Alooooha. Hey JJ, are you a magician? You disappear and reappear 😂. Reggae! Funny, because when it first came out I didn't like it much, but love it now. A somewhat difficult rhythm to master, well, at least it was for me. Much mahalo my friend. Sooo glad to see you again.

[@JJMilare]

🤣 I used to want to be a magician when I was younger, but now just a musician haha. Yes this is a little more difficult than other rhythms. I noticed that reggae rhythm doesn’t come natural to many people maybe because the rhythm is in the off beat? Not many are used to that

[@kelalamusic9258]

@@JJMilare you probably were a magician and didn't realize it. As for me, I apparently was when I was a kid. My parents were always wondering where I disappeared to and miraculously reappear when meals are served😂. Yep, reggae is a hard one alright. It certainly isn't something that comes easy. Even when you have learned it, it takes a bit of time to refamiliarize yourself with it. I think a Jamaican Rasta came up with that style while smokin' a joint. 😵‍💫

[@JJMilare]

@@kelalamusic9258 oh wow you’re the Original magician! 😆. You know what I heard about reggae, they were trying to listen to the radio and the radio didn’t have good signal and the signal would come in and out which now made the reggae sound

[@kelalamusic9258]

@@JJMilare sounds reasonable to me. But I'm sure they were all smokin' joints (ganja) to get their creative juices flowing. 😵‍💫😂

[@JJMilare]

@@kelalamusic9258 you’re probably right 😆

[@JJMilare]

Ah yes. Not sure when I will get to it I have a long list but if you use this strum. You can do F Dm Gm C and keep repeating it. Or G Em Am D and keep repeating. If you want to do exact key as Pati, you will have to capo the first fret and do F Dm Gm C from the second fret. :)

[@TiffanyDawnGono]

@@JJMilare hehe thank u for the chords, the only problem is I can't catch up his strumming. Thank u so much ur a great musician!

[@JJMilare]

@@TiffanyDawnGono ah ok! I shall put it in my list! You can also try to slow down the Pati video too. I found that's an option on KZbin now too. 🙂

[@peninaakau5219]

can you make a vid on how to play laga savea take me away

[@JJMilare]

Aloha Penina. Oh man I haven't played that long time. Laga's da man. I'll have to see when I will do that one. But I'll make a note. I kinda backed up with other stuff too cuz I'm just trying to come back to KZbin again :). I think I remember it's only four chords and a 5th one somewhere in the song. :)

[@jamesanthonymendoza4565]

Aloooha, can I use this on any song?? I hope u replyyyy

[@JJMilare]

Yes you can! As long as it has a four beat pattern which most of the songs have 😃🤙🏽🤙🏽
