Tuning lower with standard intervals - mind blown initially. Drop tuning - mind blown again. Drop on lower tuning - mind blown severely. Drop tuning in which E-string goes down 5 semitones down instead of usual 2 - high impact mind implosion. Open tuning effectively lower than E standard - mind reconstructed. Combining open major tuning with 5 semitone overdrop mentioned above - mind expanded. Applying open tuning of a 6-string on the 7-string, effectively expanding the bottom range - RETICULATED INTERGALACTIC PSYCHOACTIVE HIVE MIND.

Rabea is honestly the best teacher. He should definitely do like instructional DVD’s for everyone. I feel like I’d learn so much more

Climb up with the a string minor scale from open up while alternate picking your e)-now D string with every note that you hit on your a string, climb up or down to shred.. Then add all the diads-two note chords, with the higher d string and the a string pattern u just hit. Either be a half step or fulll step in either direction Congrats u can now play with every song thats in d or a and even g. Which is prolly 40% of all wstrn music

I’ve been in standard tuning this whole time, learned the pentatonic scale and all 5 positions. This just blew my mind, can’t wait to get into it. 🤘🏼

Awesome bro. The world of drop tunings is great lol. You think Drop D is awesome? Drop C and Drop C# are even better imo.

@@ZachMcCordProg it's pretty much like drop D but just everything is a whole step for C and the low E is tuned to C and so forth.

Thanks Bea,these lesson style vids are a great way of teaching those of us who dont know about these types of tunings and why they are used.More of this type of content would be great.

Never had it explained to me that way. Really clears it up, in my mind, and removes a lot of confusion I was having about drop D. Thanks, I really enjoy your playing!

THIS! Such a huge video. Bea, you are the man. Thanks for unlocking this for me. Best wishes on your continued success and a great many thanks.

Simple, yet useful creative advice. Great video, Rabea!

LOVE the 2nd tip with the barred d shape - will definitely use this! Thanks so much!

Awesome, very helpful and entertaining as always Rab! Thanks!

I remember when I discovered drop tunings for the first time when I was a kid, and it changed everything. Great little vid that will definitely be helpful for beginners :)

Ive been playing guitar for 19 years, and never been a shredder, just a standard player. These tips have blown my head wide open. Thanks a lot bea!!! BTW Grinding gears rocks!!!!

Your videos are rad! Keep it up. I love these Chapman guitars. Superb instruments, they are!

This is exactly the video I've been wanting for YEARS!

Not only can he shred, but he's a good teacher as well. Good video, I like the direction being taken with the channel.

Thanx for another superb Video. Rabea delivers Instruction in a simple and no nonsense manner.. Keep up the good work.

Great agrresive playing Rabea!!!! Thanks for the inspiration!

I've been playing for 36 years now and I just learned some new stuff. Thanks Bea

Actually as a beginner player, This was absolutely helpful. It's been really cool applying my vocal training and the theory I learned in my life being a singer...the doors that have opened. IN any event, thanks for the new understanding .

Awesome video and thank you for sharing your tips💙💙💙

Very useful and simple instructions. Thanks man. Please do more videos like that

Thank you for this Rabea! You're the man 🤘🤙

Rabea is the man!!!!! Cheers for the lesson.....l been looking for a cool open tuning to add to the open G and D and E,l already know!!!! Love ya playing man!!!!

Great video! Looking forward to part 2 with tips for Drop D ambient chords :)

Like the way you presented that idea Rabea.Great job!!!

Looking great brothuh! Thanks for the content! Best to you n yours!

A Very Helpful Explanation,and Great Tone. Thanks

Great lesson... I have played for years but never tried drop D so gonna give it a go tonight, nice one mate

Good use of a teaching experience,Very Well DONE !!!l

So glad you struggled for a sec at 4:56 ish, I do same fooking thing with that shape and i thought it was me, I always found it awkward. I'm more garage rock vintage hard rock but i'm getting into the grunge sound bit recently so Ive been experimenting in drop D And this was really helpful. I've watched you guys for ages n it's always well presented and great viewing! More instructional content would be welcome I'm sure most would agree. All the best over Christmas.

Very cool. I have to try. Good explaination. Thanks.

Thanks for the great lesson and for sharing

For those people who aren't familiar with down-tuning, these tips applies to down-tuning in general (Drop C, Drop B, Even Drop A) and not just Drop D :) Also to give an example of a Band that uses all of these tips a lot is Bullet for my Valentine (Although most of their music is written in Drop C). Great video as always :)

Really great lesson. Well explained!!

This was extremely helpful!

Thanks Rabea, I appreciate it. Very informative.

Blimey! Haven't seen Rabea in a while - the fella has lost no end of weight 👍 Respect!

Real helpful, Rab. Thanks

The color/grain on that far left grey Tele-ish guitar is absolutely gorgeous. I get the same "Wow, that is beautiful!" feeling I get when looking at a Silverburst Les Paul. Kudos!

Yeah was going to comment. Dairy as fuck and has the clarity of a nun

Rabea, i am a bass player who uses the one good finger on my right hand to do all the fretting work when i play, and use my two best fingers on my other to handle plucking work. It took me watching a guitar lesson on KZread a few months ago to realize what all of my "friends" that are guitar players could have taught me years ago whenever i expressed a desire to be able to play guitar.... knowledge of playing a stringed instrument that had no knowledge of chord building was the only missing piece. NO ONE ever shared that bit of free knowledge, especially when i am around so many musicians that down-tune their instruments.... Well, regardless. Thanks to my recently found knowledge and the basis on which to build my abilities, i have become quite the riffing addict on guitar in just a couple of months as well as continuing to advance my bass playing skills, UBER thanks to guys and gals like you for being willing to spread knowledge in a community of people that often seem very hesitant to want to advance the ability of those around them. Cheers to you! By the way, I FUCKING love my lefty ghost fret V2 =D if ya wanna see how i play, i have a video posted of a cover of shortest straw on bass that i posted recently. cheers man.

Bea is an excellent teacher!

beautiful creative expression !!! Rabea

This helped out a lot. Just started to play guitar and write songs

i did read top 3 drop d riffs. i basically just watched 5.33 mins of Bea telling me all the stuff i already knew, without even questioning why he's not playing riffs haha.

keep teaching this kinda stuff!!! learned alot, thanks :-D

Love this! Can you expand on this more? How about a few more techniques in drop d?

Great lesson mate!

Thanks for the useful tips!!!

Nice vid. I never really messed much w drop d. This was helpful.

Great tips. Thanks! I always think it's helpful for beginners to have tips like these so they sound like they're playing something. People get bummed out trying to play "twinkle twinkle lil star" from a book, and end up quiting! If they play something like this...wow! And it's easy!

Rabea is the best teacher love his approach to learning.

The E shape barre chord changed to D shape barre chord was so helpful, thanks alot!

Thanks, Bea! Always love when you teach us tips and riffs!

Awesome...something I've never really tried apart from a bit of overlong!! Will deffo give this a go ....cheers amigo

very interesting ,as a slide player using open tuning I find the demo helpful thanks

I’m not necessarily a beginner but this gave me ideas for songwriting. Thanks man.

Very helpful, thank you!

great hints, thank you

Great tips Rabea...I had to subscribe!

Nice! Thanks for the tips.

Great video great tips!

Very very very useful!!!!! Thank you!

Great video!!

Sooooo helpful for desperate beginners, thank you!

Duuuude!! That was really cool,I'm a newbie at metal and just learning about drop D... So thank you much brother..😎🤘🏻🤙🏻

love ya Bea! Thanks for the good work :D

Shredder 🔥🔥🔥 thanks for the tips!

2:52 is not a horrible chord it's A/G and it actually sounds pretty awesome

I have known about drop D for a long time now from friends and family but i have not experimented with it yet. I am however at the point where I'm chugging and such ... so I will definitely try the drop D. Thanks for the tips.

Rabea's the man !! What a badass guitar player !!

Gotdamn, Bea, you’re lookin good dude! Your hard work has definitely paid off!

Rabea could you do a video or something explaining your stroking techniques on the first tip? I loved how that played. I've only been playing a couple of months and I'm a student of Musicisum and I'd love to learn how you were doing that. Thanks

Can you nuts act like a nut?

Love the Dsus2 chord shape. I also look at it as stacking 2 power chords on top of one another, if you don't play the E string for the sus2 'colour'. e.g. at 5th fret it is GDGDG(mute top string) for a big sounding G5.

I'm not even close to being a begginer on guitar and for playing metal for many years i'm no strange to drop tunings however i've always prefered regular tunings. Sound more natural to me. Recently i've been playing drop tunings more and this was really cool. Some interesting tips.

This really helped me thankyou

Love Chapman guitars

This is what I like about the 7 string in Drop A. It's the 6-string standard I've been learning, but then I can add in the 1-finger power chords.

Rabea, you are AMAZING bro!!!

This really helped me as I always just down tuned the a string aswell, could you do a drop c version of this? Thanks.

I was in Andertons recently and checked out the latest grey - black satin PRS SE range, and whilst they looked great I found the bottom E string on a couple very buzzy and they didn't feel very well set up. I then tried a couple of Chapmans and they played beautifully so as a comparison I would have gone for the Chapman. :-)

Thought it was a helpful video. I've never played in drop d , usually standard tuning . Might just try it👏👏👏👏

This guitar is beautiful and sounds awesome.
