That being said,learn your major/minor barr chords and dont play on top of the beat.......RELAX. It isnt SKA you know.
Learn how to double EXACTLY what the bass player is playing while muting the strings. this will also help you find the pocket in your rythem playing.
most of all, if you're the type of player that gets bored or antsy playing rythem, then perhaps you should move on to another style of music.
REGGAE is the sum of all the parts coming together,and the bass and drums are crucial.over played or rushed it can be a real MESS.

SWEET info!! Thank you!! I have knowledge of my barre chords (Major and minor with minor and major 7ths on 6th and 5th string roots), I just want to be able to fit into the music. I'm guessing that knowing the song is helpful to playing along with the bass player. I wouldn't be able to improvise quickly with barre chords like I do with lead lick playing. I also have to train my ear more so that I can know what barre chords will sound good on the 2-and-4 riddim.
thank you,
