In today's lesson I'll give you an introduction to playing reggae on the guitar — guiding you through strumming & rhythm skills needed to get up to speed with this style of music. What I teach will work with an acoustic or electric guitar, and likewise will help whether or not you're able to play barre chords. In addition to showing you the must-know reggae techniques, I'll demonstrate these using a few different popular songs — giving you some fun things to practice along the way. Let's get into it!
