  • Dennis Brown was Bob Marley's favorite singer and has one of the greatest catalogues of songs accompanied with some outstanding bass to go along with it. I would advise anyone looking to dive in to some great reggae bass to start here and check out the rest of the great work of this great reggae vocalist who left us way to soon. Long live King Dennis Brown
    Backing track and PDF are available here.

    Great video Don, I was a little late to Dennis Browns work, my first record I bought of his was "Foul Play" back in 81' which featured Lloyd Parks and Robbie Shakespeare on bass
    . Truly inspirational basslines on the record and indeed Dennis Brown was a vocal King.
    Our drummy (Jordy) did a side project with Marla Brown (Dennis's daughter) who was scheduled to tour the USA with us back in 2018 but unfortunately had to pull out due to unforeseen circumstances so we snatched up 'EarthKry' from Kingston Jamaica as they were budding young reggae enthusiasts.
    Not sure what tracks were used or even if any real musicians sat in for the session recording for our drummers cover version of "If I Had the World" as it was pretty much his own personal adventure, anyway, the track is one of my favourites off of the Foul Play album and I just love covering it.
    Riddim up!

    • @donstrumental8905
      @donstrumental8905  Před 2 lety +1

      Play as much as possible and eventually you don’t have to think about the bass. Play softer to sound heavier.

    When l heard the revolution riddim the first time back in the mid 80s I was hooked.... Very different from other basslines I heard before and it's been versioned by countless artists amongst then the DJ Lieutenant Stichy. And yes of course there's another great favorite, "Africa".

  • @kevinmoore4237
    @kevinmoore4237 Před rokem

    Every video I've watched on this channel so far is genius-level teaching. It's like that Jamerson book, or the James Brown Funkmasters, where you gather a body of material to study and explain how it fits into history and why it's so important, so the student is already excited, and you have the links to the original songs, and then you put it in a format that lets you learn it in condensed form, then you show how it's more than just individual "songs" - but malleable ideas that the student can apply creatively to other songs. Like the one where you take the rhythm of one classic bassline and apply it to a different chord progression. The whole approach and the pacing and quality of the bass-playing - all of it - just perfect - just brilliant. I'm hoping there's a video here somewhere that explains the various types of drum sequences that you're playing over and how to design those.

    Learning this has kept me busy for weeks. Thanks so much for making these resources available. I've learned so much just from this compilation--so nicely put together and so well done!!
    Once I'd learned all the notes and lines, I realized I really need to work on my articulation, to make it sound more authentic. Would you consider doing a video that focusses on articulation, note length, muting etc.? Thanks again for the inspiration!
