What is reggae?

[alciere@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

If you want a practice tape to play along with, with a world class rhythm 
section, I reccommend Bob Marley and the Wailers's Burning CD. For leads, 
pay attention to the guitar and the keyboards. Everything is restrained, 
cool, tasteful-the groove and the melody are emphasized. 

For everyone that likes to play Sonny Terry rhythm harp, listen to the bass 
and drums at the end of I Shot the Sherriff. Slow, simple, and a devilishly 
hard beat to follow.The bass drum hits on the 3 only, luckily, otherwise I 
lose count. 

Listen to the back up singers, the I-Threes for some great ideas on 
accompanying the singer. See if you can get a tenth of the soul into so few 
notes. 

A lot of the songs are in A and G. There's some nice minor stuff to practice 
your third position playing.
