    Those saying it needs to be louder are missing the point. The traditional Reggae bass tone has always been about that super round, warm sound. All of the string and scrape sound is typically rolled off to support that soft, “behind the beat” feel of the playing.
    If you’re not listening on good speakers or headphones, you’re missing all of that low end and expecting to hear that high frequency stuff to tell you what the notes are. They’d be doing the style of playing a disservice to have a sharper tone, so please plug in some good headphones and try again.
    Great video, really!

    If you want to learn reggae bass I recomend Don Chandler's channel, Reggae bass hub.
    Reggae is a difficult genre for Berklee professors because they tend to add too many fills and overplay, as it happens towards the end of this video.
    There are also two videos on youtube by Devon Bradshaw explaining reggae bass ideas.
    Many educated musicians understimate reggae and cant play it right, because it is simple armonically and repetitive.
    But in being able to play simple and repetitive, serving the song, not overplaying and having the right rhythm and groove lies the key to good reggae bass.
    Flabba holt (who is not mentioned in this video) from the roots radics band plays minimalistic bass lines with a lot of space, he is one of my favourite players.
    The barret brothers are amazing too and Bob Marley is one of the best, but there is much to learn about the reggae genre beyond what is most popular.

    One drop is derived from the drums playing on beats 2 & 4 of the bar, it has absolutely nothing to do with the bass guitar.

  • @Rootzilla
    @Rootzilla 3 місяці тому +12

    The meaning of "leaving the one out" for "one drop" seems to be really entrenched, even though it seems that Jamaicans usually use "one drop" to mean that the drums play one "drop" (kick drum + cross-stick) on beat three, whereas "two drop" refers to a beat where kick drum hits on one and snare (often a regular hit istead of cross-stick) hits on three. (I'm referring to the double-time count here, where the guitar/keys skank is on 2 & 4, as this is the way of counting where the "Jamaican" definition of "one drop" makes sense. This seems to be the way most old skoo JA musicians would count the time.)

    • @jeroencornelisse
      @jeroencornelisse 3 місяці тому

      A One Drop has nothing to do with dropping the One and has nothing to do with bass. A One Drop is a drum pattern created in the mid 60's well before Carlton Barrett played it. The song One Drop by Bob Marley has never been viewed by reggae musicians as the song that represents the One Drop style. There are thousands of One Drop style songs where the bass doesn't drop the One.

    And forget the rigid rules of theory because that F is an F# what I like to internalize is counting to 6 in 4/4 it's gonna give you an entirely different feel of how to apply placement.
    Plus contrast is key most of the time when the Drummer grooves or shuffles the bass player follows and that is seldom the case with Carlton and Family man if you listen closely.
    When one shuffles the other one straightens out and they exchange pockets and fills almost oscillating.
    It's exactly that contrast or musical autonomy of legitimizing your own path while playing together that authenticates the feel of Playing On time In Time or just With Time.

    I used to hate Reggae, until I did a Reggae gig. They didn't send me a setlist the first day, despite me asking them a billion times, and I thought I did fine, but given the songs were super popular, I kinda bombed 😅 I played at a gospel church for a few years, prior to that gig though, so I was used to hearing the chords and figuring out what number they were and making a bassline, but it DID NOT sound like Reggae 😂
    After that day, I INSISTED that they send me the setlist, and only then, did I realize how WRONG everything that I was playing was! Their basslines (and everything else for that matter) are very deliberate and different from what I'm used to. Stir It Up, for example, is a SUPER easy bassline to play, and by itself, sounds kinda boring imo 😅 but with the context of the guitar, and drums, the vocals, etc, all of it together makes this grooooovy song, that I never would've been able to appreciate, prior to being a musician.

      @@MrChangeTout I get that. Maybe it was just a really unfortunate thing for the SBL guys to choose as an excerpt for this video. Parrticularly since
      a) In the beginning, they are using a backing track that has the actual chords to demonstrate the harmony, so why do the same with a very dark bass tone that is not wery well suited for playing chords anyway?
      and
      b) The bass line to "One Drop" is almost entirely constructed of those same chord triads so he could have used it to demonstrate how Aston Barret outlined that same harmony in his actual bass line.
      The purpose of that double stop noodlery is really questionable in this context. Granted, it may make sense in the context of the complete lesson, but as is, this video does not strike me as something that demonstrates real understanding and love of the aesthetic of reggae bass playing. They should have enlisted Donstrumental instead :D
      Edit to add: If he'd just done it once, I probably would have let it pass. But doing it in more than one position and throwing those double-stop slides in made it look more like he was not happy to just dig into the groove somehow but wanted to do some kind of odd flex there. I don't know. Suffice to say he missed the mark for me.

    “There’s almost some swing there, like your playing a count bassie tune” OH god. Can we please get some Jamaicans to teach us how to play Jamaican music. Tony Chin, Fully Fullwood, Santa Davis, you guys could find someone. This content is not educational.
