Man. Your ambient playing is stunning. Combined with your seemingly effortless progressive metal playing and it is one of my favorite sounds in all of music.

@darioxrl8 Месяц назад

Agree

@ElShogoso 9 месяцев назад

Ambient playing like this has got to be *the best* way to enjoy guitar alone in the bedroom with the lights off.

@tombedford7493 10 месяцев назад

This kind of instruction is refreshing and helpful. For many of us due to our professional lives, we don’t have the time to learn or focus on how to use the gear we already have. Thank you for seeing the need for this.

@roscius6204 10 месяцев назад

This suits all levels of playing, great details. I think you could run a whole series of 'Dialing In' videos

@oddballsampler 10 месяцев назад

Not jaded in his sharing, no matter how he is feeling in the present moment. That’s class and mastery in an instructor and musician. Cool man right here. I hope to hear you for many years to come. Cheers all! I’ll take a quenching water!

Bea has such great tonal experience and tastes. This is just the video I needed! I did a ton of research in different delays and verbs and did a bunch of blindfold testing to land on Strymon. It's not surprising that Bea tends to prefer their sound, as it is immersive and generally easy to dial in.

@fender0942 10 месяцев назад

Bea, it’s always a masterclass watching you play man. I don’t play worship music but I’ve been watching their tone tutorials because I like the “worship” cleans for some things.

@mattw.6726 10 месяцев назад

I really dig this. Your comments about rolling back the tone in some of your other vids really helped me find the ambient tones I was looking for, but this deeper dive has some great info, especially about the way in which you're using the compressor to allow you to pick/pluck very lightly. Thanks, dude!

@slates1969 10 месяцев назад

Fantastic video Rabea. I find myself playing this style more and more after the heavy riffing stuff. Beautiful tone and great playing as always

@MrRikunaru 10 месяцев назад

Really really enjoyed the mix of you being your own style and being educational to us about what you love to do! Very inspiring, makes me instantly want to mix up my signal chain and get ambient! Thank you for this!

@EricSabag12 10 месяцев назад

YES! Always looking to get more inspiration from your tone and the playing tips are gold. Maybe similar video for heavy riffs too?

@airtree919 9 месяцев назад

Very nice! Was delighted to see my settings on my Flint and El Cap were similar to your dialed settings. Adjusted mine to exactly like yours and added the deepsix comp and it made a good difference! Thank you!

Thanks Rabea for sharing your insights on dialing in Ambient tones. I particularly like listening to the advice of someone who is skilled at dialing in tones from both extremes of the sound spectrum of Colossal Tones to Airy Ambient, and who has a good ear for it. Looking forward to the Colossal Tones video as well. 😎

@Unibabble 9 месяцев назад

Great tips, and so obvious in retrospect - but I have never been able to get this kind of lovely ethereal sound, and now I know why. Can't wait to try some of your advice, thanks!

This video just happened to show up in my feed. By sheer coincidence I received my new JHS 3 Series Hall Reverb pedal in the mail today. I bought it with the sole purpose of creating ambient tones. I figured out a few thing about making ambient tones years ago, but, this video helped a lot. Thank you!

@JosephCompton66 5 месяцев назад

@michaelgriffin5304 10 месяцев назад

In my specific setup, my amp has reverb before the fx loop, so I can engage a reverb before the delay. I also have a reverb pedal at the end of the chain, so it is easy to flip the chain around or even stack it R/D/R! NOS RCA black plate tube in the fx loop made the detail insane.

@HermelJaworski 10 месяцев назад

very useful tips ! Your playing is great as always. Also, some other things to consider : - if you have a low cut on the reverb, it's very useful to cut the low end and have a clearer tone - increase pre-delay to have your dry sound stand out from the reverb - stereo is even better!

@josephsacher1048 9 месяцев назад

@Rikamortis6stringer 10 месяцев назад

The pointers on dialing in the delay and reverb are very helpful. I can play those voicings and get the vibe but dialing in the pedals is part of it. I'm glad you explained how you get your tone because now everything makes sense. And I like how you said the voice and you use a third that makes sense I use that at a fourth as well for ambient tones and yes do a high note and a low note works great. Maybe you can show how you can flow from that into a high gain sort of chug thing, that would be cool! Sometimes transitioning from one aspect to another is hard. I really liked how you showed you can turn the drive up and go into that what I call razor King kind of pickin... Thanks again can't wait for the next one 🎵

@timothymckane6362 10 месяцев назад

Ambient music through guitar always sound really good.

@blznsaddles 9 месяцев назад

So on a lot of studio reverb units there is a control labeled 'Density'. I think this is what you're talking about when you say the digital reverbs sound like an infinite amount of echoes and not very realistic. Density controls the total number of echoes present in the reverb tail. Turning it down will generally make a space more believable if thats what you want to call it. A lot of the 80's style digital reverbs were very dense by default (Lexicon 480, PCM81, Bricasti). That dense sound is generally nice on drums and percussion, but I dial that way back for guitars and vocals. I'm sure you know this already, just figured I'd call out the control value for that. Most guitar pedals aren't gonna have that control but a software reverb or studio classic probably will.

@steveo44 Месяц назад

@ChrisB-lt6hp 10 месяцев назад

Like the cleanliness of the tone, notes ringing through giving air. The Middle Eastern feel especially around 11 minutes would sit lovely in a film score……sand moving over the dunes….yea. I remember Dave Gilmour saying ‘it’s more about the notes you don’t play’

@sandman20011 7 месяцев назад

You sir are just unbelievable. I'd give all the money I have and my house to be able to play the guitar like you. Don't think my wife and daughter would approve though. LOL. The swells at the end were magical. I'm going to buy those 2 pedals and try and recreate the sounds you did. Thanks for the video.

@davidcarlson8571 7 месяцев назад

Idea for a potential series. How you mix your wet effects during lead and rhythm. How you overall mix for band setting and solo setting. Thing of that nature? Your ear for tones is always on point! Cheers!
