I like No Doubt and Rancid.. These bands (used to) have roots in Ska but they combine it with punk and pop... This is a very interesting style to be covered in a lesson.

QUOTE Streetlight Manifesto's cover of Kaesby Night is one of my favorite songs of all time. I'm still kind of iffy about ska since Im looking for bands with a happy sound to it For something more upbeat, Less Than Jake are pretty good, try : http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=_F-ipYpd53I As gabriel said you could try something like Rancid or No Doubt, another favourite of mine is Reel Big Fish (great name i know  ) ;http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=gql9220Qon8 -------------------- Now Learning-

[quote]Some lessons about it would be very fine[quote/]
I would appreciate some lessons as well. I'm not good enough to give lessons, but i can give some pointers for those interested; A good starting point is reggae as they both use skanks, (thats the name i was taught for the quick upwards jab, honest.  ) see Gabriels lesson https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/rhythm-gu...e-style-lesson/ ( good job by the way) if you were to speed this up you would get the ska style. Very frequently its the first four strings used for chords, but you can barre for a fuller sound. In terms of tone, you want your guitar as bright as possible, so lots of trble almost no mids and about 5 for the bass maybe a bit more, oh and turn to the brightest pickup. -------------------- Now Learning-

They are hellish and I had to play them in the album recording of our band as we included a cover of that song... --------------------  incoming spoiler read it at your own risk!
