Re: reggea technices

Reggae is far more than a few tricks TJ, check out sites like jamrid.com and riddimbase.org and you'll see that reggae goes back 50 years with recurrent signature 'riddims'. Nothing hard about playing them but getting the right feel... well you need to get in that zone. Find the songs you like and work on them. I'm trying to get my band to do 'Police and Thieves' (Clash style naturally) even though it's a bass finger twister!
