I remember watching an old interview of Bob Marley and he kind of explains the differences, but I never understood it fully until watching this, Thank You.
Hello I've been watching this video for some time trying to learn similarities and differences of each style. But could you possibly demonstrate how to strum like these styles but along to click, perhaps in the future? Thanks huge fan of the Caribbean music! (PS: your playing is very cool)
Great video xylan,im learning ska and reggae,so you play the upstrum and palm mute down strum,iv been practicing,i love ska,from first jamaican ska,dessmond dekker,prince buster,and to 2nd wave ska 2 tone the specials,the selector,im a rude boy,so any tips would help,so play the up strum and mute the down strum,to hear the clicket,play up mute down??yes
Good job my brother, but can you do a tutorial on the Soca/Calypso strumming alone (by itself) peace. I can't catch the Soca strumming pattern. I am really slow on the coca, I need hellpppp!!!!
On some 2tone ska tracks like one step beyond or most of The Selecter songs, the rhythmic is halfway sustained. And what differenciates it a lot from classic ska is the forward presence of organ.
Great video, could you please do tutorial that goes a bit more in depth on string muting, particularly with open chords (such as open D) or muting open strings?
i didnt knew the differences, thanks for the lesson man!, i wanted to know what type of genre or subgenere is this song called "no necesitamos banderas" by Los Prisioneros, im not sure if thats reggae or something...
It's great. If I was in a reggae band, I'd want to do some ska and some rock steady and maybe even some soca although I don't know much about that. I can listen to it all day but as a musician, I don't like being confined to one groove. It gets boring.
Great video Xyan! Are there different forms of Reggae also? Like a slow rhythm and a faster one, and do they have names, like in Cuban music? How best to approach learning more about Reggae - what should I listen to? I have two or three Bob Marley records but I'd love to know more. Thanks!
I could see the harder strum at 5:00 being used by a skinhead reggae band. Theres been some bands in Europe reviving that sound since the Aggrolites. Is soca influenced by the old american ska punks? That fast riffing reminds me of the way a lot of the 3rd wave bands did it.
Reggae was brought to Jamaica from Cambodia in 1967; this beat existed in Cambodia as early as 1966 (see 13:35 if you don't believe me th-cam.com/video/QdxjC5Qx1lM/w-d-xo.html). Leslie Kong is Cambodian
Interesting that you're using your little finger to fret the 5th string and ring finger to fret the fourth on your bar chords. Rather than the other way round. Better for muting the strings?
No offence but you got rocksteady wrong. Rocksteady is a single downstroke. Played in that era by people like Patrick Mcdonald (at Studio1). What you called Rocksteady is actually skinhead reggae/early reggae which was played by people like Hux Brown. You do do a great job at playing. Amazing. But you got the genres all mixed up.
@@Rudeboy008 . Oh. I think I know the video you're talking about. 👍. Yep. Lot's of times, those performances/videos are long after first generation ska and they are just playing more of an early reggae/"skinhead reggae" arrangement. Usually same tempo as ska
I have always loved Caribbean music; but never understood the difference between the genre's. Thank you so much! I greatly appreciated this!
Appreciate you. Can hardly find tutorials with explanations for Caribbean music, especially Soca. Thanks so much.
Thank you sir!!....I'll be sure to upload more on soca....Thanks for being here!!

Thank you for the video, I've been trying to improve my hand movement for Ska and I could see your handmovements very clearly! I appreciate it!
You are welcome sir
It was helpful indeed! Thank you for clarifying all of these tiny (but so important) details!
Man I just assumed those were the differences in the beats after years of listening and you just confirmed it for me. Thanks.
thats cool like like.I like them all but think Ska is my fav............at the moment ha thanx
Thanks Mon!👍😎 I love da island music an it's great to find a vid on the different styles.
Thank you! One Love. Makes me want to play guitar again! Bless Up brother!

Be on the look out for part two to this! Thank you for those positive words and thank you for being here 🙏🏿🙏🏿
Thanks Xyan, great tutorial!!!. Already subscribed, greetings from Colombia!!! ;)
Thank you for being here my brother!!
Check out my latest tutorial on the channel also. One love rasta!!
I play all live but mix the styles in one song and it works imo
I am seeing through the verse is one thing and through the chorus another. Music is powerful and the Arrangement of it can really make one move.

Sure my brother
Thanks, how about 2 tone ska? Whats the difference
On some 2tone ska tracks like one step beyond or most of The Selecter songs, the rhythmic is halfway sustained. And what differenciates it a lot from classic ska is the forward presence of organ.
You could to make a video telling us about the history of the reggae!? I'm learning guitar now but i would love to understand more about the history
Great video, could you please do tutorial that goes a bit more in depth on string muting, particularly with open chords (such as open D) or muting open strings?

Soca takes more infuence from Funk.
Soca didn't know punk existed, probably.
Good stuff fam
Give thanks🙏🏾🙏🏾
Love this!
I appreciate it🙏🏿
Thanks Xyan!
Bless up!!
Thanks for the lesson!! #bigups
What kind of electric guitar is that

Thank you so much!!!
Soca is why I'm watching
Thank you for the informations man
Most welcome!
Thank you man! ✊🏽
Thank you so much 🙏
Hey thank you for stopping by! I'll be doing. I can see you love music! I'll be doing version 2 to this one very soon so be sure to subscribe 😉

yes it does
i love soca
Cheers man.
Right back at you my brother!
Thanks 🙏alot man
Your welcome 🙏🏾🙏🏾
I only ska, rocksteady and Roots reggae. I never knew soca
If it wasn't Mento music from Jamaica, then there would be none of this 😊
Flipping your camera drove me a bit mental for a little while. "That's not left!" :)
Please play also a skinhead reggae pattern!
He did, at the beginning. Lots of people mistake it for ska. Ska is a single stroke. Not that 3 stroke pattern
Ska came before Rocksteady?
You can be sure about this
Yeah. After Mento came ska. Which I don't know much about Mento but ska from the 60s is the best.
Why does your soca sample sound like ska... or at least western ska
epic
Nuff respect
Left handed = best handed
Where is the guitar licks🤔
I'll be doing part two to this tutorial.....thanks for being here 🙏🏿🙏🏿
@@XyanGuitar cool 👌
all ya need, the first minute, lol
It's tricky getting that "hardly hear it" muted ass sound
No offence but you got rocksteady wrong. Rocksteady is a single downstroke. Played in that era by people like Patrick Mcdonald (at Studio1). What you called Rocksteady is actually skinhead reggae/early reggae which was played by people like Hux Brown.
You do do a great job at playing. Amazing. But you got the genres all mixed up.
I'm in pretty sure I saw people play both way though
@@Rudeboy008 maybe at live shows and such but at that time (1966-68) there was no such thing. Rocksteady is just a single downstroke.
I've seen ska both ways my bad. In the same video of the skatalites playing. That's what I was thinking of
@@Rudeboy008 . Oh. I think I know the video you're talking about. 👍. Yep. Lot's of times, those performances/videos are long after first generation ska and they are just playing more of an early reggae/"skinhead reggae" arrangement. Usually same tempo as ska
RUDE BOY!
Thank you!
You're welcome!
