2:14 the magic starts. great video mate
Thanks man, there are a few like this on my channel. Enjoy.
what a great tutorial! THANK YOU
@@heebass no problem. Happy to help you out. Enjoy.
Wow. Great tutorial. Many thanks.
Glad you liked it
It's real nice to hear this from someone who doesn't actually listen to a tonne of reggae. Seems easier to understand, somehow.,
I think people can get too caught up in this stuff. I listen to whatever I want, then if I like it enough, i figure it out enough to be able to do my own version that i’m Happy with. I’m glad it makes sense to you and now you can apply it to your style of playing.
Thanks Toby, that's my style of playing, make it funky baby! Hope to see lesson 2 one day!!! Cheers!
Cool man, glad it's going to help you out. I don't know what to put in lesson 2. Check out the other video like this to pick up the other techniques i use. They can work across heaps of styles. Cheers
Thanks for the answer! I've been checking most of your videos, your website and soundcloud... congrats man! This is good stuff! Actually, it's been a long time I didn't listen to things that I like that much... You deserve to be a lot more famous! Even if I really like rumba/buleria and flamenco, the sound I prefer is funky/melodic stuff, if you have any suggestions for other artists, I'm all ears...
You are right, since I know this technic of rumba funk, the possibilities seems to be "endless" of what you can do with that. I'm having a hard time staying concentrated on one pattern only because every time I play, another magic pattern seems to arise out of nowhere. Keep on the good work! Take care man!
Haha, yeah, I improvise all the time when i play, but it is good to be able to hold the groove when you need to. There's so many guitarists popping up all the time with crazy techniques. I'm always amazed at what's out there. My style came together from all my previous styles getting mashed and i just figured out what i needed to make the sounds i wanted. it's a constant search for new things and better technique. I started by playing trad flamenco over funk grooves, try that and see what happens ;)
Very good motivation video
Awesome. Hopefully it gives you enough motivation to nail the technique and play some great music.
Booom! Wow thats the sound i was looking for. Now i just have to get it under my fingers :) btw which acoustic guitars can you recommend for this style?
Cool, I'm glad you found it ;) I think any guitar can work with this style but it'll be a personal preference. Also, steel strings are more likely to shred you fingers more in the beginning. I like the feel and sound of nylon but I have played a little of this style on a steel string acoustic and it was fine.
What a sound person :)
Thankin ya kindly ;)
Wow so amazing
Thank you so much.
Great ! Thank you ! 👍👍👍
FANTASTIC!!
Thank you :)
OMG!.. thanks wow..
No problem. Have fun with it.
Toby this is super mate. Many thaanks for the lesson.
Hey, glad you like it. I wrote a little book about this technique and will finish the part 2 soon. Available on my website. Cheers
thanxu xo much sir
Thank you this is great, which chords are you using here?
Hi, glad you dig it. I’m using a Gm, Cm and D7 chords. I also just release Book 2 on reggae technique on my website today if that’s interesting for you. Good timing 😊
@@TobyHack-thguitarist that's perfect thank you. I guessed those were the chords, but I was tricked because with this reggae style of playing, they sound a lot hotter and groovy, like 7 or 9 chords,and that's beautiful
@@screwrecords6791 ah yes, the illusion :) Good rhythms can change simple chords into something special.
Toby a melhor batida de reggae que encontrei por aqui, mas ... no como se faz ! PODIA ser melhor. Menos blá blá blá, e mais demonstração 0BJECTIVA. PARABENS
Thank you... i think ;)
@@TobyHack-thguitarist😂
Hi toby I understand the strumming pattern but not when you string mute it. Is it first mute everytime you go up or is it up down mute and then up unmute and then again down up mute? Haha a bit confused here... thanks man.
Hi, I think the main thing is to get the chord sound on 2 and 4. If I want the short staccato sound then I string mute in between the quick hits. Eg If I think like this 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & - Chord sound on the 2 and 4 - If I want to hit the chord on the 2 and 2& the string mute with the left hand will be in between. So if I break the beat up more 1 e & a 2 e & a 3 e & a 4 e & a - 2e and 4e will be the string mute. I also think of it like this, my hand is on the chord shape with no pressure, so it's muted, and when I want the chord to sound, I quickly pinch it and release, so if you already have the right-hand rhythm sorted out you shouldn't have to think to much at all. Does this even make sense?
@@TobyHack-thguitarist hahahha I try buddy to make sense of it... yeah the right pattern I already know from rumba style but the left hand string muting makes it reggae stylish. As I can see at 05:08 I see you already do the the muting with the up strum? It is a bit confusing when exactly to do the muting.... hmmm the 1e and a... makes it confusing hahahaha thank you so much and I hope it is possible maybe to say it.with down and up... e.g. snare (3rd finger) + up down up + snare (thumb) + up down up? Thanks bud bcs I really not get your sound yet... haha been practicing for hours and can make my own sound but should be nice if i could get yours to match. Take care and thanks for replying. Love your channel!
@@maximemichiels If you want to, find me on facebook (thguitarist) and we can do a little skype session. No charge.
@@maximemichiels I'll try to explain it better for you in your way.
Snare (3rd Finger) mute chord mute
Snare (thumb) mute chord mute
Snare (3rd Finger) mute chord chord
Snare (thumb) mute chord mute
These are 2 patterns joined together. Does this help?
@@TobyHack-thguitarist thanks man! That was more explained in my style haha and maybe others will benefit from it too. I have send you a message through fb. You are fantastic. Thanks
