Rabea's original video -
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRiYGqyCOok
Rediscovered this super inspiring video from @RabeaMassaad about improvising and going beyond one's comfort zone. The chordal loop he's jamming over is hauntingly beautiful and features a tricky shift to navigate on the fretboard. Awesome to see a player as successful and creative as Rabea chatting openly about guitar challenges and the push to keep improving. Inspired me to have a play and talk about some of the things I'm thinking/seeing/hearing when working through somewhat tricky chordal shifts.
