Great! Love the script too.

Brilliant to hear these stories Don.. history for real.. big respect

Thank you for the history lesson on the cuss cuss riddim. That last baseline was wicked!

Big ups for this video! I think I will use As ton Bar rett as my device for this groove

All hail the Flabba Holt Groove Move! Thanks for this video

Howdy, I just downloaded your files; please securitize your Google Drive so just the public files are accessible. ASAP. 👍 I'm a systems and applications engineer.

Sir, you have changed my life with this.

anybody who plays any musical instruments should now what is 'konnakol ' regardless of their music style . learn it . Thanx me later

What’s 18?

Playing Reggae bass is quite a challenge 😮

Love your content! Haven’t played my bass in 20 years which is sad. Life moves so fast. You inspired me to pick it back up and have fun again. I hope you understand how much it means to me. God bless.

I have a customer who is reggae bass player. I asked him about that unique groove and he says..I don’t play on the one……but this video is amazing very good.. finding this video is like finding a gem in the your garden

This has got to the single best music tutorial on KZbin.

Wow, what I really like is the written lines because we African we like to listen than reading music. i play saxophone and I learnt by reading music. As a music teacher I like my students to read music as well as listening. Voila!!! Well done!!!

Check out the bass on 'False Prophets' by Marcus Gad and Tribe. Really excellent roots reggea band.

The, "what the hell just happened section". Haha👍

I only realized that the bass is swung because the notation shows it (nice !). And in the comments, Richielion2 points out that the bass is swung, but the hi-hat is straight ! Can you make a video about swung vs straight 16ths ? Your videos are so good !

thanks for this tool GOd bless you more prof

Sweet syncopation…

Or the genre a dialect ?

very nice video! How do you get this bass tone?

Too complicated for me . Not disregarding the tutorial I guess every body learns differently . What I got from the tutorial was basically where you place the notes and spacing is important and gives a different feel .

Wow! Don so glad i came across your tutorial absolutely brilliant i love Reggae being Bob Marley my favourite, i will be focusing on your video from now on and subscribed.

A favourite of mine: Crab race by the Morwells - and the dub version - (first track) from Sly and the Revolutionaries - ‘Hard Core Dub’ album..

thanks

I dreamed of being a reggae bassist. This channel is so much fun for me. It is DEEP. I just love the reggae bass. When I first tried to play along with reggae, I realized how the simple sounding things are not simple they are just fitting in the right space and time. Your analysis is fantastic. Much praise to you.I especially appreciate the respect that you have for all those that came before you.

Brother Don thank you so much for your info, free PDF's, everyone has to right to add comments, but we all know some people typ without thinking and we are all diferent in receiving/emotionally etc. I have picked up so much detailed info from your KZbins, so maximum respect! Is there a way I can buy a t-shirt without paying extra custom costs for Belguim since the brexit it is ridiculous we need to pay 15 euro just for opening the package plus a tax on the estuimated valua... One Love What a journey, very impressive how you managed to study and learn those sets just overnight or in the back of the tourbus.

Absolutely grooving riddims. Thank you

What's happenin Don? Have you ever played a Hofner 500/1? Obviously made famous by McCartney but I've seen few photos of Robbie jamming with one. I've never tried one myself but I hear the low end is tuff.

Thanks for talking about family man, my favorite bassist ever. ✊🏾

New sub. Looking forward to get stuck in with your videos. Thanks for posting these m8

I also get serious Sly & Robbie feels. Great lesson thanks!

It's amazing how incredible it can sound, yet be so simple once a good teacher knows how to explain it. I just ran through this on my own, and was actually able to sound pretty decent! I'm inspired to find a few more chord progressions and just jam along. So much more fun to make music instead of memorizing modes and the fretboard all the time.

Thank you for such a clear and well thought out explanation. Watching that was a real 'light bulb' moment for me 🙂

Muchas gracias por la información. Estoy haciendo un trabajo de investigación sobre el bajo en el reggae y tu video me ha servido mucho. También he observado que el tema Protection de Protoje utiliza la misma lógica. Saludos desde Argentina!

Loving it… and nice bass!

Hey sir, do you use flat wound strings? I love how thick and full your bass sounds.

Them to bros will never be replaced, but always remembered, "REST IN RIDDUM BROS!!!!!!

Can I get the intro track it is beautiful

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Roots producer here, one comment to add which I'm sure is innate to you but may not be obvious to others: listen (or feel) the kick drum pattern as that will also influence your bassline. In the drum pattern, the 1/8 pick up note on the kick before the snare has a huge impact on how this riddim grooves. Remove that kick and you have an entirely different feel. Of course if it were the other way around where the bass line came first, a good drummie is going to match his kick pattern to the bassline.

great mini lesson, appreciate you.

Thanks for your instruction with you I am learning a lot

I like Flabba Holt in Israël vibration🙏👊💪🔥🔥🔥⚡⚡⚡💥💥💥💯🇸🇷

JAMMOUT BREDRIN HOW YOU MEAN

Thank you!

That's a fancy J-bass. Never seen one with a trussrod like that and the modern little stringtree on the A gearhead. Is it a custom or something?

Thanks for telling us of your journey Rasta Ruddim Don!!!!!!
