Hey guys, I’m Rabea. I'm the lead guitarist in Toska, Frog Leap & Dorje where I write music, make songs and have a great time with my mates. I also have my own line of guitars with Chapman Guitars, and I’ve designed numerous products with some really cool companies, such as the Victory Amps VX Kraken. Anyway, i hope you enjoy my videos, thank you for watching!

Somewhere, Dan Steinhardt is nodding his head in a cloud of pleasure and Mick is imagining a James Bond montage.

@@ssoonnyymm Oh gosh that just destroyed my dinner HAHAHAHAHA

Feel like I've just attended the church of Bea
RabeAmen
Can we make that a religion?
We can make a religion out of this
... sry, but i'm already Afrotheist! ✌🏼

I used to say Rabea Massaad was one of my favorite UA-cam guitarists.
I no longer say this.
I now say he's my favorite guitarist on the planet.
Can't argue he is a monster with great feelz!
I swear I've listened to the jam at the start and at the and at least 50 times.
For some reason it helps me to focus.
Thank you Bea
Thanks for that! I was in the ZONE hahaha
@@RabeaMassaad Is it weird to see the video and realize you were physically embodied the whole time?
@@RabeaMassaad pls be in a zone again, stay there for a good hour or so, record it and take my money coz I'd buy that in a blink of an eye
Yes this is so true, it's magic
It's really good to work to, I find it easy to listen to and zone out at the same time
"And Lo!" he said "Frogive and you will be frogiven!"
The more I listen to Rabea play the more he is becoming one of my favorite guitarists. I love that he seems comfortable in pretty much any setting musically. For a while I seemed to only click on videos where he played blues and he did so very convincingly. I was resigned to the notion ‘oh ok he’s a great blues guitarist’. Then hearing some of his Toska songs and his approach on the Frogleap stuff and it’s like omg he’s also a very modern “djent” capable player as well! Dude is phenomenal. I love Rabea he’s so humble and unassuming while letting his playing speak for him. So glad I’ve come to appreciate Rabea I am a fan and look forward to studying all of his work! Dude knows gear too!
Heck yeah man, It's like... If I were actually able to get my ideal guitar tones/riffs/noodles/etc. from my head to an actual amplifier, this is what I envision it would be. However, I am lazy and scatterbrained so it is very difficult for me to focus and commit.
@@Itowle9 Lol totally hear you man. I’ve been attempting a lot more ambient type playing lately and it’s not near Rabea’s level whatsoever. I recently purchased the Plini plug-in by Neural DSP and gotta say there are some nice ambient sounding patches on there though. Effects do help lol.
Absolutely would buy a Fire by the silos tab book instantly just like I bought the Ode to the Author Tabs.
DrBrovahkiin ME TOOOO
Hell yes!
Standing by. Count me in for a copy.
Wish your Mike volume was a bit more. This old phone isn't very loud. Sounds like whisper.
Rabea, a Strat & an ambient rig, just pure perfection; I could sit and listen to this for days and days on end. Because you Rabea, I now know the kind of guitar I want to play as in ambient guitar. Thank you.
Your channel and playing have inspired me in so many ways!! I picked up a Revv G20 and G2 pedal because of your demos and as advertised, they deliver in spades!! As we all develop our own unique styles of playing and music creation, your channel is absolutely inspiring others! Keep it up😎
17:10 pickup demonstration
24:23 pentatonic noodling lesson
29:00 chord progressions
32:30 time signature lesson
37:08 improvisation discussion
You're Goated bro
@@ejnova7215 💪
You're such an inspirational man and musician, few years ago I was frustrated about guitar and you made me happy with it again. Thanks a lot.
I WOULD TOTALLY PURCHASE THE TAB BOOK FOR "FIRE BY THE SILOS"!!
Bea is probably the most skilled guitarist when it comes to ambient phrasing, masterclass in these scales. Beautiful playing!
WE ABSOLUTELY WANT A TAB BOOK.
Release it as a go fund me thing, that way you can take the orders, before it's made.
You only need to make one tier: Pay the money, get the book when it's released. Set a funding goal, and get the ball rolling.
39:55 That jam really got me! I love that sound, the feeling of it. It's just perfect!
I could listen to this guy noodle away 24/7 - honestly...
Might just bea my new favorite thing
These are my favorite vids you make. What a soundscape.
Moving, hypnotic, spiritual, uplifting. Just what this sodding lockdown needed. Bravo Bea!
Mr. Massaad, This is by far, some of the best music I have ever heard. Seriously. You have a remarkable talent sir, undoubtably, through years of honing. I could listen to this all day long. All day. An hour and half of your "noodling" in an album would do very in my opinion. Thank you sir. Please keep it up.
Music for staring into the abyss. So deep and moving. I have no idea how you just freestyle such soulful stuff. You are one of a kind, Bea. Thanks for this.
More of this. Love it. Melodic improvisation at this level is just so beautiful. This really is something you are great at !!
This is what we wanted!!!!!
Super interesting hearing you explain how you do chord progression. It shed some light on some things for me. Thank you for sharing.
I find in your playing, that your humbuckers do an incredible job of not really sacrificing much high end, and your strat doesn’t sound brittle and harsh all while going into the same presets!.. would you say you accomplish this because of the pickups themselves and the way they’re tuned or do you use any different input settings when switching to different guitars?
Love the content and sound Bea, keep rockin 🤘🏼
Dude. I get you. 100 man. i can feel your chord progressions. centralized melody with a million tangents veering off ....who knows where. Man you got a new fan
everythig flows so wasily and 'fluidly' like it's meant to be that way before it even gets there...love this song development...Mr.Bea is the Master
Music as an instrument of healing and inspiration, there isn’t a finer example than this.
Heads up World, here comes Rabea.
I need more of this :) Of all the ambient guitarists out there, Rabea takes the biscuit.
Why doesn't afrojesus bea have more subs?? Like I've been subscribed for 3 years and he still hasn't gotten the numbers he deserves 😔 also beautiful jam Bea🤘🏻
Andrew McCollum his playing is too sophisticated for the masses. People gravitate to ‘how to play more notes per second’ or another shreedfest. I like that bea is a man who plays things differently and doesn’t always focus on speed.
@@theonlyredspecial preach it man🤘🏻 Bea plays it all with his unique soul in it
MASSAAD You are an Alien!!!! you are out of this old world!!!! Great musician, incredible violist, always amazing!! Hug from Argentina!
From now on Phrygian Dominant will be known as the "Bea Scale"
Well thanks for giving me something to learn today!
I’d love a Fire by the Silos tab book!! Or even the downloadable ones like you did with Ode to the Author. Those tabs helped me improve so much, please do another book
I'm so glad I bought a couple new studio monitors recently! I get to hear Bea in all his greatness!
Far King LOOOOOOOOVE Ambient.........thanks for sharing man
Dude, put something of this variety up on Bandcamp. Several of something of this variety. Me buying.
Nothing like being drowned by a sea of reverb and gain ❤️
Thanks for uploading!
I'm back for more. Needed more today than ever. I can't stand the news these days. Thank You Mr. Rabea Massaad for being you.
Hey from Detroit Michigan,U.S.A,thank you from across the world for the music you do,I’m a drummer,but I also dabble with the guitar,I’m honored to be a part of the musicians family….I enjoy all types of music,although my favorite genre is heavy mental…..straight forward hard punching metal….
Detroit baby!!!
Damn these BeAmbient sounds give me chills. Pls go for it if you are in the mood for something like this.
Tried your Archtype Petrucci Ambients and had to look what the master himself came up in this genre.
Not only an amazing musician but also a very pleasant guy to watch. Thanks for keeping us all company these days.
This was amazing, Please do many, many more!
Dude this is everything I want out of my Strat.... You are killing it as usual. I've got a similar thing going on with my Syn-2 setup. Those heavenly ambient tones are just incredible bro... Keep it coming!
Bea is going to join Sigur Ros-Love it!
A tab book would be sooo cool man, sounding great as always!
Fan from India. Lovely. positive vibes.. And hair makes everything better
Amazingly beautiful & superb. How am I just now discovering this great guitarist?
Words are failing me brother. Just thank you. 👏🏻
Love the format of this vid Bea... like a masterclass with Q&A. Part of me is thrilled to be picking up tips, the rest of me wants to burn all my gear because comparatively I’m shit and so is my tone 😂
Adam Hamer That’s not a reason to burn all your gear, it’s a reason to use what to have to get better
My God those settings
Amazing
Also, that Strat sounds every bit as good as Pete's purple Tele.
Ayyyyyy.....Rabea the Einstein of tone
I would definitely buy that tab book!
Perfect! Thanks Rabea!
This video helped me during the Pandemic.🤘🏿😎😈🤘🏿 I'm so happy I continue to follow Bea 5 or 6 yrs ago to now.Thank you!!! !!! !!!Bea 🤘🏿😈🤓😎🤘🏿 Getcha Pull-Cheers 🥃🤘🏿
Yes. I wants tabs (and notated music if possible) of everything you have. I bought the Ode To The Author tabs. I’m not near good enough, but I still want them for when I am good enough.
Thank you for keeping me sane through this lock down with your beautiful music.... I just sit back and close my eyes and listen.... Bliss.
Thank you bea!👍🎸🎶😇
This is one of the most inspiring videos of guitar playing I have ever watched. It is how I aspire to play.
the baritone jam litteraly blew my mind
If you're looking at Lollars I would definitely recommend the "blackface " set , especially with an Ash bodied strat...the slight bit of extra midrange from the blackfaces compliment ash strats quite well. And you want a bit of extra drive from the bridge pickup, the "strat special " bridge pairs nicely with the BF neck and middle as well.
Would love some videos on your thought process and what you look for on the fretboard to improv ambient guitar! You rock Bea!
So glad I'm not the only one who loves to play like this!!
Thank you for showing us the way, master. Excellent demonstration of your approach. TY
This is most tranquil. Subbed.
Yes to a tab book.
I was thinking I would take some time to go through your videos and pick out a bunch of your ambient bits to learn but you must've read my mind and left them in one easy place for me.
I would buy one of those tab books in a heartbeat man!
love what you do. keep doing it. inspiring.
thanks for all your hard work and dedication Bea, you really inspire us all. please do consider releasing a tab book of Fire by the Silos, I seriously think it would sell well enough and it would definitely make us Toska fans delighted :) cheers
The opening 5mins has a touch of Edge (U2) about it.. love it..♥️
Awesome video dude! Thanks for your insights into how you play and improvise, it is really helpful!
Rabea, I sure enjoy your creativity. You must have an ancient soul with many journeys to draw from.. Peace brother..
Glorious.
Ya know, when I 1st you play you were jamming with Rob @ Andertons Music. I thought you were just one of Robs students, helping to promote the cool gear that the store carried.
I had no idea that you would turn out to be a true-enthusiast that can actually play pretty damn good. Keep up the great job-Rock On Man☠️🤘🏼
Definitely up for that fire by the silos tab book! :)
yes to the Fire by the Silo tab book!
I'll have a big bowl of your noodling please.
You get the greatest sounds.
I remember you installing the new scratch plate. Kool look.
GREAT video!! Never stop noodling or please make a record with this noodling!!! And keep skate and destroy!!!
Loving this stuff.
By far my favorite video of 2020. I keep coming back to it over and over 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I Thankyou so much . Your truly a Great Master GOAT.
You see this is why the music part of youtube is my favourite part of youtube!
I love how huge your tone is. Watching your recent pedal board build on tps the thing that stuck with me is how massive your sound is and 3 dimensional.
Loved that man, I'm going to go play it again and play along with it. Yours and Hannah's covers of wicked game and what goes around are constant staples in my backing track practice sessions. Depending on how I'm able to improvise over what you've played this will probably join them
Talk & tips and questions begin at 13:14 and the jam out starts 40:14
MaSSAaD Sos un Alien!!!! estas Fuera de este mundo viejo!!!! Gran músico , violero increible, siempre asombrando!! Abrazo desde Argentina!
Yeaaaaaaaaaaaas! Thank you for this! Be well and hope to see you back on stage later this year.
This is still so awesome in 2024 🔥✨
Yes on the tab book or just a tab for Prayermonger.😂
That bit in the beginning with the major chords sounds like the chord progression of the beginning of Women In Love (VH) a little? Very nice!
Plays the greatest solo I've ever heard.
Bea:." I'm just playing complete nonsense."
beautiful !!!! I just fell tears in my eyes. Thx
I can't stop watching this! Amazing work here.
the boy with the good touch
Incredible sound!
9:46 has to be the best strat tone I’ve ever heard 😍
Blood pressure lowered, stunning sounds 👍
Beautiful.
Also I love the way you made your set up. It's important to have a room in which you feel comfortable. It certainly helps in the creativity .
Love ya Rabea. Stay pure , it is a rare and beautiful thing .
