That would be great, Matt.
I and I agree that a huge number of people love the genre and would like to see a resurgence, or at least not die. An urgent collaboration of heads could possibly make it happen, urgent because so many of the original greats are gone or going fast. Fortunately some are still around who can help. I can think of Richie Daley from Third World, who I believe is still gigging.
I expressed the same thoughts to Don Chandler, who runs the Reggae Bass Club and we’re growing and thriving enthusiastically. But bass needs the other instruments as well. We need each other. So we’re building up bassies at that end. If the same can be done with the other instruments, collaborations between players can really get a chance to gear up.
As a guitarist as well, I’m really grateful for Art of Reggae. My thanks and respect to you and Tuff! Tuff’s lessons set me off to a great start and I’m happy to report that my chops and double chops are no longer at stage 1. You guys are holding down the keys fort as well. Somebody else with a school for drummies and the other stuff and the I could be off and running.
If you can, please reach out to Don at his channel below. He’s a great guy, pro bassie, and educator and man of many hats like yourself, based in the UK.
Riddim!
I’m glad to see that there are a few fellow members out there. Not much action in the forum…for whatever reason. Not a lot of members?
Hey Matt,
I only signed up for the guitar course, but thanks for pointing out that the piano & organ courses may help my guitar playing.Ok, so if any questions come up, I’ll be sure to bounce it off you.
As we use to say back in the day…More time (catch up later)!

Hail up Matt, & great to hear from you!
Yeah it would be great if the forum is active and buzzin’ like a beehive! I’m at home woodshedding my early beginner guitar chops (reggae, rock, blues) so nothing to share so far. Looking into some gear to record myself, if only to hear how I sound when I’m practicing. I’ll probably use Garage Band.
BTW, I’m VERY happy with how my guitar chop & double chop are coming along. It’s surprisingly “not easy” but thanks to GREAT explanations from Tuff, I’ve come a long way since I signed up for the course! My sound makes me think of Marley’s scratchy guitar on the Rasta Revolution album, one of my faves from back then and still so. Not a bad sound to try to emulate, eh?! I may try to keep that scratchiness as my signature.
Keep in touch.
Noel
