Seriously, just putting out some random noodling makes me as happy as anything! Easily my favorite guitarist.

[@TheStrongBoyz19]

Taking me back from my obsession of Toska's brief discography when you played through a variety of riffs/improv and hearing these incredible tones. :)

[@alkyhauler8185]

EXACTLY, I remember discovering that and fell in love with that whole dreamy vibe and tones. 😎

[@Nb0ssProductions]

Rabea “Just Playing Guitar” ….pure clickbait works on me - great tones man

[@Mike_Spor]

How I start my day: listening to Rabea, my favorite guitarist even amongst the greats. pick up my guitar and jam out. Eventually call in late for work.🎉❤

[@bernardcannell5896]

That first half took me back to good old oceansize days

[@PudWud1]

Love Oceansize so much. Just wish they’d go back on streaming platforms. I own all of their stuff on cd, but I want the convenience of streaming for when I’m out and about.

[@Chris_Nouvelli]

I still listen to Toska every day and this kind of ambient playing video takes me there. You inspired me to play around with drop-c for ambient music and I’ve never looked back. Cheers, Bea.

[@hanomag251]

You should do an "Ambient Grinding Gears" album!!! Just some really ethereal music with a lot of Bluesky tones!!!

[@joshualuciani3896]

maybe it could be called "Smooth Shifting"

[@nickgjenkins]

Just gorgeous tones and playing. *chef's kiss*

[@Ray-um3if]

Hi Rabea, Tim Pierce just mentioned you in his latest video. 14:30 minutes into the video, says he would like to interview you. 🎸🍻

[@shanerose5348]

Music is its own purpose. Great stuff man. Made me want to pick up and play.

[@Jacob22941]

Lovely intro playing that tone is amazing

[@rolandguilford8301]

Absolutely incredible. Just stunning guitar sounds. Thanks Rabea!

[@Parariddle]

Beautiful as always sir

[@DJakeSt]

I absolutely love this!! Hope to see more videos like this in the future!

[@Terry_Dale]

Killer tones as always from a master. I can listen to you jam out all day long. Thanks for sharing.

[@marcusgray7515]

THE TONES BRO! THE TONES! Man you still can't beat well placed mics with your style of rig.

[@RikiGuitarist]

Looking and sounding great Rabea

[@randycrooks7410]

Lovely sounds.

[@Kinetic-Tone]

My favorite modern guitar player right here. You have no idea how many people you're inspiring to get into music/guitar when you play. Thanks for sharing your talent we freakin LOVE IT!

[@johnnie3Chords]

Yeah , that sounds great , lovely tone , and it's all feeling !

[@lukecassidy6300]

That sound is glorious

[@PureJadeKid]

The purpose of this video is that you make great music and we love it. Thank you for turning on the cameras and posting this!

[@marcusgray7515]

love the new guitar man. Always an inspiration.

[@claytonvolner5950]

Amazing tones. Also just tried out Archetype Rabea yesterday and for the first time in a long time I’ve felt really inspired again. Keep up the stellar work.

[@Julio-jf3zu]

Youre one of the very few guitarist that bring to mind the good old "there are no accidents, only happy mistakes" (or however it goes...) Everything you play sounds out of heart and soul, cheers to that!

[@hoam1293]

That perfect reverb blend… 🥰

[@fromthe4gotten]

Man, your riffage never disappoints!! 🤘😎

[@28jsexton]

Beautiful

[@rolandmuller1247]

sick tone, wall of sound absolute stuning great man. greatings from germany

[@liv2praz]

so good, dude! do more if this! could listen for hours. also, i’m convinced the alnico gold is the best speaker. period.

[@1234drums]

Massive tone ❤❤❤❤

[@bggouvea]

Love the ambient….❤

[@cesarcarpa7887]

[@LifeHawkeye]

When Rabea uploads any type of video, I watch it and hit thumbs up. Just love everything this dude puts out there and support him 100%. We love ya Rab!

[@Hoechachi]

We LOVE THIS 🎉

[@RandyRanis]

Hi Rabea! Thank you for the Neural SLO pack of your presets. I love it! Peace and music to all!

[@chaselawrencemusic]

That Vower Riff is going to be my favorite Riff of the year I think.. Absolutely BONE CHILLING! Stank Face 🤘

[@austinmidwest7062]

very nice

[@briansouther7518]

Sounds really good man! Those cabs are moving some air I’ll bet.Keep on trucking’Bea

[@paulsmith6381]

Nice!

[@stefanoadami7260]

This is unbelievable

[@mumblbeebee6546]

My favourite track of yours is Asylum, but I love the other stuff too… so basically this video was _perfect_ for me! Thank you!

[@RiccardoBottone]

You've always been my favorite guitar player on this planet, and you're such a great person, glad I had the honour to meet you!

[@jhhag]

Great tone and playing!💫💥👍

[@jhhag]

@Te_legrammeRabeamassaad0 For real??

[@adamkollarSOOT]

[@user-uj1bj7zf6k]

Thats what teachers just can't teach...💯💥 Glad that youtube proposed me 2see youre channel(Kid)😉young man Keep on playing from the heart💖,and experimenting whit the sound...👌🏾 thanks 🤞🏾🙏🏾🤘🏾

[@TheIzzy009]

God I almost cried when Toska riffs showed up ❤......Looking forward what pleasure Vower bring in the future 🙌

[@Nikoo033]

I also really liked your “old” video just jamming with a drummer and a bass player. 🥰👏🏻

[@ElPedro212]

Gorgeous

[@lonnymead8976]

Sounds really good big daddy!

[@dominikpass9553]

Pfuuuu….. What a tone ❤!!!!!

[@claytonvolner5950]

Just wanted to say that the neural dsp archetype : Rabea is amazing. With the presets and amps included in it I’ve been really inspired to make more music. As mostly a budget player I haven’t really messed with any other eq other than the typical Bass, Mid, Treble eq’s on an amp. I was wondering what some good eq tips might be? I’m kind of aiming for a high gain tone that still has some clarity for power (5) chord extensions. An example is typical drop tuned ones with the lowest strings open and then second fret on the third string and then third fret on the second string.

[@Fawkes1978]

Why am I hearing the Princess Bride theme during that beautiful intro?

[@qfz2112]

Yeah, I see what you mean. btw, did you know that Mark Knopfler was the one who wrote all the music for that movie? That blew my mind when I first saw his name in the credits

[@TheHitmann069]

Have to say, even with YT sound compression issues, these are some seriously full tones that retain amazing clarity. Did you do much post production before sharing these noodlings? Grateful that you chose to record this. 👊🏻

[@fredmarquis1105]

you can do more just playin video, i will sure add it to my work playlist .

[@dabuhr3343]

your jamming makes 100% sense to me.

[@SDA-Sound]

I love listening to you play! Would love to know which cam/lens you’re using for this 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@kevinneil6196]

9:39 the toska song we never got 😭 that’s the leave no meat on the bone riff right?

[@tarkenton3895]

I still need it so bad 😢

[@kevinneil6196]

@@tarkenton3895 I thought I was the only one. I still watch those 2 part videos when they were in the studio to hear snippets. And to watch Dave blow up the “Dave unit”

[@andrewbecker3700]

Hey, it doesn't hurt for him to always be playing some totally sick MusicMan guitars!

[@JustPlayingBass]

I like the title of this video 😉

[@jcarh]

It would be fire to be able to set this up with your Archetype within one iteration of the plugin in the DAW. So for instance to be able to swap these 2 cab configurations as options for each amp similar to how we can select mics. I know you can remove the sync and choose a different cab now but specifically add these 2 cabs as options on the same page. I do realize you can open more than one iteration of the plugin on a track or mirrored tracks but if I am using the standalone in a small live setting it would be great to have the option within the Archetype.

[@WilliamLemke-hk2in]

Rock out rebea

[@dreammachine86]

Is that baritone something EBMM custom built for you? Looks awesome & sounds mean as hell. Love hearing you play, you have such a recognisable style with the ambience, scales and chords you use. Plus it's some nice inspiration to start posting some more playing videos of my own. Always a bit nervous about doing it lol. Interesting to see how you play with your thumb over the neck a fair bit. I can't do that at all unless it's for a chord that absolutely needs it. The guitarist for my band mainly plays that way and it kinda amazes me how he can still be so fast.

[@ThePuffGD]

bea has been playing leave no meat on the bones SO OFTEN lately

[@shuno_music]

11:27 **cough** SHROUD! **cough** please release more VOWER, I already know that’s about to be one of my favorite bands. Such a lineup 😮‍💨👌🏼

[@vladsgarage8329]

inspiration - main purpose

[@bigcheeseman6570]

Thanks for the noods

[@DSeN7]

Thumbs up for killer playing without click bait.

[@Grillar]

Yes, just yes. This.

[@Kurjistaja]

17:31 my fav part

[@elliotgreen987]

Bea got a shoutout from Tim Peirce and compared to Lukather! Nice to see you get the respect you have earned

[@chrisdaviesguitar]

Ah Bisto :)

[@WilliamLemke-hk2in]

I also had a dean v guitar it would kick

[@snapfinger1]

Your heavy stuff could inspire an entire Tool album. Your softer playing has ambient prog potential.

[@micharoman9188]

More stereo joy.

[@LeaFarNas802]

wish I could have your signature guitar but I'm broke. 😶

[@WilliamLemke-hk2in]

How long did it take to learn guitar . Did you have a teacher or learned your self ?

[@MeAndUnrest]

Rabea hi! Why you like 22 frets on your guitars?why not 24? 😅

[@bigcheeseman6570]

What tuning? If you said then I missed it

[@guitarfanatic981]

whats that song hes playing at 13:50 and tuning?

[@SBCali1989]

@guitarfanatic981 sounds like Wicked Games by Chris Isaak. I’m not sure though. Tuning don’t know either. Peace

[@motortrack7903]

Some of that sounded like limp bizkit to me

[@WilliamLemke-hk2in]

I had a bass 80 watt . My wife hated me when I played guitar .

[@WilliamLemke-hk2in]

Amplifier

[@dwo37650]

I hate you in the most respectful way dude! The tones you pull out of your rig make me sick. I'm stuck with a Katana, and I would love to be able to duplicate some of the sounds you get, but I'll admit I have no idea how to dial this shit in like you do. Awesome stuff!

[@evilnudibranch]

Just a guy being a dude

[@Studio22mix]

This is great for waking up with a cup of coffee snoozing away into the void of non existence 🫧
