In Riff Three, we shift from melody to rhythm and learn a lead line that mirrors the bassline — a powerful reggae technique used when there are two guitars in the band. One guitar plays the skank, and the other locks in with the bass to double its rhythm and feel.

We take inspiration from tunes like “54-46 Was My Number” by Toots & the Maytals, and break down how to play tight, super short staccato notes to capture that classic reggae pulse. You'll learn how to execute these with precise picking, left-hand pressure release, and control of dynamics to make your guitar part bounce with the rhythm section.

This is all about feel — keeping in sync with the groove, nailing those clipped notes, and staying locked in with the band. If you can copy the bass and sit in the pocket, you're golden.
