This video is about alternate reggae strumming. Here I look at the technique involved in strumming reggae guitar, but with a focus on alternate reggae strumming.
This alternate reggae strumming is not very common, in fact i don't even think it exhist. In the video I strum on both the up and the down stroke. This is to keep things efficient.
I used E minor, A minor, B minor and C major for the chords in the backing track. I hope you enjoy the lesson peace and love.

Es el mismo ritmo basico de guitarra pero sumandole el rasgueo de ska o en otras palabras, rasguear hacia arriba. Gracias. Me gustaria que el teclado fuera igual de versatil que la guitarra para hacer ritmos

It definitely works but I’m a bit long in the tooth to change my down stroke technique. But I’ll have a go at it 🤝

At 3:34 picture shows an A shaped 5th fret C chord but you are playing an 8th fret E shape C chord. right?

Yes, that is correct. Note that I go between the two when am playing - just depends on what is easiest to play at the time. Peace and love.

Upstrokes are for SKA

I know thanks for telling me!

Don't use [many] upstrokes in reggae. It's ska with upstrokes. You should already know that and be telling us.

@playreggaeguide Жыл бұрын

The upstroke is used in both Ska and reggae! You don't have to do it, but for some people, it is easier to do. I use it all the time on stage and I will not stop using it! Peace and love!

Lol....reggae happens on the downstroke

@playreggaeguide Жыл бұрын

Yes! I know! But we in Jamaica use both techniques! For the strum and chuck! Initially, when we developed the reggae strumming, it was an upstroke like Ska! But roots reggae slowed it down and we found it was easier to use the down stroke! So the down started being used by us first, and then everyone followed suit!

@playreggaeguide Жыл бұрын

All of the ones I see from Yard use it! It's time and place and style! You can not play reggae without an upstroke anyway! That's how you get the chuck, strekeh or shakah guitar sound! If you are a reggae guitarist you have know how to do it!
