exelent as usual! missing your videos, big up
Nice one brother you teach and play the chuck so well! Defo think I will improve mine after watching this, also cool track colours! Blessed! ❤️☀️🌍
Thanks, great video 🙏🙏⭐⭐
Great great tutorial et channel man ! Very very cool and instructive
Love the tone
A Master piece, excelente video, thanks
Yeahhhhh bro !! Tutos again. !!! Nice !!!
🙏
Something I like doing, not even pressing the strings down at all but turning the wah pedal on to really cut through with the high gain of the wah pedal being on.
That really gets some nice sharp percussive sounds for me playing a strat
Two chops and i like it
most impressive DM...i just learnt a lot listening to you man...😀😇🤩
My skank has improved much after this vid. most others don't show the basics of the left hand "touch" and like the demonstration of incorporating ringing notes. By far the best skank tutorial so far.. now I'm on the quest for that old school "scratch" tone.....
DMK, once again THANK YOU for sharing this fabulous knowledge 🎧🙌🔥So helpful.
You’re so welcome man! Thank you for watching and supporting!
That would be awesome 👏
Thanks a lot for this video man! I'm a professional drummer and a reggae producer, and I've always trouble with skank guitars. Playing the cha-ka is my weaker spot, but if think I can fix with these tip!
Thank you
Top Sir.thanks a lot.
Nice. Easy to understand and good level of detail.
Thank you brother!! Much appreciated 🙌🙌
If only it was as easy as you make it all look. Been digging you videos lately! I am good with the guitar but trying to get the drums and keys is though!
Awesome work bro! Keep this up, really love how easy and relax you explain everything and all sounds are so authentic bro. Rspct :)
Thanks Bennie!! Long time fan of your work. Thank you for your contributions to the genre and community. I appreciate the kind feedback. Bless
@@DMKahn Wow man, really appreciate that bro. And thats a big compliment coming from you. We keep spreading that reggae vibe. And always learning. :-) Big up and blessing my brother. Bless
Great content !! well explained
🙏
Thank you for a very informative video.
I’ve learned a lot! Peace
Thanks for stopping by and please consider subscribing!
Hey Brotha! Thank you for the lesson!
🙏
Simply fantastic! Finally i've understood how to play rhythm guitar properly🙏 . Where can i find the fender edge tone in TH-U ? Can't find it in my TH-U. Thanks for sharing us the secrets of making authentic roots reggae. Peace
It’s an add on by Choptones, called Edge. I got it for $39 on sale. It’s not the be all end all, I just happen to like it because it reminds me of my Fender Deluxe clone. Thanks for the inspiration on this video bro, hope I covered mostly everything you wanted to see!!
A 60mm pick would be as thick as your wrist. You meant 0.6mm I think.
Nice to see another UA-cam video getting reggae rhythm right, most don't. 👍
Hahah I meant mils not mm. My bad! 😂
@@DMKahn same thing.its the 60 that was incorrect
I clearly have no idea about pick thicknesses, sorry haha
nice like always ! thx chris ! ++++
🙏
Tq bruhh
Nice skunkie.
You play very well.
When your álbum??
Excellent video, well explain. you should do another about the clavinet, best vst for clavinet, how to use it, settings etc
I’m not even sure which clav is the best! Any suggestions?
I heard Ticky Clav 2 by 2getheraudio is good and Free!!
Hi DM Kahn, I love this instrument - is it on the market?
great way of explaining. coming from a teacher.
Thank you Akos! Appreciate that a lot
I get smarter every time I watch one of your videos! I have a question: Do you have any suggestions/resources for playing reggae/ska rhythm guitar on an instrument with inverted strings? My bandmate plays left-handed but uses right-handed stringing. Thus a downstroke for him sounds like an upstroke. Should one just try to use the same techniques shown here? Or maybe there are alternate techniques for reverse stringing?
Also, I've noticed that my tenor ukulele -- which goes down to a G below middle C and has a pickup -- is great for recording skank parts. Especially with amp modeling and effects. It's small and light and fun to play and has a distinct sound. I'm thinking of adding it to my already way-too-unwieldy live setup!
Hey Azalea, thanks for the comment! I don’t have any resources about upside down chords, but I’m sure it can be figured out. First thing you have to do is learn the 3 notes in each chord and try to find patterns. It’s the same idea as regular guitar.. just need to spend time figuring out the notes and try to find hand techniques
Superb video. I tried to recreate your settings with the exactly same amp but it sounds distorted when i play with my Les Paul. Am i using the wrong guitar for that sound? by the way have you an idea how to create Aston Barrett's 70's bass sound ? Stay healthy.
Hey bro! A les Paul will have a more mid range and HOTTER sound (more output/volume). Try turning down the gain on the amp, or turning down the volume of the guitar. You might need less mids and more treble on the Les Paul too. Thanks for tuning in! For the Aston sound, id say some foam muting the strings a bit would be helpful, maybe flat wound strings. Scoop out some mids. Should get you in the ballpark anyways. Bless you brother stay safe as well
Hey Kahn. I play an american stratocaster and I always used the neck pickup. But the sound of your Tele in the middle position sounds awesome. What would you recommend for strat players? Gonna order some .60mm picks and play around with the presence on my amp which for no reason I always used to keep on 0. What exactly does that knob do anyways? Thanks for the knowledge!
On a strat I’d try the bridge pickup or the neck pickup. Definitely play with the amp settings. Just remember the strat has a little bit of a quacky tone. You kinda need to embrace it!! Or you could get a humbucker for the bridge pickup if you want a crunchier tone. The presence tone might be exactly what you’ve been missing, give it a shot. Before you spend any money, I’d definitely use what you have first. Cheers!
Hi Kahn, just a quick question, do you use any space echo in your mixes? Which VST can you recommend? Always nice to see new very interesting video's, thanks!
For those vibes I’ve been using Outer Space by Audio Thing. I did a demo on it, go watch the vid and let me know your thoughts!
I checked the vid. I came across this VST earlier and I do think it sounds great! I think it's well worth the money! Nice!
Get it on sale. There’s a few sales a year
Yet another great tutorial. Would it be possible for you to produce a 'sample pack' with the skanks in different keys, for non guitar players? Similar to your Reggae drum samples. Take care and STAY HEALTHY. Peace 🇯🇲✌️😎👍
I’ve been thinking of doing this for awhile!! Hopefully soon. Thanks Allen!
@@DMKahn When is the pack going to be available, really needing this. you seem better position to produce the best one.
Is there any kinda of bpm area for reggae, rocksteady, dancehall and ska? I'm creating songs but I'm strugglin finding their bpm, it feels like all of them end almost in the same bpm. If you could do a video on tips how to find a bpm for a song and what kinda of styles you can find in each bpm area! It would be awesome!
In my experience reggae is from 120-160bpm. Or 60-80 (halved). Rock steady is about the same, ska is generally faster. 135bpm is my favorite for rubadub. Hope that helps.
Would be nice if you could make a video on pluck guitar
What specifically are you looking to learn about the pluck guitar? I thought I touched on the important parts
What are the things you have on those low strings to stop them from playing
Ear plugs
what the heck is with the magical floating guitars?!
Lol they’re attached to the wall
If I only have pre sets on logic, what amp preset should I use for this sound?
I’d look for one that says “crunch” and tweak from there. You want only a pinch of distortion in the upper frequencies to help it “cut” through the mix. Best of luck!!
What string guages are u using?
Typically use 10s. Easier to play
So when you say 60mm do you mean .6mm thick pick? I use a 1mm pick, it works for me.
Yeah lol
@@DMKahn not 6.0 mm?
Lol
Does anyone know How to use THU with ableton live?
Sorry man I don’t use ableton ! Hopefully someone else will comment
DM Kahn thank you for your classes. I just did not see where the Vst were saved. Thanks again!
Glad you got it sorted out!! Bless
En español please
f*ck*ng pro-bro!
Thanks man !
CAN I USE A GUITAR WHIT ONLY 3 BOTTOM STINGS?? i hawe a guitar whit only 3 strings. can i just use 3 strings for simple cord and chicka
Sure, it’s how I used to do it. Just make sure you have the triad covered and it’ll work. I’ll say 4 is better because you get the lower root as well but it’ll work in a pinch. Honestly I should just learn how to use all 6 lol
It really depends which chord you are playing, there is no rule but with 5 strings it kinda sounds more percussive in the mix than with only 3 strings. I try to avoid to play 6th string because it sometimes sounds too low but once again it really depends which type of skank you want ! Blessed love
Hi. Im vonflikk, another profile.. i got this dude on fiver, i pay like 8 bucks, (dollar) to make gitar skank for me..lol.. i just suck playing the guiter, but i want to learn to play bass, bass is abolutly best analog in reggae..lol
Hey Kahn, is this amp into the Rock pack of THU? I can’t afford the full pack...
I have the TH-U Slate version which comes with my subscription of his plugin pack. This particular add on it from Choptones. I think I got it for an additional $39 on sale. But there’s plenty of good amps that come with the regular TH-U Slate. If you have the Rock pack, I’m pretty sure you can still purchase rig expansions like the one I used in this video. Cheers D👑K
DM Kahn I don’t have the rock pack, but i am looking forward to buy one of them, because I’ve seen you use these amps also for the bass. From you got the slate version with the monthly subscription, which pack of TH-U do you advice?
So I just looked into the different versions. For how I play, funk/RNB would probably be better because I don’t like high gain stuff to much, but it’s up to you. Both the Rock and Funk/RNB versions allow rig extensions, which is where it’s at! The full version isn’t worth it in my opinion, unless guitar is like your main thing
DM Kahn Always precious, Dubmaster. Blessings from Italy🎊
@@DMKahn which Choptones addition is it?
you always say,little rythm....and they are always hits
Thanks bro, super kind of you to say. I try to make the riddims in the tutorials good so people get inspired!!
Great Video - Hey DM check your email, I sent you a mail re some paid production work
Hey brother I didn’t see the email. Did you spell Kahn correctly? Thekahn@gmail.com cheers
@@DMKahn very strange I think I got the email address correct. If you send me a mail to mark.cunnington@gmail.com we can discuss - Thanks for your response
