Got my first reggae vid up on my page, for some reason the format isn't accepted on youtube so I don't know how else to put it up on here but check it out!

Yup on what Roosterman said.   My DGB tuning makes Cs, Gs, Am, Bm and A easy and the F not bad.   Good 6 string Reggae teaching vids on youtube that translate well to CBG DGB tuning.  I like a gal there Clare Downling.

Ja mon!  I have been learning a couple of Reggae songs.   Learning the beat!   I do not know much reggae aside from classic Bob.   It seems to me a lot of his songs don't sound right with just one guitar......   Where are my keyboards, bass and girl singers?  Anyone making any CBG videos?  I would like to see some.

Say "Irie!"  I've been doin' a handful of reggae and calypso on my 3-string CBG for a few months...mostly non-reggae covers that I skank it up on (ie: Tim Hardin's "Reason to Believe" & The Cars "Drive" ... ) and some original tunes.  When me suitcase bass drum does the "one drop" and kicks it on the "three", it really gives the tunes a good feel.  Recently got a camcorder but haven't figured it all out yet...dastardly learning curve, ya know...so no videos yet.
