    This week I listened to nothing but Bob Marley and tried to write a song in a similar style. This is my first crack at writing a reggae style song, and it's like discovering a whole new world of music. It's one of the most rewarding things about studying a different artist each week.

    You got a lot of Marley's vibe here, on different level. Vocal(s), bass... Good job. Very good.

    As someone else pointed out, when you go to Jamaica you get into Reggae. It seems to just come out of the beautiful tropical environment. Fitting you would sing about the sun, even in MN. I want to visit Minneapolis and go to the Herbivorous Butcher, awesome vegan food I've heard of!

    Hey Ben, clever editing as always. Never listened to much Reggae but then I went to Jamaica and it changed..LOL! Love it. been to Jamaica 5 times in the past few years. awesome song. shared on facebook. Brilliant again

    • @benaaronmusic
      @benaaronmusic  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Wow! I'd love to go to Jamaica. The closest I've ever been was on a wedding cruise through the Bahamas, and there was great music along the way. Thank you for watching and sharing with your friends. That means a tremendous amount.

    • @CursiMusic
      @CursiMusic 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      went to Bahamas 2 years ago, it was okay..beautiful water though but I love love Jamaica. In 4 weeks I will be going to Dreams Resort in La Romana, Dominican Republic. looking forward to a break

    Pretty good but I just want to say that reggae guitar rhythm isn't palm muted thats a misconception
    You mute it with your left hand or your chording hand

    • @benaaronmusic
      @benaaronmusic  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Ah! What a keen observation. Another great tip that I should have included. I'm grateful for your comment.

  • @epschwartzmusic
    @epschwartzmusic 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Good point about singing reggae vocals. I cover Redemption Song and don't use the accent or "Marley" pronouns. It just would feel disrespectful. "Celebrate the Sun" is great!! You nailed the style.

    • @benaaronmusic
      @benaaronmusic  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      "Redemption Song" was the first song I learned from Bob Marley. A great tune covered by many famous artists. Thanks for watching, Eric. Have a great day.

    Willie Nelson next?

    • @benaaronmusic
      @benaaronmusic  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I love Willie Nelson! I actually tried my hand at his jazzy/bluesy country style here th-cam.com/video/92CgUPphMEA/w-d-xo.html It's not quite Willie's voice, but more of his chord progression style.
