Do some Vower rig rundowns & on-the-road/behind-the-scenes Vlogs

[@zacharysmithingell5460]

Yes!!

[@tarkenton3895]

Basically all Neural DSP QC but patch breakdowns would be sick

[@claytongouin5605]

After all these years, I think you've nailed down a core base of people who want to see you videos, listen to your music, and support your work. I'd say don't stress about upload schedules. Do what you want, when you want, and I'm sure most of us will be here for it. But, if you're looking for ideas, it's always cool seeing the mix breakdowns, but also more of the process of writing and recording songs, how to dial in good tones in the studio to fit the mix, and stuff like that.

[@DavidHunterChunkyRiffs]

I'd say don't worry about having a regular upload schedule. Just keep doing what you're doing, it's awesome 🤘 Massive congrats on supporting Karnivool. We're aware of how much you love them, it must have been a blast

[@gibek2600]

Would love to see vower touring europe

[@andrewichigo]

Checking in after a few years not doing so and I see Bea with a new band, new signature guitars, opening for Karnivool.... damn time flies

[@Lobrac98]

I would love to see you do more ambient/moody tracks, maybe even an ambient album! Your ambient stuff inspires me to keep exploring the guitar!

[@SamBrockmann]

It's amazing that you're supporting Karnivool.

[@katapulte_en_vadrouille]

I'd love to see more about Hannah & you, I miss your duo. 🖤

[@yippy327]

I, personally appreciate anything you share with us. You are such a decent human, and I always wish you all the best. Peace

[@Chris_Nouvelli]

I’d like a specific video detailing how the process is going creating the Sterling version of your Artist Sabre 🤭🤭 Love your work, Bea. Like many people here, I feel like I’ve been here since the beginning and have loved watching your journey. Hoping to buy a Kraken preamp pedal soon 🤞

[@Chris_Nouvelli]

Shit me, I posted that comment before the final 60 seconds of the wrap-up 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ - great news that it’s already in the works!!

[@riccardominuto]

Pleeeease make something about riffs and songwriting, like a serie where you try to wwrite a little tune on the spot and show the thought process, what gets you inspired and then carry on with an idea... would be pure gold. You're the best mate, congrats on every bit of success, it's absolutely deserved.

[@commandohornet2295]

Really quick, that Vower snare sound is incredible x

[@paulspinella]

You are doing Awesome work Bea! Your true fan's will always love anything you do!!!!

[@brokenhome288]

I would love to see some videos going over some of your song riffs. How about a deep dive on “Less We Know”? That song rocks.

[@mumblingproductions8082]

Obsessed with Shroud!! Looking forward to more Vower ❤

[@syntheticsun]

Hey man! Glad you made an update, been admiring your work from Colorado. Love what you are doing, your tones, your playing.. only you know how hard you worked to get where you are. The countless hours... Keep up the great work! If Tim Pierce mentions you on his show as one of the best up and coming talents you must be doing something right! Cheers!

[@yazallen8878]

I think a lot of us would enjoy watching you write songs from scratch. If you could capture that for us in some way, I'm sure we'd all be deeply grateful. In any case, we love you Rabea! And thanks for giving us so much to enjoy!

[@chaselawrencemusic]

Going to love watching Vower grow over time! You guys are seriously talented and special! For a video idea I would love to see you in your element creating a song in real time. Yeah I know it's not too realistic since creating a song can take days, weeks, etc. to finish. But maybe like a timed challenge and see what comes out of it?

[@jegl1012]

Glad to see things are looking up for you. Keep on keeping on!

[@RedbackRecordz]

Just keep doing what you’re already doin mate! We all love whatever you share! It’s inspirational in so many different ways! Thank you for sharing your talents 🤘🤘

[@jordyskate1995]

Hi Bea, i just want to say that it flatters you not over trying to be a "youtuber" just keep doing what you are doing and it will be just fine! Just enjoy the moments with the band and family and friends, automatically inspiration for new ideas will come. I was hoping to see you at Grasspop but maybe i will travel to Bristol to see you again at ATG. 🤘♥️ CHEERS

[@emmcc3442]

Would like to see more videos about pedals, amps, QC, ambient tones, riffs all with your unique style of playing 🔥

[@sammerryweather5053]

I'd love to see the mix sessions for the new Vower tracks - it sounds awesome and it'd be great to see some of what's going to achieve that!

[@peted450]

More vlogs, the Japan video was cool.

[@khay2210]

Don't stress it buddy, I love your stuff man, your music and lifestyle just clicks with me. But tbh more QC content once in a while would also be great.

[@owendavies4411]

Love all the content mate, the mixing videos are top tier !

[@PureJadeKid]

Keep the focus on quality. You are on the right track. I would love more Rabea solo music. Keep collaborating with other artists too.

[@Sparkythehedgehog11]

It’s always fun seeing that you’ve uploaded a video after not seeing you for a little bit. It makes those uploads that much sweeter! So IMO it’s best that you focus on the things that are good for your SOUL in between all your awesome projects. That way the videos will be the best they can be, and you’ll be in the best head space possible. You and Rob Chapman are my favorite YT guitarists and I’ve loved watching y’all and your journeys over the years. Keep on absolutely killing it, and God bless you!

[@bigchrisgulley66]

Just keep doing what you do bro! Because you Rock!

[@joseeduardoperezmellado905]

Approach to songwriting is always the best content in your channel, love to see more of that

[@xAD21x]

Make a lot of demos. Love them! ❤️ And congratulations on Karnivool gig, so cool 😎

[@user-vk2yd3vo6w]

whatever keeps you healthy is most important

[@TheOut1awTorn]

Hi Rabea As far as content - I’d love to see something regarding using the QC in a live setting - from dialling in settings to suit the room, using cabs on stage, to power amplifiers and the best ways someone with your experience has found to use them. I think there is definitely a lot of QC users who would really benefit from understanding setup and use of the QC in a live capacity. I’ve always enjoyed your videos, so thanks for doing you.

[@lonnymead8976]

Brother just be you! You are inspiring a whole lot of people sharing your journey and being one of the most humble human beings on the planet. All your success is well deserved. Personally, I love all your content and look forward to every post whether your playing, sharing adventures, updates on your projects doesn’t matter. Your music and videos get me through the weeks at work, and push me to work harder on my dreams after work. Would love to hang out, let me know if you come to Texas… Thanks for what you do big daddy

[@jeremyfiorito3594]

sincerely, you can make any video I'll watch them because you're my favorite guitarist and vower is my new favorite band with only two songs

[@natenobrakes6292]

Just do what floats your boat at the time. I just enjoy seeing your music journey take off.

[@blainetrain2299]

You're are a damn good mixer and producer. I would LOVE to see a "how to produce a song" video or series.

[@darrinheike1495]

Riff lessons/tutorials and application would be epic.

[@wjveryzer7985]

still waiting for that song while we wait!!

[@SkylerMills]

Rad update, A video on the topic of traveling with gear, airlines, and flying with an IEM rig :)

[@Hairyloft]

Congrats on everything Vower, karnivool support😮, guitars, just all so deserved. Nice one.

[@liamfellows3905]

Would love to see you do a video on how you sit down and get a new song going , intrigues me how your process works and how you get full songs out off a riff

[@Ebb1337]

Hi Bea, so excited to see Vower at ATG! Content idea, Dean Lamb from Archspire did a series where he attempted to learn a few different songs, I really enjoyed those, would be interesting to see how you learn songs and play fat riffs.

[@michaelgreiner1665]

I loved the vlog. Would welcome more volts from your journeys or from vowers!

[@Ne0nBlaqk]

I picked up one of the Sabres from Sweetwater and it has been the only guitar that I have picked up since! Absolutely smashing guitar!

[@Cpmnk]

Absolutely love shroud. I can't wait for the new song.

[@EpicStuffMan1000]

if i'd known vower was supporting vool i would have made the journey down south to see it. so cool

[@UberGuitarDude]

Would love to see you dabble over in the music streams of Twitch! Super lowkey and great for live interactions. Congrats on all the success dude! You deserve it.

[@drichcymru]

Christmas came early when I realised you were supporting Karnivool the night before the Brighton gig. Having travelled from South Wales it was already a special one for me not having seen them before so to get Vower too was epic. You all smashed it out the park. I was chatting to a few people who spotted my brand spanking new Vower t-shirt (shout out to the dude wearing the Dorje hoodie and his bandmate if your watching) and we all commented how tight the banded sounded but then we shouldnt be suprised given you've all played with awesome sounding bands in the past. I'll be avoiding temptation to listen to the new release on Monday while i'm working for home so my first listen will be the premiere, can't wait!

[@slash196]

In terms of content, hands-down one of my favorite things you do is the songs for Neural DSP plugin launches. They're always such damn bangers.

[@riggin4587]

I just found out about Vower from Metal birb and I gotta say, damn, I wish you guys could've opened for Karnivool on the Australian leg of their tour! Would've loved to see you guys!

[@sigurdthemusicdude]

Could be really interesting to see you try and “nail” a certain album tone. With the gear you already got.

[@thunderbirdcalls]

You just need to do what you need/want to do. That's all. Vower's been amazing, still digging through your library, but would like more of your classic rock/hard rock side on videos. Other than that, and I know it's been done, but would love for you to take a long hard look at gain staging through distortion, drive, and fuzz pedals. Just make it relatively loose with variety of pedals at a variety of price points and have fun. (Maybe get at least a DS-1 or SD-1 in there as an option and that Tone City Bea Distortion pedal. My need is that you break out the Fatbee and the Riverside once again, lol.) Super stoked about the Sterling release and I hope for an flow in content creation, but understand the ebb. Thanks for the heads up on lots of products and for the content in general. Love the tones, talks, and tunes!

[@evanwood1752]

Hey Bea! Love that Vower is doing so well of the cuff. It's Awesome! Can you make some videos about mixing guitars and recording on a budget? Also do some videos talking about how you write instrumental guitar pieces?

[@indytrucks2003]

Habusaki! Man I miss living in Japan.

[@Dienex]

Came down to Brighton for the show, what a night!

[@franciscocisneros5695]

Since Riff wars 3 to where you’re now it’s nothing but well deserved. Talent, of course. You’re in my top 3 guitar heroes next to Tremonti and Hetfield. But your work ethic is amazing, because you’ve always being you. Only looking greater things in the future. Cheers!!

[@KRayxKodessA]

I'd love to see a video where you explore your favorite dropped tuning chord voicings.

[@ianmansfield1112]

I have enjoyed your music for a long time now - It is very happy-making to see you doing so well. Do me a favour and show us your routine with fast fret? I've had a tin in my case for ages and never used it. Thank you.

[@nmcgregor1990]

Great update! Always great to see what you've been upto ❤ I think one thing I'd like to see is how you're wiring up your studio. What racks, computer, interface etc. You are using ❤

[@Slyness64209]

One thing I'd absolutely LOVE to see is you doing a full Dark Souls 1 playthrough, I know it's going in the opposite direction of you wanting to write more music but I've seen you talk so passionately about these games and name all your signature guitars after them so as a fellow DS fan it would be amazing to see you play it :D Also, extremely excited to hear your solo stuff! I've been a fan of Toska, and your Grinding Gears albums since they exist basically lol (especially Vol2, it has a special vibe), First Kontact and We Are Here are 2 of my favorite instrumental songs ever! And I appreciate Vower too but it's not exactly the type of stuff I personally like the most, but I'm very excited for the album still, and even more excited about your solo EP! Keep being so genuine and authentic, you're the best!

[@andrewbecker3700]

Glad I watched till the end. Almost missed the whole point. I'll be looking over my PRS SE NF3 with an extra close eye on Tuesday. Now that I know the Sterling Bea sigs. are coming soon. It will definitely effect my scrutiny, and make me wanna find something wrong with it. Only bummer is, the Bea Sterling will almost certainly be close to $1500 US. Double the NF3 price.

[@tomjacklin7421]

Rabea, your content is and always had been fantastic. Been watching for a long time 😊 for content is there any chance to do some in depth nuno stuff. I always loved that side of your playing. Cheers

[@lewissteen7514]

I love your mixing videos. Would be absolutely amazing to see you make a quick demo track from the very beginning. Like literally from plugging in your guitar and putting an amp sim on a mixer channel and recording the guitars/bass etc and then drums and mixing it from there. Could just be a minute long song. Would be good to get your thoughts on how you go from it going from your fingers/hands into the DAW and mixed and mastered. As a personal preference, something similar to your Archetype Tom Morello sound would be great to see! (that vid is highly underrated!)

[@Ed-rg4do]

Joining Josh from Palm Reader was the best decision you ever made. Honor him. Honor the memory of palm reader. That means youtube might have to take a back seat sometimes. Making some sick music. Propper songs. PS Boycott Download /Barclays

[@naganud]

Live songwriting streams would be awesome :)

[@wanderergrim]

Saw and listened Karnivool for the first time at Download this year so good, felt like I should have been listening to them for years.

[@JManners10]

Id give anything to hear them for the first time again, youre lucky!!

[@john_sandilau]

I'd really like if you could use the quad cortex some more because you have some of the best tones there are and since you are gaining them through an analog or hybrid setup, I really like you to use the quad cortex more often and maybe upload some more captures of your kraken mkii and other pedals with your unique settings! Cheers!

[@benjaminblanck7662]

One thing that could be cool is talking about the writing process for vower. I think that would be interesting and informational. Breaking down guitar parts and such.

[@dalby92]

Video ideas -lets see your vower board and the various patches. -sit down and write a song explaining your creative process -more colabs -more vlogs around gigging with frog leap/vower -

[@jasoncasey-eggleton4327]

could we hear a song with hannah as well?

[@FatalizedGuitar]

A really cool idea would maybe be take a favourite solo of yours (of which there will be many and that’s the point) make a video learning it, teaching it, breaking it down, give your opinion what it means to you and stories about it etc. Do guitar lessons? Use th synth part of your plugin and make some cool stuff, I do that I love the synth but of your plugin.

[@Mondfall]

I would love to see vower guitar recording and/or vower song writing sessions.

[@HLBmusix]

I really just want to see you play and hear new stuff. Please release the vower songs and whenever new gear comes out, I’d love to hear more grinding gears stuff

[@sirkenzington8825]

hoping for a left-handed version of the Sterling!

[@martinbohnsack-ro9571]

Yeah, Sound Awake is one of my favorites, too. So, if you dig Karnivool - have you ever heared the eidolon album by Rishloo? That one is pretty dope, too

[@INDAmedia]

Yeah, new track tomorrow :)

[@fraenkiboii]

08:12 I just recently bought a guitar lead with a Neutrik silent plug which was straight up broken when I got it. Went as far as to contact the Neutrik support, they said it's broken. That REED contact inside of it was faulty. I still like them tho regardless of that one incident.

[@harshtruth9148]

I'd like to see you come to my country USA, preferably NJ, and tour with your band or by yourself with your music..

[@thomasbuchanan6235]

I would love how to with tab videos of your new music but also toska

[@spinaltap22]

As soon as I saw 'Supporting Karnivool', I went straight to finding when and where the next gig is. It was last week :(

[@sebfly8505]

Hi Rabea, I love your music and your guitar player's feeling !! I'd like to know how you go about creating a riff for a new song ? Thanks you so much for inspiring us as musicians.

[@ellleigh1216]

Some writing videos would be cool. now you're in a band, how writing works with a band etc.

[@KOMATITE-qz5vz]

you should stream some souls games too mate if your up for something different, id be there for that, as well as everything else. Love everything your doing mate keep it up!

[@amoincof]

I take it this video was recorded before Lufthansa lost your guitars? Sorry to hear about that by the way. I hope none of the ones you lost were one offs, and I take it they were insured? Thanks for the update. Looking forward to hearing more vower. And any type of music related video you put out on YT.

[@JamesTolias]

Make a video of mixing clean guitar and mastering with the vocals if you can ❤️

[@kasperthe1788]

Any plans to release a tab book for grinding gears vol 4?

[@CoolPabloDeTodo]

I did not undersand , Can we expect a Sterling by Music Man Sabre Bea ?

[@valendis]

Damn tough crowd before karnivool! 😅

[@Whydyoucare]

Will you make a video about the in-ear rig for Vower? I'd be interested

[@kiko2129]

i so wish the sterling saber will have a baritone model

[@danielschafhautle1691]

Idea for the stream I'd love to see you do something simmilar as Nick Bromhall. Come Up with a riff/mini song on stream. Just silly stuff

[@perjohansson2852]

I would love to by your signature guitar but sadly there is no one to buy here in Europe.

[@CoolPabloDeTodo]

When can we expect a Starling version of your guitar ?

[@CoolPabloDeTodo]

sorrry I did not listening to the end ..... its on the way .... :)

[@dongonzulman6478]

When's the Shadow of the Erdtree livestream? ;)

[@jasoncasey-eggleton4327]

could we see how your in ear rig is wired up and set up?

[@theextremeloader1]

karnivool crowd weren't into screaming it seems haha

[@axrip1]

just turn the camera on when you record music. More grinding gears

[@bbellomusic]

Can you work on getting EBMM to make your guitar in lefty? I don’t understand why they hate us so much since Brian Ball is a lefty himself.

[@gonzoe123]

Any more Toska?
