[Cm] Okay [G] [Cm] [Bb]
breaking down the reggae groove we're gonna be in the key of C and
This one is one of those baselines.
That's real important to get a good round sound
Of course you want as much bass as possible in reggae when I say bass.
I mean low frequency you want low notes
And you have a little bit slightly busier with the right hand [A] and
Also this space is important as well, okay, so breaking it down
we're gonna be in the key of C and the first maneuver is
simply just going and that's going between C on the third fret of the a string and G
the fifth fret of the D string
Okay, and then you want to make a shift [Bb] to where you put your pinky on the C and do another
four hits and then
That's going from G.
Which is the third fret of the E string
[N] To B flat which is the first fret of the a string so the whole first couple of maneuvers is
And that's the whole baseline it's simple, but sophisticated
Incredibly powerful incredibly functional, but not all that complex
But the other thing like I said in several of these others
These other grooves and these other licks is that the time that we don't play is so important the spaces that we leave
The holes in the music that's where the exhale
You know you have to in order in order to live in order to breathe we have to inhale and we have to exhale
and in order for music to function properly feel right make people happy and
Connect we need it needs to breathe as well and the place that it breathes is
In the holes when we're not playing that's when the music can exhale
See what I'm saying
Leaving those holes in there for for the music to breathe is number one important thing have fun playing some reggae
I'm gonna play it for you
And then we'll discuss what makes it what it is and how it all goes together
