An experienced player recommended that I learn to play some ska lines. I don't really know anything about ska with the exception of LTJ, any suggestions?

All new ska stuff. Desmond Decker is pretty easy and old school. Some of the slower Specials is a good time as well.

I haven't heard of SKA, but a new good punk band (I know, hard to believe

) is Anti Flag. Their bassist is REALLY good.

btw… I posted the tab for Reel Big Fish's “I'm Cool” (ver. 2). My band plays this song and it is a fun one to play.

Another song that we do is easier, energetic, and a lot of fun: “Ego” by

And I can't believe that I left The Specials off of my list, sigh.
