  • Seen Sublime several times, back in the Nowell days and more recently with Rome, and they absolutely do not play this way. When they play Reggae off-beats, they use a down stroke. This goes for all Reggae and usually for ska. Playing the off-beat using an upstroke has the same timing but an entirely different tone. They wouldn't be able to successfully do the double-stroke off-beats or skank ghost-strokes using upstroke first. Calypso uses upstrokes for off-beats, not reggae or ska.

    Items of note….
    *Says "not that I'm an expert or anything"….proceeds to be fuckin expert
    *Only time you smile properly is when you say the word "punk" and I love you for that
    *Are you the Hamburgler but have lost some weight?

  • I prefer to switch the down and the upstroke, downs are more aggressive and you get more attack

  • Ska doesn't use power chords, barre chords. They use tenor jazz style on the bottom four. Even you're so called sublime style is incorrect. Try looking in a book. That way you don't have to play "parts" of the chords. You're playing reggae and nothing but

  • The problem I have is that I never sound crisp enough. It's kind of muddy and my muted strokes are barely audible

  • hey been playing sublime for almost a year now and i just have a general question do u know if sublime ( brad nowell) uses standard 440 or does he do the half step that almost every one uses ?? bc i cant help but hear a diffrent octave when im playing with them i try to move the cord or what ever somewhere diffrent but i know like bad fish for example i know that the exact right way is just sounds a little off if you can answer this i would really sincearly love you for it

  • the best advice I could give you is to learn Jazz, Blues, R&B, and Swing music, check out Skatalites the godfathers of the ska craze movement of the early 50's, Tommy McCook is also a great person to check out, Don Drummond too, hope that helps
