Rabea is the guitarist the world has been waiting for. This guy is a very talented composer, then his playing, and tone, and ideas are all so very tasty and fresh. Bea, don't ever stop. Your music is awesome. You give nods to all the great grooves, and you run no cliched lines. Of course I love VH and the hot players like Nuno and Vai etc... but in the end my favorite stuff is King's X, and whatever you are doing. Keep it coming brother, you are an inspiration, I absolutely mean that.
The drum feel change at the end of riffs under the bonsai tree back to the initial feel for a bar puts a massive smile on my face every time. So bloody good !
Watching this straight through just shows how versatile of a player you are Bea. Its really amazing how many styles you can cover and NAIL. Great work dude!
Thanks for putting your music out to the world! I've been cranking Volume 1&2 around the New Orleans area for a couple of weeks now. I downloaded Volume 3 last night and look forward to listening to it.
Yo Rabea, your stuff is all sick, you're easily one of my favorite guitarists and guitar heroes, right up there with Nuno, Guthrie, Petrucci and Vai. Keep up the good work or not you've already done enough in my mind.
Jesus man, you are carrying the torch passed by so many before you in the best bloody way. Your passion bleeds through with every string stroke, the culmination of every verse and riff hits a payload that would make any 49er blush. Many wishes to your continued passion and success my brother.
I have all of your music purchased!! Big fan!! Another showing of great talent!!! Mark "Tremonti" should worry.......or even give you a call because he should be impressed!! Thank you!! John from Jersey (USA)
Cheers Rabea.👌🏻What a over the top presentation of your excellent unique skill and sounds and presentation! If you go live with a band I’m sold for a ticket🤘🏻😉🎸
YEAH! I played in a fairly successful metal band about 20-ish years ago in the Southeast US. Haven't played a lot or written anything in WELL over a decade. My oldest son is now starting to play guitar and MY WIFE of 24 years now wants me to teach her to play bass guitar. Just have to say a big THANK YOU to my brother from across the pond! Rebea, Your music is really inspiring me to GO HARD and get back to writing and headbanging bro!!! Seriously, THANK YOU!
awesome stuff Rabea. I know its cliche but they really don't make em like they used to, but you've broken that stereotype. Your a great example of the diverse modern musician. "Don't Get Me Wong" is a perfect little break-up jingle. love it.
Already in 3rd gear and still far ahead of the pack. Rabea, Thanks so much for your refreshing way of making music/ playing guitar with no boundaries. I have followed all your Utube "podcasts"since day one and always looking forward for a new one either with the Andertons / gear review or other music related podcasts. You're doing great, Keep on keepin' on.
Don't think is underrated at all by anyone. He's just not so known as I hope he one day will be, if he keeps up the insane playing and development as he has had the last years I've followed him at least.
I have to say, I wasn't too impressed when I first heard you play many years ago with the Anderton's guys. Things have changed...you've become a monster. I love the stuff you're playing now. Absolutely KILLER. :-)
Grinding Gears is evolving every time, excellent, incredible, powerful stuff. The most important is, you can recognize Rabea's individual style. That makes it unique. Love you man and big thanks!
I've followed you for years now and I still have no idea why the hell you only have 300k subs... Killer riffs, leads and throwing some sweeping in to boot. Tons of people really missing out. Awesome stuff as usual! Have the other two albums and will be adding this one as well.
I just listened to the first 6 minutes of your music and i already love it. Came across you because of your guitar which I ordered and should be getting it in June. I wasn't sure if the guitar was for me but after hearing this, I'm pretty sure it's what I'm looking for! You've got some sick ass riffs!

Rabea is a freaking riff machine. This is insane
Where did I leave my jaw that dropped on the floor?
along with mine :D Rabea is a wizard!!!
I’d say on the floor
@@tuts3908 :D :D :D :D :D
Can't help but smile every time I hear "Don't Get Me Wong"
Thats a great freakin track.
Me too. On literally any other album it would be so out of place, killing the flow. But on a Bea album it’s perfect, just where it needs to be.
I found it jarring in the mix, but still great musicianship
Does it have anything to do with Cory Wong?
exactly right
The ''Stank-Face'' is strong with this one!!.....
Oh My Getgoodness and The Mods had the hairs on the back on my neck on end, Phenomenal!! ;)
The low end on all these track is EPIC, super chunky yet not at all muddy.
Major respect to the mixing/mastering of this.
Black Friday is just insane - I love the chugging

There's a lot of early Keith Merrow in what Bea does as well. Really similar compositional style to that period of KM! Love 'em both
Don't Get Me Wong is an absolute NBA Live '99 menu music vibe, love it
You should tour this album. Aggy Bas would crush live
Riffs Under The Bonsai Tree sounds like a Doom soundtrack, and I'm so into that
Doom or Quake II
AGGY BAS & BLACK FRIDAY on 11 = my therapy for the week!!..
Plini More Of That channeling Sevendust hard!!! Love it!!!
BRO THAT BLACK FRIDAY CHORD PROGRESSION IS PERFECTION.
Man I was about to finish some tasks, but now I cant stop head banging. Grinding Gears 3 is once again a fucking banger!! Keep it up man!
The drum feel change at the end of riffs under the bonsai tree back to the initial feel for a bar puts a massive smile on my face every time. So bloody good !

Brilliant idea releasing this video play along with the album release...more players and bands should do this!!! 🤘
That baritone Chapman is gorgeous!
Yo Rabea, your stuff is all sick, you're easily one of my favorite guitarists and guitar heroes, right up there with Nuno, Guthrie, Petrucci and Vai. Keep up the good work or not you've already done enough in my mind.
Aggy Bas is FN heavy ! Can’t help but play that loud as F*^#!!! Rabea your heavy melodic riffing is genius !
*fuck
Self-censoring=cringe.
No-one will pat you on the head for it.
So much to savor here. Each so rich in content and detail. Wow! If art had calories, I'd be one chubby hombre after this.
Hey Rabea, "Riffs Under The Bonsai Tree" is an absolut smashing ass-kicker. Thanks for that and for the rest of your work
Jesus man, you are carrying the torch passed by so many before you in the best bloody way. Your passion bleeds through with every string stroke, the culmination of every verse and riff hits a payload that would make any 49er blush. Many wishes to your continued passion and success my brother.
one of the first albums I've heard fully, in one sitting
i have yet to listen to it but i already know its going to be great, preemptive thumbs up
This entire album is one GIANT STANK FACE!!!! Holy Crap!
Killer tone, amazing playing and songwriting, nothing like it, way to go 👍
I have all of your music purchased!! Big fan!! Another showing of great talent!!! Mark "Tremonti" should worry.......or even give you a call because he should be impressed!! Thank you!! John from Jersey (USA)
And it all started from the master of puppets tab book from that plumber !
Wow. I already love it. Thanks for sharing your amazing music with us!
Cheers Rabea.👌🏻What a over the top presentation of your excellent unique skill and sounds and presentation! If you go live with a band I’m sold for a ticket🤘🏻😉🎸
Bea!!! Awesome Job and yes... I'm loving my Chapman ML3 BEA
Hell yes! Great stuff!

You're doing great, Keep on keepin' on.
Black Friday is an insane track for the gym. Really love it for heavy sets.
That filthy riff after the solo in 'Silo' giving me some thick neck muscles. Just damn
Hotel Cali Fortin is probably my favorite. But they all kick ass!
Played this album so much on Apple Music, kept me going through many boring days at work! Also made me buy a baritone. Such an underrated guitarist 🤘
Don't think is underrated at all by anyone. He's just not so known as I hope he one day will be, if he keeps up the insane playing and development as he has had the last years I've followed him at least.
NICE! ive been waiting for this. great job rabea!
Great work man. "Oh my gretgoodness" = melodic goodness. Love it.
