Daaaveman. Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 Hi all - wondering if you guys could help me with some basic stuff. I'm typically into my soul/funk style bass playing, and feel comfortable doing grooves in many tempos with passing notes and fills and the like. Thing is, my current band have decided to do a reprise of a chorus in a reggae style; at which point I realised I have NO experience of playing/listening to reggae at all! If anyone could show me any good tracks for bass in reggae music, or tell me the typical DO's/DON'Ts in that style of bass playing, or even direct me to some videos of typical grooves/patterns, that'd be awesome! Cheers! Daaave. Quote

Daaaveman. Posted October 28, 2011 Author Posted October 28, 2011 Awesome, that's great man. So arpeggiated chords with some notes of the scale thrown in stepwise are ok? Quote
razze06 Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 That is something that could work, yes. The notes you don't play are more important than those you do! Quote
