would take the form of a lesson. Give me your feedback :) Good vibes to all around the globe!

    And this is why the authenticity of reggae can’t be copied all the musicians that come together have their own feel and that’s why each time a group of members come together the fine details makes the difference they never keep the ongoing 4 Barr’s there are intriguing lil patterns of and riffs that they feel to get that movement to sound different with the patterns so this just sound like another visiting music you hear.
