I dream of a bright future where we have a full album of Rabea just playing ambience improv.

[@chrisdaviesguitar]

and so say we all

[@rockstardr]

I'll buy it

[@LaLa-dh7bl]

I listen to asylum all the time.

[@lava_za]

That would be pure sex, however him and Mike Portnoy would be sweet for me.

[@richbriggs6053]

I was just thinking about this ❤️. Clint Lowery did some solo music during covid lockup. Just singing and guitar on Instagram, I keep hoping he will release it one day.

[@abunai.j]

Dude, your playing is so inspiringly beautiful. Every single time I hear you play, it just makes me want to pick up a guitar and play and play. Thank you for all the years of dope tone, great playing, and inspiration.

[@godofrainbows]

This is correct

[@wojti1721]

He is really Thomas Newman of guitar. Melancholy playing with hint of hope in it. Absolutely beautiful.

[@RabeaMassaad]

That’s one of the most awesome compliments I’ve had. Thomas Newman is a Huge inspiration for me. Thank you 🙏❤️

[@ultragroove1]

Great comment. I’m a huge Thomas Newman fan as well. 💯 nailed it. I don’t know how I just stumbled upon Rabea’s channel but glad I did. There’s a level of observable talent that’s unique & immediately engaging. He could easily be scoring A level films and absolutely should be performing & recording. Bea, you’re going places kid, keep it up and share your gift. A world of weary ears awaits & will be renewed the second you quicken those strings.

[@godofrainbows]

Wow, I really love that comparison. I didn’t think of it like that but I see where you’re coming from. They both make such colorful and rich music.

[@arcane3877]

I don't think I'll ever grow tired of listening to you on the Strat, I know it sounds a bit cliché but it really does feel to me that each jam you do on the Strat takes us to a different place and evokes a totally different atmosphere. Can't get enough of it.

[@johnnymossville]

I was thinking along the same lines. there is something special about Rabea with a Strat.

[@uncred]

I had a mark iic in the 90s.Nobody talks about how fantastic the clean tone was.

[@egsystems913]

Over the years, I have watched your playing go from very good, to great, to, quite honestly "masterful". I could happily put this on a loop, and just drift away. Don't ever stop.

[@minecraftS96]

They hire him for a publicity and the guy stands in front of a camera for 10 minutes without saying a word and playing the best improvisations that a human can do... Seriously, Rabea is out of this world, I pray for some day have albums of 10 hours. These Bea videos make you buy the entire Neural catalog everytime.

[@patrickprotzman2407]

Rabea- your ambient playing is second to none. You are so expressive and thoughtful, allowing tone and intonation tell the story in a way that few can accomplish. Like many of your fans, I would absolutely adore an EP/album of ambient/exploratory tracks. Maybe something you could do in collaboration with Neural to showcase their products. Throw in a couple guest appearances with other Neural artists and you'd have a real work of art on your hands!!

[@marko1701]

this is exactly what i was looking for. no talking, just playing with various pickup settings. 10/10. this is how it should be done. master class

[@Fallub]

That ambient playing in the beginning was really beautiful. Thank you

[@brandonproctor3639]

We all know what the IIC+ can do but man, those cleans and edge of breakup tones with the Strat are just amazing

[@bneum]

Always a lovely treat to hear you play. I hope some of these ideas carry on into your songwriting for future projects!

[@jefffelderman2409]

Dreamy, peaceful, great use of space and tone and letting the instrument breathe. It takes a lot more ability to do that than to toss out a million notes. At the same time, I know if you choose to play some rapid fire runs, you will do it with grace and meaning. Very talented you are.

[@puffybuns2311]

Wow the ambient sounds and your playing is out if the world

[@BAMac964]

I can always count on Rabea to give a masterful demo of Neural DSP plugins. Absolutely beautiful improv!

[@rockyrucker2789]

Coffee and listening to Bea riffing away to start the day 🤘 Absolutely legend!

[@marcandrenault1233]

So happy to hear from you Rabea. Killing it as always!

[@Michaeltucker999]

Your picking chord progression around the 1min mark is perfection sir. excellent stuff

[@oriongopro]

Great artists/guitarists are who can communicate feelings. You are one of the best really, with cleans, crunchy and high distorted the message is the same. No matter technique, speed ecc. Just the vibration, the touch of each strings. Compliments Mr. Massad

[@jamisonfrench]

Thank you for an actual demo and allowing the plugin to speak for itself! 🔥 👊 💯

[@checkitout611]

Your settings within this plugin were / are by far the best. Some really basic classic rock tones you came up with. Thanks!

[@Asyouwere]

00:57 just listening on a phone to your beautiful playing and got instant goosebumps ❤ Highly inspirational Bea!!

[@brutalslam8443]

You're playing is inspirational. I love it, it's just amazing. Tones were fantastic as well.

[@CFChristian]

Rabea, JFC. I lose track of about 3 hours every single time I try your latest settings. The ideas come flowing like crazy, and that doesn't happen anywhere else. Just wanted to share that whatever magic you're doing is incredibly inspirational.

[@jeffallen3382]

This sounds awesome! Great playing Rabea!

[@itsbrettalan]

Incredibly versatile! Bravo Rabea!

[@djodjchannel8212]

My gosh, you play so well. That's fire ! So good to hear. Love your style

[@PhiLikeFlying]

Out of all the presets in this new plugin yours are my favourite. Love the feel and tone.

[@tylermoore5659]

I bought the ultimate bundle of your tab book and I must say I’m blown away with everything. I’ve been learning silo and getting backing tracks help tremendously!! Thanks for being you bea!

[@RabeaMassaad]

Thank you so much! That’s awesome! I’m so glad you’re happy with the tabs!

[@andychild7632]

@@RabeaMassaad Any chance you might do a similar bundle for all the Toska stuff?

[@neildeakin4454]

@@RabeaMassaad Where can I buy this tab book?

@@RabeaMassaad pardon but.. what tabs are we talkin' about ?

[@RabeaMassaad]

@@IvanZupancic thanks haha, they’re available on my website - rabeamassaad.com

[@skoneloke]

Wow this sounds amazing! That second preset has got me drooling hahaha

[@nickx1754]

I clicked for the product and stayed for the music. Man, I love your sense of musical chill.

[@josephowens9053]

Simply phenomenal!

[@Peter-xr5gd]

I could listen to this all day!!!

[@GRAFHC]

Good lord these sound amazing. I'm not a huge plugin fan, but Neural really shines through with this latest one. Helps of course that you're easily one of the most talented guitar players on KZbin.

[@bulletsmichael]

Agreed. This latest one is another level imho

[@GabiLotcu]

I'm so glad that you made the demo to this Mesa King of tone. I don't need this but I will take in respect for Mesa, Neural and you of course. That last tone is insane. ❤️❤️❤️

[@Rcft1804]

Hey Bea, just wanted to say how much of an influence you are on me and my playing of the guitar. I met you back in 2015 when you toured the US with Rob and since even before that I’ve always come back to your videos and I’m always just blown away by your playing and creativity you have with the guitar.

[@petervansuijlekom2278]

Besides an interesting test of the the presets of this amazing plugin. Your playing is so inspiring and musical! Not only technique but making music in a very deep sense of the word. Thank you Rabea!

[@RabeaMassaad]

That means so much. Thank you :)

[@ChrisB-lt6hp]

DSP do knock these models out of the park, can’t think of anyone better to show case than you Rabea matey boy. The bite is so clear and definition superb.

[@alexjackson8841]

4:04 rabea writes the best riffs out of anyone on the internet and my mind will not change

[@anisavvides8116]

Sounding slick as always mate!❤ Really enjoying the Grinding gears backing tracks and tabs! Sooo much fun!!

[@DalbyMetalHead666]

That high gain tone would 100% fit in a modern setting. Amazing 👏

[@atmostringz2866]

these sounds have much more to say than any words. Love your Style Rabea 🎸

[@MrTroyBettis]

Absolutely inspirational playing and tone on this bro....could listen all day.

[@ultragroove1]

Beautiful composition and exceptional skills. Really enjoyed listening to this!

[@Diplomat440]

I've uttered the words "leave me alone I'm riffing" multiple times! Perfect!

[@wmxx2000]

Those cleans are beautiful

[@AndrasDavid-sf9ec]

Amazing sound and playing as always, the Karnivool hoodie just made it even more cool :)

[@pjmtry7]

Yay, More Rabea Studio Fun!

[@kevink.2773]

Those strat tones ❤‍🔥❤‍🔥

[@roryt1983]

9:38 when the progression hits just right

[@Chillhoof]

I gave Neural DSP a shot because I’ve never been 100% happy with my Line6 gear. Your presets sold me on the Mark IIc plugin. Just so much fun to play. 😊

[@david_farmer]

Dude that last jam at 8m24s to the end is gorgeous.

[@miguelangel_guitar]

The technology it's insane man, this sounds kickass!

[@arthurhermann_]

Wow, that level of fidelity was unthinkable years ago. Neural reaching new heights with this one. Also, outstanding play as usual.

[@fastfrankblack]

Yeah - I don’t think this is anything like what’s come before

[@miserychannel666]

it's very disappointing that it CANNOT be put into a Quad Cortex, so you can actually take it out and GIG with it.

[@danielbertola7868]

Loving the cleans and overdriven tones.

[@RogerBrenon]

Rabea's playing is always worth a listen but honestly this plugin sounds like everything else.

[@mrr4ven69]

Just humbled... Sitting, listerning, thankfull that there are great artists like you :)

[@keithmulcahy3417]

Always gets a killer sound and sweet playing as always

[@luisfernandoruiz]

Very nice sound!! Great demo!!! Thanks for shared!!!

[@msvapehead]

By far my favorite nueral dsp plug in.

[@yeserguitar]

For sure I'll check your presets first Bea :) Loved it, sounds awesome!

[@DB-me3jt]

Now that’s some beautiful strat playing 😊

[@liontribegc]

Cheers from Texas! Outstanding sounds! 🤟😺🤟

[@Catywampus_Kerfuffle]

I really like having this format of a product demo available.Brilliant move. I still appreciate the commentary ones as well. If you can manage both, maybe you can parlay that into double sponsorship perks. I'm all for that.

[@user-eo1rm3eb6c]

It has such a nice dry sound despite it being high gain, really clear and aggressive.

[@eman19857]

Heavenly tones my brother. As Always 🌨️

[@corrickkonie]

Wow!! I love the present POS 2 80's Vibes

[@Saf1ouane]

that was some beautiful playing man.

[@AhmedRadwanz]

Rabea, you are definitely in my top 5 best guitar players of all time. I love you man. The pieces starting at 5:05 and 8:25 are instant chills.

[@Terry_Dale]

Love your playing so much! So inspiring to listen to. Hope there is another Grinding Gears coming at some point. Heavy on the Ambient playing please - love this in your playing!

[@scottmiln3428]

Great as always man. Love the 'vool hoodie!

[@JoshFryer]

This play through could have been like an hour or more and I would've stayed for the whole thing! Great tones! Can't wait to get the plug!

[@TheGman720]

Fooking fantastic 👏. The amp sounds good too.

[@stargarnet9139]

8:29 those sounds bro...so good!!!

[@AurelienGivernaud]

Dang! That riff at 4:06, I'd love to hear that in a mix :O Great work as usual Rabea! Your playing really is inspiring

[@MrRockntube]

As with all Rabea videos, after 1 minute of his playing I don't really care what he is reviewing. I stay for his amazing playing. You know Rabea I recorded many pro guitar players when I used to be a sound engineer. You are defiantly one of best sounding and most inspirational guitar players I ever heard. Waiting for your new stuff to come out.

[@LifeRunner4000]

I aspire to someday possess just an ounce of the skill Rabea has, good god these improv videos are so good.

[@DannyBeardsley]

Tones are great….playing is superb! 👏

[@EricDoriean]

Awesome: Playing, Sounds and Karnivool top.

[@intheplanetzero4697]

Awesome play as always ❤

[@Ehrmann_Gregsson]

Holy mother of god that tone on 4:04 is the most tight thing I've ever heard. A MA ZING

[@TuuliMakinen]

That clean tone is really beautiful :)

[@Boomheyyou]

The intro you did was spot on man

[@alexz28usa12345]

You are a guitar God .the best is yet to come for you.

[@pgtresyboy]

Music from Rimworld I can imagine being played by Rabea. totally agree we need more of this music, computer games with Rabea ambience music all of it

[@Boomheyyou]

Bea you are so good words can’t explain I love your playing and tone

[@iryan9]

Rabea your strat tone is always fire

[@John_Hajjar_]

Deadman Karnivool at 9:00 love it!

[@michelarnet8535]

Great playing, and great sweater!

[@michelarnet8535]

Talking looks, you might be a good replacement for Robert Smith in The Cure ;-)

[@riccardob.5224]

No words mate... really big! You and NDSP both

I could listen to you play all day long man.

[@johnm.4655]

8:06 Ok, I'm stealing that lick for sure! Hahaha! Very "Nuno". AWESOME!👍🙂

[@marianoboetto]

I love the fact it has a lot of push pull controls so you can fine-tuning your sound

[@connorbutler5900]

Love the noodle at the beginning. I kept hearing hints of Little Wing/Slow Dancing in a Burning Room. I also bought that hoodie from their recent gig in Manchester. Might've been the best show I've ever seen.

[@RabeaMassaad]

Hahah I wanted to reference that just to show the plugin can get those tones hah. And yes. I saw them in London. It was the most incredible night I think I’ve had in many years. Insanely good

[@maoa-cdh1389]

this is adorable!

[@maxbackingtrack]

The sound is beautiful 🍻🍻🍻

[@aacgoudie3642]

Absolutely beautiful display. The plugin wasn't bad either.

[@dingalsbe88]

it sounds GREAT.
