I'm Leaving Chapman Guitars
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 чер 2024
- Hey guys,
So this is something I’ve deliberated for a long, long time, but I figured as we approach the end of 2022, it’s an opportunity for change with the new year, and so it’s time to do what I feel I need to do for myself and move on from Chapman Guitars as a signature artist.
It’s been an amazing 10 years, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the love and support I’ve received from Rob, Lee and everyone at Chapman Guitars over the time I’ve been with them.
They gave me a signature model guitar when I was literally just starting out, and it was such a nice, cool and kind gesture, opportunity and platform for me to grow as an artist, and as a product designer.
It was Something Rob and Lee really didn’t need to do, and I assume was potentially a risk at the time! But they wanted to because they’re friends and wanted to help me grow, and that is something I’ll be eternally grateful for.
Rob, Lee and myself have been good friends for a long time, and I’m grateful for all the good times we’ve had together at Chapman. Just to be crystal clear it’s all good for those wondering! We are still friends and there are no bad vibes between us at all. Just love and support!
There are still some of my guitar models left and available from various retails and online, but after they’re gone, they’re gone. I have mine and I’ll play them from time to time, because they’re something I’m immensely proud of and it’s a truly great memory and achievement I’ll hold onto forever ❤️
So with that, it’s time to say goodbye.
Thank you Rob, Lee and Chapman Guitars
Rabea
🙏❤️🙏

Love you dude, good luck with everything and you will always be an important part of the Chapman family tree! ❤
That is really nice of you to support him this way & be cool with this!
Rob this is exactly why we all love you man! Just so so supportive of your family and friends! And all my best wishes to you Rabea you're going to do great bro! Now time for me to get back to my wife delivering our first born son❤️🥰 Happy New Years to you all!
Hi Rob, could you please tell me when Chapman Guitars will stop manufacturing the ML3 Bea?
I was planning on saving up for a ML3 Bea baritone.
Thanks and happy holidays!
I'm so proud to have bought the first sig ML3, such an incredible guitar made for an even more incredible artist. I also have Lee's sig guitar, they're so great in every way. I was stuck in a loop hole with my playing and one day I stumbled across the Andertons channel. I found somehow of a family, some kind of teachers and absolutely inspiring personas to push the boudaries of my playing and artistic view of music. Just watching Rabea start from a "Pizza dude" to a guitar hero is so inspiring. If you really want something, make it happen! Thanks Rob for your confidence in what Bea could achieve right from the start!
Very kind words dude ❤
I just wanna say thank you for the immense amount of support here. It’s genuinely heart warming to read these comments and I’m so grateful. Honestly that’s immense.. so thank you.
Just to answer a couple questions.
There is nothing going on I haven’t mentioned. I just really felt it’s time to change things up. The main thing I felt was to move on from chapman and see what happens.
It really is that simple. Nothing has had to go wrong for me to leave. It’s purely a curiosity for myself and the idea of the unknown is appealing to me at this stage in my career.
This is something Rob totally understood and quite honestly encouraged me to do. Offering me to be able to return should I ever choose to.
So hopefully that clears it up a bit.
Either way, I love you all and thank you for the immense support as always
❤❤
Rabea
I'm just surprised it has taken this long after Rob's grifting and dishonesty was catalogued in that KDH video three years ago, as a result of which he got doxxed, hounded and blackmailed by Rob and his myriad sockpuppets...
Sooo strandberg?
Well done, Rob Chapman was dragging you down badly. I think you’d be way ahead of where you are if you’d dumped Chapman 3 years ago, but all that matters is the future. Feel proud that you are no longer in the shadow of such a shady weird man. Hopefully Lee will wise up soon too.
@@hermanhawtrey8578 yep, high time that lying, thieving, narcissistic sociopath got his comeuppance.
You sir, at least in my eyes, are one of the few guitarists that are keeping the phrase guitar hero alive. You'll do more than fine wherever you land and I'm excited to see and hear it.
You were with Chapman for so many years. It’s honestly inspiring to see people moving on and doing their own thing. Change is scary but from experience, it opens so many doors and feels refreshing.
I am a 61 year old novice player and I can honestly say that you have inspired me to keep learning. Some of the videos of you and Pete jamming are just incredibly good music. I wish you good luck in whatever path you decide to take.
Bea, completely makes sense. Following you, Lee, and Chappers for over 8 years, what an amazing journey. Seeing your growth has been both inspiring and motivating in my own musical career and work. Seeing all that you've done with Neural, UA, Frogleap, clothing lines, and what I experience as creating your own community in your own way. Makes perfect sense. Good luck! Excited to see what unfolds over the next year for you and your future endeavors, partnerships, and seeing you follow your dreams!
So glad to have met and spent time with you this year Bea, and I'm certain through being a Chapman Artist you've inspired a great deal of guitarists (many of whom I know!) to pursue music in some form or another. I definitely know the 'moving on for myself' feeling and it's tough but sometimes those decisions have to be made. All the best for 2023, hope to catch you again soon!
A few decades ago, I was your age, Bea. Part of the journey as a human being, a musician and an artist is trying different things; this is an important part of how we develop. Sometimes those crossroads are really hard; I kind of get the impression that this is one of those for you. With your personal friendship with Rob and Lee, it’s probably way more difficult than it would be if it were “just professional”; but moments like these really show who your genuine friends are. Sounds like both Rob and Lee are supporting you and this part of your journey. Friends like that are priceless.
you’ve been a HUGE part of my guitar journey. i’ve learned more from you than my teachers. nothing but the best wishes from kansas america
Man, that montage at the end really made me nostalgic for Dorje and Toska. Amazing stuff.
We love you and Hannah and support everything you do.
My only question is…. Why is your studio almost empty? Are you moving house?
What did I miss? Best of luck in everything you decide! Be well, Brother!
yes, my questions as well
My question too
@Mucho Macho its a fair question , he does make videos for us to watch from there. And he has shown off his studio before. So it's just odd to see I think. Was curious myself
If it’s of any relevance, we will know in a few weeks when it’s time for the next video. Patience guys😅🙏 and happy new year🎉
Same! Excited for the new year!!!
Love your playing and humor and character. Stay in touch with all of us. Love from Oregon USA!❤️
Good luck to both of you in all your endeavors. I'm sure you will make more music together in the future, but it's good to step out from under the umbrella of safety once in a while and expand your horizons. You guys are inspiring, talented, good dudes, who love what you're doing and it shows. It helps create the spark so many artists truly need, and it's interesting to see you not locked down into one genre, or idea of this manner in which you like to jam. Peace and love going forward. A sincere thank you both, Rob Chapman, and Rabea Massad !
I got your Pale Blood and Carthus burst and I'm excited to see what could be a possibility in the future. You are my favorite guitarist in the world, Rabea, and I've watched you grow for so long now. All the love and respect to you for what you've accomplished so far and I'm eagerly waiting for the next thing!
Never feel bad or worried for wanting to grow and explore the world you're a part of! It's been lovely watching you grow on UA-cam and seeing all the wonderful things you've done :D
Big love and always admiration for your enthusiasm! G
💜💜💜💜💜💜
The last year/18 months has really had the feel that your career is on the cusp of moving onto another level, and sometimes when you face those moments it's not about leaving things behind, but making room to be able to make the most of what's to come. All the best with the next phase my man.
I was lucky enough to meet you a couple of times in LA around NAMM several years ago. You are a true gentle-man. You have inspired millions and humbly, me to play and strive for something more. Love your music, tone, style and most importantly your personality and humanity. Thanks for your hard work in presenting yourself to the world of UA-cam. Can’t wait to see what’s on the horizon for you. I’m sure it will be amazing. Ps. Thanks also for Archetype Rebea plug-in , it’s simply amazing!!!!
You’re an amazing artist Rabea and I among many others truly enjoy what you have to share with us. Life is a journey with many different attractions along the way. Enjoy the ride.
I’ve got your first Bea signature model. I got the chance to meet you and Rob in Seattle a few years ago and you played and signed it. My best to you Bea!
I got back into guitar after pausing for 8 years (work/life) my first video I randomly watched was Anderton’s with Rob and Lee, then came Rabea…. You guys are fundamentally moving the industry into the right direction with appreciation for the craft. Name on the jersey doesn’t matter as long as you guys keep the mission moving forward. Get people excited and obsessed with music again (beginner, professional, garage, world stage)
Sincere thank you to these guys and others grinding on these channels day in and day out and getting me back into recording music. keep it up!
Same here, Anderton's was my intro to the UA-cam guitar world after getting a guitar after many years!
Something good is around the corner for you! Definitely fully support you and all you do! Thank YOU for the absolute mammoth tunes you have produced! Not a single bad song you have created. You are truly an inspiration! Such a humble, genuine dude. Love you, man! Rock on!
It's good to hear you're following your heart. Many people regret not doing what they wanted in life. I can say you have a lot of fans and support. Good luck!
Nothing wrong with you being nervous making this video! Just means that you truly care about your relationship with Chapman guitars. You have inspired myself and so many others, keep up the amazing work!
Keep it up! You’re a huge inspiration to me, and so many others!
You’re a legend!
Love your playing and style, but also the energy you pour out for us to benefit from.
Keep on keeping on!
Best of luck.
Looking forward to the next chapter.
What a great heartfelt and well expressed story...nice one bro....good luck with future music endeavours!
Your star is rising Rabea, you’re a massive inspiration for my playing and I’m excited to see your “journey unfold” (lame saying, yet true) 🤘🏻
thank you for everything Rabea. I know there is loads more to come, but I grew up watching Andertons videos with you and Rob. I have been watching them since I was 15 and i am 25 now. you, chapman guitars and the lads inspired so many years of guitar playing from me. I wanted to be like all of you guys. I nearly started crying watching the montage as it reminded me of lying in bed in my mams house wishing I was as cool as you guys and wishing I had your guitars. I am Incredibly grateful to have been exposed to the level of work, dedication and honesty you guys put into what you do. Thank you for all the joy you have brought me so far, and best of luck with whatever it is you wish to pursue next! 🤟🤟
One of my favourite gigs was seeing Dorje at Audio in Glasgow. One of my fondest moments was seeing you shredding on a mahoosive stage in front of 10,000's of people!!! its all a journey - you deserve global recognition - keep on keeping on
I have followed you and rob on socials for nearly a decade! I own a Bea signature guitar! I am so excited to see what the future holds for you. Dorje, Toska, all the projects you have been a part of. I see the passion you have for your work. It’s inspiring and it’s what makes keeping up with your content so compelling. Good luck!
You're a huge inspiration. The Africa cover is directly responsible for me actually picking up a guitar and starting
lessons five years ago.
I can tell this was a hard message to record. We all start somewhere, and it's never the same place where we end up. You are quite loved and respected - 350k of us agree with me, I'm sure ;) Best wishes to you for 2023
wow, couldnt have said it better than that Adam. Agreed and Gods Blessing to you Rabea
Well said.
Lame
I think it was a hard message to record and pretend to still like Rob Chapman during it.
You remain an inspiration, even more so the lovely way you've told us about yr new plan - wishing you all the best with your next chapters
Love the video. Have been watching you, Chappers and Lee since the very early days. It’s been very amazing to see what you guys have all accomplished. Best of luck in the future!
You wanna earn your own way, and there is nothing wrong with that! It’s incredibly admirable to wanna branch out on your own and challenge yourself to try new ventures, growth is healthy. It’s awesome your friends gave you that opportunity and it’s equally awesome you helped them with their brand as you did. I’m sure Rob and Lee are incredibly proud of you.
Growth as an artist is never a bad thing. Well done on this Rabea. 🤘🏻❤️
Amazing journey bro. Great edit of the memories. Best of luck for all that stands ahead.
You play with such passion and have a great persona! Happy New Year to you, Rob, and Lee 🙏🏻
Your evolution of drop D tuning truly makes you a guitar pioneer among the greats! Can't WAIT to watch what you do next brother!! Maybe a full Riff Wars #3 track? ;)
Time for us to support your choice more than ever. You had to do you Rabea! Stay amazing keep being you, and the road will be open ;) Best Regards from Greece.
All the best Rabea - I'm sure many new and exciting opportunities and adventures await !!! Good luck !!!
Dude, congrats on the big steps being made and the courage to do you! Love everything you do and we as a whole will follow you anywhere!
To be honest mate I've thought you've out grown Rob Chappers a long time ago. You've kept yourself honest and behond reproach. I'm suprised you've stayed connected to the Chapman brand for so long. You've been a very loyal friend and a great ambassador.
I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking this! I used to love Rob and Lee, but they've made some really bad decisions over the years and haven't handled it the best. Bea is the one guy who never did anything sketchy or made himself look bad. Realistically, the worst he's looked is just because he was attached to Chapman. Really glad to hear he's moving on, the future is bright for this dude. Such a monster player and a great guy
Totally agree. . Unlike Rob , Rabea seems genuine and likeable.
@@EvilMike349 100%!!!
@@EvilMike349 I feel like I'm completely in the dark about this. care to elaborate?
This.
Don't ever apologize for doing what feels right in your career. Appreciate what they did for you and what you did for them and enjoy your life :)
You are a great inspiration to us all Bea. Your playing is legendary and you have achieved so much. Time for your next chapter in life and we'll follow you along for the ride! Best of luck in anything and everything you do. Much love brother from Springfield, Missouri.
Tons of support here!! I met you at the Cleveland Rock Hall of Fame when you did the tours with Chapman guitars. Good luck with your next adventures!! You got this!!
We're supportive every step of the way, man. Your guitars don't make you, YOU make you - and that's why we stick around. 🤘
Amen
👍
Absolutely
there is nothing to add
You've got this dude! Everyone moves on at some point or another and this is your time. You have insired so many and im sure you will continue to do so. All the best with your future ventures Bea! 🤘
Bless You, Rabea! I could feel the emotion in every word. You met the right people at the right time to prepare you for this next step. That's a BLESSING. To be surrounded by and nurtured in such an atmosphere of love for music. I have a brother who threw away his gift. The world needs you (To quote Victor Wooten). Go, Create, Rage! I've enjoyed every review & demo you have been a part of that I've seen across the board. You're an AWESOME guitarist! Eyes open for what you bring next!!!
Keeping the good relationship with Rob and Lee is awesome, I like both of those guys as well...good luck on your new adventure and keep up the hard work !!
It’s all good! I think. It’s natural for a creative person to try to spread their wings and to try doing something on their own. You’re an amazing talent with a great attitude. I’m sure you’ll be successful at anything you attempt.
You are awesome Rabea. Just wanted to say - you are my favorite modern guitar player. Your music is just fantastic. Also thank you for not having a click baity title on this video. Much appreciated
you guys have been amazing!! Good luck man with your ventures!!!
At first, it was a shock, but after some sentences it completely made sense. It's absolutly understandable.Staying in motion and keeping the own development process alive is so important, especially as an artist. And listening to what your gut feeling says is crucial to make the steps that make you feel good. So I'm sure you are doing the right thing :) I've stumbled over your channel and music just a few years ago, but it instantly got me. It is awesome to see how you are progressing, evolving and I'm sure you'll keep doing this.
Take care, man. And have a great year 2023! :)
All the very best to you RM. You are one of the most talented young musicians in the planet right now, I can't wait to see what the future holds for you! ☺️👍
Everytime I listen to Dorje or Toska my heart breaks again, especially Dorje. It was such an important band to me together with Toska's first EP. Thank you Bea and good luck with the next step!!!
Aeromancy!!!!!
@@lostfound4330 catalyst. so crisp.
David Djent, middle class dreadlocks rock
Good luck.
All the good vibes in this new year ...
Happy riffs.
Health and sucess.
Such a great video!!! Thank you for being so transparent, and thank you for never forgetting those who helped you get to where you are today :) You are truly a GREAT and Wonderful person, and one Hell of an artist !!!!! Cheers!!!
Whoa... I wish you all the best, man. Wherever you end up, you're still my favorite shred/Riff Beast.
Bless you. After what Rob did to that UA-cam creator a couple years back I've avoided watching anything Andertons, or any UA-cam channel produced if Rob was involved. Bless you for moving on. Best of luck. You're a class act, and you look absolutely fantastic.
are you talking about that weirdo at Riff City? LoL
@@makers721 watch the video by KDH
Same, i wouldn't want to support Chapman even if my favourite guitarist (Rabea) has his signature there
Have you a link?

I´m almost 60 and I´ve been listening to music all my life and I follow you probably since day one. Some players have a different spice, something new, the freshness of the future...you sound amazing! thanks man.
You are awesome! Love your vids. Congratulations and best wishes on your new endeavors!!
Onwards and upwards mate, you should all be rightfully proud of what you achieved with those sig guitars, looking forward to see what's coming up in the future!
This also felt like a send off for Dorje. You will be missed.
Good luck! I look forward to seeing what’s next for you !
Good luck in your future endeavours! You three are still my 3 musketeers in the guitar world!! The growth I’ve seen in all 3 of you were massive! Disciplined and determined with such drive for music. Rock on!!
Glad to hear all is cool with you, Rob, and Lee. But yeah man, you do you. Best wishes as your journey continues.
NDAs prevent you saying anything bad plus it looks bad if you leave under a cloud, i suspect some rich people are still rich while poor people leave - always follow the money
You have my deepest respect for putting yourself out there like this, and the guys from Chapman guitars have my deepest respect for giving you a safety net. It says a lot about you that one of your biggest struggles is with loyalty and about them that they're being so loyal to you. Basically, these are the kind of lifetime friendships that matter the most. Good luck, man. You deserve all the good fortune and love you get.
what safety net?
Wonderful musicality!!! Reminiscent of "Porcupine Tree"...LOVE your playing and Happy New Year!!!🎄
Excited to see where you end up!
Your channel has been such an awesome source of inspiring guitar content over the years, I'm sure you're heading to interesting new places
Happy New Year! (almost)
Good move. You've shown you're not afraid to grow within your life. I hope you're still invited to the Andertons channel as your jams with Pete were exceptional.
DAMN you guys made SO much amazing music together! You'll land well Rabea. Can't wait to see which company is smart enough to throw their weight behind you! Happy New Year!
Congratulations on a new year of adventure and unknown! I’ve always felt like you were the straight shooter on the channel and look forward to following you along the way.
A massive hug and good luck with the future. You deserve it mate. Lots of love.
Your work with dorje is still to this day some of my favorite music ever written. Perfect blend of grace and melody with darkness and grit. Oh what i would do for another album…
Shame Rob couldn't sing or write for shit... and turned out to be such a prick.
@@richardharrold9736 Bro I think rob's voice fit that band like absolutely perfectly. That's just me though.
@@tommykimberlin7528 nah, he was always what was holding them back from being anything more than a joke pub rock band.
@@richardharrold9736 I guess we agree to disagree then
Sarcasm?
There are always reasons to mov on.
But it says something positive about people and a company when your "I'm leaving" video ends with "And here's some of the best bits".
You clearly have good memories, and good experiences, of being a part of Chapman Guitars. I look forward to seeing what comes next.
I have enjoyed watching all 3 of you over the years. Best of luck. Plz keep the videos coming!!
Really looking forward to the next chapter in your career man. It’s not goodbye when it’s looking to pastures new. Sometimes we need to make these changes to see what’s there, flow in the river of curiosity and see where it takes us. Good luck with everything. Much love ❤
This move makes sense. I wouldn’t be able to articulate why exactly, but I think anyone who’s ever moved to a new city to explore new horizons gets it. In a way, you’re honoring where you started by launching into other great things. And I’m so happy to see that your relationships aren’t changing. I’d imagine Rob and the Captain feel like proud uncles right now!
Another time Bea you proved to be not just the most incredible and inspiring guitarist out there (in my humble opinion, but I believe it with my whole heart), but also a wonderful human being, a true friend to the people you love. I'm so proud of your growing during those years and I can't wait to see where will you take us in this journey. I'm very faithful because I'm 100% and beyond sure, that whatever you're going to do in the next future, you'll keep remember us why music (and i particular your music) is one of to most beautiful thing of being alive. You're an absolute legend, and I'll love you and your work forever; thank you so much for everythng you do, and good luck for what comes next!
Cheers ❤
Met you and Rob both at NAMM in the basement. We had the booth right behind you with Oxygen amps. Was so cool to meet you both, play the first Chapmans and I think one of the first Victory amps as well. Eddie Kramer across from us, we had a great week. A lot has happened since then, congrats on that and to the future for you and Chapman guitars! Happy New Year!!!!
You’re an awesome guy and pray that you stay blessed in the coming years. Can’t wait to see the adventures.
Love your stuff Rabea. You're an absolute beast of a guitarist, but such a humble likeable guy too. You're a class act. I wish you all the best with your next chapter, man.
why is the studio so empty?
Thanks for putting in some of your music. I have seen you in shred videos but never actually heard any of your music. You made a new fan. Good luck with all your future endeavors!
You inspired me, Bea. I'm sure you will continue to do so.
I love my ML3 Standard Bea Baritone. Glad I seized the moment when the opportunity arose!
I will always treasure it!
Good luck with everything that comes next.
I'm not the biggest fan of Rob but you guys sure had some great moments with some great guitars. That calls for respect. Good luck on the next adventure.
Same. I stopped watching most of those channels associated with Rob, but had to check this out since it popped up.
What's wrong with Rob?
ççççcccçççççççcçç
@@stoneysdead689 Google should help you out, but even before that ordeal, I wasn’t a fan
@@stoneysdead689 he's an insufferable dishonest bellend.
It's called life. Getting older and finding who you are. Keep updated. You have a lot of USA fans. 🇺🇸 Hope to see you on stage in the US.
You're amazing, Rabea. Great man- bless you and all you do!!
Good on ya, Rabea. Bigger and better things for you in the future!
Where is all your gear?
It was all chapman
@@chickenboyyyy7860 I'm talking about the amps & synths & pedals 🤣🤣🤣
His studio is empty
We all know Chapman is a scam brand, the cat is out of the bag, good for you
Super awesome work that has been done and much more to come it sounds like Bea, can't wait to see where your journey leads and you have a ton of supporters out there. Reppin from the USA across the pond.
Fingers crossed you get a Fender deal, a strat sounds amazing when played by you. Good luck, and happy new year.
I can’t wait to see how amazing Rabea will be when he finally has proper guitars in his hands. The future is very bright!
You were always the biggest musical talent that brand ever had, I came into this whole world via Rob's channel and I have gradually stopped watching Rob's videos entirely, stopped watching Anderton's videos entirely, you are the only person from that scene I still follow, you will go on from here to bigger and better things than ever, I'm sure this will be an exciting new chapter of your life and will be the best one yet
Happy new year, Bea. I have been following you since you started doing YT with the guys. You have always been true to your friends, family and your fans. From Frog Leap to Anderton's to Chapman Guitars--you have always been genuine. Pure. The real deal. You can only go on and up from here. There are a lot of people like me who are looking forward to your next undertaking. So, bring it on, man. We can't wait to see what's next.
Besides, something tells me that you, Rob and Lee will be working together on something eventually. Cheers, Bea.
Where ever you go, we are with you! Congrats to the success and good luck for the future!
Chapman sales are obviously tanking hard, I don't know how many stores still carry his brand. But good move nonetheless. Rob has really ruined his reputation for the past several years, will not be surprised if he goes out of business soon
Admire your playing immensely, and know you'll achieve more. Sadly Chapman has become, through nobody's fault but his own, a toxic and malodorous presence. He taints everything he touches and you and Lee are better than the level he'll drag you down to. Best wishes.
Hear hear! Old Farty Breath Chapman needs to be kept at a long distance.
Is there still bad stuff going on with him. I remember a few years back there was the big blowup with Riff City and all that but I thought Rob had gotten back on track, like sorta paid his dues and did his time. Has something else happened?
@@williamturner9450 come on “William” you know it was a LOT more than the Riff City issue. All the scams begging fans for cash whilst buying a lovely new PRS, his wife begging fans for money for singing lessons which never seemed to materialise etc. It was all so shady, plus his plank guitars were (and still are) dreadful with multiple problems.
His response to being called out was to go full on bully in the extreme. It backfired and the true Rob Chapman was exposed finally. Hardly anyone believes his fake “GREEEEEEEETINGS!!!” persona anymore.
Are you Rob? Because it’s odd that you’re suggesting it was only the Riff City issue and that everything is fine now.
It's been great to see your growth and progression over the years. That montage had some memories, man! Good luck for the future, can't wait to see what comes next!
Hey, your studio looks great! I’m certain manufacturers will come knocking. HNY!
