Zane.... You are the Man! Awesome playing Sir!

[@tunesnmusicandstuff478]

Thanks for posting this, I feel like a lot people just look at reggae as a stoner genre, you definitely know what your talking about and I think your doing justice to the genre.

[@kevind135]

Best fingerstyle reggae I've seen on youtube. Thanks!

[@TheKitchenStairs]

I LOVE THIS! Thanks for the lesson.

[@andrewbeattieRAB]

Oh hell yes. I love this. I play the blues harp and some finger style blues. This is so close to blues but with the 12 bar chucked.

[@sjeter61]

[@onemokly]

Wiow thx , this is verry verry cool !!!!!!!! I love it!

[@zacharron]

Hmm, interesting observation. I never noticed that I was doing that. Probably because I'm concentrating so hard on saying everything correctly and not forgetting anything important. All the reggae videos are already shot but I'll keep it in mind for future ones, thanks.

[@zacharron]

That's straight up classic right there!

[@privilegeunderground3429]

Love this !!!

[@ekcekvamodomoritus]

NIce

[@andrewbeattieRAB]

HEY, do you have any recommendations for a decent acoustic for reggae?? I just have my electric. Please let me know!

[@zacharron]

Reggae is usually played on electric anyway. There are no special acoustics for Reggae but one with relatively low action would help!

[@jhoanezferdinand2979]

jogja jogja jogjaaa in indonesia mr...

[@spanny88]

Awesome video brother, keep spreading the language of music...What is that slap bar you have on your guitar I don't have it so I have to hit closer to the neck

[@xenogenic_entity]

Thats a pickup.

[@natiprot69]

I wouldn't say the accents are on two and four, it's not like the skank is the reggae equivalent of a snare hit, the accent in reggae lies solely on the three, where the kick and snare hit (also called a one drop beat) it's better to hear the skank as going to the accent rather than being the accent itself

[@RubTN]

What guitar is good for a beginner ,aiming for raggae music

[@XyanGuitar]

Acoustic! Taylor And for electric, strat or Gibson Check my channel

[@REVOLUCION303]

That rhythm sounds a lot like "la paga" by juanes in my opinion

[@mattdorst2572]

Why didn't I think of this? Idk

[@SkyLoungeSupe]

Hello, what kind of guitar is that?

[@zacharron]

In this video I'm playing my Larrivee LV-03.

[@coachomri5468]

can you plz tell me the name of the song at the intro

[@zacharron]

It's sort of the "I Shot the Sherriff" chord progression.

[@coachomri5468]

BOB MARLEY I knew this song was familiar THANKS YOU ZANE

[@maxvip95]

I don't know if it's normal but my hand hurts A LOT when I'm playing this

[@zacharron]

+maxvip95 If you're not used to al lthe barre chords it will take some time before you develop the strength and endurance. Keep at it!

[@coachomri5468]

learn the proper barre technic

[@Yukista7]

it hurts so bad here lol

[@merlinsdog4530]

keep at it maxvip95, the pain goes after a lot of practice & once your past the pain it opens up so much more fun playing!

[@jonathanoudshoorn9088]

you rack a dicipline

[@lesart3446]

Skank means to dance. to ska

[@vincygarifuna]

The word skank in this case is not unfortunate at all. Skanking is a of walking with a dip, also a dance

[@Yukista7]

what kind of superpower have you in your left hand? lol

[@zacharron]

Lots of guitar playing. Make sure you've got a good left hand position with your thumb flat on the back of the neck and wrist slightly bent.

[@mertbarut3655]

there is no spirit in it

[@mayracalzada2165]

mert barut spirit it’s in your head

[@lamper2]

I thought we Americans clap on beats 2 & 4

[@agungrdf7071]
