Yeah she’s very good, I’m subscribed so I watch most of her videos, there’s some good samba style ones on there if you fancy a challenge, I’ve tried but they are a bit fast for me 😁

Nice Bassline on this Gladiators track, I might have to steal this one ☝️

Glen Browne breaks down a nice Bassline here, sounds good at 6.30

I just thought I’d start a general reggae thread where anything reggae or ska related can be  posted , like videos , events,  news , techniques, equipment,  anything your working on , or just about anything really 🙂

I started bass lessons when I was about 15 and was taught by a blues bassist , but I quickly found out that reggae was my passion, so I was playing blues and reggae, this was one of the first tunes I played ,

My latest video on how different techniques can help to compose authentic sounding Reggae bass lines might be of interest to some of the bassists on this thread.

I have put a couple of backing tracks at the end of the video to jam to.

I hope this help some beginner Reggae bass players.

Thanks myke, so I’m guessing ub40 ‘s version was a cover of Al greens original

I stumbled across Ann Marie a while back , I really like the sound of the sax, I think it goes well with this track, what you think 

 

[Reggaebass]

Sorting out some of older videos I found this great footage of third world from reggae on the river, check out the acoustic guitar at the beginning, so nice
