Not long ago, I got a comment on one of my videos along the lines of:

“What about some reggae bass lines?”

So I asked this commenter if there were any particular songs or artists they’d want to see covered, and they replied:

“Oh I don’t know. I don’t know much about reggae other than Bob Marley”

This isn’t uncommon!

In fact, for most people, it’s probably reality.

Most top 40 radio will play a few really wellknown Bob Marley songs, but beyond that, not a huge amount of reggae makes it to the airwaves, which means most people’s only significant exposure to reggae is Bob Marley.

Now don’t get me wrong Bob Marley is incredible and arguably one of the most important reggae artists around.

But…

There’s more to reggae than the ‘Best Of Bob Marley’ album, and in today’s video I want to share some with you.

Some of the songs you’ll probably know, some you may not. Others you might know the more popular cover versions of the songs, but we’ll be playing the bass lines from the originals.

And of course, we will cover some Marley you can’t talk about reggae without him, right? In fact, the easiest song in this video is a Marley song, but it’s not one you’d probably expect.

Now if you want to start nailing some of these bass lines and get your head and hands around some authentic reggae tunes, make sure you download the tabs and tracks for all the songs I cover on this lesson. Just fill out the form on this page:

And I’ll send you everything you need to start playing these lines.

I hope you enjoy this one whether you know all of these bass lines or only the Bob Marley song!

Good luck with the lesson and happy playing!

Cheers,

Luke
