Alekc20th July 2011Hi Jonathan ! I've signed up with GMC mostly because of this lesson Jamaica Rock, like it very much. But now I'm SO DISAPPOINTED cause the bass in the backing track so weak (not real, sounds bad) not the same you presented in the video. Now with this backing track i don?t have any desire for practice. Could you please upload a backing track with rhythm guitar and real bass ? I really would appreciate it! Thanks!
Ivan Milenkovic22nd July 2011Hello Alek. I'm in charge of helping members when it comes to lesson feedback, when instructors are no longer available. This backing is indeed a problem as it doesn't have bass line like in original. I understand your problem, and we will do everything we can to solve it, I already contacted management.
Unfortunately I'm on holiday, so there isn't much I can do over my netbook atm, but when I return in 2 weeks, I could create the bass line for your convenient practice. Would that be OK?
Thanks for your patience, and if you need any help regarding anything GMC related, feel free to let me know. I will contact you personally once the new track is up.
Alekc22nd July 2011Hi Ivan ! I appreciate for your timely response and promise. Please create rhythm guitar and bass. It would definitely be helpful to all of us (students). Thanks again and I?ll be waiting for you.
Ivan Milenkovic25th July 2011No problem man, will do, and will inform you as soon as I do. 
Bogdan Radovic27th July 2011Alekc30th July 2011Hi Bogdan ! Sorry man, maybe by mistake; but you uploaded same backing old file, cause sounds terribly, terribly same.
Bogdan Radovic5th August 2011Bogdan Radovic7th August 2011Alekc9th August 2011Hi Bogdan ! Thanks man ! You're one of the best ! I appreciate your help ! Aleks
Hey GMC'ers! Today, we will examine an interesting style, the father of Ska merged several times with the sounds of blues. Keep in mind that both Reggae and Blues are originally African. That is why, we're working on a reggae backing track with powerful riffs with blues scales and the solo will be based, initially, on blues scales and then on traditional minor scales.
Chords:
Dm – E7 – Am – Am/F# – F – G – Gm/E – A7
Techniques:
* Legato
* Alternate Picking
* Bending
* Vibrato
* Slide
* Palm Muting
Scales:
* A minor pentatonic + blue note
* A minor scale + blue note
If you have any questions:
* Give feedback (upper-right-corner)
* General Forum
Enjoy!/ Jonathan
