I waited 27 years for somebody to explain that in a way I understand.. Thx =)
Congratulations. You are the first non-caribbean I've seen on UA-cam who can actually play reggae properly. The other guys have no idea, and I'm disappointed that they are getting so many hits. From now on when I'm criticising the fraudsters, I shall recommend their followers to any of the Dreads such as Tuff Lion, or you. Keep spreading the word!!
Thanks Ram, I really appreciate your comment!
Tuff Lion is great. Also check Steve Golding's videos on rhythm guitar, he's played with Tosh, Rita Marley, Israel Vibration etc.
Ram Goatliver check out my tutorials. Might think there's another out there who knows what he's talking about! Lol
J Jesus My pleasure.
bassiehd Yes I agree. Steve Golding is very good too. Together we can help rid the world of fake reggae!
When I first moved to Hawaii my friend taught me to skank. He explained it to me in a technical fashion and it all totally made sense. (Especially since I've always loved reggae music)
I had the swing down no problem. My right hand was perfect. ..but I still didn't have the feel in my left hand down.
He said "Just pretend you're REALLY high and you're too lazy to even push down the strings and fret the chord." After he said that, it totally clicked and I had it down. Lol
Looking back, it's probably because I already play very lightly - so I'm used to doing the opposite (increasing pressure on my left hand, not decreasing it)
But I also think that my natural inclination to play lightly is why reggae clicked so fast for me. It feels very, very natural for me. ..and because I grew up around blues music in Memphis, the whole concept of "swinging" and playing with timing was also very second nature.
I didn't know I was looking for rhythm reggae guitar lessons until I saw your video. I've watched a few today and yours is the best. Very clear explanaition of techniquee and shows the versatility. I rate yours up with Tuff Lion. Maybe better. Nice work.
Awesome, thank you so much for actually explaining how to do it!!
First time I can play reggae properly! Thanks man! Thanks!
I have watched quite a few videos on reggea guitar and making some progress, but after watching this video I had a BREAKTHROUGH! Thanks you!
amazing lesson....love this...thankyou J Jesus.
This helped me immensely. Much appreciated, thank you.
Great to share this knowledge man, Jah bless! i used to see some guys really with a good tecnique on guitar but they didn't have that skanking tecnique
I like yours the most..i love the reggae swing ..very good well done..this will help me a lot.
Very very authentic sound! Very helpful, thanks!
Fantastic. Actually understand the process now!! Thank you.
Them little bits make up all the difference nice one dude helped me out alot
To Jesus: This is a good video: I appreciate the technical aspect regarding the strings utilized and the pressure and release points, where, ironically, the rhythm comes from the fretting hand, not totally from the right. Excellent.
Wow, been playing guitar for years...can play a little bit of most stuff, but hey Reggae rhythm guitar is so hard to grasp. Gotta try not to give up, cos it sounds so good if you can do it. Great video thanks for the lesson.
The length of time you press/“sustain” the note is determined by the same length/“sustain” as the snare
Thanks for the technique and the chord progression!
Very nice and useful course. Thank. You so much. For sharing
Excellent lesson! Thank you very much!
Finally I understand! Great explanation! Thank you very much!!!!
Thank you so much for explaining this!

Pequenos pormenores que fazem a diferença. :)
Great lesson!
Very nice!! Thank you!
Thanks man, Yess, I got it finally :D
I really loved the vid and how you explained it all thanks a lot !!
Glad I can help!
Since you can play bass and guitar, could you do a video playing the lead guitar of bob songs like Back out, Do it twice, etc . in that songs the guitar sounds like the bass
Love this video
Finally!! Properly!!!!
Squeeze squeeze! 🤪 Very helpful video king 👑
hey thanks.
i hope this will help
Love your videos. Can you do one on lead reggae guitar? riffs, fills, etc.
Thanks Sir.now I got it with your explanations.but I had to watch the video several times.thanks a lot .Good teacher. SIR.videos of others were not that helpful.
Great Tone Man
Thanks J.
You are a gifted teacher!! Very rare to find.
Thanks Matthew!
Very nice!!!
as non-guitar musician, this is so good to know!
Nice lesson.
Very very nice!!!!!
grande grazie!
Nice lesson
very good!!!
Really the best video i've ever seen! Your sound is beatiful! What amp do you have?
Very well explained Sir.you are a good teacher.thanks a lot. The most important lesson is at 3 min 33 of this video.
good teaching bro
kool playing
you are good man.
Nice!
Nice ,real nice intro.
Sounds easy and simple. But takes a lot of practice. :)
thanks man... i was trying to figure out my self how they do this chop... i play guitar since i was a little kid and i though it was easy... but when i tried to play it on the electric it wasn't sound ok...
Cool!
Hi man ! Thanks very much for your videos. I agree with Ram, there's so many bad videos about reggae and yours are very good. I just would like to know if your amplifier is a fender twin reverb 65 ? Thanks very much.
Muito bom
Thanks, one of the better videos explaining with more detail the left hand movement. One question I have not being able to answer on all reggae guitar videos. Does the down strum occur on the down beats (1,2,3,4) or on the off beats (ands). Thanks!
I like your teaching, let me go home and try to strum and see if I can produce a reggae sound
Genial!
Great video
Quais efeitos usados? wah,phraser,od?
The Les Paul with p90s sounds really cool!
Nice...you also gotta smoke a lot of the kind and praise Jah to feel the chank..BLESS
You killed it at the beginning
Thanks man!
Thank you bro!!!suscribe!
hola, ¿como hago lo mismo pero loopeando con un bajo?
Hey JJesus......any chance you can teach the song 'natural mystic' by Bob Marley?.....awesome song and I would really appreciate some guidance on the bassline and rhythm?
Cool 😍😎
Squeeze, strum, release! Squeeze, strum, release! Practice, practice.practice. Thank you sir.
I thought the technique was palm muting, thanks for explaining! Great lesson!
You could palm mute if you want to use open chords, but this way is much easier (in my opinion)
excellent, no better than that
Great vids and music bro! Do you have a vid on effects and amp setup for reggae??
Hey Vegan Sauce! No I don't... but I will do a video about it soon! It is on my to do list now! Thanks for the suggestion!
How are your amp settings? Thanks in advance
Man ! Aylabyotoo!!!
Graazie
Thank you Jesus
Good
reggae..see no woman no just a cold Albert Croak on youtube .great playing and lesson
