Remember when you first discovered the concept of Drop D tuning and it blew your mind?
I felt like a god :D
Yup it absolutely shattered my brain.
I remember it well, discovered it by accident one day when I was a kid. WOW! I sound like HELMET!
Tool.
Tuning lower with standard intervals - mind blown initially.
Drop tuning - mind blown again.
Drop on lower tuning - mind blown severely.
Drop tuning in which E-string goes down 5 semitones down instead of usual 2 - high impact mind implosion.
Open tuning effectively lower than E standard - mind reconstructed.
Combining open major tuning with 5 semitone overdrop mentioned above - mind expanded.
Applying open tuning of a 6-string on the 7-string, effectively expanding the bottom range - RETICULATED INTERGALACTIC PSYCHOACTIVE HIVE MIND.
Rabea is honestly the best teacher. He should definitely do like instructional DVD’s for everyone. I feel like I’d learn so much more
Might want to check this out :) www.musicisum.net/about/
DVD's heheheh
dvds in 2017 lol
Amen
Jake from Signals is VERY good as a sensible theory teacher, Mike from The Art of Guitar, and Uncle Ben are also theory monsters as well as great technical players.
"Sometimes you need that width"- Bea 2017
Akuma Kami nice one hahaha
*cough* Ben Solo *cough*
You can never have enough width.
"honey never gives up" - bees 2017
"move up the fretboard in the key of d minor"
*You have unlocked unholy confessions*
Easy
Derrick Abbott Almost Easy
Lol
Climb up with the a string minor scale from open up while alternate picking your e)-now D string with every note that you hit on your a string, climb up or down to shred.. Then add all the diads-two note chords, with the higher d string and the a string pattern u just hit. Either be a half step or fulll step in either direction Congrats u can now play with every song thats in d or a and even g. Which is prolly 40% of all wstrn music
I’ve been in standard tuning this whole time, learned the pentatonic scale and all 5 positions. This just blew my mind, can’t wait to get into it. 🤘🏼
Awesome bro. The world of drop tunings is great lol. You think Drop D is awesome? Drop C and Drop C# are even better imo.
@@ZachMcCordProg it's pretty much like drop D but just everything is a whole step for C and the low E is tuned to C and so forth.
does this technique only work on chapmans
Aliens Exist drop D works on every guitar
@Tim la Grêle I don't think so. It's a patented invention by Chapman Guitars Co.
ThDef maybe we are misunderstanding each other but i actually have my guitars in drop d, and they're not Chapman
you can only tune down if you have a chapman guitar its just logic dude
:whoosh:
That tone is godly.
Andrew D i fully agree holy christ its so good
Was thinking the same. Sounds like some kind of stacked overdrives
Yeah was going to comment. Dairy as fuck and has the clarity of a nun
i did read top 3 drop d riffs.
i basically just watched 5.33 mins of Bea telling me all the stuff i already knew, without even questioning why he's not playing riffs haha.
wtf same wtf
"In a nutshell, the finger acts as a nut."
Epic
Can you nuts act like a nut?
2:52 is not a horrible chord it's A/G and it actually sounds pretty awesome
What about a firebird style chapman guitar?
They might become like esp - just rip offs of every single gibson shape
How about an ML shape or something lol
Peter Salade that would be awesome
I would love some offset shapes
This needs a vote! To make it classy but modern!
That dsus2 power chord was like instant Tool
Sonic Titan yeah. I thought exactly the same thing.
The color/grain on that far left grey Tele-ish guitar is absolutely gorgeous. I get the same "Wow, that is beautiful!" feeling I get when looking at a Silverburst Les Paul. Kudos!
Agree!!!
When I first started playing guitar i would freak when I seen that the song to be learned is in Drop D. Lol Now I love it!!
Best lesson on D drop I have seen. Thank you.
I love how he smiled after that pinch harmonic
I've been playing for 36 years now and I just learned some new stuff. Thanks Bea
Rabea, i am a bass player who uses the one good finger on my right hand to do all the fretting work when i play, and use my two best fingers on my other to handle plucking work. It took me watching a guitar lesson on UA-cam a few months ago to realize what all of my "friends" that are guitar players could have taught me years ago whenever i expressed a desire to be able to play guitar.... knowledge of playing a stringed instrument that had no knowledge of chord building was the only missing piece. NO ONE ever shared that bit of free knowledge, especially when i am around so many musicians that down-tune their instruments.... Well, regardless. Thanks to my recently found knowledge and the basis on which to build my abilities, i have become quite the riffing addict on guitar in just a couple of months as well as continuing to advance my bass playing skills, UBER thanks to guys and gals like you for being willing to spread knowledge in a community of people that often seem very hesitant to want to advance the ability of those around them. Cheers to you! By the way, I FUCKING love my lefty ghost fret V2 =D
if ya wanna see how i play, i have a video posted of a cover of shortest straw on bass that i posted recently. cheers man.
Ive been playing guitar for 19 years, and never been a shredder, just a standard player. These tips have blown my head wide open. Thanks a lot bea!!! BTW Grinding gears rocks!!!!
Dropping the D just isn't the same without Danish Pete
my first drop d riff was Everlong by Foo Fighters!
Be quiet and drive - Deftones. Blew me away.
Both songs are absolute great drop D
Actually as a beginner player, This was absolutely helpful. It's been really cool applying my vocal training and the theory I learned in my life being a singer...the doors that have opened. IN any event, thanks for the new understanding .
This is exactly the video I've been wanting for YEARS!
I remember when I discovered drop tunings for the first time when I was a kid, and it changed everything. Great little vid that will definitely be helpful for beginners :)
Not only can he shred, but he's a good teacher as well. Good video, I like the direction being taken with the channel.
Proves what I thought. He has more talent in his index finger than I have in my entire body
Rabae: plays random stuff
Me: *mind blown*
Attila Felföldi dude same!
magyarok mindenhol 😂
Me: reads comment
Also me: agrees with it
For those people who aren't familiar with down-tuning, these tips applies to down-tuning in general (Drop C, Drop B, Even Drop A) and not just Drop D :) Also to give an example of a Band that uses all of these tips a lot is Bullet for my Valentine (Although most of their music is written in Drop C).
Great video as always :)
The E shape barre chord changed to D shape barre chord was so helpful, thanks alot!
Chapman Guitars needs to bring out some sort of rd shaped guitar. I'd probably buy one
That would be quite the guitar.
I’m not necessarily a beginner but this gave me ideas for songwriting. Thanks man.
Blimey! Haven't seen Rabea in a while - the fella has lost no end of weight 👍 Respect!
Never had it explained to me that way. Really clears it up, in my mind, and removes a lot of confusion I was having about drop D. Thanks, I really enjoy your playing!
Adam Jones of Tool loves that D sus2 shape, it's in almost every song. I do too!
Bea is an excellent teacher!
LOVE the 2nd tip with the barred d shape - will definitely use this! Thanks so much!
This is what I like about the 7 string in Drop A. It's the 6-string standard I've been learning, but then I can add in the 1-finger power chords.
Thanks Bea,these lesson style vids are a great way of teaching those of us who dont know about these types of tunings and why they are used.More of this type of content would be great.
That guitar + his playing = brutal sound.
What a great guitar sound.. Sharp, no buzzing.. Good for teaching and professional use. I must have one
Rabea is the best teacher love his approach to learning.
Thx man. Love your teachings
I'm of sufficient age, that the first time I learned drop D tuning... it was to play Cinnamon Girl by Neil Young. (actually - double drop D tuning to be more accurate) Still blew my mind!
Doug Booth for me it was Cortez the Killer
I like adding a G string octave to that last tip too. Drop D just brings out a different monster!
Love Chapman guitars
You have unlocked my next level skills with this amazing tip 👋🏽😉🇻🇪
Great tips. Thanks! I always think it's helpful for beginners to have tips like these so they sound like they're playing something. People get bummed out trying to play "twinkle twinkle lil star" from a book, and end up quiting! If they play something like this...wow! And it's easy!
Thanx for another superb Video. Rabea delivers Instruction in a simple and no nonsense manner.. Keep up the good work.
THIS! Such a huge video. Bea, you are the man. Thanks for unlocking this for me. Best wishes on your continued success and a great many thanks.
That's my favorite part of Drop D: Versatility. One-fingered caveman power chords and crazy stacked, extended voicings both fit comfortably in such a simple alternate tuning.
I'm not even close to being a begginer on guitar and for playing metal for many years i'm no strange to drop tunings however i've always prefered regular tunings. Sound more natural to me. Recently i've been playing drop tunings more and this was really cool. Some interesting tips.
Rebea for President!
Simple, yet useful creative advice. Great video, Rabea!
Adam Jones officially approves this video.
So, if you want to play an A maj in drop D, play a Dsus2 and move it around the fretboard. Really helpful, Rabea. Really. Thanks.
Great video! Looking forward to part 2 with tips for Drop D ambient chords :)
Like the way you presented that idea Rabea.Great job!!!
Thank you. Great job
Real helpful, Rab.
Thanks
Rabea's the man !! What a badass guitar player !!
I have known about drop D for a long time now from friends and family but i have not experimented with it yet. I am however at the point where I'm chugging and such ... so I will definitely try the drop D. Thanks for the tips.
I all the time use Drop D tuning but i already knew this things or tips but if anyone want to use this tricks i say " come on and let's rock ;) " couse they are work ;)
I like this vid! Congrats guys ;)
Bea, could you please, in the name of (well, the good part of) mankind, record a guitar course? You are the best teacher in all of YT. The End.
PS: PLEASE, MAN. PLEASE. I bet anyone would pay wild loads of money for it.
Thanks so much for helping me understand how to work with drop d tuning.
Duuuude!! That was really cool,I'm a newbie at metal and just learning about drop D... So thank you much brother..😎🤘🏻🤙🏻
Thank you for this Rabea! You're the man 🤘🤙
Very very very useful!!!!! Thank you!
Very cool. I have to try. Good explaination. Thanks.
This helped out a lot. Just started to play guitar and write songs
Great lesson... I have played for years but never tried drop D so gonna give it a go tonight, nice one mate
Simple, but very effective... and well presented. Thanks!
very interesting ,as a slide player using open tuning I find the demo helpful thanks
That second tip I've always thought of as the "Tool chord" because they use it very often. I use it constantly when I'm playing guitar.
I'm a beginner and this is very helpful.. thanks
Awesome, very helpful and entertaining as always Rab! Thanks!
This guitar is beautiful and sounds awesome.
Very helpful. Could you please make one of these styles of videos on drop C# and drop C?
the concept is exactly the same just lower you do everything exactly the same as he says in this video but just in that tuning
Alex Rooney oh! I'm silly, I just realized looking at drop C and C# tunings that every other string is just moved down the same the low string is. Thanks!
Omg I thought your response was going to be that you were joking... been there before tho good luck playing dude
Same rules apply there, it just sounds cooler. Lol. Discovering new tunings is awesome man. Have fun dude, and happy riffing!!!
He always has the best metal tones
Such a killer tone!
Awesome.
Cool thing! Can you do it also for Drop C Tuning, or is it the same! I guess it´s only one step downwards?
Was that a snippet of O Fortuna at 5:31 ?!
I heard too!
Carl Orff is the man! O Fortuna is, of course, the most famous movement within Carmina Burana.
Thought that too..
Hmm... That's why it sounds familiar
now does it blow your mind to know that the most prominent "rave stab" of all time came from the recording of O Fortuna?
Those pickups sounds really good.
beautiful creative expression !!! Rabea
Sooooo helpful for desperate beginners, thank you!
Love the finish on that guitar
Your videos are rad! Keep it up. I love these Chapman guitars. Superb instruments, they are!
Currently my favorite guitarist
Thanks, Bea! Always love when you teach us tips and riffs!
Thanks Rabea, I appreciate it. Very informative.
Great video great teaching really help me don't stop you are very inspiring 🙏
Gotdamn, Bea, you’re lookin good dude! Your hard work has definitely paid off!
Awesome...something I've never really tried apart from a bit of overlong!! Will deffo give this a go ....cheers amigo
Sounds great. 🤘😎👍
Thought it was a helpful video. I've never played in drop d , usually standard tuning . Might just try it👏👏👏👏
Sure do like that guitar your playing , I may have to check into it
Love the Dsus2 chord shape. I also look at it as stacking 2 power chords on top of one another, if you don't play the E string for the sus2 'colour'. e.g. at 5th fret it is GDGDG(mute top string) for a big sounding G5.
with your index finger crushing the power chord on the lower 3 strings, use your ring finger to bar the 3 high strings 2 frets up, use pinky to press 2nd string one fret up from that. easier way to play that D chord.
Thank you!!
Drop D just sounds amazing to me, on off the best tunings
