[@HoracioGarciaMusic]

I'm going to rip the audio from this and listen to it on repeat! holy crap that was amazing

[@benjaminthomas8931]

Rabea Massaad You deserve all the praise you're getting. I was so excited when I saw this video!

[@Risk82]

Chris Yoder that is a very good idea. i will tell my Band. best stuff comes when just improvising and jamming.

[@MStriewski]

I appreciate the rig info, but I really want to know about that Darkglass branded cab that Dave is using!

[@dvdpz89]

What camera and lens were used???

[@guibanana]

who knew from the first second that was a strat making that sound? :D

[@althejazzman]

Yeah obvs

[@misterp10]

I was kind of hoping it was his Rita relic he used in the previous jam since it was the first time i heard them play this kind of epic jamming style.

[@ShoreyJr]

He sold Rita a while back :(

[@sailingwhisper149]

I knew instantly it was a strat neck pickup, the neck pickup with a british crunch and a bit of tube screamer is one of my favorite tones of all time

[@misterp10]

He did?!?

[@robertfrippers]

Rabeas got riffs for days

[@JS-jo3wj]

Seriously! His shreds are always so tasteful too! Not wanky useless noise

[@BennyCornelissen]

"Oh hi, we jammed a little" -> still sounds tons better than what most bands put on records. I'd pay for an album filled with 'we were just having a jam' things from you guys.. especially with that Strat tone :O

[@Stratomacaster]

Jeezus... and that was just a jam session. Our jam sessions sound like beginners 8th grade band practice in comparison. Holy crap that was absolutely stellar. Put that one up on iTunes.

[@-salley879]

Stratomacaster HEY as an 8th grader who jams with my "band" weekly I am offended

[@Jusvidz]

As a person who is regularly offended, I am an eighth grader.

[@-salley879]

Capten lmao nice one

[@Jusvidz]

ye dude you love it

[@NoahPageReviews]

im in 8th grade and my jam sessions TOTALLY sound like this

[@xcrow0]

I know y'all do Dorje and Toska... but guys y'all got something here. This was amazing.

[@warpstar0]

...Brother?

[@hazenstribling2646]

bwahahhahahaha

[@DomSchu]

My favorite thing as a musician. Just jamming and making magical moments as a band. Even better when you're actually able to record those moments like this. I can listen to improvised music like this indefinitely.

[@Risk82]

DomSchu yes, i totally agree.

[@sneiden4300]

DomSchu Amen

[@LostMyMojo100]

Agreed! I miss it.....

[@rhebbhulett]

When I look back at my favorite memories in life, many of them are these moments. Just grooving with friends, and just fuckin nailing it for a period of time. Getting done and being like, “Welp, should have recorded that, cuz we’ll never remember the licks.”

[@Claimjumper55]

That was HUGE and incredible. I could listen to this stuff for hours, or at least for a full CD (hint, hint).

[@JJYacco]

This is absolutely INCREDIBLE

[@Jakestauch]

This Should happen once a week

[@TheOneVictor]

Agnaralator Agreed, this is just awesome to hear and watch, especially from the perspective of someone who's in a band.

[@RenanBeltrao]

this shoudl happen once a week, in case someone did not understand.

[@brandonjackson4623]

Agnaralator honestly if I knew how to mix like this I'd do it

[@yopglomusic8872]

Agnaralator This should happen 7 times a week.

[@Alterwill]

Now thats a great idea!

[@digiscream]

6:53 - Smooth move, Ben. Smooth.

[@DavidMcmenemy]

Nah m8. It's all about 10:10

[@JLAnderson_Music]

Dave with that old school Peavy Bass

[@lmcf_gtr]

And the sustainiac 😂

[@williamchasse1981]

Justin Anderson what is a sustainiac?

[@jackattack8044]

william chassé a magnetic system built into the electronics that provide unlimited sustain and harmonic feed back. haven't seen one in a bass tho, that's cool.

[@lmcf_gtr]

MrTaterWedges basically what he said, with two modes either echoing that one note or providing a harmonically similar note if it. Synester Gates uses one in his solos a lot, you'll usually hear it when a note goes into feedback quite I quickly.

[@williamchasse1981]

thanks

[@bushibayushi]

By the way - please play strat! You just sound the best with a strat. Great job everyone, I loved the varied dynamics of the rhythm section. 10/10

[@heavyhauler426]

bushibayushi switch the Lil 59 on the ML-1 Pro with a true single coil

[@dash4786]

My God coming back to this 5 years later this is an unbelievable organic jam session captured on film. The drummer completely cooling down the song and then intensifying it is amazing. The control in that is just mental.

[@adammartin3675]

That was fucking incredible. Chemistry between you is off the charts.

[@trollfiddler]

Strat fits so well with your overall sound.

[@devonreally3966]

It doesn't get much better than this. Great licks, great drumming, great bass, really really like this. Drums sound great, guitar tone great, bass great Guess what I think this is GREAT

[@martyjaay]

Dear God that was beautiful! I've watched that 15 minute jam video about 200 hundred times. This is very welcome haha

[@miamoon1]

Virtuosity by the ton. Olympic gold jammin.

[@mikemikemike701]

Sounds awesome!!! Lemmy is smiling down from above, approves of the drummers shorts!

[@markdilley3918]

I literally just finished watching their "15 minute jam" video now this pops up! Man today is a good day! Will there be a glasses throw this time, let's wait and see!

[@chriscollins50]

CAn't believe this is 3 years old now. Been watching it at least once a month since it was posted!

[@hotblackdesiato3451]

I've played guitar for decades and heard many jams and I can safely say, that was epic. Kudos, gents, kudos.

[@skullcrusherwillpay]

Yeah, but you do it big. Sun, ship, slam. Really loud noises and bad sunburn.

[@hotblackdesiato3451]

@@skullcrusherwillpay I aim to please.

[@Kinderman674]

Binning the dreads was a great move by dave, looking good

[@Babs42]

I liked the Dave dreads. What's next Bea w/ no fro?!? I can't take much more! ;)

[@richardharrold9736]

Bea's hairline is receding... eventually, the fro may go!

[@RabeaMassaad]

Richard Harrold Hahahah well... I think the fro will be around for many more years before that happens. My hairline has probably receded about as much as can be expected for someone my age. Everybody's hairline moves back with age!

[@richardharrold9736]

Ha, maybe, I guess I'm lucky in that my family don't seem to suffer hair loss at all. My dad's just turned 60 and still has the same thatch of natural brown hair he had at 20. Lee Anderton doesn't seem to have lost any hair either, he still looks exactly the same as he did a decade ago - and of course there's Mr Bouffant himself, Mick Taylor! Danish Pete is totally ageless too...

[@DannyJamesGuitar]

Do Jimi and Rabea know something about afros that we don't?!?

[@tommeakin1732]

Plot twist: Afro's don't actually exist. They're just a ruse to hide the giant brain extension which is purely dedicated to music

[@thebear1441]

Danny James Afros' and Strats'

[@hendrikkarm6921]

If u consider dimebag ,slash,rabea and jimi as a super guitar team then it makes sense.Big hair ftw.

[@FrutigTube]

Hi Bea - I'm a 55years old guy from germany starting again with guitar after 20 years or so - I'm lightyears away from your talent - but you are a great inspiration. You three must stay together - your are "one" :-)

[@esanch77]

I continuously find myself returning to this video. I could listen to jams like this for days!

[@Bennettcustomaudio]

I've always been fascinated by drummers, its so interesting to me to watch a proficient drummer navigate the kit. Ben hits the hi hat with his left hand, which has always been an instinct of mine (presumably because i'm left handed!). Perhaps i'll stop fighting that instinct and hit the hi at with my left hand as it feels comfortable! love the jam guys, groovy as all hell. That strat sounds amazing Bea!

[@Boot2yourHead]

The perfect blend. I had this connected to the stereo in my shop and all the guys wanted to know who you were. I'm bringing them to the dark side, and loving it.

[@Rolandogsd]

You should ALWAYS play a Strat

[@ethanscott4730]

One of the most cohesive build ups I've EVER heard!! Fantastic!

[@teaboyuk]

an amazing jam session, the dynamics were just superb.I loved the funk rock also the ambient sections which sounded like some of the verve or the Floyd.

[@thepartimemusician65]

Great jam guys. Rabea,so great to hear your emotion shining through on the strat using an overdriven tone.Beautiful flowing runs.Great job :)

[@joefalconi10]

Loved it! That shouldn't just be a jam. Put it on an album as an instruMENTAL.

[@cheeseontheburger]

You guys should release a whole album of just jams like this. Because this is god-sent.

[@theodurand4518]

Rabea Massaad that name as you can't forget because it's one of greatest guitar player on the 21 century!! Huge respect. I do love see you in France ;)

[@bobbob-mq9nu]

good sh!t started out Vaughn then went Pink floyd

[@Little960]

I was going to say the same thing. Awsome

[@mwcalder95]

With a little bit of 'Achtung Baby' U2 in there as well

[@SuperEdge67]

I would say there’s a bit of Frusciante in there too.

[@GitShiddy]

That was so good I think I'm pregnant. ;-)

[@trevordavis7983]

the fact that his jams are absolutely FLAWLESS, no mistakes, literally smooth throughout, is mind boggling.

[@darktelf]

Holy shit......why can't I hit the 'like' button a million times. Rabea you have so many different styles in your locker it's unreal. Kudos to Ben and Dave too 👍🏻👍🏻

[@dirtswimmer]

groovyest and bluesiest fuckers in the entire uk! i just had my mind blown guys great jam!

[@JAFOpty]

AMAZING!!!! MORE MORE MORE!!!

[@DavidWykofka]

Rabea, you are 1 microphone away from becoming SRV. Dave & Ben, you guys are just killing this groove. I tried to stop tapping my foot a couple of times and couldn't do it.

[@johnkalli7654]

These jam vids are some of my favorite. They really show the skill and talent that the three of you possess. Thanks for making these public for everyone to enjoy!

[@billrand4138]

i know its personal taste but that was 100 times better than any Dorje tune ;)

[@user-pi2xl4jw3e]

well, now i really wanna put a sustainiac in my bass

[@DavidBreckheimer]

Rabea on a Strat is my favorite Rabea.... Just soooo good!

[@zacmcleod6916]

I'm still watching this every day 😂 I can't get over that wild section of the solo between 7:50 and 8:10, I sit in my room every day trying to re-create that. Then I cry. 😭

[@gussywells5701]

AWESOME This the style you guys need to stick with!!

[@mattirving4164]

Make this a series

[@SherabRabzyorYolmo]

This is awesome. Rabea is a total riff monster. And the chemistry between you guys is amazing. These jam sessions should definitely become a weekly feature.

[@djodjchannel8212]

Holly Sh*t ! Even 4 years after, this jam is dope. Sooooo gooood !!!

[@jeremy7818]

Liking the TOSKA sound these days...!

[@arlinwright1819]

I would love to hear you guys do a desert stoner rock jam with fuzz to blow our minds.

[@danielgallagher8713]

Oh my god. Just yes.

[@KenithCopeland]

YEEEESSSSS

[@asmallfarmhomestead3657]

Rabea's use of chords for solos is astounding

[@ellissworld]

This is my new favorite video on the internet, no contest. These guys traverse easily through almost every genre WITHOUT EVEN REHEARSING! How does that even work?

[@tommeakin1732]

Man I fucking love you guys. This is way too good to have just been a jam; this is like a fully composed piece of art. The way Bea goes from these beautiful ambient runs into fully fledged erection-inspiring solo's...Dave's fat (dare I say...Phat) tone which I damn well love...and then the camera pans to Ben and he's like *"AAAAAAHHH I LOOOOOVE THIIIIS"* as he smashes the shit out of his drum kit (seriously love his energy)

[@kieroncaton6334]

Please realise this as some sort of downloadable thing! This and the jam u did ages ago r like my drive music but can't play them off KZbin

[@fasfdjifndjugbh3746]

You can always just rip them off youtube

[@model_number_band]

Sweet, never a dull moment - well done!! People should pay special attention to how carefully the 3 of them listen to each other.... They've been playing together for many years, and they still LISTEN.. A key ingredient to successful music, especially with jams.

[@craigparse1439]

The thing that stood out to me right away was the cool muted sound of Ben's snare! It makes it sound massive and tight. Love the jam! Bea is amazing and Dave has some of the best bass chops (musically) in the biz. Gotta get more Toska.

[@guitarsimon1]

Potential bonus track for the next Toska album...!? :D

[@guitarsimon1]

Or EP, whatevs!! :P

[@patrickjaroch5084]

Man dave looks so different , how many times did he nearly get whip lash from trning his head to qickly withot the dreds weighing him down

[@shawnmichaelkho5113]

I love how at 8:34 the camera pans from Dave being all chill on the bass to Ben going bonkers on the drums

[@jmartin67]

One of the vids that actually deserves the "10 HOURS OF" treatment....... Thanks to KZbin, faith in new music has been restored. So many great bands out there when you turn off the radio and search for it on your own.

[@cptnspicywiener]

Dave

[@hiyeja]

PLEASE teach us that intro riff !

[@vincentbull]

absolutely outstanding......this needs to be released

[@Kennykoo65]

I swear when Rabea reaches for a guitar the fretboard must say quietly under its breath “crap not this guy again”. Rabea thrashes the fretboard end to end. There is no dusty end. Playing is so creative and brutal yet powerfully beautiful.

[@frigeratorz]

Coincidentally Reverb puts out a handful of Pink Floyd-related videos.

[@C0nnie]

hey rabea, are there any particular scales you would recommend to learn and keep 'in the toolbox?' you seem to go all over the place, but again, it could be just me being unfamiliar

[@brendanramsey8311]

C0nnie Just learn everything you possibly can, and then play for a long time. Teach your ears to make nice music, teach your mind to learn nice music very quickly.

[@connoragnewmusic]

Just know all your scales in all their different positions - learning all the modal shapes helps a lot

[@dimedroppin]

Wow guys. I'm a new guitar player. 3 months in. And sometimes I get really frustrated. But Rabea, you are an inspiration. Your work seems to keep me going and drives me to continue learning. Artists like Mark Knopler, David Gilmore, and Rabea, just make me want to play more.

[@maham593]

One of the best jams I've ever heard guys... mad skills all round

[@HairlessMonk]

Oh my fuck 3:00 was filthy.

[@danielhealy2524]

Will toska ever come to Emerald Isle.

[@marc_1992]

this is beyond amazing....please record more of these!!!

[@rdb9936]

Something about Bea with a Strat - it seems to unlock his inner lick beast! Please do more of this funk stuff - absolutely amazing! Must have watched the 15 min jam with Rita >20 times! World class performance chaps!

[@lmcf_gtr]

Bass? With a sustainiac? Never seen that before 😂

[@MartinsProjektarbete]

One Word.... Phenomenal.

[@Jeff-sk4rn]

Just Killer! Inspirational too! Also, I just received my Toska OTTA live album Bluray and t-shirt! Top Notch guys. 5-stars!

[@mikefearon3577]

This is what happens when 3 musicians who really understand their instruments and each other together and let the music flow. I need this as a track, particularly the latter section.

[@josequibaoneto4586]

Great sound! This Fender is a dream. Amazing musicians, incredible vibe. Tks for that.

[@davesnow1179]

Can listen to this all day... So good!!!

[@PhappingCamel]

I can not remember the last time I had goosebumps for 10 minutes straight. And it wasn't just "This is nice" it was "Holy shit balls, this KEEPS getting BETTER!!!!" as the bumps get bigger. And mad props to Ben for timing those changes so perfectly, you can really tell you 3 have known each other for a long time! I hope to hear a lot more of this!

[@imgonnagetbanned]

This was AWESOME!! I had forgotten Dave chopped his hair off, so I got very confused for the first few minutes as to who was on bass LOL. I am definitely in the camp of making this a weekly thing guys, ROCK ON!!

[@benodaboy]

I'm not a huge metal fan so I do really listen to much Toska or Dorje but this is could listen to all day. Fantastic playing all three of you guys. Man I love this chanel!!! There have been a number of landmark records that have really touched me deeply. The Cliffs of Dover by the fantastic EJ was one. Layla live in San Diego by Clapton and tedashi Trucks and Comfortablely numb by David Gilmore live at Pompey are others This is now added to my list. Simply amazing.

[@noseyparker6622]

Its not until you see something like this that you realise just how insanely good Rabea is.

[@jasoncrump1886]

I could listen to yall jam all day man. Do more of these vids please.

[@alkyhauler8185]

You guys build TENSION like a boss

[@stmierden]

That must be the best strat sound I've ever heard! No wonder they're such a staple within (rock) music.

[@tjthompson4177]

All three of you are GREAT musicians. Love it

[@lilsponge777]

Yes please!!!! We'll have some more of this. Love it Bea and Crew!! Some solid stuff in there!!

[@shleprockshleprock]

That's my fav kind of Rabea and band music!

[@shaney8275]

First; as much guitar music as I listen to, I can't believe I'm just now finding this. This is incredibly good stuff, and like many of the other commenters, I would by an album of this kind of stuff right now. This is some of the best music I've heard in awhile. Top notch jams. Looking forward to searching out more of this band. Friggin' excellent. All the players absolutely kickin'.

[@randverserence690]

Cheers for that mate. Glad everything panned out on those fronts. Super happy your mom is doing better. Will keep sending the good vibes. Take care of yourself

[@zoluca4339]

Ok, that's raw, unedited and pure art. Great gob, guys.

[@ERWebster]

I know it's been said so many times over the past year and a half, but that was absolutely magical.

[@Pentatonic_Hardcore]

Listen again and again during my work. Guys you are awesome.

[@grahampurvis5160]

Bloody wonderful!Hope you put up more of this.

[@cgavin1]

So much fun! Thanks for making Saturday morning even more awesome.

[@ronmiller9881]

Need more, please. And thanks for the ride!!! 🎸🍺
