What’s a ‘one shot’?
A single lesson video, sometimes 2 videos, focusing on a very specific area, as opposed to an entire course with 6-10 sequential lesson videos.

Do I have to take the course lessons in specific order?
No. You can drop into whatever topic interests you, or take the course sequentially.

What’s included in the practice loops?
In the Practice Loops section of the site you’ll find some amazing play-along tracks that include original songs composed specifically for the courses and one-shots recorded by the Art of Reggae band. (Tuff Lion – guitar, Winston Maccow – bass, Glen Grant – drums, Maroghini – percussions, Matt Jenson – keyboards) You’ll also find electronic re-makes of many popular Jamaican riddims. You can choose versions of the practice loops that are specific for your instrument in which that instrument is muted. For instance, if you’re a keyboard player, you can choose the practice loop version that has the keyboards muted. You can use any of these loops to practice any of the concepts you are learning.

The wonderful thing about reggae music is that, on a basic level, it requires relatively little technique and theoretical understanding so even a beginner can jump in and start playing a reggae tune or two very quickly. We’ll show you how. Once you dive in deeper, it’s an endless well of subtlety that you’ll discover to improve your groove.

The site has complete courses and one-shots for keyboards and Matt will be adding one-shot lessons every few months.
