lol they all did. I see a guy do this i just say "ya i only play folk music... oh um why the ibby and the vypyr? um.. well its new age folk um.. anyway gotta go!"
Some say, he strangled a lion with a set of 10-46 strings when he was three years old. And that his afro is so massive, it has its own gravitational pull. All we know, is that he's called Rabea!
Imagine getting those three riffs from Rabea and thinking, “Great now I just have to put his riffs and my riffs side by side in a video for all to see.”
Honestly would love a song with all 3, I think musically they could fit together well. Rebea is incapable of writing something even remotely subpar. All 3 of these are fucking absurdly amazing.
Guitar in 1 and 3 round (The brown ones) Are in drop C , maaybe drop C# but if my hearing serves me well it's in drop C and the red guitar was i think drop A or drop A#
+MKRocker94 Did I say that he won? Nope. I've just talk about how did he sound, which was pretty nice and special to me. I'm used to listen to Jared and Fluff but Rabea was new to me.
Does anybody else feels sorry for hearing such awesome riffs being wasted here just for fun? LOL I mean they could really make awesome songs out of these! U guys rock! I love the riff wars tho.
+Jacob J. It really does after playing long enough when I first started I never thought I could pull stuff out of my ass like that but I've been playing 8 years now and once you get it burned in your brain what chords or note on which fret and string sound like without playing then improv comes naturally. For me anyway but I don't see how it wouldn't work that way for most people.
Yo it's been SEVEN years since this dropped (seriously, where does the time go?) and I STILL keep coming back to listen to the knockout riff (Rabea riff 3)
Remember when riffs were just, what can I do with these four chords around the 1st and third fret. Now Bea is all like “what can I do with this riff that has every string that uses a flux capacitor and spans 85% of the fretboard.”
I remember watching this two years ago when I first got back into playing guitar after 10yrs not playing. I gave an easy win to fluff and Dines. 2yrs later I’m just scratching my head wondering how the f*** I came up with that conclusion. Bea’s chord voicings are so juicy!!! Bea destroyed that one.
I love Rabea but slow your roll lol Just fucking with you thats your opinion. I suggest you watch Jared Dines tribute to EVH. If you really want to know how I feel I wish I had half the talent of any of these players.
Check out his channel for tips regarding his interesting chords used, he also has, i believe, a video regarding drop tuning chords and such, he has a nod towards O Fortuna whilst giving those tips. It's funny xD

Yep lol
I'm back for the 1st and 3rd
@@MajicPants Hell yeah, are there any tabs for them?)
@@jake5089 I don't believe so, but the first chord in the 3rd riff is the same as in Congress by Toska 😂
Hell yes!
Rabea packed their lunch, took them to school, and stole and ate their lunch. That man is a monster
Duuude you can't write things like that when I'm watching YT @work, I nearly pissed myself....
Holy shit. I'm late as hell to this but DAMNIT MAN, that was HIGHlarious
I was the 666th like on this. NO ONE ELSE LIKE IT!!! lol.
Holy fuck
Stole and ate their lunch and replace it for a turd sandwich !!!!!!!
this was just budget killswitch on the left Vs some of the most mind crushing riffs I've ever heard on the right
I still prefer shreds above some random djent riffs
Seriously. Rabea is just on a whole other level
You're being kind to the left. 😄
That last riff from the left was a variation of new awakening from killswitch
Budget Killswitch :D hahhah yeah well it's not like I didn't like them but Bea is on another level
Sorry gents, Rabea won this one.
That man is savage.
Sorry djents

Yuuuup. I love me some Toska but that riff is from another dimension
If it’s from one of his Toska songs, which one is it from? Been looking all over for it
@@SBMoto24 As far as I know it's never been used in a song
Rabea's first riff was enough for me. He wins it all. Jesus.
Seriously.
It was so good
There is no shame in getting demolished by Rabea. That man is a fucking animal.
tosin abasi is an animal, an animal as leader!
People talks about shredding, about solos. Nonsense, the real force and the rythm is in the riffs...
Some say he hides his riffs in his afro
WeeklyAudio hahahaha :D
Thats probably where kirk hammets phone is as well
I unconsciously read this in Jeremy Clarkson's voice.
FonBaron Kapeldudkin Rabea is the Stig of djent

Nearing the end of 2023… still rips my face off!

yeah, I want a song with these riffs!

you're welcome.
i always come back for those riffs. i need this top comment :)

2nd one is my favorite
i need an entire song with the 1:45 riff
Fluff was like: Hey, what if i play the same riff twice?
Honestly both were pretty weak on their own, no wonder Rabea annihilated them
Such a dad riffer
Round 1 : Rabea
Round 2 : Rabea
Round 3 : Rabea
I think Rabea won...
I'm not a math expert but yes, I think so too.
Рабиа лучший!
Rabea's third riff! Need a full song!
It is kinda a full song now. Search for toskas last album. there you will find this riff
@@FroopFruchtalarm song name?
@@benmartin6137 Not sure. The Album has only 5 'real' songs
Congress is kind of similar, but I wouldn't call it an evolution from this riff.
Idk about his 3rd riff, but you can find his second in solo album "Grinding gears" with the name "Siggy pop"
Imagine getting those three riffs from Rabea and thinking, “Great now I just have to put his riffs and my riffs side by side in a video for all to see.”
I swear that first riff rebea played, is the meanest piece of music you'll ever hear.
what about at 1:45 probably one of the most original/amazing sounding riffs ever. so brootal yet beautiful.
+GR0UNDC0MMAND3R _ yeah,that part in Chalk Teeth makes me hard. I'd gladly learn it but I'm too lazy to tune myself to Drop c
I agree. 100%
its the best. its better than the last riff by rabea its heavy and awesome don't judge
Yeah that riff fuckin screams. He is total nu metal material
I need a 10 hr loop of Rabea's last riff

I don't think bea understands that people are genuinely sad that we never got a full release of that 3rd riff..
There's something pretty similar on his Does it Djent? - Victory VX Kraken video.

It reminds me a lot of Fear Factory. I think there's another more like it, but check out Fear Factory - Archetype.
did you find it?

rabeas last riff just makes me smile and increases my bloodpressure!
Same here! If you meant that in a positive way!

i want a song with exactly this riff !!!
Last riff won the challenge
yes,it sounded like the fate of the universe was on the shoulders of this riff.
1:45 Kicked it into high gear, very melodic... I'm crying here. this needs to be a song. I'd have that on constant loop for hours.

well I guess they got your attention, cause you seem to know every detail of their lives. weirdo.
2022 and still coming back for the riff which ended all riff wars. Y'all know the one I mean.
It’s first quarter of the year 2023 and I’m still mind blowin from Rabea’s third riff just the sound alone 1:53 - 1:58 my god……… man has talent
Rabea won because off the last riff!
Julius Miller To me it's because the second riff he did. I loved that.
Rayene Boussetta no. I meant 2nd. I loved the second
Julius Miller and the afro😉
Anyone knows if Rabea made a whole song out of this last riff?

Ty very much!
Everyone saying they come back for Bea’s 3rd riff. Man, I come back for his phenomenal acting.
Rabea slaughtered so hard it make me question my creativity.
Dude you are literally everywhere, why do I see you on almost every video I watch?
Impressive how Rabea arranges his riffs, they have character!
Sorry guys, but Rebea blew both of you out of the water.
totally.
+Zach Gunselman he did! way more innovative and freaky!
we should get Drewsif Stalin in there
Yup, absolutely
That first riff from bea was phenomenal.
Please, Rebea,
MAKE THAT LAST RIFF A SONG!
Yip, it's 7 years since this video dropped and Rabea's 3rd riff is still astonishing every. Single. Time.
Fluff had some good riffs, but Rebea... another level, the melodic tones and funky tightness. A joy to listen to both.
Rabeas first riff was awesome
That Rabea's 3rd riff... still in our hearts, minds and ears!

1 and 3 are drop C, 2 are drop B (Jared) and drop A# (Bea).
Check out his band Toska if you like riffs like that, Infantile is a perfect example of a song with chords like that
BEA BRO THAT 3RD RIFF GOTTA BE A SONG C'MON 4 YEARS LATER IT STILL SMACKS
Rabea Killed it on round 3 with that melodic riff!!!!! Fawk!!!:)
I agree so much!!
