About the Book

Learn Authentic Rhythm & Lead Parts for Reggae, Ska, Rocksteady, Dub and More


It's no understatement to say that reggae music forever changed the world. A compelling mix of soul, jazz, R&B and Jamaican mento, it's the ultimate feel good music with its hypnotic, laidback grooves.


The Reggae & Ska Guitar Book is a one-of-a-kind guide to the guitar styles at the heart of reggae.


In fact, it's is a chronological guide to the development of reggae through the decades and shows how to play its many sub-genres with authentic, stylistically accurate guitar parts.


Your journey includes scheduled stops at:


  • Ska, the early years - how American R&B combined with elements of calypso and mento
  • Rocksteady - the bridge between the original ska and later reggae eras
  • Reggae - the emergence of seminal groups including Bob Marley & The Wailers
  • Dub - how versions or "doubles" creatively expanded the sound of reggae
  • Ska revival - an offshoot of the punk/mod eras, explore the sounds of The Specials, Madness, The Selecter and more
  • The Third Wave - how ska burst upon the US from a California-based revival, with bands like Reel Big Fish, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones and Sublime
  • Lovers Rock - reggae surfaces again, this time combining the sweet melodic soul of Motown with laidback Jamaican grooves
  • Going Full Circle - how reggae influenced world music and artists such as Paul Simon, Eric Clapton and The Police
  • Dancehall and Beyond - fusing island musical sensibilities with hip-hop, dancehall adopted a new type of reggae drum groove that has influenced countless contemporary pop records ever since
