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

    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.

    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.

    I play guitar in a worship team and this was very helpful. Thank you for this instructional video.

    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!

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

    I swear he’s one of my favorite players of all time. There’s just so much feel and emotion in his playing. Shits intoxicating

    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.

  • @brianburke808

    Oh hi! I'm so glad you're here. Blue and I are dialing in some juicy tones 😁.

  • @HKTimbo

    Thanks Rabea. I was completely the wrong direction with my delay and always struggled. Informative as always. Cheers.

  • @ChrisB-lt6hp
    @ChrisB-lt6hp ปีที่แล้ว +1

    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’

  • @fender0942
    @fender0942 ปีที่แล้ว +16

    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.

  • @airtree919
    @airtree919 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    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!

  • @HermelJaworski
    @HermelJaworski ปีที่แล้ว +2

    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!

    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!

  • @timothymckane6362

  • @Highwind1989
    @Highwind1989 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I love Rabea's ability to teleport my mind somewhere else after just playing two bars with the delay

  • @EricSabag12
    @EricSabag12 ปีที่แล้ว +6

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

  • @blznsaddles
    @blznsaddles ปีที่แล้ว +3

    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.

  • @Unibabble
    @Unibabble ปีที่แล้ว +1

    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!

  • @forfilmmusic

    Just got myself a JHS 3 Series Hall Reverb! Going to have some with this and my Boss DD3-T. Thank you for this video Bea!

  • @banwavy
    @banwavy ปีที่แล้ว

    Always ringing out the root low note every so often and just pausing then doing some playing is fantastic.

  • @sandman20011
    @sandman20011 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    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.

  • @michaelgriffin5304
    @michaelgriffin5304 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    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.

  • @j.3451

    Man, your taste for tones, any tones, is awesome!

  • @davidcarlson8571
    @davidcarlson8571 ปีที่แล้ว

    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!

    Had a distinctly Indian sound (sitar-ish) to your riffs once you turned the compressor on at 11:00. Interesting examples of what to play. Thanks.

  • @Rikamortis6stringer
    @Rikamortis6stringer ปีที่แล้ว

    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 🎵

  • @mattw.6726
    @mattw.6726 ปีที่แล้ว

    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!

  • @bobyk87

    That reverb sounds so similar to a real one. There this abandoned empty building I would go to and my wife would sing just to enjoy that super long natural delay with a human voice is a dream.

    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. 😎

    • @therewasascene
      @therewasascene ปีที่แล้ว

      Check out his anderton’s shootout videos to get a feel for what he likes for reverb/delay and you could combine an inexpensive pair.
      I like my Seymour Duncan vapor trail for delay - you can run it 9-18v and it gets clearer with more volts - nice flexibility. Killer modulation. It’s not expensive. Rabea liked the Walrus fundamental delay for $99 and the TC bucket brigade.
      JHS reverbs get big and sound good for $99. Hall/just Reverb would do you right. Bea dug the Behringer too! Super cheap. I see Boss get used a lot but in the anderton’s vid he didn’t like the digital zing on the RV-6 at all

  • @gohamm8629
    @gohamm8629 ปีที่แล้ว

    Could watch/listen to you play for weeks on end, man! Video idea - “ear training”, but instead of for notes, for tone. When you hear a song or guitar tone you really like, how do you know what effects to use to recreate it? Basically, it’s the missing link between the original artists and your “sounds like” videos (which are the stuff of legends!!!).
