  2. Rick's entire family are just pranking him at this point lmao

  3. The system is broken. The music industry is taking advantage of people who are helping them, little do they know. Rick Beato is introducing people to music they would have never heard of. I'm a Hip Hop guy and I appreciate his musical knowledge and appreciation for so many music genres. This channel is one of the best on YouTube! There has to be something we as fans and students can do!

  4. "Never gonna pick a key...I'm gonna modulate the song forever"
    14000
  5. Ok, so whos going to do the WAP/Alice In Chains mashup first?
    13000
  6. Mildly unhinged Rick is my favorite Rick
    12000
  7. If someone ever accuses me of bending a note out of tune I'll be sure to let them know they simply don't know the song
    12000
  8. The paradox of having the world of music quite literally at your fingertips, yet being numb to it.
    10000
  9. That's literally a "stop everything you're doing and watch now" video, so that's what i did. Thank you Rick.
    9900
  10. Accurate definition of being a Master on what he does. An interview would be amazing! :)
    9500
  11. Thank you so much for having me, Rick. ❤️
    9200
  12. I think Rick's secret mission is to shame contemporary songwriters into writing more interesting music.
    9200
  13. I’m surprised but not shocked that Brian agreed to join you, Rick. This is a testament to your incredible scholarship and an honor from one of the greatest rock guitarists ever. Well done!
    8200
  14. We should start a band.
    7900
  15. This interview is a crowning achievement for the channel. At this point, Page and McCartney can’t be far behind. 🏆
    7300
  16. I can't sing, I don't play any instruments, and have no idea how to read/write music, but I do love to listen to music. Rick, you give me a deeper appreciation for the music I love, and you introduced me to music I never listened to before and enjoy now. You make the music world a better place.
    7200
  17. Rick's patience towards utterly abysmal new music is admirable
    7200
  18. that was such an amazing time! with such great company! thank you for having me, Rick. ❤️Matteo is my new hero! 🫂⚡️
    6300
  19. I’ve never seen him nicer and more polite than with you. You bring the best out of your guests - and make me proud as a Swedish music teacher.
    6100
  20. Rick is archiving the thoughts and words of important musicians for posterity. A real cultural archive.
    6000
  21. Thank you for having me Rick! It was a nice talk as always ❤, Mateus is just phenomenal 🔥
    6000
  22. Rick figures out chords as fast as I fall asleep after joining an online lecture
    6000
  23. I feel like many artists/bands in 82/83 were trying to out-modulate each other 😂
    5700
  24. The timing of this video. RIP Eddie
    5700
  25. "And the Grammy for best AI prompt goes to...."
    5600
  26. I can’t count how many times I’ve watched your videos only to immediately seek out the song to listen to it on YouTube. You’re doing a better job of promoting their music than they are.
    5600
  27. Sting interviews have always been a grumpy tug-of-war. This is the first time I have ever seen Sting not only answer the question, but almost gleefully expand with sentiment. This is the best musician to musician Sting interview ever; hands down. Feather in your cap for this one Rick.
    5500
  28. Here before Bieber summoned Beato to delete the video.
    5400
  29. “That one was for free.” 😂 Priceless
    5300
  30. If Rick ever decides to do a series called RANT I would gladly watch it and probably bring popcorn
    5300
  31. “If it’s new to you, it’s new.” Truer words were never spoken. I’ve argued with music snobs too much about this.
    5200
  32. I would DEFINITELY love to see more content like this. The process in the studio is fascinating. Beautiful song.
    5100
  33. I've been around a long time, and you know, when you've been around a long time, you see people who are older , and they've survived this very complicated life that we've all been given, to figure out what are we to do with it? We have these children, we have this home, we have this relationship, we have all this stuff, it comes and goes like waves . Sometimes its okay, sometimes its horrible , and that will never change. how you react to it, is what makes the difference . Let's not all get hysterical when the dog won't stop barking. We all have to take turns barking. We all need to bark, and this happens to be the day that your dog is barking. Something is bugging him and he's barking, and until we figure out what it is, he's going to bark . We all need to do that. Don't be afraid to bark. It's good to bark. It's good for your soul. Then we have to sit back, take a deep breath, drink plenty of water , and not get too upset with the every day stuff , because it can make you sick if you let it . Go with the tide, ride with the tide, go with the flow Thank you Aunt Penny.
    5000
  34. One of the greatest parts of this channel is the open mindedness. No genre is looked down on. If it's well executed it gets discussed. Well done.
    4900
  35. This is now my favorite Rick Beato video.
    4800
  36. This for me is the best interview I’ve seen from Billy. You let him flow and didn’t have a preconceived plan of questions. He looked nervous at the start, like he was being interviewed for the first time protective of his band and their latest single, slowly releasing the joy and magic that he had at the time of recordings and the eclectic mix of amazing producers, engineers and musicians he has worked with. If you could bottle this, the world would be an awesome place. As it is, this can go down as the most emotive and beautiful capturing of Billy discussing one of the most spectacular bands of all time. ❤❤❤
    4700
  37. Rick, your channel is what I always hoped the internet would become. Well done man. Bravo!
    4500
  38. Sorry for your loss my friend. R.I.P Aunt Penny.
    4300
  39. Love these vids!
    4200
  40. Absolute privilege to hang out and talk music with you Rick. So cool to be apart of this new series ! Iconic channel, and appreciate you listeners for taking the time to watch this! Truly means a lot!
    4200
  41. Guitar is reclaiming the throne muhaha 🎸
    4200
  42. Hello Rick. I am a 15 year old who had problems with my heart too. I've been watching your videos for about 2 years and I wouldn't have started playing guitar without your chanel. I really do hope you continue to live a happy life and make more of those fantastic interviews. Much love from a younger Rush and King Crimson fan ❤
    4200
  43. The whole thing is just so ass backwards. Who in their right mind would have a problem with you sharing their music with your audience for the sole purpose of telling them how great it is? Makes no sense.
    4100
  44. The genius of this song isn’t even the chords, it’s that they wrote a singable, hummable, memorable vocal melody over that!!!
    4100
  45. Think about how odd this is: A video tribute to an anonymous gentleman works beautifully within a channel about music. Maybe that's the key to Rick's success... it's not just about instruction or appreciation. This channel makes us feel like we're all part of the same musical family. Me, you, Sting, Pat Metheny, Joni Mitchell, his friend Peter – just a bunch of friends talking the same language of notes, chords, melody lines, and solos. A lot of you mention Rick's quality of not talking down to his audience. That's because he's talking with us, not at us. I doubt any of us knew Peter Smart, but in this club of musical friends it feels like we lost one of our family members. RIP...
    4000
  46. This is one of the best videos I've seen in my life.
    3800
  47. Lazy composers biting old songs, hoping no one important notices. BUSTED
    3700
  48. Thank you so much to Rick Beato for having me. A huge honor!
    3700
  49. Rick Beato asked three questions in 90 minutes and let Rick Wakeman riff. Journalists should take note.
    3600
  50. Nice one dude!!
    3500
  51. Anytime I’m in a restaurant or a store where they play some generic “pop” playlist, all I can hear is the pitch corrected vocals. There’s lots of modern music made with little or no autotune, but it seems you can’t have a top 40 hit these days without over use of autotune.
    3500
  52. Imagine being able to listen to something you created when you were a teenage musician and not being horribly embarrassed by it.
    3500
  53. Huge congrats Rick. You’re an inspiration, and it’s so incredible to see artists of this stature on your channel.
    3400
  54. Rick, whoever is doing the lighting and color grading on your videos is killing it. Looks great.
    3400
  55. Rick is true pro interviewer. Always let's his guests talk, never interrupts, never directs the interview back to himself, and doesn't compete with his guest. I always enjoy his interviews and always come away feeling I learnt a lot about his guest.
    3400
  56. Rick needs to be THE guy who interviews all musicians. He is the only person who can give substance and understanding to a conversation. He is the guy that we all want to be speaking on our behalf and I, as the viewer, feel so proud to be connected to him, even if it is vicariously on social media. A truly brilliant interview.
    3400
  57. Not only is Rick Beato interviewing artists and musicians with wonderful questions, revealing their world of insight and creative processes. He's creating an historic library for the next generations to explore.
    3400
  58. The difference between you and most youtubers (aside from being a compelling person, great production value, etc.) is you're drawing from a deep well of personal experience. You can relate to experts in the craft and are actually interested in knowing the answers to your questions. Most people look at being an online personality as a way to make money - you're like a professor and student at the same time - no reason for it to ever get old as long as there are new questions to ask.
    3300
  59. Let's all appreciate that we have Beato, Abasi, Hensen, and Mansoor along with their opinions in the palm of our hands for free.........
    3300
  60. Please interview Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson, together, I'm sure it would be a hoot!
    3200
  61. Thank you for jamming the track Rick! You're the man!!!
    3200
  62. This isn't just another interview; it's an important documentation of jazz history. You are doing good work, Rick Beato. Please keep it up.
    3100
  63. Rick Beato discussing "The Gilmour Effect" with...David Gilmour. These are the moments we live for, folks, savor this!
    3100
  64. It's OK Rick! I teach 46 music students at my school each week and NONE of them are interested in learning any of the current pop music! Every one of them is learning the great older music that you usually talk about. There is still hope!!
    3100
  65. There won't be many more of these law suits, because judging by Rick's top 20 rundown, no one is actually writing pop songs anymore.
    2900
  66. Rick: "I'm gonna call Seal and ask him." Me: 😳😮😲
    2900
  67. RIck, I want to thank you for asking the right questions, and allowing me to give as complete an answer as I could!! Let's do that again...
    2900
  68. And Rick Beato has the most recognizable air drums technique
    2900
  69. This is how I keep up with pop music. With Rick Beato's videos, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Let's go!
    2900
  70. One of Ricks superpowers is to be able to listen to autotune 23 minutes straight without imploding.
    2900
  71. With all due respect and esteem for your achievements, personally, everything you explain, say and present in each video is of great value even if you had never sold a copy of a record: you talk about music and not necessarily about business and I fully share your enthusiasm and your vision of music of which you speak with obvious tremendous competence. Thank you for everything you do and give here.
    2800
  72. Hey dear friend, I know you probably won't see this. But as a fellow YouTuber who goes through this constantly (and wins), I would like to pose an opposing view: given your stature in the industry, could it be time to start disputing these claims? Before you dismiss this outright, consider that given your huge fanbase, you could be the one who makes a difference here. I know it sounds like a major hassle, but it's really not that difficult and I would be happy to share the language my lawyer drafted up so you can use it. Now I know that the reason you don't file disputes is because you want the artist to get paid which is quite noble. But the reason that I'm suggesting an alternative course here is that the record companies are quite terrified of this actually going to court. Not only do you have a completely valid claim for fair use, but if they decide to take you to court and you demonstrate fair use, they are open to HUGE liabilities in anti-SLAPP lawsuits (strategic lawsuits against public participation--basically lawsuits that are designed to prevent the powerful from intimidating you into censoring yourself). Honestly, if they were foolish enough to issue a takedown and file a claim against you, they could potentially get hurt so badly they would never do so again. You are a giant in this field Rick, consider that you might have the power in this case to make things better for others out there. Warm regards, Matt Ramsey
    2800
  73. Rick anticipating the chord changes before they happen must be the best advertising for his ear training course ever! Way to go, Rick!
    2700
  74. This might be of help - I've gotten a copyright strike once and when you go to dispute section there should be an email contact of someone who is in charge of that particular copyright. I wrote them an e-mail and explained myself, I was doing something similar to you, talking about a certain live performance and teaching people about singing a song like that through that example. I apologized for not asking for permission, asked nicely if they would be kind enough to remove the strike, told them that I am willing to delete the video, or if they agree, they can leave the video up but demonetized it. In a few days I got the response - apology accepted and that I should send the ID of the video that got the strike. Miraculously, they removed the strike, allowed the video to get published and even agreed to - shared revenue. So that dispute function can really be helpful, I actually use it often for blocked videos. Sometimes they respond and say that it is still blocked but I never got a strike after they disagreed with me - so that's a good thing. In most cases, nobody response, and after 30 days the video is fully up and all the revenue goes to me because they failed to respond withing the time period they have to response (which is 30 days). After that I think they can't demonetize it, block it, or anything later. Hope this is helpful, I know how much that sucks...
    2700
  75. A mother’s choice to sacrifice a weeks pay for her son quite possibly led to millions of people learning more about music 30 years later.
    2700
  76. You’re a national treasure Rick! Looking forward to new videos!
    2700
  77. Great video mate, I love your passion and explanation of this stuff 👌🏻🤘🏻
    2600
  78. I would say they clearly agree with you about it being lifted if they chose to share the writing credits with Dagny, b/c you know they wouldn't cut someone else in on the money unless they felt they really had to. So they knew they weren't going to get away with it and just nipped it in the bud by sharing the writing credit.
    2600
  79. "American musician and YouTube personality Rick Beato has analysed the chord structure of the song in a video titled "The Most COMPLEX Pop Song of All Time".'[4]" someone already edited the song's wiki page saying you've reviewed it
    2600
  80. Thank you for the mention and kind words Rick! Means a lot!
    2600
  81. A Beato, an albino, a mosquito, my libido...Yeah, hey!
    2600
  82. You're Killin' Me Rick!!! Ha ha ha this is great. You are putting out some of the best "rea"l musical content on the internet. This is definitely NOT "low information" ha ha ha ha
    2600
  83. Add this to the list of one of the best interviews.
    2500
  84. Nothing gives me joy quite like watching Rick crank out some Meshuggah riffs
    2500
  85. When you think you can't like a song any more, and Beato points out some things you've missed for decades... Thanks man!
    2500
  86. The grammys are basically what the Oscars would be if they just nominated every marvel movie for picture of the year. How its considered the pinnacle of music is beyond me. It's just something record companies can use to market their pop stars. "GRAMMY AWARD WINNING" GRAMMY NOMINATED" It's dumb and means nothing to me.
    2500
  87. A very important post, Rick. I've got tinnitus, and hearing loss, as do many of my contemporaries from the 60's and 70's. Sting has it, Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, Pete Townsend, Hughie Lewis, the list is endless. If you're a youngster reading this and are not yet afflicted, do yourself a favor and protect your hearing by whatever means necessary.
    2400
  88. George is the greatest…total respect for the amazing man. No one has come close to him. I first saw him live at the State theater in Sydney in 1976, with his iconic Breezin’ band I was 17. I was so completely blown away I could not speak for several hours afterwards. Such a warm and gracious man too. First time I met was in Sydney. I was playing with my band at the Basement club. He called me out of the blue, I thought it was a prank by one of my band mates but it was him. He said “I heard your album Thinking Out Loud” and invited me to the Hilton downtown where he was playing the ballroom in a few nights time. We hung out for a few hours and he played my album and pointed out all the things he liked in real time. I’ll never forget that day. Then a day later he came early to my show and stayed for 2 full shows. I of course acknowledged his presence to the audience. He invited me to his show and somewhere in the middle of his show he acknowledged me to his audience. I was so surprised that he did that. He certainly didn’t have to. That just shows you the character of this kind and gracious man. I have seen him in concert many times over the years and always go backstage after to say “George, you are the greatest” because he his. ♥️♥️♥️😎🙏🙏🙏🎸🎸🎸☀️☀️☀️ Frank G
    2400
  89. Dear Sir Paul: If you’re reading this, please let Rick interview you. Thank you.
    2400
  90. This is a case where someone reveals all the magician's tricks, and the magic becomes even more astounding.
    2400
  91. Can we appreciate the fact that Rick nails every single note in a Frampton solo and makes it look easy? Great work, my man.
    2300
  92. Just so refreshing.... in an ADHD world, the fact that Rick can put up a 102 minute video and have us all watch it is nothing short of an astounding tribute to how good his content really is.... I've said it before.... Interviewing these rock legends in such a relaxed, conversational format is priceless! Thank you, Rick and to all of your guests for making the time to do all of this!
    2300
  93. I majored in music in college, so I knew all this. Just wanted to point out it's spot on AND...you get it here for free :-) I had to pay $80K to learn this haha! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!!!
    2300
  94. Robbie Buchanan posted this on FB: "Rick Beato made this video about "Never Gonna Let You Go," a Sergio Mendes cover of a great Barry Mann/Cynthia Weil song. He calls it "the most complex song ever." His tutorial is hysterical. Rick's facial expressions on the "new" chords as they come up are priceless. Go, Rick. you're awesome;). You even picked up on the Gb/C7 in the fade! (I actually snuck that one in on the date) "This is actually an arrangement I am quite proud of. "btw, I remember the day we recorded the song in the small room at Kendun Recorders in Burbank. it was so small that JR, Nate (East), Paul Jackson JR and myself were all in a tiny circle facing each other....no more than 4-6 feet away from each other. I had done the arrangement the day before and, for the rundown, they recorded it. THAT was the track. it was just one of those days when everyone was on...no fixes or punch-ins. Then Joe (Pizzulo) sang a "rough" vocal right after. THAT was the final lead too!!! crazy huh?"
    2200
  95. You're not just a music teacher, or creating music appreciation, you're a good storyteller and a good orator . Thats a big reason for your success.
    2200
  96. I do envy you. Not because of David Gilmour, but because you’re truly having the time of your life. Your eyes spark happiness. Spot on Rick, just spot on. Very well done, everything.
    2200
  97. Love seeing Mary here in person, I know she's in US but didn't know she was gonna be visiting you. Awesome seeing my favourite music YouTubers doing collabs like this, hope there will be more!
    2200
  98. Yes, please Rick. Make this series a permanent thing!
    2200
  99. Omg, this is the best video on YouTube ever! My favorite song analysed by Brian May himself and my favorite YouTuber!
    2100
  100. What a rare privilege to be able to witness this interview with the incomparable Jimmy Webb. You're performing such a service for the community of musicians and music-lovers everywhere, Rick. So appreciated.
    2100
  101. Rick, my father was in the audience at Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club in London for this performance. Dad's still alive.
    2100
  102. "What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value." - Thomas Paine
    2100
  103. I would say to people who are critical about him just talking about the trailer without seeing the movie: the whole point of the trailer is to SELL THE MOVIE. Time is valuable, and if I'm going to see a movie, I want to see something that I enjoy. If the trailer doesn't convince me that the movie will be worth my time, then I'll spend my time elsewhere. If the trailer didn't earn Rick's attention, then that's the fault of the people who hired the trailer editors. It isn't Rick's fault that the trailer didn't convince him that it was worth it to watch the whole film.
    2100
  104. Honestly Rick do not worry about going a little deeper on a certain aspect. Most of these videos could stand to be a little longer, your passion is what makes these videos great!
    2000
  105. You’re right! Billie Eilish has a similar cultural significance and impact. And for the naysayers, it’s an analogy (and one made by Dave Grohl no less), the style of music or whether she writes it all herself is irrelevant. She’s playing real music with minimal interference from outside sources…and like Nirvana, she seemingly came out of nowhere and reached the top of the charts, replacing much more manufactured slick pop and hip hop projects made by committee.
    2000
  106. This channel has turned into a University
    2000
  107. The biggest flex is Ricks’s sitting there talking about how he plays guitar holding his SIGNATURE GUITAR FROM GIBSON doesn’t even mention that … hahaha
    2000
  108. Rick, the synchronicity of you putting this out and then the world learning of Eddie’s passing the next day is just over the top. And the song Stairway to Heaven makes it even more significant. This was no mere coincidence, my friend. 2020 . . . It seems this was a perfect inadvertent send off for Eddie. May he Rest In Peace. 🤘🏼
    1900
  109. Licenses are taken very seriously in Georgia. If you get pulled over without your license, you immediately get transported to death row.
    1900
  110. Only Rick could get three legendary musicians in one place and make it feel like a lazy Sunday afternoon jamming with my mates.
    1900
  111. Got to see Tommy a few years ago live and it was amazing how his energy filled the entire room. Still in my opinion the best guitarist alive.
    1800
  112. When you think about quitting Rick, remember THIS is why you do it. Not only do you get to interview your heroes, but you get to bring those heroes to us. Thank you.
    1700
  113. In the future these Beato interviews will be part of the historical record of the greatest musicians of our time (thank you Rick)
    1700
  114. Rick is the only one I know that can get away with playing air guitar while holding a guitar and looking so natural
    1700
  115. Everyone in the comments have said this, but I just have to say it again. The level of this interview is mind-blowing. In a world in which every media person trivializes everything, out of sheer ignorance of course, to see this in YT gives one hope for the future of humanity. Wow, thank you!
    1700
  116. Past : Rick junior with a older Les Paul Now : older Rick with a Les Paul Junior
    1700
  117. Keep fighting the good fight, Rick. The copyright claim system is absolutely broke and in the favor of publishers, and Fair Use is basically just there to make us FEEL like we have some kind of power, which we don't.
    1600
  118. Rick rocking Met riffs. Gotta love it! 🤘
    1600
  119. And I thought I was the only man who cried listening to Joni Mitchell’s songs. I guess there is still hope for this world then!
    1600
  120. What a brilliant interview. Rick is an absolute treasure for those of us who live and breathe music.
    1600
  121. This channel has always been a masterpiece. It’s now becoming the one-stop source of great exclusive music content that we’ve always wanted. Rick, we all owe you big big time!
    1600
  122. Newsflash Rick...YOU are TV now! And what you're doing is every bit as good as anything Dick Cavett ever did!
    1600
  123. Let's all just take a moment to realise how fortunate we are to live in a time when we can sit on our couch and watch phenomenal content like this. In times past, unless you had industry contacts or went to an elite music school, there's no way you would have this kind of access to this kind of info and education. Thank you Rick, Tommy, and all those who work behind the scenes editing and producing to bring us this magical content. I've just come off a day-long bender of poisoning my mind with social media, hating myself and what the internet has become, and I see and hear this and suddenly I feel better about the world. Keep up the phenomenal work, folks. "If you get confused, just listen to the music play".
    1600
  124. Just so everyone realizes. Rick is making Zero $ from this video! It will be claimed by multiple artists and labels. He is doing this video, just for the heck of it. Enjoy people! Rare channel and person that would do a video like this! 😁👍
    1600
  125. This video is the most intellectually stimulating and informative hour of content I've watched in goodness knows how long. I have never heard these topics related to music framed in such a brilliant and well communicated manner. Anyone with any level of influence in the industry needs to hear what Ted is saying and really pay attention to it.
    1600
  126. I see Rick, I press like. I see Adam, I press like. I see them both, I get the kids of Netflix and play that on the main TV.
    1600
  127. Rick is doing more for modern music than the entirety of the industry machine combined.
    1600
  128. What I always appreciate about Rick, is that he actually let's his guests talk, he takes the back seat, makes it feel like you're sitting in on a cool conversation and not just an interview

  130. This is a fantastic use of your platform
    1500
  131. It’s no surprise Rick is able to pull such legendary guests. Rick is a legend himself.
    1500
  132. Very sorry brother. Sounds like a passionate and caring family.
    1500
  133. Love that you are talking about music again. No one talks about details in music in a more clear way than you do!
    1500
  134. I’m just 5 minutes and 13 seconds in, and as a ginormous fan of this man’s music for most of my life, this is by far the coolest and most interesting Sting interview I’ve ever seen. These are the types of questions we want to hear an interviewer ask him. This is an interview for musicians. Fantastic work, Mr Beato! 🏆
    1500
  135. I think Rick might be the most inspirational musician on YouTube.
    1500
  136. Watch YouTube demonetize this video because some guy with a funny name was in it playing an Avenged Sevenfold song note per note.
    1400
  137. Rick, since you know Gregg, you could ask him to try to schedule an interview with Ringo Starr, that would be historic.
    1400
  138. love how unstructured your drops are. one day its an hour interview with a musical virtuoso, the next its a 5 min video on a little chord. love that
    1400
  139. Everyone talks about Rick's knowledge and talent but he's also a superb interviewer. He lets the subject answer and elaborate and he asks questions that fans want to know. Excellent!
    1400
  140. Youtube is killing TV, and it's channels like yours, Rick, that are the reason. This is better content than 99% of what I can see on TV, better even than the majority of payTV content. Thank you for that
    1400
  141. Rick is music teacher to the whole world! What a gift! Thank you Nuno! Your honesty and enthusiasm are inspiring.
    1400
  142. Rick, you are the best story teller and how you bring education into a crazy story and make it interesting, entertaining and a learning experience. AMAZING!
    1400
  143. More of this. If even just for me. Love the vibe and everything about this Rick. FASCINATING and impossible to imagine. And that last part .. hearing it a 1/2 step down.......
    1400
  144. Mike Mills was R.E.M.’s secret weapon. Everyone knew Michael Stipe but Mike Mills could absolutely do it all. Great backing vocals, piano, bass, songwriting etc. He is a true genius and really put R.E.M. over the top! Excellent interview from Rick as always.
    1400
  145. what does he use to separate the audio tracks?
    1300
  146. This is most incendiary, batshit insane playing I have ever seen.
    1300
  147. Now THIS is what the internet is all about. SO DAMN COOL.
    1300
  148. For me, this is the real String Theory.
    1300
  149. the other day I was at a diner and a waitress took my order ... two eggs scrambled, rye toast ... light butter, coffee, black no sugar ... home fries lightly crispy .... I'm an incredible cook ....
    1300
  150. Looks like Rick stopped to get a haircut about 5 minutes into the video.
    1300
  151. Watching Rick go from talking about Hackintoshes 5 years ago to interviewing Billy, Joni Mitchell, Tim Henson, all these people... It's amazing. He was a music educator, touring musician, hired cover band guitarist, a producer, back to the internets favorite music educator and now he's the best rock journalist. Rick is a national treasure.
    1200
  152. I got a strike when I made an AC/DC lesson. It's such a frustrating issue, especially when it benefits the artist both in terms of ad money and increased exposure!
    1200
  153. My wife worked at the rehab facility in NJ where Keith was recovering from the stroke. She told me that every day he would go to the lobby and sit at the piano and play as part of his therapy. She had no idea who he was, but when she told me his name I could not believe it. Rick, this interview was just amazing and it’s great to see that Keith continues to do the thing he loves most which is to make magic come out of his piano.
    1200
  154. This has to be the most demystifying interview ever. His appreciation for life is admirable. Excellent video, Rick.
    1200
  155. I remember telling Rick - “just tell Mom and Dad your test scores were out of a possible 50 points”.
    1200
  156. Dude. You have a Gibson Signature Guitar. That’s one one of the coolest things that could possibly happen to a guitarist in any possible universe. What an acknowledgement of your talent. You are a class act Rick and you inspire this no-talent 56 year old guitar player stuck on the pentatonic scale in A-minor to continue to try and learn and improve. I feel like I know you because we’re close to the same age and all your lists are identical to mine. I literally shed tears when Neal Peart and EVH passed. Anyway, I wish you continued success and enjoy your videos because of your obvious love and enthusiasm for all things musical. And dude……….Gibson made you a Signature guitar with YOUR name on the headstock. That’s a life well lived.
    1200
  157. I don’t want to know stupid things about these legends, which is all talk show hosts will ever do, i want to know about the music that shaped my whole life. You are so much more important for hosting these talks Rick. Never stop!!!!!!!
    1200
  158. This is a perfect song.
    1200
  159. "It's an absolute delight compared to all the other interviews I have to do." That seems to be a theme with his guests. Rick is one of the best interviewers on YouTube.
    1200
  160. Rick, I must thank you for this. As a lifelong Metallica fan, Kirk is one of the main reasons I picked up the guitar. I’ve never seen an interview where he is as relaxed and comfortable as this one. Usually when he’s interviewed with his band mates, he’s quiet and reserved. It’s nice to see him speak so much and share his thoughts. Thank you Rick!
    1100
  161. Rick Beato has become the Ken Burns for good music of the past 100 years. What a legend. Thank you for this.
    1100
  162. You just cracked open a vault that interviewers have been working at for decades. Congrats Rick!
    1100
  163. This series is the best thing on YouTube. No question. Also, I want a shirt that says “I’m gonna call Seal and ask him”.
    1100
  164. THIS could be Ricks greatest air performance ever!...air timpani's, air drums, air Pete Townsend swoop guitar, and last but not least- air vocals!!!...fantastic!!!
    1100
  165. Pat is so articulate and thoughtful. JUST LIKE HIS PLAYING. This interview is gold. Thank you for making it happen, Rick.
    1100
  166. The point at 22:30 into this interview is WHY artists WANT to participate in these interviews and WHY we want to watch. Rick describes a voicing of an FMaj chord with a open B and a G# note that normally wouldn't be thought of to play together, that would normally sound somewhat dissonant on most guitars unless PERFECTLY intonated and perfectly played... Then Julian remembers the song and the chord being referenced and reproduces it and talks about the care required to get those strings to ring with that level of clarity, from finger pressure to strumming... What other interviewer on the PLANET has the listening focus and knowledge to pick up on that and raise it in an interview and elicit such insightful information from the artist?
    1100
  167. rick, you're on fire, i'm about to say ur doing better than mtv in its golden years
    1100
  168. These interviews are unlike any other. Besides knowing his stuff Rick is easy to talk to. His enthusiasm for the music is infectious.
    1000
  169. Can we talk about the well rounded content on this channel? Artist interviews song breakdown, industry peeks behind the curtain gear stuff and just awesome playing.
    1000
  170. Rick saying that the guitar won't be in tune and then it ended up being perfectly tuned was the best laugh I've had today. Thanks Rick!
    1000
  171. I love your videos so much!
    1000
  172. Rick, it's not just your videos we love,it's you. Your personality, demeanor, just an absolute professional on all levels. Thank you so much for all you do. 🙏🏻
    1000
  173. This young man represents the best of American Culture. Soul, respect for tradition and what came before, respect for the craft of musicianship and musicality, and making it his own. He carries the heart of American folk music, truly a beautiful thing to behold. Thank you Billy Strings and Rick Beato.
    1000
  174. What a story. Boy, this has been an incredible ride to watch. So happy for you Rick 😁🤘🏻
    1000
  175. Rick’s story telling ability 11 out of 10.
    1000
  176. You know, Rick, I gotta be honest. Around a year ago I wondered for how long you'd be able to keep coming up with video ideas and churning out quality content. It's amazing that you continue to do so and in many ways your channel gets even better with age. Please never stop making videos for us. It's so great to see the channel going from strength to strength. Youtube at its very best.
    1000
  177. Rick; I understand the talent you and your team have for putting these together but good lord, the preparation, the isolation tracks, the tablature (how to play or ear training) and research for putting these videos together is just absolutely amazing. I’m a lurker and rarely comment, I just wanted to let you know I enjoy them.
    1000
  178. Rick, I found out my mother passed about the same time you posted this, Pink Floyd was her absolute favorite band, she saw them in concert in the 70's. Thank you for your great work Rick. Sarah Catherine Cowart 1959-2024, Rest in Peace Mother you were my best friend and the most selfless caring person I have ever known.
    1000
  179. Thanks for having us Rick! Had a great time and can't wait to come and hang again!
    1000
  180. The smile on Brian’s face when Rick mentioned their music is still so popular to kids warmed my heart.
    1000
  181. I think Rick's idea of "doing anything but music" is just making sandwiches.
    1000
  182. Rick is a different interviewer than what artists have to put up with. Rick is not a journalist who has to do an interview with an artist he doesn’t like, or one that is full of himself, is provoking artists to get quotes to sell magazines or intentionally misquotes trying to cause a shitstorm for publicity. Rick is a musician himself and genuinely cares about the people he interviews and their art. It shows. And the artists see that. And then they let their guard down, because he is not one of the vultures they usually get.
    1000
  183. Underneath this incredible demonstration there was even a more important message: the father-son relationship, memories, the good stuff in life
    1000
  184. As complicated as these progressions are, it never SOUNDS crazy. Just flows. Weird!
    1000
  185. You gotta DIME it for this one! Honorable mentions: Beating Around the Bush, Walk All Over You, and Rock and Roll Ain't Noise Pollution
    1000
  186. Hey Rick, hope you see this... For what it’s worth from a random dude on the internet, I think you’re actually going to have a measurable impact on music by doing this channel. I’m such a huge fan of your channel, bought the book. You’ve already made such a huge impact on my playing / writing... I’ve already written a song that modulates from C to Bb Minor via an F7... I’ll die happy if people start bringing more thought and skill back into popular music again.
    1000
  187. I love the way your Rick'isms still shine through on these awesome riffs–great list man!!! My favorite tallica riff to play that is so easy yet so satisfying is the bridge of No Leaf Clover, right after the guitar solo... DUN DUN DUN, DUN, DUN DUN DUN, DUN DUN DUN DUNNNNNN
    1000
  188. Over The Hills And Far Away!
    995
  189. Rick is a curator of rock n roll. Maybe one of the most important people in music today. He’s fighting like hell to keep it relevant.
    994
  190. I'm glad I stayed till the end of the video to hear Rick's point about the decentralization of music... Incredibly astute!
    989
  191. Nice to see an interviewer who actually knows what he’s talking about.
    975
  192. As a lefty, this was super entertaining and pretty much how I've felt all my life trying to play right handed guitars. Put off getting a guitar for the first 23 years of my life, got one last year finally after deciding "screw it, I'll learn left handed despite how hard it might be (spoiler: not any harder than learning right hand.)" - Needless to say that was the best decision ever and learning guitar over the past year has been an absolute dream. I love the challenge and am so glad I committed to just getting a lefty after EVERYONE including the guy at my local music store warned me against it. It just feels absolutely unnatural to play right handed and with how many hours I clocked in on guitar hero on lefty mode as a kid, I really was naturally used to strumming with my left hand! Awesome video Rick and shoutout to Lefty guitarist across the globe!
    975
  193. I remember clearly when you recorded that solo on “Cardinal Motion”. You called me and played it for me over the phone.
    975
  194. Yes, an actual performance would be novel at this point :)
    971
  195. Ivan Davis was my piano teacher and a good friend of Martha Argerich. One of his stories was he couldn't make a competition and asked if she wanted to go instead. The piece to be played was the Prokofiev Toccata Op. 11. He said she sight read through it 2 times, and the 3rd time played at tempo from memory. There are just some musicians on a completely different level than the rest, really the same as Einstein or Fourier.
    963
  196. I remember Marcus Miller saying in an article, "Jaco's record never left my turntable... oh I played other records, I just put them on top"
    958
  197. Dropped everything to watch this interview. Mr. O'Brien produced literally every record I loved in the '00s. Thank you Rick for highlighting an incredible creator!
    941
  198. Rick and Tosin seem like the nicest people.
    940
  199. What a brilliant idea!! Fair play Rick - you are winning YouTube!! All the best from Lee
    939
  200. Note to self: If you're going to see a band, and an hour before the show, the guitarist overdoses or ends up in an accident, just call up Rick Beato. If he's a half hour away, he'll still have enough time to learn all of their songs. Then he'll have 20 minutes left before the show to chill out.
    924
  201. Thanks to Jimmy and Robert and management for allowing Rick's video, his superb enthusiastic and knowledgeable deep dive into this beautiful song. He is like an art critic appreciating a masterpiece, looking into the artist's technique, brush strokes and composition. The ultimate educational video maker on YouTube.
    905
  202. Rick: "This is going to be hard" Translation: "It's going to take me multiple seconds to learn"
    900
  203. "My dad was a simple man, he worked on the railroad." He knew who Joe Pass was and thought enough about it to buy you the record. Your dad might not have been as simple as you think.
    889
  204. I've been waiting for this one and it doesn't disappoint. Such a complex, sophisticated piece of music.
    886
  205. Can we take a moment to recognize what a phenomenal musical talent Rick is?
    886
  206. This video should be titled: "how to ENJOY music."
    883
  207. What an absolute legend, great interview Rick!
    882
  208. Seeing Rick jam out to a soul song and then immediately jumping to a ballad about a girl crying over a boy and jamming just as hard is why I love this series.
    877
  209. Jonny Buckland is a very underated guitar player
    875
  210. I was doubtful because she was pushed so hard a couple years ago. Out of the blue, You saw her name all over media, especially on Youtube. Then one day I was driving on one of my trips and I heard this song on the radio that I liked quite a bit, so I searched it out, it was by Billie Eillish. I searched out some more of her songs and can now say I'm eating crow for coming to conclusion before actually listening to her. She's pretty good.
    874
  211. Rick, I think you came to YouTube as a complete person. You lived a life, had different jobs, then decided to pass on your wisdom. You didn't have to concoct a personality to do what you do. You are comfortable with yourself. Younger YouTubers have almost none of those things.
    874
  212. I am one of the biggest Doors fans I know. This is the best Doors interview I've ever heard.
    871
  213. I saw Peter play live at a NAMM after party a few years back. He is a criminally underrated player. Absolutely gorgeous blues. So tasty 🤘🔥
    867
  214. The fact that Rick breaks down such an incredible span of rock songs for us, explains the musical components and production behind all of the parts, yet probably gets no money at all from YouTube because of demonitization, is really incredible. I love this series Rick, as an aspiring musician and a huge fanboy myself, I always look forward to these. Thank you!
    865
  215. Such an intelligent interview. I wish all interviews had substance like this.
    855
  216. He takes Johnny Cash, has him do a NINE INCH NAILS song, and he makes it sound like the Johnny Cashiest Johnny Cash song ever! That's Genius!
    853
  217. Only one man can interview in this way - genius! Soooo informative, interesting, fascinating, passionate. No journalist could do that, only a man with such a passion and knowledge of GOOD music. Thank you!
    848
  218. For me, this is more about watching Rick’s reaction than listening to what’s on the list.
    834
  219. I'll tell you something kind of funny although I'm sure it's more usual than we think. I'm basically a heavy metal/hard rock/prog guy from the 70's BUT I also grew up listening to Sinatra because of my father and uncle , so...everytime I listen to this day ANY Sinatra song I enter what I call a "Sinatra Streaming Rabbit Hole" and man it's really really tough to let go and come back to normal. Once Im listening to these extremely beautiful well arranged orchestral songs I feel I can't go back to my usual music. I don't know if anyone else can relate lol. Sinatra transports me to another time and another place, where everything is classier and dreamier than our reality.
    822
  220. Only Rick Beato could just simply call up Eric Johnson to play Stairway to Heaven
    820
  221. Hey Rick, I’m 17 and music has been my passion for more than half my life. I’m the age of the internet you can find both completely useless information but also, if you’re lucky you might come across a channel like yours. The things you teach on this channel impact more people in more amazing ways than you could know. Genuinely from the bottom of my heart. Thank you Rick. You’re an inspiration to many and your words are going to bless the art we create.
    818
  222. Rick Beato's WMTSG is just what I needed.
    817
  223. It is a travesty........a crime against civilized humanity....that Rick Beato has not interviewed Sir Paul McCartney!! Let's start a petition for this to happen. Who agrees and would petition Sir Paul to beg him to do the interview?
    815
  224. So sorry to hear of your loss. I lost my daughter to suicide 5 years ago. I understand a lot about it as well as there is so much we can never understand. That sometimes we just have to say I don't know and be content with that. Music continues to be part of my therapy and I am happy to say thankfully that your channel is a part of that. Love and healing. - Rob Agnello
    802
  225. This is officially my favorite video you've ever done.
    801
  226. I’m only at 4:52 and I have to stop and just say ... THIS is the kind of content that YouTube was created for. For Rick and friends to create and share this with the world is just an incredible gift to music fans. Thank you so much, Rick, for a spectacularly entertaining video. This is superb. Bravo!
    793
  227. Who does huge interviews with career sound guys? Beato does! This is ground-breaking, and amazing!
    791
  228. I’m currently playing in Frank’s band, and yeah, these heads are burning on guitar, but take some figuring and definitely 2 hands to play on keys! He and Dave Weckl share something that I love: the technique isn’t there to show off, it’s there to make everything flow naturally and easily, MUSICALLY, whatever it is. And he’s a nice cat! Who wears a fedora!
    790
  229. This is the single video I’ve been waiting for since YouTube started.
    786
  230. Look, I even haven't finished to watch the whole interview yet, and I can already say something based on what I just saw: as a huge MJK and Tool fan, I've literally never seen him so relaxed in an interview, and that says much about how rick can make simple yet very interesting questions. Wonderful job as always❤️
    786
  231. I've actually never seen anyone do a video or story on what it is like to testify before a committee of the House or Senate. This was great!
    782
  232. Even if your Jazz videos get fewer views, many of us still enjoy them :)
    779
  233. The fact that Rick did even mention her parents once and just spoke about the music shows why he's the best interviewer. Superb as always.
    778
  234. You're a hero without a cape, sir!
    776
  235. I’ve suffered from tinnitus for about 15 years now. It’s sucks and like you said the severity comes and goes. Hopefully one day we’ll get a real solution to the problem 🤞
    764
  236. I cannot tell you how refreshing it is to hear two grown men discuss topics in such a thorough, intelligent, respectful manner. Rick, thank you so much for your channel and all the content you put out! I could listen to you guys talk for hours on end!
    764
  237. Rick, what you are doing is increasing the musical IQ of everyone who takes your content seriously. Thank you. If music could write, it should write you a 'thank you' note!
    763
  238. To this day, his masterclass I had the privilege to attend at GIT was the most inspiring lecture or speech I ever experienced. He did it twice. And his approach to visualizing the instrument is truly otherworldly. I remember him explaining how he realized (while relearning from himself) that everything is either a triangle w 3 connection points (augmented) or a square with 4 connection points (diminished). Still trying to figure it out :) RIP Pat.
    761
  239. Hey Rick, don’t know if you’ll see this but I have something awesome to share. I wanted to go into music theory because of your videos, so I did. Now I’m in college in music theory. I was talking to my professor about your videos and he said that you were his professor when he went into college. What are the odds of that?
    760
  240. God Rest your father’s soul, Rick. In imparting his love of high-information music to you, he had no idea he’d be impacting MILLIONS of lives in the future. That’s a hell of an achievement for a non-musician.
    758
  241. Bottom line is, it’s hard to beat an SG into that Laney.
    756
  242. The difference between this and something like a late night show interview is pretty astounding. Rick knows the material, knows the gear, and is able to sidestep some of the questions that have been asked of David dozens of times. It was especially interesting for me to learn about his mixing process, how he makes demos and gear specifics. Really insightful and personable interview.
    756
  243. Martha Argerich visited the house of my parents when I was 6 or 7 years old. This must have been in the beginning og the 60ies. She had been looking for a place to practice during the days while she was rehearsing and performing a concerto with the local orchestra (Philharmonia Hungarica) to which we were connected. My parents had offered her their humble upright piano which she accepted gladly. When she came to us we all were stunned by her sheer beauty and the overwhelming force of her personality. We were of course fascinated by listening through the closed door to that exuberant playing. There had never been such devine music sounding in our living room before. I remember when she after some extensive practicing said goodby to us, took me in her heartfull manner, embracing me and kissing me on my chin. Many years later I often thought that this must have been for me the kiss of the muse itself. I had a fine life in music myself, but of course on a much smaller scale than the devine Martha Argerich.
    750
  244. LOVE that you're doing a podcast Rick! Extra points for using your speaker cabs as legs for the table :)
    750
  245. Grey hair balding mullet , bifocals , deep voice , dressed in comfy clothes , white sneakers , lil overweight , always seem pissed off or ready to tell you were you're wrong ....... If you know , you know ! That's a SOUND GOD right there !
    748
  246. An hour with Tom would be gold Rick.
    746
  247. Man, how cool is that?! The power of the internet to make true connections. So happy for you both. And dude. You were on Eric’s podcast?!?!? I LOVE it.
    743
  248. The fact that you put the importance of content over currency is exactly why you have 1.6 million subs Rick. Hold your values bro, it's appreciated!
    742
  249. This was fun!
    741
  250. Rick: "Full disclosure, I can't sing." Us: "We don't care."
    738
  251. You aren't a YouTuber Rick. You are a true music educator. A teacher in the truest sense of the word. Keep doing what you do man. 🎸❤️
    731
  252. Could not think of a better suited person to get Maynard to relax and open up about his artistic life. Way to go Rick!
    729
  253. It is absolutely incredible how much Rick Beato has done for music in the last several years. The world owes him.
    729
  254. Beato is so knowledgeable and presents with such enthusiasm he could run a segment on the Banana Splits or Milli Vanilli and I would think they were the greatest artists of all time.
    726
  255. Rick Beato is the Alan Lomax of our age. You are getting it all on the public record for all of us. Hats off to you, Rick. These interviews are a piece of history.
    714
  256. Rick: "I'm gonna ask Seal myself" Me: "Haha good on... WAIT WHAT?"
    711
  257. Rick you are literally creating history with your channel. In an era where music is made into cheap fast junk food content and noone cares about the magic of it, you interview legends and create HOPE and INSPIRATION. Thank you! Dont give in to robots and the industry people!
    708
  258. It's pretty obvious to me that Rick has 47 hours in his day while the rest of us mortals have only 24. That is the only way to explain how he can master so many aspects of music and still have time to record a thousand videos every month. Absolutely insane!!
    708
  259. Rick has officially become that one teacher in high school that's read hundreds of writing works and is not surprised by the lack of creativity, proper structure/grammar, effort and imagination from the students. And when a student finally gives that one project that's proof read, edited and the student has put all they got into it, it's greeted by with 10:43

  260. Rick's interview style is unparalleled - he lets the person interviewed talk without interruption. He listens and bases his questions on what's being said - he doesn't make you feel he's just waiting for a pause to ask the next question on his list. A joy to listen to.
    702
  261. “If it was released today, I’d say ‘wow.’” I think that nails it. If the music still sounds fresh and alive, people will keep enjoying it, no matter how old it is. That’s why some music that’s 500 years old is still popular, and some music that came out last year has already been forgotten.
    701
  262. There are a couple of film score composers who have a big social media presence. Thomas Newman is not one of them, there’s not very much on him out there for those of us that are fans. You have filled a real void here, thank you sir!
    699
  263. Rick's shuttering every time a guitar rift starts is hilarious. Reminds me of a grandpa being awaken from a nap.
    694
  264. Welcome to the UK! Hope you enjoy your visit!
    691
  265. Well after watching this entire interview, one word comes to mind…..Professional. Chuck is everything you would ever want in a musician. What an incredible interview. I love the way Rick does his interviews. He poses a question and just sits back and lets the guy talk with no interruptions. Chuck did 98% on the talking in that interview and he was awesome.
    682
  266. Dude, I am not worthy! This channel is better than anything on any channel, streaming, broadcast, etc anywhere. The quality of these interviews is beyond excellent. It is an honor to simply be in this audience.
    681
  267. I came here expecting a guitar solo, but wasn't disappointed.
    680
  268. Oh damn that's way too close for comfort 😳
    668
  269. To Johnny Diamond, facilitator of dreams. May he find his peace in the everlasting music of the universe.
    667
  270. You missed your calling Rick, you're a natural story teller. Actually, now that I think about it, that's exactly what you're doing with this channel. Cheers for sharing...
    661
  271. Honestly just the pure joy you radiate when talking about this song or music in general lifts me up so much. I love how open minded you are to all kinds of genres and you really broaden my taste. Keep it up, you're amazing.
    660
  272. Rick I am by no means a musician but I have greatly enjoyed music for decades. I want to thank you for greatly deepening my appreciation for music. You have helped me rediscover the richness of good music and heightened my appreciation for the construction/composition of good music. In short, you have made my life better. Thank you.
    657
  273. He just started the video with the hardest groove of Demiurge, Rick has ascended
    656
  274. Steely Dan are truly one-of-a-kind. No other band could've written something like Josie. The entire Aja album is phenomenal. Peg, Josie and Deacon Blues are especially killer. 👌
    653
  275. He shall now be called "Rick Fury", cause that guy has brought together the Avengers of prog!
    651
  276. Rick, as a journalist, I really appreciate you allowing the guest to fully explain their answer before following up with another question. That is so important because often times the brilliance comes out at the very end. Also, with regard to Skunk, he has some of the greatest and most iconic leads in the history of music. How do I know? Because I can play them in my head fifty years later!
    643
  277. Rick using the term Boomer gives me life 💥🙌
    634
  278. Possibly thee most incredible interview I've ever seen. The man is a living legend. He seems like the most humble and gracious person. A genuine star,with no ego.
    632
  279. Rick, this is the loosest and most relaxed Al interview I've ever seen. I believe this is due to being comfortable in his own home, and his respect for you. He knows you're the real deal. Fantastic stuff - thank you for this.
    623
  280. Rick, you started your career as a musician, while in the future you’ll be remembered as a prominent historian
    620
  281. Your facial expressions are gold.
    620
  282. I vividly remember you turning me in to this record when it came out. Telling me to pay attention to the production. Still incredible.
    619
  283. Rick is such a great interviewer. Why? Because he listens to what people have to say, without imposing an ‘angle’ and gives them room to talk. That is so rare these days. Brilliant interview with a superb drummer.
    619
  284. I have to echo a previous commenter, this is what the internet was meant for. It's what humanity is for. Thank you so much Rick for sharing this with us. I was at that Wichita jazz festival with my high school jazz when Pat played with Gary Burton. I have been an avid fan since and loaned my Pat Metheny records to many young aspiring guitar players as required studying of how to develop a melody. Thank you Pat for all you've given us. As an aside, I don't know if you are in to this musician but, I think a good subject for an interview might be Ralph Towner. He has composed and played some beautiful songs and is a music educator. His band Oregon was a lesser known component of the jazz-classical-fusion scene but an important one none the less.
    618
  285. We need more guys like Lukather and Beato who fight for real music and for the real artists. The schlock today in the Top 40 is transient - no one will remember it 40 years from now.
    615
  286. I say it every time time ,but Rick could give a master class on how to conduct an interview with a musician. A true joy to watch.
    611
  287. Hey, Rick, I’m Ken Brown’s older daughter! I’m a studio violinist in Nashville now :) Thank you so much for your shoutouts to my dad and Fairport! Means so much coming from you!
    611
  288. Daltrey in my opinion went to another level with his vocals on this song.
    609
  289. Arguably your greatest interview yet. What a charming, warm, smart, talented, interesting, humble, wonderful man. And you conducted your interview perfectly, letting Dominic go... letting him teach and recall and PLAY. Thanks for hitting it out of the park yet again, Rick.
    606
  290. She is. Not sure why that's so hard for everyone to grasp. Like Kurt Cobain, she tapped into the angst and pain that her generation felt (Gen Z/Y vs Gen X), and made meaningful, real music that was both subversive and relatable. The level of mass appeal that both have reached worldwide is on the same level as well, and are both iconic in their own ways. And like Kurt, she blew away all the fake, dumbed down, narcissistic music that dominated the charts previously (hair metal vs. modern pop).
    604
  291. Dang. That was so satisfying!!!!
    604
  292. Such humility and talent all wrapped into one package, He's a quiet genius and I respect that so much.
    602
  293. I was the engineer at Southern Tracks and worked w Bud on those records from 1995-2001. Definitely a great experience and the best environment possible to learn how to make records. I can offer a few additional technical bits. Room mics when I started were Lawson 47 and we soon after got a pair of Coles 4038’s. Drops Of Jupiter piano was a C-24 into a Focusrite ISA pre followed by an 1178. I wired the Y cables for toms. The split side was wired pin 3 hot. The output of the 57 was a bit lower than the 421 which provided the right balance between the two. We used the stereo SSL channel comps for drum sub sometimes. Fatso was used a lot too.
    599
  294. This is The best tribute to Jeff Beck. RIP. Thank you Mr. Rick Beato
    592
  295. I listened to a whole heap of Sting growing up, he broadens the musical mind. He was on a prime time show here in the UK a few weeks back, the interview style was questionable, I'd rather have watched this! Great stuff Rick!
    587
  296. Rick Beato continues to leave us as a legacy for posterity what by now is an encyclopedia of interviews of the best musicians of our time. We all should be grateful for this man.
    586
  297. HAA! Great Format! Good stuff. As long as you're here Rick we are NOT doomed!
    585
  298. Just thought to throw this out there: APC actually shared this on their twitter!
    582
  299. I love your channel, you go through Metallica to jazz, sting and other genres without prejudice. Good music has no limits. Greetings from Brazil.
    581
  300. You’re The Godfather of YouTube music theory. You’ve helped me de-plateau so many times. Thank you.
    579
  301. This is the best interview I have ever seen with Kirk. Rick’s style of letting the respondee talk without interruption is so rewarding, plus his knowledge about music and tech... Without Lars and James in the room taking over the conversation you see the multitude of depths in this old hero of mine since 35 years back. Now I see why Brian May was nervous about being interviewed by Rick! 👍🏻
    576
  302. VERY important record for me. Freshman year in college for God's sake! Who could've asked for more than that?
    572
  303. Awesome video !! I like a lot all of them but I have my favorites ...Maro and Lari.
    572
  304. If you've followed Rick from his whiteboard days, this is a landmark interview. Imagine being able to sit down with Bernard Herrmann or Henry Mancini, play their own music to them and have them talk about it. This is the equivalent in my view. I'm in my 30's but I really hope younger people understand how special this is. I'd seen the odd interview with composers growing up but always by a journalist (asking non composition based questions) and never by someone with as much knowledge in composition as Rick. I'm blown away by this.
    571
  305. Also: Humbuckers: hamburgers Single Coils: hot dogs P90’s: bratwursts
    570
  306. PS--This is why when I opened Beato Book 4.0, it scared me all to hell and back. My doctors want me to return to playing guitar, and I thought that before I die, I should learn music theory to assist protecting my memory. Well, turning short-term memory into long-term and instinctive memory is quite a challenge. Add in building street rods, working during school as a mechanic and building and maintaining open wheel race cars and driving and crashing them, and my hands at 74 are a mess. I will not give up.
    565
  307. People get claimed for having silence in their videos sometimes because there is similar white noise silence in a copyrighted song or video elsewhere. The whole system is completely asinine and it only gets worse over time. Patreon, merch, and other product sales are the only reliable ways a musician can make money from Youtube. Basically you can't count on any money from youtube itself.
    563
  308. I think it would be more interesting to see you pick your top 10 out of the top 50 or 100.
    560
  309. I love that Rick is documenting the old guard but also showing us the new guard at the beginning of their mastery, which establishes a baseline. This will be an essential library of musicians.
    551
  310. A musical career is quite a difficult one to commit to for a multitude of reasons in this day and age, but you are quite an inspiration to us all Rick. Thank you for all you do
    548
  311. Man. Rick you’re like the “Sting” of explaining music, songs, artists and theory. No one can do what you do the way that you do it. You’re uncopyable
    547
  312. I feel you on this man, had my fair run with these problems. I totally understand the claims, but why anyone would wanna block/ take down or issue strikes is beyond stupid. Like... why not just take the money and leave the video up??? What's the point in trying to hide the music from promotion or praise in your case. So stupid man. Hope you can get this one sorted.
    545
  313. How amazing would be if Rick interviewed Max Martin???
    542
  314. Two modern guitar giants in one room, so magical. Amazing video Rick.
    540
  315. You enrich a lot of lives Rick
    537
  316. I had no idea about your academic background- it totally explains why you’re so good at making complicated concepts seem so simple.
    535
  317. "The rest is just the same, isn't it?" - Mozart to Salieri in a scene from "Amadeus" It would be brilliant to have Tom Hulce in character as Mozart rating the Spotify Top 10
    535
  318. I love this new phase of Rick, doing all these great interviews. We might not realise now, but in 20-30 years from now, when most of these musicians will not be playing or not be around anymore, this will be pure gold. This is an historical document as important as their records.
    535
  319. Two Ricks. Both living their lives devoted to their music. Two Ricks: Couldn't be more diverse in their approaches to music production. Two Ricks; both at the top of their game, yet going in very different directions. Two Ricks. Both masters of the 'obstetric art' of delivering the best musical expression an artist can create. Two Ricks. Exploring one's phenomenal journey from 'mere fan' to Mogul. Two hours - of two Ricks savoring a conversation for the ages, for all of us to enjoy and maybe learn something from. Thank you two Ricks, for one great episode! I really found myself more engaged than I expected to.
    534
  320. Honestly and truly, Sting has never had a great interview until now. This is the definitive edition. Well done to Rick Beato. It takes a musician to know how to get Sting to talk about Music.
    533
  321. An absolutely world-class interview. A deep-dive into the career, creative process, and musical theory of one of the greatest pop songwriters / performers of all time, told in the first person by Sting, along with the great Dominic Miller. Rick not only knows music, he knows how to do a killer interview. Simply jaw-dropping. Thank you Dominic, Rick, and Sting, for this amazing gift.
    530
  322. Swervedriver....either you love them, or you've never heard of them.
    527
  323. There isn't another YouTube channel dedicated to music like this channel. Rick has so many topics and areas of experience and expertise to draw from which makes his channel truly unique. Every video is a joy to watch. Cheers from Ottawa, Canada.
    525
  324. My daughter is 21, and she damn well knows who Prince is
    525
  325. I think you could argue that John Williams had a far greater impact on the popular culture of his lifetime than any other composer in history. No other composer's work has touched as many people. There have been better composers, but how many could say that billions of people have heard and loved their work.
    521
  326. No other interviewer can get musicians to open up about their music and process the way Rick does. The mutual respect blows past the defences these guys erect to get through regular interviews.
    519
  327. I sit stunned at these interviews. I've met Rick twice briefly at NAMM shows (2019 and 2020), and he was polite, friendly, and gracious. I've watched his channel for years and love it all. These interviews are beyond what anyone could ever hope for. The people are willing to sit down and talk to Rick; they open up. They respect the interviewer. This interview, it's unbelievable. As always, my hat is off. Good on you, man.
    517
  328. I think Rick might be the best interviewer of all time. I've never seen anyone consistently get so much information and enthusiasm out of their interviewees. He just seems to know how to unlock it all.
    516
  329. You probably won't see this, Rick, but i went down a Jerry Finn rabbit hole for the last couple of hours because of you, consuming everything there is online I could find about him. I know it was kind of a throwaway line, but you are honoring his legacy by shining a light on him, and that is what musical appreciation is all about. Dookie , Enema of the State , and All Killer No Filler ? A punk trifecta. <3
    513
  330. I am not a musician, just a listener. So much of this content went over my head but the sheer joy of Christoper and Rick is something you never ever see in interviews. Rick is not only supremely knowledgeable about his subject but has a talent for letting the interviewee bring that out. The real beauty of these interviews is that the artists don’t have to be on guard. There are no ‘celebrity’ gotcha questions. We are just listening to them talking about their passion, none of the personal stuff that every other interviewer in the world is seeking. For this reason I hope you get many more of these opportunities to talk to artists of Christopher’s calibre and that these interviews become an archive for future generations.
    512
  331. It's a tribute to Rick's reputation that artists like Billy Howerdel would give him access to the tracks like this. Amazing!
    512
  332. Little known fact: Mike was an advocate for addicts in NYC. After his own troubles with coke, and finally kicking the habit ( along with Stern, Sco, and a bunch of other NYC players), he spent part of his time helping others get clean.
    509
  333. And now, if there's any doubt about, Rick is officially the coolest guy on youtube... why he dared keeping in secret his friendship with freaking Chris Jericho? 🤣😍
    508
  334. Rick, I'm really sorry you're still dealing with this with as influential and huge as you've become. I fight every single copyright on my channel, and it's exhausting. In the process, I've made quite a few connections with record labels and distribution companies. If you ever need anything, please reach out!
    508
  335. Here's a man with encyclopedic knowledge, tremendous talent and that has interviewed, played with and worked with music industry legends - yet speaks with absolute candor on self-doubt over his career evolution. This channel doesn't just teach you about music, it teaches you about life.
    508
  336. What I like the most about Rick Beato is how he appreciates all kinds of music. It doesn't matter if it's something complex or very simple, he always gets the best of it and helps us all to appreciate it too. Please, Rick keeps that humbleness and passion, you are simply the best.
    508
  337. These Interviews are historical artefacts of another league in times to come. Pretty sure very few of us alive can comprehend what service to the arts and to humanity Rick is doing here.
    505
  338. When the cicada beat is not a copy&paste for the millionth time, but played by a real person: A R T
    503
  339. This just might be the most educational channel and series for musicians anywhere. As a player, composer, and producer I get so much from these. Thanks a lot Rick for doing you 😎
    503
  340. Rick sits in the sweet spot between a massive first-hand knowledge of everything music for the past 40+yrs and a deep understanding of how newest technologies affect the industry. This man is a rare kin and most people don't realise.
    502
  341. This song is legit genius. Coming up with all of those progressions is one thing, but making it into a coherent song with nice singing parts, that's skill, man.
    501
  342. I showed this video to my daughter, who is diagnosed with dyslexia and ADHD; we both loved it. Thank you for sharing.
    500
  343. Rick is the Oprah of music. Always asking the perfect question to allow THE GUEST to be the expert. He never makes it about himself, but only allows the guest to shine. This is how you educate and entertain at the same time. Premier Guitar should take note
    499
  344. This song affects me like few others. David Crosby played this when I saw him with my dad a few years ago. I think I had only seen my dad cry once before in my life. He didn't even cry when we found out his cancer was terminal or as he went through the dying process. But he cried when he heard David sing this song.
    499
  345. I wonder how many people watching this realize what an incredible talent Rick actually is.
    499
  346. Julian Bream, a hero of mine. I just love how wide ranging Rick’s tastes are. I’m with you on this man!
    497
  347. Dude. I'm so pumped to see the Phish camp support your efforts Rick. Excellent work. Perhaps the tides are finally turning!!
    497
  348. Rick: This riff is difficult for an older guy like me Also Rick: Plays flawlessly
    494
  349. Last night my wife was deleting shows from our DVR and she was going to delete Talking Dead and I was like "DON'T Delete that Episode! It has Rick Beato on it!" She was like RIck who? "Just DON'T delete it!"
    491
  350. How do we nominate a YouTube video for Best Documentary at the Academy Awards? Watching Mr. Jarrett listen to himself play Solar was an incredibly touching experience. Thank you so much to everyone who made this happen. 🙏
    490
  351. The fact that Symphony No. 9 possibly could’ve been intended to be in Db rather than D is mind blowing and we are not making a big enough deal of this
    488
  352. You know what's great about this interview? Rick didn't interrupt Ted like so many other interviewers do. Only short affirmations that he's listening, and following what Ted is saying. It's like the 10+ minute song of interviews.
    486
  353. How sharp is Ron’s mind at 84 is MINDBLOWING. What a treasure he is.
    485
  354. My two favourite guys together. With guitars. And amps. What's not to like? Brilliant. Thank you both for having fun in the studio!
    485
  355. 1. Former Favorite Artist Apathy 2. Fallen Fandom 3. Lapsed Fan Syndrome 4. Fallen Favorite 5. Fallen Fandom Fatigue 6. Waning Worship Disorder 7. Past Passion Paralysis 8. Obsolete Obsession Condition 9. Forgotten Favorite Dysfunction 10. Former Fascination Fatigue
    483
  356. I love that you explained what flexing was haha. Never crossed my mind that some folks might not know what that means
    482
  357. Absolutely jaw-dropping--Bloomfield and Zappa jamming in the front of the store, and freakin' Segovia comes in to get his Ramirez fixed for his gig that night at Carnegie Hall, telling a teenaged Skunk Baxter in Spanish to tell those guys to stop hanging their guitars around their necks like canoe paddles. Are you kidding me right now? Then he goes on to play legendary solos on some of the most legendary recordings ever. And then he sincerely says at the end he's surprised anybody's interested in anything he has to say lol. I hope Rick recognizes how important it is what he's doing right now, documenting these incredible conversations with these incredible musicians. Please keep doing this, man!
    479
  358. We can feel your passion and simultaneously your pain! This is complete Bull***t Rick! Not only is it fair use but also it's completely beneficial to the artist (especially if they claim the money) from building new audiences and making the music relevant again. Sorry you had this strike!
    477
  359. I clicked for Heavy Metal but stayed for Rick's facial expressions and upbeat energy
    477
  360. I was a full-time NYC studio musician back in the day. I was on the B-list:- about 120 musicians who took the work the A-list musicians (about 15-20 individuals) didn't have the time to do. Really good money but the pressure was terrible. One strike, and you were OUT. The producers usually enjoyed letting you know there were 10,000 guys waiting to take your job. I got tired of the strain and became a music instructor. Not as exciting but music became fun again. Be careful what you wish for if you want to continue loving music.
    475
  361. Rick, thank you for this incredible tribute to my father in law, Ken Brown. He is so very proud to have been your teacher, and the teacher of so many others.
    474
  362. Rick puts his pants on one leg at a time just like everyone else, except when he gets his pants on, he makes Gold Records!
    472
  363. Beato chugging a 7 string Atilla riff is the best thing I've seen this year!
    472
  364. Rick beato is the only YouTuber with his finger truly on where musicians musical interest is. I love this channel. Plini is phenomenal. Great to see great musicians getting some exposure from someone whose now gaining some clout on YouTube.
    470
  365. So articulate and well spoken. No cursing etc. I appreciate someone who speaks in a manner that small children can listen to and enjoy.
    470
  366. This is one of the best YouTube videos I’ve seen in a while. Three reasons. 1. Reverence: Thanks Rick for giving oxygen to the legends that have gone before. I think it’s so important and this video is a special example. Amazing. 2. Reaction: The look on Rick’s face when he is watching NHOP on screen is priceless. Pure joy Rick Beato. We see how much you love this. 3. Rememberance: Not sure if that’s a word but I’m going for three “r:”s so I’m sticking to it. Thank you for sharing the very special story of how you shared music with your Dad. My Dad made his living from music. He’s gone now but music is the thing we shared and was the unspoken bond between us. That bit really resonated with me obviously. Thank you Rick Beato. Love what you’re doing. Please keep doing it...:
    468
  367. This show is really something special and unique. I really feel like this is the ultimate platform a musician can tell his musical journey like two musicians talking . It’s not a commercially motivated sales gimmick. I hope it grows into this direction continuing from here.
    468
  368. Love this Hypes! Very old school “Everything Music” topic.
    466
  369. The great thing about this interview is that Rick establishes his cred in the first five minutes. The look on Sting's face at 4:37-4:40 is priceless. He has probably never had an interviewer that could perfectly outline the chord structure to his songs and comment on why it is so good.
    465
  370. So beautiful to watch this. The beauty of her playing gave me so much hope. Almost brought me to tears.
    465
  371. I love Rick Beato's interviews because he does something that usually a lot of people miss. He lets the interviewed speak. no interruptions, no "yeah yeah yeah, but this is what i think" , no disrespecting, no stuff like that. i love it
    463
  372. This is why Rick Beato's content is worthy and relevant and poignant and educational and ... yes ... entertaining. All at the same time.
    462
  373. They literally should pay you for promoting their music to a much larger audience than they would ever get on their own. I once got demonetized for playing some of Luis Milan's 6 Pavana's on my livestream. A 500 hundred year old piece. It's been "public domain" longer than America has been a country. Who could possibly own the copyright to it? Turns out a florist in Ohio, who used the piece in their promotional video. Insane.
    462
  374. Check this out: I’m Argentinian, am an opera singer, I live in Buenos Aires. Last year I was supposed to do this concert. Les Noces by Strawinsky. 4 singers, 4 pianos, choir and percussion. One of the pianist would have been Martha, I was about to sing with her... couldn’t believe it, and guess what...? Fucking pandemic. Of course it got cancelled. And I don’t think they’ll be reprogramming it since Martha’s schedule is pretty full as you can imagine. One of the biggest disappointments of my life. One of the many losses working wise of these past two years. But that opportunity won’t be coming back. At least I don’t think it will. Cheers, Rick. Great channel and thank you for speaking of her. Is a big source of pride over here.
    459
  375. This video feels deeply personal. There are truly so many productions of Rick’s that feel this way. This one in particular hits home on a different level. I feel the blessings have been returned and I’m forever grateful. The truth is that your content reaches so many more people this way than just me alone. I love this online community. I think most us here would agree that we feel a strong connection to one another. And that is what community is all about. I raise my glass to anyone who reads this. Cheers
    458
  376. Of course Hypes has to learn EVERY solo, :). Ten minutes of guitar solos... "Homeric!"
    458
  377. My wife had mitral valve surgery in 2014. She's now 76 and as strong and healthy as ever. All the best to you Rick!
    453
  378. I love how Rick, a phenomenal guitarist himself, just gives Tim the space and spotlight while Rick kind of acts like the cheering section. What a gracious host! Best stuff on YT!
    453
  379. Rick pulling out his No 1 Country song plaque had me rolling 😂😂😂
    450
  380. Dude, the guitar solo in Cardinal Motion is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard - can't stop listening!
    449
  381. This is the kind of interview/convo that any and every musician should watch. We're so lucky these guys take the time to make these videos for us
    449
  382. I just joined the Beato Club to support your work since this strike is unjust. Having said that......YOU SHOULD APPEAL THE CLAIM. Your videos ARE fair use and there's case law to support it. If you file a counter claim they will drop your strike and the video will be restored. Or they will have to take you to court, which they won't do because they will lose and it isn't worth their time.
    448
  383. I love when Rick says “Yeah kinda tricky to play” then proceeds to play it perfectly! 😂 love to see this series back!!
    447
  384. Not a musician at all but dear lord watching Rick desconstruct music is one of the greatest joys in YouTube.
    444
  385. Over the last several years there has been this snarkiness pointed towards U2, a desire to minimize them, I think because of the romantic sweep of there sound. I think people view some of the elegance especially in Bono's vocal aesthetic as arrogance. U2 are unique and important, everyone in this band are monsters of their craft, their art, They make ART.
    443
  386. Rick, this is a patient, charming, gentle way to say - if you're going to accuse me of using anyone else's stuff (as though that's a bad thing), then get it right and make it Bach. THIS is educational, intelligent. And cool.
    443
  387. My god. I’m speechless….this interview is so important. Another person’s comment called it a ‘ historical document’, that’s exactly right. I was just mesmerized listening to what it was like being there. I own all the records you guys are talking about. This interview will add so much to my listening. Thank you, Ron. Rick, I think your channel has become important to musicians with music theory, playing, history and analysis…this interview takes your mission and channel to the next level of importance IMO. Well done my friend.
    442
  388. As someone who works in IT I just wanted to say: The Y2K bug was a SERIOUS issue. The only reason "nothing happened" was because there were millions of dollars and thousands of work hours put into upgrading systems so that nothing would happen. It's entirely a myth that the bug was blown out of proportion. The risks were very real and very dangerous and it was a world wide concerted effort that kept things functional going into the new millennium. This is a perfect case of "If you do your job well, people won't know you've done anything at all."
    442
  389. Love that she is completely up front about the way she makes music, that it's completely collaborative , she is constantly shouting out people who are helping her along the way .
    440
  390. I was in a band in high school. Rick went to the same high school, same class. I knew who he was, but we ran in different circles. Here I am 40+ years later and I can't express how much I appreciate what he's doing for music or how impressed I am with his knowledge and content.
    440
  391. I just watched the interview conducted by Rick Beato with Sting and Dominic Miller. Rick has this wonderful way of engaging Sting and Dominic while disarming them at the same time. At the start of the interview, both Sting and Dominic were cross-armed and possibly a little tense, not knowing what to expect, but Rick warmed to the series of questions he skillfully posed to both musicians allowing the kettle to breathe. By the end of the interview, all were laughing and seemed to be enjoying themselves immensely. Questions were asked regarding Sting's writing, composing process, his chordal's genius, key choices, while also homage to The Beatles and Bach were noted. Rick was even able to coax Sting and Dominic to play a track off of the new album. This interview worked because Mr. Beato is a musician at heart; having trained on the bass and guitar, he understands harmony and chord structure. He has a genuine love for Sting's music and, in his way, nurtures that legacy further. I previously enjoyed Rick's interview with Peter Frampton. These interviews may be a new direction for you, Rick. I believe the door will be opened to further interviews with other musicians regarding the success of this interview with Sting and Dominic Miller. Well done!
    440
  392. God, even Rick's High School PUNK band were good musicians. Nicely done sir!
    439
  393. For Jarrett to be so clearly comfortable with an interviewer is quite an accolade for Rick. The Beato interviews are well on the way to being the greatest of all time - soon it will be every top musician queueing to be next on Rick's list! And that choice of "Solar" was a phenomenal superhuman performance.
    437
  394. Rick, I typically never comment on anyone's videos but felt compelled too after watching this. I personally think this one of the best, if not the best interview with Sting I've ever seen. He was thoughtful, fully engaged and humble. I believe that's because he knew you were sincere, extremely knowledgable and the massive fan of his, and music in general, that you are. Like many others are saying here, congratulations Rick! Really well done.
    436
  395. Damn Rick it seems impossible to me to know someone like you, so well educated in all kinds of music Theory. If one day I got to own at least a 10% of your knowledge/skills and apply it to my Playing I would certainly be Happy with the musician I will Become. Thanks in advance.
    434
  396. Best line EVER!! “This sounds nothing like anything on here. Because it sounds like a song.” And then that smirk! Bwahahahaha!!!! Rick kills me 😂
    433
  397. There is a reason you have over 2 and a quarter million subscribers Rick, the world is full of people who appreciate great music. The way you break it down is priceless, and I appreciate every single moment you spend on these songs. Thank you, and please don't give the length of your WMTSG breakdowns a second thought, we are all fine with it!
    432
  398. I have relistened to this interview along with a number of other interviews by you. All I can say is "FINALLY!!" someone who can properly interview musicians. No questions of favorite food or how to categorize music. Only intelligent questions by a subject mater expert. You have no idea how good these interviews are. Years from now, they will be considered the gold standard of music interviews...
    430
  399. just the fact that I'm a 27 years old Chilean guitarrist who's been watching you channel for at least 3 years should tell you something about the masive impact your channel has had on musical education worldwide. Love your channel Rick, I hope you get to 4M soon!
    428
  400. I'm not a religious man nor an envious man but Abbey Road is the only location on the planet that counts as holy ground and I am very envious of Rick seeing its doors swung wide open to greet him. However, if it can't be me getting this guided tour, I can't think of anyone more suited to get this visit and be able to convey the experience to the rest of us.
    428
  401. I actually think that Rick’s part sounds better with the newer speakers but Rhett and Dave need the older ones for sure
    427
  402. Rick. When you played that last guitar piece by Crowfield (I had never heard of them), and the video faded back into you playing the part, it immediately struck me how emotional it was, I was like.. Rick is baring his soul here. I felt even a little sad and I didn't know why, and then you told the story of your friend's tragic passing, and then I finally understood why it felt that way in the pit of my stomach. And then I cried because you clearly loved the guy, and I felt bad for him, and the folks who loved him so dearly. Thank you for sharing that bit, Rick. You're a good man.
    426
  403. "Niels didn't play the bass, Niels WAS the bass."
    425
  404. What a brilliant soul she was, and what a good nephew you are Rick! I'm sure it made her very happy to see how you are passing your love of music on to your subscribers and your children, in the same way that she passed it to you. Sorry for your loss ♥
    423
  405. This video just proves once again how great a storyteller Rick is. Such a basic setup, only his phone, but still manages to hook the viewer deeply into the story. I think that this is some what comparable to songwriting, which Rick is obviously talented at. This is one of the main reasons I love this channel, always so pleasing and perfectly composed videos and stories. It's like I would have the perfect talk with my dad every time I watch a video on this channel haha.
    421
  406. Rick is probably one of the best interviewers in terms of music on YouTube. He doesn’t ask dumb questions that you could find with one google search, he doesn’t bombard them with questions, and most importantly, he lets them speak . He sits there and listens with a smile on his face, genuinely taking in what’s being said and not asking so many useless questions. You see too many interviewers cut people off, not take in what’s being said and just not want to be there.
    421
  407. I don't even play an instrument, but I watch Rick's videos for some reason.
    419
  408. Morse, Metheny, Bullock and Pastorius. Sounds like the law firm sent from heaven. What an interview. Thank you, Rick, once again. 2023 was the year of Beato.🎉
    419
  409. Listened to this song a million times. “Heard” parts of it for the first time today. Thanks Rick!
    418
  410. "Don't tell your dad how much it costs!" I laughed but this also got to me... A Mothers sacrifice for her children can never be appreciated enough.
    416
  411. Rick has the ability to make an interview with top musicians seem like a conversation at a music store.
    415
  412. Takes a ton of discipline to play that bass line. Every part of you wants to embellish but you can't. :)
    414
  413. Two things: 1. Rick is the best music interviewer I've every seen. Every incredible, historic interview ends with the artist gushing about how much they enjoyed the experience. 2. I truly believe Rick will have a real, positive impact on music going forward. Think about that! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
    413
  414. 25:26 "Present the band to the people that have bought the tickets because we all work for the people that paid the money to come to the show." What a great answer! 💯
    411
  415. Dweezil is one of the few with REALLY great pick slides. It's a thing.
    411
  416. This channel is such a special place. In a world where corporate greed seems to be insatiably devouring the integrity of art of all kinds, your channel reminds us that the best music, and musicians — true artists uninterested in appeasing that machine — will always endure and persevere. You're a true gift to our world, Rick. Thank you.
    410
  417. I've followed this channel since it was a pure music theory channel, and seen it evolve through the years to incorporate new types of content, such a song breakdowns, interviews, etc. I think this video represents a fantastic further evolution of the channel - celebrating new artists, live performance - great stuff! And if you see this, Rick, I just want to congratulate you on on very imminently reaching one billion views on this channel - well deserved, and long may you continue!
    408
  418. Rick: "This is going to be a tricky riff to play". Rick (20 seconds later): "Okay, got it!"
    408
  419. This video in a sentence: Finally, conformation Rick Beato is actually human and there are licks he can't play within 10 seconds of hearing them, and more evidence to support that Alan Holdsworth is not actually human.
    408
  420. Now that's the Rick Beato content I really dig! This is what, more than anything else, makes this channel great.
    407
  421. You’re fantastic Rick! I love your interview style and personality. 14:00 interesting to hear about the process of a concert day too. 41:41 hahaha 😂
    406
  422. Rick -- your amazement at what she does and still does is rooted in a simple fact: Argerich is the rarest of musical and pianistic geniuses. I saw an interview where she stated very matter-of-factly that the Prokofiev 3rd Concerto was easy for her. She wasn't bragging; she was simply stating a fact. As someone who began piano lessons at 5, is now 78, studied with some well-known people, I can tell you that the Prokofiev 3rd is brutally difficult for us ordinary mortals. She is in a very small club that includes Sergei Rachmaninoff, Joseph Lhevinne, Josef Hofmann, and Vladimir Horowitz. That's why she can do the things that amaze you, though playing a half-hour or 45 minute concerto from memory is pretty routine for top professional pianists. Recall that Horowitz played the Rachmaninoff 3rd publicly for the last time when he was 75, from memory. Garrick Ohlsson has something like 60 concerti memorized and ready to go at a moment's notice. What is truly amazing about her is the quality of her playing -- the astonishing virtuosity, the sound, her big-picture sense (listen to her recording of the Liszt Sonata) and the sheer beauty of her playing.
    405
  423. No John M or T Swift is heartbreaking, I will now go sit in my room and cri PS that guitar sounds so good, Rick
    404
  424. Laughing throughout this . . . Must have played this song a hundred times with varying success in different wedding bands in the 80s . . .
    403
  425. I'm 70 years old. I have watched REPEATEDLY every single one of Rick' videos over the last 8 years. And everytime I discover something new that either brings a smile to my face or tears to my eyes. The devotion he and his guests bring to all of us truly lights the beacon of music in our world. I am forever grateful to all of you.
    403
  426. I love how Rich takes the piss out of Rick 😂 Only very good old friends can do that to each other
    402
  427. Brian May and Rick Beato in the same video. My birthday came in early this year!
    401
  428. Theories : 1 - you're testing YouTube blocking algorithm 2 - you're testing fair use 3 - you're trying to see how fast you're going to get blocked 4 - you're trying to see howmany infringments you're going to have 5 - you're trying to make an educational video (mmmm... that might be illegal....)
    401
  429. Casual comment... I went to LA to have a coffee with my old friend Vinnie... Colaiuta... Legend...
    400
  430. Rick talking about shoegaze, never thought it would happen but bless you
    400
  431. I got goosebumps.
    399
  432. Brilliant interview Rick! Now THIS is how a musician should be interviewed!
    399
  433. This is just maddening!
    398
  434. So sorry for your loss man
    398
  435. Dropping a Radiohead song reference in a Justin Bieber song analysis in a non-snob way: achievement unlocked. Never change Rick!
    398
  436. Speaking as former music editor at a national newspaper, I have to say your style of interviewing is really excellent. It takes a lot to avoid the most common mistake (being overly star struck) and get to the heart of the job, allowing your guests' genius and demeanor to come out. You make them feel safe and appreciated without being fawning. Very professional and a genuine public service! There's no one doing this better these days.
    398
  437. Rick, your channel is the most important reason to open up Youtube from time to time. You made me listen to music in a different way. Don't underestimate the value you deliver through your channel with your insights and expertise. Keep it up! 3M subs is not because you are doing allright. It's because you're doing exceptional.
    397
  438. Rivers Cuomo is an amazing songwriter and works his ass off writing. He will write 50 tunes to make a single album.
    395
  439. I had the enormous privilege of seeing her live at a concert 5 years ago. After the concert a group of people waited for her at the exit of the theater to see her leave. An assistant very politely asked us not to ask for autographs because she was very tired after the concert and of course we all understood. When she left, she walked out of the theater, she looked to all of us in the eye and greeted us with a big smile, no words were needed, her smile said it all. She carried a huge bouquet of flowers with her beautiful long hair and walked to her hotel - it was a couple of blocks away- alone with a couple of assistants. She has that aura of a living legend. It's a moment that I treasure forever.
    395
  440. "If it's metal you gotta have EMGs." Rick : casually chugging away on soapbars
    394
  441. Your immediate association of "Stay" to "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic"just made me laugh out loud. Well done for another great vid.
    391
  442. Sir, this is by far the best interview series out there! Such great presentation, informative discussion, and genuinely chill with some of the biggest guests
    391
  443. What REALLY makes the "10 Years Gone" riff great though, is the sick bass line that goes with it. I would LOVE to see you do a "What makes this song great" video on it! You always make my brain understand what my ears and heart have known all along!
    387
  444. Rick, what you bring to us is immeasurable. Not only to interview the great jazz masters but to speak their language with a comprehension of their musicianship and interpretations and the knowledge of the other great musicians within the genre is just off the charts. From the likes of Keith Jarrett to Tony Iommi to Bach and beyond, you sir have it down...good lord what a treasure. Thank you.
    385
  445. This video is actually a beautiful homage to your beloved mom, and to all other hero moms in history who relentlessly supported and encouraged their children. The future of mankind starts with the mothers.
    385
  446. 👏👏👏 On behalf of all the unknown singer-songwriters in the world, thank you Rick for looking towards us and giving us a bit of your light on the stage of life and music 🙌🏻🙏🏻
    384
  447. This was the best Marty interview I have ever seen. He is not dismissive and feels at easy to share more intimate and dare say (his) 'theory' or mindset. Priceless. Rick has many gifts, and conversation is one of them. Amazing interview.
    383
  448. When I would stay over at Aunt Penny’s the only thing I wanted to do was stay up and watch Johnny Carson because our folks wouldn’t let me at that age...my Mom would tell her “don’t let him stay up that late” and Aunt Penny would say “I got it” - she’d set me up on the couch with a big pillow and blanket with the TV on the right channel and then in the morning would ask me how Johnny Carson was...I never ever stayed up late enough - I always fell asleep - but I totally loved how she gave me the freedom and opportunity to try!
    383
  449. His Voice rang out here in Melbourne, Australia over the gum trees and a beautiful Spring day. Sweet Journey, Superman.
    383
  450. Rick, everything you share is rich and beyond price. Your knowledge. Your rapture and enthusiasm over music you share. The stories of your family of origin, your extended family, and your family you have at home. You share deeply, without pretense or embarrassment. You speak to us all as friends, and that is the reason this venture has the breadth and depth of following it does. You are a blessing
    383
  451. I was working with Pat Metheny and Lyle Mays on their Warner Brothers Music Show LP when they got the call from Joni asking them to be in her band. They were so psyched. The show they put on that evening was smokin'. After the gig, they packed up, went to Massachusetts, recorded the "American Garage" LP, and then started rehearsals with Joni. I met up with Pat when the "Shadows and Light" tour passed through Philadelphia two months later. He told me that he was having the time of his life.
    383
  452. Rick really need s a 3rd channel, “Rick Beato’s Story time”, just once a week he tells a 10 minute or so story about his life.
    381
  453. Rick has made his bones in music and those he interviews get that. He asks questions that a musician would ask and then subtly mixes in a few questions that a friend would ask...it's just brilliant. Best interview of MJK I've ever seen...
    380
  454. I can't... I just... No words. Rick Beato is today's Alan Lomax. What he's documenting is the lore, the beauty, the process, all of it. It's clear that many of the most important people in music of the last 60 years are seeing Rick Beato as an opportunity to relive and describe their work and histories. I think we always knew that it was this complex and beautiful. In this one, Jimmy Webb had so much to say that he was stumbling all over himself, shortcutting the shortcuts. He needed three hours or three days, like Daniel Lanois needed. Well, thank you, Rick Beato. Keep on pounding away, man, because this is the best.
    379
  455. I don’t think there’s another person on the planet that could host such a high quality, intelligent interview with Sting. Rick’s knowledge and appreciation of music is remarkable, and he so deserves the massive following he’s gained over the years.
    379
  456. Rick is the best interviewer in the business. He knows to make it about the artist.
    376
  457. Man those three guys must be so hyped to meet Rick beato
    376
  458. Thank you, surgeons for preserving Rick!
    375
  459. There are hundreds of YouTubers talking about production, guitars and effects. But This video of you and your old band talks 1000% more about your music knowledge and good taste. Congrats!!
    374
  460. I have seen Michael interviewed a few different times now by a few different people, but I have never seen him be this open and comfortable. You got him to offer more opinion, insight, and knowledge than any of the other interviewers I have seen so far. He has an incredible wealth of information, but you helped us see the genius and artistry behind his work.
    374
  461. "How many bars you think you'll be soloing, Steve"? "...Yes"
    374
  462. 2024 is turning out to be a tremendous year for Rick Beato. Simply awesome. Here, two contemporary legends.
    374
  463. Everyone has already said it, but I gotta double down. Rick, you are going to go down in history as one of the most important historians of rock music. These interviews are priceless. The questions you ask are so precise and beautiful and brings out so many amazing stories and detail. And of course who better than someone who understands and knows the legacy of all these brilliant instruments, tech, and musicology can be the one to make this happen. Thank you for being awesome and producing this amazing content. And Butch was fascinating to listen to.
    372
  464. Another instant classic Beato post. He is a fascinating blend of insight, experience, knowledge and skill and it’s all wrapped up in humour and modesty and passion. Love it. Keep it up, Rick. 61 yrs young and going strong!!
    371
  465. This is a great example of why all bands need to support this channel. I had not, to this point heard of Martha I will never forget her. Going straight to Spotify to follow her and travel down the YouTube rabbit hole. Thank you brother for this gem!
    371
  466. Rick, you are blowing things out of the water (per usual, but especially lately). Tommy is one of my favorite guitarists also. I contend, your interviews are some of the best I have ever seen. The guests, the questions, the Audio and video quality et al. Thank you for bringing us these ICONs of music in such an incredibly engaging and professional way.
    370
  467. Don't give up on the jazz videos Rick! I grew up with heavy rock and metal, but your amazingly wide-ranging videos over the past few years sparked my interest in discovering the jazz greats (including Cookin', Relaxin', Workin' and Steamin'). Your enthusiasm and knowledge of music make your channel essential viewing for anyone with an interest in music. Awesome!
    370
  468. This is by far the best interview with Hans Zimmer. I was blown away by all the questions etc. No one would done it better than Rick!
    369
  469. Not bad but the best youtube video is: "Reaction Coach reacts to Reaction" by Kmac2021 followed by Rick Beato's Rant about Apple
    366
  470. I have zero understanding of music but watching Rick dissect, analyse and recompile all of the parts of a track with such passion and knowledge is a great thing. I'm subscribed to a channel that I love and it could be in French for all of my understanding. Keep it up Rick.
    366
  471. Love Eric Johnson, love Pat Metheny, love J.S. Bach, love you Rick. It all flows from the same beautiful place. Cheers.
    366
  472. I think the biggest thing Rick has going for him is that when he breaks down artists songs he points out things the artist themselves didn’t realise, I think the artist respect that….and Rick unlike a lot of interviewer’s does not ask stupid irrelevant question….keep it up Rick….brilliant.
    365
  473. Gregg's happiness about drumming and drumming within music is infectious. Makes you just want to play drums yourself and improve in every single aspect in musicianship. He can truly do it all.
    365
  474. Most of my guitar heroes inspire me to be a better player but Julian also inspires me to be a better human being.
    365
  475. This is the best "interview" I've ever seen! You let the guest talk, no agenda, no ridiculous sound bite questions that insult the guest, just pure music history and inside stories. AND a focus on the music not posing and love affairs. Your interjections are also spot on. Wish the rest of the media could do this.
    364
  476. I’m originally from LA, but live in Japan and 10 years ago on my way back home from visiting my folks in Cali, we boarded our flight and as I was putting away my luggage this big guy was next to asking me if he should make more space so that I could squeeze in my bag, I said, “I’m ok” and when I turned and saw who it was, I immediately froze to the point where my wife was like, “you ok?” Allan Holdsworth was sitting next to me in the economy seat, I almost crapped my pants and most people had no idea who he was. It was really hard for me to talk at first, but he asked me if I like to drink, I was like “yeah! “ That helped a lot, it was. 14 hour flight and we just talked and talked not just about music, but also about his divorce and family, the plane could have gone down that moment, I just didn’t care. He was the nicest guy, approachable, down to earth, not conceded at all, sad that he’s no longer with us, but if you don’t know who Allan Holdsworth is, you need to check him out. Been a fan since the early 80’s and he’s definitely in my top 10 list of best guitarists.
    364
  477. I think I'd call it "musical divergence". I don't think it's so much that you don't give them a chance, it's that the music spoke to you at a point in your life (either musically or lyrically) and either you or the musician has evolved to a point that you don't connect anymore.
    363
  478. Thank you Mr. Beato for representing our community. I realize you may not have asked for this, but I can't think of a better person to articulate and frame these issues.
    362
  479. A bit of trivia: The (first) studio for Sergio Mendes was built by a then young carpenter that would later become known as Han Solo and Indiana Jones.
    362
  480. I must say this interview was more like 2 kindred spirits hanging out and just shooting the breeze. Nuno was so genuine, animated and loquacious (in an endearing way) which speaks to Rick’s utterly disarming and engaging presence and conversational demeanor. This was truly a pleasure to take in and I look forward to more of these historically significant happenings.
    362
  481. Never in my life I imagined having a Youtube channel posting peak quality interviews with Yngwie Malmsteen, the Doors and Willow Smith. Rick really is the epitomy of ecclecticism.
    359
  482. These Rick Beato interviews are the gold standard for musician interviews. More good information in a one hour video than whole stacks of music magazines or knucklehead youtuber vids.
    356
  483. This is the equivalent of watching a 13th century master stonemason point out the masterwork of a cathedral built in the 12th century to a journeyman he is training. Thank you, Mr. Beato. We don't deserve this level of instruction, but we are thankful for it.
    355
  484. Is anyone else just about as impressed with Brad Mehldau's facility with the English language as with his prodigious artistry on the piano keys? I've taught Language Arts for years and his mastery/precision of verbal expression is off the charts! Just wonderful to listen to.
    355
  485. Rick, a current artist spotlight is a perfect way to take your criticism of new music in a positive direction. I’m 72, but love to discover new music so I don’t get stuck in the classic rock museum. I strongly support this new element of your channel.
    353
  486. Not a lot of people do such videos these days, YT has changed now. Rick, your appreciation towards artistry and craftmanship helps a lot in understanding music in its actual form. Peace
    351
  487. Rick: These conversations are probably more important than the interviews with musicians. Guys like Dave are as important to the making of music as guys like Billy Corgan, but no one asks for their stories. This is such an important historical document. You have no idea how important this work is.
    351
  488. Wow Rick. I was at that gig. An 18 year old kid from out of town. Depressed when I walked in as I’d just missed out on a tea boy’s job at trident studios. Stood at back with my jaw open and feet tapping and after, walked out happy.
    350
  489. What a cool idea. Rick, you're a genius 😁 ...and you've got cool friends 🤘
    349
  490. Watching Rick enjoy a song is life affirming.
    347
  491. Thanks for the story. Reminds me of my days back in the music biz.
    347
  492. Take note, friends. Lot of kismet in this perspective. He’s an existentialist at heart. With huge balls. Being 36 and trying to make it in the music biz. That’s harsh. Trying to be self-employed and find a way to make a living on your own at any age is brutal. I just love the idea the Rick is where he is. Lot of perseverance.
    346
  493. Talking off the cuff the way you do is actually part of the magic of your channel. Being overproduced and scripted would hide your enthusiasm for what you're doing. That's 75% of why I watch you.
    345
  494. Maybe his singing's so bad the bots can't tell what songs they are.
    343
  495. No Rick Beato video is complete without a reference to Alice in Chains
    342
  496. Not a fan of Taylor's music, but this makes me want to listen to her re-recordings and I give her huge props for taking on the Big Machine. So cool.
    340
  497. Didn't think I'd be crying today, but here I am shedding tears of gratitude for you, Rick. I'm only 20 years old but the past 5 years has been the most incredible journey of musical discovery for me. I know it's only the beginning, but you have been a priceless source of inspiration for me and I'm forever grateful for you and your channel. I hope to one day meet the man behind the screen, but until then please never stop doing what you're doing. Much love xx
    340
  498. Beato: could play Dorian in C major but plays in B major like a boss.
    340
  499. Listening to Rick is like talking with family and friends.
    340
  500. O.M.G. I saw this pop up on my way to bed and now I'm getting to sleep an hour and 22 minutes late. This was the greatest interview/conversation I have ever seen with Luke. How could you not just love this guy? He is so real, humble, self-effacing and brilliantly talented. Rick, you have become THE ambassador between us everyday players and our heroes/influences. I cannot thank you enough for what you do. I know you do it because you love it and - because you can. There is only one Rick Beato, and we are so grateful to have you.
    338
  501. Tosin is helping us see the future of music. Rick is helping us remember what got us here and reminding us what it takes to create real music. Thank you guys for the time and effort. Don’t get enough of it now a days. We just saw Animals at the house of blues in Orlando. Legendary and one of the best shows I’ve ever seen at a venue where I’ve seen so many people. They made it feel like we were somewhere else. Universe is on the way. 🌌 Music lives forever. Just spend time with your Instrument Most powerful words ever said to me 🎶
    338
  502. This is just nuts. This sort of content being available and on such a whim of an idea, is incredible!! Awesome video
    338
  503. Rick, what you have created here for music fans is truly very special. The quality of the content on this channel is just unrivaled.
    336
  504. Jeneane is one of my good friends. We met when we worked at a small consulting company in Atlanta back in the 90s and she was my boss. She’s such a wonderful person and she always talked about how she was 100% sure that was her dad’s bass. I know how devastated she was when he died and how much that’s gonna mean to her to have that little piece of him back. Fate is amazing when it’s kind.
    335
  505. The best series on YouTube. These interviews are gold every time.
    335
  506. I love how this trio of incredibly talented musicians look like they are just mid-level managers in the accounting department at some gigantic corporation.
    334
  507. The level of guests that you get on your show is a testament to the respect they have for you. Congrats.
    334
  508. Rick Beato understands musicians so well, best I’ve ever seen, no fan boy crap, he asks exactly what musicians and fans of the band would ask. This will last as an online legacy of interviews.
    333
  509. A fantastic video. Rick never lets anyone down, but has surpassed himself with this.
    333
  510. This video is brought to you by the Beato Ultimate Bundle. Learn to analyze the music you love: https://rickbeato.com/
    332
  511. When you're young you float in this ocean of emotions. Music of the time comes to paint the landscape of your dear and not so dear memories. Today it transports you back to those special places where real excitement happened. No matter how good music will your old favorite artist put out now, it just ain't the same.
    332
  512. Not clickbait is kinda more clickbait than actual clickbait. But wth, love the content nonetheless
    331
  513. One of the greatest guitar players on the planet. People don't realize how incredible Andy's playing is. Outstanding interview!
    330
  514. I was born with my left ear being deaf. Last year, I was fitted with a Widex Hearing aid in my right ear, because I have significant hearing loss in my right ear as well. I've been writing music since I was a teen, and this is an amazing video - in fact it made me cry. Hearing loss is incredibly isolating and the hearing aid is giving me a little more time to hear music. Its not perfect, but it sure is amazing. I LOVE Beethoven because of his perseverence in spite of his hearing loss. Thanks for posting this!
    329
  515. When will bands/their management/record labels learn that videos like these turn people on to the artist being covered, as well as helping people learning theory, songwriting, etc? Blocking content such as this is asinine, in my opinion. Thank you so much for these videos, Rick, and keep up the fantastic work. I, and many, many others greatly appreciate it. 🤘🏼🤘🏼
    329
  516. Storytime with Rick is always good. I should have had some cocoa.
    329
  517. I grinned wide at the Beatles question, Rick. Thank You for that Rick. Fantastic interview, you're a treasure to music fans :)
    329
  518. Wishing for days of silence, Rick, I am so sorry. This is totally heartbreaking and so important to talk about. Thank you for telling your story. x
    328
  519. "There'll never be music created like that again. Lyle is gone and that time has passed. But we can always travel back in time and listen to this, any time we want." And that is the magic of music. <3
    328
  520. Wow Rick, this will be one of those caches of clips people will play forever when they talk about Derek in his later years and when he's gone. It will be considered one of the best interviews with him ever. A true gem of history!
    327
  521. Rick's job is really tough on this one. He's looking at the interviewee in the eyes for almost 2 hours, nodding, smiling, and intervening sparsely, to make Pat feel comfortable and chat away. Most interviewers nowadays, especially those who are expert at the subject matter of the interview such as Rick, prefer to have a starring role in the interview, ruining the chance for the interviewee to go deeper, to be more candid and even to tell things he hasn't before in public. Rick refrains from this attitude, and that makes it all the more commendable. This is awesome interviewing.
    327
  522. This is possibly the best interview of any musician or artist ever… I don’t think I am exaggerating
    326
  523. um, am i the only one who wants to hear more of mr beato's piano arrangement.
    326
  524. Your channel is part of why YouTube is my TV these last few years. Honest commentary and well based on music and the technical, not hyped like some other annoying channels.
    325
  525. 50 years later, Leyla will be making a video about how Papa Rick was her biggest influence and the reason she loves music. Just like how Aunt Penny was for Rick. R.I.P aunt Penny.
    324
  526. When he called out Joni mitchell...thats when Rick pulled out the camera and pressed record lol
    324
  527. Rick-- I have watched a Million interviews of Musicians (usually interviewed by non-musicians) , but this is absolutely THE BEST in-depth interview ever recorded. Your knowledge of their music catalog and album and song history made your questions lead to a very interesting discussion. You got them to explain the creative process and gained insight into their songwriting techniques. Again, kudos to the entire video interview. I think you have found a new niche!
    323
  528. OMG!!! I mean holy mother of god batman! Amazing!
    319
  529. "another major 3... weird" it's almost like the whole top 10 is written by the same group of people...
    319
  530. This is pathetic. It is incredible how outdated the music industry approach is to YouTube, and social media in general. They're actively trying to harm YT without realizing it would be better for everyone, including them, if they stopped abusing the copyright system.
    319
  531. I thought - 45 minutes - ah, I'll never make it all the way through this. Next thing I know - it's over! Love hearing these experts talk shop :)
    318
  532. Joe and Rick have great chemistry. I think it would be awesome if they created a regular YT show.
    317
  533. Only 10mins in, but I know where my next hour and a half will be spent. How epic is this? What continues to amaze me is how relaxed and candid EVERYONE you interview is. You’ve shown your chops and earned the trust my brother, and the payoff is incredible. Thank you, Rick.
    317
  534. The way Rick smiles happily in anticipation before he actually plays the riffs makes ME happy. That love for music is so relatable even though I can't even play the electric guitar.
    316
  535. Tim and Rick are not only musicians they are educators whom have raised everyone’s music IQ whereby we have become better musicians, listeners and people when it comes to music! TY Gents!
    315
  536. The only thing Rick should have done differently at the onset of his musical career would have been to figure out time travel so he could fast forward a few decades and learn from his own YT channel In all seriousness, thanks for everything Rick!! It is never lost on me that you do all this for free. Love from Oklahoma
    313
  537. Rick I have a brain hearing condition that makes it impossible for me to pick out all the intricacies of music which means I might hear vocals but miss instrumentals or I would get the lyrics wrong. These videos have opened a whole new world of music to my ears. TY so much.
    313
  538. I love all these stories Rick, I could listen to you talk for hours on the things that happened in your life
    313
  539. Rick, I cannot express how gratifying it is to see you geeking out to Oscar. I've been arguing for years with anyone who would listen, that Oscar is one of the greatest musicians in the history of our planet, period. Nobody else has ever brought his combination of technical chops, speed, smoothness, but far most importantly, swing. Oscar swung even on the tenderest of ballads. A true GOAT.
    312
  540. Rick's gift as a teacher: Teaches jazz theory on a Strat with cranked Marshall, Strat volume turned way down for a clean sound, Marshall left cranked with evident amp noise throughout jazz theory demonstration. No one complains.
    312
  541. Everyone: You cant play metal with P-90 pickups Rick Beato: Dont tell me what to do
    311
  542. Nurse here. Guitarist here. Rick fan here. May you live 50 more years!!
    311
  543. Nuno is speaking from the soul and he knows Rick Beato’s channel and interviews are the most real line of communication to his fan base and future musicians. He arrived with a MESSAGE to all of us. I was lucky enough to meet him at one of his clinics and was able to speak to him for around an hour. What a humble and funny guy. Such a living legend. His solo music allowed my dad and I to bond during my parents divorce. This guy deserves way more respect. Cheers Nuno!
    310
  544. When Rick Beato bring out the Abasi custom, you know its about to get heavy
    309
  545. It's unreal what a loveable person he is. The fact that he maintained this level of humbleness and down-to-earth attitude over THIS career and musical greatness truly warms my heart. Thank you, Luke, thank you, Rick - that was 82 minutes of my life well spent.
    308
  546. What a fascinating guy, his verbal eloquence mirrors his musical language. I can listen to him both play and speak for hours. 🙏🏻👌🏻❤️👍
    307
  547. Simply the best interview ever with Joe Bonamassa by the best interviewer there is. Thank you Rick, you made it AGAIN
    306
  548. This is hands down the best interview I have seen so far in 2024. I love the natural way this conversation unwinds and expands into so many directions while remaining anchored to the central idea it began with. Just brilliant!!
    303
  549. nolly is the puppeteer of periphery. he have a boundless knowledge in the production study field. takes care of every aspect of the registration process in studio
    303
  550. Fucking someone give the great Swervedriver the credit they deserve. Ultra ultra underrated. Raise and Mescal Head are sublime.
    302
  551. This series is the best thing on youtube.
    301
  552. Fun watching the radio folks naturally bounce the conversation to each other keeping everyone involved and the audience engaged.
    300
  553. I don’t know anyone of these people personally but God, Rick makes it easy to feel like we could belong in that interview. Thank you.
    299
  554. Rick I just want to say my husband was born to play he suffered a massive tramic brain injury science can't tell you how he can even be alive , his brain completely rewired its self , he had no memory of ever playing all , but being a born player he wanted to learn again not knowing he played before . Music is powerful and thank you for your videos informational 🤘
    299
  555. I am one of the lucky few who had Rick as my guitar teacher at Ithaca College in 1989. It was a blast! And thankfully, I still play. Thanks Rick! Keep up the phenomenal work!! ; - >
    298
  556. Hey Rick! It's a total honor and pleasure to have been a small part of this great interview. We're so glad that you enjoyed the documentary film "I'm Too Old for This Sh*t! A Heavy Metal Fairy Tale" that was made about Siren's unexpected reunion and our journey to perform at the festival in Germany. It was an amazing experience to live and we're thrilled that people can now join us as we discovered what it was like to have a dream sneak up on you after more than three decades. Thank you for all of your great content and for being a champion of musicians and content creators everywhere.
    298
  557. Surely I'm not the only one that teared up at the end. Rick, i hope you realize the niche you created has become a huge purpose in life.
    298
  558. It was like spending 3 hours with two friends, sitting in front of them, talking about music marvels, unheard experiences … thanks Rick. This is magic.
    296
  559. I am a lifelong musician, Rick, lots of people know when the singer is out of tune. Fewer people know when a guitars out of tune, but they know there’s something wrong. It doesn’t sound good. Have faith. you’re not nuts. Love your show…✌️❤️
    296
  560. I laughed out loud when you hard panned them lmao BALLER.
    296
  561. I love this so much. Just like with Dave Chappelle - you - us - we - the audience - is the true boss. Appeal to them.
    295
  562. Brendan O'Brien always seemed so enigmatic because of how little we heard or saw from him, but it turns he's the most down to earth guy in the world. Great interview
    295
  563. One of the BEST stories from one of the BEST STORYTELLERs of all time. :)
    294
  564. Christopher Cross, Ride Like the Wind. Oh man, I didn’t even know it had a guitar solo in it all these decades! 😲
    294
  565. Here is something I NEVER thought I would say...for 50 minutes I was COMPLETELY captivated by your interview with Christopher Cross. Is he potentially THE most underrated singer/songwriter ever? At 72 he is still amazing and his stories are awesome! Thank you for this video!
    294
  566. My favorite guy. I can (so far) always tell when it's Dave Natale mixing a big show. If it sounds close to perfect, I'll look over in the direction of the board and...THERE'S DAVE! I was playing Carnegie Hall on one of Sting & Trudie's Rainforest benefits and we were playing a groove w/Lenny Kravitz and the whole audience was on their feet, dancing. I'd played Carnegie enough times to know that that just doesn't happen there. I had to ask who was doing FOH that night. That's when I met Dave Natale and instantly became his biggest fan 🙏🏼 Great interview, Mr Beato!
    294
  567. As a Boomer constantly fighting Boomers over the absurd and persistent notion many of them hold that there are no talented musicians today, I very much appreciate this promotion of new talent. Thanks Rick.
    293
  568. You should invite Smitty to one of “What makes this song great” and review one of the song that you guys listen back then! It would be great! Awesome story!
    293
  569. Rick: One of the reasons your many followers love you and your channel is encapsulated in this video. Not only are you a superior musician, teacher, and interviewer, your humanity and humility show through. You mean something to people and you make a difference in the often difficult, but fulfilling, world of music. For you, Music seems to be a journey-as it obviously was to Peter Smart-not a race. A marathon, not a sprint. Thank you.
    292
  570. My brain just exploded. This is THE documentary with Pat Metheny I have ALWAYS hoped to listen to... This almost feels like some entity finally declassified some top secret documents and made them public after 30 years. Thank you so much for this !!!
    292
  571. This man is a national, no, an international treasure. It's really great to hear someone talk about difficulties of life with such empathy. Todays world – especially internet culture – many times seems tough and unforgiving, cold even. It's nice to hear and see Rick Beato talking about the things in life that actually are meaningful and not just fickle and cosmetic. Bravo.
    292
  572. Told hubs: "The vocalists are doing a real fine job." His reply: "It's Rick Beato. He's not going to give us some punks." 🤣👍👏
    292
  573. Rick, I don't know but, it is possible you may have saved someone's life or at least changed it fundamentally forever with this emotional yet compassionate appraisal of your love of a great song. The world needs more of this, thank you.
    292
  574. Man, Rick. That made me cry. I’m sorry for the loss of your friend. That’s heartbreaking. Thank you for sharing that. I love the music you guys made. That’s a great solo. Man, I’m just sorry. I think depression has affected so many people directly or indirectly. If anyone reading this knows someone that might be struggling, reach out and say hi to them. If you’re reading this and you’re struggling, you’re not alone. Love is all around you. If you’re at this video Watching Rick talk, you’re part of a community, whether you know it or not.
    291
  575. Rick, I’m seventy and have never heard of this incredible artist. You have done a great service with this video to the world of music. Thank you!
    290
  576. Rick, you’re probably the greatest musician interviewer of all time! It’s because you’re so talented, knowledgable, and highly respected by the best musicians in the world, but also because you’re such a genuine, easy going guy. And you keep getting better! Much respect, my brother! 🙏🏻 Now, to finish watching….
    290
  577. My father passed away from a sudden heart attack a bit over a week ago. This video was a hard watch.. but it's inspiring to see humans in this light none the less. You're a good man Rick. I'm sorry for your loss brotha
    290
  578. This is why I love Rick's videos, he just has a fatherly quality, but your dad actually knows how to play 😅
    289
  579. The best thing about this video is that people will either hear Phish for the first time here or overcome some preconceptions and give them an honest listen. I am happy for those people. Some will discover a new passion that will be a blessing to them for the rest of their lives. Thanks Rick. I love the channel, especially the interviews with the behind the scenes folks.
    289
  580. There's a term in psychology called 'prototypical memory' which is about how we always tend to go back to our very first experiences of something as the reference point for everything that comes after that. Also, Tori's 2021 record is just phenomenal -- it has some of her best production and instrumentation in a very long time.
    289
  581. So many interviews are dumbed down, but you nail these interviews, with a knowledge of theory, musical history, your positive affect, and genuine youthful enthusiasm.
    288
  582. Your channel is absolutely fantastic. Here are no limits. Everything Music is well named in deed. It makes you dream, it makes you travel, it makes you go out of your boundaries, it educates you... I also greatly appreciate the fact that you respect your audience and the musicians you talk about. Clean channel here. Yet, you talk freely, boldly. Your channel is an invitation to love music, to love it more and more.
    288
  583. This is probably the most important contemporary Music History interview ever recorded! I've been a Musician for 45 years and NEVER learned as much in a YEAR as this 3 hours taught me -- Lanois is the Yoda of high-end modern music. The word 'Genius' isn't sufficient to describe him. You've reached the highest level Rick, this is HISTORICAL! I'm VERY happy for you!
    288
  584. I love how we never know what kind of video Rick is going to make other than it being related to making music. Love the channel and always look forward to Rick's uploads.
    288
  585. Gord’s guitarist Red Shea was my first guitar teacher when I was a kid in Canada. Was a fantastic guy. I didn’t take another formal lesson again until I went to GIT in LA. Luckily saw Gord at the Royal Albert Hall in London a few years ago. The first time he played there in 35 years. Was a heck of a night.
    287
  586. 1 min and Rick is providing top tier 'Blocker Bait'
    287
  587. A Message Of Overwhelmingly Simple Logic To Music Publishing-Rights Owners: When people talk about your song, more people buy your song. Use your brain and cool it with the ignorant disregard of Fair Use along with the poor business sensibility. Imagine explaining to your bosses or shareholders why you flagged a video that was well into the top 100 YT Trending which was effectively selling your song to countless thousands of listeners.
    287
  588. "Can you play the 1st note?" Yes. "Can you play the 2nd note?" Yes. "Then you can play the whole piece." For some reason that's profoundly inspiring to me. In other words you can do it, just keep going.
    286
  589. I’m just saying, get Andy Wood to play a solo on Cliffs of Dover. It would be absolutely absurd.
    286
  590. Talk about a shitty band to have this happen for (no dis to the Cars, but kinda). I had a copyright strike for Hotel California, but so has everyone. Damn. Don't worry dude. THE fiRsT CuT iS tHe DEepESt
    286
  591. Anyone else think Rick is an absolute genius?! I love music but know nothing about playing instruments or reading notes. It’s all so natural to Rick. His passion for the details is infectious!
    284
  592. Now THAT is how one conducts an interview. Once you hear the first few seconds, you can't possibly disengage from hearing the rest. A fifty minute interview that passes by as if time has temporarily paused. The process was as moving, dynamic, and enjoyable as Christopher's music. Bravo, Rick, Bravo!
    281
  593. Ok, I never make a comment, but I had to. The way you make your analysis is just incredible. I am a teacher (chemistry), and seeing your videos is an inspiration of how we can explain deep stuff in such light way. You make videos of more than 30 minutes, and it works! About Kate Bush, she is one of the best pop artists ever. Running up that Hill always makes me sad in a very nice way, it just conforts your soul.
    280
  594. Rick, Rick… Not only did you bring out the feeling of a chat with an old friend on a rainy day, but you brought out the feeling of what it’s like to be David, when he’s alone and doing music. Blown away at his pro tools commitment. I kept thinking about a woodworker describing how he spends his day in a wood shop. You bring artistry to your interviews. Thank you
    280
  595. I love that you write out the chord symbols by hand and then import them in
    280
  596. This is really amazing Rick. Derek trucks and now Maynard. Two of my very favorites that basically don’t do interviews. I can’t wait to see who’s next!
    280
  597. Rick I believe these interviews are your defining life work. Your career has made you uniquely qualified to speak to these talented musicians on their level. Your ability as a teacher makes you able to know what to ask them for the benefit of the world. I grew up reading liner notes and seeking out albums with musicians I had heard before. Being able to hear Chuck speak was a dream come true.
    279
  598. I'm SO GLAD you brought up this song because I've been OBSESSED with the Sting version for a long time now. Funny thing is no one in my family gets it either! The whole 'Songs from the labyrinth' album is great but this song, with what you called a madrigal (sp?), is just a thing of beauty
    279
  599. The world needs to see a conversation between Rick and Paul, and preferably with Ringo too. It would be a thing of beauty and wonder. How can we make this happen soon?
    278
  600. We need someone to make a channel “What Makes This Interview Great”, because Rick is the best music interviewer of all time. As masterful as these artists are, and they are masterful, it’s the flow of the conversation that Rick provides that takes this to a whole another level. Seriously.
    278
  601. Rick… this was one of the deepest and most inspiring interviews you have ever done. As a guitarist who has an MFA in Jazz I so appreciate you allowing Brad to share such incredible insights connecting composers from Bach to Radiohead. So grateful to you for making interviews like this happen. ❤️🎸💪🏻
    277
  602. I have now listened to this entire interview at least 10 times. Pure magic! I’m mesmerized by the depth of the conversation and feel I know what real musicians talk about when they’re truly being themselves. Rick, you deserve an award for your skill as the consummate interviewer of other musicians. This interview will be preserved for generations by true musicians and fans of both Sting and Rick Beato!
    277
  603. Years ago when royalty-free production music was purchased on CD, I bought a number of CDs of music for my PBS TV show (which is now a YouTube show) about marine life. Ten or so years later, the publishing library was acquired by Getty and for about a year I got constant copyright notices on YouTube apparently from Getty. I had to keep contesting for every video to straighten it out. I provided proof that I had legally licensed the music (CDs that cost $99 each which was the license cost). I finally got so sick of it that I tracked down someone at Getty. They told me they were NOT the ones issuing the warnings. It was the content ID system doing it automatically. Only the authorized person at Getty could "approve"--and remove the copyright warning, but the warnings were being issued automatically. So they were actually as annoyed about it as I was. There were thousands of people who licensed music from that same library and they were dealing with legions of angry producers every day.

  604. Rick, you are making history interviewing the greatest musicians of our time. Not only that but you ask relevant questions, due to your immense musical knowledge, instead of the regular repetitive run-of-the-mill questions that people from corporate media do once they land these kinds of interviews. Derek has been one of my favorite players for a while and it was great of you to make his introvert self comfortable with your well-informed questions. Maybe one day you land a McCartney or Ringo interview. One can only dream. Fingers crossed though.
    274
  605. THIS is how to use YouTube as a platform for informative, educational, compelling and fun content. Rick, in all sincerity, thank you for all that you’ve done these past few years. The channel just continues to get better and better. I’ll absolutely do my small part and donate; please just keep the videos coming. Once again, thank you.
    274
  606. As older,70, former professional musician, you are absolutely right. At 15, I saved up money to buy my first album. The experience of opening the album cover, after studying the cover for a long time, pulling the record sleeve slowly and removing the vinyl and getting that smell. It made your connection with what you were about to hear so special. Nothing like it. That ritual was so special.
    273
  607. Don’t judge. I’ve never heard a lick of his music. However, the way he expressed himself was just fascinating to listen to. I’m looking forward to learning more about him through his music. Fantastic job for everyone.
    272
  608. As a middle age dude i just realised something… i’m always paranoid that young musos will see me as ‘an old dude’ then i realised… i never see / saw Rick as ‘old’ and this video kind reinforces it. Cool music dudes are just cool music dudes and its somewhat transcendent of age. Particularly as the wisdom these young men have shows that younger guys also have no barriers the other way. Really wholesome video. Love it
    272
  609. Rick’s depth is staggering. Whether it’s rock, metal, blues or jazz, his knowledge of the genre and the catalog is unreal. I don’t think there is anyone else who could pull off these interviews.
    272
  610. No one else is doing interviews like this, these aren’t cheesy YouTube music how to videos, these are valuable contributions to music history itself…so moving to see Keith and appreciate the true musical genius that he is…
    272
  611. What makes Rick Beato great? Frickin' videos like this one... Most of my life I have longed to know what these songs were doing but felt I never would. Thanks for making that dream come true...
    272
  612. I am most impressed by the fact that Jon Anderson is a big Spinal Tap fan. How can you not love this guy?!?!
    271
  613. Oh, my flipping goodness!! I'm totally floored. That was some of, if not THE, best musicianship I've ever heard in my life! My dad is Bobby Kimball, the original singer of Toto. He used to play one little part of this song that he told me his mom, Ruby Kimball, used to always play him while she was teaching him to play boogie woogie piano as a child. ( 6:37 and 6:49 ) I've never heard it anywhere else before and was under the impression that my grandmother had made it up herself. Now I know who influenced part of her playing that helped shape my father's career in music. What a special moment for me to find this artist and particular performance. Thank you so much, Rick Beato for making this video!! Allison Kimball
    270
  614. NEVER leave a Rick Beato video, story, before the ending. It ALWAYS pays off.
    269
  615. One of the most extraordinary examples of music education using theory and oral history I have ever seen. It was fascinating, accessible and enjoyable. Reminded me of Leonard Bernstein's programs. Thank you, Rick Beato.
    269
  616. This is a beautiful homage, both to Peterson and to your father. It is part of the secret of becoming an elder yourself. Thank you for this, it is saturated in joy and love.
    269
  617. "They don't know how to teach you" - from today's perspective, Mrs Beato not only stood up for her child, she actually had some insight into how the mind works.
    268
  618. I was listening to this WMTSG while driving. Ten minutes in, I pulled over and re-started the video so I could watch Rick. Lesson learned: don’t Beato and drive...
    267
  619. The interview with Rick Wakeman was one of the most fascinating pieces I've ever seen. Rick just let Wakeman go, and he told his amazing stories. The art of the interview as I learned in 40 years as a journalist is to shut up and let the subject talk. After someone answers, the interviewer often jumps right in to prevent dead air. But leaving the pause usually results in the subject feeling that it's their responsibilty to keep going and they often add the unexpected. Rick Beato is one of the finest interviewers I've ever heard. I couldn't stop listening and had no idea it was 90 minutes. I could have listened for another 90.
    266
  620. Some years ago I went to see Black Sabbath's final performance in my home town. We were waiting for the show to star and we came across an old lady. She was easily 60 or 70 years old. We asked her if she was looking for someone, but she was there all by herself. She had been a Sabbath fan for over 40 years and had come to say goodbye to the band. It's not just music, it's not just a phase, it's part of who we are.🤘
    266
  621. The 2 people who disliked this video are tone-deaf. Rick Beato strikes again. So much knowledge in his head. I'm so happy he makes these videos for us.
    266
  622. Jeezo...what a talent on Piano this man is, he plays like a man possessed. The trio are fantastic together and really put on a show for the audience. Kudos to your Father for having such great taste in music and then passing it on to you, and thank you for showing us mere mortals such God-like abilities, it truly is just sublime. Great video Rick 👍
    266
  623. Hello Rick: Rhett is completely correct when he said that if music is good people will still connect with it. A few weeks ago, I got Frank Sinatra's cd "In the Wee Small Hours", and it's incredibly good.
    265
  624. Possibly the best Tommy Emmanuel interview I've ever seen. Rick is a quality interviewer. I felt the same way about the interview with Sting....Rick's knowledge of music and his enthusiasm for great musicians and their work shows through at every point. Two really first rate interviews with men who have been interviewed many, many times, but were clearly enthusiastic about the interview and very forthcoming because Rick obviously knows music and asks sophisticated questions that haven't been asked over and over again....Such a good interview that I donated to the channel...Well worth it.
    265
  625. Ok, my dream video would be Rick interviewing Pagey himself. Everyone else wants to ask the band about their party-hard lifestyle. I can only imagine what that qualitative, in the studio interview with Jimmy Page about writing, playing, and recording would be like.
    264
  626. Yes. Incredible album. I love your work!
    264
  627. This has got to be the single best interview with Derek out there. As a touring guitarist who started as a jazz horn player I’m happy to see I’m not too far off in my inspirations. The only other interview I would love to see would be Warren Haynes
    263
  628. When Andy shows us the chord... I nearly wept. I keep being overwhelmed by the magic of hearing the stories behind the scenes of the music that meant so much to me all my life. I can't express the depths of my gratitude for bringing us this phenomenal interview. ❤
    263
  629. Whaaaaaat?!?!?!? I’m not even half way through and this is one of the best things I’ve ever seen. This is not a gem, this is THE GEM. Thank you, Rick, THANK YOU 🙏🏼❤️♾
    262
  630. Hey Rick. I'm singing and playing guitar for a dear family friend's funeral tomorrow. She passed away suddenly from cancer and her son asked me to play music for the service. I'll be honest, it's a heavy burden to bear, but it's an honor to bear it. Truth be told, I'm nervous. I want it to be perfect. Somehow this video showed me that it doesn't need to be perfect. It's not about vocal prowess or guitar skill. It just needs to be from the heart. I know that may not have been what you were aiming to pass on from this video, but that's what I got from it and that's exactly what I needed during this time. My sincerest condolences for your loss and thank you for your content.
    262
  631. "It was just the James Brown chord next to the Hendrix chord". LOL! Rick, these interviews have become like the new Guitar Player magazine just came out and you run out and and get it it's filled with all kinds of knowledge and interesting stuff and you just absorb it with complete enlightenment. Just amazing, and fantastic editing. Thank you!
    261
  632. Rick is creating a national archive, and we are witnessing it. I'm in awe of Julians playing, and did not know his struggle and journey to prevail. Much respect to both of you. Thank you for your dedication to the world of music.
    261
  633. This is incredibly special. Pat has never appeared in any Jaco documentary, official or otherwise - to hear him talk so candidly (and warmly) about their early times together is such a singular, big deal. Thank you so much for what you do, Rick!!
    261
  634. Um, I'd say that ANY scale sounds incredible with THAT guitar tone.
    261
  635. I think this is just Rick taking the piss out of the record companies and I love it.
    259
  636. I saw this was over an hour long and I thought, I know I don't have the stamina for this. I'll watch a few minutes, see what the riff was, and maybe come back to it later. I could not leave once I'd started! Wonderful interview, beautiful music, enlightening and inspiring. Thank you both!!!!
    259
  637. I'm no guitarrist, and not even a musician anymore. But your content is captivating
    257
  638. It's so much fun to watch Rick just enjoying the hell out of himself.
    257
  639. "The Greatest Solo of All Time"? I'm a subscriber and when I saw this, I was thinking, "Really?" I'm a retired musician, and spent years on-air at several Baltimore area jazz stations. And since I didn't want to get weighed down with having to correct you, I simply filed it in my "Watch Later" list. So, I finally get around to watching it and, to my delight, it's Oscar! That brought a huge smile to my face. The video that followed did not disappoint...
    255
  640. For the most part, I can’t stand jazz music, and I keep watching Rick’s videos and little by little, by appreciation for jazz has grown. I’d never heard of this guy before, and if it weren’t for this video I might have lived the rest of my life never hearing of Kurt Rosenwinkel. This guy is a freaking monster. Thanks Rick for expanding my horizons, and making me into a better music fan.
    255
  641. She will be greatly missed Rick, my prayers go out to you and your family ♥
    255
  642. Wow, this is like a compact Master Class from Gregg, brought to you by Rick Beato. So much knowledge here. Respect!
    254
  643. The true genius of Rick is how he just oh-so-casually makes a whole video parodying the banality of current pop music😂😂😂
    253
  644. You know when someone says: "Well, that's 90 minutes of my life I won't get back"? Well, that's 90 minutes of my life I'd love to be able to replay for the first time again. Rick Wakeman was a huge name for my generation, and I recall listening to Fragile and Close to the Edge time after time. And when Journey to the Centre of the Earth came out I couldn't afford to buy it until the Christmas of that year (1974?). When I did, I listened to it non-stop. Even today, 50 years later, I still listen to it every Christmas. I always wanted to know more about Wakeman himself, and I don't think any other interviewer could match this.
    253
  645. I'm a veteran Software Engineer and Manager of over 35 years (and a mediocre musician). I started studying AI way back in the 80s and early 90s. I came to the conclusion that neural networks had a lot of potential, but that we didn't have deep enough understanding, nor the computing horsepower to unlock that potential. I moved on with my career. Over the last few years, we've seen that we have acquired a deeper understanding, and sufficient computer power to begin to realize the potential of AI technologies such as neural networks. I remember the heady days in the 70s - 90s when computer science was growing at a crazy pace. These days, things are moving pretty slowly in comparison...except for AI. The promise, that goes back decades, even before the first computer, is finally upon us. Am I scared? No. Am I nervous that we don't take the necessary precautions to move ahead safely? Absolutely. I use AI everyday in my work and personal life. I find it an extremely valuable amplifier of what I can do on my own. However, AI isn't going to replace talented people any time soon. In my 35 years, technology has been an amplifier of human capability, and I think, at least for the near term, it will continue to do so. We are a long way from making shitty programmers and musicians good ones, and we are even further away from replacing them. All through my career, new technologies have been billed as tools that can make anyone an expert programmer. That's never happened. Does AI have the potential to replace jobs. I'm afraid so, for certain types of work. But technological advances have always done that. It's inevitable. In the next few years, the legislation we put in place, the controls, the conscientious advancement of AI, all are going to determine the fate the human race will face for the future. I'm hopeful, but not confident. I am very glad that people like Rick have the opportunity to weigh in on this very important subject.
    253
  646. Man, I'm up at 3:45 am watching this. I write eulogies as part of my job as a speechwriter, and Rick, you did everything a eulogy should do. You shared your love for a dear friend. Good friends are hard to find, and I'm glad you found one in Peter. Ultimately, as you know, it's not how many chords you know or if you have the fanciest devices. It's the love you have between others. Carry on, rock on, and keep spreading great ideas about music.
    251
  647. It's videos like this that first attracted me to this channel when I first discovered it, probably about five years ago. Tons of information, zero waffle. I love this - just clear, concise information, perfectly demonstrated and explained. There's not another youtuber I can think of who would cover this much information in just 7 minutes. Brilliant stuff.
    249
  648. Saw Billy play an acoustic show in Glasgow a few years ago. After he’d played about 3 songs and not said a word in between, a guy in the crowd shouted “I love you Billy” to which he replied, totally deadpan, “don’t f*cking talk to me”. Honestly, the 2 or 3 seconds before he burst out laughing felt like 2 or 3 hours 😂 Amazing show. He’s magnetic to watch!
    249
  649. I like Rick because he has the talent and skill to out perform and out produce everybody on the list. Yet he speaks well of them rather than trash talk like so many others who never respond when I invite them to send me links to their discography.
    249
  650. Oh and the denim shirt…good choice for a recording from the 70’s.
    248
  651. When she called you Richard you immediately turned into a kid for a moment, so sweet. My condolences, Rick.
    248
  652. That is one tasty keyboard solo!
    247
  653. Friend: Dude, I just mastered Holy Wars.. by Megadeth!! Me: Cool man, but can you play "Never gonna let you go" by Sergio Mendes?....
    247
  654. Let’s be fair. We all want the Beato Autobiography. Millions of stories to tell.
    246
  655. Rick you probably will never read this but I have been watching your channel for a very long time, what can I say your the bollocks lots of love from Blighty (that’s England) by the way, keep doing what you do brother! A few years ago I had a series of strokes which affected my speech and memory, your channel has helped me regain so many of those previously lost memories, thank you!
    246
  656. Mate, probably you are not going to read this, but I need to say thank you. I got really emotional about this dad/son stuff. And you put together with Joe Pass (that is the closest thing to all the classical guitar/lute stuff I studied once)... It just made me buy an electric guitar again and back to study. THANK YOU
    244
  657. I mastered this tune (and the album) at The Hit Factory NYC. Won Grammy's for Best Pop Album & Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.
    244
  658. Short content ruined storytelling.
    244
  659. I'll be completely frank: I don't like Nirvana. Won't attempt to explain myself; music is individual and each of us have different reactions to what we hear. I say this as someone who generally loathes when someone else offers their "opinion" on music. I can't stand people who hate on others' favorite bands. Like I care what you think, LOL. But I have to say Rick's approach in delivering his What Makes This Song Great series is really amazing. His enthusiasm for music just oozes out and transfers to the viewer. Even when I see the title and I know the song is out of my wheelhouse, I watch every second of every video Rick puts out because there is something to be learned. And for that, Rick, I thank you. You are a gem.
    244
  660. Beautiful video tribute, Rick. So sorry for your loss.
    242
  661. billy howerdell is one of, if not the most, underrated musicians/songwriters/guitarists/composers of all time.
    242
  662. Our condolences and love go out to you, Rick. I wish we all had an Aunt Penny in our lives. May her memory be a blessing. KT
    242
  663. This is the difficulty that I struggle with when watching Rick's videos. I've been watching since the early months of the channel. I've grown more, as a musician in these years than I did in the previous 30, however... The shift from the early composing and theory videos to full on historian has been so humbling and wonderful. It's joyous to hear these stories, to see the documentation that is being preserved through these conversations. Interviewing doesn't cover the scope, because an interviewer is often reciting questions without the depth of knowledge that only a peer can provide. As @MrAlans123 said, listening is key, but I think Rick's knowledge is what elevates these videos to something else. These conversations NEED to be recorded for future generations, not because of the individual, but because the individual is able to say what they need to say, as a Musician. That insight is not lost on me, and I know it's not lost on most viewers of this channel. Dominic was a tremendous guest here and was able to speak clearly in a manner that will benefit everyone who watches this. His creative skill is clearly evident, but sussing out the origins, from traveling from South America to Wisconsin to England, showcases how those influences gave him a language that he has been able to share with the world. Bravo Rick and bravo Dominic. Thank you sharing this with us.
    242
  664. Rick can teach music theory, he can geek out air-guitar style, he can really tell a story. But best of all, he conjurs up that world of lost bands, real human musicians and the live-scene music listening public that's still around. In his friend Rob, I see any one of those many good musicians and great people that many of us know, that many of us are. An homage to human connection and connecting Get outta the device. Get real, get into the air. Rick Beato lives it.
    242
  665. Every once in a while you find content that justifies the existence of the internet. This is one of those times. So much more than a video about music. And Peter Frampton, a genius for sure, but what an awesome guy!
    240
  666. Thanks for buying that Gibson Custom Shop Double Gold SG from us!
    239
  667. Old man vigorously shakes cane at sky. Love your vids Rick
    237
  668. Rick, what an absolutely spiritual, musically transcendent conversation with an incredible artist. How did it make you feel to have Tori tell you that hearing your appreciation video of Little Earthquakes (one of your best videos IMHO) was a big lift for her when she was blue? I've done hundreds of interviews myself, both in the interviewer chair and behind the camera and your deftness and thoughtful engagement with her was a masterclass in how to be a GREAT interviewer. She is quite an extraordinary person and artist and you brought her out in a way of talking about her process that I've never heard before. Kudos and well done. Keep going down your list, I'm so glad that you have these incredible conversations with some of the best musicians and artists of our time, this is obviously your legacy and these conversations will endure and be valuable for far longer than any of us will be alive to see.
    237
  669. I just love how you promote the little people out there who really deserve it. You're one of the people I'm unlikely to ever meet in real life, but I consider you a true mentor.
    237
  670. Rick is the most honest interviewer out there, and that honesty has earned him the trust of people like Sting and Maynard. Very cool.
    237
  671. Nice to hear about Johnny 🙏 Thanks for sharing Rick
    236
  672. One of the very few channels where I press thumb up before it begins.
    236
  673. Everytime that Rick strums a chord while the music still playing he is just automatically enhancing the songs...guitar master like him do that!
    236
  674. Tosin, besides being one of the best players around, is one of the nicest guys in the business! Thanks Rick!
    235
  675. Been teaching music for 30 years and I’m realizing I don’t know crap. Got your book, though, so I am working on it. Thanks for what your doing, Rick!!!!!
    234
  676. This channel is so unique. A pure channel for musicians, music lovers, fans. You learn, you're entertained, you learn again and sometimes Rick interviews the greatest artists of all time and I feel like they're sitting in my living room too.
    233
  677. Well, I don't know if I'm humbled, humiliated or embarrassed having just listened to Rick's incredible analysis and dissection of this classic work by PF. I always approached music as art that I let flow over me without giving any thought about or credit to the genius behind the song. When I picked up a guitar for fun three years ago at age 70 it became more obvious how much work musicians actually put into their creations. Very grateful that Rick lends his considerable talent toward helping me appreciate music even more.
    233
  678. I am only 15 minutes into this and IT IS SO AWESOME!!!! What a gift Rick has bestowed upon us to get to hear one of the true giants of 20th century music....hell, of any century's music. Ron Carter is a true gentleman and scholar, as David Stanton said below, what a fabulous historical document. Thank you Mr. Carter, and thank you Rick!
    233
  679. Rick Beato's ear ability to decipher any riff and phrase even as complex as Holdsworth, I'm really impressed.
    232
  680. Rick is going to be the most influential musicologist of this century and one of the greatest catalysts in helping to inspire the next generation of artists. Thank you for doing this!
    232
  681. I am constantly delighted by these videos. It's like having a cool music professor next door just popping over to say hi and chat about music. When growing up as a guitarist in the 80's I would have never dreamed that something like this would ever exist. Rick you are a treasure and how lucky is the current generation of aspiring musicians to have Mr B sharing his knowledge.
    232
  682. Any young U2 fans here? I'm 16 and feel kinda lonely with my taste of music😅
    231
  683. Can't we just give Rick a DMA degree and call him Professor. He always analyzes and teaches great information even though most of the time I have no idea what he's saying. I should have paid more attention in my theory classes. Honestly, he's one of the best out there. A musician's musician.
    231
  684. If this gets a Copyright strike. Rick: "THE ARTIST IS IN THE VIDEO!!"
    231
  685. You just became something more than "the guy I like to hear discuss music theory" in my eyes. This video was moving in a way that you don't encounter much on YouTube. Peace be with you, and here's to Johnny 🍻. Gone but not forgotten.
    229
  686. I wish I had you turning me on to music and musicians when I was a teenager, instead of now that I’m 64. But you are making my life richer at this point. I can’t understand how any one person has the wealth of music knowledge and appreciation that you do. God bless you Rick Beato.
    229
  687. This is personal, sir: thank you in this moment for this coat-pull towards what my 82 year old lifetime schooled musician ears (jazz, classical, blues, world) have been noodging me to. Retired & with endless enthusiasm for your videos — so many of which i've seen multiple times — this particular vid may be the most impactful of all for me. ps: i've been a subscriber since your start, and bought your books to be supportive. Now i have the nudge to read them — arrogant of me i now think rather than "been there done that. "
    229
  688. It’s obvious Rick’s peers totally respect and appreciate the insight with which he dissects the songs. When Rick plays the piano notes of Freddie’s amazing singing it really brings home the beauty and intricacy of the melodies. As a non musician Rick’s analysis enhances the listening experience and deepens my appreciation immeasurably for the music. Rick is simply a treasure.
    228
  689. I’m lost for words on how insightful this interview is! Rick, you truly are the historical custodian of all things music and sonic. From early 90’s grunge, modern progressive metal dent, 50’-60’s jazz or film soundtrack scores, you are just spreading the love with passion and insight. You are the music gatekeeper Rick!
    228
  690. I have cystic fibrosis, diabetes, and I was born with that cleft palate and lip. But I'm grateful for all of those things. When I first heard AC/DC at the age of 9, I knew I had to do the guitar thing. Thanks to having cystic fibrosis, Gibson guitars gave me a Les Paul through the Make-A-Wish foundation. Marshall amps gave me a cool Valvestate 2×12 and that rig put me on my path. I've never given up on music. Being sick and spending well over a year in the hospital throughout my life, is the reason I met my girlfriend who was my nurse! We've been together for 15 years now. Don't get me wrong; being sick certainly sucks, But it allowed me to rock and find love in this life. Thank you Rick. And thank you to those reading my comment. Rock on.
    228
  691. I actually feel nervous as I'm about to watch this -- and yes, I know that's silly, but it's truly how I feel -- because this is one of the greatest and most complete songs of all time, and I love everything Rick Beato creates and produces, so I must warn you all that I might lose my mind in the best possible way when I view this. Stay tuned. Back in a few.
    228
  692. Happy to see you're doing well Rick have a speedy recovery!
    227
  693. Nobody ever played the guitar with more pure joy than Tommy. That's why he is so special to me. Ultimate happiness of guitar playing.
    225
  694. An honest thought: Any average song sounds better with Rick's dissection
    225
  695. Here’s an idea. You should have the live show across the country at various venues. You could interview that region’s local talent. For instance, I live in Oklahoma. You could interview the Wayne Coyne and the rest of the Flaming Lips.
    225
  696. Rick: Brings in own singer to comply with Youtube rules. Youtube: How can we find a way to screw with this?
    224
  697. Oh Rick.. I'm terribly sorry for your loss.. In such a short clip, she taught us more about life than we thought we knew..
    223
  698. Never underestimate the impact a positive role model has on a child.
    223
  699. Beato, you basically own the “interviewing musical artists” genre. Some of the best content being created today on any platform. Don Beato, we salute you!
    223
  700. Ella really should have been in the top 10. Just sayin’. Great idea for a video. Thanks Ben. :)
    221
  701. Rick is a musician's musician. The reason these interviews are so perfect is because we're watching Rick being amazed at his guests along with us. If the interviewer is GENUINELY interested and fascinated by his guests, it makes the perfect interview.
    219
  702. you guys are popular because you treat your audiences like adults. You share knowledge on the basis that you think it's worth sharing. People are starved of knowledge in traditional media. You remind us there is richness to life.
    218
  703. Rick, I can tell you that the influence this album had on you is the same as the influence your channel has had on me, and I’m pretty sure that that holds true for many of your millions of followers. Your name should be hailed forever as one of the music greats, because I believe it to be true that you’ve inspired a whole generation of musicians (jazz or otherwise). Thank you for everything!
    218
  704. "Not only is his vocal good, but his haircut is amazing!" That might be your best WMTSG quote yet!
    217
  705. I really love how Rick always brings something up, the guest starts answering/reacting, and Rick says: "Talk about that!" THIS is the most important thing about interviewing, let the guest share their opinions, knowledge, whatever. Rick ENCOURAGES them. I mean, look at the Nuno interview. That guy's is CONSTANTLY talking and Rick just sits there and lets him tell us his stories. This is priceless.
    217
  706. If you score a Pete or Roger interview you will be my hero forever
    217
  707. I spent a lot of quality time with Rob Aldridge in the late 80's and early 90's and watched Hollyfaith get really good really quickly. I reconnected with Rob in 2016 and spent some more quality time with Rob laughing the entire time and sharing cool stories. Every second with Rob is quality time. I never met anyone like Rob and I never will again. My cousin Brian played drums with Hollyfaith for about 6 months and also recorded with Umajets. Tim Smith is also a really great guy with positive energy. It's a privilege being friends with these people.
    216
  708. A year or so back, my instrumental arrangement of the Eagles ‘Take It To The Limit’ was removed from YouTube. I contested it on the grounds that it stated in YouTube’s Music Policy section that demonetised covers of the track were allowed. The video was swiftly reinstated. Fast forward a few months, not only was the video blocked again but I was also served a Copyright Strike. I contested but heard nothing back so decided it was easier to keep my nose clean and wait for it to expire than risk running into further issues and losing my channel. This stuff is insane. The people who make these decisions are a law unto themselves.
    216
  709. I imagine a band playing and their guitar player passes out. The band asks if there are any guitarists in the audience that can play their set. Up comes Rick, and says “I can, give me 5 mins to listen to your Spotify playlist”. Show resumes.
    216
  710. this need to be fixed
    215
  711. Recieved mine some months ago. I felt just scared that all my work could be deleted. It's infinitely worse that is applied to you if you dont even show full songs. Even they get you to fill a report as you were a bad kid that did some bad action. Humilliating. Something has to be done and it's so unfair to know how little you can do. Thanks for your videos.
    215
  712. Dude, Rick is not just an interviewer, he is an educator that is also building the biggest archive of long form conversation with the most talented musicians and producers!
    215
  713. I love this pair. Rick is a great interviewer, in part because he is so knowledgeable, but mainly because he can keep his train of thought while actually listening (is this perhaps a jazz musician thing?). Adam is such a nerd in the best of ways, and has an intense and humble intelligence that allows him to make incredibly insightful connections and talk about anything from a musical point of view. They are cultural treasures and much more than "youtubers" (they will outlast the platform).
    215
  714. Dear Rick. I have to thank you for one of the most beautiful interviews ever. It meant too much for me. It was new year 1981 to 1982 when I first heard The Dregs. I was spending the holidays in a farm in the interior of Brazil. I had just lost my father and my girl friend. Steve's music kind of assembled me together again. The way you directed the interview just made humanist Steve's personality bloom. Thank you again.
    213
  715. "talent is one thing......but getting up in the morning and putting on your boots and doing something about it is another...." never have truer words been spoken! ❤😎
    213
  716. Great news, Rick. Talking for me: it's not curiosity, it's affection. And for those who say you're a national treasure, here is an Italian living in Spain who loves your channel and contents, and respect you a lot – said with a smile. Music has no boundaries!
    212
  717. I like how Rick breaks down “ flex” for us old guys lol thanks Rick!
    212
  718. These interviews NEED to be on the Library of Congress. These are the BEST of music! Incredible, Rick!
    211
  719. I think the world should elect a ‘music czar’ to rule without question in these instances and many others. I hereby elect Rick for this hypothetical yet desperately needed position in society.
    211
  720. Rick youre so polite.....these are some awful songs
    211
  721. Well done. And 100% agree about Adam and Larry. Under-appreciated.
    211
  722. Glad you're giving small, lesser-known songs a chance to shine.
    211
  723. Why do we have to compare artists to each other and debate who is better? Why can't we just enjoy their music for the beauty it really is?
    210
  724. I go to a Catholic seminary run by Benedictine monks, and we have weekly chant/music classes. I came into class one day and was shocked to see that our monk teacher was showing us your videos! He said he loves how you explain musical theory and critique modern music. Thank you for sharing your gift of musical knowledge with us!
    210
  725. Oh man Rick - God forbid you assume people have an attention span! Your videos are always well thought out, detailed and comprehensive. It’s frustrating that people pounce just for the sake of doing that, but you keep on keeping on cause I’ve learned a lot from you- you are the best!! Sincerely, A fan who watches the whole video!
    209
  726. Rick you are the best music teacher I've ever had.
    209
  727. When I grow up I want to be like Rick Beato. Also: I am 50 ….
    208
  728. Of course everyone knows how great Maynard is, but man is Billy a musician's musician. He has some serious musical genius in him that is perfectly matched with Maynard's style, this whole band, every instrument is just tops.
    208
  729. Gather round kids! ‘Tis story time with the coolest dude on the internet
    208
  730. Rockin the APC hat! Perfect tie in to the previous interview. You're really killing it lately Rick!!!! That Maynard interview might have been the most divulgent I've ever seen him. He must respect you! 😂
    208
  731. This is one of the most generous interviews I've ever heard. From both sides, interviewer and guests... Is an authentic deep dive into these great minds. A treasure for what we musicians are thankful to you Rick
    207
  732. Seal - what a humble soul. "I was just trying to figure out my new Tascam..."
    207
  733. I'm gonna' figure Jimmy Page just became a Rick Beato fan .. given that the boys likely made a decision to let this one re-post .. you know Jimmy just heard this, loved it, and told his management to stop their banhammering. .. I bet he's going through all the Beato stuff now. Learnin' jazz theory. :)
    207
  734. 17:51 - "Nice studio" - the highest compliment from LA's foremost session guitarist!
    206
  735. This video interview is better than some recent movies that have come out. It is roughly an hour and 20 min and it felt like 10. It was so engaging. Rick and Thomas seemed to have a genuine rapport and the tone was conversational and fun and it was so clear that they shared a deep common vocabulary. The examples that were played were beautiful and illustrative. Really, really well done.
    206
  736. I feel you bro! A few years ago I got two copyright strikes out of the blue on some of my biggest 100 riffs videos and they took them down. At the time over 3 years ago now they each had over 3 million views as well. Frustratingly I played all the music and arranged it as a medley and they were only 5 second clips which was surely fair use but anyway to avoid losing my channel I took down 4 of my other biggest videos with over 9 million views in total! Totally ruined my channel but it wasn’t worth risking losing my channel at the time and I basically gave up. Would have had over 10 million views each now which really sucks but what can you do! Publishers are greedy fuckers! We promote their music!! I don’t know why they just don’t leave the videos up and share the revenue 🙈🙈 Found out a lot of my claims are false and I have taken back a lot of my videos you should fight the claims!
    205
  737. Hey Rick, you should update your "Top 20 outro solos of all time" and include 8:01. Seriously, that solo deserves to be at least an honorable mention!
    205
  738. Rick beato needs to become ceo of Spotify...
    204
  739. When I first saw that this interview was over an hour and forty minutes, I said to myself that I will watch it in segments. But after I started watching I just couldn't stop and didn't want it to end. That's the magic of Beato with amazing iconic guests like Andy Summers. Thank you Rick for making this possible.
    204
  740. Possibly my favourite Rick Beato episode ever. How about 100 episodes of ‘What makes Allan Holdsworth Great”....
    204
  741. You continue to top yourself Rick. Keep them coming. What an archive for future generations.
    204
  742. I SECOND RICK'S RANT! POWER TO THE YOUTUBE CREATORS! EDUCATION FOR THE PEOPLE!
    203
  743. Sting looks properly chuffed to be interviewed by someone who speaks his musical language.
    201
  744. Peter Frampton said "music is my key to life", but I think Rick Beato is the key to unlocking great music across so many genres. I'm now in a Pat Metheny rabbit hole, thank you RB.
    201
  745. Jeff has a slow deliberate speaking style and I have heard so many nervous interviewers jump in and cut him off. Thank you for giving him the time to finish those awesome stories. Excellent job, Rick.
    201
  746. “So I DMed Peter Frampton...” reminds me of when Rick casually mentioned reaching out to Eric Johnson for the Stairway guitar solo video. I definitely need cooler friends haha.
    200
  747. Wow, Rick - you didn’t just pick one of The Who’s best songs - you picked one of the greatest songs of all time!
    200
  748. First time in all my 49 years fueled by ACDC, Metallica , Aerosmith, Ozzy, GnR, etc, I actually enjoyed a jazz song bc Rick made it so fun. Wow!
    200
  749. Rick, you are a gifted storyteller as well as musician
    199
  750. At 11:19 when Rick said "I don't know what they're saying", I was thinking the same thing. I'm a Spanish speaker
    198
  751. Rick, this is one of the finest interviews on YouTube in my opinion. Not least because you let Pat talk - and the questions and observations that you put to him are informed (of course! After all you are Rick Beato!) ...but you never set out to mystify or exclude the viewer/listener - as if the two of you exist on some ethereal plane that other musicians such as I, aren't qualified to exist on. You make the conversation natural and accessible. As a life-long admirer of the one-of-a-kind Mr Metheny, it's to heartening to listen to the two of you talk about 'feel' and the emotional significance of music as the essence of transcendence, as opposed to complex technique. This, in my humble opinion, is what all aspirant and experienced players need to hear. Thank you so much for sharing this honest, charming and important conversation with us.
    198
  752. Contention for best video on youtube and I'm only 0.01 seconds into it.
    198
  753. What the heck!!!! My mind is blown, I am from aruba and pepe Gonzales was my guitar teacher!!!! I cant believe you mentioned him. Such a small world
    197
  754. Finally we get the definitive interview with Michael McDonald.
    196
  755. YOU INTERVIEWED PAT METHENY my mind is blown!!! Thank you so much Rick for your incredible content!!
    196
  756. "Because it's played by humans" I just laughed inside. Because...Yes. Thanks Rick for this moment and the whole video.
    196
  757. Do you know the feeling when you listen to a song for the first time and you know that it will be with you for the rest of your life? That's how I feel about this song. Thank you so much, Rick, for introducing me to this song!
    195
  758. I'm a professional piano player for almost 40 years, proudly Canadian, whose jaw still hits the floor every time I see or hear Oscar Peterson. There will never again be anyone with that kind of surgical viscosity in front of any piano. Greatest of all time INDEED!!
    195
  759. Had to pause half way, what a fantastic interview, thank you Rick, really one of the best Sting interviews of all time. I have probably seen them all, from a huge sting fan, I truly appreciate the work you put into this. A+ man
    195
  760. One of the best, most personable and informative interviews I've ever seen, and it just happens to be my favorite composer ever! What a gift to the planet. Thank you, Rick.
    194
  761. Ten minutes in and I want to pour me a pint and sit down next to a warm fire and listen to me mate Rick Wakeman tell stories of his life. ❤
    194
  762. I'm a simple man, I see a Les Paul video, I click
    193
  763. As a Life long jazz fan, I gotta say that may be the best interviews I've ever heard. Congatulations Rick, you know all the right questions to ask. Now go work on those facial muscles , you must be sore from grinning !
    193
  764. I interviewed Ted a few years ago for his book about the Delta blues. Beyond being intelligent and talented, he was the most well-spoken author whom I've ever interviewed.
    193
  765. The level of engagement and interest that Rick is able to get out of these artists is unlike any standard media interview. They genuinely want to be there! As viewers we learn so much about the music and the people behind it. Bravo Rick!
    193
  766. I hear the Dorian mode is best played using D'Ddorian strings.
    192
  767. I'm a big fan of this channel. It so great to see a CC piece like this. Having been one of Christopher's engineers for many years I have to say there is so much amazing guitar work on all the albums in the catalog. For pure melody I'm really fond of the solo on "Curled Around the World" from Walking In Avalon. I also love Chris' meticulous acoustic fingerpicking work on the Christmas album and others. Also, I texted CC about this video so he has seen it.
    192
  768. 51:31 Tommy said it all. Rick, you're a treasure - documenting musical history by making these artists so comfortable and asking the right questions without interrupting. What a talent.
    192
  769. I am laughing and crying (literally). Billy recalling Alan Moulder's recollection of spending 7 hours mixing Kevin Shields guitar sound and using his dog's head tweaks and perked ears as a sort of guide is killing me. Bravo Rick, this is one of the greatest, illuminating Billy Corgan interviews ever committed to video. Both your guys knowledge and seemingly simpatico tastes and way of expressing the descriptions of music to words (not always easy) is awe inspiring.
    192
  770. Rick, where was “Cardinal Motion" in your "top 20 guitar solo outros of all time" video? Ranks right up there imho!
    191
  771. Rick, I’ve said it countless times but I’ll say it again!… Your storytelling content is just as good as your musical content. And thank you for all that you do - both on YouTube as well as with your programs and training materials. You sir, are a true gem.
    191
  772. Greats interviews. From Keith Jarrett to Brad Mehldau. Big educator, Rick Beato indicates the road to understand the great music of our time. Grande maestro. With much admiration and respect from Chile 🇨🇱
    190
  773. Adele: "I'm not really in to wah-wah..." You: "Oh..."*lean far forward on it...*click*
    190
  774. Rick has built not just a great YouTube channel but an entertainment venue that rivals anything on TV, streaming, podcasts, etc. Brilliant interviews. The 30:00 - 31:30 minute mark is elite guitar work. Simply insane.
    190
  775. For any musician, discovering this channel must be like winning the lottery! You can tell Rick truly lives and breathes to consume music in a way that enhances his life while also entertaining and enlightening millions of people around the world. This channel is an absolute goldmine for anyone who truly loves music, and sees it as a valuable part of their life.
    190
  776. Word gets around. What makes these INTERVIEWS great? The fact that you come at it from a place of respect, and you let them tell it their way. It’s not fluff, it’s not empty sensationalism. It’s entertaining because it’s not trying too hard to be so. Keep them coming Rick!!👍🏼👍🏼
    190
  777. Rick, this is what you do: I'm not a drummer, nor am I very familiar with the Pumpkins. But this is one of the coolest interviews I've ever seen and I am just incredibly grateful for it, as well as impressed with Chamberlin. Thank you so much.
    189
  778. Kim Thayil is a genius riff maker. Doesn't get the recognition he deserves.
    189
  779. I was blessed to see Oscar Peterson with Joe Pass and Ella Fitzgerald at the Music Center in Los Angeles when I was 16 years old (1980) I drove my self there in my 66 Mustang, wearing a suit. Needless to say, I was completely blown away. Great post Rick!
    189
  780. The content here is awesome. Over and above that, you are exactly what every young aspiring artist needs as an example. You are authentic, genuine and honest about the music. The music world seems overly populated with parrots and mechanics. Originality, creative effort and “feel” combined with technical competence are what makes great music. Thank you for sharing this insight into your experiences.
    189
  781. Rick - I wanted to drop you a line to say how much I appreciate the VERY IMPORTANT and VALUABLE contribution that you are making to our culture. I grew up loving music, studied recording engineering and was fortunate enough to find myself working in a major NYC recording studio in the 2000s. It felt like I got into that world right at the end of an era, but was so fortunate to experience working with great gear, tape machines, engineers, producers and artists. So much of the art and science of this stuff is passed down as an oral tradition, as you know. I felt almost despondent that it was being lost forever as most first class commercial recording studios were being wiped off the face of the earth, and music was getting worse and worse. I don’t think there’s anyone who is doing more to preserve all of this important knowledge than you. It is truly GOLD. I’m filled with gratitude for that. Please keep up the GREAT work. Zack
    189
  782. Just get a TOP guitarist, a TOP guitar, a TOP amplifier, mic it up with great microphones and Boom you get a great sound! Love Tim and love Rick!!!
    188
  783. The best way to stop COVID is to stay home and watch BEATO-VID
    188
  784. “Joni would love to have you out for a visit.” “Are you free for dinner?” One day in Rick’s life: Tosin, Vinnie, Joni
    188
  785. How the hell can you get more badass, legendary, humble, intelligent, AND wholesome than this? Rick is quickly becoming the legend we wish we all knew of decades ago. You are something special Rick beato. Even though you're twice or maybe triple my age I love you and I'm proud of everything you've done and are still doing... You are the man as far as YouTube musicians and teachers are concerned
    188
  786. disagree on AIC. Black gives way to blue is somewhat of a classic now
    187
  787. Martino had a left temporal lobectomy (due to severe epilepsy). The hippocampus, which is the structure which manages episodic memory formation and recall, lives in this region of the cerebral cortex and was damaged due to the surgery. Fine motor skills (aka muscle memory) are primarily the domain of the cerebellum - a completely difference structure in the back and underside of the of the cerebral cortex. What Martino had to do is relearn the connections to the fine motor regions - where those fine motor skills still remained. Essentially he had a huge leg up on a guitar newbie who will require years of training to build up those fine motor skills. Fascinating subject. RIP Pat.
    187
  788. he is not just an expert on nu metal. but probably all metal.
    186
  789. Rick, I am a Certified Financial Planner based in the Las Vegas area. Several musicians as clients. This was fantastic seeing this content. Kudos! If I could add anything: The importance of leveraging Retirement Accounts to reduce tax and set important assets away for retirement.
    186
  790. Rick, I love all your videos, especially when you talk about songs or artists. Talking about Jaco, I would like to see you talking about Joni MItchell's Mingus album, in which Jaco did a great son, or at least your "What makes this song geat" on The Dry Cleaner from Des Moines which is Jaco arranged so greatly. Your videos are something that makes my son and I sit together and hang out commenting on what you are showing. I owe you one for that.
    186
  791. Song begins. Rick looks caught off guard by a dragon. He's like "ok, hold on, I got this". Next he's playing those killer riffs. Rick's riding the dragon.
    185
  792. Rick has one of the best channels on YT. So immersive and a likeable guy.
    185
  793. We're your extended family, Rick. If it affects you, it affects us. This was heartfelt enough to bring tears to my eyes as I could see the hurt in yours. Please remember that proportionate to the depth of pain we feel when we lose a loved one, so too is the length, width, breadth and depth of love we held for them in life. You're a good man as was your friend Peter. Rest easy, Sir.
    185
  794. Shalom's board mixes are legendary.
    185
  795. The difference between his TOP 10 POP songs and TOP 10 Metal, is that he is actually having fun doing top metal songs.
    185
  796. Why is it that every interview Rick does with an artist I admire is the best interview with said artist that I've ever seen? He seems to have a strong rapport with everyone and asks the best questions. I'd say he needs to get his own TV show, but TV is so 20th century, isn't it?
    184
  797. Loved this Rick!
    184
  798. PLEASE NEVER QUIT YOUTUBE! You are performing a service that NO ONE ELSE is doing. And it is you just being yourself, which encourages others to do the same. As Oscar Wilde famously said, "Be yourself. Everyone else is already taken."
    184
  799. My new goal in life is to be a person Rick has known for 30 years or so. Day 1: Hey, Rick!
    184
  800. Overheard at a gig: Guitarist 1 - "Check it out, I figured out a new Holdsworth chord!" Guitari 2 - "That can't be a Holdsworth chord. It doesn't look painful enough!"
    184
  801. Peter Frampton is every bit the guitar god as his contemporaries Clapton, Page, Beck or even Hendrix. He just came to the party a bit late, and had a bit more pop than blues orientation. But the talent was all there and beyond.
    183
  802. "Bass player and drummer are nailing it by the third take..." That's one take too many for Two-Take Beato!
    182
  803. Not gonna lie, at this point I bet people will start reaching out to Rick to get some fresh juice on their catalogs. You're the best man. A true innovator, you've perfected something truly new and have created a whole genre of media.
    182
  804. One of the best videos out there on playing solo's in chord shapes I've seen. Ricks breakdown of Kid Charlemagne, honestly, should be a must see whether you're just starting out learning lead guitar or intermediate guitar player and even an advanced guitar player if you aren't using chord shapes in your soloing. Lightbulb moments! Literally step by step and easy to understand, maybe a little harder to learn and execute but a superb video to advance your playing. A couple other serious players that cover this are Guthrie Trapp and Shawn Tubbs. Excellent video Rick! Thank you!
    182
  805. Freaking incredible. I knew Peterson was considered a jazz piano great, but I didn't quite get why until this video. I worked on Pixar's Soul, and when Joe Gardner first steps into the Half Note jazz club he sees an image of Oscar Peterson on the wall. A well deserved place of honor.
    181
  806. This is not just a document about a genius who IS music, but also about time, ageing, and life with its offer to transcend oneself, and its drama and intrinsic tragedy. Very moving!
    181
  807. I had no idea The Cars were getting advice from Don Henley.
    180
  808. really, this part of the video (and her playing that song at the end) brought tears to my eyes. such a powerful reminder that we are all searchers and we need each other.
    180
  809. Maybe put out a record called Second Chance Hits, cuz this is phenomenal.
    179
  810. I think you’ve also built your audience because in-between the lines, you deliver wisdom. Each video shines with the knowledge of a professor, the energy of a rocker, and the cutting-detail of a producer
    178
  811. The audio angst of 90s music was about production as much as musicianship and you guys did your song and that era, justice. This video shows how special it is to be in a band at any age - the give and take camaraderie, the trust in each other's abilities, yet staking out your own musical real estate to create a whole that is greater than the individual parts. Well done!
    178
  812. I mean, if you make your money by people coming to your studio and playing your instruments, it makes good business sense to have a good variety of attractive instruments for them to play on.
    178
  813. Ah, so Ray Beato is the original "You'll never not hear that part again" guy.
    178
  814. I jumped for joy when City Nights started playing!!! thank you so much for talking about Allan!! ❤️
    178
  815. I’ve heard a LOT of interviews with Robben over the years Rick, but you genuinely trod new ground and he clearly respected your line of enquiry enough to open up about Miles. Genuinely laugh out loud, touching and insightful all at the same time.
    177
  816. The Beato flex! Pulls Seal up on the phone for a couple minutes, then back to business. Boss move. Next episode : "My Seal video was blocked"
    177
  817. And here are those 808s: ... (silence)... Man, listening on a laptop really sucks sometimes😂
    177
  818. Beautiful tribute Rick. There are many of us in the UK, just like Peter, who love what you do. 🔴⚪🔵
    176
  819. Daniel Baremboim was a regular visitor to my home when I was a child. My father, Harry Franklin, was a concert pianist. Barenboim always came for dinner when he was in town to perform with the PSO. Once he came with his wife, the great cellist Jacqueline du Pré. I have several stories. I know how kucky I was to have him (and many other classical music luminaries) as part of my past.
    176
  820. And that weird connecter is usb type c 😂😂😂 but i agree with everything else. Screw apple
    176
  821. Reading others' comments paints a clear picture of your interviews Rick. You ask questions that make people feel comfortable. You're not looking for the gotcha moment and your interviewees sense your tone. I could watch your interviews forever. Thank you for being you and caring about mining the best from them to leave a musical legacy.

  822. This ( 12:46 ) is an incredibly important quote for two reasons “when I wasn’t working… I would… practice for HOURS and hours and hours. Scales, arpeggios, new songs, learning Joe Pass solos, Larry Carlton solos, ANYTHING that was out. Rock, Jazz, Funk, Blues. My dad would just sit there…, never say a word for HOURS. He was incredibly supportive - he never would SAY anything - but he was there EVERY day. When I’d go out to practice, my dad would come out and sit down.” Rick’s father’s rock solid, consistent, quiet support along with Rick’s ear and drive and inquisitiveness, together, both showing up every day, is powerful.
    175
  823. My favorite Rick Beato video is now a video that isn't as much about music as it is about life. Well done, sir.
    175
  824. subscribers to this channel might not realise quite how lucky they are to have a music teacher like Rick to tune into on the regular. As an older dude in his 60s. . . back in the day it was quite the job to learn the little bits and pieces from friends, records and when I could afford it the occasional music lesson. Rick's turorial videos, unpacking and discussions are a priceless treasure. . just sayin
    174
  825. Me, I really love the way that you’ve taken your huge hard-earned following and are turning them on to jazz like this in your inimitably enthusiastic way...KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
    174
  826. Every time i watch Beato interview someone like Rick Rubin if feel like i'm watching history being made
    174
  827. This has got to be one of my favorite interviews of all time. I’m a guitar player and longtime huge Pumpkins fan, so I’m already very well familiar with how much of a true beast of a musician Jimmy is, but MAN… I had no idea the depth of insight he has as to the art he helps create. What an amazing musician he is. True to the very core.
    174
  828. Rick, this was a major contribution to the culture of the Universe. This will be watched for centuries. Thanks!! 🙏🏻
    173
  829. Another unmatched contribution from Rick Beato to the history of contemporary music.
    173
  830. This is why I love this channel. I never knew about these guys. This isn’t something I would search for. No computers of studio effects. Nothing but raw talent.
    173
  831. This is my favorite Rick Beato video EVER ! Two extremely talented, knowledgeable, experienced, & articulate musicians talking about what they care so deeply about.
    173
  832. Rick, this is your best work. Only a musician of your talent could draw out such a great stories and perspectives. You honored Jimmy and his work in how deftly you guided this interview. Bravo!
    173
  833. Rick is our guy, talking to famous musicians as equals, as mates. We love him because we're pretty sure he would be the same with us, we'd have a jam, it would be fun etc. He's a truly brilliant YouTuber and he's cornered the market in muso excellence imho.
    173
  834. Be careful, progressions like this can open up a portal.
    172
  835. Why isn't there a heart react for this? This is literally the most satisfying video I've seen on YouTube in years. More of this, please!
    172
  836. Never donated to any YouTube channel before and just donated to yours, Rick. I've watched this 3 times. Sent it to my 71 yr old Dad, both my brothers, and watched it with my 17 yr old son, who is working on one of Chopin's nocturnes for his piano recital. Rick, you are the bridge. What you're doing is a bridge. My Dad has said all my life that "Whiter Shade of Pale" was Air on a G String. He is fully vindicated to hear Sting and Dominic Miller say it. Soul Cages is my favorite Sting album. The song "Why Should I Cry for You?" guts me. Maybe there is a kid out there somewhere who will see this and get inspired to break us through this cul-de-sac of "stuck-ness" we are in as a culture, in music, politics, all of it. Keep fishing, good people.
    171
  837. The proof of what a great guy Rick is and what a great and respectful interviewer his he is is that almost every single person he interviews wants to get together again and do it again. He just makes it so enjoyable for the subject, and that sets him among the elite interviewers. What a treasure is this channel!!
    171
  838.  @RickBeato  All 2M subscribers appreciate it.
    171
  839. I'm still underestimating Rick's huge amount of knowledge about music. Soo cool! I'm learning with every new video!
    171
  840. Rick is my Johnny Carson of musician interviews. I don’t understand a lot of the technical stuff, but I get carried away by his passion, so it doesn’t matter.💕
    171
  841. Me: I can't find anything exciting in Youtube anymore. Rick Beato: Hold my soundboard!
    170
  842. 3 absolute legends in one room
    170
  843. This video had nothing to do with new ideas - it strictly is testing YouTube, but I approve 100%.
    170
  844. Mateus Asato, we are very proud of your carreer here in Brasil mate. Our country always offered the world great musicians like Eumir Deodato, João Gilberto, Sérgio Mendes, Kiko Loureiro, Eliane Elias, etc, and you are one of our stars now.
    170
  845. This video makes me so happy that Youtube, and this channel, exists. In 2005, long after their popularity peaked, I was a 13 year old kid obsessed with Smashing Pumpkins. Absolutely no one that I knew had even heard of the band and listening to Siamese Dream and quite literally memorizing every note of Mellon Collie, and teaching myself a lot of guitar through both albums, made me feel as powerful as any edgy 13 year old nerd could possibly feel. So seeing my childhood hero talk about how he made the music that shaped me as a young teen is an absolute treasure.
    169
  846. That moment when it's just 2 guys enjoying the sound of guitar. They could be anywhere, but at the root of it, it's all about the feeling you get when music fills you. Dom obviously gets it. Rick gets it. Rick there have been many who have graced your presence, and I don't doubt there will be many more. There are all kinds of interviews out there but it's very rare that the interviewee is mutually excited to sit down and talk shop. Not surface level shop, real nuts and bolts. thank you.
    169
  847. That was the fastest 50 minutes of my week. I could have listened to you both for hours. Thank you! Unexpected and delightful
    169
  848. I really wasn't prepared to like this as much as I did. I stopped halfway through to start over so I could put on my good headphones and really listen. Mark has an instantly likable voice, and by the end I was hooked. Great job, great mix, drum sound was so tasty! Kudos all around.
    169
  849. I wasn't a big fan of Frampton back in the day for the reasons that so many have pointed out here. My God, I was an idiot. After watching this it pisses me off that I didn't woodshed this entire song in high school. The things I could have learned. Also, you're a scary talent, Mr. Beato. Loving your channel.
    169
  850. Knowing how much this band means to Rick, couldn’t help but smile through this whole video - especially when they’re playing together. I know the feeling, got to play guitar with a few of my guitar heroes. Such a special occasion. Thank you for sharing.
    169
  851. 100% I’m a music teacher in Tampa no one practices at home I ask every lesson “what did you practice?” Not even my older students except for one she’s 75 and learning to play the drums but she’s a crazy exception haha
    168
  852. Oscar owned a piano. Everyone else rents one.
    168
  853. I speak on behalf of music lovers in Italy; we love Matteo, as he embodies a perfect synthesis of our traditions, blending classical and jazz music with influences from blues, metal, and more. We are proud of him! Thank you, Rick, for what you're doing for music.
    168
  854. Funny watching someone play air guitar who can actually play guitar
    167
  855. I appreciate how Rick casually exposes the bloated overproduction of most songs in passing through his accurate guitar playing with the appropriate chord progression. On the one hand you can hear the sound intended by the producers, but at the same time it is mercilessly reduced to its sometimes very thin skeleton by Rick's accompaniment.
    167
  856. Who needs a teacher for theory when you can just binge Rick Beato videos
    167
  857. How lucky we all are to have a person of Ricks caliber politely interviewing famous, crafted humble musicians who have invested some much of their lives into making timeless music that will live forever. Thank you Rick and Andy
    167
  858. Rick’s video making work ethic is incredible. He’s able to pump out quality content so consistently
    166
  859. Very cool, I put messages on the Facebook pages of JPJ, Led Zeppelin, Page and Plant asking them to give this an exception. Not sure if that contributed, but who cares, this needs to be available.
    166
  860. If you were merely showcasing great and often forgotten music, that would be enough. But you making music aceessible to a wider audience--that takes the cake!
    165
  861. I'm regularly- almost always- completely unprepared for the content on your posts. And almost always mind blown. The reminder of the beauty of music just never gets old.
    165
  862. Big Sting fan here. This is, by far, the most interesting Sting interview I’ve seen in many, many years, what a treat! Sting gets asked the same questions over and over again and you already know what he’s going to say when you hear them… Your interview was entirely original and in the end it shows that Sting really appreciated it. I love your channel, even though I’m not a musician and don’t understand much of the stuff that you talk about. But I do love music! All the best to you, sir, cheers from Lisbon, Portugal.
    165
  863. Great react, Rick! I wanna know who the artists are today that could sit and fiddle around and good off like that to create and get away with it!
    165
  864. You can see Rick enjoys every second of his job
    165
  865. You are also speaking for that person with 100 followers who gets screwed but when they scream no one hears, for that thank you Rick.
    164
  866. What a beautiful tribute. What separates your channel from so many others isnt just the breadth of your intellect and your heartfelt enthusiasm, but your humanity. Which, after all, is the essence of great music. Well done, Rick. And my deepest sympathy for your loss.
    164
  867. Satch is an absolute legend and the interviewer really helped him to open up here. I've seen many interviews with Satch and this is one of the best, if not the best. Great job, Rick Beato 🙏
    164
  868. Okay, seriously... I have been perusing Rick's channel for some time and might have even made a comment or two. And I have to be honest, I have never heard of Martha Argerich before now. While I'm deeply entrenched in progressive metal, I keep at least one toe into the waters of jazz, ambient, Afro, chill/downtempo and classical. I'd like to believe that I'm more exposed to music than most. But Martha? A woman who speaks at least five languages (fluently, I might add) and plays with the same frenetic pace in her 80s as she did in her 20s while I can barely play Subdivisions at the age of 48? It's almost unfair. Thanks for sharing, Rick!
    164
  869. I don’t comment often, but I feel the need to on this. We can always do the Pixies comparison as it’s not only warranted and easy, but Kurt said so himself. What some people miss is Kurt’s pop sensibilities “borrowed” from the Cheap Trick playbook - AKA - play the melody... but hearing your piano take, I urge you to listen to Aerosmith’s Dream On for a comparison to the melancholia you mention. I think you’ll see that a bit of Kurt’s singing comes from that era. I mean, Kurt DID write a song called AeroZeppelin. Anyway, I always love your takes and just wanted to add some food for thought, as I think a lot of folks miss the “classic rock” connection in the grunge era. Be well, Rick and thank you for doing what you do. :)
    164
  870. Thanks for not naming me among the ignorant Hypes....of COURSE I knew her...because of you. :)
    164
  871. I realized something. Rick's a bit older than me, as was most artists/producers who I listened to in my youth. Which is why when he interviews these talents, they're mapping to the music I grew up to in the 80s and 90s. Thank you Rick for literally reviving the soundtrack of my youth with your insightful interviews. No one else extracts the musical knowledge out of these artists like you do, because you speak their language.
    164
  872. I am 74, and I have always wondered why no one even MENTIONS the late, great Joe Pass. When I saw him play, I knew that he was the single greatest jazz player that ever picked up a guitar. THANK YOU for posting this story. Btw, I'm incredibly impressed how you taught yourself all those complicated progressions by ear!! Quite an accomplishment, one that I'm sure your father would have been proud of.
    164
  873. Rick, you should release all of these tracks to us fans so we can try making our own mixes. Maybe you can even make it a competition and play the mixes you like the most.
    163
  874. Would you look at that, it wasn't all that long ago that Rick hit the one million subscriber milestone and now he's almost at a million and a half. Nice work Rick! You certainly deserve it.
    163
  875. Rick, on behalf of your channel fans, your fellow Ithaca College alums, and Beatles fans everywhere, THANK YOU for making and sharing this narrated tour of Abbey Road! Your own knowledge of musicians and recording studio technology and practice led you to ask all manner of informed and worthwhile questions of Mirek Stiles to delight and enlighten us about this historic facility. Had I been in your shoes my favorite part of the tour would have been traversing that famous Studio 2 staircase. What a wonderful treat to be able to vicariously share your experience here! THANK YOU again, Rick!--Don in Indiana (IC, B.Mus.Ed.1978, M.M. 1981)
    163
  876. Sounds like Alex doesn’t bury the stick into the head. Try letting the stick rebound from the head while keeping the the stick buried on the rim for a more open sound like playing a conga. Sorry to to get so drummy technical. I wouldn’t dare question Jacks skills. I’m a big fan of his drumming!!!
    163
  877. I love seeing the mutual respect both Rick Beato and Willow Smith have for each other. You couldn't get a bigger endorser than Willow Smith saying she is going through Rick Beato's ear training course. It is so awesome to see Willow Smith rockin' an Andy Powers guitar too.
    163
  878. As a drummer, I'm amazed at the drumming legends Rick has interviewed. I still tend to think of drummers as being under- appreciated by other musicians. When i see Steve Jordan, Dennis Chambers, Vinnie Colaiuta, and now Gregg here for interviews, Rick's knowledge of our standard bearers always impresses me.
    163
  879. This is why I love Rick Beato. He is able to put into words what the rest of us feel. He dissects Beck’s phrasing and touch with surgical precision, but does so with almost child-like awe, never with an I-know-more-than-you-about-music attitude. He helps me APPRECIATE Beck’s gift. It reminds me of looking at a piece of art…then taking an art history class…maybe learn something about the artist, or the era in which the artist worked. You go back and look at the painting and it’s like a totally new piece of work. See, the painting hasn’t changed. You have. Rick changes the way I see and hear things, and in my book, there is no greater praise for a teacher. Thank you, Rick.
    163
  880. What amazes me the most about these WMTSG episodes is that you can take a song I've been hearing for 40+ years and open my ears up to hearing things I never heard before. In essence making an old song new again. Awesome. Thank-you!
    162
  881. I got my degree in music(guitar) degree in the late 60's early 70's because of the Beatle's compositional sophistication. The theory and ear training was everything in understanding what goes into great compositions, be it classical , jazz, rock, etc. What Rick is showing is that every part is a composition on its own. Orchestration. Anybody who has had this training knows exactly what I'm talking about. Stick with Rick and you'll be so far ahead in the game should you decide to go to school or into the music biz. This video made me so happy to see that the old compositional techniques are alive and well! Thankyou Rick.
    162
  882. Whatever else you want to say about U2, this record is phenomenal. It sounds like America somehow.
    162
  883. This interview is why Rick has so many subs. Great Content---- period.
    162
  884. These are all pop songs with Rock elements. Every instrument have gone through lot of digitalisation. Sound doesn't reveal the player, but it reveals mixers and sound engineers fingerprint. Real rock music in my opinion it's more analogue. There should be feel of the studio in the sound, with cigarette smoke and whisky breath on the air.
    162
  885. Just when you thought Rick Beato couldn't possibly get any cooler he goes and does a fantastic WMTSG video for a Gordon Lightfoot song! Love this! My dad was a big fan of Gordon Lightfoot, and GL was always in heavy rotation on our local Detroit radio stations. Now, if we can somehow talk Rick into doing a Bob Seger WMTSG video that would be fantastic as well.
    161
  886. Rick, you are the damn best interviewer on all of YouTube. Your knowledge of all of these people the music the instruction everything about it this was a fabulous fabulous interview. This is absolutely thrilling to watch this interview Rick you did a great job and he is just amazing guy.
    161
  887. That Carlton solo left most of us just shaking our heads. It makes sense that you were the kid that figured it out. :)
    161
  888. Rick Beato; artist, musicologist, educator, philosopher. Keep up the good work
    161
  889. In 10 years we’ll look back on these early days of YouTube and joke about all the crap we went through to teach music. Or at least I hope so.
    161
  890. Have I just seen the best interview of Sting in history? Yes. Yes I have. And it was such a delight to see how sting responds to a compelling interview that challenges and evokes and yes, sometimes traipses over the familiar tropes because not everybody knows Sting as well as some of us. But man was that not just the coolest? Thank you Rick! What an absolute pleasure that was and I hope it inspires people to look into staying and Dominic and all the great music that they've made together and enjoy the people that they are and the way that they express themselves. That was such a pleasure.
    161
  891. I think I mainly like that Rick is so in love with music…maybe on a whole different level but I lust like when he air drums or air guitars. He feels every part. That’s why I’m a subscriber and avid viewer. Keep it up Rick!!
    160
  892. Consummate professional, loves what he does, no ego, and takes care of his people. Doesn’t get any better than that in my book. Bravo!!!!!
    159
  893. I’m a jazz musician who wandered my way into Rick’s videos (because I’m also a child of 90’s alt rock/metal) and I just have to give a shout out to Rick for using his well-subscribed and widely viewed platform to give jazz a voice. Jazz is Black American Music, and it (and of course it’s mother, the blues) has played a wider influence on the music world than most Americans realize. I owe these guys everything. And “Relaxin’” was really the album that got me into Miles and Red Garland. ... Anyhow, THANK YOU RICK for using your platform to hip the world to jazz!!
    159
  894. I am so glad that my Beato Club dues go towards producing this kind of content. Thanks Rick.
    159
  895. Instantly clicked on this. Love this series because I really don't listen to this stuff much, but this helps me make sense of it. Thanks, Rick.
    158
  896. During this time of apathy, indifference, and disfunction, it is really great to see an enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and talented musician sharing his love of such a beautiful jazz icon. The Bebop Era spawned some of the greatest talents and it's still awe inspiring to see and hear them perform. Thank you.
    158
  897. Jesus Christ, I was in bits at the end of that, Rick. I'm truly sorry for your loss, man. I've never wanted to reach out and give someone a hug quite as much as I did just now. On a much more upbeat note, that Framptonesque solo you played was sensational. I'm so glad I follow your channel.
    158
  898. Rick you should do also The rise and fall the 80s hair metal rock movement!!!!!!!
    158
  899. Rick, today is the 4 year anniversary of my heart transplant. The most amazing gift there is. It was during my recovery that I became aware of your channel. I am the former owner of Sound Construction and Supply, inc. and I have been on both sides of the glass for over 40 years. I am grateful for all the great talent you have brought to your channel. A very speedy recovery to you. The best is yet to come.
    157
  900. Is this the birth of « what makes this song great » jazz edition?? ❤️❤️
    157
  901. Rick you strummed a Dm7 chord followed by an open E tone in one of your vids..... I forget which one, but I'm gonna need a cut. Rant on!
    157
  902. Can’t believe you bought the guitar needed to recreate the sound! Too cool. Love your videos.
    157
  903. Being a Dane, and being the son of a musician, I have been lucky enough to both being introduced to great jazz by my dad, just as you describe it, and to hear NHØP play live several times. Once was with Oscar Peterson and Joe Pass here in Copenhagen, probably some time in the mid or late 70's. My dad was a jazz guitarist, and extremely fond of Joe Pass, and through his connections he managed to get me and a couple of class mates from high school into the Copenhagen jazz place called Montmatre to hear the trio. It still stands as one of the great concert experiences of my life (I'm 60 now) - the music, the ambiance (smoke, beer, cool people) and not least the fact that I got myself and a couple of good friends in for free. Awesome! And great to see that you offer Niels Henning some credit. He is one of the all time great jazz bassists. Thanks for bringing back that memory.
    156
  904. I've been watching Rick for a while and can say that he is very much a "stream of consciousness" YouTuber. That is to say, he makes videos out of whatever part of his vast mental database of music is striking his fancy on that particular day. This is what makes Rick great.
    156
  905. I'm in post Chemo pain and this whole made me smile.. love the tones and playing...and whole attitude ❤
    156
  906. I just can’t like this enough. Hope this helps Rick.
    155
  907. You really touched on something interesting. Obviously there are a plethora of amazing players out there, some of which we would have never known without the internet and YT. But once in a while someone like Gambale reminds you of what true greatness looks like. It's like marveling at a Transformer, not seeing that Godzilla stands behind it.
    155
  908. When you started talking about your father, I went to tears. I lost my father a month ago...... That music is awesome.
    154
  909. When Dave spoke about Tina, Jeff, and other musicians that are no longer with us, the sadness in Dave's tone and on his face really hit me hard, and I never worked with any of those people. See your heroes live before they're gone
    154
  910. Rick, your uncopyable also. As much as I thought enjoyed music, you have opened a door that was unbreachable and only accessible by a few. Thank you so very much to deciphering a foreign language that we all have appreciated from a limited vantage point. We knew certain songs were special but we didn't have the ability to understand what we liked about them. Kind of like serving fine wine or bourbon to someone "myself included" who doesn't have the ability to understand what makes it so great. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Rick.
    154
  911. If Rick's incorporation into his videos of the music being reviewed isn't "fair use", then I don't know what is. Love what you're doing, Rick - genius in your own right.
    153
  912. The beautiful thing you have brought to this audience is that whilst you deeply enjoy and have a history with prog, rock, grunge and pop music that you lived through, you introduce like minded people to what came before. There is a long history of incredible music from composers like Beethoven.. I for one might have skipped over it, but for your channel. Now I'm listening to it. Thank you.
    152
  913. Seriously Rick, how do you come up with these ideas? This was just an incredible video....I really enjoyed it!
    152
  914. It’s been an honor going through this journey with you for the past 6 years! As a 27 year old audio engineer, does this mean I can have your compressor? :)
    151
  915. Tears in my eyes at 8.27... Kurt was an incredible melody composer. The fact he probably didn't know what he was doing elevates his natural genius. Grazie Rick!
    151
  916. Me: I don't really have time to watch the whole thing <watches whole thing>
    150
  917. Best episode ever. The joy y’all had is super contagious and it absolutely made my day. I will get back to this whenever I need to feel good about life. This screams follow-up. There is a ton of crazy guitar lessons in this. So how about it?
    150
  918. Rick, you are so amazing. This video is just so mind blowing. I saw Keith perform several times through the years, heard about his stroke and him saying he'd never play again. Which, to me, sounded like death. But you brought him alive. It is so thrilling, I have to tell you. His right hand performance is transcending. Thank you, Rick. Thank you.
    150
  919. Rick makes a straight up jazz video. So glad to see this man. When he goes from brushes to sticks on “All Blues”, man, that alway gives me a chill. My favorite moment on that amazing record. The feel I chased with my own jazz quintet, “milesahead”. Thanks man
    149
  920. This is now my favourite video of yours Rick! When you can't stop conducting along with the music, playing your "air lute", and looking like a kid in a candy shop, it's infectious :)
    148
  921. CHOPIN: I'm going to write a piece that's impossible to play. ARGERICH: Hold my beer.
    148
  922. You are not crazy. I have been teaching for over 30 years and I have noticed that folks, especially kids, can no longer understand or learn how to read notes and can't hear when its wrong or out of tune. Blows my mind! 😊
    147
  923. I just want to say the way you show respect to the music you break down and to the players who play the music is so respectful and the world needs more people like you. I’m a huge fan of your videos
    147
  924. I thought nothing could top Rick's Peter Frampton and Pat Metheny interviews, but the Scofield interview ranks up there in the pantheon of music history gems. If Miles instructed Sco to "play with space", the key to Rick's interview chops is giving his subjects the space to tell the story. Outstanding job Rick! I tip my hat to you.
    146
  925. I don't listen to Keith or country, but when Rick does an interview you watch it and love it anyway!
    146
  926. I just want to thank you. You’ve got me to the point where you can just tell me the progression and the key. I can figure out the rest from there. Took me months, almost a year, of watching your channel and playing (you don’t read it) the Beato Book, but I got there. I’m working on getting to the point where I can figure out the progressions on my own well enough that my assumptions are only occasionally are corrected by other musicians that know I’m playing it wrong. I’m a busy guy with not a ton of time to practice so I’m happy with where I’m at with my musicianship. The prior 20 years felt like a plateau that was never going to end. Now I’m climbing again. All these concepts seemed alien to me then. Now I think I’m starting to get it.
    145
  927. Rick, you hit it out of the park with this one. My wife and I were, literally, crying during parts of it. It's a beautiful, rich song and it's so easy to miss some of that richness when only listening casually. The Seal - Trevor Horn dynamic was truly a match made in heaven and it shows up in all of Seal's work but especially in this song. Your technical genius combined with your child like enthusiasm and innocence, the sign of a true master, is a gift and pure pleasure to watch. Carry on!

  928. Rick, you should give lessons on interviewing. One of my hates is interviewers who want to be bigger then the interviewee. Constantly interrupting, talking over and making their own points, pushing the interviewee in directions they didn't want to go. Super job. And Lee.... Thanks for being so spontaneous. Loving following your channel and anecdotes (sneaked in a Scrabble word for you). Don't stop.
    145
  929. So-called world leaders meet at the G7 Summit. For those who are really in the know, we meet at the E7#9 Summit. 🤗 Great video Rick. You nailed that first note of “Hey Joe”.
    145
  930. 😂 that’s good. And probably coming soon.
    144
  931. This might be my favorite WMTSG. Rick's commentary is spot-on, his enthusiasm is turned up to 11, and the song itself is - no surprise - great. But what really made my day was my dog's reaction. He's a 16 year-old kinda hard of hearing ShihTzu. Normally, he'll sleep in front of the TV when my wife and I are watching. When this episode was playing, he sat up and watched practically all of it, occasionally turning to look at us on the couch. I know I'm projecting here, but ... it's like he was saying "mom, dad - who's making that beautiful sound and more importantly, who is that happy man playing the piano and air drums?" So, Rick educated us and got the dog involved, too. Good work, Rick!
    144
  932. Nice guy, great interview <s
    144
  933. Rick jamming to Lamb of God might be one of the best thing ive seen this year
    144
  934. Dear Rick: This video is a lovely lovely tribute to your friend and his family will be very thankfull for your words. Another thing i´d like to tell you is that , as humble as you are, you don´t have the slighest idea of what an impact your work has on us, your suscribers. Being a simple music teacher in Argentina, I encourage my students to use your channel as a source of inspiration and knowledge. Sorry for your loss. Big hug
    144
  935. I love the vibe of Rick fanboying over Adam and Swervedriver, yet Adam being basically unaware that he's on the most lauded, respected, and popular music channel on youtube. It's fantastic and I can't thank you enough for putting one of the legends of rock music up on here.
    143
  936. Well, this is slightly terrifying. Rick Beato opened his mouth, and the internet listened. That's some serious internet-power, Rick! Use it wisely, and don't destroy us with your new Personal Army! ;)
    143
  937. This is the greatest conversation about musical elements and style that I've ever heard. At age 71 I can only wish that I could have been influenced by all the elements of this conversation when younger. I am a musician and continue to play gigs and work on concepts when I get up every morning. This conversation is a gift in that you have two people totally in tune with everything brought up in "casual conversation". Also- I learned way more about Brad that I never knew- and how he has intellectualized all of his influences and current improvisational tendencies. This is a five star musical conversation on anyone's level. Rick- your contribution to the world of music is immeasurable. I'm truly in awe of the depths of this conversation. I can't thank either of you enough for the inspiration you both have given me today. I will undoubtedly come back to this interview several times. Thank you- both! 👍👍👍👍👍
    143
  938. I normally don't like when other artists try to "re-interpret" classic solos because it just comes across as the artist doing his own thing in the middle of a classic song. However, I've got to say that you guys killed it here, just like you did on the Stairway video! Every solo was excellent and really did meld Angus' style with each guitarist's soul. Incredibly hard to do, but you pulled it off flawlessly! Great job!
    143
  939. People not listening to the end of a record... it's sad, almost a tragedy. Some of the best songs in my collection are those very last songs.
    142
  940. The other thing is I am almost 70 years old teaching students one at a time songs and music from all our pasts and you are bringing it to millions! You do more for an artist in one video then I could do in my whole life of teaching
    142
  941. 58:12... Sting: “nice conversation”, I can’t possible think on a better compliment from this monster musician, Rick should be walking on the moon ...
    142
  942. What is happening with this channel is absolutely remarkable. Rick Beato is fast becoming the world's leading authority on rock music theory.
    141
  943. Hey Rick, as a professional music producer myself I must say this stuff is absolutely pure gold. Super interesting and informative, thanks for being a great YouTube ambassador in music and production 💪🏻
    141
  944. Me: I want to be like Rick when I retire. Kids: I want to be like Rick when I grow up Trees: I want to be crafted into a fine Gibson guitar played by Rick when I am cut down.
    141
  945. This is what YouTube was made for; All quality skilled individuals passing on priceless information. A genuine professional love of music. Excellent Interview Rick 😎
    140
  946. This is no interview--it's a concert. Yes, My favorite Beatles tunes are Walrus, Strawberry and Wood--and like you Rick, I can listen to Al's music for days on end. Thank you for this.
    140
  947. That's like the perfect interview right there; the musician (Tosin is certainly a very interesting individual), the interviewer (Rick, who is also a musician and a man who has taken the YouTube thing to the next level in so many different ways), the themes discussed, the whole setting visually and sonically, everything. I mean, one of those videos you can't praise enough!
    140
  948. "3/4 of the film is them goofing around." - Rick Beato. I have to admit, I had to exert a lot of patience watching all three episodes. I never realized how unserious these guys were in the studio with so much serious works that came out. But when they went to the microphones on the rooftop, I saw EXACTLY why they ARE the Beatles. Those guys are performers like almost no one else. I never knew 3 of the tracks from the album were rooftop recordings. It was THAT good live.
    140
  949. My husband passed away unexpectedly just a few days after Peter. Your Seattle show was the last “concert” we went to together. I’m glad you could have that friendship with Peter. You really do brighten the lives of so many people.
    140
  950. Rick Beato single hand documenting all these great artists, linking the old great ones to the new generation is so precious! Much appreciation from Brazil!
    139
  951. Have never seen Robben more open and engaged in an interview. Extremely enjoyable video. Kudos to you Rick.
    139
  952. OMFG AMAZING!! Darren absolutely KILLING IT on drums!🤘
    139
  953. This isn't just a music appreciation channel. It's a Rick appreciation channel! Most of the time, I'm tuning in just because I like listening to your stories, your wisdom, and your opinions. You're just a super, super likeable guy, and your positivity and intelligence make every video a safe click.
    139
  954. What a cool guy Seal is! And he’s right about you, Rick. Thank you so much for the passion you put into these videos. I have been playing music since I was 6, and now at 49, I have had my passion for music rejuvenated, largely due to your channel. Keep it up!
    138
  955. “I fill in the notes when it (sheet music) gets boring”. ~ Penny
    138
  956. Jesus Rick you could have walked into any rock / heavy metal band on this planet. Your understanding of music across all genres is uncanny.
    138
  957. Careful letting him talk... you might get claimed because his voice has been copyrighted on several records...
    138
  958. Mad respect for continuing content like this despite the copyright mess
    138
  959. "Beato against Autotune" - that's a movement I could sign up for! Rick, you could start rating new song's by their "Autotune Index" from now on; Zero for no Autotune and 10 for full vocal immersion. Could turn out to be a badge of shame. Enough is enough now.
    137
  960. Legend. The man traversed the history of jazz. How great that he endured this long. Jimmy was playing Blue Note and Smalls up til quite recently. Kind of Blue is the perfect album in many ways. It's timeless and impossible to grow weary of. Sketches is so moody. Full House is a great album. The title track is awesome, but I really love S.O.S. Jimmy's uptempo ride is sweet--I like how he always was in that space btw'n the triplet and the quarter note. Very sensitive player, but also really called out the quarter note. Thanks for giving the drummer some, Rick! Jimmy is important.
    137
  961. And this is one of many reasons I love this channel. Who else but Rick can interview Animals as Leaders, Pat Metheny and Thomas Newman and others and discuss the music theory and methodology all while asking good questions and letting the musicians answer completely. Love it Rick! I want to rewatch 1917 for that scene alone. Great interview.
    136
  962. Only Rick Beato could play the correct notes while playing "air guitar" along with the song. Then nails the fretted solo along with the recording playing.
    135
  963. The realization that most of the comments sent in are really reflective of the sender is very “Zen”. Over the years you’ve probably received more accolades than negativity. I need for you to know that I am eternally grateful for everything I’ve learned from you. I’ve been playing guitar since I was 10 and will be 70 this year. I have learned more in the last 6 years (since I started watching you) than all the other years combined. Mahalo and please don’t retire anytime soon.
    135
  964. One would think Rick and Tim would come across as jaded and bitter BUT their enthusiasm comes shining through the screen. This is a perfect example of age being just a number. These guys sound like clued up twenty-somethings. I LOVE listening to Rick and whomever he brings on, a special mention for Tim Pierce. He's an exceptional person to listen to, both musically and verbally. He's superb!
    135
  965. THIS is why I follow Rick Beato.
    135
  966. I'm black, grew up in a black neighborhood, and I remember my older brother's friends playing this song. They were mostly into R & B, Rap, and Hip-hop. That is how big the song was at the time.
    135
  967. She lives on in all the people she's touched including me now.
    135
  968. I saw the Sting interview a couple days before I got to this one, and that one was pretty interesting, but this was next level. I think I might go so far to say this is the best jazz talk/interview I've ever listened to, and I've listened to a LOT of them.
    134
  969. Another great one. Before I make this all about me, I want to say thank you to Rick and Tim for your candidness, expertise and great spirits. I so relate to this. I’m a couple years older than both of you. I wouldn’t change the period I grew up in for anything. It was so different and wonderful in so many ways. I feel sorry for anyone trying to do music professionally these days. It’s beyond hard. I’m retired now, but I was always able to make a living. Being a drummer, I have always been middle-class at best. Had a fairly popular band in upstate New York, who got signed to a major label. Brutal story, but I paid my bills. Moved to LA. My first pro LA session was with Tim Pierce at a studio called Master Control in Burbank. I’m very proud of that. I’m sorry it never happened again. I went on tours, recorded jingles, records, wrote instructional books, produced, mixed etc. etc. which altogether enabled me to buy a house. I didn’t think that was a big deal at the time but, turns out it was. None of these things, with the exception of touring are viable ways to make money anymore. Even then, as a drummer… well, let’s just say unless you’re on the road (a lot) making decent money consistently your lifestyle won’t be great. Not sure what the answer is. The world needs the middle-class. It’s the middle-class that drives the economy in every industry and the country as a whole. OK, the old guy’s gonna sign off now. Thank you Rick and Tim. Love what you do.
    134
  970. I have accepted the fact that Rick’s channel will continue to ascend until it is of another universe and is no longer accessible to mortals like me. You’re awesome Rick what an amazing video
    134
  971. One of the greatest guitar players, riff masters and music makers of a generation. One of the best music interviews for us all to understand the nuts and bolts. Keep up the great work Rick and Jerry!
    134
  972. Haha you are too diplomatic Rick. They’ve ripped it off thinking no one of their generation will know (or care). I find it perplexing that you can’t reproduce a small portion of another artist’s song on YouTube without being blocked, yet Bieber rips off a whole tune and it hits top 10....
    134
  973. This brought tears ... so gorgeously evocative and powerful. First Owen Beverly and now Alan Mearns, I feel the deep sense of conviction and respect that you have for musical artistry and sonic beauty. Please continue sharing your library of lesser-known genius, Rick. Thank you so much!
    133
  974. Seriously, I got lost in the solo. It was hypnotic. I watched that solo a half dozen times. Lots of guitarists have technical proficiency, but few are able to communicate the emotional content of the music the way you just did - MORE PLEASE!!
    133
  975. To be fair Jimmy Page, in my opinion, was the greatest song arranger of the rock era.
    133
  976. I saw Peter in late 2019 in Palm Beach, FL. Front row. What I loved was how he told the story of every song he played. The sound quality was as if you were in a studio with him. Then COVID hit in Feb, 2020. I hope he has one tour left in him with his illness.
    133
  977. Rick, I don't think I've ever listened to - or read - an interview with a musician that I admire that has had the impact on me that this interview has. Your depth of knowledge and interview style perfectly complement Metheny's thinking and how he articulates his perspectives and experiences. Your ability to call out specific tunes and records gave such depth to the discussion - and it was just fun to watch and listen. I'm a bassist - and one of the first deep "woodshed" things I did was learn a couple of Mark Egan's solos off of the "white" album. At 62, I can't remember things from a month ago sometimes - but I can still remember those solos!  Congrats on a simply marvelous job.
    133
  978. The stories about the people and experiences that the great teachers tell are what makes the music relevant and meaningful. Well done, Rick!
    133
  979. I hope these interviews will be conserved in the Smithsonian museum as national treasures. Historic conversations. I feel so privileged to be able to witness these.
    133
  980. So cool to see a grown man willing to express childlike awe about something he loves so dearly. Good on you Rick. Thank you.
    133
  981. 1. Mr. Slate is harboring a terrible, poisonous thing : grievance. I wish him the courage to learn from his ghastly writing. 2. Great recap of Bach. Beato’s argument is overwhelming, and honors all the musicians’ strengths. Well done.
    133
  982. Great video! Super fascinating… also it’s never something I even thought about — how there aren’t any “left handed” violinists (playing-wise!).
    133
  983. I never comment on YouTube videos, but on the off chance Rick reads this - these last coupe of weeks you have done a couple of videos explaining the inner working of the music business, how contracts work, how fees work, how its good and bad, and that is all totally fascinating. I would love to have more interviews with session players and explanations of how the industry worked in the past and how it works now. Really interesting to a total outsider who just enjoys the finished product. Thank you.
    132
  984. Loved this subject - it's like golf - the 300+ yard drive gets the hoots from the crowd but never the second shot which take the real finesse.
    132
  985. I wish you had talked a little more about that explosive single note opening to the middle eastern solo, probably the most dramatic moment in the history of guitar, musically speaking. it comes out of nowhere, punches you in the soul, and doesn't go where you expect. really an astonishing achievement. gets me every time.
    132
  986. You're my Martin Scorsese!
    132
  987. I mentioned previously that Rick Beato is more than a YouTuber. He is an accomplished Musician and Professor of Music and his WMTSG video series educates its audience and should therefore not be demonitized. If I were an Artist and Rick Beato decided to feature my or groups song in the WMTSG series, heck, it would be an honour...Just saying it like it is...🎸🎼🎵🎶👍
    131
  988. You knocked this one way out of the park Rick. Never ever would I have imagined to experience so much insight from these fine individuals in this single sit down session. Absolutely smashing! Cheers to you Rick.
    131
  989. There's a reason why Rick has 2.18 Million subscribers. This series is genuinely good. A lot of super advanced terms but not so much that non musical folks, like me, will get lost.
    131
  990. Rick...it's so crazy / awesome hearing your stories of the past. Rich and I worked together at Dark Horse ( I was the GM ) for years and it's so great hearing all the names from the Atlanta music scene back then. Love your channel and I'm sure our paths crossed at some point.
    131
  991. Rick, this is for me personally, the best interview ever. Why ? Because I have been doing FOH live sound in small venues for over 20 years. So awesome to listen to the GOAT talk about all of the challenges we face, from room size, to decor, to everything else, and doing our best to make the band sound incredible for the audience. I shouted out "YES !!" when he said he uses analog stuff. THANK YOU !!!!
    131
  992. That moment you realize that Rick's dad was born over 100 years ago.
    131
  993. and as a bonus, we heard of how you met Nancy, which was mentioned, but not expanded upon in the "20 greatest acoustic intros" video
    130
  994. All 3 solos are absolutely fantastic. Eric’s tone is from another world! My favorite solo is Rick’s! You did such a good job at capturing Frampton’s vibe. And he is my favorite ❤️
    130
  995. No better tribute to Dick Cavett than this right here! I really hope that he sees this! GREAT video Rick!
    130
  996. Something is happening. I got my first today too. I'm a tech channel that happened to talk about COVID using a Senate hearing video.
    130
  997. Am l the only one who would love to see 2112 on this list?l know is a long ass song and that the video would be very long aswell but l would watch the entire thing
    130
  998. Usually when I see an artist that I've admired for decades I begin to feel old because they're so damn old! The opposite occurred here. Christopher looks so damn young I don't feel quite as old! Thank you Christopher for your contribution to the world with your artistic abilities and thank you for making me feel young if but for a day!
    130
  999. If you were to ask me to guess which artist opened for Led Zeppelin 12 times and was the only person to ever sub for Ritchie Blackmore, I never would have guessed "Christopher Cross!!!" Wow! Great stories and great interview!!! I'm so happy you were able to interview him! ❤
    130
  1000. Rick in a baseball cap. Is there nothing he can't pull off?
    129
  1001. Rick Ive been mixing producing records for over 30 years! Everytime,i get my alert from you makes me feel like i am living my youth and relearning the love of music not the industry-but the love of music 🎶 thank you for your influence to the new generation.I hope to meet ya in LA one day stay blessed JMH
    129
  1002. As a professional both bouzouki and guitar player myself,it was a great pleasure to watch this video💯💯💯.This is definitely my favourite channel on YouTube but now i love it a little bit more if that is possible.Greetings and much respect from Greece
    128
  1003. This is a mindblowing interview, full of key historical information,,
    128
  1004. We’re not immune to it either, Rick, keep fighting the good fight! 🙏🤘👍
    128
  1005. I think Beethoven knew he was an extraordinary Composer, with unique insights into music, and he was determined to not let the wonders he created and heard in his mind go unheard by the rest of the World.
    127
  1006. Rick and Lyle Mays hitchhiked together for a ride… Mic dropped! 🤦‍♂️
    127
  1007. Rick, your reputation and reach are obviously snowballing. This is due to your knowledge and your efforts here on YT. You are landing interviews that just keep bringing the hits. It's great to see. And, obviously, it's great to get all these wonderful insights straight from the artists!
    126
  1008. What we should do is every time we listen to a song on youtube that we learned about or even remembered because we are watching this channel is just write it down, leave a comment, Rick brought me here. So maybe, one day, these idiots realize that channels like this one do not hurt their bottom line. It's not enough for me that these videos are not blocked, he should be able to monetize his content. It's not fair. It's a service to music, what he is doing.
    126
  1009. Being a father of a Deaf and a hard of hearing sons, this hit close to home. I feel that Beethoven is what I tell him sons… Never let your disability turn into a handicap. 🤟🏼
    126
  1010. Rick, I know this music isn't popular with 'most' of your listeners (and neither with me), but you have opened my eyes (ears?) to the art of the sound and production that goes into making a song. Don't make a habit of it, but keep doing these vids intermittently! ;) It's a learning process for us get to appreciate this side of music! Keep it up!!
    126
  1011. Your guitar teacher didn’t teach this because he was not Rick Beato. He had no idea.
    126
  1012. RIck is SOOO good at THIS. So good at trying to preserve ART in music and musicians for the sake of ART and music. The world needs many things, that's not really up for debate, and one of the paths to betterment for us all is passion in ART IMHO. So, for his role in that - we're all very lucky. At least, I feel I am. Thanks Rick et al.
    126
  1013. They're not breaking any new ground harmonically." Such a nice way of saying that song was derivative and sounded like a million other songs.
    125
  1014. Hands down the best Billy Corgan interview I've ever heard. Thank You for delivering Rick!
    125
  1015. I don't play the guitar. I watch Rick periodically. Was brought in the by the video title on this one, thought I'd keep this in the background while I worked. And like so many others have said, this was mesmerizing. Rick, you're an incredible interviewer. Tim, you're a gem of knowledge. Together you're most definitely a masterclass, history lesson, and even inspiring for the future. Thanks Rick / Tim!
    124
  1016. The quality of an interviewer is sometimes easy to measure when the subject being interviewed is opening up, becoming relaxed and being impressed these are not standard questions. You see it as this one evolves in time, Sting simply is happy to be there and so are we hahahaha bravo Rick! This is the reason I follow your channel!!!!!
    124
  1017. You're right Rick. Education is our only way out of this mess...
    124
  1018. Rick you are honestly the teacher I could never afford... and I mean that with the most respect and appreciation as I could ever muster. Please keep these coming!!
    123
  1019. my dog died just the other day so I got in my truck and I drove away went to the bar and got liquored up cause now my best friend is a pickup truck
    123
  1020. I’m a special education teacher for an intensive autism class. I’ve heard stories very much like yours from a lot of parents and students, and they get me every time. Your story is an inspiration, Rick. You do more good than you realize by sharing it.
    123
  1021. I have a suggestion... all of Mr Beato's interviews should be compulsory content at all institutions that exist to 'teach' music. What happens when Mr Beato interviews is - he demonstrates and elevates the connection between technique and emotion. He allows musicians and songwriters to share not only what's in their heads, but also - what's in their hearts. I truly LOVE the way Rick brings the stuff that's hidden into the open - and every time I tune in I'm reminded why Music is the central pulse of my life. You are doing a very, very good thing Mr B. Keep on keeping on.
    123
  1022. Having a guitar in front of him and still plays air-guitar :D Only Rick can do that and still be adorable and funny because he has a true passion for the music.
    122
  1023. Rick, I’ve never really been a fan of Metallica, but after your brilliant interview with the surprisingly articulate Kirk Hammett, it makes me want to really check out their music, especially their earlier albums, in earnest. Thank you, Rick, for being such an inspiration with your always insightful shows on YouTube where your undeniable passion and love for music always comes through! Keep up the great work!
    122
  1024. I lost my 29 years old son in a motorcycle accident about 18 months ago. It was the hardest thing I have ever experienced. There are no words to explain the grief that my wife and I experienced, and still do to this day. He left behind two small children, who have become so much more than just grandchildren to us now. They are our connection to him that we treasure.... About 8 months ago I was watching You Tube videos feeling pretty down. They were music related videos, songs, guitar videos, concert footage. That was when I decided to learn to play guitar. I have always had a deep love for music but never went further than being an enthusiastic listener. I realized that night that you only live once - make the most of it. Why not learn to play guitar? Noone knows how long you have on this earth, so make it count. Since then, I now have three guitars and I play every day. I'll never be good, I know that. At 53 years old just starting to learn I don't expect much, but I have learned a very important lesson in life, and that is treasure every moment. Rick, thank you for posting this video. It means a lot. Music is truly the voice of the soul.
    122
  1025. I’m loving this interview! It’s taking me a long while to get through because when Rick and/or Pat mentions a tune, by PM or someone else, I’m going back and listening for what is mentioned and just to enjoy that moment! We don’t often get such fantastic, detailed and lengthy interviews with such musical icons these days. Thank you Pat for your immeasurable contribution to our musical heritage, and thank you Rick for possibly the most stellar interview work thus far I’ve seen from you!
    122
  1026. This is how you conduct an interview. You ask a question and then let the person answer and elaborate without interrupting. Rick thank you for another AWESOME interview. You’re worth your weight in guitar picks… gold guitar picks 😉
    122
  1027. This video was longer than most Hollywood movies, and was 1000x more entertaining. Thank you for this! Gonna go back into my corner and feel ancient now 😁.
    122
  1028. If the guitarist doesn’t make money for Rolling Stone magazine, then they are immediately off the list.
    122
  1029. Nowhere in history has anybody ever provided the connection to our heroes that Rick Beato has. Rick’s gift to all of us is unprecedented. I think back to my days growing up, scrounging around for an interview clip of Hendrix, Beck, Clapton, Page… The interviewers asked all the obvious questions, but few things were ever discussed that my aspiring musical mind wanted to really know. What a gift this is. Can you even imagine the Beato Hendrix interview. It almost seems like a crime that we cannot have that. God Bless Rick Beato for his contribution to the musical community. We will all look back one day and realize that he played a major role in the futures of so many musicians. Just and epic contribution to the arts that I hope one day will be fully appreciated. Thank you, Rick!! PS Geddy & Alex please get in touch with Rick!
    121
  1030. I feel like I should get college credits for watching this video.
    120
  1031. As a general comment, in these troubled times I find much comfort into watching your videos. Thank you so much for documenting, teaching and sharing in such a passionate and intelligent manner music.
    120
  1032. Millions of song ideas out there. Just stop hiring that same Swedish guy and we'll be able to hear them.
    119
  1033. Anyone else musically illiterate, yet still watched this entire video and enjoyed to the end? :D
    119
  1034. I will be watching this again in 10, and 20 years. I won't be the only one. This is important work, capturing a meaningful conversation with a legendary songwriter, musician and vocalist. Congratulations Rick.
    119
  1035. one of your best interviews ever, Rick! truly entertaining, informative and inspirational, thank you Rick and Ted!
    119
  1036. This is one of those interviews that needs to be a part of any and all jazz music history program. The specificity of the information that Ron talks about is a part of jazz history. At some point this is one of those interviews that should be published read, seen and appreciated solely on its historical significance. Much appreciated.
    118
  1037. Long time listener, first time caller. I nearly fell off my chair when you mentioned “Planes Over the Skyline” which is my most treasured Swervedriver song. I’m utterly floored by your love for this band. Comes from total left field. Criminally underrated and yes the guitar playing is phenomenal. Thank you for shining a light on them. Treasured as they are. Never lose that feeling.
    118
  1038. Rick, you missed the chance to blame that producer for everything in your life that didn't go the way you hoped. You are clearly not in tune with the modern ethos. Good job.
    118
  1039. For those looking to follow up on the "new to you" suggestions from Rick: 1. Matteo Mancuso (Italian guitarist known for his fingerstyle technique and unique arrangements) 2. Mateus Asato (Brazilian guitarist, known for his melodic and emotive playing style) 3. Mohini Dey (Indian bass guitarist, known for her virtuosic playing and collaborations with renowned musicians) 4. Tosin Abasi (Nigerian-American guitarist, known for his progressive metal band Animals As Leaders and his extended-range guitar playing) 5.

    118
  1040. Rick Beato: the only man who can say "groove" when talking about classical music and get away with it.
    118
  1041. Love that you don't revert to "New music bad" and you have an open mind to us younger generation's music. I respect the hell out of you, dude.
    118
  1042. The best musicians in the world are perfectly aware of the fact that Rick Beato is the interview you want to do. You have become the industry standard Rick. You have transcended YouTube. You crossed the seven-year mark stronger than ever. Your content is bleeding over into mainstream media. You absolutely deserve everything that's coming your way.
    118
  1043. Rick, I had a feeling where this was going about half way through, and I was in tears by the end. My deepest condolences on the passing of your friend, even after all this time. I know how hard this can still be to think and talk about. It's the most sensitive among us that have the ability to see, hear, and feel what others cannot, but with that unique ability comes a heightened burden, where the pressures and weight of life can seem too much at times. Some of us have the strength and will to carry on, while others simply cannot. Life is both beautiful and tragic. Again my deepest sympathies and I thank you for sharing this touching story.
    118
  1044. These interviews will be a gold mine for musicologists in decades and centuries to come.
    118
  1045. It's amazing to me Rick's knowledge of music from classical to jazz to pop to rock, metal etc AND all the theory but he knows just as much about recording technology. This video and the one with Butch Vig blow me away. You learn so much.
    118
  1046. If Rick Beato calls you up and asks you if he can do a video about one of the songs you own the rights to, you should be thrilled and say, "Of Course!"
    118
  1047. As a verified purchaser I can attest that the Beato Ear Training Program is seriously awesome.
    117
  1048. Your channel is a must for all of us. Not just the musicians, but for all of us who revere respect, courtesy and just common decency. All of us who have hearts that are full of love and kindness.. It is clear , this is who you are. Thank you.
    117
  1049. I have always loved this song but the intro always felt a little uncomfortable to me until it slid into the smooth vibe of the song and I never knew why. Listening to you break it down solved that mystery for me. I really loved this segment today, Rick. Thank you.
    116
  1050. Uncle Larry got me through the pandemic. Tom is a musical treasure trove.
    116
  1051. Now I will download a bunch of swervedriver albums and start listening to them because Rick Beato introduced me to them. See how that works record company attorneys?
    116
  1052. What Rick is doing with these interviews is incredibly important to music. I am a very basic musician, but love these videos so much. Cataloging all of this history of the greats in music is amazing. I am so thankful for Rick. Inspires me to play more at 51. Sting, Carter, Matheny…love them all. Watched this all the way through.
    116
  1053. The strings were an ARP synthesizer. Pretty sure the main ostinato was a programmed sequence. Pete also gets overlooked as a pioneering electronic musician!
    115
  1054. I'm so impressed that these awesome musicians have mutual respect for Rick Beato. This means that we'll get to see more top-notch interviews in the future. I love the direction this channel is going and the success couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
    115
  1055. Rick brings academic rigor, experience, and perspective to what music means to society. But what really sets him apart is his genuine enthusiasm, like he's discovering something new and beautiful every day. Thank you for documenting the power of music in our history, Rick.
    114
  1056. My eyes scanned over the thumbnail to this video and I thought "Hang on. Is that Adam Franklin? " And it was. And then they go and play 'Girl On a Motorbike'. Big smile. That really is a special kind of satisfying.
    114
  1057. There is simply TOO much to comment on from this interview, instead I'll just say Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou Rick. I know band reunions are kind of passe these days, but I am SO glad I got to see The Police live in 2007, it was a very emotional moment. I seriously hope Andy Summers understands just how important & influential he has been for the last 45 years.
    114
  1058. The fascinating part is that this sounds great together. Producers like myself tend to work with isolatet samples, and even though the kick might sounds phatter, the entire beat does not nearly sounds as tight like when it is recorded like this. I really love these videos. Great source of knowledge that I will sure use the next time I get to record a proper drum set. Many thanks as always Rick
    114
  1059. I have run across many professional musicians who frequent this site from all genres, including Jazz and Classical. I was directed to your channel by a 70-year-old music professor at a major university because he respects your perspective, skills, and approach to these topics. I can't even play a note, but I still find your videos engaging and relevant.
    113
  1060. In the world of rhythm and song, Two men's love for music burns strong, Steve Gadd, with sticks in hand, Creates beats that we can't withstand. From rock to jazz, he's done it all, His drumming style is like a call, To dance, to move, to feel the sound, With Steve Gadd, joy can be found. And then there's Rick, with knowledge vast, His passion for music will forever last, Through theory and production, he reveals, The secrets that music can unveil. Together they share a love so true, For the magic that music can imbue, With each beat and chord, they convey, A love that won't fade away. So let us all listen and be inspired, By the passion these two have acquired, For the love of music, in every way, Steve Gadd and Rick Beato lead the way.
    113
  1061. how about a little recognition for rick’s comping w/baseline. rick’s mastery of so many guitar styles is just stunning, not to mention his piano chops as well. loved this video and all your videos!
    113
  1062. I don't know Megadeth so I didn't know Marty. But I've learned not to ask anymore who is this that Rick is talking to? I just hit go and listen. Lots of unexpected guitar jewels in this interview. Great to hear what's happening in Japan from someone who actually talks guitar and Japanese. Big respects to Marty's bilingualism and his distinctions between competence, expertise and artistry and his melodic canvasses. Thank you for this introduction Rick.
    112
  1063. I was already gasing for a new LP then I stumbled on this. My wallet is scared...
    112
  1064. Finally…and it was everting we knew it would be.
    112
  1065. Dear Rick, There is no proper way to thank you for doing these interviews. It's an absolute joy and privilege to hear Ron Carter speak, and you are an excellent host. These are important historical documents. You couldn't make me any happier.
    112
  1066. I thoroughly thoroughly thoroughly appreciate this video. Thank you Rick!
    112
  1067. Love your channel, your analysis, and the way you share knowledge with your audience. I’m a Brazilian guitarist and professor at two universities ( including UF years ago) and I know what I’m saying. You are amazing!
    111
  1068. Dear Rick, today I was trying to capture for my wife what I like so much about your instruction—-it is JOY. You joyfully share the experience of music. You are open to adventure and a champion of musicians older and younger. I recall your expressed fascination at school dropping in on the early music players as well as the Jazz folks. Respecting teachers, fellow thinkers, visions, and horizons is a hallmark of your approach. Lastly, you offer your breadth of knowledge with humility. Thank you for inspiring us:)
    111
  1069. To both Ricks, there aren’t the words to describe how good this interview is so I’ll just say a massive thank you to you both 🙏 Love how they played ‘Hurt’ all the way through. I heard parts on that song I’ve never heard before and I’ve listened to it hundreds of times.
    111
  1070. Rick, you are the interviewer everyone should emulate. You let your guests speak. You make them the focus of the interview instead of you. Simply great.
    111
  1071. Even though I’ve heard this song a million times, Rick’s deeper dive just brings this song to life!
    111
  1072. - So, what have you done that I may have heard of? - Well, I don't wanna gloat, but I once pissed off Rick Beato. So there. - Umm... Sure.
    111
  1073. At least he didn't copy Lukes tone !!
    111
  1074. YEEEEEEEES. I haven’t even watched this yet, but ever since you showed us the solo in the Johnny Diamond tribute video, I have been in love with this track. As always Rick, THANK YOU.
    110
  1075. This is such a casual, relaxed and hyper-informative interview, Rick. I noticed that my face was getting sore. It was because I was smiling for the whole interview. Well done and Christopher is an energetic treasure.
    109
  1076. I’m here after your interview with Jon Anderson to listen to this again. What a great job you have, Rick.
    109
  1077. Didn’t expect to spend half an hour grinning like a loon at just how amazing this song is. Even my six year old daughter was captivated and inspired. Great video Rick, and kudos to Seal for joining in. It’s lovely to see someone who ‘gets’ what you’re doing on this channel. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
    108
  1078. You are the best at explaining theory for all of us to understand!
    108
  1079. The last 20 seconds or so was the most I’ve ever wanted to weep with awe, inspiration, sadness and joy watching Rick’s videos.
    108
  1080. More than perfect pitch , perfect dad dedication ...
    108
  1081. For a non-music playing person this was a great explanation.
    108
  1082. I'm crying over a woman I never even heard of 20 minutes ago. But it sounds like she made the world a better place and I'm happy that you were able to deeply enjoy her love and music, Rick. What a beautiful soul. May Aunt Penny RIP.
    108
  1083. Adam franklin is one of the most underappreciated musicians in rock history. Swervedriver should be huge!!
    107
  1084. Old school musicians had the talent to be able to make records in this way, it was lovely listening to Brian May's recollections. Rick, great interview, great video.
    106
  1085. The legends you have been interviewing recently are unbelievable. You are insane and unstoppable Rick!
    106
  1086. This is why you are so successful in our eyes Rick. You’ve been through all the ropes, hell and back, and every major change the last couple decades. You do it for those you’ve met along the way. Thank you for sharing.
    106
  1087. I see a lot of comments from people who didn't see their favourites on Rick's list. Hey no problem folks, just spend countless hours mastering the guitar, the bass, the drums, and keyboards, and sound recording and mixing, and production, oh and video production, and then call up three of your friends who also happen to have incredible voices and then we can all hear your fucking version of The Rain Song. But let me save you the trouble because it would suck... Thank you Rick for your talent, your effort, your expertise, and the generosity of you and your talented friends for making another fantastic video.
    106
  1088. "Brendan O'Brien is undoubtedly the greatest rock producer of all time. He has managed to create perfect sounds on every record he's worked on, a true deity. In my childhood, I would see his name on every album whose sound I admired and would envy him. Now, with over 1000 credits in recording and mixing, I've learned many things just by listening to Brendan O'Brien's recordings, even though we've never met. Rick, you've conducted a perfect interview; I watched it breathlessly. Thank you for honoring such an important deity."
    106
  1089. I have been teaching band for 25 years and I have this conversation and subsequent lessons on intonation many times during the school year. I feel your pain. You have not lived until you are placed feet away from 15 middle school flutist 5 days a week.
    105
  1090. I found a vintage Gun Smoke arcade game on eBay for $3400. We should all get it for Rick for his birthday!
    104
  1091. I am so sad that Pat succumbed to his lasting illness of this past year. I’m incredibly fortunate to have had lessons from two amazing teachers. Dennis Sandole and then Pat Martino in the 90’s. Although I never followed up with my lessons with Pat, he took a liking to me and we shared many a wonderful sushi dinner at Sakura on 2nd near South Street in Philadephia. He was always joined by his charming Japanese wife . My dear friend Steve Beskarone played Bass for him back then which was quite surprise to me when I found out. Steve is an extraordinary bassist who can literally play any style with genuine feeling. Pat was humble above all else and charming and funny and overall one of best humans ever….. And then there was his playing and teaching. He slowed everything down for me in the the beginning matching my finger dexterity to my playing level. He never raised his voice and had the patience of a saint it seemed to me. I spoke with him about his miraculous recovery and his take on it was his hand muscles knew what to do before his brain did and by practicing it reconnected most of his damaged neurons by a kind of feedback. Made sense to me. I’m paraphrasing of course. What an absolute lovely and loving man. The worlds a little bit dimmer now that Pat has left the building. How lucky I am to have these memories and how sad I am to hear he is gone. But he struggled to hang on for a while and part of me is relieved knowing his pain and struggles are over. I’m praying for the joyful and peaceful repose of Pat’s soul. 🙏 May those who were close to him find grace and strength during this difficult time. Davide (Martella) Simpson
    104
  1092. The knowledge and music sense Rick has is incredible. He deserves all the notoriety that comes with it.
    104
  1093. This is amazing Rick, this whole channel needs to go to the Library of Congress, these interviews are PRICELESS. Rick Beato YOU are a national treasure.
    104
  1094. You’re successful because you’re authentic, skilled, caring of others, have the desire and capability to educate without being pedantic, and seem to be a genuinely good person of solid character. You also have that rare sense of self-deprecating humor that draws people in. Hell I don’t know a thing about musical technique but I love all music. From the time I first saw one of your videos I was hooked. Keep on truckin dude!
    104
  1095. Rick I swear I'd listen you talk about music for hours and hours. You always show an unbelievable amount of passion, love and gratitude for this supreme art, yet in this song analyisis I think you've felt these emotions even more intensely than ever, and this is almost tear inducing for a die hard fan of Nirvana and of good music in general. I hope you'll never stop doing videos!
    103
  1096. Great video Rick! Your arpeggio ideas are always so smooth and tasty.
    103
  1097. I keep thinking these interviews can't get any better than the last one. The common thread seems to be that not only are all of the subjects brilliant and talented, they all also seem to be just super people. Kind, generous and truly respectful of what Rick brings to all of us that are infatuated with the creating of great art. I can't think of anything else I would rather do than sit and watch Rick's interviews - then go and check out the details in the recordings just discussed!
    102
  1098. I love seeing these, Rick. I am 83 yrs old and I played road gigs and did studio work since the sixties, So This felt like old homes week
    102
  1099. “True progress is humans flourishing” The joy of being able to hear two friends in conversation is indescribable! Thank you, both🙂
    102
  1100. Wow… beautiful!! Thank you for this video!!
    102
  1101. Rick just sounds like the nicest guy. Not in a bland, inoffensive way, but in all the ways that matter. Authentic, generous, optimistic, curious, and happy to take us all along for the ride with him. Its a fascinating and engaging ride, Rick, and you're a really great role model for anyone looking to find personal success and meaning in pursuing whatever it is they love to do. May every moment of your remaining time on YouTube be as satisfying and entertaining for you as it is for those who watch your content. You're absolutely crushing it, dude. 🤘🏻
    102
  1102. I see Mike Mills & Rick Beato. I click.
    102
  1103. Rick, I'm constantly amazed at how comfortable you make your guests and how open they are because of it. Easily the best interviewer of all of these legendary musicians in the business. These should be required viewing for a course in Jazz, Blues, and Rock History and they'll be even more important when all these legends are gone. Thank you.
    101
  1104. I totally hope Gilmore reaches out to you, Rick. The Wall was an important album for me too.
    101
  1105. the planet and the inhabitants need this. some of the most rhythmic, melodic, and improvisational music ever recorded. this art form must be preserved. you may be uniquely qualified to teach this, since you can play all the instruments - aside from horns, I think. not just your intimate knowledge of the tunes, but you seem to adore it and have, and convey, fun with it. jazz can be hard to understand because the players are so good and play at such ridiculous tempos, the uneducated listener needs help, like this, to get it. I love this presentation, and look forward to many more. thanks for your madness of dedication. astounding. Ü ♫
    101
  1106. So...after watching that incredible Sting interview, amongst others, we get this brilliant interview. Can we all just acknowledge how skilled Rick is at interviewing amazing musicians. That is yet another difficult skill to master that Rick seems to have added to his alreasy impressive array of talents. Well done Mr Beato. And amazing playing, as ever, Mateus.
    101
  1107. Rick, Thank you for posting; as another 62 year old, I'm encouraged by your success! I'll be praying for your continued recovery. God Bless you for your exercise of talent!
    101
  1108. You're special, Rick!
    101
  1109. There is a word for people like her: GENIUS, in it's true sense.
    100
  1110. OMG, I played this album 15 times over the last 5 days, this is Billionaire bringing U2, Nirvana, Foo Fighters, the whole enchilada /work’s together, I have no idea, this didn't went into the charts, hopefully it doe now, because you all deserve it, keep on going please, never give up !!!
    100
  1111. I feel like if everyone could have an "Aunt Penny" it might just fix everything that ails our world. So sorry for your tremendous loss, Rick. I believe with all my heart and soul that you will have a blissful reunion, one day.
    100
  1112. I feel you. I feel your pain. I deal with it too. I'm surprised I haven't gotten a strike either yet.. But at no given point were you wrong about this. I wish it was easier to not just avoid strikes but to also allow people to have a proper way to fight these accordingly and fairly. I understand companies are made to make money but sometimes promotion from videos like yours can help these companies a ton.. It's time for change.
    100
  1113. Rick, sorry to hear about your loss. But I must add, that "Cardinal Motion" is one hell of a song. And your guitar is ranked right up there with the best there ever has been in my opinion. Frampton and the others have got nothing on you! Thanks for sharing your story. And thanks for all you do. Keep it goin' man!
    99
  1114. Rick forgot to say at the end: "Don't forget to ring the cow bell" Blue Öyster Club got a really unique way of composing and plaing rock songs.
    99
  1115. I’m giving this a like this before I watch because Rick never disappoints! 🤩 I’m gonna take my smoke break now so I can watch! Work can wait!
    99
  1116. I love Thomas' enthusiasm to talk about his craft - seems like they could have kept going for hours (and I would have watched). I work in television production and spent time as an editor... really cool to hear his perspective and learn about his approach. What a great interview!
    99
  1117. Dear Mr. Beato The fact that you do a video about a classical musician convinces me even more that you truly are an expert regarding music of almost any kind. I very much appreciate your open mind. Thank you so much for your honest devotion to music in general.
    98
  1118. I have literally never commented on a YouTube video until today (though I have subscribed). Great interview, as always. What I really want to say is that Rick, you have inspired me through your videos beyond measure to become a better musician every day. I only wish I had access to this content as a young kid just learning guitar. I can’t imagine—and you may not even realize—the impact you must be having on the next generation. Keep up the good work, and I hope to see and meet you at NAMM!
    98
  1119. You know you're a YouTube self-improvement geek when you don't have a musical bone in your body, but watch every Beato video all the way through, including this one!
    98
  1120. Rick, this is my new favorite video of yours. Just because it’s just raw, with no planning it seems. And just full love for the music. Thank you for existing buddy.
    98
  1121. I absolutely love watching Rick teach these classic songs. His passion and enthusiasm are contagious!
    98
  1122. What do you get when you combine a musical legend who is a consummate gentleman and storyteller with a well-informed, super-prepared and respectful interviewer with the perfect amount of knowledge and conversational grace? These two gentlemen. I was spellbound by this masterful interview. Thank you both! Rick, you are doing the world such an immense service!
    98
  1123. Although I’ve seen almost all these videos, when you put them together like this it becomes obvious how incredibly important and game changing this channel is. Rick has done something absolutely unique. He’s created a fantastic resource for any type of musician that is simultaneously both entertaining and informative. It’s like having access to both a conservatory education and top tier guest artists at the click of a button. Add in the ear training courses and the Beato Book and the value you get for this is beyond belief. This is not only the best music channel on YouTube it’s the best musicians resource for the money, anywhere. Bravo Rick.
    97
  1124. I've been wondering how familiar you are with Joni's work and if you were ever going to discuss one of her songs in this series... And there you are covering one of my absolute favourites and it turns out you are as passionate about her music as I am. Wonderful to see someone share that enthusiasm. It was a delight watching this video. Here's to crying to Joni's music!
    97
  1125. Twenty minutes ago I had never heard of Aunt Penny. Now I'm grieving the loss of someone I just fell in love with. Thank you for sharing her with us. You've done her the greatest honor you possibly could have by shining her light into the world even as she leaves it. We don't get that many Aunt Pennys in a lifetime, you were truly blessed. So sorry for your loss.
    97
  1126. Rick, you've done it again. I have seen this interview many times, and I still enjoy seeing it again. Your presentation of it and explanation of how to do an interview is also well done. I remember the Sting interview, and I gained appreciation more for Sting like I did for Oscar Peterson in Cavetts interview. Thank you for bringing this. You started my day. I wish you well this year 😊😊😊😊😊
    97
  1127. Most of us waited 40 years to hear the right words prizing this masterpiece. Thank you Rick. Respect!
    96
  1128. You know Rick, undoubtedly, everyone you interview has 1 thing in common. They unequivocally, wholeheartedly, love everything about music and what it has done for them. JUST LIKE YOU! Love it Rick👍
    96
  1129. This video should be required viewing for anyone who is even remotely interested in music and culture these days. Absolutly brilliant! Thank you Rick for having these important conversations!
    96
  1130. i can only say that this Youtube Channel is a mark for humanity's history, and I'm sure lots of content from here will stay for eternity. Thank you Rick, and Keith, our heart is yours
    96
  1131. Rick,I always loved your music content but I really need to say this. As a professional cameraman 🎥…these last interviews… wow! The light design, the framing, placement of the background objects, depth of field, the pace of the cuts… very very good job man! Congratulations to your team! Keep on with the excellent work !
    96
  1132. Great video Rick!! This normally, most people only understand knowledge part with the words without recognizing those real sound!!
    96
  1133. My respect for you just shot up 100% because you know and respect Martha Argerich. She was 'the' pianist of the 2nd half of 20th century and an absolute legend. They do not make 'em like that anymore.
    96
  1134. Who are the 235 lost souls giving this story a thumbs down??!! You may not love the story Rick has told, but what on earth is so objectionable that you go to the trouble of publically registering your dislike?
    96
  1135. As a speech pathologist who has worked for years with children with different types of learning disabilities and delays, this brought tears to my eyes. You are so right that children can learn if we educators just find the right way to teach them.
    96
  1136. This is not an interview. It's tapping into a stream of musical consciousness and the source which every musician searches for in honoring all on whose shoulders they stand.
    96
  1137. This world would be a much better place if everyone had someone like Aunt Penny in their lives ❤️ thank you for sharing this
    96
  1138. I'm old friends with the male lead vocalist on this, Joe Pizzulo. Great singer, great guy, at one time the top male singer in LA, makes sense that he could stay focused through so many changes. Hard song.
    95
  1139. Most complex pop song that no one's ever heard of and none other than Mike Landau plays on it.... Sounds about right. It was either gonna be him or Luke, as soon as I saw the title. More videos like this, hilarious story while deceptively teaching theory, the song itself, and basically jazz changes for the pop/rock guys that find jazz too intimidating. Bravo, Rick.
    95
  1140. This is why you have 2M subscribers Mr Beato.
    95
  1141. Rick my faith in our politicians has gone downhill steadily over the last 7 years but the fact that you were contacted and asked to appear is noteworthy. The fact that they thought enough of your expertise gives me a glimmer of hope in our representatives in Washington. We need more people like yourself and the people who invited you. I am a retired systems engineer and for years worked with computer systems ani I for one have concerns with AI. Thank you for your effort in this and for appearing in DC!
    95
  1142. I rarely comment in any videos. But I have to say I've been watching Rick's for awhile now, and he is by definitely by farthe most interesting and the best interviewer of other musicians I've ever saw. Always looking forward to them. Great job Rick
    95
  1143. I imagine him being the guy at the party people are thinking,,,"yeah I bet he used to be cool..." and then you talk to him and it turns out hes way cooler than you.. :)
    95
  1144. I never knew the thing I wanted most when I was a kid (record deal) would be the industry I’d eventually help topple🥲
    94
  1145. When Leland annouced he was about to have a chat with Rick Beato for a video, I knew the result was going to be entertaining and informative. Thank you, Rick.
    94
  1146. Not only a great teacher , but storyteller as well. Rick made me feel like I was there . I had a toy drum set at age 8 from a dept. store.Beat it silly. I think the first 'song ' I played was 'hey pardiddilly'. At 13 my grandparents bought me a $50 used Japanese kit. Blue sparkle under those Christmas lights .It was missing the front hoops . My grandparents didn't like that so they tracked down some used hoops & lugs at a drum store. That store later hired me to work there @ age 13 for 75 cents an hour sweeping the floors. I was just a little decent rock drummer taking lessons there. Then Dave Weckl shows up taking lessons - I think maybe 9 years old.Needless to say , I wasn't such a hot shot after that . Store was in St Louis called Reno Music / Mister Drums .
    94
  1147. It's refreshing to see the real thing once in awhile. That was terrific, Rick.
    94
  1148. It saddens me to say this, but this is one of the most entertaining posts you ever uploaded. I love the interview with Joni Mitchel, the "what makes this song great" series, and obviously the videos where you guys shoot the breeze about guitars and all the jazz. But this is pure magic. Made me laugh so hard
    94
  1149. This video has done Peter proud. A guy whose clear warmth was confined only to those who met him is now saved in posterity and Peter Smart no longer just belongs to small town U.K., but you’ve given him to the World. As sad and as painful as loss is, you’ve given him, his family and the world a gift I’ve always believed that we may never change the world, but we can change the world for one person. If we do that, we’ve not wasted a single breath or a single step. Peter has done this You have done this
    94
  1150. "Are we gonna need a chart for this? " Not even a minute later into the video "We're going into unCHARTed territory. " You're a funny man Rick. You didn't even realise
    93
  1151. The importance of being Honest. That's something that everyone needs to remember. We live in a 'polite world'. We forget that being honest can also be polite. Great video! Nice to see you outside the studio, Rick. I was getting to think that you lived your life in the studio.
    93
  1152. I've been saying it for 10+ years to groups and individuals who post videos. People want honesty and truth in the discussion and the presentation by the presenter. Be yourself and give your honest opinion. And if you're wrong. Own up to what ever it is. Rick, you have all this with your video's. That's why people watch you. Thank you for just being a good guy and talking to us as a real person. Peace and love man.
    93
  1153. Whether or not you like it,after this episode your show is officially an institution, Rick. Congratulations! And thank you from the bottom of my heart on behalf of all artists and true lovers of the art.
    93
  1154. Superb tribute. I feel your depth of caring for Peter. I recently moved to a small country town in Australia and quickly befriended my neighbour Gary. We got along really well. Spend lots of time sitting on the porch sipping a beer and talking about everything for music to gardening. One day he came outside and he couldn’t talk, he’d lost his voice. The local doctor dismissed it as a sore throat. 3 months later Gary passed away from throat cancer. I only knew him for about a year. But I miss him. Take care Rick.
    93
  1155. Never in my life did I think I would see something like this. Rick, you’ve pulled off a small miracle with what this channel has become. You’re the greatest music educator of our time.
    93
  1156. This for me is peak Rick Beato - his love of music really shines through and, much like the when he starts waxing poetic about why the shift from diatonic to mixolydian modes in a song was PURE GENIUS, even if I don't understand the nuances I'm inspired by his passion. Still here, after nearly a decade.
    93
  1157. This is one of the best music interviews I’ve seen… period. What an addition to the music community, Rick. Thank you to Julian for being so thoughtful with what and how you create. We all appreciate you. Keep it up, guys.
    92
  1158. Today, after being a nurse since the mid-90s, I took my first step moving away from it. I've changed, the healthcare industry has changed, nursing has changed. I just don't want to do that any more. It's a little scary, to be honest, so seeing your video today made me feel even more confident I'm doing the right thing. Thank you for the boost!
    92
  1159. Best interview I’ve ever heard. No, really. Ron’s stories are as articulate as they are charming. And Rick guides him from one fascinating aspect of early 60s jazz to another. Bookmark this interview, because you’ll want to hear it again.
    92
  1160. I think the last Brandi song was the best: the build-up, the emotion, the dissonance right before she belts out... it's a legitimately moving song. But no qualms with Rick's choices overall, especially after he explains his reasoning it's hard to disagree with.
    91
  1161. As a teacher myself, I can say that you are a brilliant teacher. I don't even know music or music theory but I watch you nonetheless because of your teaching ability. I wish today's education system would learn the value of teaching people according to their strengths.
    91
  1162. Theatre historian here... In the early 1800s, August von Kotzebue was the most popular playwright in all of Europe. His plays were EVERYWHERE. Now he's almost totally forgotten. There is no predicting what future history is going to look like.
    91
  1163. Have to admit, my heart absolutely dropped when I read the title of this video. I enjoy your videos so damn much. It always feels like a club for the music faithful. A safe haven or port. I am very glad that you will be around a while longer with it.
    91
  1164. Nobody better to interview JB than Rick. Such great knowledge, topics, and questions. Joe is so open and sharing with his gift, and watching him play in this intimate setting is amazing 🎸
    90
  1165. This stuff is incredible, Rick. I've been following you for years now, but the level, the quality of the content you're creating is immeasurable. I knew Brendan clearly, as a sound engineer, being an audio journalist myself. But listening to the stories, the details, without delving too much into "technical" details, but with such relaxed tones, stories of studio studies, production choices behind mixes, reverbs, guitar racks, they're priceless capsules of music culture. I expect a series, a movie, a content put on support that will remain for future generations. You're doing quality work, which I, like most of us followers, believe is unfindable online. It comes naturally to you, and to me as a viewer, it feels like I'm in the room with you chatting. Thank you.
    90
  1166. Great to have these folks that you’re so good at staying in touch with being in the room with you. Thats part of “in real life” as well.
    90
  1167. How about a Captain Meets Rick Beato
    90
  1168. What Vinnies playing ain't chopped liver either😂❤
    90
  1169. Wow, I almost forgot that you can have different opinions, even opposite, and sit down and talk about it, and not making it a personal attack. Thank you, to both. We need more of this.
    90
  1170. If I don't watch this R & R interview about 300 times, I will be ashamed of myself. Two of my favorite people in the entire world that I've never met, however feel like they are family. THANK YOU RICKS❕ I cannot wait to watch this 🫵
    89
  1171. Such a great song in all respects. Daltrey's vocals are so epic and emotional.
    89
  1172. Rick, my daughter who is 25 watches you, and thank you thank you thank you for helping introduce her to the BEST music out there and to appreciate it.
    89
  1173. I bet... a generation from now, young musicians will tell others that the Beato interview with Metheny back in the early 20's really turned on a light for them 😉👍
    89
  1174. What happened here is Rick's wife was starting to doubt his 'I use all my guitars' claim so he whipped up a zeppelin video where he 'had' to use 9 different guitars. We see you, Rick. Nice video, this is catnip for us. Sort of surprised you rank Kashmir first, it's one of my favorites though. Didn't know the opinion was wideheld. Must have missed something.
    89
  1175. Rick oh Rick oh Rick. Your channel is a bit of a shrine to some of us. I work in a profession that spends a lot of time looking at YouTube. Its fair to say that while you are a YouTuber you are a Content Producer as we would describe it. Generally you can divide what goes on in these platforms into 2 groups: Influencers and Content Producers and you are very much the latter. Of course you influence but it happens because your priority is to make great content about something you care passionately about and have an excellent domain expertise on. For that reason, the usual curve of a YouTuber lifespan just does not apply. Be happy and make the content you love and sorry about all that demonetization/copyright crap.
    89
  1176. You know when the video starts and Rick has TWO FULL STACKS behind him that things are about to get serious.
    89
  1177. All Right Now with solos by: * Brian May * Jeff Beck * Duane Allman
    89
  1178. Fewer microphones No compression Pay attention, y'all
    89
  1179. At first I thought, "you could use tapping with that" But knowing how the great Allan Holdsworth played, I knew it involved destroying hands
    88
  1180. My dear Rick, thank you every damn day for giving us this unbelievable content. I'm in the process of getting out of a really bad abusive relationship and your videos help me every day to clear my mind for a bit so i thoroughly and genuinely wanted to tell you, THANK YOU.
    88
  1181. I'm a cardiac sonographer. I'm sure you've had your share of echocardiograms. Let me just say that I'm impressed that you're home and feeling so well this soon following open-heart surgery. You look lean and healthy. I'm happy that your pain is manageable. I know cardiac patients dread a cough and especially a sneeze. I'm a subscriber to your channel, and I follow you regularly. I'm selfishly happy that you'll be continuing to share your vast knowledge of music with the rest of us. Well done!
    88
  1182. I am in awe of Keith and Rick. This is a treasure. Music for me is a valid reason for living even when all other things are going bad. This talk between Keith and Rick made my life better. It makes me feel hope for mankind that talent like this exists.
    88
  1183. Starting to believe that the history of rock is a hoax: Rick Beato made all the music himself.
    88
  1184. Rick is the musician father figure I've never had growing up.. an absolute gem to the music community 💎 .. thank you for being one of the best music content creator.. your videos are always a treat
    88
  1185. That brought a tear to my eye, I remember when you first mentioned Peter — I loved that with him being in the UK like myself you two had a friendship through your generosity with your book and a shared love of music. At 91 he lived an amazingly long life through amazing times, I'm 53 and have been stage 4 for two years now. Life sometimes isn't as long as we'd like it to be, but I've found your channel a real comfort and it's heartwarming that Peter and his family actually know you. And heartwarming you shared your news with your community.
    87
  1186. I work in a large operating room in VA. Yesterday I was fortunate enough to observe a procedure where a patient that had experienced deafness as an adult, and had a cochlear implant installed to restore their hearing. During the case the co-ordinator for the neuro/ent case showed me a second implant they had on standby in case the first one didn’t work. I told him jokingly that he should put it on EBay, and he replied the implant alone cost $28k. Another nurse in the room said that was really expensive for something so small, and he and I replied that it was a bargain at $28k because it replaced something that’s priceless.
    87
  1187. I swear this channel is an absolute treasure. To get all of this information from a veteran musician and producer for free is something I can't thank you enough for, Rick. Keep rocking man, also those sideburns are awesome
    87
  1188. The vocal harmonies at the end, where Bono actually cuts out, and it's just Edge and a few other voices: that part blows my mind every time. For the singer to step OUT, and the music to get "broader," is RARE.
    87
  1189. It is simply incredible how such unique and distinct personalities like Sting, Brian May, Dereck Trucks, and Billy Corgan can somehow completely feel disarmed and open themselves up in the company of Rick Beato. On their own these uniquely talented and highly refined persons wouldn‘t be able to be present in the same room, but alone with Rick they so obviously feel safe and trusting that they are opening up in the most intimate way. I had never imagined it would be possible to get Billy talk at such length and detail about most intricate parts of his creative process. It is highly illuminating, a unique window into his amazing personality. Billy Corgan has always been known to be an encyclopedically knowledgeable and highly intellectual person with sharp caustic mind, but this interview is something special, it is a feast to watch. Billy Corgan is a genius. Testament to Rick Beato for his unique skill to make people open up with him.
    87
  1190. I like Rick's smile when Tommy plays something challenging and this gesture shows total respect. Nice video, nice guys
    87
  1191. Rick is probably the first interviewer I've seen that can get Maynard engaged. Even more than he was on Rogan. All of the guys in the band are pretty private. This is legendary, great job Rick!
    87
  1192. Rick, you are a music preservationist national treasure. Keep up the good work keeping these tunes alive for a new generation to discover.
    87
  1193. Everyone else is making reaction videos to songs everybody knows and loves. But Rick's all nah, y'all can watch me react to some obscure jazz solo. 250K views later...
    87
  1194. The problem with this video is that the top ten alternate guitar tuning songs are in fact all by Joni Mitchell!
    86
  1195. Rick is an archivist, a curator, in the best possible ways… first, he RECOGNIZES brilliant musicians and illuminates and probes their genius; second, he gets them to both display and reflect on their influences, development, and trajectory, bringing forth a high-level kind of metacognition which pushes the envelope of understanding, but also deepens the appreciation for the past. This interview was a superb example of the mastery of two crafts; illuminating the genius of a rare musician such as Matteo, and the threading of the needle of historical context by another master from an earlier generation, who, avoiding grandstanding and control, allows the interviewee to make and reveal discoveries to all of us who are fortunate enough to apprehend both ends of the spectrum of the history that is being made.
    86
  1196. This was the greatest interview I've ever seen in my life w Lanois. Maybe with anyone. He is so open and relaxed and full of joy and gems. Thank you so much for what you do, Rick. I'll carry this one with me the rest of my life.
    86
  1197. I would've liked to hear what the treble strings sounded like. Also, to hear the difference on single coils. Great video! Perhaps you could do a follow up?
    86
  1198. It's amazing how he doesn't age! Guitar keeps you young! 🔥🎸🙏
    86
  1199. I love this. I notice that most of my favorite albums were created when the artist is young (20’s-30’s). They’re delivering emotionally and using their talents to work out their life. Most young listeners are more passionate about their favorite artists. I suspect we’re using the music to work out our own life and that’s where the passion comes from. After we develop into the next phases of life, we move away from the artist. Listening to the early albums take us back to that earlier place in our life. It’s similar to friendships. Unless young friends grow in the same or similar ways, they likely won’t stay close. They find themselves reminiscing about old times.
    86
  1200. I like the Vintage 30s over the G12H. More crisp and the definition is much better and more together sounding. (I listened to these over studio monitors)
    86
  1201. His eloquence, gentle demeanour, and amazing recollections… He talks about 1960 like it was last week.
    86
  1202. I used to call auto-tuned music “Salon Music” because Cher’s “Believe” always used to play at my hair salon. That tune unnerved me, because historically, I rather liked Cher’s voice. Lol on Kravitz’s “rhyme!” Auto tune makes me sad…
    86
  1203. Rick must be only guy to air guitar with a strat on his lap that he can actually play! This PJ album is absolutely killer (no filler) from start to finish. Very much a Bonham sound with the reverb on the drums.
    86
  1204. What a treasure! Rick, you are doing this again and again. What a historic tribute to these artists, What a gift to we listeners. 31:01 to 38:53 had me both crying and cheering! Watching Mr. Jarrett's face as you reminded him of what was to me a sterling and sensitive tribute to his musical genius and a benevolent gift of time-warp into his rich past. You both will always have this and so will I. You've let me get a glimpse of something great and historic through your eyes, and now it's the filter of my eyes, too. This has been one for the ages and the angels. Thank you both.
    86
  1205. Rick, you're a class act by donating your royalties on the guitars to a Charity, but we couldn't expect anything less from you because that's what you are, a class act and a true lover of music education. An immense thank you for the genius you're distilling through your channel(s). Take care.
    86
  1206. incredible story. told with honesty and grace.
    85
  1207. Greatest YouTube series in history.Thank you for providing us with insights on the magic behind these masterpieces
    85
  1208. Imagine having that Crowfield record, and by circumstance you independently were already a fan of Rick Beato the Youtuber. Mind blown out that the Cardinal Motion outro is HIS solo. I know he does it all the time in his WMTSG vids, but that L cut to the Crowfield solo is just so strikingly different from the normal Rick geeking out on someone else's riffs. It's truly AWEsome to see Rick revisiting (and masterfully performing) his own creation in tribute to someone he lost years ago... you're absolute magic, Rick, amongst the finest 'tubers out there. Well done, sir, and thank you for sharing.
    85
  1209. The single most illuminating video on how music has been made over the last 50 years. The brilliance of a session player has so little to do with just musical skill; many musicians have the threshold talent to do it, but few have the wisdom—and I think that is the best word to explain what Tim is sharing here—to make it. What I most enjoyed about this video is that Tim sharing his path to success as a studio musician applies almost universally to any other job dependent on teamwork and process. I’ll watch this many times to come. Rick walks Tim through this perfectly, letting him take the entire video to answer one question and simply underscoring key points with his own insightful questions and comments. So very, very well done. “Adele hates wah.” That sums it up precisely. There is now a, “handbook.” Thank you, Gentlemen.
    85
  1210. What a freakin' privilege it was to watch that!! Rick makes the time, and takes the time to conduct real interviews... no... he takes the time to have real conversations about music and how it is made. Stunning interview Rick. Enjoyed every minute.
    85
  1211. What I love about your chanel Rick is not only do you showcase musicians, but the human beings within them.
    85
  1212. Lonely Runner by Billionaire is possibly the greatest song of all time!!!!! Totally rocking out to this!
    85
  1213. Rick, your interview style is that of a super-duper intelligent fan. It’s perfect. The person being interviewed is allowed to thoroughly answer each question, and the questions are the exact ones needed. Kudos to you.
    85
  1214. "Sorry about the gratuitous guitar solo there." How dare you, Rick. Never say that again. The only thing wrong with your videos is that some of them don't have you playing guitar solos.
    85
  1215. Rick, I just bought your Beato Book and I just want to say, I am blown away by how much information is there. The fact that it has audio examples to go with lessons makes it worth every penny and then some. Thank you for the work that went into making it!
    85
  1216. This video seems timely as Daniel's brother Bob just died unexpectedly last week. A huge loss for our local music community, as I'm sure a personal one for Daniel. Daniel Lanois got his musical start here in my city of Hamilton Ontario, Canada(40 miles south west of Toronto). It was his older brother Bob who started with Daniel, recording locals musicians and bands in their mothers basement, eventually buying an old house and setting it up as a well renowned studio locally and nationally called Grant Ave (still in use today as a studio by a friend who bought it from them). In the liner notes for Joshua Tree, Bob gets a shout out from Bono. Bob still lived here in Hamilton and had another studio and artist's studio setup(Bob was also an amazing photographer and visual artist; Daniel produced Emmylou Harris' Wrecking Ball album features Bob's pictures of her) for locals to rent in an industrial part of town. I was lucky to have met and speak with him a few years back and we had a common acquaintance that knew how much of a fan I was of his and Daniel's music and production work.
    85
  1217. I was lucky enough to shoot a live session there a few months back - one of the most surreal experiences of my life! It's such an incredible place with so much history it's hard not to be a little overawed and just treat it as what it is; a studio. An incredibly memorable day though!
    85
  1218. I have few words to describe how meaningful this interview was for me. I discovered Pat, Lyle and Jaco on Joni's Shadows and Light TV special when it aired. That album remains to this day one of my favourite albums simply because of the vast ground it covers. Pat's Solo on that album still brings a tear to my eye all these decades later. As Falls is one of my fave Pat/Lyle collaborations. At 59 and recovering from a 15 year hiatus on guitar, I'm struggling to even sound reasonable, but players such as Pat offer no end of inspiration to keep plodding along. Thank you for this, Rick.
    84
  1219. Two of the most influential people of my life ... having a conversation. It doesnt get better than this. No one influenced me more than Jon Anderson from the past and Rick Beato has single handedly brought my passion for music from the grave. Absolutely love this wonderful conversation from two giants.
    84
  1220. I once read a sign or bumper sticker or something that said- DONT POSTPONE JOY. It hit me pretty hard. I’ve been a musician pretty much my whole life and I can’t think of myself ever not making music. It is who I am. It is my joy. When I see you do what you do, I know it’s your joy too. You can’t help it either. That is why your channel is successful. It is your gift. Shine your light. Share your joy. God Bless.
    84
  1221. There is no one else that can break music down so technically yet make it so simple and understandable that ANYONE who looks at your videos walks away feeling like they have a new understanding and appreciation for they own inherent love of music.... there is always an "AHA" moment in every video you do... damn, I wish I was your neighbour... I would be the peskiest student!
    84
  1222. This wasn't just a great interview by Rick of another legend... It was a mini-concert. Love that Rick needed no prodding of Tommy to play an example of what Tommy was talking about, which makes this interview one I'll watch many times.
    84
  1223. I'm astonished. Both about the long wait before the operation as well as the extremely short recovery time. My daughter (1st year medical student) diagnosed my mitral severe regurgitation and after the necessary positive tests I am awaiting surgery. It does me well to see you like this after one week Rick!
    84
  1224. This is one of the most telling countdowns I've seen yet of how this minimalist composing has taken hold, how the story arc of songs has flattened and how there's so little information is left and production has taken the place of composition. These old songs with beautiful chord progressions and the new ones with just one short turnaround on repeat. I had these discussions with my stepson who makes EDM, how this infinite repeating of the same chords bores me after a short while. For him the music I like sounds the same through the song because the instrumentation stays the same. It's to me like form over structure. Embellishments over foundation. If you look back to the even more intricate and complex classical music, how come we get so simple nowadays? Why is everything getting more complex except music?
    84
  1225. I would love a Robert Smith of The Cure interview!! Rick knows their music and has reviewed it several times on his channel in the past. Robert is such a nice person with a beautiful soul and music is all his life ! I think this would be an amazing interview - a journey into the unique discography of The Cure that has so much diversity from punk rock to goth to synthpop to ultimately becoming the distinctive The Cure sound that we love! Please consider this interview ❤
    84
  1226. Well, damn it. The melody is affecting. The title is profoundly relevant. The lyrics touching. The technology is sublime. The story of how it all came to be is bittersweet, and all that makes it a better song than what appears on the surface.
    84
  1227. Excellent video, Beato. Not only was Cavett's interview great, but when I first watched it years ago it changed my musical tastes. As a garage band rock drummer I had never listened to much jazz piano, but Peterson illustrated those style differences so beautifully that I just had to run out and buy some LPs of Oscar. I nearly wore those albums out.
    84
  1228. "If you have my Beato book, you know these things." I'm still trying to get past the circle of fifths.
    84
  1229. It would be awesome if there was a RickRadio where he was DJ and introduced each song for 2 mins and dissected it after for 2 mins... although I would never get anything done.
    83
  1230.  @Markothunder  it really is hilarious that he reproduced it so well they were unable to tell.
    83
  1231. You are a good bloke Rick. Through all the wrangilng with YouTube and how finances work in this domain you still stick at it and deliver interesting and personal music and musical analysis that is top notch. You have definitely contributed to my survival during this dreadful pandemic. Keep going.
    83
  1232. Hum - “Stars” is a great one as well.
    83
  1233. I say this with all sincerity, I love you Rick. Your passion for music is infectious and your videos are an absolute joy to watch. Thank you. 🙏
    83
  1234. Who can Beato interview after this legendary segment? Herbie Hancock, perhaps?
    83
  1235. You must pinch yourself sometimes Rick. I know you are a very talented muso in your own right, but to be sitting across shooting the breeze with a great man like Chuck Rainey, with all that knowledge. Just brilliant. And I love how you let them speak.

  1236. Safe to assume that Sting and Dominic would be impressive but the stage belonged to Rick. You did not have to play one note to prove you have the musical chops to hang with 2 legends and they clearly enjoyed the conversation. Rick turned an interview into a valuable experience worthy of the time invested. Well done.
    83
  1237. Me: you can't call an artist to ask about a certain note right?! Rick: Hold my beer.
    83
  1238. That music in the background just makes all the clips so cohesive to the video as a whole. It leaves you feeling nostalgic with a touch of sweet melancholy. Made me a bit emotional thinking about all of those music legends and how much they’ve meant to me in my life. Thank you Rick, for all of the the amazing work!
    83
  1239. Sweet! I asked for Alex's snare sound in the comments of episode one. I'm going to go the rest of the day with an extra lilt in my step, knowing that I influenced episode two.
    83
  1240. me: Aw, there's a mini-Beato! my husband, looking over my shoulder: A Beatling! Happy holidays to you and may we all have a better 2021! ❤️
    82
  1241. Shredding on the lute! I think there is plenty of Django in Bream's playing. (His dog was named Django.) He played in a jazz band when he did National Service and there are videos of him jamming Django-style. The lute players were expected to be able to improvise fast on the changes and had a lot in common with today's jazzers. One of Al di Meola's favourite records was Bream's album of 20th century music. I was lucky to have met Bream several times after concerts and he would just hang out and chat to the audience backstage. No ego, just talent.
    82
  1242. Best interview I've seen of Mr. DeMeola. Like two friends just talking.
    82
  1243. I feel like getting into a place like that is like unlocking the final level to a impossibly hard video game that you have been playing for years, and as a kid you have dreamed of that day to come. That must have been a real treat of an experience.
    82
  1244. Playing the Best Steely Dan Tunes he played on DURING the interview made this one of the coolest interviews of any musician EVER, Rick. So cool.
    82
  1245. I've never seen clips though he must have been with Oscar when he performed at Eisenhower College when I went there in the early '80's. I was so rolled over by the entire performance I came away stunned and ready to give up my (then) music major.
    82
  1246. Rick, I had given up on myself as a guitarist and almost even thrown in the towel as someone who wanted to see himself as a musician. Your teaching and enthusiasm have given me a tough love smack in the head to keep reaching to grow and learn. You lend new life to a kind of mysticism of rock, blues, and jazz to which I subscribed in my youth but in which I more recently—quite foolishly—had started to lose faith. Thanks for the smack in the head. 🎸🙏🏻
    82
  1247. This may be THE definitive Pat Metheny interview.
    82
  1248. I love this guy. Of all the guitar related content on Youtube, Rick's contributions always educate and always entertain. Mr Beato is a top notch legend.
    81
  1249. That was amazing! No one brings out the candor like you do , Rick. You speak their language in terms of music knowledge, but you also are a fan and feel the emotional sentiment and appreciate the artistry being portrayed , which is not lost on Artists such as Al. Beautiful. What a wonderful gift this video is.
    81
  1250. I needed to hear this. Thanks Rick. After years of putting it off, I finally just started a YouTube Metal Cover Channel (barely any subscribers so far, lol, but I'm putting all of my passion, hard work and being consistent as I can). It's personal stories like this that inspire and encourage people like me. Hopefully I will be able to do the same one day.
    81
  1251. For anyone that hasn’t purchased it, The Beato Book is incredible. He’s not peddling some 80’s VHS learn-by-watching people shred content.
    81
  1252. This is an incredible story my friend. So damn cool.
    81
  1253. The way that you walk the line between an awestruck fan and a knowledgable professional in these interviews is unmatched on youtube. Thank you, Rick, for all you do.
    80
  1254. Upon seeing the title: Hey, it's my favorite band! Upon hearing the intro: Hey, it's my favorite song! After the video: Hey, it's my lucky day!
    80
  1255. Never clicked so hard on YouTube!
    79
  1256. Rick I went to Dick Grove School of Music and learned this theory. Your teaching is just as good. I hope people appreciate this. Cheers James.
    79
  1257. YES mate. So happy you guys got together. Crushed it as always. Off to practice that arpeggio technique...
    79
  1258. ❤ x 1 million. Thank you! Watching Keith listen to his own performance of Solar was quite possibly the greatest thing I have ever seen on YouTube. My eyeballs were sweating.
    79
  1259. Rick is so talented and skilled, but is doing well on you tube partly because he is so likeable. He’s so passionate about what he likes and never disparages anyone. He always makes me smile. And by the way, he’s preaching to the choir about Bono’s singing:)
    79
  1260. "I'm gonna call Seal and ask him" Rick. Rick Rick Rick. You've got to understand, I'm chopping up some veggies for dinner, I hear you say this, and I about lose a digit. I don't know how you pulled this off, but WOW!! Your videos are gifts to us. This... Was a gift today!
    79
  1261. The cultural value of Rick's interviews now and in the future is immeasurable. This one with Keith Jarrett maybe especially. The scenes when Rick plays them their own music and we can see from their body language how they are catapulted back to that special point in time that was captured on tape. And how they probably relive it as a performer but also become their own listener at the same time. And then when they look at Rick with that slight proud smile, because they feel the recognition that they've created something even bigger than themselves. It's so moving. Simply priceless. Thank you Rick!
    78
  1262. Rick, I consume nearly all of your content...I love it. As a drummer, interviewer, and writer I firmly believe this is your very best interview. THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this. I've sent this link to every drummer I know, and just shared it with the band. Again...thank you!
    78
  1263. This is one of Beato's best modes - he mixes his musical knowledge, professorial instruction, and knowledge of multiple periods of musical history to prove his point. Well done!
    78
  1264. This is hands-down the most important video you have ever done. Humans need to be reminded of greatness. I’m seeking this man out to support.
    78
  1265. Man, I don't even know where to start. Brendan O'Brien is a hero for all of us who love 90s and 2000s rock, and Rick you are our hero for doing this! Also it needs to be said, you are great at interviews in the way that you let the other person speak. So many hosts constantly interrupt and it kind of spoils the interview. Much respect Rick, thank you for these videos, cheers!
    78
  1266. It's one of my worst fears. I always wear ear plugs, I bought even the expensive ones. I hope genetics won't betray me, and I hope someday there will be a solution for this problem. I wish you the best
    78
  1267. I could listen to Rick and many of his friends all day long, when I should be practicing, composing, and recording. Thanks a lot Rick.
    78
  1268. I am so glad Rick started this channel. God-tier interviewer with god-tier subjects. Perfect every time. I’m always amazed how effortlessly he figures out how each subject wants to be treated. Just perfect.
    77
  1269. Rick, I think what you’re doing right now is as important as what Moses Asch did almost a century ago with his Folkways recordings. He introduced me to Woody Guthrie, the Carter Family, Doc Watson, et al. Your production are capturing the stories and details behind very important artists of our era. I hope you know how valuable these interviews will be to future generations! Your interview style is impeccable too. You listen, and gracefully and artfully draw the best from your guests. Thank you!
    77
  1270. I don't use a lot of music in my videos, but when I do I pay for the rights to use it. EVERY TIME I use music I get a strike. Every time... I file a dispute and after a couple weeks the claim goes away, but it still pisses me off. Love your channel by the way.
    77
  1271. For episode 100 we need a two hour one on 2112 by rush
    77
  1272. Rick is such an amazing storyteller.
    77
  1273. 0:47 Rick, there's an easy solution for that. Just edit in "click to x time to skip to me playing" and everyone will be pleased.
    77
  1274. This is the Jon Stewart show but for music. You’re a great sport as well being gentle with some of these turkeys. Rick you gotta keep doing this every week you’re onto something buddy ! 👌👌
    77
  1275. Perfect pitch is amazing but to be able to dissect and identify those chords instantly? Insane. I think the most interesting question though is about epigenetics. In other words, the lifetime of music learning Rick has done, according to epigenetics, affects the expression of genes that relate to music. The question is the degree that some of this skill has been passed on to Dylan genetically, giving him a running start to the theory and ear training Rick has provided? There's some interesting scientific study potential here. Dylan and Rick--you're both amazing.
    77
  1276. These two english guys have very strong american accents
    77
  1277. What you've done here is nothing short of a miracle. Your influence on the world of music education and music appreciation is on par with Keith's contribution to improvisation. The power of your work cannot be understated. God bless you, sir.
    77
  1278. Alan is not only a musical virtuoso but a great human being. I love that he's getting some recognition.
    76
  1279. I don't know her personally but several good friends have played with her for decades. I know lots of her students and have never once heard anyone say anything negative about her. In the world if competitive classical music that's as rare as an 80 year-old playing Prokofiev.
    76
  1280. Hi Rick. Just a comment before this gets taken down. It's quite obvious what you're pointing out even if you're being the great guy you are and not actually pointing fingers. It's such a shame that modern artists (I'll even include Bi*ber among them), who have some real musical, lyrical and songwriting talent can't just be put in a studio with great producers such as yourself and 'guided' into writing their own, better music. Keep doing what you do bud and show the world what the reality of the music world is. I also agree with your view on AutoTune - it's killing the vocal aspect of songs. I can't actually focus on the lyrics of modern songs because the AutoTune just hollows out any emotion in the song. Songs should tell a story. If you listen to someone good reading an audibook, they don't stay with the same cadence all the way through, they change up, down, whatever to make you feel what the author intended. That's my take on this. I'm sure there are many who will disagree and that's good too.
    76
  1281. "Art is how we decorate space, music is how we decorate time." -Jean-Michel Basquia Acquiring a wealth of musical knowledge and sharing it must be one of the most rewarding experiences on earth. Life without music would render any landscape barren. Rick, we appreciate your commitment to teaching us music and its history. Cheers!
    76
  1282. Such beautiful chord progressions. I watch this video regularly just bc of the chance to hear them cleanly played by Rick
    76
  1283. This was better than any interview I've ever heard between two producers of music can't wait for part 2 thank you Rick for all your efforts there is nobody out there like you
    76
  1284. Rick is one of the only people I would watch reaction videos of. He's just a lover of music and he's always super informative. Thanks Rick!
    76
  1285. OK Rick. THIS is the BEST “What Makes This Song Great?” You have ever done. Incredible, I loved every second of it.
    76
  1286. Hey Rick I bought your ear training a bit ago and I can say it is really good. I can think of the intervals on the guitar as I hear a song now! It was brutal but worth it! Thank you!
    75
  1287. Just came here for context after watching Rick's interview with Pat Metheny. The content of what Burton says is fascinating and sent me back to several of his old recordings. But the overriding sense I get from this video is that Rick is just a *fantastic* interviewer. So personable, knowledgeable and knowing exactly how to let the interview subject provide exactly what's needed with just gentle prodding. Bravo. This guy could talk to Kenny G and find a way to make it interesting.
    75
  1288. You know it’s about to get serious when the guitar is high in the strap and isn’t resting on the right leg
    75
  1289. I kid you not, just this morning I was driving around, thinking to myself "Rick should do a WMTSG on BH. Even though it's overplayed, oversaturated, and I'm almost tired of hearing it, this recording is so deep and so layered and so complex, Rick can resurrect the fascination within us by dissecting this masterpiece, rendering it new again." And that's exactly what you have done. Bravo! This may be the best WMTSG thus far! Thank you. Mr. Beato.
    75
  1290. Hold up people, this wasn't a competition, Rick sounded like Rick Young, Phil sounded like Phil Young, and Ron sounded like Bumble Young, that was the point!
    75
  1291. One thing that never changes in these videos is Ricks unabashed love and joy of music. It's tangable!
    74
  1292. Another fantastic video, Rick! I am completely talentless when it comes to playing music (I can't even clap along in time with a song), and I don't have the faintest grasp of music theory (as far as I'm concerned it might as well be magic), but your enthusiasm and love for music is palpable and infectious! Thank you for that: you're helping to keep great music alive by introducing it to new generations, and for that you should be given the keys to the planet!
    74
  1293. Rick will be a 90 year old man and will still get that gleam in his eye when he plays AC/DC.
    74
  1294. "The light I want is bright as possible, so I can see what he's playing" Ha, great statement Rick! I agree 100%.
    74
  1295. Beyond compression tricks or sophisticated harmonic analysis, this kind of in depth dive is what I enjoy the most on the channel. Thank you for sharing such life experiences
    74
  1296. This might be one of the best interviews I have ever seen. Rick, you have outdone yourself! I have to echo others in the comments here and say I am not the biggest Sting fan (although I do love the Police) but I see him in a whole new light now due to your incredible insight and enthusiasm. Seriously, amazing video. I will be sharing this with all my music loving friends!
    74
  1297. Hey Rick, small world! I'm Fairport High, class of '79. I'm related to the Stolt Family (my Aunt Edith), Angie and Sofie who lived on High Street were two of my favorite people in the world, Uncle Perry, IGA grocery north of the canal...you were a legend guitar player in Fairport. Loving your channel, and as I enter semi-retirement, I plan to concentrate more on my guitar playing. Great to know of your success and will be visiting your channel often...
    74
  1298. I'm a bit surprised people are at the level of arguing about who should be called the 'King of Shoegaze'. It's a complimentary title for Rick's video for a very talented musician and songwriter who was kind enough to agree to an interview for Rick. I am sure neither Adam Franklin nor Kevin Shields cares about being called 'the King of Shoegaze' and Kevin Shields wouldn't mind that this interview isn't him - no need to be offended on his behalf. I hope no one on this thread disliked the video because of this title. It doesn't really matter, does it?
    74
  1299. I've watched Rick for a while now, during live streams and the talks with Rhett and Dave you can tell he is happy with what he's doing, but in this video you can really see the joy and passion he has for the whole craft. In most of the videos he seems like an educator, but here he looks like a kid at Christmas, and you can see what has driven him to do all this. So nice to see.
    74
  1300. As great as Eric and Phil's solos on this are, Rick's take on Frampton fitted it just perfectly! Easily as good as the original ;0)
    74
  1301. I agree with the comment, "Easily the greatest running YouTube series ever." Thank you, Rick. Anyway, I haven't scrolled terribly far through the 700+ comments to see if anyone else brought it up, but I would have loved to hear your take on the vocalist's cue before the final solo: "Go!" A kind of musical "call to arms." That moment is so on point.
    73
  1302. I should be working...instead I found the Rick Beato "What Makes This Song Great" series...
    73
  1303. What makes Rick special is the depth of his familiarity with the technical aspects of production plus his awesome attitude.
    73
  1304. I can't play any instrument. I really don't understand half of what you are explaining because of that. BUT you perfectly explain why I love so many of the songs you feature. This is by far one of my all time favorites. You explain why they bring out the feelings that they do and how they do it. Please keep up the great work!
    73
  1305. Rick, as usual I hesitate to click on your video because I know I will be transported away from reality into a magical world with a grin I cannot wipe from my face and an hour of my life lost fixated on another riveting interview! ❤
    73
  1306. One big reason (of many big reasons) why Rick’s interviews are so good is the simple fact that the guests being interviewed have legitimate RESPECT for the interviewer. They can relate to Rick as “one of them”, so they are much more likely to open up. I agree with what other people have said… there should be a YouTube award for Rick’s interviewing successes.
    72
  1307. Rick, you went to the right place! Cleveland Clinic is the gold standard for cardiac surgery. I have worked with many of the surgeons (including the former CEO, Dr. Toby Cosgrove) and many of the cardiothoracic anesthesiologists. The fact that you're up, back home, and pain free is a tribute to not only the care you received but the overall state of your health. I'm so pleased you had a great experience here in Cleveland (did you get to the R&R HOF????) and keep up your amazing music theory / analysis channel. Jeff Wahl (patient safety / risk management attorney, Beachwood Ohio)
    72
  1308. 2 days after posting this video, over 1,2 million viewers and more than 12,000 comments. As someone over 60, you're proving yourself wrong. Keep on going, Rick!
    72
  1309. It's nice to be around someone who is so talented, yet so humble and kind--and that goes for BOTH of you! This was very entertaining, Rick. My thanks to you both!
    72
  1310. I’m live sound tech who owns a sound company in Vancouver focused on working with mid sized events where I can really interact with talent. I played the circuit in the 90s-early 2s myself as well as a guitar player and vocalist. You’re the only channel I watch regularly. Always so insightful. Every time I post one of you videos I find out about more friends or colleagues I admire that also follow what you have to say. Please keep it up. Those who know what’s up have a lot of respect for hat you do.
    72
  1311. The way you break down and explain things is the intangible mark of an expert. Thank you for all that you do, Rick. You’re a big inspiration.
    72
  1312. A bib big part of the success of your channel is that you're so damned personable. When a Rick Beato video appears on my feed I will almost always make time to watch it because hearing you talk about things that interest both you and myself, hearing you do pleasant, informed interviews with familiar and unfamiliar musicians helps make my day. And yes, there will come a day when you quit YouTube and on that day all of us will mourn. Honestly, because you make this website a better place to visit. Live long and prosper, Rick.
    72
  1313. Man. I love how you can see how much you genuinely love music. The amount of joy and admiration you display while making these videos are infectious. Keep it up Rick!
    72
  1314. TREMENDOUS PRODUCTION RICK! Whoever you found in London did a perfect, perfect job.
    72
  1315. It takes as much artistry to appreciate Joni Mitchell's music as it does on her part to create it! It's sad that so much of today's music lacks the soul of work like this! Just a brilliant musician and artist! Thank You for this presentation of her!
    72
  1316. Not many interviewers could have pulled this off. You know how to listen, because you're genuinely interested in what he has to say, rather than trying to steer the conversation towards gotchas for headlines. That's the difference between "media" interviews with musicians, conducted by journos, and the discussions between musicians that we get from your channel.
    71
  1317. Sweet Jesus, Beato hits a Grand Slam. Frampton. A Marshall and a Les Paul. GOLD.
    71
  1318. Merry Christmas, Rick. The best of holidays to you and yours.
    71
  1319. 18:45 You debated? So glad you did this. This was an intimate look at a labor of love that cleary still affects you deeply. One of the most honest things I've ever seen on YouTube. Peace.
    71
  1320. I love that Rick can listen to current heavy metal on Spotify and then reference jazz greats like NHØP and Oscar Peterson in a video just a while later.
    71
  1321. It’s so refreshing to watch an intelligent interviewer that really knows his stuff and has the absolute respect of the artists.
    71
  1322. I learned more in the first 9 minutes of this interview than in any other guitar tutorial video I’ve seen.
    70
  1323. "And while you're at it" That was pure gold, Rick.
    70
  1324. I woke up today with Lonely Runner in my head....
    70
  1325. I was happy to see Epica represented and couldn't stop looking at the colour of that PRS.
    70
  1326. Masterful drum playing. Jack clearly has played a bit of Zep in his life 😎 Once you cranked those BAE pre's the sound was nailed. Another amazing video Rick!
    70
  1327. This video is 100% troll fest against YouTube algorithm, good job Rick 🤣😎 Forgot to play GNR though
    70
  1328. Rick, you really do deserve a MacArthur Award for your teaching. Anyone, you, that can bridge garage rock to fusion with equal joy should be so honored. Thanks. And yes praise Jaco. The flame that burned too bright.
    70
  1329. Rick, of all the great things you've done on this channel — and it is a long list — this may be the greatest. Bless Keith, and bless you for bringing this to us.
    70
  1330. Andy is a fantastic interviewee. When Rick talks he never cuts him off, like many other famous people do--unable to listen to anyone else. And Andy tells wonderful stories with beginnings, middles, and endings! Bravo gents.
    70
  1331. As a Band Director this resonates because I’m CONSTANTLY calling students attention to this! Once we talk about it and we demonstrate this a few times they are like OH!!! Yeah… I hear that. BUT…. The old adage - the more YOU-WE know the more our minds are blown when other people DON’T know
    69
  1332. When Rick goes to a jazz club: "Sir, I'm terribly sorry but we need to ask you to leave... you're enjoying the music more than the rest of this place combined and making everyone feel inadequate in their jazz comprehension. " Rick: "Shouldn't they be the ones asked to leave?" "Good point. You can stay."
    69
  1333. I actually could not imagine passing trough times like these we’re living today without Rick Beato and his interviews.. thank you for doing this Mr Beato. I’m really grateful
    69
  1334. When I watch Rick's videos, I feel like the master is teaching his pupils and telling them the amazing stories he had and the great people he met.
    69
  1335. “Hey everyone, I’m Rick B—“ like You’re a true gem of the music community.
    69
  1336. great interview lads...lovely...but tell him he needs to work on his impression of me a little more...
    69
  1337. I am a 48 year old fan of music. I never learned an instrument. I believe I could sing, but simply cannot bring myself to sing in front of anyone. I have watched uncounted hours of your videos & have developed a much greater appreciation of what goes into the music that I love. Thank you for what you do!
    69
  1338. I like how Rick continues to put out good info that makes you appreciate music even more. He hasn’t devolved or sold out into one of those YouTubers that just compares and Epiphone to a Gibson or tells you what new amp that you don’t have is the best in the world. Keep it real, Rick. And thank you.
    69
  1339. “Etched in Mud” ..... my new favorite saying..... stealing that... just like I stole so many of his bass lines
    69
  1340. Would love to see you and Dave Grohl have a chat about this and other songs on your channel Rick!
    68
  1341. Well done Rick, this is the first interview of yours I’d seen. I’ve just watched the Brian May one too and I’m blown away by your knowledge, respect, appreciation, warmth and sincerity. Your interviews are in a different league to all others I’ve seen, thank you.
    68
  1342. Hey Rick, As for the low number of views for this vid - what could we POSSIBLY expect in this year of Covid, riots in the streets, politics and politicians fomenting racism, lies and hatred for each other? Maybe I'll even add those nasty effin Lanternflies. I, for one, think this was one of your greatest vids. To have a guy like you, who OBVIOUSLY knows his stuff and obviously loves the subject and can get WAY inside, teach it is fantastic. Sad commentaries on the state of our society abound. It's sad but, your video was a true educational and fun delight. THAT'S how you teach music.
    68
  1343. I swear Rick’s passion for music is just so infectious, I always find myself motivated to deconstruct whatever I’m playing after having watched his videos.
    68
  1344. I'm a musician, vocalist, and sound engineer in my own right, engaged in rock and rap projects, but my love for music expands beyond genre limits. I have a list of songs I sing just for myself, for the pleasure of it, and Kiss From A Rose is among my favorite go-to songs for that. There is no telling how many times I've listened to and sung along to it. It is a brilliant masterpiece by a great and humble man with immense creativity and a love for music. So I'm in no way surprised by Rick picking it and analyzing it with such an appreciation of the song, the artist's work, and production. But him so casually calling the man himself just to clarify some details just blew my mind. Rick, thank you, both you and Seal are amazing human beings, and he's totally right about you and your impact across generations of music fans - there are literally no words that could help me fully express the amount of respect I have for you and your work. From Russia with love.
    68
  1345. Man, this is utterly captivating. I've known and loved this album since I got it as an Xmas present in 1979, having been a fan since WYWH. Played Comfortably Numb thousands of times, and always have the same powerful emotional response to it. And now Rick's shared his joy, enthusiasm and knowledge, I'm weeping with joy, awe and admiration once again, And now I'm gonna listen to the album again. Thank you, Rick, from the bottom of my heart.
    68
  1346. Rick, this is one of the best interviews I've seen. I lead large teams in the construction of large and complex construction projects. The themes that Chuck touches on of the need for professionalism, to know your and everyone else's role, to make friends; these are applicable to so many professions. I'm requesting my teams watch this and learn from a master. Thank you so much for sharing this time with a very special person
    67
  1347. Nobody else could have done this interview in such an introspective, knowledgeable, and respectful way. I’ve been anxiously waiting for it, and it did not disappoint. Bravo, Rick! Just awesome.
    67
  1348. Listening to her talk, it's obvious how much of her is a part of you. You talk just like her. The pauses you take, the diversions you make, everything. I'm sorry for your loss, and I'm glad you shared this with us. Much strength to you <3
    67
  1349. I started watching this because it’s a Rick Beato interview and they’re always really good but, I was not expecting this to affect me as it has done. I’m half way through watching this and I can’t quite believe how emotional it’s making me. What an incredible conversation. This is Rick ‘coming of age’ as an interviewer, I could expand on what I mean by this but suffice to say this builds on his great body of work so far and adds a dimension which has taken me aback, truly superb work. Bravo.
    67
  1350. Rick, I can see why you feel it was kind of unreal. But consider this: you deserve every bit of the accolades from the L.A. fans. You teach people how to enjoy music at a deeper level. You enjoy music of many genres. You share your own passions with all of us. My point is that you should get used to events such as these will continue and accelerate. You speak your truth and so many of us enjoy listening to your content. The shear joy you have when presenting a WMTSG is passed on to every viewer. We all walk away with a renewed respect and enjoyment for the songs you cover even when they are old favorites of mine (they usually are). Get used to it. You're on the A list now! I am living your joy vicariously. I have been a Joni Mitchell fan since I first heard her songs on AM radio. She is a true innovator, and musical poet royalty. She writes and performs songs that leave me with days of enjoyment. I'll listen to it nice and clear on studio equipment, then for days the music and lyrics are resonating in my mind and soul. I replay them, experience them, contemplate them. How many artists have that impact? You're an A-lister now Rick. Well deserved. Some of the most interesting and enjoyable videos on youtube.
    66
  1351. The Sting interview was so epic, I knew this one would be and Pat confirms it with his opening acknowledgments; which I agree with 100 percent. This is the summa the best music interviewing ever. This is better than reading Rolling Stone articles back in the day.
    66
  1352. Rick, I don’t ever comment online. But this time I just wanted to say that this interview and video is supreme. Thank you for the great work you do 👊
    66
  1353. I fully grasp what you’re doing and the thought of getting to the point where I can visualize that many different chords and their inversions as arpeggios all the way up and down the fretboard is daunting to say the least. I need to start slowly peppering them in to the things I already play or there won’t be enough time in the rest of my life to get it together 😂. Thanks for the great lesson Rick!
    66
  1354. I took a lesson from Pedersen about 20 years ago while I studied music in Copenhagen, cool guy. Very very disciplined while practicing, very chill while talking is what I remember most.
    66
  1355. This brought tears to my eyes! You have MADE IT, Rick! I’m so happy for you & for all of us who love your content & Sting!!! It’s hard to believe you just sit there calmly & interview him. I would straight pass out! Congratulations!!!
    66
  1356. Man this guy tells stories almost as well as he plays bass. What an amazing interview.
    66
  1357. The joy Rick has in telling the story of the first time he played this song for an audience and laughing at the memory….that’s a life well lived. Fun to imagine it as he tells it :)
    66
  1358. Rick, I've never messaged here, but the time seems appropriate. You have impacted so many lives in such a positive way, all through the medium of music. I don't believe any of this is coincidence. Music is life and you are able to laugh, teach, enjoy and share that with a lot of people. You were a friend(gift) to Peter as you are to so many. I am grateful that I have the opportunity to be a part of this community. Thank you, sir.
    66
  1359. Wait … can Halsey’s complaining video count as her viral TikTok video? Is it creating buzz around the album? You gotta admire the ever increasing efficiency of the A&R people, who now go straight from signing an artist to stealing their money, with nothing in between to gum up the works.
    65
  1360. Hell yeah! I asked on his last "top 10" if he'd do the top 10 metal. Thanks Rick!
    65
  1361. Van Halen's "Push Comes To Shove" from their "Fair Warning" album. It's almost as if they were paying homage to the Rolling Stones during their "Some Girls" era and yet it's still, unmistakably, Van Halen.  Why is it great? Surprisingly, the bass line (and tone) is exceptional. The rhythm guitar part is typically great, but atypical for his style and guitar tone. The guitar solo is tastefully composed, with good phrasing and tone, and complements the song all without suffering from the "Hey, look at me!" thing. I love the sound of the tune and the record as a whole. It's dark and raw and the least radio friendly outing they ever released, but for the better.   Anyway, for me, it's their most perfect (unpopular) song ever... which will likely cause it to never be explored on "What Makes This Song Great?" but sometimes it's nice to be wrong.
    65
  1362. Interviewers need to take notes. Probably the best Maynard interview to date. Great job Rick for asking such great questions, that was a juicy interview.
    65
  1363. Can the 87 people who disliked this video please stand up and proceed quietly to the exit..........you f**king heathens. Incredible song, and incredible insight from Rick. If you ever decide to sit on a stage (rather than behind a camera) and do one of these, please come to the UK
    65
  1364. I've never met this guy, but I love him. And yes, my name is Jeff Beck.
    65
  1365. This is the densest guitar lesson anybody ever provided : so much in just 7 minutes, God bless you !
    65
  1366. Hello Rick, I am 51 and didn’t particularly like the halftime show… after listening to your video I gained a new perspective. I learned quite a bit. I sure miss rock bands in the Super Bowl.
    65
  1367. I had a little stroke when Youtube suggested this, cause there's almost no interviews out there of Brendan... my favorite producer by far. Such a huge inspiration as a producer myself. I'm grateful for this.
    65
  1368. Great analysis. I bought your book yesterday on Halloween. The guilt of receiving all your efforts for free was really eating at my conscience . You are a great resource for all things music.
    65
  1369. "It doesn't matter if people know what they're doing if they can just do it intuitively" is one of the most inspiring things I've ever heard.
    65
  1370. Rick, does this mark a new era of WMTSG? where the musician is present to talk about the recording? Let's hope so...
    65
  1371. A year ago, I would have watched a few minutes then get frustrated that I did not understand what RB is doing. But the purchase of the Beato Book has opened my theory vocabulary immensely to really appreciate this video lesson - Dominant 7
    64
  1372. I usually view my YouTube stuff on an iPad or phone - disposable entertainment or info. But these interviews not so. I grab a drink and bring it up on the big tv and settle in. These are serious entertainment and education. I can’t believe I sat rapt for a good 90-some minutes watching two men discuss film scoring and music. Most excellent work, sir.
    64
  1373. Ahhhhh Smart Rick! you got me. I saw "top ten alternavite pop rock charts" and honestly didn't feel like checking it, but then you changed the title of the video to "What kind of music is this?" with the tumbnail "a lost genre?" and you got my interest and ended checking up the video I didn't feel like doing a few hours before.
    64
  1374. "Unless I'm straightening my guitars or something ..." looks at guitars in background all lined up
    64
  1375. I never thought I'd get excited watching a video about jazz while a guy is playing air drums. While I am untrained musically (another reason I love your videos, learning!), I think I've always listened to music this way, not knowing what I was hearing, just that it was amazing.
    64
  1376. Ran into Rick at Mixing with the Masters (NAMM) but could only briefly say hello since Eddie Kramer was dispensing wisdom. Rick is so helpful to the mixing and production community. Thanks for this video.
    64
  1377. I honestly think this is the best YouTube video I've ever seen. That's not hyperbole, that's just how blown away I was. I remember listening to this on headphones when I was a teenager. No song before or since sounds anything like it. I couldn't even guess how many times I've heard it, and I cannot change tracks or stations if I happen across it. The drum fill after "So you think you can stop me and spit in my eye" is epic. It was so cool to hear from Dr May about the studio experience. That he was generous enough to lend his time to this speaks volumes about him. Good luck topping this one, Rick!
    64
  1378. I've been listening to John play for decades and this is the first time I've heard him speak at length. He is humourous, honest and humble. His stories are fascinating. I could easily sit through 10 hours of listening to him speak. And as usual, Rick is beyond brilliant with the questions he asks and his knowledge of his subject and contemporaries. Rick has a natural and seemingly effortless way to make these interviews flow so beautifully and the resulting interviews are pure magic. Thank you Rick Beato.
    63
  1379. What a joy to watch. Rick Beato is the ultimate interviewer of musicians. Andy Summers and the Police are a gift to the music world.
    63
  1380. I was living in Morocco and there was no youtube and no CD's at the time, and there was a videocassette of Sir Eric Johnson circulating between my music friends. I was flabbergasted and still remember to this day how baffled I was and wondering how could such dreamy beautiful sounds come out of a guitar ! It really shaped my musician identity. So grateful for this 🙏
    63
  1381. Thank you, Rick. It is really rare, if ever achieved by an interviewer, to get onto a level with Maynard. There was almost no rejecting, ridiculing, burying in sarcarm or whatsoever by him. Instead, this became an intimate and genuine interview. That's an achievement I am really grateful for.
    63
  1382. There is nobody else on the internet that I love as much as Rick Beato! He mobilesed an inside of the whole music like nobody else before! The world of music is so grateful to this man! Thank you Rick!
    63
  1383. I can only imagine all the questions you'd like to have asked as a fan of MJK Rick, but you as a professional and cool interviewer had the discipline to keep it as you did. Thank you for all you do for music appreciation.
    63
  1384. You probably don't remember me. . .but I remember U! I was skeptical at first. . .I came to your first seminar. . .(4 Summers ago in Decatur). thinking "Is this guy for real?" You're wife showed up in the middle of the seminar With your kids Dylan et al. . .and you began to cry (slightly) when they all showed up to support you. You asked them something about a pixar movie thing. . one of the children (maybe Dylan) was spot on with the correct response~I thought to myself. . .This is a good man. . .This is a good dad. . .This guys' the real deal!" Thanx Rick! I will always follow you! You are true!
    63
  1385. Your interviews are so obviously conducted with so much respect and knowledge, from one musician to another. Thank you to both of you.
    63
  1386. When they blow up a Laney recreating the Iommi tone, that’s a job well done!
    63
  1387. I like this setup with the interview at a table in your studio
    63
  1388. Jack Endino has such a phenomenal speaking voice. I could listen to that guy read the phone book.
    63
  1389. Rick, you're not only an amazing musician, you're a teacher, producer, and one of the most friendliest persons! As a musician and teacher, you’re someone i strive to be like. Not just a metal dude, but a musician. Someone who understands all aspects of music. Keep it up dude! hope to meet you sometime!
    62
  1390. Guess this song gets your Seal of approval? Tip your waitresses, folks.
    62
  1391. I love how Dominic thought he’d already blown the audition. That’s such a liberating feeling because if you feel like you have nothing to lose, the ego dies and you actually play much better. Probably helped him land the gig. I hope Sting calls me if the guitar chair ever opens up! Lol
    62
  1392. I just love how much this dude loves music, man. It's infectious. I had a terrible day at work... but this? This was twenty minutes of feel good pick-me-up.
    62
  1393. Rick, the way you explain the WMTSG songs make me enthusiastic about music I passed over when it came out because "I wasn't into "grunge" or what ever. I've gone back to listen to music after watching your videos, music that I thought I was too hip to listen to. Thanks, Rick. You are opening the ears of the world to new experiences.
    62
  1394. This has to be one of the most moving and emotionally inspiring YouTube videos you could ever hope to watch. It just makes you want to go out and climb a mountain, because that's what mountains are for. Rick Beato's musical genius, and skills as a brilliant educator, are only eclipsed by the humanity which shines through in ways that just makes you want to shake his hand and give him a bear hug. What musicians need today more than anything, is not only the best tools possible for self-directed study, but also the inspiration to become more instrumentally proficient and less superficial. And also, the inspiration to become better human beings and less superficial in that department as well. 40 years ago, I had a guitar lesson with Tommy Emmanuel and it changed my outlook on music, guitar playing and life. And there are a few other people who have had that influence on me over the years. And for similar reasons, I can say that people striving to become better musicians will benefit from this YouTube channel. Rick Beato, I salute you.
    62
  1395. I am SO glad your channel showed up as something I would 'like'. Like?! I freaking LOVE YOU. You are so authentic with your explanations of things. While I don't agree 100% with all your 'top 20's' of certain things, you make valid points on why you chose who you did, and welcome comments why anyone disagrees. I definitely agree with the majority and you make me think of someone I would have not thought of. Well done and keep it up!
    62
  1396. Hey Rick, during Covid-19 my small business went belly up for obvious reasons. I was compelled to start a Youtube channel and to my shock a few of my videos gained some traction and I got monetized in less than 3 months. I was overwhelmed and still am at the small surge of female subscribers to my channel. Like you ,I wanted to help anyone who was willing to listen. I pushed on and do so in a way that I wasn't prepared for the lessons that my very small audience taught me. It's hard to put into words how complete strangers, some I've never met can impact our lives in ways we never dreamed of. I am a different man because of the small group of diverse women who listened and followed my candid and honest feedback. Its clear to me that your friend Peter Smart impacted you in a way that as helped you become a better man and better person. People are put in our lives for a reason, just like my audience. You were supposed to know Peter and share your love and passion for music together. Your channel is a testament to what smart, caring, passionate and loving people do when they are compelled to share their "gifts" and you my friend have a wonderful gift of music. I also subscribed to you long before you reached a million subs and although I have never met you, I am grateful for your willingness to share your knowledge and love for music. You have opened my eyes to things about music I never thought about before listening to your channel...THANK YOU. You will meet many more people like Peter along your journey and as your channel grows. Caring and embracing people, ANYONE is also a gift I believe you poses and it comes from a kind and loving place which confirms for me just how real and selfless you are. I'm grateful. Keep smiling, RM
    62
  1397. I find myself emotionally applauding your tribute and friendship. It goes to prove that people have amazing stories and that effort to be kind can lead to fond friendships with lasting memories. I truly appreciate your honoring Peters influence on your life and condolences to his family, friends and you, Rick. I’m thankful you’ve shared your experience with such a lovely soul by sharing your heart with us. You may not know it or feel it, but your generosity, heartfelt honesty and musical skill has been extremely influential to many thousands of us and with your kind words, we, are grateful... even if you never know our name. I personally thank you, my friend!
    61
  1398. It kind of brought a tear to my eye when Joe was talking about being inspired. I would like to say thank you for your show and an excellent guest and interview. So thanks Rick and Joe, for your work and inspiring me in my own playing.
    61
  1399. Thank you, Rick Beato, for being honest and telling your story. Artists are always honest.
    61
  1400. Unbelievable interview!!! Nobody can interview a musician like Rick Beato! Howard Stern does a darn good job but when it comes to music and the process of creating music your interviews are magic. Thank you so much for bringing us these insightful interviews. Thank you not only for the entertainment but for the education you provide. By the way this interview made me even more of a fan of Billy Corgan. Love seeing someone who cares so much about their craft. He’s a true artist.
    61
  1401. Your fault, Rick. I've just had to order Mezcal Head, 99th Dream and I Wasn't Born to Lose You. Thank you!
    61
  1402. Just today we were talking about a phenomenon that is being promoted by the culture of "shorts": The ability that is being lost to maintain attention for "prolonged" periods of time without seeking other stimuli, such as writing a comment. And yes, I waited until the end of the video to send this :cat-orange-whistling:
    61
  1403. I’m an actively licensed CPA in Minnesota, but focus on the audit side of the profession. I totally appreciate Rick making this episode. It will probably be the least watched one of all of his, but probably the most informational for a lot of people. I really appreciate these CPA firms that specialize in musicians, and they’re actually musicians themselves. They would be the first ones that I would go to if I needed accounting advice, as they intimately understand the business itself. And for what it’s worth, these two guys have the best personalities I’ve ever seen of any CPAs.
    60
  1404. Unbelievable. I wouldn't even have imagined that interviewing Keith Jarrett at this point in time would be possible... for anyone. This is a triumph for Rick, Keith, and American music in general. I always wondered what would happen if an introspective, extremely competent musician took up music journalism. Well, here you go. New levels of access to truly important artists and massively valuable results.
    60
  1405. Rick, you’ve become a national treasure. Your interviews, your insight, your knowledge, your personality, your respectful demeanor towards the musicians and their music is absolutely wonderful to watch. Thank you for the work you’ve poured into your channel, and thank you for this outstanding interview with Billy. I especially enjoyed the My Bloody Valentine/Kevin Sields/shoegaze talk and how Billy wove MBV into his own musical tapestry. If you’re ever looking for ideas, I’d love to hear interviews with Daniel Lanois and Brad Laner(of the band Medicine), and maybe some exploration of Chris Whitley’s music. Cheers! And thank you again for your exemplary content.
    60
  1406. My daughter is in a high school music program and I don't know anything about music. Today I shared your video with her and we connected over music for the first time. Thank you Rick!
    60
  1407. After watching this video of you telling yet another captivating, personal music-based story, I felt compelled to leave this comment. Anyway, it may seem as though I'm kissing up to you (I'm not) when I say this... but, I for one, am extremely thankful to you for sharing 'behind-the-scenes music stories', such as this one about the band, 'I Nine' (BTW, my comment here isn't really about this particular story). It's funny - I've been an avid watcher of your channel since about 2 years ago... & just when I think you've told us pretty much all of the great stories/memorable moments of the past 30+ years of your life, you manage to surprise us w/this incredible story. You crafty, rascal you. : ) Anyway, I always appreciate your honest delivery as you tell these unique stories that we would likely never know if it weren't for your willingness to share them (well, & we also thank YouTube too - of course). You're channel is in my top 5 channels on YouTube. -- thanks for all you do, brother! TL;DR
    60
  1408. I couldn't even hear the noise. This was one of my fave vids because of the way it was laid out and explained. My wife was watching with me and she was telling me to make sure I "liked" the video.
    60
  1409. Rick, I’ve listened to every one of your interviews and they are an incredible gift. But this is one of my absolute favorites. There’s some deep sh!t in this one.. I never even knew this guy, and he’s so interesting and thoughtful. Thank you so much
    60
  1410. I have the Billionaire CD in the shelf man! Takes me back.
    60
  1411. A great new entry in to the encyclopedia of musicians that Rick is building for posterity! I could easily listen to another two hours of insight in to Kirk's 40+ year career. Thank you, Rick and team, for making this possible!
    60
  1412. I love that you're using your platform to promote great music to your audience!
    60
  1413. I never liked jazz, but this video is making me change my mind
    59
  1414. Derek is such a solid guy. I truly appreciate getting to know this about him. The music was always up there; Now it has more value to me. Awesome interview Rick. You help make people shine.
    59
  1415. LOVE seeing and hearing my friends Rick and Pat playing and not ribbing each other for 8 minutes! I believe Paul uses the back of his index finger for the offbeats on Blackbird. A weird technique (kind of strumming a single string) but contributes to the uniqueness.
    59
  1416. 90 percent of the reason I watch these is to watch Rick groove out
    59
  1417. One of the finest interviews I have ever seen. Ron is a legend and such a fine story teller of Jazz history. Thank you Ron for sharing your vast musical journey with us and thank you Rick for bringing this to your viewers. Awesome!
    59
  1418. I'm not aware of anyone who asks great musicians such informed, deep, insightful questions the way you do Rick. I can't tell you how much I appreciate your interview series. Thank you!!!
    59
  1419. The transformation from regular garage space to world class studio completely boggles my mind. I can’t even begin to imagine all the work that went into that 🤯
    59
  1420. At about 6:30 of the video, when Rick says : "I have never played that sound before." Those are the moments one is after as a musician.
    59
  1421. 1970 to 1975 was officially the Singer Songwriter era. "Suite to Judy Blue Eyes" could be on the list too.
    59
  1422. Rick Beato -> the king of content 👑 I learned so much from you!!!! Thanks 👍👍👍
    59
  1423. "The everyday stuff will make you sick if you let it." Really needed that today thanks. So very sorry for your family's loss. "Don't be afraid to bark" ... carrying that one with me.
    58
  1424. There again, another interview from Rick where you get to see the most musically erudite fan asking our heroes all things we hadn't realised we wanted to know, and getting a whole map of the artist's world. Christopher, same as Metheny and Scofield, comes across as a terribly humble person, an outstanding musician, quite the gear geek, and a remnant of a bygone era which was is so many ways better than today. Subbing for Ritchie Blackmore, getting an amp by recommendation of Jimmy Page, having a tape of Frank Zappa covering your song sent to your place by Zappa himself... WHAT A NETWORK and what a bag of anecdotes! THIS IS CONTENT.
    58
  1425. We are all with you, Rick: we love you and your contribution to the music world and our good thoughts are with you always, brother!!!
    58
  1426. I believe your secret is not being an amazing musician or a good communicator. I believe that your calling is to share your knowledge and do it in a way that catches the attention of everyone, from just a curious viewer, to music beginners, intermediate and pros. We are lucky to have such information available like this. Thank you Rick.
    58
  1427. Thank you Rick for sharing this with all of us. I was spellbound. He is so comfortable with you in the interview. As a physician and musician I am in awe of him and how he can just pick up and play off the top Desafinado, voice leading and improvising with his right hand. He is truly a legend and the greatest living jazz pianist.
    58
  1428. Well done. This is from a 64 year old former touring guitarist, who still plays every day. But the point here is your kindness and generosity toward those of us all who watch and appreciate your you, your channel of course, but you. Your a good man, you moved me with this eulogy of your friend who i wish I could have met now too. Life is short, its precious, and you made one middle age guy today appreciate it, and you a little bit more. Thank you, and keep it up Denny.
    58
  1429. Very thankful for you, Rick, you're the only cat paying tribute to these legends in long form, keep up the exceptional work!
    58
  1430. That’s the best video I’ve ever seen. Metal head at heart here, but I went to another place with Rick. You get animated like I do when hearing music. Thank you Rick for all you do
    58
  1431. Long time listener, first time commenter here. Rick, this podcast blew my mind. A great guest, your conversation with whom was so engaging, so informative, so insightful, I was rapt from minute one. Thank you bringing high value content back to the Internet. Please let this be the first of many more podcasts to come!
    58
  1432. This series is the best on YouTube, bar none. Boston’s Hitch a Ride was my favorite episode up until now. Rick, you have outdone yourself once again. You can’t go wrong with Pink Floyd. I would recommend Shine on you Crazy Diamond next, but it would take 2 or 3 glorious hours! Please please please!
    58
  1433. I always find it strange how some of my local bands (Oxford) are well know worldwide Radiohead, Ride, Swervedriver, Supergrass, Nik Turner, Hurricane no 1.
    58
  1434. Rick, you are great at getting these cats to open up in a way that no one else can. A lot of it is because everyone knows what a knowledgeable and gifted musician you are yourself. They know you get it. That was amazing.
    57
  1435. Rick you're great. What you are doing here with your YT channel is going to have an invaluable impact as an archive for music enthusiasts an audiophiles all over the world!
    57
  1436. Rick, this is by far one of my favorite interviews. You guys nailed it. You ask the questions that some interviewers wouldn't even go near. But there is a comfort level that musicians have with you, like speaking to a brother. Well done.
    57
  1437. There is a depth to you as an artist, a musical thinker, and, in sum, a human being that I find exceedingly rare, Rick. This beautiful tribute went all the way to the marrow. My heartfelt condolences on your loss—I have wrestled with profound depression and losses, and I know that music is a path that can get us through. Your solo is the icing on the cake here: few people blend intelligence, inspiration, and love as genuinely as you do, and I’m proud to have you in my life and to be learning from you.
    57
  1438.  @autaiutsav803  you’re not getting the point...I love Nirvana; this has nothing to do with Nirvana or Nirvana’s music. Rick is simply saying that Billie Eilish is occupying a similar place in the minds of people of her generation. And the guy who first made the statement was IN NIRVANA.
    57
  1439. More and more, I am impressed by Rick's interviewing skill, his natural curiosity, and his ability to make these natural conversations yield so much insight for us, the viewer. A lot of interviewers/journalists are so preoccupied with their "brand" or their own stardom, that most interviews don't reach a level of truth and insight. Rick's videos, beyond being interesting to us, are destined to be valuable oral histories and cultural artifacts.
    57
  1440. Tons of interviewers on YT but Rick has the formula nailed. Asked poignant questions and let the artist take the conversation to its natural conclusion: the music itself. Thank you, Rick, for sharing these moments with us!

  1441. My goodness dude, I can't begin to fathom the logistics behind setting up interviews with legendary rock monoliths, let alone, having musicians that are known to be recluse to discuss music and life on camera... that is incredible man, truly good job and I am so happy you get to enjoy the fruits of your labor with this channel!
    57
  1442. Rick, I am generally a classical composer/musician. But I am so gratified to hear your simpatico for Joni is identical to mine! In your ep 91 about Amelia you can see clearly the shivers going up and down your spine at the precise moments mine do, you exhale hard with a hearty Oh! while shaking your head in disbelief of the stunning beauty we are hearing exactly in sync with mine! Yes, she has been my idol since the sixties, for her lyrics, her voice, and her compositions. I even was at the 1979 concert with Larry and Pat behind her, and as if I needed any further prodding, I fell completely in love. For all these years, my quiet time often consisted of listening to Joni in my earbuds at work or wherever, especially when I lost special people through death or break-ups. So she's more than a poet, painter, songwriter, or generational icon - she's been my counselor and therapist, too. I am quite sure you know what I mean, and feel the same way. I just retired from the film biz in Hollywood, but remember how last year my dolly grip came to me from another soundstage and bragged about how he met Joni over on stage 24. He knew I would light up with envy. He'd actually seen her the day before, and said she was just so cool, so warm. Well, I've missed my chance may times now, and being retired I see no way it could ever happen, so I took great and gleeful delight in hearing your fabulous story of your special night with our goddess. Thank you so much for sharing. Your benign and ebullient sincerity about meeting her is so beautiful and makes me like you all the more, Brother. Since it couldn't be me, I am glad it was you!
    57
  1443. I consistently can't believe who Rick gets on the show. Without embellishment or exaggeration, I feel like rick's channel might be as important to music history as any of the individual players that he interviews, even the greatest ones.
    56
  1444. You missed out the two other contractual obligation albums, Quittin' and Splittin'.
    56
  1445. Damn it makes you proud to be a Brit when you think how many great musicians have come from these shore 🇬🇧
    56
  1446. The reasons these interviews are head and shoulders above the rest is because Rick is a great musician in his own right and knows how to ask interesting questions about the craft. Musicians and composers always get interviewed by people who generally don't know anything about music, so the interviews remains superficial. Please keep doing this forever Rick! You're creating an invaluable goldmine of information and inspiration for future generations.
    56
  1447. This is the episode i knew i wanted that i never knew that i wanted that i want.
    56
  1448. That's amazing Rick. I've known Dan and his family for 30 some years and have heard some of those stories before. Glad you got to share a bit with the world! It was adorable seeing his discomfort as you played his hits back to him. ;) It's all about the work for that man. How long did you guys talk? I mean 3 hours of amazing stuff? We want to see the edits!
    56
  1449. Do not quit Rick - I'm a musician in New Orleans and every musician I have talked to knows and LIKES you and I'm sure it's true in every city. Your videos provide value worth my time - they have good information and I especially love the "behind the scenes" stories.
    56
  1450. Thanks for the encouragement Rick, I am grateful for your support and this great channel! It is very humbling to be mentioned alongside such players, particularly Stephen who is a favorite of mine. I think many in the comments need to dig a little deeper before people are pigeonholed as "shredders" from a couple of clips. I play quite minimalistically on piano and favor transcribing/playing Bach on guitar ahead of learning solos. I hope the symmetrical diminished flogging doesn't dissuade anyone from taking the chance to watch/connect because I am always happy to meet new players and have a lot of respect for our community as a whole.
    56
  1451. For all intents and purposes, I don't know anything about music, but I grew up as part of a large family and in a household filled with a huge variety of music all the time. As some others have said, I have been lurking here for quite a while as well. I can only speak to what drew me into your channel Rick, the first things being how comfortable you are with yourself and being so open in front of a camera. Those things strike an immediate genuineness, and this is what will pull me in every time, no matter what the subject matter happens to be! Our world and the internet are full of fake put-on's, and I find my tolerance for anything resembling those attributes to be getting shorter and shorter as I age. Thank you for keeping it real, and thank you for sharing your obvious musical expertise with all of us!
    56
  1452. Never heard these guys before. First line was like wtf? By the end I was totally getting it. Perfect rendition of EDM, but on instruments. Insane that they can sound so much like machines. That hi hat! Didn’t know that was possible! Love it!
    56
  1453. Can we take a moment to appreciate Rick’s hair
    56
  1454. I have something crazy to where my right ear hears an octave (or half) higher than my left. When I'm not wearing headphones, my left ear dominates and hears notes as they should be... but when I put headphones on, my right ear dominates and everything sounds a bit off to me. It's extremely tricky to record vocals cause I can only hear the track through my left ear to make sure I'm singing in the correct key. I thought something was wrong with my interface at first and then I realized it was me. Really depressed me for a while til I learned to live with it. Oh, and I also have tinnitus haha. The ringing comes and goes very infrequently so it's all good. I just think I've had too many loud jam sessions when I was young and my hearing is all screwed up.
    56
  1455. Rick B: There are only a handful of people in the world that are accomplished in the entire spectrum of music (player, producer, equipment knowledge, etc.), and you're one of them. Thank you for sharing your amazing gift.
    56
  1456. I believe you’re right Rick it truly is a music appreciation channel. I know plenty of people who aren’t musicians or really even know how to play music, but they are drawn to you. Glad you love doing it and it’s still working for you!
    55
  1457. Sat listening with a beer in lockdown feeling like I’ve just met an interesting new mate in the pub
    55
  1458. This is a perfect episode. It's the reason why I'm here.
    55
  1459. Dude, I just cried about a woman I never met.I think I will call my mom now. you have also earned a well deserved S U B S C R I B E
    55
  1460. Love The Who. Can I request a WMTSG? For “Hold Your Head Up” by Argent?
    55
  1461. Mr Beato, your channel is so refreshing. I’m a musician myself (self taught). since I started playing guitar and playing in bands back in late 90’s my goal was to make a living as a musician. I’m almost 40, I haven’t “made it” yet, I almost did few years back, but didn’t. Sometimes I feel like giving up and have a normal life (no band life just work and family), but I can’t. I might never be in the top 40 by the looks of it but my love for music, writing it, playing it is too much. Today I was feeling down and watching your video and listening to you refreshed my heart. Thank you for your channel, thank you for time to us. This is paid content everywhere else. Thanks.
    55
  1462. I feel vindicated! I'm fine with playing with a click track in a church setting, with praise and worship music. But let me get funky when I play in a dance club! Nicely done, Rick. I'll be sharing this with my musician friends.
    55
  1463. It's as if the music-industry all watched Rick's last review.
    55
  1464. Seeing these guys really connect is so touching. Tom tearing up and Rick resonating with that point about leaving a record for their kids is one of those magical moments that make me grateful for platforms like this. We owe these fellas so much - they're not just sharing musical wisdom, but life lessons.
    54
  1465. One thing I like about Rick is that there aren't too many popular YouTubers in his age group. I really feel everybody needs a mentor, but today more than ever it is harder to get people socializing. Rick is a kind of asynchronous mentor in that way. For example, I too grapple with this idea of things passing me by. There are so many goals I have set for myself. I'm at the early stages of beginning to cope with that, learning to focus on one thing rather than too many. Confucius said, "The person who chases two rabbits, catches neither." I appreciate that some YT creators try to bring passion and wisdom (they make art for themselves) rather than making click-bait to serve the algorithm until they burn out. One seems to be fulfilling, while the other can be soul-destroying.
    54
  1466. Rick - I think this is one of the finest tributes I have ever seen. Thanks for sharing the story of Aunt Penny. What a tremendous loss. I know all too well about loss as my beautiful wife lost her battle with cancer in the fall of 2014. Until you lose someone you love I don't think it is possible to know what real loss is all about. You are so fortunate to have had Aunt Penny's influence but even more important to have had her love. Thank you for all you do for music. Aunt Penny will live in your heart forever and now also in the hearts of many of us who have watched this video.
    54
  1467. “Sometimes you don’t know that you’re changing careers.” - words of wisdom 👍
    54
  1468. Rick is one of THE BEST interviewers going. Ask a question and let them go. I didn't want it end. Skunk is a guy you want to listen to as much as possible. Guitars, playing, recording, inventing, whatever, he's a precious resource.
    54
  1469. Beato featuring anything off of Joni’s album Hejira?!?!?! ? I’m dropping all other things I have goin’ on! Straight to the video!
    54
  1470. watched it all — understood only half of it — enjoyed it twice as much. this interview is an ode to music
    54
  1471. I might be inebriated (it's one of those days), but I can't believe how mind boggling this video is for analysis, exposition, and sheer presence it is. Gee... THANK YOU, Mr Beato. 🙇‍♂️ Respect
    54
  1472. I think its fair to say that Townshend wrote the song in Daltrey's wheelhouse & that is probably an overlooked aspect of Townshends compositional abilities- he made his bandmates sound the best they ever could... he'd probably call that a bargain I know I would!
    54
  1473. No Rick ! The Y2K didn’t happen “of course” because people like me - computer engineer - worked our arses off pretty much 24/7 leading up to the end of 1999 to fix all the computer problems and it worked. There were few issues because of the work we did !,,
    54
  1474. Your passion and enthusiasm for all styles of music is undeniably infectious. Your knowledge about music is without bounds. If only there were more people within the music industry like you
    54
  1475. Just finished viewing this interview... as many others made by Rick, i find myself with nothing but gratitude and respect, for someone who is on a mission, yes, you read this right RICK BEATO IS ON A MUSIC RESCUE MISSION, he ist showing all of us (past, present and future generations) that what it is not to be teached in music classes, but learned on the process when you take music seriously. Mr. BEATO: your legacy on this channel and your courses will endure beyond our lifetimes, the copyright fights, the struggle to make people sometimes understand "the beauty of the simple" and "the fun of complicated", are just a few of the many reasons for my personal admiration, once again: THANK YOU Billy Corgan is one of my Heros, his music, as for many, shaped and influenced me for decades, i hoped for this interview, and enjoyed with great pleasure. Thank you. Destiny has a plan but i dont know it, i hope she will allow me to meet you one of this days. Lets see what happens... in the meantime i will be doing that "out of hell ear training" of yours... Till next time, keep on rocking!!!
    54
  1476. I played this album RELENTLESSLY when it came out. I didn't realize HOW relentlessly until 30 years later when an old friend of mine and I crossed paths, and they told me, "...yeah, you're the one who was always talking about Pink Floyd's "The Wall" album!". 😁
    53
  1477. This is not a rant. This is a well-articulated takedown of malinformed (if not ill-intentioned) clickbait *sigh* "news". Thanks Rick and keep being awesome.
    53
  1478. I honestly can't imagine any musician not watching this channel. Thank you, Rick.
    53
  1479. What an amazing interview. I'm 53 and practically reduced to tears. I should write an essay on Henry James and revise my students' works (I'm a literary critic and teacher), I have deadlines (end of May), I should concentrate on literature and cherish every minute (after 50 you cannot not to). Instead, I'm listening to this conversation of two great people. From time to time I'm thinking: well, shouldn't I go back to my work? No way, says my Daimonion. But what a conversation. Greetings from Poland. You have so many fans here, Mr Lanois... As to Mr Beato - well, the best interiewer I've listened to, no doubts about it.
    53
  1480. Rick, you are music's National Treasure!! Thank you so much for your subtle intelligence, professional musicianship infused, and vastly entertaining interviews with the music legends of our time. Each one conveys a fascinating journey into the creative process with candor and humor. It is quite obvious that within a few questions your guests relax and free associate their experiences and their craft with enthusiasm and depth because this is not a typical 'Top 40' fandom interview. It is skillfully conducted by someone who knows the artform, knows the business, and appreciates the history of music in all its forms. You should be in the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame on this merit alone. Congratulations!!
    53
  1481. I think we love your videos because we see someone displaying a deep passion and love for something, while also showing an incredible aptitude. It's the best of what it is to be human. Thank you Rick.
    53
  1482. Rick, the success of your channel is EVERYTHING MUSIC! Your heart and passion for music of every genre crosses all kinds of boundaries. People are drawn to music, and your honest passion for everything music is the winning recipe. I so appreciate your approach and commitment to music and educating others in it! Keep rolling Rick!
    53
  1483. Many have said it already and many more surely will, to follow, but I’m going to say it anyway. THIS interview should be taught as the gold standard for selecting music journalists, and as the platinum standard for music journalists to prepare themselves for an interview. Incredible work, Rick. You continue to amaze and inspire me. 👏👏👏
    53
  1484. I'm sure Rick drinks Dos Equis beer because he is The Most Interesting Man In The World. GREAT video. Kevin O'Rourke
    53
  1485. Just finished 6 rounds of chemo. Played this song to open my chemo session each time. Also, was a freshman in college '79-'80. Roger wrote the lyrics after getting an infusion of fluids and a sedative before a show in Philly.
    53
  1486. I'm the same age as she is and my wife is from the small city where Joni started playing. I was familiar with her but not a big fan and we've never met. But, here we are, 55 years later and I have to say I'm finally starting to realize her genius. Better late than never.
    52
  1487. I love your passion for beautiful and excellent musicality regardless the genre. I’m so happy I stumbled across your channel. I’m not a musician but your videos serve to improve my appreciation of the art of musicians.
    52
  1488. Guess the 3 million subscriber goal thing was legit.
    52
  1489. Rick you've outdone yourself yet again, seeing the enthusiasm the two of you have for music is beyond inspiring, I'm reaching for my guitar now :)
    52
  1490. Being a fellow boomer and frequenting the arcades, one significant difference is that we actually had to go somewhere else to play video games, which of course means that when we weren't at the arcade we were "forced" to explore other interests, i.e., music. Now, theoretically, a person can play video 24/7 from anywhere, hence, having far less time down-time gaps to explore other interests.
    52
  1491. Why wasn't that solo included in your TOP 20 GUITAR SOLO OUTROS OF ALL TIME? Shoulda been. I could loop that all day.
    52
  1492. This video perfectly everything I love about your channel, Rick. Please never stop, educational, inspiring, enjoyable and entertaining. I’m a far better musician for watching your channel, and a motivation to be even better. On behalf of everyone, thank you.
    52
  1493. Thank you for bringing "REAL" music not "manufactured" to us.... This is simply the best human music and gives me a wake-up call... Thank you again for your effort and kind explanation...
    52
  1494. I love this, i am not a singer, i cant play instrument WHAT so ever.. but i cant stay away from these videos Rick makes. So nice studio, feels so warm and full of respect to music and history. All his guests are nice people, he teaches us stuff for free and we can just sit back and relax and tag along. Greetings from Sweden.
    52
  1495. Rick, you have and recognize both taste and style, and an incredible articulate nature that keeps me supporting you and your channel. Thank you.
    52
  1496. Mr. Metheny is one of the best musicians ever, across genres and instruments. And interviewing your personal hero must have felt incredible!! I'm happy for you. :)
    51
  1497. Mr. Lanois talked sbout preparing the studio for Neal Young. As an interviewer Rick is just fantastically thoughtful and skilled. The interviewee can tell Rick has given thought to the encounter and the results show. These sessions should be preserved in the Library of Congress.
    51
  1498. Everyone has said it already, but now it is my turn. You are a brilliant interviewer. Rick Wakeman was a great choice. I am a 70 year old Brit and got all his references from place names to band names and their music. Loved the anecdotes. Saw him with Yes during the Tales From Topographic Oceans tour. A difficult venue in Edinburgh meant a much later start than advertised. Was so tired the next day but managed to sit an early morning University exam without falling asleep or singing out loud.
    51
  1499. Next time Rick does a top 10 death metal songs list, he's going to think pretty hard about where to squeeze in a Joni Mitchell track
    51
  1500. Great interview, and thank you for that homage to EVH, hearing how Mateus reacted to 'the news' and then hearing EVH ripping Eruption off in one take, got me emotional too.
    51
  1501. Rick, It’s amazing watching how quick you listen to something and play it right away. It’s also amazing that you know so much, from metal, to jazz, to pop, to rock, and you are up to date. Pretty amazing. I think this is one of the reason you are so good, you listen and play so many different genre. Some people only listen and play one genre, but to become better and better it’s good to play different things.
    51
  1502. Wow, loved, LOVED the intimacy of this conversation. Kudos to you, Rick for being such a knowledgeable, insightful, and enjoyable interviewer. Loved the reciprocal respect Al has for you too! Al still looks like he's 50 yrs old and sports a trio look of Robert Downey, Jr., Eric Clapton, and Kurt Elling. His mastery of his picking was mind boggling and the tarantula scaling seemed quite improvisational. Fascinating human. My first album that brought me into his world was during H.S. and it was Electric Rendezvous. Man, I wish my kitchen looked just like his, so warm and cozy.
    51
  1503. Rick, it’s understood to earn a PhD in any field requires one to make a unique and additive contribution to the existing body of knowledge and insight. I think it’s very fair to say this applies similarly to being invited to receive a signature series guitar by a top-tier guitar company. Through your various channels, your commitment to music education and your incredible enthusiasm to highlighting iconic music - new and old - you have earned something truly unique and I am in no way surprised. Congratulations on your achievement! 🤩🥳
    51
  1504. Thank you, Rick. As a musician with a learning disability this means more than you can know.
    51
  1505. Good God. This is the type of interview you watch over again and again for the rest of your life along with all your beloved albums, bootlegs etc. Not to mention it is now part of the greater historic record. Not sure I can adequately express how huge this is. Just, thank you.
    51
  1506. Each of those groups, in their own way, introduced their audience to something new and different from other groups. Most of it was the unique song writing as well as the arrangement of the songs and the unique voices that sang them. Very distinct productions!
    51
  1507. You just leave this interview smarter and better as a person. As a public school Band teacher, I so appreciate Mr. Mehldau's explanation of how he approaches "practice", and his desire to become better as a person through it. He also has the most relaxing, inviting voice I've ever heard, lol! He somehow is able to come across as incredibly intelligent, without being pretentious, because making and discussing music doesn't seem to be about his ego.
    50
  1508. These interviews are Smithsonian worthy. Thank you Bernard Purdie, Rick and all the artists who gave their time and energy to document such a vast array of musical knowledge.
    50
  1509. read a great book on this earlier this year, The Talent Code
    50
  1510. Rick talks about great production. Plays chords on Les Paul through Marshall, sounds a 1000x better.
    50
  1511. Rick you are probably one of the top three interviewers of all time. This David Gilmour interview was simply amazing. Thank you.
    50
  1512. I just downloaded the Bach record and "Love is Covered in Dust." What a revelation. His songs are more like tone poems--and can you ever hear the Bach in them after you listen to his Bach interpretations. It's a crime he's not better known. Let's hope this video helps...
    50
  1513. Rick, The both of you really enjoyed that! Your honor, respect and knowledge of Keith’s brilliance really shines. He deserves this and you pulled it off with genuine and effortless ease. To me, this is a high watermark for your incredible talents. Thank you for rising to this level of challenge. Not sure Keith would sit down with just anybody. Not only were you rewarded with is this marvelous opportunity, you really did him proud. Great big hug to you, brother. Anyone that witnesses this interview will feel the depth of it in their hearts. Incredible piece of work - Salute.
    50
  1514. So I am recovering from surgery and I was in quite a bit of pain. For 12 minutes I forgot about that. And I am still buzzing from this. One of the coolest things I’ve seen on your channel. Much better than drugs. Thank you!
    50
  1515. Love how he slips in the little education about Bach in there.
    50
  1516. My two cents Rick, I have the same background as you do, studied jazz at university, make a living with rock ! haha. It took me a while to shift my attention to Pass, Montgomery, Sco, Stern from Eddie, Nuno and SRV ! Nonetheless here is what I think you could do... As I mentionned earlier, What makes this song (or album !!)great Jazz edition could be a build-up for the rocker/blueser or simply anyone who needs to have their ear trained and nurtured to enjoy jazz. A build up play list kinda like your Nuryll stuff BUT with a build up to the high info stuff if you know what I mean... I'm a fan of the series and have learned so many things, production wise and playing wise also, correcting some parts... I hope this helps and have a great weekend ! :)
    50
  1517. Your passion for music is *contagious*. Brings me back to the days when I was in my twenties, listening to my favourite Brit bands (and Joni Mitchell) and scrutinizing everything they did in a song and reading the album cover for any info. A lot of us didn't have much money but that was okay if you had your favourite musicians, you could share that with your friends! It was the best! It's great that you're putting forgotten talent back on the map, it's a wonderful gesture.
    50
  1518. Dude. I can tell you get this music intellectually, emotionally, and most importantly, intuitively. I'm very jealous my friend. Incredible video!
    50
  1519. Now there’s a guy that needs his own prime time show on Beato TV.
    49
  1520. The thing that made this video extra special to me was, it felt like you were taking us on a familiar ride - the ride so many of us music lovers have had, of discovery and obsession and grasping for understanding and mastery of the music that speaks to us. As others have said, it’s contagious, and it brings me back to a younger age, where things were fresh and new and exciting.
    49
  1521. I've watched 100's of interviews with every type of musician, politician, scientist, philosopher......can honestly say that this interview was one of only a handful where I felt like I was actually sitting there listening to two of my buddies chatting away....pure joy!!
    49
  1522. Do the "wah wah guitar" sound from any Adele song! 😂
    49
  1523. I second that! Much appreciation Rick! 🙏🙏 🎶 🎵
    49
  1524. This isn't a music story. This is a life lesson. Thank you.
    49
  1525. This interview had me riveted to my chair. What a fantastic musician and human being in general. Hats off to Rick the interviewer for conducting this by intervening the minimum possible. That's how it should be.
    49
  1526. I love that Rick has the same amount of passion for all the different ways intervals can be used be it rock, jazz, or Joni Mitchell’s series of sus chords. I’d love to see him do a what makes this album great and start with Ten in its entirety! I enjoy every video, thanks Rick.
    49
  1527. This is one of the best pieces of content I have watched this year. Kudos to you Rick, and all the people behind this interview. I just can’t believe I watched this interview for free.
    49
  1528. Thank you for sharing this, Rick. I grew up with Rob back in the late 70's, early 80's in College Park. He was my brother's age, three years younger than I. It is so clear that you knew him well because so many of those characteristics were larger than life even in his early years. As the circle grows, though, you've been enabling me and enriching my life for the last 2-3 years by giving me the ability to articulate what moves me in music. I'm grateful and knowing that we share a bond in Rob's friendship just makes it sweeter. Thank you, again.
    49
  1529. "We all need to bark" - Aunt Penny Its always nice to learn from experts - but there are lots of experts. You and Leland Sklar are my favorite people on Youtube. Probably not just for the music part either - it's something more. . This was a beautiful tribute.
    49
  1530. Rick is such a great interviewer because he is a master musician, a fan of these talented players and is genuinely excited teaching . The players are aware that Rick is a supremely knowledgeable, talented and a multi instrumentalist. It is a respectful and unique .
    49
  1531. Fuck... I'm 40 and all I hope is to extract as much joy as you do from current music as I grow older. Also, while one can be a bit picky when it comes to genres and subgenres, it blows my mind to listen to so much love and work poured selflessly and abundantly on every song. Thanks for the content.
    48
  1532. Your service to the guitar players by making these legendary musicians open up and talk about all the little things that matter is so huge Rick. Can't thank you enough!
    48
  1533. Nik! Did you notice my man playing drop B chugs on P-90s? Legendary
    48
  1534. Rick, you are without a doubt my favorite interviewer for musicians. With your decades of knowledge, you could easily overshare and step on the conversation. Instead, you let your guests Think, as well as speak, and your active listening is stellar, it actually brings the audience even closer to the guest and makes me just as interested in the topic as you seem to be. Thank you sincerely for doing these.
    48
  1535. Rick is one of the absolute best interviewers period: 1) A perfect gentleman; 2) Insightful, interesting questioning; 3) He LISTENS (he's totally secure with who he is as a person, not feeling the need to interrupt/talk, etc.). I love this channel. I can't imagine the amount of work it is to maintain this level of a channel. What a gift.
    48
  1536. Next: recreating the Van Halen I guitar sound.
    48
  1537. fantastic video Rick. couldn’t have said it any better. In a world where, in the right hands, could make some of the most unfathomable music creations ever due to how far technology has come. Yet, majority of what is popular right now is lackluster.

  1538. One of the best you've ever done. He taught me so much about how songs work just from this. simple, out of the way, fills only on the end of a part to bring it back to the 1. controlling overtones, letting the drum ring, not smashing the kick and coming off, stick turned around, and the art of using gaff tape. Thank you so much for sharing this. Amazing!
    48
  1539. I was one of the ones commenting all the time to stop with the Spotify top ten etc and to use your platform for new music you actually like. Not only have you done this, but you've introduced me to a new amazing artist. Thank you. More of this please!
    48
  1540. That was probably the best rendition of "Yesterday" I've ever heard. My deepest condolences for your loss.
    48
  1541. Maynard is very acerbic. Ask the wrong question, set the wrong tone and he will eviscerate the interviewer. Rick just gets him talking. Simply amazing.
    48
  1542. It’s your enthusiasm for music that keeps me coming back and sitting through some videos where I have no idea what you’re talking about (my wife is a trained musician and laughs at me saying, “Do you have any idea what he’s talking about?”). Yes, this is music appreciation at its finest. Thank you!
    47
  1543. Hi Rick. I don't know you, but in fact, I do. This thing you do, with the feeling and vulnerability that has carried us through our entire lifetimes, is a special connective tissue. A real, visceral connection and I am grateful to you for sharing. Peace to you.
    47
  1544. Thank you for bringing this to us, your audience. No YouTuber who knows his audience better than you do. That was a great selection. But most of all, I enjoyed listening to you describe how you enjoyed music with your dad. Great stuff. Thanks again Mr. Beato.
    47
  1545. Rick... I’ve seen HUNDREDS of your videos... but THIS ONE HERE is by GOD one of the BEST!! Covered so damn many ranges of “EVERYTHING MUSIC & GUITAR!” Hats off brother!! I’m buying your MERCH and gonna support!! Truly INSPIRATIONAL!! ThankQ
    47
  1546. Perfectly said. You are one of those rare personalities that we actually LIKE on the Internet, Rick. You mean a lot to us. Be well!
    47
  1547. Phil X is one of the coolest people out there. He is an incrediblly talented musician. Have Phil more often! Great energy!
    47
  1548. After playing the Shostakovich trio in the Colon theatre in Buenos Aires I asked her for an autograph and commented that she had played it very different to her recording of it, and she answered, "I never play it the same..."
    47
  1549. I do not need to know any of this. But I watched the whole thing with rapt attention. Fascinating to learn from a seasoned pro! And great interview by Rick, as always
    47
  1550. Watching this again I am again amazed at your interviewing technique Rick. You make a comment or ask a question and then you let your interviewee go. A lot of interviewers love the sound of their own voice way too much. Not you, you let the interviewee expound and you LISTEN! A remarkable skill. I could listen to you talk all day but during interviews you let the subject Of the interview be the focus. Amazing work.
    47
  1551. You know s**t's about to get real serious when Rick brings out the Dual Rectifier. You know s**t's about to get real when he pulls out the Abasi guitar.
    47
  1552. This is an incredibly fascinating interview on literally one of the most important musical figures of the last 30 years.
    47
  1553. Billions of people in the world and yet everyone is special to someone. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful lady with us.
    47
  1554. Yeah. Rick is someone who's already lived a life and knows who he is. By becoming a youtuber already secure in that knowledge, he's so much less moved by view counts, commenter opinions, or topic-of-the-moment trends. As a result, we gladly follow his curiosity rather than him following ours.
    47
  1555. It’s extremely rare to find such an amazing musician and artist, that is also one of the best interveners on the planet. No one could pull this off but Rick. The interview with Sting was amazing and of course one of my favorites was Maynard from Tool. These musicians recognize a Rick’s talent and open up and just “talk” to him. Bravo Rick, well done my friend. Cheers!
    47
  1556. I wonder why we can’t just appreciate artistry w/o needing to compare it or box it in w/a category. Real question. (Historical reference I guess?) Beautiful music that makes you feel is just a blessing. Thank you Owen for writing it & Rick for sharing it, appreciating it. Conversation is interesting. The song is a gift.
    47
  1557. You just liked and unliked it though
    47
  1558. its just perfect to see somebody else feel music on such a deep level as you do yourself and it doesnt happen very often. But watching this video i felt really understood with my feeling about Nirvanas music. Thank you Rick for sharing your knowledge about this great piece of music history.
    46
  1559. Another great video, Rick! Putting a plug in here for Rick's ear training program. Well worth the investment. It's very thorough, going well beyond other apps/programs I've used.
    46
  1560. I can't remember the last time I posted a comment on YT (or any social media, for that matter), but this strikes a special chord in me and I need to vent. I used to have an aspiration to be a professional musician and recording artist, but never seriously pursued it because honestly I didn't think I had the stuff; I never stopped playing and enjoying music of course, but this video made me somehow glad that I didn't go down that road, and at the same time incredibly sad. One of my biggest heroes is Tom Petty, and while watching I couldn't help being reminded of how he always expressed his gratitude to Denny Cordell for nurturing him and the band and providing guidance and familiarising them with the ins and outs of a recording studio and whatnot, and how he publicly stated several times how that is sorely missing in the music business of today. It's really depressing to see how this plea seems to go unheard and everything is moving in the opposite direction.
    46
  1561. hi rick i visited my uncle in Atlanta a couple months ago and im pretty sure i saw you out in public and i was too shy to say hi so hi
    46
  1562. This is not the greatest video in youtube, no! This is just a tribute!
    46
  1563. I feel like Rick is too open minded to this garbage. I’m 38, grumpy and miss proper rock music. Lets close his mind 😄
    46
  1564. That documentary is great and I had massive respect for Trujillo for working so hard to get it together. It’s rare to see that level of regard for jazzers/fusion in metal players.
    46
  1565. Wow, the breadth of scope you are covering surrounding music is brilliant Rick. Thank you for being a leading force of creative thinking for artists and musicians everywhere. Simply incomparable content. Incredibly thought provoking and enjoyable each time you post. Very Grateful! Filling a missing piece of life that remains so strong in music from the 60’s and 70’s and bringing it forward making today whole.

  1566. 10-11:30 p.m. big band gig at the hotel casino swim, eat dinner 2am-8am on stage at the Adagio Cafe Jazz club Sleep for a couple hours. Practice 4+ hours (transcribe, work on ideas) eat lunch Practice for Jazz club June - November So that's: 10pm (big band) 11:30pm (eat/swim) 2am (jam) 8am (sleep) 12pm (practice) 4:30pm (lunch) 5:30pm (rehearse) 7:30pm (nap?) 10pm Music: 1.5 hours + 6 hours + 4.5 hours + 2+/- hours = 14+/- hours a day. It's not just the hours. Its the density of hours over time, it's the professional setting, it's the camaraderie, it's the education material at his fingertips, it's the setting of feeling of "no worries" over job or food or money or housing. Doing all of that for 183 days would be life-changing no matter what you focused on. Add it ALL up and have it be motivated by LOVE (of music) and FEAR (of surviving in a uber-challenging profession) and you have 14 x 183 x some factor, say x3. Remember, he kept on adding to it. There wasn't any forgetting and re-learning. It was contiguous. Additive. I think that that is key. And being inspired by other players and being on the spot every day as he performed. All that is definitely worth a x3 factor. Super significant. Add to that Mick lessons focused on areas he needed to work on? Mick is a master musician and teacher. Oh, and not having to pay back student loans (he was on scholarship and taking a temporary leave of absence) during that time was also key. Debt is such a killer of opportunity. This was probably all made possible by him being a guy that was not only super serious about music but also a guy that was also good to be around. Take away the relational aspects and he would never have had the relationship to lead to the invite to play in the first place. 14 x 183 x 3 = 7686 hours That is SUPER substantial. (Now imagine Metheny putting in 12-16 hour days for decades in which 3.5 of those hours were performing 250/365 days a year for 2-3 decades...it begins to make sense.) By the way, a NEC Masters today costs 73k/year x 2 years so 146k. Man, his scholarship ("I was on scholarship") must have been substantial. He wanted to save money. 26 weeks x $1216 ($500 inflation adjusted to 2021) = 32k in today's dollars. But that is the way HE did it. Rick is Rick. That is key. And you are you. He found a way. You find a way. Our challenges are different today but a hungry, sold-out, diligent and decent person today that avoids debt, takes risks, adapts (classical -> jazz -> rock, player -> writer -> producer -> YouTuber) and who keeps a positive attitude and takes advantage of all opportunities that show up, while retaining a love for music, might find a way too. Or you might not. It's rough. There is a lot of talent out there. But beauty is beauty. And you are unique. And you can probably fill in the gaps of someone's musical world and make them sound better - and make their life easier and better. Do that.
    46
  1567. Loved this Rick. You are a wonderful interviewer. I watched through this whole interview with a smile on my face. I cannot play music in any form but I love hearing highly talented people discussing the finer arts of their craft. Keep up the great work.
    46
  1568. Hey Rick, I'm a 35 year musician and now recording/mixing in my own small studio. I learn something new, something I'm doing wrong or something I could be doing better in almost every video you make. I appreciate you!
    46
  1569. 1. Tim has mad skills. 2. I loved the standard 421, not the others. 3. The amps you have are tone beasts. 4. Tim has mad skills.
    46
  1570. Every song on Spotify should come with a video of you reacting to it! When something cool happens your body language is like a child surprised by an unexpected gift or an extra scoop of ice cream. Don’t ever change!
    45
  1571. I think it’s great that you are one of top 2 or 3 guitar players in the family !
    45
  1572. Dang. This is good stuff.
    45
  1573.  @anjomar8865  basically, it being an Outkast song has no bearing on the case of Artikal Sound System vs Dua Lipa. Once that lawsuit is finished, if someone from the Outkast camp wants to file suit, they can as well. Outkast is named as neither the defendant nor plaintiff in the case, so it doesn't matter.
    45
  1574. Brilliant! Do Cornflake Girl Tori Amos next!
    45
  1575. Rick Beato: This is the best channel on YouTube. What a treat.
    45
  1576. I have never heard of this guy and I have little interest in live sound… Yet somehow this may have been my favorite Rick Beato interview yet. This was incredible. I was glued to it for the whole time. I listened to it start to finish
    45
  1577. What a great solo, reminds me of Lucather's solo at the end of Running With The Night by Lionel Richie, fortunately we can all hear that solo loud and clear. The days of a great solo on hugely commercial hit are gone.
    45
  1578. Rick, I think this series is going to make you the modern musician's Casey Kasem.
    45
  1579. Love you, Rick!
    45
  1580. Rick, I wish you could read my comment just to thank you for this valuable information, your channel is the HOLY GRAIL of musicians, listeners and music wannabes like me, seriously I can't come up with a better music channel than "Rick Beato"
    45
  1581. How can someone be so heartless as to dislike this? That's the kind of thing that comes about from the disconnect and anonymity as a product of the internet. I'm so sorry about that, Rick. You're Aunt seems to have been a delightful person and a wonderful influence. You were so fortunate to have her, and she was fortunate to have you. Rest in peace, Aunt Penny 🌹
    45
  1582. Rick my brother ;As a human ,a singer-song writer and studio owner for 30 yrs. , l have been a devoted follower of you and your guest's wisdom in all your permutations for many years now. And I can say unequivocally that that maybe the most priceless gem of information you have ever shared with the world. Absolutely priceless.We should all be feeling truly honoured sir. Thank you & Aunt Penny indeed.
    45
  1583. There's such a big difference between what you do and others that simply, with no value added republish copyrighted works they have no rights and to just to get clicks. There are so many valueless people gaming the system and that's a sad sad testimony for personal morality these days. This is an excellent tutorial with intricate detail, you do a great service to up and coming musicians as well as us old timers! Bands used to play this song back in the day and you have rightly pointed out that we didn't do it exactly right.
    45
  1584. Soundgarden - Burden in my hand? First song that came to mind
    45
  1585. well, the industry machine can't get their sh!t together enough to take care of decades of master tapes in a way that they won't burn down, then trying to hide from responsibility and scapegoat all they can only to turn around to pay people to find music in Rick's educational videos in order to demonetize them with the stupid goal of making anyone listening to the music pay for it thereby killing the history of music TWICE!!! That's a pretty low bar that you can FALL over and still clear but Rick soars over like an eagle in the clouds. Go Ricky Go Go Go! :D
    45
  1586. The success of this channel is directly the reason that dinner with Joni happened... so, in a small way, we were all there with you
    45
  1587. This video represents my favorite thing about YouTube. Having the opportunity to hear the perspective from individuals like Tim and Rick can shave decades off your progress. Their way of cutting through the noise to get to the heart of the matter is something I cherish. Thanks to everyone involved.
    44
  1588. What a great clip. The mutual respect and admiration between you two is palpable, and Sklar's endlessly engaging storytelling is just a joy.
    44
  1589. Way to go Rick!!! You did this for yourself, for your family, for all of us, and -- I'll be the official spokesperson for everyone here -- we really appreciate it. I had this done in 2018 at age 67 and have been feeling basicly great ever since. It's one of those superb occasions when you get to reactivate your appreciation of life and decrease your likelihood of ever taking it for granted. Stay in shape, live consciously, keep on keepin' on, we're with you. Love.
    44
  1590. Echoing in my own way, what so many have said here this “channel” is more than a channel - it IS the Gold Standard - whether it’s Rick teaching us all on his own - or brining in amazing, talented guests. Not sure how you have pulled off some of the recent interviews with “big name artists” - but I suspect they’re knocking on your door because they see your talent and grace. This “channel” belongs on a network where you are properly compensated - you deserved it Rick! Thank you so much for all you do!
    44
  1591. Rick, did you think your guitar would sell out in just hours? Think about that. It's a testament to how many real fans you have. Please make more! There are a lot of people who want to try this guitar (i'm one of them).
    44
  1592. To be honest, this is one of my favourite interviews to date. I only know of Willow through your channel, so her music is not something I am familiar with, but I will be having a decent listen to what she has over the coming days. What grabs my attention the most though, is that this conversation about her music and process, was so natural and free flowing. I can guarantee that if you were sitting around a table enjoying good food and good company, the conversation would be exactly the same. There was nothing contrived about this interview and it is a special hallmark about how Rick interacts with people in his interviews and allows them to be themselves, talking in a way that is authentically them. A brilliant and captivating discussion around creativity and music. Good job on the videography as well! Whoever is doing your editing and camera work is doing a great job. Loved it!
    44
  1593. This wasn't an interview, this was two friends who respect and honor each other who are having a fun and interesting conversation. I have watched many of Rick's and many of Lee's interview and podcasts. This was one was different for both of them. Both acted more authentic and enjoyed each than I have seen in a long time. GREAT video with two greats. Kudos
    44
  1594. Don't kid yourself. There are legions of OK to very poor teachers. Rick has a gift for explaining complicated things in a way that lets even non-musicians can understand.
    44
  1595. I bet you watch for the same reason most of us do. Rare to find such a talent who also keeps it humble. Rick is sharing not just his talent but a love of humanity through music. Always positive. Keep it up Rick.
    44
  1596. I love that you have such a wide range in musical tastes.
    44
  1597. In addition to Rick's many talents, and outstanding videos, he could also be the king of music reaction videos if he wanted. Love the song and love this video!
    44
  1598. The last time Ted Gioia was on Rick Beato’s channel, I became a free subscriber to the Honest Broker. After a few months, I decided to be a paying customer, figuring in a year I could decide if I actually read it. Recently, it came up for renewal. Did I renew? Yes I did!
    44
  1599. 🥇 This is a masterclass on how to conduct a brilliant interview. Rick is the real deal. A musician’s musician. Sting wasn’t bad either 😆. I could do with another 2 hours... Thank you! 🙏
    44
  1600. I’ve rarely seen such an in-depth interview with anyone on any topic, in which the interviewer had no notes, no obvious script, and yet executed a perfect interview with expert command of the subject matter. Fantastic work, Rick. Thank you!
    43
  1601. Rick, your making history, one interview at a time. These interviews will be cherished for generations to come. Thank you Rick ❤
    43
  1602. I love seeing your enjoyment and enthusiasm for All music. I’ve been a subscriber since 43K and you never cease to amaze me!
    43
  1603. This is the best interview I think I've ever seen with Kirk and I love it. All of the introspection, and his talk about Greenie and the creative process... It's perfect. Thank you Rick, from a guy who largely became a guitarist as a result of Kirk and Clapton 30 years ago.
    43
  1604. Recommend for Oscar fans: “Down Here On the Ground” studio album Tristeza, by Oscar Peterson Trio. Unbelievable chordal solo crescendo and tension buildup.
    43
  1605. Cardinal Motion: What a lovely solo! Peter Frampton? I would like to rate it "Comfortably Numb" worthy. Great Stuff Rick!
    43
  1606. Free's "All Right Now" does this. We still need a What Makes this Song Great for "All Right Now," and we need it forthwith.
    43
  1607. Well you KNEW that 100 would have to be BIG.... but ""Do You Feel Like We Do?"" F R E A K I N G M A S S I V E !!! A+
    43
  1608. Rick just low key interviewing anyone he god damn wants too 😐🔥
    43
  1609. Dom mentioned he grew up on the same music Rick listened to. This tells me both Dom and Sting either did their homework before the interview, or were already aware of Rick's presence as a superb musical analyst. Regardless they are coming from a place of respect, which I feel is contradictory to what many of the comments are saying about the couple being guarded. I think they're just in a safe space that plain understands. Congratulations Rick. Watching your videos is always a delight, and this is one of the greatest.
    43
  1610. I've been watching your channel for years, Rick. I just realized something. I've always known how much you love music. Then, I realized that you loved the musicians and their stories, too. Now, I can see the love and respect that so many of the artists and producers now have for you and for your work. I know your journey for all of us has been difficult. So incredibly difficult that most who watch, would have no clue or awareness of what you've been through. Having been a band manager, I know your journey has to have been brutal. I totally respect your commitment and tenacity. Most of all, I appreciate the kind, humble way you have always conducted yourself in the process we've witnessed. We'll done, Rick.
    43
  1611. My son 10 years old doesn’t like listening to to music. I was a former bassist in 2 bands and listening to music was my biggest passion at his age. I just believe new generations don’t care about artists…they just randomly listen to random music in random moments
    43
  1612. Your greatest interview Rick! George is a force of nature, the whole package...what a man! This is beautiful...
    42
  1613. Man Rick's videos have evolved. He is THE best youtuber now
    42
  1614. Why do I get the idea this is how Rick has fun on the weekends? 😆
    42
  1615. "The everyday stuff can make you sick if you let it." - Amen to that Aunt Penny. Godspeed.
    42
  1616. 'Hitch A Ride' by Tom Scholz on the debut Boston album 🎸🎶
    42
  1617. I always dreamed to have a friend that would be passionate about jazz. I would spend hours listenting to and commenting records with him, we would discuss the music and history of the pieces of music together. Now I feel like I'm not alone carving this kind of interaction. Thanks Rick it was highly interesting and your enthusiasm is communicative
    42
  1618. This is one of the best interviews of a guitar player I've ever heard. Great job Rick. Al is the best. What a great dude
    42
  1619. there is a specific category - real YT Artists - Mr Beato is definitely one of them. The way you connect with us - your viewers and fans is really unique - for me personally ,I feel like we know each other and I'm just feeling comfy listening to old Friend! I can't tell how many times you got my attention and how often being inspired by your content I started to explore certain artists; styles; techniques etc... For me if there is a choice between live TV or your channel - its an easy one :D. Thank you. Regards from Germany!
    42
  1620. You just never know. I was working as a struggling radio DJ in a small town when I got a call during my afternoon show. The guy was the program director at a #1 station in the big town. He said "what are you doing?" I said I'm doing my show. He said "wouldn't you rather be doing your show on my station?" Wait, what? He was in town and listening, and decided right then and there he wanted me to take over afternoons from him as he was moving to mornings. He wanted me to start right away. I said I need to think about it. He said "great, I'll call you back in an hour." I told my boss what happened, and he said "if you don't take that job I'll kick your ass!" I went from eating no brand mac n cheese and ramen noodles to being the #1 afternoon show on the highest rated hit music station (by audience share) in the country. Life is weird sometimes.
    42
  1621. I wish every interview was this good Rick. You know Pats playing so intimately that you’re able to drill down into the real core, and circumvent the “so at what age did you play guitar… who was your first teacher” territory that interviews inevitably meander through. It provides a true insight. I’m extremely grateful for this 🙏🙏
    42
  1622. Dude just straight up called Eric Johnson to play in the style of Eric Johnson. Nice!
    42
  1623. “A million stars out tonite, could spark neon from candlelight.” Fckn timeless
    42
  1624. While I have no idea what Rick is talking about, his face and reactions during this are more than worth it; genuine love coming through.
    42
  1625. What a great opportunity to listen to a person like Steve that I admire so much. I remember seeing him in the House of Blues in Houston, and that was such a nice time... Thank you Rick. for being such a cordial and kind interviewer!
    42
  1626. Great tune! Enjoyed this!! 👏👏👏
    41
  1627. Saw him with Oscar Peterson, and Joe Pass in the late 70's. Couldn't believe what I saw and heard. Still cannot.
    41
  1628. The second this video announced its arrival via my notifications, I thought, “Alright, here we go!” - and it didn’t disappoint. This is most nuanced and musically erudite interview with Sting that I’ve ever seen/heard. All of the topics that you wish people would address with this one-of-a-kind artist but somehow never manage to. Congrats, Rick. Another milestone.
    41
  1629. Well said. I was really moved by this video. Lyle is sorely missed, but fortunately we still have Pat around. May he live long and prosper ❤️
    41
  1630. I love how Rick makes you feel like it's the first time you're hearing a song you love. Whoo!
    41
  1631. It's not often something I see on YouTube moves me like this did. This gets you right in the gut! Your tribute to Johnny was great. I appreciate your sharing something about him that was obviously deeply felt. Thank you for letting everyone see an aspect of you we don't normally get to see. Well done, Rick! Well done, indeed...
    41
  1632. Only a few minutes in, and already I feel the need to thank you, Rick, Penny, and family. Thank you for sharing this bit of humanity with in a time when sincerity, tradition and gratitude seem to be scarce. Very grateful to be reminded there are people like you out there.
    41
  1633. I saw Eric Johnson walk up to Rick at NAMM, introduce himself to Rick and say he had been dying to meet Rick and was a huge fan! I was standing right there. Saw it with my own peepers.
    41
  1634. As a huge huge Nirvana (and Soundgarden) fan I can't tell you how massively enjoyable this was to watch. Having Jack Endino there also is great also. For us grunge history nerds this is brilliant. Well done Rick.
    41
  1635. Who ever that was playing Eddie V you knocked it out of the park.
    41
  1636. Hey Rick. I and all of mt professional musicians friends appreciate what your are doing. It’s great to get the insight to these artists taking questions from a pro like yourself. You have reinvented a way to make money doing something you without having to gig 7 nights a week.
    41
  1637. You notice that Rick telling his story he got to a point about 3/4 through where his eyes got wide, they were just looking through the screen and he was connecting with the Youtube audience in a personal emotional way. That kind of defines the root of his success as a entertainer here, he is real and is convincing as a storyteller. Honesty works and an eye to eye connection always works. Enjoyed your tale of failures and successes.
    41
  1638. I'd only ever heard of Karnivool from when Rabea Massaad wears one of their shirts on his videos 😁 Thanks to your video, I bought this album immediately. Incredible stuff!
    41
  1639. Whenever I think, your interviews cannot possibly get any better, you pull something out of your hat that completely blows me away. You are in a league of your own and I feel blessed that we get to listen in to these magical encounters that feel so natural. This is so enriching and rewarding because you introduce us to the human and personal side of those musical geniuses. And getting to know them is as exciting as hearing about their careers and all the marvelous things they have helped create.
    41
  1640. To be honest with you, Rick... I barely even listen to music any more. It's almost as though it was a leisure activity when I was young, and now, I just don't even think about it. And I'm a MUSICIAN! I don't know why. It's almost as though I need to be at home, alone, and in a certain mood to think, "Hey. I need to listen to some music." I find that I listen to music almost only when I'm watching your videos, or when I get into the shower. It's weird. I SHOULD be better about this, but I'm just not. But I don't feel like anything is missing. Maybe I'm just getting old. I do know that my brain likes silence when I get a chance for it, because my life is so full of NOISE (I have 4 children, 17, 14, 4 and 4). And jesus christ, if I have to hear 'let it go' by Indina Manziel one more time, I might completely lose my shite.

  1641. I clicked so fast I dropped my sandwich. Got a little mayo on the keys.

  1642. "An internet treasure." Every video you produce Rick adds validity to this statement. "What Makes This Song Great." represents what the internet can be at its best. Please don't stop - there are so many more great songs for us music enthusiasts to discover with your help.

  1643. Hello, Ric. As a practicing physician, I have had similar conversations with my patients. The relationship you have enjoyed with Peter is akin to my relationship with most of my patients. I know that this has been a huge loss for you and I only wanted to send you my most heartfelt and sincere condolences. I can only say with a fair amount of certainty, without even having the pleasure of knowing Peter, except through your sincere tribute through this video, that Peter has left this world a better place. And thank you for sharing and for the wonderful work that you do.

  1644. When Rick cuts to the Tinnitus frequency, it struck me hard how my own Tinnitus/Hyper Acusis is masking all frequencies above 11500Hz. My condition appeared on 2016 and it has slowly worsened. No meds, accidents, or long term exposure. I am lucky that the volume is not too loud, but listening to the LoPass excerpts reminded me that I might be headed in that direction. Very sobering. In the meantime, I am cranking out as much music as I can. Needless to say that hearing the 9th Sym also put things in it's proper perspective. Clearly no Beethoven here, but hey, I enjoy composing, arranging, and recording. This is why we love Rick. Thanks for all you do for us.

  1645. Because he's a music master. One of the greatest teachers ever. His presence on here is a blessing.
    40
  1646. Having an experienced musician interview other extremely talented musicians about their craft is ground breaking!! 🤣 Sad but true!!
    40
  1647. Who's next? David Gilmour isn't getting any younger. Let's make it happen. Who's with me!? Rick..Rick....Rick.....Rick!!
    40
  1648. not mentioned in the video, but a tone I recognize immediately is George Benson
    39
  1649. Thank you for this!! As a classical pianist myself, she has always been awe-inspiring for me. She has always just been in the zone and on fire!! And to see your face and how you respond to her playing...it is so heart-warming and inspiring. Thank you for sharing your genuine love of great music and great musicians. 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻

  1650. Honorable mentions: Jessie’s Girl (Neil Geraldo) - Rick Springfield Green Tinted Sixties Mind - Mr. Big Love Somebody (Tim Pierce) - Rick Springfield Wanted Dead Or Alive (Richie Sambora) - Bon Jovi

  1651. Very rarely do I support a YT creator because I believe most of it is mindless drivel. I purchased your Beato Book bundle. I'm an "older beginner" and I might as well bought a book in Chinese. With that said, it's still my pleasure to support your work as I believe you have brilliant musicianship. My only complaint is that I wish you would continue your series for brand new guitarists. Thanks for what you do!
    39
  1652. Almost 2AM, gotta work tomorrow, and the notification for this video arrives. "Well, maybe I'll watch the first 5 minutes and leave the rest for tomorrow." The little lies we tell ourselves...! 😂
    39
  1653. What an incredible story! Especially by the interactions of Ron Carter and Smitty's Dad, etc....fantastic story! I agree totally about how much one can learn from just hanging out.
    39
  1654. Chris Squire's bass sound.
    39
  1655. Speaking of Neal Schon, the outro of "Who's Crying Now".
    39
  1656. I always thought Badge by Cream wasn’t ever talked about enough. Great song and solo!
    39
  1657. Rick, thanks so much for this! This is the first time I've ever made a comment on anything but this was beautiful. Robben has so much to give but this is the first time I think any interviewer that I've seen has come close to really letting him do that. To be himself and speak from the heart about things that are important to him. When he talked about being in Miles' band I felt like I was there with them. 'Course I was shitting my pants, but that's not really what's important here. Anyway, incredible to see Robben like this! One of the best and most important interviews I've ever seen! Thanks again Rick
    39
  1658. Rick B. has turned into such a great interviewer. Watch how Rick R. gets more relaxed and enthusiastic as the interview progresses. Amazing.
    39
  1659. You're trending, Rick. #29 ON TRENDING atm
    39
  1660. How does one summon the time in a busy life like yours even in youth to pick up so much knowlege in so many diffrent styles and learn to produce and write a hit song. Ive seen teachers write down on a blackboard how Charlie Parker plays but you have actually injested the exact solos of so many players and can demonstrate them like nothing. Incredible!
    39
  1661. I would love to see a video dedicated to Stevie Ray Vaughan
    39
  1662. Rick , that is the king of the interviews. With you having the background on him, it is no nonsense interview, where in most cases Pat is the one who gives the direction . It is well organised and chronogically legit… Even after all the Pat interviews we’seen so far, this one sticks out fresh and exciting . Kudos
    39
  1663. "If you could read my mind" used to irritate me coz it was bands like Led Zep that I was hooked on. Then just last year on a Sunday afternoon I listened to this song on earphones and it blew my mind.....
    39
  1664. All the best stories start with “My buddy Smitty called me up….”
    39
  1665. The beauty in this is Rick Beato as interviewer angle. You watch cable TV and you've got this lame network (AXS? - Mark Cuban owner interest?) with pretentious, arrogant, self-important Limey music journalist and former Rolling Stone writers trying to feign like they know what they're talking about when analyzing an American musician's career, music, playing methodology, etc. You have to live here and live the life (ie., play the music, process/produce the music, or be close enough to have meaningful perspective) and be old enough to have experienced an artist in their era as a life experienced adult in order to fool (entertain and inform) an audience of rock music aficionados and players. Mr. Beato has mastered the paradigm....he interviews and pontificates, but he has a subjective value-added insight and insider perspective that make his videos like the Frampton interview priceless and riveting......my bias....I was already in my 20's playing guitar when Frampton Comes Alive was riding its commercial crest. I can distinguish between entrepreneurs and players like Mr. Beato and those other pretenders (not to be confused with Chrissie Hynde) and musical journalist wannabe's. Kudos, Rick. Don't ever think your audience takes your time/effort and homage for granted.
    39
  1666. Rick, OMG I just realized why I enjoy you so much...well...beyond the obvious shot in the arm of pure knowledge from a master virtuoso like you. My father and I would spend HOURS discussing his and my favorite tunes. Our record library was quite extensive. It rivaled his complete collection of Playboy Magazine which he is still collecting. I had hours and hours of pure musical joy dissecting the music and listening over and over to excerpts of whatever theoretical idea he was trying to convey to my 4-year-old mind. I suppose I was not a common child in the normal aspect of how one thinks a child is to behave I was a 40-year-old musician in a child's body. I could never get enough of what my Dad had to say. How did he know so much about so many bands? He could have been the editor in chief of Rolling Stone Magazine. At times, he would play the music on his guitar or base just like you do. He never told me how, or what to feel about music...my opinion was mine and I was right about it and to own it. I want to thank you for taking me back to my fond childhood memories when I worshiped my Dad like a God...looking back on things... as a fifty-five-year-old man, I still do. You remind me of him. Know that you are truly loved by so many people. I have a very special reason to love you...you love music as he does. Just own it and smile. Thanks again. David Fryer
    39
  1667. It's amazing how you have been able to create this beautiful connections with us all. I read the comments and we all feel the same. You are special Rick. Thank you.
    38
  1668. This may be the most brilliant YouTube channel. Listening to the two tracks, I am wondering if Pagey was using a lighter gauge pick than you're using. You've made my week with this video.
    38
  1669. If you'd told Rick several years ago "If you start a YouTube channel you'll get to meet Joni Mitchell" he never would have believed you 😂 This story is such an inspiration! The possibilities are endless.
    38
  1670. How could anyone with a beating heart dislike this (or any) of Rick's videos? His love of music and musicians is palpable this channel is a must.
    38
  1671. This guy likes jazz, metal and everything in between. One day all humans will be this evolved. Maybe
    38
  1672. Rick, each time I watch this video, my respect for your musical ability - and sheer bloody tenacity - grows. Kudos to you, sir.
    38
  1673. It sounds really good arpeggiated. I think he knew what he was doing. They practiced 8 hours to get songs down. He spent a long time alone playing guitar in a room. He had to have learned something. his reasoning for choosing Dave and Krist. It all shows he knew what he was doing.
    38
  1674. WOW, just wow! Rick you amaze me with your interviews . Every person you interview feels like you have been close friends for years. You have the ability to create a masterful interview demonstrating incredible knowledge , patience and reverence for the interviewees. You are a fan. You create a safe and respected space for the person to talk without being interrupted all the time. These interviews and your style have become a catalog for all to enjoy and learn from. Thankyou...
    38
  1675. To Mr. Rick Beato,,,,,Dear Sir!....There are many paths we take in life, and with the help of others and a belief in ourselves, sometimes we find where we are supposed to be and meant to be in life!....Rick, you are one of the blessed ones, because YOU ARE where you are supposed to be.... You are now A Shinning Star to millions of people that watch you daily..... Take solace and be proud Rick Beato, and your Dad I am sure is smiling down upon you!....
    37
  1676. There have been very few things over this awful period here in the UK(4.5 months of total lockdown ) that have consistently given joy but this channel is one of them , thank you Rick Beato
    37
  1677. Firth of Fifth - Genesis! Don’t usually see any Steve Hackett on top 10 lists like this.
    37
  1678. the "global meltdown of computers" never actually happened because we fixed the problem before it happened, not because it wasn't going to happen
    37
  1679. This video demonstrates why Frampton's solo -- especially as it's done live -- should have been #1 on the Best Solos video. Comfortably Numb is still great, but this beats all.
    37
  1680. I don't normally comment on this channel, but this interview was fantastic! The Pumpkins were one of my favorite bands growing up, and this is one of the best interviews of Billy I've seen. Keep up the great work, Rick!
    37
  1681. The World Cup final kicked off 3 minutes ago, and I'm over 1 hour in...now, I'm a big soccer fan, and there is not a f***ING hope I'm leaving this interview! This is just so so good on many levels. Good man Rick 🙏
    37
  1682. Definition of happiness... investing your time in hunting down a sound for a 1978 released song 😂 This is why we love your content, Rick ❤
    37
  1683. After this video I realize I know nothing about music 😅😂
    37
  1684. This is Gold. Rick is a great interviewer and 3 hours just flies by. Daniel is so humble as he listens back to the masterpieces that he co-created. What a joy to observe someone that has no ego with all of the success he has had. Thank you Rick and Daniel for sharing your gifts with us. Very inspirational. 🙏 🙏
    37
  1685. This is easily one of, if not my FAVORITE interview of all time. My goodness, there is soooo much information and insights on what it takes to actually be a musician. Pat is amazing, and Rick you are a great interviewer. Cheers.
    37
  1686. Makes me smile when Al looks over at you Rick and the both of you understand what's happening. He understands that you're not just listening as a common listener would or as your common interviewer/journalist would. There's a shared respect of the music. That's why these hit. The greats aren't trying to impress Rick. Rick isn't there to impressed by the artist. Just 2 people in a room really connecting. And I can tell that each time Rick has a legend back for another intervi.....conversation, they are more at ease, comfortable, and open. I love to imagine that Rick is making life long friends with these conversations, not just interviewing stars.
    37
  1687. I'm not a musician, but I do love music. Your YouTube channel is GREAT. And this video will have me seeking out some Julian Bream and Damien Kelly recordings. Thank you.
    37
  1688. Once again, Rick interviews a living legend. Only part of the video is an interview. It's also a performance and a master class. Bravo.
    37
  1689. You two guys just don't know how much I have enjoyed both of you, your intelligence and your dedication to your craft.
    37
  1690. There is no question, Rick, you make Unparalleled interviews and song breakdowns and many, many, I have LOVED...this one brought me an emotional release I did not expect. And even more so when Chris choices for his favorite Steely Dan cuts...and his are mine. And I think people sleep on, Home at Last. I for ALL you do...Thank You and please keep it up. And Chris's songs have always been Top Shelf...and his story and stories were phenomenal...and I had to listen to it... again. 🎉🎉🎉
    37
  1691. Just when I think I have you figured out as a person, you pull out an Abasi Guitar. Legendary.
    37
  1692. Sadly, I am one of those non-musicians, in that I can not write, sing, or play, but I love to listen to you talk about the complexities of music which I never imagined, but which make so much sense when you speak them. It makes me feel like I am part of music, after all. I did do a straight donation so that I can keep listening, and I thank you so much for sharing your experience and music and I thank everyone else who supports your work!
    37
  1693. Rick this is an astounding interview that no one else could do in the way you did it, eliciting these most profound observations. And that it came out on Aunt Penny’s birthday, she would be thrilled. ❤
    37
  1694. Do this every month, Rick. With metal and other genres. We, music lovers, thank you immensely
    37
  1695. Rick, your outstanding interviews will be worth GOLD when unfortunately, some day these amazing musicians (and you) will no longer walk this earth. You are single handling preserving the rarest of rare interviews that generations will appreciate forever. Thank you.
    37
  1696. Been a Scofield fan for 40+ years — I couldn't break away from this interview ... totally awesome. He's really just like the rest of us — work really hard and maybe you'll get somewhere ... imagine that. Rick — you bring out the best in your subjects ... you know, they know you know, but you let them tell the story. I'm an old newspaperman and that's how you get a good interview. Golden.
    37
  1697. This was an incredible and heartfelt tribute to one of the most gifted jazz pianist and improvisers. I especially enjoyed Keith’s performance on Solar and his reactions to hearing the music played back. There are a number of great video sessions that you have created but this one touches me in a very special way. Thank You and Keith for this gift 🙏🏽
    37
  1698. Your channel Rick, is for me what all the top music magazines/radios used to be, back in the 70s and (parts of) the 80s. When it call got lost into a cloud of commercial smoke. Your approach is a next level fusion of inspiring, informative, intellectual, and musically interesting infotainment. Thank you for yet another great interview! Cheers from a The Police fan from 70s/80s. Few musical entities have IMO deserved more, to be called a Paradigm shift than what this band brought forth.
    36
  1699. Just priceless. Rick brings out the best in the personalities of all these well-known musicians. I've known OF Rick Wakeman but this is absolutely the first time I feel I have a true insight into him as a person and a human being. The stories are amazing,.
    36
  1700. The reason i love Rick is because his mind is so open to every style of music, and his analytic skills through experience are so vast that he can instantly tell you what is the process behind it. Not only that, what makes him truly unique is that he ENJOYS all of it. God Bless you Rick!
    36
  1701. Beato and Onorato. (In italian “Blessed and “Honored”) How ironic is that?
    36
  1702. As a die hard music fan and a government tech contractor this interview is full of life lessons in succeeding in business. A master class! Thank you for continuing to bring us heroes of our best music!
    36
  1703. I grew up listening to and hating this artist and album - thank you for making me realise at the age of 50, that I know nothing and need to relisten to Joni Mitchell
    36
  1704. Wow, just wow. Been a university music lecturer for decades - this interview is a dream. What i like most is the depth of the reflection combined with stunning compositional and analytical/ educational skills. Refreshing, to witness not just another Oscar winner effect movie blockbuster scorer, this is a highend sophisticated contemporary composer and obviously a very gentle person that can express in detail what its all about. , Listen and learn. Great!
    36
  1705. He really does just seem to like it all and doesn't have anything negative to say. Not even "this isnt something i usually listen to, but.." It's refreshing.
    36
  1706. Weak argument for Black Hole Sun, IMO. Tape speed issue shouldn’t disqualify it if it’s ACTUALLY played in drop D.
    36
  1707. Just love the way you deconstruct songs and are able to comment not only on chord progressions but vocals (yes, I hate autotune as well), different instruments and overall production. Rick, I recommend your channel to everyone who is interested in learning music. Thank you.
    36
  1708. I watched it to the end! I clicked on it just because it was a conversation between you two, you're my favorite "Music-Tubers"
    36
  1709. Rick is such a music purist even his furniture is made out of speaker cabinets. Gotta love it.
    36
  1710. I love this channel. Between the music appreciation, music history and theory, this is the type content I stop everything I am doing to watch. I am grateful for the opportunity to get the music training I always wanted but never had the patience for when I was younger Channel comments are always so thoughtful and respectful - such a huge bonus on the internet where so many haters rule (or ruin) the day. Rick and Fans of, from the bottom of my thank you and Happy New Year. ♥️
    36
  1711. I love your tribute to Jimmy Cobb, Rick! I was fortunate enough to meet him in person as well in Toronto at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre in January/February of 2002. He was there as part of the International Association of Jazz Educators Annual Conference. It was absolutely life changing for me. Every performance I saw was phenomenal from The Yellowjackets to Renee Rosnes to John Pattitucci Group, Dave Weckl Band, Oscar Peterson, Benny Green & Russell Malone.... so many other legends. Meeting Mr. Cobb was a very casual thing. He was very pleasant to all of us present. The whole event is something I’ll never forget for as long as I live. Thank you for this video. I love your genuine enthusiasm for music history. Your content has helped me tremendously during this pandemic. Thank you Mr. Beato. Cheers
    36
  1712. You are one hell of a story teller, Rick. I frequently listen to YouTube videos while taking care of two or three other bits of business in my house or office, but after the first few minutes I dropped everything and sat down to listen. Thank you for all you do and for the heart you put into this channel. It makes a difference.
    36
  1713. Rick I can’t thank you enough for the content that you bring us day after day. These so called ‘music journalist’s’ are a joke and most of the time have no idea what they are talking about. It’s a joke. It’s so liberating to have someone from my generation like you, who can represent our generation of music and speak for us. You hit the nail on the head again in this video and eloquently called out the problems that continue to plague this current music culture. The music industry is broken badly and my fear is that it’s irreversible.
    36
  1714. I brought my 10 year-old son to your Seattle show and we loved it! I hope you felt the love from the crowd up there on stage. I first found you from your What Makes This Song Great series, but you inspired me to learn more about music and theory in general. I'm a professional bagpiper (four-time US Champion) and teacher and you've increased my understanding, appreciation, and love of some of my favorite bands and expanded the range of music I listen to. You and your videos are a big part of our musical diet at home and in the car. I recently dug out my old iMac with an iTunes library of thousands of songs. Now my two young sons are having a blast discovering music and burning their own mix CDs. Thank you Rick! Jori Chisholm
    36
  1715.  @johnbeamon  Yeah, too bad he doesn't. I'd pay for that.
    35
  1716. I’m pretty sure Jimmy Page is gonna watch and enjoy this.
    35
  1717. I'm so grateful for this interview - and for so many reasons. While I love music, I had never heard of Tori Amos before now. It was like an epiphany. While some child prodigies fade away as they grow older, Tori managed to continue on with a rare combination of intelligence and soul. Her ability to reflect and grow in her craft is astounding. A true gift. ... And Rick, you did an astounding job of interviewing her. If only other interviewers could do what you have done! Thank you both for your gifts and transparency. The time flew by and left me wanting more.
    35
  1718. They’d never give an artist this much freedom to realize their vision in the age of the single
    35
  1719. Rick, I love the series on what makes a song great, but it's extra special when you see and feel the passion of the artist in their own words. This was an incredible episode, and I enjoyed it tremendously. The funny thing is I never really cared for the song all that much, but now appreciate it on a different level, and want to download it, and listen to it over and again. This is the light that sparks us all to re-listen, appreciate, and create. You are constantly causing me to dust off some of the old albums and listen to them in a new light, and for that I am truly grateful. Rick you are the best, keep up the good work. Rock on!
    35
  1720. Rick, your analysis of songs has brought guitar and music education to a whole new level. My playing and enjoyment of guitar - and appreciation for the music I love - has improved more over the last 12 months than in 50 years of having an axe in my hands. Respect, my friend.
    35
  1721. The best interviews are always the ones where the interviewer listens best. And asks the right questions after the interviewee answers. And being prepared and knowing your interviewee. You did just that to sheer perfection Rick! You provided such a great atmosphere which allowed Ron to elaborate on his massive musical history. This interview for me was epic beyond words! Thank you SO much to highlight this wonderful man. He is truly the gentlest of giants. A hero for all us humble 4-string pickers….
    35
  1722. "OH! " counter: 4 5:55- Oh! 5:57-...WOW 6:44- oo00H‽‽ 6:55- Whoo!
    35
  1723. Rick speaks truth here. My bass teacher’s got me doing ‘rhythm changes’ (original Gershwin). And at the same time, Miles Davis ‘Tune Up’. These 2 complementary songs are the like a grounding in jazz harmony.
    35
  1724. Historical interview, will remain as a national American treasure as long as we can preserve it.
    35
  1725. The genius is the person who advised Taylor to do this. Things always sound better the second time around.💲
    35
  1726. Rick is one of the most knowledgeable, respected and enthused music experts and educators (and an excellent guitarist) in Social Media land. Pat Metheny is one of the greatest guitarists, and one of the most musically intelligent players, on the planet. Put the two together and you’re guaranteed one of the most informative, detailed, highly insightful, enlightening and ridiculously relaxed interviews you’re likely to hear or see. Those of us not in 'the profession' but who attempt to chat to the more serious musician/ artist on a more cerebral and musical level can only dream of aspiring to this expertise of interview and interviewer knowledge, in the company of a true genius of his art. Outstanding Interview.
    35
  1727. It is a blessing to make it to retirement in decent condition , because many don’t. Rick , your good humor and genuine good nature have brightened many challenging days over the last few years I have watched you !
    35
  1728. Great job Rick, on this amazing & comprehensive interview with Daniel Lanois. It's great because of your abilities and knowledge of Daniel and recording in general. No one else could have done this. It's an interview for the ages in my humble opinion. I was fortunate enough to meet Daniel in 1992 before one of his shows. I have been a fan for a long time. I also got to tour Grant Avenue studio, his former studio for several hours because my cousin recorded there and knew the new owner. Daniel built and recorded there for years, honing some incredible techniques in the process. I had an amazing day at Grant Ave. All the best to you Rick and continued success. Your posts are always outstanding, but this one is off the charts, even for you.
    35
  1729. Low-key, blue collar, old-school father is something that a lot of us children from the 60's can relate with. They didn't say a whole lot but sometimes the silence and their presence was when you felt the love the most.
    35
  1730. Michael and Rick in one place. It’s like my subscription page is evolving 🤣
    35
  1731. Rick’s approaching 3 million subscribers due to the quality of his production and teaching style. Go Rick!
    35
  1732. That was quite a moment to see, to be given such a thank-you by someone you really admire as an artist. And the way Rick complimented her at the end of the interview, told her what her music has meant for him, and how she received the compliment - wow. People like these two, interactions like this, really do give me hope for humanity.
    35
  1733. dude the music theory and everything is super cool and i do my best to learn, but man what i really enjoy is the JOY you have. its written all over your face and it just cheers me up man. thank you so much, i love your channel!
    35
  1734. I don’t know if this was intentional or not, but interviewing two accountants in a bland room while sitting on bland banquet room chairs is spot on! Great content as always
    35
  1735. I’m always amazed at how humble and appreciative your guests are. Marty seems to be a class act!
    35
  1736. Nice to hear two men who can talk for an hour and a half without swearing, even on a topic that both are passionate about.
    35
  1737. As someone who has done a ton of interviews… what makes a good interviewer is: 1. Being a great listener. 2. Being prepared. 3. Being willing to go ‘off script’ when needed. Rick… you do all of these. Great job.
    35
  1738. - 80 years old! - Playing piano INSANELY! - Playing all these long concertos from memory - Speaking 5 languages - Had 3 kids and still shreds insanely! ABSOLUTELY MINDBLOWN!! me at 80: - Dead.
    35
  1739. Frank Zappa often said the same about the industry in the 80’s!! Theres an interview where he talks about how even though executives in the 60s and 70s were out of touch with youth and new music, they still took the risks and signed artists who were new and experimental. But once the generation of the 60s and 70s were in power in the industry, their tastes reflected the “music = a commercial product” model, and had they favored sterile and monochromatic, easily marketable pop music over better music.

  1740. 14:24, she reveals a secret...”it’s wonderful to see your children grow up”. She views Rick as her son. Sweet. All things must end, and our hearts break...fitting however that she passed the day before Thanksgiving, she seemed a magnificent reason to give thanks. Hats off Rick for your sensitive and loving tribute. You’re the man.
    35
  1741. I lost my dad November 9, one month shy of his 87th birthday.... he taught himself harmonica, then accordion, then an organ... our song was "Leader of the Band" at my wedding... he gave me my love for music - and I understand this heartbreak.
    34
  1742. In my profession as a teacher, it’s a great story to listen to. Today’s teacher is a facilitator of knowledge, not the holder of it. You only need to teach skills, students will gather the knowledge on their own. Your channel is a success because it’s a collaborative effort in learning about music. We are all sharing ideas about music and music theory through the comments and you bringing guests like Larry Carlton. You have the right formula for teaching and learning. Keep it up Rick!
    34
  1743. I’ve never watched such a seamless coherent interview
    34
  1744. Rick - don't know if you'll ever see this. "I fill in when it gets boring" - PRICELESS! Your aunt Penny was (IS) amazing. I feel a connection with you and your family. As a drummer, I've often said there is a fine line between a 'groove' and a 'rut'. I have a hunch you, and your aunt Penny, would agree with that. "Don't be afraid to bark!" "Everyday stuff can make you sick!" Totally agree. God bless you and your aunt.
    34
  1745. I always walk into these videos going “Bullshit Rick! This title is total clickbait, it’s totally going to suck.” Then when it’s over “Damn it! Rick was right again.”
    34
  1746. Rick, I’m so glad you did this episode. When I describe my hearing loss to people I try to explain that it kinda works like an EQ. You demonstrated it very well in your video. I was diagnosed with Ménière’s disease 15 years ago. Devastating to me as a musician. I have severe hearing loss in my right ear; and it could eventually affect my other ear as well. I have constant tinnitus that is accompanied by a static sound, much like the hiss from a distorted amp. It took me about a year to get used to the tinnitus, and when I am sitting alone with no background noise and in total silence is when the Tinnitus is the worst. Eventually we adapt.
    34
  1747. I'm a friend of Franks and have heard him play countless times. He always plays like this Video! 100% commitment to the music and to his fellow musicians and fans! Frank you are the best!!
    34
  1748. Most of these songs sound better with the added guitar playing from Rick.
    34
  1749. And we will all wear gold plated diapers in the end!
    34
  1750. My first WMTSG episode. I'm not a musician but I am a long time music fan and have the ultimate respect for musicianship. Many times watching a musician play is an emotional experience that can literally bring tears to my eyes. But hearing your commentary and musicianship is also something extraordinary to me especially explaining actual notes, chords and such. It simply blows me away that anyone knows these things. I know this song backwards and forwards in my mind yet knew nothing about how it's constructed musically. Not to mention just hearing someone else reacting, praising, playing, and breaking down every part of the song. It gives me goosebumps and invigorates me...my endorphins are flowing. After I click the comment button to post this message I'm off to watch another WMTSG episode. Thanks Rick. You're a maestro.
    34
  1751. All the music composers old and new are incredible, inspires me to learn how to read and write music and Rick you also inspire with every video. I plan getting your books and also buying my first bass guitar after learning with my little brother. Your channel is awesome. I have often wondered how this type of music would sound played on modern instruments like pianos and electric guitars and bass etc it fascinates me.
    34
  1752. I love this stuff. Good to see the “wallpaper” being put to such good use!
    34
  1753. As a theremin player, I am happy to hear such cheerful music in one of my favorite music channels
    34
  1754. Damn, Rick's channel grew to the point where high profile guests come. I knew about this channel when it was like some 50k. Nice to see him suceeding. One of few people who actually deserve his success because the value is there.
    34
  1755. I will continue to listen to Tool even after I'm dead... Their music transcends the mortal realm 😎🤣 I'm 45 now, have listened to Tool since I was 18.
    34
  1756. Rick's channel is literally music television and I love it. I would die to see Rick interview them Radiohead boys.
    34
  1757. I teach Grade 8, and I can definitely say over the past about 3 years she captured a lot of the girls in my classes the way I remember so many of my friends (and me) being captivated by Nirvana and the grunge movement back in the early 90s.i think platforms like YouTube allow a bit more democratized growth then MTV and radio did in the day so she hopefully avoids as much of the pitfalls of Fame that affected Kurt so much.
    34
  1758. An education no “music school” could ever come close to. Absolutely astounding interviewee and interviewer. Required viewing for any music lover. Thank you!!!
    34
  1759. Loved this. As a pianist Brad Meldau has been a hero of mine and it is special to hear him talk about the secrets behind his magical playing.
    34
  1760. Bands and music come in and out of our lives like people do. They may be more or less relevant as time goes by. I see this as why we tend to fade away from particular artists. Those earlier records are relevant to the experiences and emotions we had at that time. Going back to those earlier songs brings up those memories, but their new stuff just doesn't hit the same.
    34
  1761. Sponsored by Ibuprofen!!!
    34
  1762. Paul Davids asked Rick to help him out with a video a few months ago, and Rick tells him “sure but I’m not much of a guitar player” 😆
    34
  1763. Congratulations Rick! It is obvious to myself and others I'm sure that you could have become a big star just as a guitar player. In a way, you have to many of us. But instead, you've devoted your life to being a teacher. Your decision to donate your profits from the purchases of this guitar to music education exemplifies that fact. What a classy way to do it. You are so deserving Rick!
    34
  1764. Leaving a comment. Because we all know it's important to have proper engagement on posts from our favorite YouTubers. :) Next time I have some free cash I'm all over the ear training system. I did Nuryl with my toddler from before he was even born and still regularly play him harmonically dense, modulating music on a regular basis. But weirdly, the kid just loves Toto...and it's all because of your "What Makes This Song Great?" Episode 9.
    34
  1765. Ric is so cool and talented he’s a monster talent and educator.
    34
  1766. This type of topic is another reason why this channel rises above others. Its what gives us listeners another dimension to the nuances of music 👍
    34
  1767. Never heard a cover of a Paul Simon or Simon and Garfunkel song that surpassed the original. The same can't be said of Dylan, as great a writer he unquestionably is.
    34
  1768. Rick — this is an incredible interview, world class. I don’t comment on your vids very often, but this interview — pure genius. You cant get this anywhere else. Blessings to you — 🙏
    33
  1769. Looooooooooove this!! Jay Graydon is a *genius*!! His analog self-designed toys & tricks, production skills, his *ears, guitar skills, chart reading/writing skills, his mad-scientist-level attention to detail in the studio.... total genius :)
    33
  1770. What a fantastic video! Rick, you may be the finest all-around musician and teacher I’ve ever seen on YT. I played guitar professionally for 12 years and don’t know of any musicians who are as skilled as you on so many instruments........and, your knowledge of theory is off the charts. Thanks for all the wonderful videos.
    33
  1771. I thought this was going to be a gimmicky video... turns out it was a fascinating exploration of handedness and musicality. Bravo, Mr. Beato, as always
    33
  1772. As a lifelong fan, student, and player of music, especially rock n roll, I have the most sincere appreciation for this channel and the guest. Thank you Rick
    33
  1773. Rick brings the passion (and the facts) here for the cause of art and common sense. Rick is a genius at showing clearly and powerfully to non-performing artists like me just how much skill, artistry, and creativity go into the music pieces I take for granted as the soundtrack to my life. Much respect and gratitude!
    33
  1774. So glad you decided to do this Rick. The fact that a song you were so closely involved with can sit beside the many classics you've covered in this series demonstrates why so many people, including myself, value your opinion on all things music related.
    33
  1775. Muchas gracias por sus lecciones y análisis en general de todos sus episodios.
    33
  1776. Carmine Carmazzi: "I'm showing you how to play, I'm not showing you how to sound ..." Pure Gold
    33
  1777. Demiurge right at the start of a Beato video? Mind blown
    33
  1778. Rick, you look GREAT for almost 60! You're one of my favorite content creators. What I love most is your positivity. Even when you go through the top 10 and the songs aren't exactly your cup of tea, you still find positive things about them to compliment them on. You are the MAN!
    33
  1779. I've listened to Julian Bream for about 45 years. It was a joy to see this on your channel. I'm English, naturally. You're a genius, Rick.
    33
  1780. Why can't I have a neighbor like Rick to go hang out with a coffee and head to the basement and listen to some Andy Gibb or Slayer. LOL
    33
  1781. Jimmy’s songs will be sung 100 years from now and his interview with Rick was special. Those stories are priceless.
    33
  1782. My mom today...."Have you heard of RIck Beato?" haha. You are reaching far and wide my friend. Amazing stuff! Can we please all take music back to this place? And quickly.
    33
  1783. Chris Cross is fun and amazing to listen to. This was the kind of fly on the wall kind of interview that so many of us non musicians wish we could be privy to. Stories about people and gear and the music itself. Thank you Rick for being the guy who brings us into this world and enjoying it so much yourself!
    32
  1784. That is one of the best interviews ever! Michael is so brilliant. I’m a Nashville keyboard/accordion player and he is on my short list of folks I’ve wanted to meet. His solo on “Sailing” is one of the most beautiful, perfect gems ever! AND…he played accordion on “Piano Man”! Thank you Rick for being total class as an interviewer. Blessings to you Michael!
    32
  1785. I now know why you smiled when I said I hope you get backstage when I saw you at the concert Sunday night, this was already in the works. Congrats great interview 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
    32
  1786. Holy cow, Rick. Not only are YOU one of the truly great underrated lead guitarists - your ear is incredible. I feel smarter just by watching you dissect stuff. Keep up the good work! Much love from sunny Portland, Maine
    32
  1787. what's amazing about this channel is how it started out and what it has become; there is something for everybody, newbies wanting to learn and get inspired, top level people talking about how and why they do what they do and what makes them famous, and then to top it off, all the big starts that are dying to get on and act like kids when they do! Sting was even nervous when he first sat down...its the gift of technology that gives us this, and Rick's generosity and brilliance..thank you, bro!
    32
  1788. I have watched this 4 times now. This is packed with so much information and references I'm writing stuff down and researching. Thank you for the best interview I've seen in years !!!!!!!
    32
  1789. I had Lonely Runner stuck in my head today for no particular reason. Haven’t heard it in months but had to come back here to find it. Really fun tune Rick 🙂
    32
  1790. Now, THIS, is a Ted talk! Absolutely fantastic conversation. Thank you, Rick!
    32
  1791. Rick, excellent questions and interview. It’s really great to see two musicals minds talk and essentially teach the next generation, much much more than any Master Class video ever did. I have gained so much insight into how he composed and am excited to go try some of the techniques on my own. please do more interviews with film composers. nice to hear how he gets stuck , and works through the scoring process just as a beginning composer does. and ultimately it’s just a processes of going with whatever sounds good to the ear.
    32
  1792. I really love how this video is kind of just a valentine to his dad. I hope when I’m dead and gone my son remembers me with half that affection :)
    32
  1793. Dave is one of the coolest, down to earth and honest guys I've ever heard interviewed. This was a joy to listen to on so many levels.
    32
  1794. Kicking off the 90s with the band that kicked off the 90s!
    32
  1795. Right now I’m kinda in a low-key depression because my YouTube channel doesn’t work at all. Thanks to videos like this I try to think more positive about it all. Thank you Rick!
    32
  1796. Damn it, Rick. You intentionally kept Stargazer off of the drum intros list just so we'd go crazy in the comments. At the very least, you recognize how excellent Cozy Powell's drumming is.
    32
  1797. You’re a genius Rick . And a pioneer - a pioneer of a dozen things all centered around keeping great music alive and educating willful people to the next level. Whether it’s casual listener to a more advanced listener or a moderately advanced listener to a technical listener Kudos to you Happy new year 👍🏻👍🏻
    32
  1798. Rick, you are the Johnny Carson/Merv Griffin/Ed Sullivan of You Tube music channels. You are the go-to channel for all things music, whether it be instructional, entertainment, or interviews that are all musical in nature. Captain! My Captain!
    32
  1799. Rick, you are the best at what you do. Your studio is the Mecca of superb viewing content, quality, and professionalism that we all are gifted to witness. Thank you. . . . I am sincerely grateful.
    32
  1800. Rick you have such a nice way about you. Your knowledge and understanding of all phases of music is incredible but it's the way you share it with such humility that makes your interviews such a pleasure to watch. I feel like I could sit down and talk to you about anything and I would enjoy the conversation. Another interview done very well. Thank you Rick.
    32
  1801. I'm not one for classical music, but Rick has that knack of bringing the beauty of any style of music to the unwashed masses and making it a compelling view... wonderful, thank you Rick...True edutainment genius
    32
  1802. New series: What Makes This Life Great. 😉 (I personally find this just as interesting as your WMTSG videos, and way more inspiring than your rants.)
    32
  1803. Zep getting this unblocked further proves how badass they are
    32
  1804. Rick, doing a reaction video of KEITH JARRETT reacting to KEITH JARRETT has got to be the greatest move ever! this whole interview is priceless but that part had me crying
    31
  1805. The deeper a tube, the lower the frequencies at which it resonates. That is why tubular bells produce lower pitched sounds when the bells are larger and/or thicker. So the reason a shorter bass drum may sound deeper is because of the second membrane resonating more in phase with the first one. A deep bass drum (say 22 inch) may act as a helmholtz resonator which cancels out low frequencies.
    31
  1806. When the no-name songwriter badmouthed Joni Mitchell I knew this rant was gonna get good lol
    31
  1807. I don't post anything on here. I have a rollercoaster musical life touring Europe while living in Norway. I've been in the music game for over 30 years and seen its changed. Worked for Sony Ireland before the BMG tie. Watching what you do Rick brings a sense there is still hope for music (rather than the autotune rubbish) Your genuine mannerisms are such a compliment to your wealth of experience in life and your chosen career. This brought tears and I lost two heros, my grandfather (famous Irish Painter) and mother who brought music into my life and taught me lessons on the dance of life. Your perseverances I salute and leave you with this from a line in a song I wrote. "And as time goes by and people change. At least I won't have left an empty page". Please keep doing what you do. It's truly beautiful in every way. Eli
    31
  1808. You nailed this guitar Rick, be proud of your baby. I`ll probably go get one just because you care about the design and the teaching of music to our children. You`ve never disappointed me on any of your videos. I`m so humbled by your love of music.
    31
  1809. Hey Rick, been following you for awhile now and this video really hit home. I had a best friend commit suicide and he called me the night before it happened. We spoke for 30 mins or so about absolutely nothing, I must have gone over that call in my head a hundred times since. I concluded that it was his way of saying goodbye, one last time talking and joking about nothing. Thanks for doing what you do!
    31
  1810. How about that intro? I think that’s the first time I’ve seen Rick “act”.
    31
  1811. I never tire of Rick's enthusiasm. I would literally listen to anything on Earth based on his recommendation...just because I know it's something I should learn.
    31
  1812. Man, every time a WMTSG pops up, I have to carve out 20-30 minutes of my day for Rick. Have learned so much from these breakdowns and isolated tracks.
    31
  1813. Dear mister Beato, first of all I'm sorry for your loss of a great friend. Some stars appear to shine so short and bright, their light leaves an imprint of Shadows seen (heard) long after they're gone. You talking about him nearly 10 years after is one of those shadows. Thank you for your story! Second, I discovered your channel only a few weeks ago and make it my daily routine to watch some of your vids. It's the first time in my life I encountered someone like me who hears quality and production value in every piece of music. The fact that you talk respectfully about a 'rip-Off' Kate Perry track and it's production value makes this channel not just perfect for guitarists but for every musician in the business. You became my mister Miyagi.. thank you! Ps, my English sucks, hope you'll understand.
    31
  1814. I do think that is the best interview with Robben I have ever heard. He seemed genuinely appreciative that you, Rick asked him more thoughtful and challenging questions. Great job!
    31
  1815. Rick CAN METAL!!!!
    31
  1816. Rick Beato – I love your passion about music, you're humbleness, yet honest critiques. I've learned a lot from watching your vids (Not just about music. You are an amazing teacher, mentor, musician, human.) I hope you sell out and make gazillions. You deserve it. Please however, consider while doing that, also keep doing what you're doing. Keep control of your brand. Your vids are very authentic and what I think is your magic. Watching your channel, I'm energized... I'm planning to buy my first guitar (I'm close to you rage too!) and try and learn to play. Which BTW, has a 96.6 % chance of failure of any successful results on any level. But not the point. Regardless, you inspire! Awesome job my man! Huge props... You Rock It Man! (sorry EJ fan here. I don't know a good Beatles cliche to use.) Cheers, Sean.
    31
  1817. How did I just go from having no idea Brad Mehldau was, to him being my favorite Artist & feeling in love with the piano; ... mixed, poured & set an hour and 1/2 later by Rick? Aetheric.
    31
  1818. Also thank you Rick for giving this legend a definitive interview for all his fans to be able to look back on for years to come !
    31
  1819. I absolutely love these interviews Rick! I can't think of another interviewer in history that understands music the way you do and can communicate like you do. These are important and historic videos you're making. Thank-you so much.
    31
  1820. Hi Rick - I am a fellow Rochesterian, raised in Irondequoit. Born in 1949 I also had dyslexia (no one knew at that time) and struggled every single school day of my life. The reason I am commenting is the Rochester history of three music greats and my family. My Dad was buying tropical fish at the home of someone he worked with when he heard some really good electric guitar music playing and asked what album it was so he could buy it (my Dad was musical and loved various music styles) Mr. Cornish replied: "Oh that's not a record, it's my son Gene practicing guitar." Of course, that was Gene Cornish who went on to become the guitar player of the Young Rascals. One of my older brothers went to Franklin high school with Chuck Mangione and his older brother Gap, we even have home movies of Chuck hanging out at our house. My other older brother went to Eastridge High school with Steve Gadd (we called him Stevie). And yes, both of them were already amazing musicians at that time! I also remember going on school "field trips'' at the Eastman School of Music and was thrilled with the classical pieces played by the orchestra. How music and learning to play saxophone and then guitar at 15 helped me cope with a learning disability is another story... Love your talent and musical choices!
    31
  1821. This guitar appreciates all types of music, knows oodles of it's own theory, and helps budding guitarists grown and get better... Congratulations, brother! It's one of (if not THE) major milestones of literally EVERY GUITARIST EVER!!!!
    31
  1822. This is why I love Rick's interviews. I listen to a lot of music production podcasts, and it's shocking how bad some of the interviewers are. They're constantly interrupting, interjecting their personal stories, or asking super longwinded rambling questions. There's one interviewer I won't name who is always like "Yeah, I totally agree because..." and then sums up the entire answer the guest just gave. I guess at least it shows that he's listening, but it's annoying and unnecessary. Just ask the question and get out of the way. And when they're done, instead of barreling onto the next question or sycophantically agreeing with them, try to build organically off the guest's response. Remember, if you're conducting an interview show, people aren't tuning in to hear you. They're interested in the guest. All the biggest interviewers, whether you like them or not, have this talent of asking a question and getting out of the way.
    31
  1823. Rick's appraisal of Peter's playing might make Peter a bit big-headed, then he'll need a slice of Humble Pie.
    30
  1824. Haha! At 1:27 Ricks using my chord chart I made that became a 'meme' for a day which was sourced from my top 10 Hardest Allan Holdsworth chords vid! That was a nice surprise!
    30
  1825. I watch Rick Beato way more than I watch network TV. I am still trying to figure out how one man can have several lifetimes of knowledge at prodigy level in a single lifetime. Rick is a gift.
    30
  1826. I’ve seen numerous interviews with Robben through the years and this one may have topped them all. I think the difference is that being a knowledgeable and experienced musician yourself, there was a mutual respect or something. I’ve seen Robben interviewed at times where he just seemed uncomfortable with the interviewer, didn’t seem to open up and was even a little short with some of his responses. None of that in your interview, Rick, and by the way, great questions!
    30
  1827. I never comment on anything I watch on YouTube, so this is a first. Rick, I appreciate your talent and humility. This was such an awesome idea. I guess I date my musical taste when I say they were all great, but your Frampton solo spoke the loudest to me. Yours gave me goosebumps. Kudos to all the musicians for working on this. Your rhythm tracks were spot on. Keep educating us on all the great music.
    30
  1828. youtube has already killed"tv"
    30
  1829. You got a christmas present from Joni Mitchell.........and you had dinner with Joni Mitchell ........ I have never really considered myself to be the jealous type....UNTIL NOW.........Green I tell ya Green with envy. I bet Dave and Rhett are feeling a bit green as well. Congratulations Rick you deserve the suuccess the channel is having and all those artists you thanked should be thanking you for choosing them to bring to us in a way that is both entertaining and educational.
    30
  1830. This is probably one of your most important videos, Rick. You have a sense of your place in the world that many lack and you don't blow your own horn. You give credit to those who deserve it and you acknowledge their talents. We all meet people like Johnny in our own lives, but sometimes they don't recognize their own true gifts, but it sounds like you recognized it in Johnny. I'm sure he was proud of the work the two of you did, it's just too bad his personal struggles were so severe. Thank you for sharing these memories and giving inspiration to new generations of artists (and a few old ones too.) You are a gifted musician and teacher and you have no doubt inspired others to pursue their passions in the world of music. I learn something new every time I watch one of your videos and your book is a real testament to your craft, please keep them coming and thank you!
    30
  1831. This should be heard by younger musicians because they have no clue about what these senior musicians know, have experienced and can learn from them. A treasure you've done these interviews for everyone, Rick. You're a blessing to the history of music!
    30
  1832. All Rick has to do is sit back and smile. These two are pro talkers, they could go on forever. LOL! ; )*
    30
  1833. Listening to Rick's reverential analysis of the beauty of this song.. such a great way to negate all the stress of the day. We have been playing this for years off and on in a Friday night shed band I play with, but this has opened up this song to inspire such better bids. The string breakout at 8:10-8:30 gave me chills on my first listen. I have already watched this 3 times in a row.Thanks for this, Rick!
    30
  1834. *This IS the music that made growing up in the '70s so beyond amazing!!!* LOVE STEVIE...LOVE YOU!!!!!!  💗💗💗
    30
  1835. Strong scientific testing approach--change the players but keep everything but the string gauge THE SAME. Same amp, same speaker, same guitar. The thicker gauges sounded muddier to me. The 8s had a nice crispness. I'm sold.
    30
  1836. Through the history of man, pre current media outlets, one of the main/most important person in the tribe was the story teller. This was how the history and sustaining of the tribes traditions survived. Rick is our guy! As always, JD
    30
  1837. Dude! Thank you for doing this. She is really incredible. Had the pleasure of seeing Prince and Kravitz each once and she’s got that same energy. It’ll be fun to watch where she (or H.E.R.) takes it!
    29
  1838. “If you’re waiting for this song to go somewhere else, you’ll be waiting a long time” ! ! Had me laughing 😆
    29
  1839. found this Channel with episode one. as blink is my favorite band, the algorithm put it in my recommendations. Been with the channel since. It’s become a part of my regular life but I don’t take your content for granted. Thank you much. These videos are amazing and are very much appreciated!
    29
  1840. Rick, thank you so much for filling our time, minds, and hearts with some of the best interviews the world, and specifically, the music world has ever seen.
    29
  1841. it's 7:20 AM where I live. And I've started this gloomy autumn day with one of the most inspirational videos I've ever seen. Thank you for sharing this, Rick. And Rest In Peace, Mr. Peter Smart.
    29
  1842. Rick always has such great stories of triumph, trial, and error. It brings the human level of music and music making to all who watch his videos. Love this song so much as a kid.
    29
  1843. I was such a metal head in the 90's and always heard R.E.M. on the radio and scoffed. It wasn't until I hit my late 30's that I really appreciate their music and unconsciously know all the words to Losing my religion and that song hits me so hard now. Great interview as always @Rick Beato.
    29
  1844. This is what I love about this channel (and Rick) we go from Korn to Nirvana, to Joni. When someone asks what kind of music I like I tell them all kinds as long as it is good. A lot of folks say this but I find very few that actually do have a love for ALL music and can find something to appreciate in any genre or style. Thanks Rick.
    29
  1845. Rick, you are the best. We appreciate these special interviews you are doing. These have been amazing and listening to Jerry Cantrell is an absolute treat!
    29
  1846. Agree... The psychology of it is fascinating. The difference with you is that you're grounded and centered securely in your universe. There is an authenticity and genuine nature of your video approach that's not only refreshing for your viewers to watch.... But not overly exhaustive for you to produce. Thank you for sharing your corner of the world with us. Carry on, much love 💞😊
    29
  1847. How do you make great songs even greater? Let Rick Beato take you on a trip through the whole song. I love this song even more after watching.
    29
  1848. I’ve played this guitar in Rick’s studio, and it’s fast and bright and completely awesome. Congratulations on the release, my friend!
    29
  1849. Adam is one of my favorite guitar players and composers. I love every Swervedriver album!
    29
  1850. These interviews are some of the best I have ever heard, regardless of subject. Rick, your knowledge of the music, history and the work of those you speak with make these incredibly special. Your style of letting the musicians talk - playing the space - is just amazing and leaves us all with these gifts of insight and history. Thank you.
    29
  1851. Rick, this is best interview I've seen yet with Robben Ford. You asked great questions and afforded him the opportunity to really process them and respond. He did a great job of sharing his thoughts and experiences. Thank you both for this.
    29
  1852. This video is one that music fans, historians, musicologists, musicians, composers, producers…pretty much anyone…will cite as a reference for decades to come. This is special. Thank you Pat and thank you Rick for the thoughtful, deep insight, stories, and conversation.
    29
  1853. Again… This is the best channel on YouTube. What a privilege… Thank You Ron! Thank You Rick!
    29
  1854. Thank you Rick for allowing me to experience this interview vicariously through you. You are a FANTASTIC interviewer in the class of Terry Gross or any of the greatest. It’s because you (1) have and demonstrate great respect for those you interview (2) you are always meticulously prepared for each interview (3) you ask questions the interviewees appreciate - they’re not just fanboy questions, but yet (4) the fan in you alway comes out and allows your audience to enjoy the interview AS YOU ARE DOING IT. And finally you innovate the interview. That segment where you played the Solar performance was emotional for Keith as it was for everyone who watched your video. Watching his reactions was absolutely transcendent. You’ve really taken it to a new level. Bravo.
    29
  1855. Rick the Anthony Bourdain of music .. love your show it's great man !!
    29
  1856. The only reason she is still playing at 80+ is that she hasn't overdone the practice. Too much practice is not good, long term.
    29
  1857. Yeah!!! Steely Dan baby!!! now that's music written and played by musicians!
    29
  1858. Rick - yes, you are a storyteller. And the thing that ALWAYS comes through in all your episodes is your passion for music and for learning. It is a privilege to watch your channel. Thank you!
    28
  1859. Hey rick, Im a Charleston S.C. musician and producer, and i tell absolutely every musician and music fan i meet to tune into your page and subscribe. Great stuff brother, keep it up.
    28
  1860. Once again I was just going to watch the first few minutes then skip around. Watched it all. I knew about Skunk but never seen him in an interview. Made my day.
    28
  1861. Mr. Beato I will consider you to be at least partially successful in our mission. I'm a 19 year old college student and would have never listened to half of my favorite music if you weren't making these videos. And there are 20 other people to whom I've suggested this channel and it's content and who appreciate this kind of music now. So thank you.
    28
  1862. This interview has a direct music lesson for musicians of all sizes that has nothung to do with "AABA". Rick and Adam are creating the "music" out of thin air. They had no real structure or form, they just decided to wing it. This interview is so phenominal because they both listen to the other, they give each other space to feel it (talk), they support the other's "music" l, they sense when the "tune" is changing and go with it, and they are simply having fun. Having been a working musician since the 80's, I can promise you even experienced musicians can learn this lesson.
    28
  1863. Man this was just amazing, seeing Rick enjoy the song so much, me going "oooooh" at the same time as Rick, and never mind that Seal is IN the video.. this is one of my favorite episodes ever. Had to listen to it again with headphones, now im off to listen to the song by itself. Thank you so much Rick, you've made me appreciate music so much, and I keep learning. I swear I'm playing guitar better every day just by interpreting all these lessons from you. THANK YOU!!
    28
  1864. RB actually listens to who he interviews. This is his great strength.
    28
  1865. This really is one of the best series on youtube actually, maybe the best in music category
    28
  1866. Love that Rick can release educational/interview material on literally ANY style of music. Metal, Rock, Jazz, Classical, Pop, Progressive, Blues, Country, Instrumental etc. You name it, Rick can cover it, he can do it all.
    28
  1867. It's cool that Mary came for a visit with Rick while she's in the US. I love when there is crossover with some of my favorite YouTubers.
    28
  1868. finally somebody remembers the straight drums of the black album. People think it was Lars being kind of lazy or unskilled, but it was a precise choice, the opposite to AJFA. Great video Rick, but one can tell you missed the entire thrash guitar playing style back in the days. We love you anyway ;-)
    28
  1869. This is the kind of thing that keeps bringing me back to Rick's videos. He features the hidden gems in great songs that would otherwise be lost in the "noise" of history.
    28
  1870. Man Rick, you absolutely blow my mind, every time I think you’ve created the most epic interview you take it up to another level! I could not wipe the smile off my face the entire time. Rick I want to thank you for giving US some of the most incredible and personal views into the lives of some of the most iconic Giants of music, truly a pleasure and gift for all lovers of music! Thank You Sir!
    28
  1871. Rick, I subscribed to your show about a year or so ago and have found it extremely educational on so many musical levels. This day is exceptional for me as your heartfelt dedication to Peter Smart takes things to the humanness level in all of us. The great thing that is occurring with this video is your consideration for another human being and the nurturing that you and Peter developed over time. This allows a viewer to see the side of life from your perspective as Peter reached out to touch you, and you responded by answering his inquiry. You are certainly a very gifted musician on so many levels, but this takes things to a much more profound level. We are really just people on a planet trying our best to figure things out and express our heartfelt "art-felt" feelings through music on some level. I thank you for this eulogy for another fellow musician. Up to this point in time I have always felt rather intimidated on commenting because I know so little on the technical side of life. Learned what I could by ear and sort of hacked away to get music down on my guitar. Presently caregiver for my brother and was for my dad as he passed away in my arms some years ago. Having a loved one pass away is all to bittersweet. In my mind your happy because they are finally at rest, but for the living we miss them and their presence forever. Your videos are on many levels a surprise, one never knows what Rick will have in store for the day. Keep up the great imaginative work of teaching others what you know and touching lives in your natural way of magical wonder. Sincerely, Michael Moreau aka City Cowboy.
    28
  1872. You can see, at least I do, that this is not about $, this is about the love for music and passion for teaching.... Having access to this channel and to Rick's knowledge is a blessing!
    28
  1873. Holy crap, Rick! Just when I think you can't do a better interview, you top yourself! It was a joy to listen to Mr. Omartian speak about his illustrious career. Thank you sooo much!
    28
  1874. Rick, your relative pitch speed with it jumping in octaves is damn impressive.
    28
  1875. Probably one of the happiest days of my life, thank you for doing your best rick, im spechless. I just want stay silent for the whole video listening to this masterpierce and your interpretation, been waiting for this too long. Still have the original vinyl. Keep it up! A distant hug from a great fan.
    28
  1876. I know you loose money on these videos. Just want to say thank you I love these break downs. As a person who loves music and doesn't play anything they give me a greater enjoyment of my favorite songs.
    28
  1877. I'm not a musician but I like that you show the notes and play them as you're talking about them. It brings it all together, even for a non-musicians like myself. Thanks (and subscribed).
    28
  1878. I can't stand the Trap 16th's & 32 .. TR-808 hi-hats repetitive all the time. Even as a Hip Hop producer for over 20 years now I'm still tired of it! SMH. Originality true creativity need to be reintroduced to the industry once again!
    28
  1879. Rick, this has to be one of the most important drum videos made and will forever increase in value over time. Thank you so much for all that you do but on behalf of drummers around the world thank you especially for this.
    27
  1880. 3 very different interviews . 3 people in very different places on their paths. Congratulations Rick..Bravo
    27
  1881. And that folks, is how you do a MF'ing encore.
    27
  1882. All of these songs are popular from instagram and tik tok. Unfortunate times.
    27
  1883. The content from your channel, I am sure will studied, watched and archived for future generations. What a repository of everything music.
    27
  1884. Christ almighty man this was epic. Since finding your channel and this series I can no longer just listen music without listing to the production thanks for the epiphanies.
    27
  1885. What a great interview. With time it will become more and more important to the music world. It made me realize how I have forgotten how to just sit, listen and enjoy the musical collection I have built over the decades. Thank you Rick.
    27
  1886. Your vivid stories and the emotional joy behind them are a wonder to behold, Rick! You make YouTube safe for us obsessive musician types...
    27
  1887. When I was a kid we grew up reading liner notes on albums and then cassettes. Knowing what the big musicians were using meant a lot. For a long time it was Gibson, Fender, Marshall & a couple of others all around most of the time. It was easier to become brand loyal based on chasing the tones of the bigger artists. I never thought of Mesa as a "metal" amp. I guess because I heard that Prince used them. I don't know why they never capitalized on that fact. Even some big country artists used Mesa. They never capitalized on that either. Garth Brooks uses a PRS that Zack from Shinedown gave to him. Yeah having it all in a stomp box or on a computer takes away from being able to compare & truly hear the differences in amps and pedals. Most kids will never know what it's like to feel the rumble of a Marshall ripping your guts out or the smooth warmth of a Fender Twin. Most of today's production takes away from that because so much of the production sounds the same. It's all so compressed that it squeezes the life from the music.
    27
  1888. This is what sets you apart from a lot of other YouTubers Rick. You’re here for the Peter Smarts of this world not just the Stings and the Joni Mitchells. Keep on doing what you’re doing! From another old guy guitarist from England.
    27
  1889. Rick, you take out the best of musicians in the interviews. This one is gold. Congrats 👏
    27
  1890. underrated : billy duffy Plus he is the living definition of nice bloke
    27
  1891. Sir - came here through Mary Spender's channel. I can not play a lick on any instrument if I tried...and I have tried. Videos with people playing or singing with passion make me cry, nearly every time. Thank you for sharing a little of what is behind the music. It make it all the more meaningful. Peace to you.
    27
  1892. I have 2 complaints. 1st, this vid was not long enough. 2nd, I love when Rick plays along and i wish he had added his special touch here. He brings another dimension of sight and sound. I have every release of this song that I can listen to anytime I want . Watching Rick show the same love of this masterpiece takes it to a whole other level. Now, if you’ll excuse me I have to go and watch this a few more times...just in case. I wish I could give this a gaziillion thumbs up.
    27
  1893. You are not old Rick. For the record, you are younger than a young person really.
    27
  1894. this is an anthropological and cultural treasure. Amazing insights into a series of events and the genesis of a few songs that changed the face of music. If only Kurt and Chris could have been here for this conversation too...but somehow, while watching this...it feels as though they are still with us. Maybe a reminder that they'll never be gone. I am grateful for Jack, Kim and Krist's candor and willingness to retread ground that must still be surrounded by HEAVY feelings. Absolute living legends
    27
  1895. As a Youtuber with 75K subscribers, I'm not in the echelon that you're talking about. However, I did make one of those "I'm quitting" videos so that my regular viewers would know what was going on. I got tired of making less and less money from YouTube even though I wasn't doing anything differently. I still have 500 plus guitar, mandolin, & uke lessons on my channel. One of my lessons has over 2 million views. That video plus others still brings me private guitar students and people to my shows so I'm happy with that. I'm no longer busting my hump posting lots of videos simply because some expert told me that's the way to riches. Rick, I enjoy your videos so keep on keeping on.
    27
  1896. KIng's X - Dogman, D7#9 punches you in the face
    27
  1897. While I agree with your sentiment that nothing lasts forever, might I offer a different idea… you are SO entertaining to listen to, not just in your music analysis (which you have presented so well on this channel), but in particular when you interview (citing your recent Matt Cameron conversation as an amazing example). I would LOVE to see you enter a new phase in your career where you have that “Inside the Actor’s Studio” feel with musicians, producers, etc. to get in their head about what they are thinking when they are doing their job well. You have this innate ability to understand each step in the music making process and bring those elements to light from the artist through your conversation with them without being sensational, being present in the dialogue, and staying true to their artistry. You do great work, dude-it seems like you have just scratched the surface!
    27
  1898. It's time for Time-Life to make Rick's 100 Great Songs into a CD collection, with 4 easy payments.
    27
  1899. When you post an interview I drop everything. The best, pure and simple.
    27
  1900. Keith Jarrett is the Beethoven of our time. He is truly a genius in the true sense of the word. And I can attest that he lit my passion for jazz when I was a kid. I am so happy to have been able to see him perform with his incomparable trio in Toronto at the Roy Thompson Hall some years ago. That was one of the most memorable performances of my life. A magical night that will always be with me.
    27
  1901. Rick can you please do something similar with Scofield!!!
    27
  1902. I was never into Queen during their time in the spot light. These days I rate them with Beatles and Stones. Really a fantastic video I have watched over and over and over . . .Please keep going with this Rick. Love ur work.
    27
  1903. "A wise son listens to his father's counsel.: " Good job Mr. B
    27
  1904. Well done Rick! Billy has this awesome balance between technical proficiency/technical interest and gut feel (the voice in his head!) that appeals so strongly to me. Thank you Billy for spending time with Rick for us - the 43 y.o. fans who sit in cubicles. ;)
    27
  1905. Rick, sincerely, you do the best interviews I’ve ever seen or heard. This was an amazing interview with one of the greats and one of every bass player’s hero. You ask the right questions and then just let him talk uninterrupted. Thank you for spending your time and experience making this incredible channel!
    26
  1906. 7:27 Wow, that sounds fantastic!
    26
  1907. Been watching you for years and never commented. This is what it’s all about. It’s so great to hear a guy who has so much real world experience talk. For me Sting was a great interview, but Dave and his unique skill set is what it’s all about. All people need to understand the importance of a guy like this! You might not know his name, but he is easily as professional and proficient as any of the great musicians he worked for. They knew this and that’s why they keep hiring him. Incredible interview, one of the best yet. Congratulations ❤
    26
  1908. Rick, your ability to figure that out and then play it was pretty damn amazing. The cool part was listening to what you did with the concept, not just playing the actual lick itself! Fantastic video! Thanks for sharing!
    26
  1909. Fantastic stuff. These interviews are by and far the best material on your channel, and that's saying a lot.
    26
  1910.  @CarlMonday69  I'm sure he has heard of her, he's just having trouble reading off of the screen and misread it.
    26
  1911. It's been really cool to watch how this channel has grown over the last five years. The people that Rick introduced who are in the background play an important role in what is presented. Thank you to the whole crew.
    26
  1912. Actual tears. Thanks RIck for taking music to the next level. Telling these stories is hugely important. Thanks a million.
    26
  1913. The biggest compliment I can give is that I am not even a big jazz fan, but I watched every second of this video and was mesmerized. Great interview.
    26
  1914. First I cried for your Aunt, now I cried for your mom. I'm lucky to have people in my life like that too. I wish everyone could.
    26
  1915. Rick has truly built a great channel but these interviews with Sting, Maynard and the latest Kris and Kim have shown Rick is next level with interviews. Keep up the great work!
    26
  1916. I have followed Rick on and off for a couple of years now. I have thoroughly enjoyed his videos but I sometimes thought he might be missing the big picture by digging too deep into the technical side of music and songwriting. Boy was I wrong. Joni's songs have often brought me to tears too. But so did Rick's unabashed and deeply insightful presentation in this video. Thank you Rick. Ringing the bell now.
    26
  1917. I loved the sound of this guy’s guitars and vocals since Facelift dropped and I picked it up on CD and got the free VHS tape along with it lol - thank you so much for interviewing him!
    26
  1918. The entire interview had me grinning from ear to ear the entire time. Wow.
    26
  1919. It is amazing. I've never been blown away by a YouTube channel until I came across Rick's channel. It is educational, entertaining, professional, interesting, there is tons and tons of variety, there is variety within the variety....and then he goes beyond all that and has the great "Sounding off" guests as well! :) It's really 5 channels in one. Thanks Rick, good stuff.
    26
  1920. Rick, I was so excited to meet you and see Lee Sklar again after Lyle Lovett's show, that I forgot to thank you for turning me on to Lee with your first interview with him during the pandemic. Thank you! Lee Sklar is truly a global ambassador of music and humanity. He is such a nice, friendly guy and I appreciate his history with music in Japan being that I'm of Japanese descent. And Lee is such a humble guy. If you add pictures of all the people in the world who like him into his book, "Everybody Loves Me", it would be the biggest book in the world! Thank you again, and I look forward to seeing more nice musicians you will introduce to us in September as well as yourself.
    26
  1921. BTW Rick, you did a phenomenal job on your interview/chat room there. The seating, lamps, artwork, color choice are all just perfect. 👍
    26
  1922. Well, if there was a Grammy and an Oscar for the interviews you and others have done, they would name it the Rick Beato/Al DiMeola award for most valuable content. All your stuff is great, but this one had some magic goin' on!
    26
  1923. I seldom comment on your channel, but I so enjoyed your story of growing up surrounded by music, music teachers, music lessons and the encouragement of your parents. What a gift!
    26
  1924. Hey Rick! I just want you to know that your channel is helping me in the process of becoming a better musician. I'm playing for about 10 years now, but never took it so serious about the theory stuff. Your videos are really enjoyable and helpful. Thank you and keep this awesome work. Rob
    26
  1925. Rick, I sat down & said let’s see what’s on your channel. I see Mike & didn’t budge. Watched it twice. I had a smile on my face when he said you remind him of his teacher. I saw Mike at the Bottom Line with Bob Berg, Dennis Chambers & Lincoln Goines. Incredible. Any new guitarist should watch videos of Mikes solos. He’s like a conductor when he solo’s. He starts so mellow, then he just accelerate’s. Clicks on his distortion & takes it out to the twilight zone. I’m not a guitarist but just love your channel Rick thank you again. Long live the memory of Jaco!
    26
  1926. Great vid...loved how you had different guys play because we all know the person is definitely a big part of the mix. So....can you do this with acoustic guitars...please?
    26
  1927. Rick, you did it again. I sound like a broken record, but to see and hear the comfort level and respect that your interview guests show you is a true testament to your professionalism. Once again, I wasn’t familiar with your guest, but as with all of your other interviews, I found myself hanging on every word. Well done!
    26
  1928. I’ve been thinking about making a YouTube channel for a long time and still I’m hesitant. I don’t want to play the trend game or the algorithm game. I just want to explore my creative side. I personally have never watched one of your videos but this popped up on my algorithm. This is EXACTLY what I needed to hear. Thank you so much. I can truly see why you’re so successful, you’re just being you and the best way, in my opinion, to be unique, is to be yourself. Thank you for making this video and your time.🙏🏿
    26
  1929. This video is a love letter to my soul! Swervedriver are sublime. Adam is the patron saint of guitars to me.
    26
  1930. hello rick, yes, jonny was instrumental in helping me get one of my early EP’s After You recorded in charleston, which Eric Bass produced, it was ‘worship’ which was not their typical genre, but what they brought helped make it a much better project. It was a sad day when i heard the news. Thanks for honouring Jonny in this way and keeping his story alive. martin chalk
    26
  1931. Fascinating! What a genius. I learned more about music, business, and culture from this one interview than in four years of college. Thank you Rick and Ted for sharing your knowledge and insights.
    26
  1932. This is friggin’ amazing! The possibilities seem endless. By putting one’s knowledge of the concepts to good use, but in the end, going where your ear wants to take you, one can essentially create something brand new each time, just playing an old standard. Thanks so much Rick for the great lesson and sharing your insights!!
    26
  1933. I'm a cook in a retirement home, and these are terrible times. Our elderly have so much to offer. They may have already lived a full life, but that is what makes them so precious - they have a lifetime of experience to share with us, and so little time. I'm glad that you took some of that time to let your Aunt Penny share with you. I'm so sorry for your loss.
    26
  1934. Good to see Rick got verified on YouTube.
    26
  1935. "Never did so many do so little with so much, for so long..."
    26
  1936. Rick and Tim please make this a series. I watch and sub to both channels and love you both separately however, when the two of you get together in this context Rick seems to always be able to coax these amazing memories out Tim that he might not of shared on his own channel. Out of these conversations come some truly magical and brilliant gold nuggets for us to mine, if we listen as a student rather then as entertainment. Case is point it awesome to hear that Tim thinks about spread triads as the backbone and the wet lightly strummed chords as the color, most of us would think about it the other way around, he didn’t directly say that but you could feel it when he was talking and demonstrating. Then he makes reference to opposites and how he always incorporates this method to get the big and full sounds. It true opposites do attract! And the nugget about playing a loud amp soft! Pure gold Tim! That is an industry secret that many of us has known but wouldn’t tell, like revealing a magic trick to your audience. That is passing the baton and sharing decades of knowledge. This is an honest look into the mindset of a gifted producer and a world class studio musician and how they communicate. Well done guys!
    25
  1937. Rick, you evolved from amazing tutorial content to creating important historical documents, what a contribution you have already made!
    25
  1938. Rick, Cesar hit it. I am a university professor (I teach negotiation). Your "pedagogical method" is commendable. After watching your 8 minute lessons, I note myself simplifying my lectures, building in enthusiastic hooks into my presentations. Your fan loyalty must derive from that sound educational instinct. Kudos.
    25
  1939. And this is why I love Rick.. When he asks about Red Rain and Lanois go "Well, we can talk about sounds and..." Looking away a little bit thinking of the depth and complexity. That moment could SO EASILY turn into just brushing past it and going on to something else because the interviewer would read it as too involved and uninteresting. Instead Rick recognizes it as a really rare chance to actually get him to open up about the heart of what is interesting, the magic behind these legendary recordings, a peak into the mind of a genius... and goes "Talk about sounds!" Thanks man!!
    25
  1940. I haven't the foggiest idea how this video came to be suggested to me. I'm sitting here crying. Little things told me to keep listening. Peter was born in 1930, the same year as my father was born. Peter passed on August 20th, my birthday. Like a whisper - "listen". I don't seek musicians out, but I'm learning to listen when they speak. I could not begin to explain all the things that brought forth this idea in me - learning to sing acappella in church as a kid; a novel I read; my mother's intimate relationship with the Word of God in the six weeks between her first stroke and her death; Mozart's last Requiem ("call me among the blessed"), none of it being as spectacular or pretentious as it must sound. But the thought was that if God spoke us into being, then it was the vibration of His voice that breathed life into everything. He could take a lump of clay and turn it into the sound waves of His voice. Meaning we are God's music. That is why musicians and singers - the wise men and women who study these vibrations - can make even those of us who feel like lumps of clay remember that we were spoken into being. It's a thought anyway. My father passed on August 7, 2020. He was a hard man who had forgotten who I was by the time he died. So there was no last loving moment or reconciliation. He wasn't like Peter or even Rick. But in a better time, Daddy did introduce me to "How Great Thou Art" in 4-part harmony. He introduced me to Bing Crosby, Perry Como, John Denver, Lawrence Welk, and Hee Haw on Saturday nights. Plus letting my brother and I play one side of a Beach Boys album on our record player as we lay in our beds trying to go to sleep. It wasn't a bad start to understanding that music is part of everything. And so now, because this video popped up in my feed, I've shared part of my grief journey on unsuspecting people. I'm sorry, Rick, for the loss of your friend. As a little lump of clay who needed some reminders, thank you to you and all of your followers who help make it possible for you to be here. xo c

  1941. Rick, your interviews are priceless. You are a true musician the way you coax sound out of your subjects. Never getting in the way of their solos. And we learn so much about your guests on such a personal level.
    25
  1942. That writer sounds like poser hipster crud.
    25
  1943. The best part of the interview for me was as a father of a son that is set to graduate from high school was the conversation about what career path to seek for new adults. In this time of uncertainty about what the future looks like with the apparent possibility of the influx of AI technology and the prospect of most of us becoming replaced. Even if I cannot get him to watch this to say whatever path you choose is okay, I will gain the perspective as a father to support him wherever life takes him.
    25
  1944. Nobody does videos like this guy. They are always enjoyable and informative. I mean, really informative.
    25
  1945. 12 string: also Gordon Lightfoot
    25
  1946. This is incredible, such an important document.
    25
  1947. Being hearing impaired and using hearing aids I was told I would have inherent difficulties learning music by ear, but this was so easy to follow and understand. Thank you, it's always a joy to watch your videos and learn.
    25
  1948. Swervies!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG so happy you are featuring this band. Mezcal Head is one of my favorites of all time!
    25
  1949. Interviews with these monster players are amazing. Seriously, I always tell my students to watch these interviews, because they will actually show what these fantastic players think and what musical philosophies are out there. Maybe Stevie Wonder is on the list at some point? Or Donald Fagen from Steely Dan?
    25
  1950. I never comment anything i see on youtube but this video interview was so beautiful and amazing. I learned so much. Just pure gold. Love every minute. Devin i freaking love you and you deserve heaven, my boy. Thank you, Rick.
    25
  1951. Rick’s dad fascinates me. I personally have never met a non-musician that is seriously into jazz
    25
  1952. Aaron Neville was thinking, I'm taking that guitar and shove it where there ain't no sunshine.
    25
  1953. Rick, I'm not a musician, I just dabble a little, but I love music and always believed understanding how it's made allows me to appreciate it more. You're channel fills my heart with joy. Thank you for doing what you do.
    25
  1954. Rick, you haven’t even hit your full stride yet brother. Keep doing what your doing. BIGGER things to come for you. You’re so informative/instructional and entertaining!! Request: Keep interviewing legends! It’s so great to watch you converse with them all and you do a GREAT job of listening and letting them express...whatever they have to express! Looking forward to seeing you in Seattle in a few weeks!
    25
  1955. I do believe that’s the first Beato air violin-ing I’ve seen. I liked it. :)
    25
  1956. Congratulations, Rick. This is just awesome. I am a huge Sting fan. I’ve seen tens/hundreds of interviews. I can say this one is the Holy Grail of all interviews to rock legends. Unbeatable. Thank you so much.
    25
  1957. Been involved in many genres of music and performance most of my 55 years. The amount I’ve learned on Rick’s channel is staggering. To the point I’d say it is essential viewing for any one involved in any music or performance - or who likes it.
    25
  1958. I met Rick a couple of weeks ago and he IS a good guy! ;) Man this is the coolest interview ever. Gregg is so impactful in the drumming community and apparently just as impactful in conversation. What an energetic and fruitful collaboration here! edit: I should add Gregg's drumspeak is just second to none! HA!
    24
  1959. So nobody is ever going to agree on any ranking of anything Led Zeppelin, but I agree with the comments - so awesomely played and a ton of fun to listen to. Love your channel.
    24
  1960. I'm not sure who was smiling more during this interview - Rick or myself. :D
    24
  1961. YOOO, as a Portuguese, Maro's wide recognition is long overdue, she's incredibly talented. Thanks for her mention Rick!
    24
  1962. "You guys know I'm into hyperbole." You said it, not me!
    24
  1963. Far and away the best Sting interview I’ve ever heard and I’ve heard many many. Sting was so expansive and free. Bravo to the interviewer.
    24
  1964. Rick is a master interviewer. He does his homework, asks great questions, and shows a genuine interest. Pat is a master musician who is articulate, and there is much to be learned by listening to him. I especially liked his personal decision to not used substances. So many musicians tell tall tales of their abuse and rehab stints- which has gotten very old. This was one of the best, informative interviews I have ever watched. Time to listen to more of Pat’s virtuoso music.
    24
  1965. My dad's been a giant Keith Jarrett (with Jack & Peacock) fan for decades. My dad just turned 83 and seemingly went downhill overnight mentally/physically with his dementia which got way worse with his type 2 diabetes this month. Caregiver & all. My mom won't even let me speak to him on the phone yet. Bummed out about it. I'll miss him driving us around & playing Keith constantly. Wanted him to see this interview. Hopefully he'll still digest it, because I know he'd absolutely love it.
    24
  1966. I've been a metal head, classic rock guy my whole life, but have loved this song since the day it came out. Never realized how much was going on in this tune! Great breakdown man!
    24
  1967. With all of your interviews, Rick, I feel like you've now checked all the boxes in giving credit where credit is due to all the folks behind the scenes (producers, sound engineers, composers, etc).... The soundmen at these live shows are worth their weight in gold, and once a band gets outside of the studio they rely on these talented folks to make them sound incredible to all of us! Great interview!
    24
  1968. Rick's greatest achievement might be as a music historian. Yet another grand slam of an interview. Derek is such an amazing cat. He used to hang and play with Mcoy and Elvin! thank you Rick for asking great questions and then letting him talk, and talk and talk..
    24
  1969. Holy sh*t. I am a 60-year-old music fanatic and I have listened to and loved Pat Metheny's music for literally decades. Thank you Rick for bringing legends like Pat into the "here and now" zeitgeist. I also think that I may deserve a few + Internets for the use of "zeitgeist" in a relevant sentence. At any rate, this is an instant classic interview.
    24
  1970. You hit the nail on the head. When an album is essentially "free", there is no value.
    24
  1971. Glad they put this back up. I used to work in 'the biz' in A&R, nearly two decades ago - they still have literally no idea what they are doing. Never have. Keep doin' their job for them Mr Beato! Joni is a proper genius. I play 'Edith and the Kingpin' in my car pretty much every day.
    24
  1972. Ron is one of my biggest musical heroes. I've heard many an interview with him, but this is, by far, the best especially with the discussion of the the more technical elements of playing and recording. Rick, you have outdone yourself! Thank you!
    24
  1973. The Verve - Urban Hymns
    24
  1974. This is just incredible!!! Rick, these interviews are absolute treasures and should be preserved for eternity. Wow! I should be doing something else right now, and thought I'll only listen to the first few minutes...but here I am and still haven't stopped.
    24
  1975. Congratulations for this interview, Rick! We all know you're a big fan (and so are we!!) so this must have felt very rewarding. A big milestone for you. Well done!
    24
  1976. he started out with a single viral video and transformed it into a globaly relevant interview series. Incredible work.
    23
  1977. This video was one of your most profound and interesting I've ever watched so far...not only on this channel..thank you
    23
  1978. "Just listen without demands and expectations."
    23
  1979. Awesome breakdown of some iconic music! I must say, Mr. Beato, the thing I love the most about your channel is your passion and enthusiasm for all things musical. But also? Your multi-instrumental abilities, perfect pitch, and patience for explaining without a trace of condescension are appreciated, as there are some watchers, myself included, who do not read music. It is so cool to see someone really doing what moves them for a living. Thank you for your enjoyable creative content!
    23
  1980. Rick, you are picking ALL the right people to interview, it's amazing. I was thinking you should try to get John Williams on here too, you'd be the perfect person to ask him about his compositional proces.
    23
  1981. Rick, you are so my hero. Seriously, I cannot thank you enough. I had a big goofy smile the entire time. I had been looking forward to this one. My car broke down today and I didn't even care because I was so wrapped up in this video 😎
    23
  1982. As a pro recording engineer , I was tracking a very long piece (5 music stands) for Gerald Veasley bassist for Grover Washington Jr. when a small school tour visited our facility around noon. As a precaution, I put the 24 Track 2” Tape machine into safe mode. ( For those who don’t know this is basically a practice setting to play your part or overdubs without actually committing to Record) now Safe Mode looks identical on the board and meters as actual record except for for one small light and and small switch. So we get back to work and I hit Record and Gerald nails ten pages of sheet music into an amazing medly. Well ... Ooooops !! .....Still in safe mode. So I go to playback and finally realize and Shazam!!! I was instantly transformed into.....”The Incredible Shrinking Engineer” Gerald was amazingly humble about the bumble and said don’t worry Dave, I got a better one in me. And so he did. But I remained 2 inches tall for the rest of the session.
    23
  1983. What an extraordinary gift this was--Rick's questions are, as always, perfectly pitched, and Mr Carter brims with wit, charm, humanity and, above all, an extraordinary wealth of musical knowledge. A true delight.
    23
  1984. I am just an anonymous oik in the UK who doesn't understand musical theory. However, I watch shedloads of your videos and and they are a sheer joy to watch. You ooze humanity, charisma and wisdom. On top of your obvious musical skills, of course.
    23
  1985. I think I could figure out how to speak Mandarin before I can figure out this guitar part.
    23
  1986. I was missing these videos. We old time Beato fans want more of this :)
    23
  1987. RICK - Most impressive how you quickly analyzed the intricate 'reharmonization' of Roses/Picardy. Most impressive, sir. And, thank you. I've seen this easy yet profound interview previously, and kind of forgotten about it. Makes me wonder how Dick Cavett came up with his knowledge and questions . . . Oscar responded as the giant he was. WoW !! You just did musicians and listeners a HUGE favor, Rick. Great program.
    23
  1988. All your interviews are based on respect for the musician and his biography, talent and creativity. Nowadays, there are hardly any other fields outside music where this respect for the artist and his genius is lived. This attitude is noticeable in all your interviews. I would like to thank you for that.
    23
  1989. Christmas is the only exposure most of the millennials get to the greats, Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Andy Williams etc...sure great singers come and go, but who actually changes music? Bing Crosby did. So did Frank Sinatra, and Elvis. These are the people who should be known throughout society for their contribution to the world.
    23
  1990. Another episode of Beato Story Time! 😃
    23
  1991. I love the fact that Rick doesn't give a "flying f**k" about record company idiots that will most likely want this video taken down. Love you Rick...I'm sure your channel fans support you pushing back against the idiots that have ruined the once great music industry.
    23
  1992. I have to thank you for introducing me to Swervedriver and Shoegazing in general! I was a bit young when this came out, but this would have totally been what I would have listened to.
    23
  1993. 13:26 "I love guitars that sounds like this, sounds like buzzsaws - I mean in a positive way" Oh, man, Rick you really need to check out Entombed (Wolverine Blues!!!), Dismember, Nihilist and some of the 90s swedish death metal acts!
    23
  1994. i gotta say though i think the reason so many of us disregard a lot of this stuff is because all the parts that are GOOD about it are because of everyone EXCEPT for the people that put their name on it
    23
  1995. With as much energy as Paul has, putting him in the same room as Greg Bissonette would cause the cameras to malfunction. Just a warning, Rick. Cool interview!
    23
  1996. I like how videos like this are a lot like your old videos where you really got into technique and theory. I love your new videos too (keep them interviews coming!), but it's nice to see you not straying too far from your roots either.
    23
  1997. I am so honored to know you two, and I never cease to be amazed at your knowledge, experience, and enthusiasm. Thank you for all you both do!
    23
  1998. Thank you, Rick, for this and all your videos. So enjoy your genuine enthusiasm and the respect that comes through all your productions. My dad was a music teacher, and were he still with us, he’d LOVE your videos. Peace.
    22
  1999. I love all content on your channel Rick, but these interviews you do with these legends are so unique…b-c of the knowledge and background you bring….I think it is something only you can do. I’ve never heard these artist interviewed in this way…and as an artist…these are the questions we want asked. When it is all said and done…this will be your legacy, these gems.
    22
  2000. Thomas Newman's compositions are like emotional landscapes that resonate deep within the soul. His music possesses this inexplicable ability to paint vivid pictures of the heart. It's as if each note carries a story, whispering emotions that words simply can't convey. From the evocative scores of 'Shawshank Redemption' to the enchanting tunes of '1917' Newman's mastery is undeniable. He doesn't just compose; he orchestrates emotions. In my book, he's not just the best of our time; he's the maestro sculpting soundscapes that linger long after the credits roll.
    22
  2001. Seriously, your videos are going to end up as an archive in the digital equivalent of the Smithsonian, because the content and delivery is what makes them great.
    22
  2002. One of the finest interviews of a significant musician whose impact will be felt for generations to come. Thank you Rick, no one else would have been able to create such a wonderful and significant piece of musical history. I know how difficult it is to create content like this and I would urge all who enjoy this content to support this channel with their pockets as I will be. I’d also urge manufacturers and retailers to sponsor these videos.
    22
  2003. Not many people would have the courage to document this very personal moment in their lives and open their heart to millions of people. I feel your loss as I too have lost great friends in the past and ask myself the question 'WHY?' No one can answer that, but we must remember them for what they were and for the joy they brought us! On a different note, and with regards to your previous video on blocking and demonetizing, It would be interesting to find out the 'before' and 'after' data from itunes and Spotify on the bands that you mention in this video. I will definitely be purchasing the Crowfields album ' Goodbye, Goodnight, So long Midwestern' based on the clips you had on this video. I have never heard of them until now and if other viewers have the same curiosity as me then I'm sure you will be able to take the data to Washington and shove it up the Eagles ass!! Keep up the great work Rick, 2 million is on its way soon!!
    22
  2004. Just...wow. This moved me. At first, when I heard the idea I wondered why anyone would want to mess with one of the, if not the most, iconic guitar solos in history. Then I watched the video and I was blown away. Amazing to see how true artists can take something already profound and make it their own. Thanks Rick for such a great channel.
    22
  2005. I believe both Ted and Rick are genuine, humble and incredibly experienced and intelligent people, not to mention experts in their field. I believe people gravitate towards their way of communicating their respective subjects is because they come across as truthful and GENIUNE. Honesty is so refreshing today that it will absolutely be sought out, as well as wisdom and knowledge. This one was great as was the first one with Ted, I felt like I was the third person sitting at the table and so enthralled with the subject matter that I had no desire to join in the conversation!!
    22
  2006. You are wonderful Rick, rigorous and childlike all at once.
    22
  2007. I don’t get all the guys who comment “Have you forgot Xxxx?” “You should have Yyyyy on this list”, and so on. This is Rick’s list. I f you don’t like it, make your own.
    22
  2008. Rick- you've become the modern day Dick Cavett- for musicians. Great interview! This is an invaluable service you are performing
    22
  2009. Rick - your are a musical treasure and one of the main reasons I cancelled cable. You inspire, teach, share, with an authenticity that is rare these days. Thank you. I will be diving into Alan’s music, as soon as I finish typing this.
    22
  2010. Well, I have a perfect pitch. Must say that without deepest knowledge of theory, harmony, polyphony, without huge experience and years of practice as performer and conductor he wouldn't be able to compose the music. He is one of the greatest musicians in history.
    22
  2011. omg that kit!
    22
  2012. Best English band of the 90's
    22
  2013. What a complete treasure of an interview. The joy in your face being able to interview a living legend , while still asking poignant questions... consummate professionals. Thank you.
    22
  2014. This episode is a gorgeous teaching moment. The chord colors are so rich and inspiring. Thank you Rick. Roger Dennis
    22
  2015. Seeing 148 dislikes means your egos are being threatened because of ignorance. I'm telling you, open your mind a little, keep watching Rick's posts and take one theory class. If you can't afford it, that's okay. This site has the whole thing for free! (It helps if you buy something) Take small bites and just maybe, you'll come to understand why Rick means it when he says this song is GREAT. It absolutely is. We're all pulling for you 148. Rick sure is.
    22
  2016. Not really sure how I missed your breakdown this song, Rick. In my all time top five, not only a fun song, because of the complexities you’ve demonstrated. Love it. Now I’ll be listening to this all day. So, yeah, thanks for that...
    22
  2017. Testimony to Rick's talent is how comfortable people feel around him and how happy they are talking to someone that they know really understands and loves music, from new artists to titans like Gilmour and Zimmer. So glad I give this channel a go many years ago. It just keep giving and giving!
    22
  2018. “Time travel”= why I love music so much! 🥰👍🏻📝🧐
    22
  2019. You're an excellent interviewer Rick - you ask quality, interesting and relevant questions, then you let the guest talk. A lost art ;)
    22
  2020. My hero Luke! The vibrato on the last note of the “won’t hold you back” solo is to die for
    22
  2021. One of the most in depth and technically intricate yet easy to follow interviews, I must say Rick, just like Dick Cavett interviewing Oscar Peterson. Really wonderful interview Rick, one for the ages. 💜💜💜
    22
  2022. Your channel is very natural and very well produced. How you speak so fluidly, articulately and off the cuff is a true talent. I am not a fan of overproduced, scripted shows. I've basically given up watching most TV, TBH. YouTube is my go-to entertainment for the past few years now. Keep up the great work Rick. Love that yellow shirt too, wish I knew what brand it was.
    22
  2023. It was Pat Metheny's guitar solo in that live performance that I found hauntingly beautiful in this song. And then the chord progression, and then the lyrics of course. This is my second comment on Rick Beato's channel because I have enjoyed his videos without thanking, and here I couldn't leave without thanking. I was expecting him to comment on that solo though.
    22
  2024. I can only play the keyboard, but here I sit watching you practice on the guitar...and find myself enjoying it. Love your channel!
    22
  2025. I was in the middle of the worst guitar solo i have ever played, on a song i had never heard before. Small stage,tiny club..i look up and Daniel is sitting within spitting distance. Completely sucking in front of a legend...priceless. Great interview Rick and Dan!
    22
  2026. Rick saying "THANK YOU!!! GOODNIGHT!!" and the end of the vid was amazing!!! You can just TELL by the look on his face in his mind's eye he was LIVE on stage playing in front of a massive crowd!! PRICELESS!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘 DON'T EVER STOP DOING WHAT YOU DO RICK!!! THE WORLD IS BETTER FOR IT!! KEEP MUSIC ALIVE!!!
    22
  2027. The song is as refined as Kiss from a Rose by Seal
    21
  2028. Especially love the stories that involve my home town of Ithaca, and upstate NY.
    21
  2029. Its one of the few times i've actually sat and watched a three hour interview and not faded out. so great to have an interview that is not to a pre agreed agenda set by a PR person, just about the creation of great music. Great job Rick and Daniel, hope there are more to come.
    21
  2030. Absolutely hilarious seeing the clearly newer audience of people not taking to this, Rick covering this kind of stuff way back when is what hooked me well before the channel exploded, what made me get the Beato Book - “I don’t like this kind of music”, “nails on a chalkboard”. Good grief hahahaha. I wish Rick did more of this coverage again, learning about complex music -> AI rants
    21
  2031. I was at the Seattle show last weekend, and when he said “It’s a music appreciation channel”, it really did ring a bell with me and apparently everyone else. Beautifully said.
    21
  2032. I had always heard that Beethoven had gone deaf, and it was amazing to me that he could still compose. But your explanation was so much more compelling that it drove me to tears; The sheer genius and determination of the man! Thank You for this. Please, make more like this!
    21
  2033. All Americans should appreciate you leveraging your influence in this way and working to create the right outcomes using the system as intended. That's how it's done. Proud of you, brother!
    21
  2034. As an interviewer myself, I think that Rick perfected the craft of precisely reading the person. You need to be prepared, both emotionaly and technicaly to get things going. Moving Sting, which is renowned for his awkwardness and unpredictable behavior and temper, is a real achievement. High class material, and a huge quality content in so many ways, no matter if you are a musician or not. And, the fact Rick has no paper, no notes, nor is making any kind o signalling for some of his crew, carrying on the format of a layd back conversation, helps a lot to get at some points that most reporters or experienced journalists only coud dream of. By getting rid of a rigid structure of topics, he resonates with the guest, literally "jamming", with words, questions and themes. So, yes my good people. That's how it is masterly and properly done.
    21
  2035. Rick is a masterful interviewer, no surprise. He leaves space for the answer and doesnt try to insert himself into it. But he also knows the best questions to ask. And he asks them in a quizzical way with respect that gets a seasoned artist to get excited about answering it. It these magic moments that let us see the creation of music.
    21
  2036. Rick, the combination of pure joy I felt as you excitedly unveiled so many magical elements, coupled with the sheer beauty of the song and Seal’s vocals brought tears. Having Seal participate was the icing on the cake. Best episode yet, thank you!
    21
  2037. Rick, never have I felt more easy enjoyment and sublime satisfaction watching your analysis from this series. Clearly Nirvana has a very large place in your heart. Thank You.
    21
  2038. I wish rick was my music teacher in school. Dude really has a way to capture these songs. Nice work ✌️
    21
  2039. Rick, I love that you did this.
    21
  2040. Even her name Penny Rose is pure poetry.
    21
  2041. Any of Pat Thrall's solos when he was with Pat Travers. Talk about underrated.
    21
  2042. This is the other thing I find people don't know about you... you have excellent educational programs out there and you make them super affordable. Thank you.
    21
  2043. honestly the two tracks hard panned just sound amazing together.
    21
  2044. It is rare to see interviews with great musicians that are not just superficial. Rick Beato always manages to use his knowledge to make great interviews both interesting and educational. One can feel the enthusiasm and the honesty all the way through and he manages to get the musicians to open doors that no one ever before have seen behind. Best youtube channel ever!
    21
  2045. Rick Beato is bringing back respect and passion with these interviews to all the greats that inspired us. Its Historic musical archives. Thank you so much!
    21
  2046. Literally sharing these moments with you, Rick, it just feels like when I used to sit with friends to listen to new songs/albums and enjoy figuring out what they were playing, exchanging ideas and opinions, rewinding over and over... just a pleasure doing it with you. Thanks!
    21
  2047. This is great. I’m really digging these one to one interviews. Netflix and others take note. You’re missing a trick not signing Rick up as a great interviewer.
    21
  2048. Rick can play pretty much anything in all these videos...but I love how Gilmour’s playing is so brilliantly, transcendently great, he’s like: I’m just gonna let you listen to Dave. One of the finest and most underrated guitarists of all time.
    21
  2049. I would probably never check out an artist like Joni Mitchell if it weren’t for you. She’s great, I love it! 👍
    21
  2050. I just wanted to say that after watching the video, I went to Spotify and listened to the Koln concert. And I was blown away. Definitely not the type of music I would listen to. But absolutely stunning. I cannot say enough how great it was listening to that. Thank you Rick for showing me something beautiful
    21
  2051. The solo from Ride Like the Wind by Christopher Cross
    20
  2052. Ted Gioia is also an excellent musician. The Ted Gioia Trio's "The End of the Open Road" came out in 1988 when I was working at my college's jazz radio station. Thank you for this great interview.
    20
  2053. I'm extremely grateful to have discovered Rick's videos in this lifetime. They bring attention to the beautiful aspects of songs and recording that usually go unappreciated. And he moves things along at a nice pace. A lot of tutorials or lessons on Youtube drag along at a snail's pace trying to accommodate even the most inexperienced person and I immediately tune out. Rick is charismatic and a joy to watch. Now just have to find time to watch them all 🙂
    20
  2054. Unless you’re listening on really solid speakers or headphones you won’t hear it. The 89V was much more compressed. If you are listening to this on a phone or laptop chanced are the speakers are already compressing the sound too much to notice the difference.
    20
  2055. Beato, the way you dissect this is issue is very commendable. You showed great decorum at the same time bringing facts to the table. You are a true legend. The musicians musician.
    20
  2056. I love it when Rick reverts to his 12-year-old self, sloppy air drums and all. Wooooooo! Best WMTSG yet.
    20
  2057. You know how I feel about “Girl on a Motorbike “. Happy Birthday Rick! Hope you day is dang near perfect!

  2058. Rick, this is such an amazing story. It's truly incredible that you were to get to play one of Bach's Brandenburg Concertos when you were 12 years old. Bach's Brandenburg Concertos are among the best pieces that anyone has ever written. They're pieces that everyone ought to have the chance to hear at least once in their lifetimes; and that as many people as possible who play one of the instruments featured in these works should get a chance to play. P.S. I find that it's videos such as this or others that are either putting more of yourself into them, or are highlighting incredibly amazing music and performances, that continue to make it worthwhile to be subscribed to your channel and pay attention to what videos you're putting out.
    20
  2059. You can’t use the word “boomer” like this when you ARE a boomer.
    20
  2060. Literally the best Sting interview ever. Splendid work 🙌
    20
  2061. I was just getting ready to say this! Rick should definitely invite Smitty for an interview.
    20
  2062. I LOVE YOU RICK ! Well, I loved you before, but this is something truly special and actually so life affirming for me right now. I needed this interview. How did you know ? I'm balling right now. This is such a treat. I was obsessed with Swervedriver from the first time I heard the first EP. Son of Mustang Ford is SO intense. NO ONE in the UK was playing music like that at the time. One of the most underrated bands of all time. They were SO much more than just another shoegaze band. Swervedriver put the rest to shame and never fitted the shoegazer genre at all. Way ahead of their time and the music has not aged at all. They still sound fresh today. The lyrics to Rave Down from memory... just because.... (must have listened to this song a millions times at least): "Before the pistol cracks, spins me out sideays. Like the sharp hard hit of a car crash in a dream" "Those kids on the corner, wanna' beat box my brains to bits. You can't cut creed clean, 'cos it ain't black and white like they seem" "Rave down, hit the ground" "4am on a hell gas station, before he goes onto the beach where the breeze blows easier...... flowing..." "We hung tight all night and no gig to go to. There could be something happening here, but there's just no place to go" "Your town ain't happening enough no more." "RAVE DOWN" Probably all wrong, that's how I hear it in my head. One of the best songs ever written imo. Man, I'm so overwhelmed... Swervedriver is a massive thing for me. Totally unique band that's hard to define. I'm off for a major Swervedriver binge...
    20
  2063. This is the most incredible interview of a musician I have ever seen. I was captivated for two hours. I guess my brother and I were only one of 800 people that listened to Bright Size Life. Thank you Rick. What a gift.
    20
  2064. and, you sir, are the most important educator of our times.
    20
  2065. This interview is just astonishing. How fortunate we are to listen to a legendary musician detail the origins of his own musical career as well as the birth of one of the greatest bands in history. What a thrill. But this doesn't work without an expert interviewer. Excellent work, Rick.
    20
  2066. This may be my favorite RB video, ever! Tim has such great info, and Rick asked all the best questions. Man, I could listen to you two legends for friggin hours!!! Thanks for.
    20
  2067. Dude, I didn’t start my PhD until I was thirty. Twenty-eight years later I’ve been a research microbiologist for twenty-one years, I have over 150 publications, I have several students who are now senior scientists, researchers, and MDs. My brother laughed when I started my PhD, he said, “you’ll be forty before you have a real job.” My dad said, “well, in ten years he’s going to be forty anyway, so why not be forty and a scientist?” Never look back do now, NOW!
    20
  2068. Yes, let's keep encouraging our kids they can do anything. I started my channel at 48. way awesome
    20
  2069. i had to cry when aunt penny played yesterday its probably the only beatles song i like it also made me think of my wife who has been on the other side for nearly 6 years
    20
  2070. Usage of the pinky on the solos: Rick - 2 Phil - 10 Eric - 12
    20
  2071. Btw met Sting working for ABC and told him I loved the interview you did with him.
    20
  2072. Took me two days to focus and process this interview with the attention it desired. Inspirational, informative, and a master class in why and how Daniel puts his soul into the music he makes and helps create for others. Remarkable. Just stunning and remarkable.
    20
  2073. Rick, This interview and your interview with Pat Metheny are more than worthy of our donations. Thank you
    20
  2074. Rick,  Huge fan - originally found you while looking for videos on music theory back in the day and excited to see how your channel has grown over the years. These interviews specifically are downright incredible - I think you have the chance to become the premier interviewer of professional musicians and artists, if you aren't that already. Seamlessly integrating theory, history, songwriting, music production, emotional moments, etc. I hope you put more effort into this series, it's really that special.
    20
  2075. As she was playing my 1,5 and 4,5 year old children gathered around me and were masmerized. Her positiveness and the richness of her soul shined through / lives on. Sorry for your loss!
    20
  2076. Outstanding Rick!! Congratulations getting Brian May to collaborate on this analysis - and not block it. Now that’s a rocker that gets it. Hearing the breakdown of the backing vocals gave me goosebumps. What visionaries and superb talent. To this day I’ll stop everything I’m doing to listen to this song when it pops up. Best WMTSG to date. 👍
    20
  2077. Putting aside the romantic feelings, the business was not music by music, it has always been entertainment. Let’s invest in musical art… no let’s sell entertainment consumed in vinyl, in cd’s. How many times music had been running in the background while we do things? While we cook, drive, jog? So now the audience is in the social media, it is not in the bars, in the arenas… Rick thank you once again for educating us in what music business is, really is. I launched an album recently and realized how hard it is to build an audience. We need to use social media to connect to wider audience, it’s the XXI century distribution method, no longer assisted by the record labels. A musician now has also to be a content creator, requiring a broader scope of knowledge and ability to engage with people, to build and sustain followers. It is way beyond music, lyrics. Thank you once again, Rick!
    19
  2078. I really appreciate Rick for having the ability to use his encyclopedic knowledge to break down music and explain it to the layman. Phenomenal teacher. Even more impressive, he isn't a snob about it, he listens to every genre and gives all of them a full measure of respect. Thank you, Mr. Beato.
    19
  2079. I love Joni Mitchell, i love Rick Beato
    19
  2080. I am going to show this to my girls tonight who both have Dyslexia. Probably one of your best videos.
    19
  2081. Whew. For the first 10 seconds I thought i was having a stroke.
    19
  2082. Good lord Rick. Thank you so much. You have to have known how poorly this would do. Im a tax dork so you have my support.
    19
  2083. Me: Sees "not clickbait".. thinks.. hm sus af.. want to click but idk.. Sees it's Rick Beato.. OHH lol (heartrate decreases dramatically) yay
    19
  2084. Rick, you are so versatile and inspiring. Even though the takeaway here is such a commonly-mentioned universal theme, your story is so much more relatable and encouraging than a famous quote on a poster or hearing the same things over from friends and family. I recently was rejected by a company I wanted to work for so badly and it was devastating, but now I feel like I'm ready to go out and kick some ass and see what results instead. Thank you so much for this
    19
  2085. Rick Beato is everything Rolling Stone Magazine wishes it was.
    19
  2086. lets be honest, the reason i keep coming back to you and trust you is mostly in part due to your grey hair, it shows knowledge, experience, wisdom, legacy and triumph .. traits of a true king
    19
  2087. I love how Rick perfectly curates this, bringing us along with each gleaming nugget as they occur. It’s also fun that he headfaked everyone into listening to epic jazz again. Shades of the McCoy Tyner video. 🤘🏽💥👊🏽❤️💣
    19
  2088. Yep; you, Rick, ARE an extremely necessary inspiration and advocate for music in general, and Mateos is an amazing guitarist and an obviously high quality human being... something far too few musicians of his caliber are these days. His playing is just unbelievable. For him to be so humble is such a positive side-benefit. I really appreciate your channel and all the wonderful music you have turned me on to!
    19
  2089. Hi Rick: I’m not really a fanboy. At 60, I’m too old for that stuff 😱 But I do appreciate quality. So well done you. So. As it’s important to comment.... I will. Great story. It’s amazing when so many incidents happen along life’s highway. Especially when they weave such an interesting tapestry. Even better when the parts coalesce. Synchronicity is a beautiful thing. May the Force be with you.🌀 Jim🌀 (-: <*> :-)
    19
  2090. What makes this analysis of What Makes This Song Great, great, is the enthusiasm, the joy and the little details that you didn't know that you knew. It's the prefect way to deconstruct a perfect song; as the song soars, you soar with it, in a moment of perfect clarity. That's a whole lot of greatness right there. Thank you, Rick.
    19
  2091. This video made me realize how much Holdsworth influenced Eric Johnson!
    19
  2092. I wasn’t familiar with this gentleman before this video, and I didn’t think I had much interest in live sound, but I’ll be damned if this wasn’t one of the best and most engaging videos I’ve ever seen on the channel. Rick is a master interviewer and David Was exceptionally charismatic, well spoken and passionate about his craft. How could you not be glued to this conversation? Thank you both
    19
  2093. Did Pastorius and Holdsworth ever play together? Clearly not, or the universe would have collapsed.
    19
  2094. Just finished struggling with homework with my 16 year old son who's failing in his classes. This video is very reassuring. People learn differently. It takes patience to find out what someone's learning pathway is. At the end of a frustrating session with my kid, this episode was sorely welcome. Thanks Rick.
    19
  2095. This is by far the best interview of a musician I have ever heard, except for Rick’s own interviews of course! I am going to check other Dick Cavett interviews straight away, hours of enjoyment await
    19
  2096. Rick, what you are doing is consequential. Thank you for this loving portrait of one of the true giants of American music. This was a moving interview and it made me smile.
    19
  2097. You have nailed the EXACT tone from the record, again...Rick can play ANYBODY'S riff and get their magic tone every time, genius...
    19
  2098. So refreshing to have someone so wholesome and knowledgeable reviewing popular music! Kinda makes me wanna go grab my guitar or kb and just start playing. Amazing videos Rick!!!
    19
  2099. I couldn't imagine what it would be like having a world famous guitarist come to visit me and play my gear.
    19
  2100. Yes. This man has character like I rarely see anymore. Another moment that struck me was toward the end when he was talking about messing up the sound. It’s easy to blame one of your crew, but just taking ownership of it is the right thing to do. Amazing guy with a good head on his shoulders
    19
  2101. Rick: your knowledge and attitude are fantastic and perfect for what you’re doing. Having said that your greatest strength as an interviewer is that you give plenty of space for your guests to talk and don’t constantly try to interject. You come in at the right times to keep the conversation going, but you give the spotlight to your guest, which is where it should be. Keep up the great work.
    19
  2102. Well, this interview is not an interview. It’s a lecture. And this work is timeless. It’s unbelievable what kind of knowledge is just available and open for all of us. What an unbelievable treat, thank you so much for sharing this! This means everything. Rick for his effort should be already a winner for a nobel price for a long time now!
    19
  2103. "Just imagine you are singing it." I love how he takes his time and listens to the melody as it emerges from his guitar. And Rick is such a talented interviewer. The discussions flow so naturally and effortlessly while revealing the person behind the guitar.
    19
  2104. This is the best conversation with Ted you’ve had. Just listened to the whole thing and it was thought provoking throughout.
    19
  2105. For years I have been looking for an interview that delves into the musical mind of Sting as I too have always thought that he is one of a kind and this interview does just that! Imagine how many artists would actually look forward to interviews if they knew they would be talking to Rick :)
    19
  2106. You've made so many great videos, Rick, but this one, taking your viewers back in time and giving us a history lesson, was exceptional!
    19
  2107. What strikes me about almost ALL of popular music is the absence of the blues sensibility - too many in tune notes.
    19
  2108. These are a blast. Years ago I wrote a column for Mix Magazine called “How’d They Do That?” where we delved into this type of stuff by interviewing the engineers behind some classic sounds of the day. We did the snare sound on the chorus of “Billie Jean” and so on. So this new series is an awesome one.
    19
  2109. Rick, I love your music related videos - but .... you have an extraordinary gift for communication. Have you considered giving monologues on subjects that have nothing to do with music? Your measured, articulate and sincere delivery on youtube clips is a joy to watch and listen to.
    19
  2110. That was awesome! One of the things I love about your interviews is how your questions are so musically detailed and intelligent. What I mean by that is they're not the same old generic questions you hear from a basic fan or interviewer who really doesn't know music but just likes to listen to it (someone like me! ). You recognize nuances in the songs, the unusual chord changes, the "surprises" that they strategically put in but very few people are even cognizant of. You can tell the artists really appreciate that level of understanding. I am not a musician and most of what you talk about in your other videos is completely over my head. But I have always had a love for music and that is why I love watching your videos. Your passion for music is infectious! Thank you.
    19
  2111. Thank you do much Rick. I really needed this as we just buried my uncle yesterday who was taken from us by COVID-19. That was the most joyous version of happy birthday I have ever heard and will gift this video to all my friends going forward. Thank you again. All the best, Pete
    18
  2112. Remember when you were young and you'd find some music you liked or a new artist and you'd take it over to a friends house to let them hear it and they'd pull out music to share with you? I think it's safe to say Rick is at the top of everybody's of people they want to hang out with and just listen to music
    18
  2113. Rick, this interview, like all your interviews with musicians, is just so hyper-informative! Absolutely spell-binding. As an older guy who has read tons of musician interviews and criticism over the last 50 years, I really think that you get musicians talking about things which you just can't find them talking about in any other interviews. AND, it is the stuff they know most about and are most passionate about: music, their music, how it works, what they are doing and why. Extremely insightful commentary. Truly special.
    18
  2114. Rick Beato, I wish you were my music instructor when I was going through school. You're awesome man. Thank you for all that you do.
    18
  2115. As phenomenal as his innovative and thoughtful playing was, it's his arranging and writing that impress me the most. Thank you for this, Mr. Beato!
    18
  2116. Yes. You should definitely come back to this with some regularity. You could even focus on specific time periods/genres. It's a great theme.
    18
  2117. Can't ever watch Rick without getting a big smile from ear to ear on my face that last more than a day. If passion had a name, it has to be Rick Beato. Beato meaning the blessed one in Italian. Couldn't be more true in this case. Cheers Rick. You are a gem.
    18
  2118. I cannot express how inspiring this was for me to watch & listen to. So I won't. But please know that it was. I have now subscribed to Ted, what an awesome mind. So keen for this podcast format, amazing content to kick it off and I trust that to continue !
    18
  2119. I know virtually nothing about music or how it is made. I know what I like but I'm always shocked when people can pull out the individual sounds in the music. I hear melody, that's about it. For that reason, I don't usually comment on videos about music or music production. I have nothing to offer in that regard. That being said, I do understand interviewing, studied it in school. I didn't understand most of what was said in this interview, yet I couldn't turn it off. I watched every minute of it. It was one of the most compelling interviews I have ever seen. Great job!
    18
  2120. Congratulations, Rick, on a masterclass in music interviewing. I've never seen anyone who can make musicians happy to be there like you do. Musicians are usually looking at the door from the off, but they always enjoy their time with you and open up about the music.
    18
  2121. Wow..just a wonderful interview. I have never heard Ron speak using his voice...I think you have made a video that music students, musicologists, and historians will be listening to for the next 100 years. Please be sure it gets saved in multiple places! Interviewing musical icons before they pass might be a whole new direction for you. The Pat Metheny interview was also fascinating.
    18
  2122. Oh my gosh, where do I start. Guy on the left recorded some of the biggest bands ever before they were famous, and all those bands rewrote music history and changed music for ever. The guy in the middle was in a band whose singer was probably one of the greatest singers of all time. The guy on the right was in nirvana, the band who took over the world and changed music forever. Amazing seeing these guys together, what a great interview. Thank you.
    18
  2123. Just learning your favorite riff on guitar, the one that you try to nail for months as a beginner, is one of, if not, the most satisfying feeling you ever get. It goes all the way further to learn the song, that way it empowers you with motivation to keep playing.
    18
  2124. I just checked Coltrane’s “Giant Steps” after Rick Beato hummed it and the pitch/key was exactly as Rick hummed it!
    18
  2125. These videos/interviews are not just the typical format, these are historical musical digital records of cultural content, and history of music, that will be enjoyed by generations when all these great players are gone. For a man of his age, he is sharp and intelligent, and has zero ego for someone is is part of the fabric of music history, long live Chuck!
    18
  2126. Rick you are what Mtv or Vh1 could have been.
    18
  2127. Yeah, not just the phrasing on the solos, but the connectivity between phrases. Trower is like this, too. There is a natural sounding ease and great flow between notes and phrases. Tim Pearce picked up on it, and you'll hear him do it a lot, too.
    18
  2128. I went straight to I-Tunes and got the Crowfield album, the solo is amazing Rick and you are an inspiration!!
    18
  2129. Rick Beato is one of the best reasons to watch YouTube.
    18
  2130. Rick, we are about the same age and I teach music in Decatur. I know exactly what you mean by the importance of the public library record collection, for me in Stoughton, MA. That is where I found Wes, Joe Pass, Julian Bream, Segovia. It really was life changing.
    18
  2131. There should be a What Makes This, "What Makes This Song Great," Great video series. It would highlight your unbridled enthusiasm including all of your "Oh's" and vocal imitations of the instruments. I always like songs even more after these incredible deconstructions. Thanks for doing them, Rick.
    18
  2132. WMTSG is one of my absolute favorite bits in all of YouTube. Rick, your passion for the music is infectious and I'm always learning something new and cool when I watch. Thank you for all you do!
    18
  2133. You did a good thing, Rick – for your friend and for the thousands his music has now touched. Bless you both 🙏
    18
  2134. This is just an impossible list to put together. Kudos to Rick for taking this on! It's gratifying to see that the chat has such a positive reaction 🔥❤👍
    18
  2135. Rick's long form interviews such as these remind me of 'Later with Bob Costas.' They both know how to keep it interesting, move it along, but know when to butt out and let let the subject talk, all while keeping it upbeat and light-hearted Great interview Rick!
    18
  2136. Thanks, Rick, for telling this. Deliver it as a high-school graduation address, and you could change lives. It's all well and good to have aphorisms, like, 'when life hands you lemons, make lemonade,' but concrete stories like yours, are far more compelling. They are the "stuff" of which those aphorisms are mere condensations. Fred
    18
  2137. I agree but this particular video feels very different. “What is happening?!!” might seem like a negative at first but during the video he notes how this is the first time he’s done it where Rap or Hiphop hasn’t been in the top 10, so it may refer to a bit of shock or surprise.
    18
  2138.  @RickBeato  For real. Your content has taught me so much, not even just about production and theory. It's helped guide me along the path of my musical adventure. Thank you a million times for helping me to see what it looks like to be a musician. Hope to meet you one day!
    18
  2139. Rick's strength is not singing; and I don't even care some. Nice topic.
    18
  2140. Anybody else making Spotify playlists from Rick’s top 20s ? Glad I found his channel.
    18
  2141. The history of the technical details is what i love about these videos. A casual listener cannot truly appreciate how the technical and technological side of rock music progressed/advanced through the years. Once you learn these things, you more fully appreciate why these songs were so important to the industry and the art of rock music.
    17
  2142. I ignored Adele because a song of her's came out when NTB's song was briefly no. 1 on iTunes (knocked out by Adele's). Over time from hearing her on radio and watching concert clips, I've become a fan and even more so now because of this timely, informative presentation. You never fail to inspire Rick. Thank you.
    17
  2143. Rick, I've been watching your videos forever, and "What Makes This Song Great" is my favorite playlist, so it is very hard to point to a "best of" - but, this video perfectly encapsulates everything that makes you great, from your genuine enthusiasm and love for the craft, to your insights and analysis, to you reaching out to specific creators (true artists all) so we can hear from the source, and finally, to your stubborn championing of Music as Art (for Everyone). Thank you for being who you are, and for doing what you do.
    17
  2144. Back into guitar after 15 years off. Rick, you've taught me more since February (it's late December now) than I learned in the whole first 42 years of my life. Your book is so STACKED with info it takes weeks to digest just one page or section... but the triads all over the neck and now this... Man, I love you lol. This is so generous and useful. I am so grateful that you're re here and that I found your channel. Keep doing you. You are a legitimately awesome person. Peace.
    17
  2145. Another great interview. Relaxed intensity. Everyone was so comfortable that the deep dive into detail and esoterica was so open and shared. Wonderful.
    17
  2146. I have no music ability whatsoever but I know good music when I hear it and how anyone such as yourself can Master every instrument and the way you break down a song explain it puts a whole new meaning into it for me great job
    17
  2147. We really are living in the golden age of music education at the moment; this is breathtaking in its depth and breadth of theory and understanding yet for a Luddite like me I can start to understand what’s going on 😅 Thank you Rick for doing this video, and Happy New Year!
    17
  2148. This may very well be your best "What Makes This Song Great" ever!! Of course, having one of the singularly most epic rock songs to dissect doesn't hurt!! Great work, Mr. Beato!! And a huge thank you to Mr. Brian May for all of the above!!
    17
  2149. Rick, I believe your videos and other content will be used to create a new era of epic songwriters. If they haven't already. The joy and knowledge you provide inspired me to gladly by one of your books, and I will continue to support you financially and in encouraging people to watch your videos.
    17
  2150. I learnt more from this interview than I did from doing 5 years of stage mixing thank you Dave.
    17
  2151. Legacy Bias
    17
  2152. The number of dudes here tripping over themselves to make sure we don't forget her brother's contribution is ridiculous.
    17
  2153. I agree. You have put a lot of money, time, and emotion into these interviews. I am both a vocal, and monetary supporter and urge others to do so as well. I am retired on a fixed income, but some money sent towards your efforts is worth it every day. You make it very worthwhile.
    17
  2154. Watched till the end Rick. The improv chat reminded me, I remember doing a session at your place years back. You looked at me funny when you realized I didn’t have solos worked out. I was hearing the songs for first time that day, but I would have improvised something regardless.
    17
  2155. I’ve watched countless Zimmer interviews and this is by far the best. He’s rarely so candid and so plain spoken; usually he’s kind of doing a character. You got the real guy. Great questions. I could watch another one this long.
    17
  2156. I still can't fathom how I've watched a 3 hour interview and feeling like it was a breeze. Such a nice conversation, the ambience... I could listen to you two talking all day long. What a gem you've produced here Rick. I'll probably watch it again at some point just to try and take it all in
    17
  2157. Sorry for your loss Rick. I’m fairly new to your channel, and have watched many videos from you. I don’t play Guitar or Piano or anything for that matter. I’m a young audio engineer, but I’ll tell u I have found no one on YouTube and I bet elsewhere with such grace to explain music. I literally just subscribed and watched your videos just to hear you talk about music. Your knowledge is impeccable. So thanks to Aunt Penny for paving the way for u, because I enjoy your videos. RIP Aunt Penny
    17
  2158. Rick - must be nice to have a guest who is so generous and engaging. His youtube shoutout to you was very complimentary too. Be proud of your channel. You are in illustrious company and your content in your channel is superb.
    17
  2159. Rick's next set of lessons: How to be a GREAT interviewer with a great guitarist. Possibly the best ever.
    17
  2160. The truth is we desperately want to find a new Lennon or Cobain, so we settle for anything remotely resembling the idea. Eilish is original, and misfit teenage girls like her, but her influence is limited, new generations are much more diverse/diffuse/amused for a global generational movement to appear again, just as it didn't happen before 1950s. Sign of the times.
    17
  2161. Was awesome meeting you Rick briefly at the Dream Theater show. I was pretty gone from drinking so I said “I like how this music is made” 😂 I meant to say what makes this song great, but appreciate all the content. And this video kicks butt!
    17
  2162. First vid I saw was breakdown of Kid charlemagne
    17
  2163. I'll go outside right now and deliver a heartfelt bark for Aunt Penny. May she find her peace, and may your heart find comfort, Rick! Bless you both!
    17
  2164. 5:47 WOW...Rick's solo is my favourite out the 3. It's the one that best fits the song 🤘
    17
  2165. Dammit Rick. You did it to me again. This interview was devastatingly brilliant. Take my 3 hours, take my money, and give me more. It is a joy to see you bring out the subtle details that give these people their colors, their flavors, their beauty. Great work once more. Thank you both for the warmth. Nice.
    17
  2166. You have struck solid gold Mr. Beato. I got tears in my eyes as I type this. A beat & a half fill, that's all they get. You make it count. The King of making a groove "sit" Mr. Bernard Purdie 🤌
    17
  2167. WOW! That was not only a phenomenol interview, but Ron's recall and lucid details at 84 years old was amazing. Rick, I've never seen you look so enthused!
    17
  2168. The best YT music channel's presenter interviews a living treasure. Two real gentlemen. Thank you Rick Beato for this sublime video.
    17
  2169. I've tried to "like" this video, like, 5 times.... and now that I've reached the end, I'm in tears. What Seal said to Rick is too true. Thank you for what you do, sir!
    17
  2170. 1000%! It’s why we all love these interviews too hehe, wouldn’t be nearly the same without Rick’s passion
    17
  2171. Great commentary, Rick. But credit should also be given to Peter Jackson who worked many hours with his crew at Park Road Post to turn those hundreds of hours of film and tape into this documentary. He had a thousand choices to make and I think he did it well.
    17
  2172. THE FACT RICK COULD PERFORM A SHOW W MOST ANY BAND IN THE WORLD AFTER PRACTICING W FOR 10 MINS!! 🙌🏻💥🎶💪🏻💯👏🏻
    17
  2173. This is a Master class in interviewing, learning, deep dive of music, melody, rhythm, human stories and this interview flowed so nicely, so enjoyable. Thank you, much appreciate Pat and Rick’s contributions to music.
    17
  2174. Rick you continue to show, without trying, that you’re one of the best interviewers. You have e Nuno the floor and space to open up. As for Nuno, absolutely love him as a person with his humble and honest thoughts. Not to mention one of the finest guitar players- ever. Thank you so much for this video.
    17
  2175. Mr. Beato can explain Jazz to me, but that doesn't mean I have to like it. I can talk trash, because I bought his book, after all these views. :-) But seriously, my best purchases the last 6 months have been supporting the YouTube music tutorial wizards. My rule of thumb has become-if you have watched more than 4 hours of somebody's channel-Buy Their Basic package-thingie widget! Good YouTube videos are a PITA to produce. Thanks again, Rick!
    17
  2176. I cannot begin to say how good this interview was......Rick is a fantastic interviewer: engaging, adding information, yet always always letting his interviewee say as much as they want to, and then he picks the theme up and takes the conversation forward.........As for Julian Lage.......just WOW! What a way to look at music! Incredible........besides his AWESOME playing, it's his true ARTISTRY! 😎😎😎👍
    16
  2177. Rick - this is the best thing you ever did to date - not sure how you can top it? :-) - He is also a hero of mine! - Just amazing rick! - good job man!
    16
  2178. Hey Rick. Great vid. Totally with you, here. I've been a lighting camera op for 30 years and EVERYTHING you say here makes sense. With composition, the devil is in the tiniest detail.
    16
  2179. Boredom is the key factor, but also social anxiety is another. I noticed things changed fairly quickly around 2012 when smartphones reached a kind of tipping point: they were around since the iPhone but after that you were the odd one out not to have one. (I finally got one when the store offered only one non-smartphone option.) At the same time, I noticed a slow but steady decline in the amount casual conversation with strangers at bars, at bus stops, anywhere. It went from, "Hey, did you see that??" to a kind of "Oh yeah, huh. (Why is he talking to me?)" People became more and more accustomed to attending to things on their own terms so that spontaneous engagement started to feel out of place and probably make them self-conscious whenever it did happen. Social skills are something that stay sharp with practice, so being locked to you phone becomes a feedback loop. I feel that even when people are zombie scrolling while walking down the street is probably as much about avoiding eye contact with strangers or just feeling self-conscious as it is actually pursuing entertainment. From the way they talk about it, I don't think Rick or David experience it that way because they describe it as a tool rather than a crutch.
    16
  2180. This video is such a treasure for generations to come. Born classic! Thank you both Rick and Pat for this rich conversation. My only complaint is that it is too short. I took the liberty to edit a playlist (for educational purposes only) and pinpoint every song mentioned here and some artists that eventually may not be on everyone's awareness. It's on Spotify and it's called "Pat and Rick tips". Once again, thanx for the pleasure of witnessing this actually happening. A dream come true, REALLY! Cheers from Brazil!!!
    16
  2181. Thank you Rick. Sublime and heartbreaking. What you did with "Solar" goes straight to the top of filming art. Thank you again and thank you Keith.
    16
  2182. You can tell Rick REALLY enjoyed this interview. A couple of Italianos remembering their early years...
    16
  2183. This might be the first interview Sting has ever done where the interviewer was truly familiar with his music.
    16
  2184. What a great topic, Rick! I'm loving the discussion so far, it's awesome to hear all of you weigh in on how that era developed and progressed.
    16
  2185. This is why the internet was invented. Quality content that makes you think. Thanks Rick, that was great!
    16
  2186. Well that was a life lesson wrapped in a music lesson garnished with passion and humility. With a big side order of music history. All while sitting in with two old friends you never met but knew you loved.
    16
  2187. This was genuinely one of the best musician interviews I have watched. Never looked at the watch face once. Totally enthralling.
    16
  2188. Almost unfathomable how on earth you've been able to interview so many incredible top luminaries - AND in all cases probably pulled off the best, deepest, warmest and widest interviews ever of each of them - but clearly it's simply because of who and what you are Rick! Just fantastic. If I could have one wish fulfilled - if ever you are able - Peter Gabriel.
    16
  2189. I've shared the Joni episode with many people because it not only showcases the essence & brilliance of Joni Mitchell, but also the innate unstoppable passion for great music and songwriting that you posses Rick. Don't stop!
    16
  2190. Keep doing videos with Dave and Rhett! I can't get together with my friends right now to bullshit about guitar and music so this is the next best thing. Keep it up!
    16
  2191. I’ve been watching YouTube since it was first released, but I can confidently say this is the absolute best content I’ve watched on the platform. I can’t get enough. Incredible work, Rick!
    16
  2192. Best musical interviewer ever!! I have never been disappointed in Rick's interviews. He is just there to help move the artist along. Skunk Baxter is as interesting as a musician can be!!! Thank you Rick.
    16
  2193. I don't care what anybody says....this is not only my favorite live song recorded and released....I believe it is THE BEST live song recorded and released!
    16
  2194. Joe's documentary is must-see content for every guitar player. I rewatch it about once a year. Rick Beato might be the best interviewer I've ever seen when it comes to musicians - this was GREAT.
    16
  2195. So inspirational Rick. I’m a high school physics teacher and I love being able to make these types of connections with my students. I hope my kids look back and think of me as a help to their endeavors.
    16
  2196. Rick, I lost my dad almost three weeks ago. I watched this video and you transitioned to your solo on Crowfield's Cardinal Motion. The tone, the melody, the feeling of the solo, the lyrics as your guitar comes in... they reached me. "Yes all our goodbyes/Are movements of water/From the cardinal motion..." This song, these lyrics, this solo... they are what I needed to hear. Johnny Diamond sounds like he had a great soul. Thank you for the video. I bought Crowfield's "Goodbye, Goodnight, So Long Midwestern" today.... Let this song, these lyrics and this solo soar with my thoughts and remembrances of my dad. Life has beauty. Even in goodbyes that were never said.
    16
  2197. When people ask me what the difference is between playing acoustic guitar and electric guitar, I say the main thing I've noticed is that with an acoustic you have to focus on playing the strings you want to hear. With an electric you have to focus on muting the strings you don't want to hear.
    16
  2198. So what you're really trying to say is... They basically put all the chords in the BINGO spinner and spun it around and took what they got.
    16
  2199. Thank you for not only the theory... music... etc but for the personal accounts from your life Rick. Your openess and care are special to us. ... Your solo is stellar, and your zeal is contagious. Anyone who complains is simply rotten; missing out on life. God's Faith Hope Love and Joy be upon you and yours. Peace Michael Francis
    16
  2200. Thanks so much for being one of his patrons. I can't speak for everyone, but I am grateful beyond belief for his content, especially something like this.
    16
  2201. Best ear training course commercial ever. You're a genius, Rick.
    16
  2202. I saw the show a few days before the one on "Shadow's and Light" the night before I was heading off to college to study music in 1979. The show was part of the Mississippi River Festival at SIU Edwardsville, IL. The sound was so incredible you could hear the bend in the wire if you dropped a pin on the stage - no small feat in 1979. It was the 2nd of two concerts (the other being Jethro Tull in1975) that made me say "I want to do THAT!" and I spent the next ten years trying to find the inner Joni, Pat, Bruce Cockburn, Peter Gabriel, Kate Bush, until I finally started to have a voice of my own. 40 years, and 11 albums later, I still strive to even come close, but that show made everything coalesce. Maybe some day... Thanks for your great stuff, Rick!
    16
  2203. I suspect there certain bands/individuals who will rue the day they blocked themselves from the Beatonian Institution and the chance they had to have their story told with insight and respect.
    16
  2204. Excellent Rick! Probably your most important lesson in a long time. I've been trying to get this stuff over to my students for years. I've tried to get over to them that this is often the main reason why their playing doesn't sound as good as they want it to - particularly when they record themselves. I've also warned them that there is relatively little coverage of this important subject on the Internet. At least I can point them at something now. By the way, I often like to draw a comparison between the guitar and the piano, which is of course damped by default, and where you have to press the sustaining pedal to allow the strings to ring.
    16
  2205. Woah, this is such a coincidence! I just done a cover of a song called How You Like That by BLACKPINK which uses the Phrygian Major mode during the rap solo!
    16
  2206. Geez, Rick, this video was beautiful. Your solo was amazing, melodic and beautifully fit to the song. I see more everyday why this is one of the fastest growing channels on YouTube. You can be quite proud.
    16
  2207. Legendary interviews.Should be added to the national archive or the Smithsonian. Important documentation of the history of music.
    16
  2208. Don't forget Schumann's Piano Concerto in A minor. One of the greatest pieces of music, and performed by her flawlessly!
    16
  2209. Rick...Beautifully done...., I always heard dissonance . Now I can embrace it!!!! You are building something very special , thank you for your inclusive nature....you are doing for us what Aydin did for you. Teach it forward prof!!
    15
  2210.  @fridaycasual  I know nothing about sheet music yet I watch these videos religiously! I just love the way Rick boils these songs down eventhough I have no idea what he's talking about half the time LOL It tells you a lot about how Rick "teaches" these things.. absolutely BRILLIANT! If you can somehow capture this in YOUR teachings, you will go far! Good luck! <3
    15
  2211. Great interview, Rick! No cookie cutter questions that have been asked in many other videos featuring SL. I can see you pulling insightful, poignant soundbites from this interview for future videos on a range of topics. Thank you both for this special conversation.
    15
  2212. I'm still sort of stunned...when I saw that you had indeed interviewed Keith Jarrett, the virtuoso Legend, I was overjoyed because I just knew that you would conduct one for the ages. You exceeded my expectations many times and was really taken with how much Keith truly enjoyed your company and appreciated your knowledge of his music and his career. It's marvelous how much you know about his career, thank you so much-very intriguing. HIs incredible playing one handed was so touching and magnificent, his genius was quite apparent and is still like a beacon. The flame is still there. I'd never seen the performance of "Solar" and how special it was to see his reaction to hearing his magic for the "first time" again, I'd forgotten the immense power he has. That was truly riveting, I'm still sort of spellbound. I loved how you got out your 3 copies of the Bremen Lausanne Solo Concerts, that is hilarious to know that I'm not the only one who does that-love it! That wonderful 2 minute section was extremely beautiful. One of my favorite pieces of his is "Hourglass Part 2" off of Staircase. It's such a sublime, gorgeous piece that it is totally enthralling. What a gift from him. Thank you so much Rick for this epic interview, you allowed us to be with the Master himself, share what it was like to be in his presence and hear so many interesting stories as well as insights. Bravo!
    15
  2213. 57:07 facts. You really ask the best questions. A lot of people need to hear that. I’m having bad ass day watching this interview. Thank you Rick!
    15
  2214. Your importance and contribution to music history will, some day, be fully comprehended and appreciated. I knew nothing of this artist and his history prior to this video.
    15
  2215. THIS! This is what your channel is about! Rick this is the most interesting, and inspiring interview I have ever seen, not just on your channel, but anywhere. Your questions, and Ted's ideas are magic! I Truly hope that his ideas, and your's can be moved forward! Music is the most important thing in the world and has been cast aside as if it is no longer important. I hope that your and your guest and your friends will keep working toward making music an important part of people's lives. THANK YOU!
    15
  2216. Absolutely brilliant. Rick’s interviews are capturing stories and information that will be a priceless resource for future generations of musicians and music lovers. Well done Rick.
    15
  2217. You’re a good man Rick Beato. I too lost a very good friend/musician two weeks ago. Your eulogy paralleled what I would say about my friend Colin. Thank you for posting this; it helped. Very sorry for your loss.
    15
  2218. I just saw this interview and couldn't be happier!! Joe has an almost encyclopedic knowledge of guitars, amps, and tone. Rick is the same but more so dealing with production. You couldn't find a better person to interview Joe. That's what Rick brings to the table and you could tell Joe couldn't be happier to respond!! Much love and appreciation for you guys and your respectable crafts!!
    15
  2219. The sad thing is that these current Hiphop artists adopted the "Producer" moniker but if you'd ask them about the work of George Martin (Beatles, Jeff Beck), Allan Parsons (Pink Floyd), Daniel Lanois (Peter Gabriel, U2) or even a guy like Rick Rubin (Beastie Boys, Red Hot Chili Peppers) they probably wouldn't know anything to say about them.
    15
  2220. This is very moving. When auntie starts playing you can see she is a true musician, crafting the melody with both hands, varying the rhythm. Rick Beato has the best guitar-based channel on YouTube IMO. Thank you for sharing this.
    15
  2221. Someone said this already but these interviews should be in the Librery of Congress and I say at El Prado Museum too. The stuff legends are made of for sure. Every one is like travelling through music history. What a great dude Warren is so humble and respectful, the way he talks about Sco made me completely emotional. Truly a musical legend. Just like you Rick. I probably said this as well but It's like a sacred moment in my home for every new interview. The smell of fresh coffee the silence before it, and then just like you just arrived and sat in my living room with another incredible artist.... If anybody told me this 20 years ago I would go: That is impossible. Nobody, not even the likes of Letterman could do that. Well here is our pride as musicians. Mr. Rick Beato.
    15
  2222. OMG. I watched this video years ago and remember saying "Damn, that was impressive". Fast forward a few years, already subscribed to this channel and now find myself blurting out "HEY, THAT WAS RICK'S KID"
    15
  2223. Thank you for these interviews, Rick. I wasn't born yet when all of this came out and I really appreciate being able to hear what these masterminds have to say while they're still with us. I'm only 30 but I literally shed tears of happiness when I see quality interviews like these of people like Christopher Cross or Larry Carlton (and so on and so forth). You're truly doing the music world a huge service by providing such quality interviews with such immensely talented people.
    15
  2224. I have always liked and admired Joni, mostly for a half a dozen songs I really like, but your wonderful video has jst intensified my appreciation to a far deeper level. I actually teared up a bit by the end of that, Rick. You shined a spotlight on her in a way that deeply moved me. And I loved what she said in that interview so much. The technical and the emotional are seamless in her mind. Wow!!!! I always love your vids and learn so much, but I feel like I owe you big on this one. I am going to be listening to a LOT more Joni from now on. WTH else have I missed besides Amelia? Thank you, so much, brother.
    15
  2225. Bruno Mars for the win. As for the others, the dumbing-down of society is coming along very nicely.
    15
  2226. Are U2 one of the few bands who's had the same band members from the first album and till now? I think there first was in 1980, that's like 40 years with the same guys. Very rare for a huge band like them to stay together that long imo.
    15
  2227. This was incredible! I figured there'd be no way I'd make it all the way through twenty minutes of whatever song it was and THEN it turns out to be one that I've always considered a (well-produced and performed,) middling pop confectionary! Shows how much I know, right? Great job, Rick! This was my first, but I'll be tuning in for more of you!
    15
  2228. What we are actually seeing is the upper limit of human performance. No matter that it be from athletics or mathematics or music or whatever; this is what qualifies as awesome!!! Playing like this is a major accomplishment or should I say an epic accomplishment? Please note that few peeps have ever managed to attain such a high level of musical delivery.
    15
  2229. Rick, great interview! I might be a little biased since he is my brother. This walk through time brought me back. Great job of getting Bud to open up. Well done!
    15
  2230. I’m mostly a metal and hard/classic rock fan so people gets real surprised when I say that one of my fav albums of all time, mostly because its amazing sound, is Recovering the Satelites by Counting Crowes. The songs are perfectly mixed and the natural ambience of the drums is some if the best drum sounds I’ve ever heard.
    15
  2231. Your videos remind me of the Bernstein lectures; so personal and with excellent in depth analysis of recording and your own examples. I’m an older classical player and don’t play much anymore but it’s pure pleasure to keep learning with your lectures. Thank you for making quarantine a great experience!
    15
  2232. This is possibly the best interview I've ever watched. A: Because Steve Lukather is a true guitar idol (it would seem without trying), and B: Because Rick Beato is just about the most knowledgeable person in the world about music, it's origins and progessions and the people who play it. As a bonus this was two friends chewing the fat. Fantastic. Rick, never stop what you're doing whatever the corporations try to do. It's great that people like Steve are on your side as are all of us that subscribe to your content.
    15
  2233. Your composition was mesmerizing, Rick - well done, brother. I love Dorian - probably because I’ve been using it longer than the other major scale modes because the minor pentatonic lives in it and that’s where I started all those years ago.
    15
  2234. Add classical.
    15
  2235. Transcendental music meditation. Master player. Plus master interviewer and music man. Thank you so much. Grateful.
    15
  2236. I wish Rick was my uncle and would take me to lunch lol
    15
  2237. I'm 27, and Rick is younger than me. He aint no "gramps"!
    15
  2238. Rick, you blow my mind with the range of your appreciation of so many types of music.
    15
  2239. “Alexa, how many hours are in 6 months” Alexa: “six months is 4,380 hours”
    15
  2240. Wow Rick, this is just beautiful! Your interviews will go down in music history for generations to come! Too bad you weren't around to interview Bach or Mozart. I was a student at Eastman when Keith came in '76. I heard the studio orchestra piece you listened to with him and attended a solo piano concert he played in the Eastman theatre. I was in one of the small groups that got to play for Keith. John Serry who is a great jazz pianist and composer led a group called Auracle that released an album shortly after this. Bill Dobbins, one of the jazz faculty at Eastman and a brilliant pianist himself, transcribed and performed note for note renditions of "Facing You" and other solo pieces of Keith's. I have been profoundly moved by Keith Jarrett's music. I wish peace and joy for him.
    15
  2241. As the guy who was "the Nirvana guy" in my freshman year dorm in 1991-92, yes I totally see Billie as the Kurt of her generation. Why? She's authentic, vulnerable and expresses those things beautifully. Also, super happy you included that climbing part from "I Love You." Gets me every time.
    15
  2242. Can't say it enough.... Musicians should be ringing your phone off the hook, Rick. Such great content, and these musicians are just so relaxed talking to you about all things music.... I have to add that I think it's really cool when they play their instruments during the interviews (as Joe is doing) to demonstrate their points.... it's a really nice touch! :)
    15
  2243. I still get a little weepy when I hear his stuff. He was my north star. I found your channel on the day he died. P. S. I watch all these videos of you talking about how great all these guitarists are (often right to their faces) and the elephant in the room is that you're as good as any of them. You're too humble to make a thing of it, but we all know. Bless you, Rick.
    15
  2244. Aaaaah brilliant! Make this a series and get Andy Bell, Mark Gardener, Neil Halstead etc on for interviews as well... Ok, I might be slightly above average interested in UK shoegaze :-)
    14
  2245. Love this! A song that came out before I met you in the top 5!
    14
  2246. Lessons from the School of Life 👏🏼✨ This was great and really important. Being able to absorb and apply in a sustained way is crucial. Yay for Pepe Gonzalez, I say!
    14
  2247. love how all 20 had the greatest drummers. Matt Cameron was on at least 3 outta 20. thats impresive. great vid RB! learned a lot even after 35 years of playing drums still cant get enough help to improve. btw Jack Jones doing the air drumming counting was awesome! hes truley a real drummer.
    14
  2248. sorry this didn't do well, I'm going to watch and learn with extra appreciation for this one.
    14
  2249. Rick, you’re wonderful. Watching you teach us how to enjoy and understand music is one of YouTube’s greatest pleasures
    14
  2250. "Maybe the students are smarter then me?"..... what a great question to ask ourselves
    14
  2251. In my 67th year I can honestly say no-one taught me as much about music theory as you have. I've earned my living as a bass player for a while - best income I ever earned (better than senior management) ..knew very little theory, I was all about shape copying, guessing and sounds right.
    14
  2252. I wasn't really aware of the Indigo Girls music but after this interview with Rick and the song that Emily sang, "Look Long" (which gave me a big lump in the throat) i'll be making sure to catch up with their back catalogue in the near future. This is what Rick's channel does - it's an education. Great stuff
    14
  2253. Hands down the most enjoyable interview Rick has ever recorded! Of course, I am a drummer, a Police fan, home studio guy, and comedy buff. So of course. It's so cool that we now have seen all of The Police viewpoints, and what could be better than that. Loved his reactions and memories of the questions about the individual songs. I am happy that Stewart has cleared up the relationship rumors and truths concerning Sting. Great job RICK!!! You are a real producer, getting the most out of artists.
    14
  2254. This is an extremely important piece of American music history and belongs in the Library of Congress. A+ work, Rick.
    14
  2255. I honestly knew nothing about Brendan, but I decided to watch based on 3 things: 1) the overall quality of your content; 2) your skills as an interviewer; 3) your excitement at having landed this interview. I watched the whole thing. Fascinating! As always, well done, Rick!
    14
  2256. Two meeting of the minds with people who are genuinely listening and responding. This is a fundamental trait that is missing in our global siloed society. We need to get back to this kind of interaction.
    14
  2257. I sound like a broken record-again two words-absolute gold! Thank you especially for bringing up dogman Long live Kings x
    14
  2258. rick beato, entertain us, here we are now, and it’s dangerous
    14
  2259. Oh, my dear Rick! I am sooo happy that you go back in your examples even some 300 years, back to J.S. Bach and the like. I truly appreciate that you, as a "rock" musician, have a thorough knowledge of the history of music and that you do not disregard the masterpieces of the past. You truly know broadly about music. And that's how it should be.
    14
  2260. I'll be 70 this year and, yeah, I really like the music from '65 - '75. But I traveled around a lot with my Dad while growing up, and he listened to Jazz & Big Band. Now that I'm older, I find myself gravitating to Jazz. It's weird that I now like it, but I guess that Jazz is also 'the music I grew up with'.
    14
  2261. WOW! This is what makes Rick Beato a great interviewer, let's his guest tell the story. And what a storyteller, could listen to Rick and Rick for days. If every home had a Rick Wakeman, the world would be a happy place.
    14
  2262. In these trying times, my blood pressure just dropped 60 points listening. Rick Beato for President.
    14
  2263. Thanks Rick! I’m 16 and have every intention of doing music as my career. It really helps to see how much failure you can go through and it can ultimately lead to a greater success. You’re truly one of my hero’s😁
    14
  2264. The Flaming Lips - Soft Bulletin. Still sounds incredible
    14
  2265. Rick, welcome to the mitral valve repair club. Glad the surgery went well and you’re on the recovery road. I had my mitral valve repaired in 2019 to fix the same type of issue. The surgeon did a nonrobotic minimally invasive repair. Keep on truckin’. We live in an amazing time for medical technology and guitar. Love your channel 💔+👩‍⚕️= ❤🎸
    14
  2266. Thank you Rick & Brad for sharing your insight and wisdom throughout this interview. Rick - it's so clear how much you love music...beautiful to see. Nice that here you get to fully live the Dick Cavett position next to the piano. Gratefully - John

  2267.  @RickBeato  You've just described the craziest part of Youtube comments: half the comments are from people who haven't watched the video, or they've watched maybe only 40 seconds and then jump into the comments section with both barrels blazing. Noobs. 😐😏 Nirvana were part of a vibrant, rich music scene in Seattle where they honed their chops and built a devout following. I'm not familiar with the scene in LA at the time Billie and Phineas were first gaining attention, but I know that the internet is like an extended virtual scene where artists can acquire experience, skills and followings. So, their paths were different but similar. 👍
    14
  2268. Well worth the 14:21 of my life to watch. Rick brings not only lived experience, but intelligence and insight to the music I've listened to for half a century. I know zero music theory, and am not a real musician, but I have a good ear, and his analysis of individual songs (e.g., Steely Dan, The Cars, etc.) is always interesting. Glad I'm a subscriber.
    14
  2269. People and "experts" like Rick is what makes YouTube so interesting and so much fun. They are masters of their craft and specialists at what they do, and sharing that expertise and knowledge directly with the world is what YouTube is meant to be all about. I'm glad that you decided to make a "music appreciation" channel, because we also appreciate not just music, but we appreciate you, Rick Beato, as a person too.. Be proud of what you do Rick, you deserve it and shouldn't have to be embarrassed because you're giving a lot of people a lot of joy, and you are unique and necessary. Of anything it's those lawyers or middle managers or bigshot CEOs who should be embarrassed since they are for the most part parasites who aren't worth anything near the money they get paid. Be proud, Rick!
    14
  2270. The real-life Rick is so inconvenient to lug around. His demands for food, water, air, etc, far too onerous. I for one welcome our new AI-generated Rick Beato!
    14
  2271. One of the best interviews I've ever heard Rick. Chuck opened up on his life like no other. Not just as a musician but also working in the industry itself as a day to day job that most of us will never experience. Also his life in general.......extraordinary.
    14
  2272. You are the new type of “music star” an educator, a star educator. As an experienced teacher myself I can honestly say your pedagogy is excellent. Keep teaching you are developing so many musicians across the world 🌎
    14
  2273. If most people were like you, this world wouldn't have been so difficult to live in! With great respect, best regards Mr Rick and God bless you! You are a great inspiration for all of us!
    14
  2274. “Bought a house and started waiting tables” back when you could drop out of college and immediately afford a house just waiting tables lol.
    14
  2275. As you can see from the number of views there are thousands of us that appreciate where you are in our lives. We did not know how you got here but are so glad you did. Thank you.
    14
  2276. Master piece!!!
    14
  2277. Rick went to the Library and took out a record of culture and beauty. When I went to the Library as a kid in the 80's I took out Motley Crue's 'Girls, Girls Girls' 😂.
    14
  2278. Rant, totally justified! Along with purchasing The Beato Book, I joined the Beato Club a month ago as a gold member and the content from FlatFiv has really helped me to level my skills while motivating me to learn and practice in the best way I have seen thus far. Happy to support such excellent content and knowledge sharing. I also plan on purchasing the Ear Training course in the near future.
    14
  2279. **RICK YOUR SOLO IS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE** You don't realize how good that solo actually is.
    14
  2280. Like every other generation Gen Z has it’s own unique way of relating to music defined by it’s own conditions and time period. What really defines the modern era is the ease of access to most music that this generation has. This has bred large swaths of people who primarily consume music passively. You can the effects of this in the popular of styles like Lofi Hip-Hop. Also this has lead to really is an intense stratification between Gen Z music fans who are either casually into Pop and Hip Hop and other broadly popular styles or super obsessive snobs who on places like RateYourMusic and 4chan’s Mu board endlessly debate the merits of different albums from obscure microgenres that gain cult popularity on the internet like Citypop, Phonk, or Industrial Hip-hop.
    14
  2281. Great interview Rick, I always love hearing Ted’s perspective.
    14
  2282. "Half reading and half improvising..." - that's such a powerful quote. What a great tribute Rick.
    14
  2283. Hey Rick, Eastman Grad here, I lost my father on November 23rd, he was 95, and my biggest supporter, drove me to rehearsals, hauled amps and PA systems for me, amazing guy and he loved music above everything but his family. God bless you and give you comfort and reassurance that she lives in your heart and with your soul!! Mourn not that such women have died, rejoice, rather, that such women have lived!!!!
    14
  2284. I've been a HUUUGE Joni fan since the first time I heard "Help Me" on the radio in 1974. I was nine. When I was first getting into Hejira "Amelia" was the song that sucked me in. Great episode! I'm not any kind of musician but I enjoy listening you to talk about songs I love and I love when you bliss out on them!
    14
  2285. You really help those who love music but are not musicians to appreciate how important sounds in music are for all of us.
    14
  2286. Rick, you have the best music interviews on Youtube. Great job. Keep em' coming.
    14
  2287. As an 18 year old with a low attention span who can’t even sit through a 5 minute video.. WOW. What an amazing interview.
    14
  2288.  @nocentz4656  You get a far more aggressive consistent tone when down picking specific metal riffs. Alternate picking Master of Puppets for instance would be extremely bad form.
    14
  2289. Probably the most respect I have seen Maynard show an interviewer. You could tell he appreciated Rick's questions and perspectives. Well done sir!
    14
  2290. Rick, you’re a tremendous inspiration! I’m a retired music educator and a big fan of yours. Bach’s music has transformed lives for centuries, and with good reason. It amazes me to this day that the Brandenburg Concertos were never played during Bach’s life because he had sent them as a gift to the Margrave of Brandenburg - who never opened the gift! Thank God the music was not lost forever because it is so very wonderful!
    14
  2291. Radio: Metal sucks 🚫 Rick: Hold my beer 🍺
    14
  2292. Also LOTS of huge hits with 1ma - 2mi. Tennessee Whiskey, blue ain’t your color, etc
    14
  2293. Historians and students will use these videos for research and other academic work far into the future.
    14
  2294. I love Rick's feel when he explain this masterpiece. What a cool series. I love your all work man.
    14
  2295. This is why i pay for youtube. The best content on Earth. Thank you for your work. both of you awesome gentlemen. Edit: The lighting is always outstanding. Kudos
    14
  2296. Rick does everything to a high standard. Take his studio for example. Beautiful guitars, furniture, lighting, colours and composition. The man has taste!
    14
  2297. Well 3 mins in and I've already learned Two things that are blowing my mind. What an amazing interview.
    14
  2298. The Beato family's knowledge of music is incredible - love it.
    14
  2299. Rick doesn't just break down what's going on technically, he tells us how those choices affect the emotion of the song. Masterful analysis.
    14
  2300. Rick seems so happy. Love it. Nice to see others who appreciate, understand and love Steely Dan. Ever listened to the piano so deeply. Hearing things I’ve never heard before. Amazing!
    13
  2301. Getting invited to be on the Rick Beato Show means much more than it did, when the show was in its youth. Today, it truly is an "honor" to get that phone call, even if you have no tour or record to promote. It is more valuable than money. Being recognized for your contribution to history is as good as it gets. Who could say "No" to that?
    13
  2302.  @RickBeato  Loved the vid, the channel (I use it often when teaching) and for keeping Allans legacy/brilliance alive!
    13
  2303. I am a non-musician that subscribes to Mr. Beato’s channel. He has many great videos but I think this one is my very favorite.
    13
  2304. This is the 3rd time I've watched this interview - Pat is such a hero to me, I've even written a song dedicated to him. :) No one else has that magical sound he's got. RIP, Lyle Mays.
    13
  2305. Thank you for the passionate defense of the writer/performers who have created generations of music excellence and music miracles. Mitchell, Young, Springsteen, Simon and a few others have created musical sapphires that embellish crown of creative writing/singing/performing. You are right to defend their legacy. Hats off to you, Rick.
    13
  2306. Wow. I think that was the finest interview of Maynard James Keenan I've ever watched. It was relaxed, fun, informative and telling. Kudos Mr. Beato!
    13
  2307. Seriously, I could NEVER get tired of listening to you and Tim talk shop and play music. I learn something every time!
    13
  2308. Yes we want to be like Peter too, let's see this interview
    13
  2309. What amazes me most amongst all of your amazing talents, Rick, is your prodigious memory. All of the seemingly endless chord sequences that you can so efficiently recall... it blows my mind! Thank you for sharing your gifts, and your great love of music.
    13
  2310. Thank you Rick!! that was awesome!!!!
    13
  2311. Dear Rick, Thank you, very much, for having this YouTube channel. Because of you, I was introduced to Hozier and, now, Allan Holdsworth.
    13
  2312. I subscribed only because you got Joni Mitchell's attention that she would want to sit and have a 3 hour meal with you. In my eyes that elevated your coolness factor, but you know your stuff. Enjoying your vids. Keep them coming!
    13
  2313. Rick Beato is the perfect interviewer. He asks the right questions and lets his guest do the talking. Pat Metheny is a guitar legend, it's so interesting to hear what he has to say. And the chemistry between Rick and Pat is so positive and relaxed... It's like two old friends who haven't seen each other in a long time and have a lot to talk about. The interview lasts almost two hours, but it's interesting from beginning to end. That's quite an achievement from Rick Beato. A big compliment to him from a Dutch fan. I hope there will be more interviews like this to come. They are pure gold.
    13
  2314. LoL Beato is such a nerd - I just LOVE it!!! LoL ... So enjoyable watching his excitement over the small technical aspects.
    13
  2315. Imagine getting an interview with Beethoven and being able to watch it 250 years later....Rick has accomplished the same here. You're welcome future song lovers.
    13
  2316. This may be the most fun video I've seen on your channel! Brilliant solos, and really calls into question the essential-ness of a solo in regards to notes vs. personality. I know it's sacrilege, but I'm not sure my favorite is Jimmy's anymore...
    13
  2317. Yes. He’s a shining example of character and pragmatism. Huge respect for this guy after watching this
    13
  2318. This is the only compression tutorial on YouTube I’ve ever felt like I’ve gotten something out of
    13
  2319. Rick is always at his best interviewing a very talented raconteur 🥰👍🎵🎶🎹
    13
  2320. This is SO hilarious I can't stand it. After watching your "I'm Sick Of Your Excuses" and then this one... I finally broke down, went to your website, and bought myself a t-shirt. This work has to be supported. :) Lol. Keep up the great work.
    13
  2321. I just spent 2 years studying with Steve Brown's son, Miles Brown. Got my masters in upright bass performance and got to play some of Steve's music. What an amazing musical family.
    13
  2322. This is what a Master musician looks and sounds like. This kind of interview is what makes youtube so valuable.
    13
  2323. What a wonderful eulogy. Somehow you managed to describe peter so well that i now care about him and his family. Complete strangers to me.
    13
  2324. I love these kinds of videos! I miss Dave!
    13
  2325. Dude, Karnivool, Foo Fighters and Soundgarden on the same video. You are a rock legend.🤘
    13
  2326. That was simply the best interview of this sort that I have ever heard. I’m so sad it had to come to an end.
    13
  2327. Back around 1975 I read an interview with Keith and my take away was that he was very conceited and holier than thou when it came to his playing. He probably put down someone I liked (speculation at this point) and I never got into his music until now. I believe Keith is brought up during The Pat Metheny Interview which caused me to start looking at my music service and Keith's body of work (not close to all of it so I'll be looking for vinyl, too). THANK YOU
    13
  2328.  @nikibronson133  The style and genre of the music is irrelevant. No, Billie Eilish didn't invent emotional pop music. Not any more than Kurt Cobain (HUGE Nirvana fan here) invented grunge music. He was part of a scene. Bands like Soundgarden, Green River, Mudhoney, The Meat Puppets, Alice In Chains etc. were making similar type music but it was Nirvana with the extra catchiness of Kurt's Beatles influence that broke through first. And you could argue that in this era of a completely fractured music business with millions of tracks uploaded every day to DSP's that it's actually HARDER to break through now and reach that level of cultural ubiquity.
    13
  2329. I have found such an expanded music world through these WMTSG shorts and have gone and learnt some basic music theory to help me try and understand your breakdowns better. My 13 year old twin sons are learning the piano and guitar and I have purchased them each a copy of your Beato Book to compliment their education. Thank you so very, very much Mr Beato.
    13
  2330. Look, I’m fairly broke but this time I couldn’t help it, just donated 10$, despite it’s worth more than that
    13
  2331. Rick, this is one of your best videos in recent memory. After lurking for may months, I have finally subscribed. I enjoy your interviews, for sure, but I also REALLY dig your insight videos like this one. Like you, I have been in the industry a long time. I was alive and learning during the arc of all those great bands. What you bring up here makes a lot of sense. Gives me a lot to think about. Thank you.
    13
  2332. On bass there is Ron Carter, and then there's everyone else.
    13
  2333. 🙏🎹👍 Probably the only great music channel with 1 million+ subscribers who actually talks about great subjects like harmony and voice leading. In France, we had Debussy, Fauré, Ravel and Messiaen. Sadly they are not there to talk about that anymore but they were good at it as well :-) Rick Beato, you are the Nadia Boulanger of modern music! Long life to your channel !!!!!
    13
  2334. All I have to say is God bless Rick can you imagine your grandfather immigrating to United States and then in two generations his grandsons have a signature guitar made for him by Gibson what a honor it must be for your family legacy and then you donate the proceeds to such a worthy cause once again you are blessed my friend
    13
  2335. So refreshing to see a creative, kind, compasionate, caring, giving, open and honest person on such an influential social platform...thank you!
    13
  2336. The vocal harmonies sound like something Beatles would have written
    13
  2337. Rick, congratulations on this milestone interview. Truly the best internet music professor talking to some of the best musicians alive today. So awesome.
    13
  2338. The backbone of a channel is smart, entertaining commentary. Ricks got it covered.
    13
  2339. Your theory about Beethoven's downward drift in perfect pitch may explain the agonizingly high Fs in the choral bass, last movement, that go on forever at forte or more, requiring gulps of lemon and honey b4 each performance 🙃 Thanks again for a great présentation !
    13
  2340. When I see such an insane performance, by such a genius as Oscar, I often think of just how fortunate we all are that he was born in an era where quality recorded sound existed and he had access to very well-made, modern instruments. And before Youtube, many of us were never previously able to have experienced such moments. It's stuff like this why I have so often lost track of time manically going from one great blast from the past to another, and first thing I know, it's 3 a.m!
    13
  2341. I love all your interviews but this on, and the way you played and discussed the pieces, is my favorite. Bravo and thank you.
    13
  2342. I hear that brother
    13
  2343. I like this guy. This video was more enjoyable to me than interviews with big name artists. Those are fascinating, don't get me wrong. This was just nice and easy, laid back, and a discussion on an interesting topic. Thank you, Rick and Jim.
    13
  2344. I've always believed that this channel will one day be that library where musicians and creatives go to research about the development of music from the 19th century to the present 😊
    13
  2345. I always perceived Martha Argerich as the top of the top. She’s been sitting on that throne of the Olympus for so many decades and no one could push her away and still can. And every aficionado of classical piano music knows how thin the air is on that top. So this video here is highly appreciated, bravo Rick and let us all spend some time on June 05 to appreciate her unfathomable merits throughout her career.
    13
  2346. This is so funny! When I saw the title, I immediately thought of THIS EXACT lick! When he mentioned Vinnie, I was like, "Wait a minute..." And then when he said it was Holdsworth's "City nights", I laughed out loud. This has been the mount Everest of guitar licks for me for years! Awesome, as always, Rick!
    13
  2347. These interviews are a true legacy. Keep it up Rick!
    13
  2348. Thank you, Rick. Johnny was my nephew and I appreciate the tribute. I only wish Johhny could have seen the profound affect that he had on people. I had seen Johnny just shortly before his passing and he was so excited about the way things were going and progressing. That made it so much more of a shock to get the call of his passing.
    13
  2349. This is the Mt. Everest of guitar licks?! Nice try, sir. Clearly you have not heard, nor tried to master, a little ditty called Smoke on the Water!
    13
  2350. Eddie Vedder did an amazing cover of this song. And nice Les Paul Deluxe! That's Pete Townshend's guitar!
    13
  2351. I worked as a carpenter in Steve Brown's home in Ithaca circa '87, got to know him, went to hear him play at a restaurant downtown. Great guy and player.
    13
  2352. Love these vids in the Interview Series, as they help to "humanize the famous", and help reduce the dysfunction of idolatry within fanship. Keep them up!
    13
  2353. Lol. Brop B on P90. Dude, I respect you, haha
    13
  2354. I'm a Dr (family medicine in the uk) and your pattern of symptoms is not one I've come across (did an ent internship). Important thing for future research and potential treatment is quality trials. Wise words from Rick on avoiding all the bogus scam "treatments" out there.
    13
  2355. When you know you knew nothing about song you knew for decades ;)
    13
  2356. I love that you’re giving us a new Video on each of the modes. After three years it’s time for a bit of review! Thanks Hypes! Great stuff.
    12
  2357. this is the most Spinal Tap episode ever!
    12
  2358. without folks like Joni, life would be dimmer than it is; without folks like Rick, insight is brightened as well
    12
  2359. It's a good thing Queen secretly found an autotune machine decades before they were invented. This song is like a lesson on why most of today's music sucks. They did this with talent, not computers.
    12
  2360. Wow. Just wow. Greatest respect and admiration to Tori and Rick for making this video. She is SO articulate, intuitive, and just plain brilliant and Rick is a consummate interviewer, respectful and very intuitive and insightful. Musicians must be delighted and surprised to meet someone like Rick who really "gets" them. This interview was pure joy for me. Thank you to them both. 🙏
    12
  2361. Usually ... doing anatomy on beauty makes it ugly. But Rick, you've broken through that barrier. Your 'education' has become beautiful. Thanks a tear full.
    12
  2362. A few weeks ago I commented about meeting Pat Metheny when he was a judge at the Georgia Tech Guthman Musical Instrument Competition (this was showing our instruments from the Moog Hackathon, a few hours before the Guthman concert) about five or six years ago ... So then I checked the Guthman site and who do I see listed in the 2022 judges? Some guy named Rick ...
    12
  2363. I love Rick's talent before the camera. He comes across so relaxed and personable, that I start to forget that I'm just an unknown fan, listing to a recorded video, and become mesmerized into thinking that Rick is relaying a story to me personally. Few people in this world have such an amazing ability. What a guy!!!
    12
  2364. My god - his reprise of the apex of jazz from Coltrane w Tyner to Shorter to Miles/Adderly. And Mehldau brings it to life, live, on cue. Led Zeppelin/Bonham vs. Elvin Jones - no one else gets this!! This is unbelievable. This should be a 10 part series.
    12
  2365. As a working musician and educator of music, I have to say Rick's channel is a topic of conversation in both settings probably weekly. This snuck up on me. I hadn't realized how special what you contribute to us all actually was until I saw the Sting and Lukather interviews. Mind blown. You give us a look into these artists minds and hearts from a perspective much like our own, Rick. It's not Letterman or MTV. You're an amazing and thoughtful musician and you bring out such interesting nuggets from your guests because of this. That's what makes your channel so special. It's not so much the musicians as it is you. You are the catalyst for the amazing stories and insights we're lucky enough to hear from the legends. Your band sounds amazing as well, by the way! Luv it!
    12
  2366. Joni Mitchell and Oscar Peterson. The two greatest musical exports in Canada's history. Thanks for the reminder...
    12
  2367. i never thought i’d say these words in my lifetime: i liked the 75 watts the best...... omg... what’s next?? will i become a Maroon 5 fan next ??? What’s happening to me...!!!😱😉 Great video!! Loved it!!
    12
  2368. Rick has such a passion for music that it is contagious! That was one of the most exciting tributes I've ever seen. The emotion at the end of the video filled my eyes with tears. Jimmy must surely be smiling up there. Thank you Rick. Stay safe.
    12
  2369. That was a terrific interview - thank you Rick & Yngwie!
    12
  2370. Excellent work, Rick! Very "Woody!" Hearing "I won't hold you back" after last hearing it on VINYL being spun on my phonograph decades ago was eerily wonderful....
    12
  2371. Rick, I love that somehow you find people that are just as much in love with music as you are. Never change, and keep the wonderful interviews coming!!
    12
  2372. It just goes to show Rick.. how much of an impact people as yourself have on people... some may think I'm just doing a YouTube channel to make money.. then there are those like yourself who care about what you do and actually impacting people's lives through music.. you're the genuine article and I think people see that is why you're so successful in your Channel... I myself am I subscriber to your Channel for about 3 years now... stay true to yourself.. and that's what comes through..
    12
  2373. These two compliment each other so well; a guitarist who plays the 'right' notes and leave space for the music to breath and be aborbed; and an interviewer who asks intelligent questions and lets the interviewee time to answer in full. David Gilmour has been my hero for nigh on 35 years and I have never seen him that open and talk at length so freely. Part of that will have come from age (and ridding the burdens of the past) but a large part comes down to respecting and feeling comfortable with the host. Another album - soon! - please @davidgilmour and another interview. Thank you Rick @rickbeato for this. Love this interview and your channel. I subscribed a while ago. Keep up the great work.
    12
  2374. I can’t imagine a YouTube world without Rick Beato. You motivated me to go from a musician/average guitar player who could care less about learning music theory to loving the heck out of ear training and theory. Just your education alone is amazing the rest is icing on the cake.
    12
  2375. GOD that drum mix...I'd sell a kidney to achieve that! I LOVE the snap and top end in the snare - bright but not brittle, and of course Gregg's playing is fantastic. Great stuff!
    12
  2376. Bernard never ages. And what an ability to keep things loose and tight all at once.
    12
  2377. Not only do we get to listen to these beyond amazing memories, we also get to walk down our own memory lane as to what was happening in our lives when these bands broke. For me I was a sophomore in college…what a soundtrack for that time in life. Thank you Rick- I don’t know what we’d do without you!
    12
  2378. I was introduced to Swervedriver by Rick. Just wanted to say thanks!
    12
  2379. This is the best 3 hours of entertainment! Rick: I thoroughly enjoyed listening to you and Daniel because the flow of the conversation was so natural. I love how modest, down home, and loving Daniel is during this interview. Thank you both so much.
    12
  2380. I can't really add anything more to all the wonderful comments made by everyone here except that I felt compelled to do write something. This interview completely blew me away and I have never heard an interview in this depth anywhere before. Kudos to Rick and Pat for blessing the rest of us with this. Thank you both so much.
    12
  2381. Does anyone else ever get annoyed that rick seems always have the exact type of guitar that was used on any song ever, meanwhile I have a single below average acoustic and electric and one garbage amp.
    12
  2382. I can't believe Ward and Rick are good friends! I follow both of their channels
    12
  2383. I was working in a music store as well in 1994 opening CDs for people. We did cassettes too. We had a cellophane shrink wrap machine in back of the house to reseal opened rejected CDs & cassettes. What a different world that was.
    12
  2384. Hey Rick. Phil Collins was a master with his Ludwig Speed King pedal. Listen The whole "The Lamb..."
    12
  2385. This has got to be THE best interview on the entire internet for musicians and non-musicians alike. As a musician, no matter your style - the insight you get into one of the GREATEST musical minds in recent history is just PRICELESS. And it takes someone like Rick to be able to ask questions like this and be able to speak with Pat on this level! Thank you Rick!!!
    12
  2386. I know this is not a religious channel, but I think God has given you a ministry of positivity and love of music (and guitar!) - we love you Rick!
    12
  2387. This isn't just about your personal stories, you are documenting a wide swath of the history of music. This is the value of oral history.

  2388. My jaw is still sitting on the floor after two uninterrupted viewings. This interview is one of the most truthful and beautiful things I've experienced on this planet. Rick, when Pat puts wind in your sails, you must recognize you are doing it and doing it right. 🙏❤️🕊
    12
  2389. Wow this is just incredible. You’re doing an amazing service to musicians and music fans everywhere with these interviews.
    12
  2390. Best musical series on YT, by far. Your enthusiasm is infectious
    12
  2391. One of my favorite bands of the 90's and this is a great example of their catchy style. That whole album still lives in my car! :-) Stay safe Rick
    12
  2392. Donated!!
    12
  2393. Frampton is such an underappreciated guitarist nowadays. He really should be considered one of those Legendary Guitar "Heroes", IMO.
    12
  2394. Click bait title: 15 seconds of Oscar Peterson playing deep funk.
    11
  2395. That was PHENOMENAL. He’s definitely my “recording hero”. Every single mix or album he ever did I loved. Music doesn’t sound like that anymore. Dry, punchy, unabashed drums, bass and guitars with stellar vox right out front. Everything these days is drowned in reverb. Not to mention mixed on a MacBook. Would love to sit and watch him work for a few hours in my life. This may be the closest I’ll ever get.
    11
  2396. Been a lifelong fan since 99, my son’s middle name is Mehldau. Thanks for the beautiful music, Brad.
    11
  2397. I've never seen Yngwie so at ease in an interview before. Rick provides a space where musicians can feel relaxed, loose and completely themselves. Most importantly, they will be listened to and not abruptly interrupted while they're finding their way into answering his questions. Another great interview added to the books Rick. Thank you so much for everything that you do on this channel.
    11
  2398. Hey Mr Beato, love your channel. You like Joy Division?? I love them.
    11
  2399. You’re a great musician and interviewer yourself, but I love the admiration you have for other musicians and interviewers and the passion you have for music in general. Love your content.
    11
  2400. Extremely high quality, Rick. It doesn't happen unless the subject is completely confident you've thoroughly done your homework AND you're a total fan. I'm pretty much tasked to join the Beato Club because I'm spending my time.....on your channel. This stuff is my thing. Thank you.
    11
  2401. Your interviews by far are the best I have ever seen. With all your experience and knowledge I love how in depth these these discussions are, topics ranging from composing, keys, styles to identifying elements in their music and learning what makes the artists they are today. Not only do you gain insight for yourself but it’s obvious that you care about your viewers making sure that they gain as much knowledge as you do. You can tell that every artist you have interviewed is loving every second, and appreciative not having to answer the same question for the 100th time. Keep these interviews coming.
    11
  2402. Simply amazing, I don’t understand music theory, I’m not a musician so your speaking a foreign language, I don’t understand any of what you’re describing, but I can hear it! And I appreciate your explanations - it’s all magic to me. Your love of this tune comes through loud and clear, super fun to see your enthusiasm. And your playing is truly remarkable. Whom ever gave this a thumbs down, well I just don’t get what you’re thinking. A perfect 100 for your 100th. Thank you!
    11
  2403. Just listen to that Demiurge riff. That doesn't have an expiration date.
    11
  2404. I learned more about real-world composition in that interview than in all the books and articles I've read. All-time favorite interview for both you guys.
    11
  2405. "Rick: this is an amazingly musical and poetic demonstration of Joni's Amelia. Thank you so much. I encourage any music lover to watch this."
    11
  2406. oh this one deserves a beer guys, open up a cold one for rick and pink floyd.
    11
  2407. Awesome stuff! Youtube needs real interviews with real musicians and this nails it.
    11
  2408. Rick, I can only repeat all the enthusiastic comments: this is one of the greatest interviews with a musician that I have ever watched. It would be great if you could interview Bill Frisell. I love everything he plays, both jazz and jazz blended with other genres. And he is such a humble, seemingly timid person. I am sure this would be a wonderful conversation about music and musicianship! Thank you for all your work, Rick!
    11
  2409. Can you even imagine going to a Blockbuster Music and a young Rick Beato being the associate? Those people probably walked out of the store with suitcases of CDs.
    11
  2410. I feel like I've been waiting a long time for this video/interview to happen. Thank you! It's influencing, validating, encouraging and entertaining. Thank you Rick and David! This is an hour of my life and I don't want back!
    11
  2411. I'm not certain that anyone could have interviewed Pat Metheny to this depth, which is to say that I've never heard any even come close. The information brought up throughout the video could be used as a primer for musicians and anyone else who strives to hear music on the often evasive level of simultaneous knowing and feeling. [Applause]
    11
  2412. Beato with a large glass of Jim and I quickly forget the stresssssssss of the day job - Cheers to you Rick!
    11
  2413. How Rick’s content is free is beyond me. This is gold. Keep it up man you’re making me love music more and more every day
    11
  2414. Can’t get enough of these videos Rick! Everything you do is amazing, actually. Appreciate you! ☠️🙏🎸
    11
  2415. Awesome story Rick!
    11
  2416. My guys/gal Stephen, ichika, Aaron, jakub, Yvette! You basically nailed the modern guitar scene man! Oh yeah Tim Miller goes okay too...
    11
  2417. Can't wait to dig into his catalog, seems like a really cool and talented dude.
    11
  2418. ...and worth every penny ye are Rick. You're are an essential part of our world to all of us budding musicians. Your passion is your crowning talent above all else.. You are my tutor, eye-opener and 'finger on the pulse'.. My chief source of inspiration. To have this interview between you both is just pure nectar! Keep up the good work pleeeze and let Pat know that I'll be there in Hammersmith on the 12th June next year to see him live. I can't wait! With so much glorious content together with your relaxed, knowledgable interviewing technique I have some work to do yet sifting through Pat's back-catalogue before next June. Thankin' yers both! 💖
    11
  2419. At 1:20 Sting hears Rick’s describing hunting tones, upper extensions - Surprise…then Sting opens up to the master musician interviewer. This interview ought to get archived at the Library of Congress so generations may learn how timeless songs are made AND memorable interviews conducted.
    11
  2420. Rick: I continue to to be amazed by the library of information in your head. I have recommended your channel to so many people by now. You're a treasure on YouTube! Thank you for all of your great videos.
    11
  2421. Rick, I cannot imagine you not having an immense impact on the music that will come up in the coming years.
    11
  2422. I watch all of your interviews and analyses and consider yours one of the very best channels on YouTube... but this one really touched me on an unprecedented emotional level. To see these two classic rock legends sitting together, correcting each other's memories, sharing stories about Jim... what a great session you had with these guys! Almost brought tears to my eyes. Thank you so much for all you do.
    11
  2423. The sort of understanding of fingerstyle music of the period (lute pieces and such) it takes to be able to make those arrangements says that Alan Mearns is the real thing. Listening to the album with JS Bach arrangements now.
    11
  2424. This is a definitive interview, not only regarding Pat but regarding music. Having been at Berklee around the time of his first recordings it was a bit surprising to learn he wasn't as popular on a greater level as Pat was one of the handful of players we all talked about constantly. Well, Berklee is it's own world. I'll never forget how I practiced all this intricate and complicated stuff before my 1st private lesson and when I got there my teacher asked me to play Happy Birthday on one string. I couldn't do it. So, yeah, Pat's insights really resonate with me.
    11
  2425. 11:30 Rick trying his best not to keep laughing after the Adele story. Amazing video.
    11
  2426. “What makes this (Rick Beato) Great?” Interviews like this, with such insightful questions, let us all in on what really makes this music and these musicians great. A MasterClass for Musicians and anyone with ears and a soul. Keep’em coming Rick!!! Great work.
    11
  2427. It is our duty to our elders to honor them by sharing how they lived. Once we get past the grief of missing them. Well done fellow Raider.
    11
  2428. I discovered her recordings in the mid '70s through her connection as a very young student of Frederick Gulda, who was at the time my favorite Beethoven pianist. From 2002-2018 I hosted a classical music radio program and her recordings were always in 'heavy rotation'. Thanks for this video Rick. BTW, her ex-husband (and father of the daughter you mentioned), Stephen Kovacevich, is no slacker at the piano, either!
    11
  2429. Me too. A mix of nostalgia and light bulb moments 🙂
    11
  2430. Like so many comments …this interview is the greatest I have watched…the combination of these 2 giants …Brad has and is redefining the language of Western Music…when it seemed we have run its length and breadth …with utter simplicity of triads and a seemless boundary of harmonic freedom to superimpose 2nds 4ths and whatever suits the ear and heart in a gentle easy to follow genius manner ….Thank you both of you for a couple of hours of bliss…
    11
  2431. I’m so sorry you lost your friend, Rick. Sending you a virtual hug.
    11
  2432. This is one hell of a good story Rick. First time I got to the end of a YouTube vid, hit rewind and listened all the way through again (OK it was three times). You have definitely lived a life. And you’re sitting there telling the story in a T-shirt and a ball cap like it’s nothing. Too cool my man ... I hope I run into you on the street some day just so I can say thanks for being you and bringing this stuff to us. ✌️
    11
  2433. I keep forgetting these 2 are in their 60s . They’re so youthful! Love this duo
    11
  2434. You really do have some of the most interesting takes on the vast world of musical style and mechanics, sir. Bravo!
    11
  2435. O man, your a legend Rick. There is NO ONE that does interviews like you. Like Bernard said you're always right on the money. Your admiration of excellence is astonishing.
    11
  2436. This song has been overplayed to death on classic rock radio, but your analysis has allowed me to rediscover the magic of the song that I felt when I heard it for the first time. Thanks Rick.
    11
  2437. Ikr, the joy on Rick's face when he watches the ending scene with the blue light reflecting on his cheeks. It provokes something for me, something profound. I can just imagine Rick staying in the studio overnight trying to brainstorm ideas for his next video. And think to himself , 'you know what I'll just break down the ET theme and tell my 3mil subscribers what makes it great'. This channel is a rabbit hole that i could get lost in for hours and im glad i came across it.🥺
    11
  2438. Yes Please! John Scofield would be a treasure for sure. Rick, like everyone is saying, THIS is how you interview a musician. Setting the bar! Only you can do these types of interviews.
    11
  2439. Congratulations Rick. You’ve become my absolute go to guy during the lock down.Thank you so much and I’m a much better guitar player than last year because of your videos 😊🙏🥳
    11
  2440. Rick, I know you’ll never read this but you have taken my respect for you to another level. Everything you have in life is well deserved. Thank you for continuing to educate us
    11
  2441. Wow, for all of his accomplishments, he's refreshingly humble. Great interview Rick, thank you!
    11
  2442. YES. I only discovered her during the pandemic watching music YouTube videos (pianists mostly). I saw an amazing video of her when she was in her 20s then saw when that performance happened. And then I saw, like you, that she is still around and performing. I went looking into her life history and learned of her cancer, etc. Then saw she is still going strong. She plays with such stamina as you say. I saw her comments watching Horowitz play. Horowitz is also amazing in his 70s. Sadly he died too soon. But yes. I just saw your video on Argerich (via Roku on the big screen) and felt compelled to comment via my computer.
    10
  2443. Thank you soo much for this interview Rick. It was fantastic finally being able to to see this. It was sooo clear that David enjoyed talking to you. Unlike most interviewers who focuses mainly on the past on David’s career, you on the other hand focused primarily on his new tour and music which I feel he really appreciated. Keep up the amazing work Rick
    10
  2444. Let me start by saying thank you for sharing your knowledge, skill and talent with so many. I was brought to your channel by a friend 4 years ago who linked to your first video on perfect pitch. Normally I don’t watch these things but I must have been bored that day...in any case I have no regrets. It’s very easy to get sucked down the Beato rabit hole. Dylan’s PP is far more developed than my own, which I know is due to all the early music theory exposure. Watching this video was absolutely terrifying. It was discovered that I had perfect pitch when I was 9, but earliest memory of it was when I was 5. As a blind musician (flute and piano), I rely on it too much. I guess if I ever needed motivation to learn braille music you’ve definitely given me more amunition. Thanks again for your awesome content.
    10
  2445. Wow, that was one of the best Tori interviews I've ever heard. Rick is an amazing interviewer, as I've seen over the years. I fell in love with Tori's music when I was 14 (I'm 43 now), and have seen her live many many times. When she talked about the trio sessions with Jon and Matt, it actually made me cry because those shows were incredible. I was thrilled to see her last year again with Jon and Ash (who is amazing), but Matt on the drums is an absolute angel, and he also toured with my favorite band of all time, Indigo Girls, in 2006. I love how she said she prefers minor keys solo and pocket grooves with the band. As a longtime fan, I always said, I prefer her with a band vs a solo piano show, but my favorite moment of a band show is when she plays solo. It's like Murphy's Law. Give me Cooling any day! I love this woman!
    10
  2446. Rick, this is why I watch your channel all the time. I got a great laugh out of this and it just shows how gracious you are to everyone, which is rare in the industry. You're the type of guy everyone likes to have as a friend. Keep videos like this coming!!
    10
  2447. That was a great dissection Rick! Keep up your fantastic work and sharing👍
    10
  2448. Hello Rick, Thank you for this video. Great. Also, I just purchased your Beato Ear Training course and am working my way through. Wow! where was this 20 years ago? Really loving the challenges of the program so far. Thank you for creating the course. (and thank you for the MEGA sale - I just got in under the wire there.) ~Joe
    10
  2449. "Beyond the specifics of the music it might get to you in terms of a communication." This interview wasn't a conversation- it was a melody, it was music itself - thank you Rick, thank you Daniel for the music.
    10
  2450. 28:24 the start of one of the most epic couple of minutes in rock history .
    10
  2451. What a great storyteller Rick Wakeman is, and Rick Beato is the best music interviewer I’ve ever seen.
    10
  2452. This video almost completely cleared up my misunderstanding and or lack of appreciation for jazz music. Prior to this video, I only knew smooth jazz sucked. This video rocks! Thank you for what you do Rick.
    10
  2453. I'm Irish and a musician..and I love their song Electric Storm...maybe one for the futre? Brilliant breakdown Rick, thank you.
    10
  2454. You nailed this one Rick. I am a hardcore Beatles fan, and I was so amazed to see a project of this scope come to life fifty years later. We all thought we'd seen it all. I hope this changed opinions of the band and these events for the better, even though we still only saw a glimpse of what really happened. Their genius is on display in full force and clearly proves why they are some of the best ever. A beautifully done rockumentary. Thank you Rick for your insight!
    10
  2455. This more than makes up for your subjecting us to Kelly Clarkson.
    10
  2456. The answer is ALWAYS yes. :) Not only are your videos focused, they are fun to listen to if you have no idea of what's going on and AMAZINGLY awesome when you do. Always yes!
    10
  2457. Jay Graydon's sound is one of the most recognizable to me, the whole Airplay album has great solos.
    10
  2458. Wonderful life lessons here. We have to keep in mind that most YouTubers who fade away do so because their channels are built on a trend or on a very specific moment in time, the DNA of their channel isn't built to last. Indeed, I agree that your channel is a music appreciation forum, its also an op-ed channel and its also an educational channel. None of these things have any expiration date - having watched a huge amount of your videos I doubt that you'd be lack for any new ideas. I'm grateful that you take the time to share your knowledge, love and opinions with us. Even when I don't agree, I still get so much out of it. PS - you can still be a great producer at 60 +, Rick Rubin is going strong for example!
    10
  2459. Unbelievable. Absolutely epic interview. I’m a Beato Club Member and I’ve bought your Beato Book and your Ear Training Course but I will also gladly contribute directly if it will help fund more interviews like this.
    10
  2460. Masterful: This is Rick's best interview -- Beato is the best interviewer. It myself be said that Brad is an exceptional interviewee: Open, Honest and egoless. He knowledge of, performance and exposition of music and how he relates all form music is incredible.
    10
  2461. I've got to say, you and Phil are hilarious. But, this, as a older guitar player, is my favorite video I've seen. The idea sounds simple. But playing AC/DC, especially back in black, it's like instinct, a reflex action. Your brain muddies up what should be easy. Bravo gentleman, Bravo 👏👏👏👏
    10
  2462. Beyond the obvious handful of radio tracks, I'm not familiar with Cross's work, and this interview has made me want to go out and binge his entire discography just to hear how all these great collaborators he mentions fit in. What a wonderful career he's led, and how humble and grateful he sounds about all of it. Great work bringing this to us, @rick!
    10
  2463. Great interview. I love Rick's interviewing style. As a child of the 90s, I remember Tori Amos breaking into the public, but I wasn't into that style of music back then. I appreciate her talent now as an adult. I had never heard her cover of Teen Spirit before this interview. That was great, she's super talented. I love re-discovering the voices of my youth as an adult.
    10
  2464. I've been thinking non-stop about this lately after your Ramble On video. My jaw is on the floor because you actually cared as much as I did about the acoustic part. What a strange, beautiful world we live in. Thanks for making it a little brighter, Rick.
    10
  2465. Rick?! How do your interviews keep getting more and more engaging and in depth with these amazing people? I am so glad I am subscribed!
    10
  2466. The next best thing to having the chops is understanding the music, which is the absolute magic of these videos IMO. Rick's analysis is so clear and easy to follow -- yet detailed and deeply insightful. This is one of the best of Rick's best videos.
    10
  2467. This basically makes me want to leave Neural DSP behind and go back to a wall of tube amps. Such a great experience in the studio to do this and craft your tone organically. The best sounds I have ever acheived have happened this way.
    10
  2468. They need two ferns
    10
  2469. One of the most educational interviews that you have done! Congratulations and thank you!!!
    10
  2470. I follow him since you told about this article ( Is Old Music … ) and became a fan . This interview is the most lucid conversation about the contemporary music scene I’ve heard , you guys are brilliant !
    10
  2471. As a musician, I love your channel and your ability to add explanations to what goes on in our minds as we play. Rick is the cool guy you hung out with in h.s. that was in a band. He's still in a band, but he skipped the part about being a complete jerk the way most musicians are :-), so you still want to hang out with him because he's a great storyteller.
    10
  2472. Rick, in 50 years from now people will be replaying your interviews and marvelling in the same way that you have done with Dick Cavett. Yours and your interviewees legacy will live on through your great dedication to music.
    10
  2473. Wonderful list. I'm a bit surprised, though, that "Video Killed the Radio Star" didn't make the cut. That really marked a transition, not just with the advent of music video, but also stylistically during the leadup to the 80s.
    10
  2474. Okay THIS! This is the interview I've been waiting my entire life for, even if I didn't quite realize it. Thank you so much for "lifting the veil" with these interviews and filling in the little gaps of information that I've always been curious about with your excellent interview questions. I love these videos, please keep making more. ❤
    10
  2475. Sometimes these videos are so good that I expect to get a bill in the mail, because they couldn’t possibly be free. Btw, I love your hyperbole.
    10
  2476. For every good reason the legend grows Rick every lover of music owes you a debt of gratitude for the interviews, the teaching and pure love for the gift of music. A thank you falls short of what I want to say. God Bless you and your work.
    10
  2477. My friends in high school used to make fun of how much I played this song in my car. I never knew why I liked it so much but I feel like Rick’s video has vindicated me! 💪
    10
  2478. maybe someday hearing this track by track breakdown of the best rock tune of all time won't cheer me up. but probably not. i'll be playing this video in the old age home.
    10
  2479. What I thought was interesting about the doc is that the discovery or re-discovery of some of these albums by the Channel 101 series creators was an organic thing: they didn't know anything about music, really. They were able to procure these LPs cheaply in the late '90's/early 00's, and subsequently learned that the same musicians showed up on album after album, which made them dig deeper into the stories behind those musicians. The "popularity" of their silly web series (which, as a 52 year old - basically the same age group as the people making the webisodes - I found hilarious and absurd) - is something they themselves seem very ambivalent about in the doc. They seemed to cringe at the faddish cover bands, stupid hats, etc. If they had wised up enough to simply not mention the moniker to Donald Fagen, they might have persuaded him to chat about the music! They also have McDonald and Lukather and others being very clearly dismissive and contemptuous of the term and its being affixed to their productive output. So anyway, you're right, Rick, that the web series is simplistic and kind of dumb, and that the doc doesn't really deal with the music in a substantive way. But you get that this is how non-musicians consume the cultural products we musicians create, right? Even Pitchfork or Rolling Stone don't ever spend a ton of time on Chuck Rainey and Bernard Purdie's contributions to American Popular Music (which doesn't make the fact more defensible, just more predictable). My take-away from the doc is that the web series creators actually are kind of in awe of the music (and rightly so!). They are not equipped to understand much about it, perhaps, (or stop short of that level of understanding, maybe), but at the end of the day, they're comedians and writers, i.e. "normal people" compared to musicians!

  2480. So ... Rick Beato is getting his haircut and people keep recognising him. The barber is bemused and asks what gives. Rick says I'm really famous ... everybody knows me. Bog off, says the barber, I don't believe you. "Well", Rick says, "I'm off on a trip to Europe, you can tag along if you like. You'll see!". "Deal" says the barber. So they meet at the airport and the check-in clerk says "Hi Rick! How's you YouTube channel going?" and the barber is taken aback. They board the plane and the captain comes on the intercom and says "Hey Rick. Nice to have you onboard. Pop up to the flight deck later for a chinwag." The barber can't believe it. They get off the plane in Rome and the taxi driver says "Mr. Beeeeaaaaaatoooooh! I love your Beato book. I'm on page 375". Now the barber is getting the picture. So they end up in St Peter's Square. They're about 500 yards from the front when the Pope comes out to say mass. Half way through, the Pontif stops proceedings, parts the crowd with a wave of his hands and beckons Rick to join him. So that barber stands there shaking his head in disbelief as Rick plods over, and helps with the mass. Rick eventually returns to see the barber spark out, horizontal on the pavement, with medics trying to revive him. Eventually he comes to, and Rick asks if he's OK, and what happened. The barber says: "I was surprised by the check-in clerk & airline pilot. I was gobsmacked by the Itialian taxi driver, and I was utter flabbergasted by the pope. But then I'm watching you help the pope give mass at the Vatican, and the bloke beside me, taps me on shoulder and says 'Who the f*** is that with Rick Beato?'"
    10
  2481. Your channel is basically the history of music. A hundred years from now they could watch the videos and be able to experience amd understand what it must have been like to live in one of the greatest eras of music 50s thru to the 90s.
    10
  2482. Same here. I had never heard of him and now he’s probably one of my favorite guests Rick has ever featured
    10
  2483. This is fabulous content. Documentary, journalism, all the big words that is embodied here. Great content. So real, honest, and inspiring. Rick Beato a national treasure. Billy Strings a beautiful soul. Thank you.
    10
  2484. Alan is a master musician. And Stephen Aron is an absolute genius. I studied under Stephen for my masters. Truly a master teacher and musician.
    10
  2485. Listening to this with my Ns-10s. Sounds great!
    10
  2486. Thanks for the Guitar Lessons, Rick. Working on your Guitar Virtuoso Bundle. I’ve been playing for fifty years, but there is still so much to learn.
    10
  2487. You have changed the world Rick, best YT channel for any musician!
    10
  2488. This is the best interview I’ve ever seen. Even better than the Metheny interview, which is also great.
    10
  2489. life is simple, i see rick beato and i click immidiately. especially WMTSG.
    10
  2490.  @richatlarge462  you seem to think that record company promotion has something to do with this video, it doesn't...again, I'm a huge Nirvana fan, but Nirvana signed a major label record deal with DGC before they achieved mainstream success. They had the big machine of the music business pushing them just like Billie Eilish (which again, has nothing to do with this anyway).
    10
  2491. Rick Beatos definition of good music: interesting chord progressions, good drums, interesting instrument sounds Rick Beatos comment sections definition of good music: loud distorted guitars, over 20 years old
    10
  2492. The man just played the riff from "Icarus lives". I like this one.
    10
  2493. Rick's channel is quickly becoming the go to place for excellent musicians. Derek Trucks is one of the best guitar players on the planet. If you read this Rick, please try to interview David Bromberg. At 76 years old he's back on the road playing small venues around the country. I'm sure he'd love to be interviewed.

  2494. OMG, as a bass player of 40 years who grew up listening to Pat and all his contemporaries, this interview is a treasure. i could hardly stop for anything. Thank you Rick... and thank you Pat, for giving your time to have this conversation!
    10
  2495. A lot of it is proper use of the English language. Great YT videos are made so much better with good grammar! Rick speaks better English than many English, his lines are definitive because he has a teaching background and knows how to deliver. You just know it is time to listen.
    10
  2496. Rick, first comment on your channel. Love the work you do and the artists you invite to share their story. I’ve learned more from this interview with Joe than any instructional video he’s done before. (Even a few licks when he even wasn’t thinking about it) thankyou
    10
  2497. It's really a great thing when you get to meet people you respect and admire and they turn out to be as nice or nicer than you thought they might be. It's an incredible gift you're giving us Rick. Thank you so very much.
    10
  2498. Brother, One of my favorite things about your channel is watching you completely jam out of the songs you love. For a man with the diverse musical background that you have, its so fun to see you apply it to metal. If you ever have someone on your channel to interview you, I'd like to reserve a spot in line.
    10
  2499. Jesus, I never wanted that to end!! SO fascinating! A look into actual genius! Yet 2 regular guys just having a BS session! Well done Rick and Al! 👍🙏👍
    10
  2500. There’s nobody like Alan. He’s exceptional.
    10
  2501. I'm not a musician, but I deeply enjoy good music like this song, and then watching the video and paying attention to all of those details guided by Rick makes it so damn complex, so rational, so intentional and calculated, that it makes me feel so tiny and ignorant... Maybe understanding it may kill some of its magic as you begin to understand, but in the other hand you start discovering a whole lot of stuff going on that you never noticed, how could you know. Quite an experience. Thank you Rick.
    10
  2502. Nice job on audio and lighting. Great clip.
    10
  2503. One of the best interviews I've seen in a very, very long time. The sort of thing that you never see in the main stream media these days, but used to. Sort of proves Ted's point....
    10
  2504. Rick is uniquely qualified to ask the perfect questions given his experience as a producer, musician and songwriter. These interviews are thoroughly enjoyable and I have watched many of them several times. Another great conversation.
    10
  2505. I see Rick, I click like. It really is that simple.
    10
  2506. Your best video yet
    10
  2507. Rick delivers again. When he says please like and subscribe so I can do more of these... he means it. Rick..I love what you do. Keep it up.
    10
  2508. Much as I would recommend Dowland, I'd also recommend folks listen to Monteverdi's madrigals (he wrote something like 9 books of madrigals and among the first operas), and if you want something more experimental, try Gesualdo, whose chord progressions sound unusual and interesting even today.
    10
  2509. Man, the B-side of The Joshua Tree is such an undercover monster.
    10
  2510. This brought the feels on for me... You know Rick's never going to let this one go... I mean, he got Metheny... what's next? Is he somehow going to resurrect Miles? At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if he did. Much love Rick, you're the best today and everyday, you win.
    10
  2511. Rick, this is literally one of the best interviews I have ever seen. Even just something to watch on film. You are a fantastic interviewer and so respectful. Wow. Will finish the rest of the video later. Just wanted to say thank you.
    10
  2512. OMG Rick! I can't believe you chose this particular section. I remember hearing this soon after I graduated from high school and have since returned to this section of the record many, many times...such joy. Thank you!
    10
  2513. You were in great hands, my friend. My wife had the exact same surgery with the exact same surgeon almost exactly one year ago. Dr. Gillinov and the Cleveland Clinic are fantastic! Best wishes for a full recovery with no surprises! Now go crush that cardiac rehab.
    10
  2514. Oh my God Rick, listening to this interview was like listening to me growing up. Although I never achieved a level of what this guy has, I've had a great time over the years as both an f o h engineer and multi- instrumentalist and have had a great time with it. I absolutely loved this interview. Thank you so much.
    10
  2515. Amazing! So rare to see Derek do an interview, and then this! Great work Rick.
    10
  2516. I'm a tad late to the party with this one, but, I simply want to say that what you do Rick is a tremendous gift for us all. I am forever grateful 🙏
    10
  2517. In today's episode of: "You Better Ask Somebody", Rick demonstrates why he is beloved amongst the musical community.
    10
  2518. I love your heart Rick. I hope that one day I could meet you and just hang out. You have so much passion not just for music, but for people and you see what hardly anyone else dares to see, The good. You are an exceptional human being. I am so sorry for your loss.i feel like you are already making a huge impact on people but with this video you really touched me. I am sure your friend felt the same way about you and others. God bless!
    10
  2519. This made me incredibly sad. I have no idea this video would go this direction. I admire you Rick for your vast knowledge and willingness to share with us. To hear the heavy sadness come over you as you talked about Johnny the pain became almost palpable. I’m so sorry for your loss. May his soul finally rest.
    10
  2520. Beautiful, Rick. To everyone else, if you haven't heard them, the two Umajets albums are phenomenal. Great musicianship, songs, harmonies, everything and they are as good today as the day they came out. Have a listen.
    10
  2521. I'm almost breathless after this amazing interview. I learned more about MUSIC during this 1:46 than in my entire life as a listener of music and a very basic player. Really and absolutely inspiring. Thank you Pat and Rick.
    10
  2522. Rick, you never fail to amaze me. I’m 1 year older and have said to myself and my bride of 39 years, “I don’t know who I want to be when I grow up.” +24 years in the USCG rising from E1 to a Commissioned Officer, I took everything in stride not “knowing” who I wanted to be. Mad respect to you recognizing your dreams and fulfilling them. Hats off to my wife for supporting me in my indecisions. Today, 3 girls and 4 grandsons later, I have no regrets. I will continue to follow you. Please keep it going! Respectfully, D
    10
  2523. Just started watching this interview and I know it's gonna be great. Rick's interviews not only give us insight into the musicians careers but also get to learn how nice they are as people for sharing their stories with us. Well done Rick!
    10
  2524. Been there, done that. By the way, I'm 61 and you give me hope that I can learn to play guitar.
    10
  2525. Exactly. Rick Beato, in an edited and produced video no less, simply saying "listen to this!" and going back after we just already heard it, and playing it again. It's about really listening. Listening with all your concentration and appreciation for the art unfolding. This is a great video essay by Rick on the importance of listening.
    10
  2526. Great conversation! Ted's observation about how it takes more time to establish a connection seems to be true for this video. When I first saw the length, I thought 'I don't know if I have time for this." But here we are an hour and eighteen minutes later, and I'm glad I watched the whole thing. In other words, I didn't know what I wanted until you and Ted showed me.
    9
  2527. This song is legit beautiful
    9
  2528. "And now we come to the Toto section of our cemetery where we have Toto and also Steve Lukather from Toto!"
    9
  2529. Since watching this channel I've started hearing so much more in the background on tracks. I'm not an audiophile or someone who knows a lot of music theory, but damn I love Rick.
    9
  2530. Love this. Totally remember when songs sounded like that. Brought to mind Pavement, the Pumpkins, Elliott Smith. Better days with more chords. Really dug some of those lyrics too. 100% into getting more videos from the Beato vault please Rick!
    9
  2531. Thanks for this Rick. What I love about you is your deep soulful and aesthetic appreciation of music, which is not tainted all by the deep technical knowledge you have.
    9
  2532. I’m surprised you didn’t bring up the part of Xanny where the song cuts out the heavy bass and and it sounds like something off of Dark Side of the Moon. I think she’s super talented and makes great music, I don’t understand why so many don’t just give it a shot. I listen to metal, sludge and rock mostly but her first album is fantastic.
    9
  2533. This song rocks. That talkback stuff is just glorious
    9
  2534. The best music channel featuring the best living musician. Rick's interviews are the best. He's simply a fan that brings no ego into the mix. He hands the musician the reins and gives them the space to open up and create a thoughtful exchange of ideas. The bar has been set. I will watch this again and again.
    9
  2535. One of my favorite interviews I’ve seen on this channel. Extremely insightful. Just brilliant. Thank you! 🙏🏻
    9
  2536. I used to think I loved music more than anybody until I saw Rick listen to music.🙂
    9
  2537. Rick, I'll skip over the part about how I totally relate to your channel (myself a pro orchestral bassist/professor who really loves the guitar and finally got back to it after 30 years). You don't talk too fast for me, but I wish you would dial back the distortion and reverb when you get into the theory stuff. Whether you do that or not, you'll still be one of the 3 or 4 channels I actually follow and take seriously. You are an inspiration and a lighthouse in these covid times. Thanks, man!
    9
  2538. Rick, getting straight to the point. I would like to thank you immensely for the great work you do on your channel. Your work not only made me continue studying and teaching, but also made me get back to composing. And one more very important thing, I realized that I really need to study and improve my English. Obrigado Rick! ♪
    9
  2539. Thanx Rick for documenting this historical union and getting what you could from the quirky artist's recollections that are the Seattle scene that is and was so important to musical history....again Thanx for everything you do Rick
    9
  2540. I am absolutely amazed that this channel is free and available to anyone. Rick has done more for music education than anyone has accomplished in the last forty years. I hope you get to ten million subscribers.
    9
  2541. Maybe it is the time we’re living, but I almost cry remembering all the sacrifices my mom has made for me... The first song I learned to play was “If I fell” (The Beatles) Thanks for this video, Rick
    9
  2542. Rick you are such a wonderful and kind man. Your contacts with me to see how I'm doing make my day. You are a true friend to those of us you know and that means so much. I'm so sorry you lost Peter but I know from our chats how much you meant to him. You are the best brother x
    9
  2543. Never heard his name before, but will never forget after listening to him !
    9
  2544. It's weird to hear real amps, cabs and mics. It really does sound different than the digital stuff. I love it. Both of the speakers sound great to me.
    9
  2545. I've now watched this 4 times already lol it really is absolutely fantastic, I could have listened to this conversation for another 2 hours no problem. A Part 2 talking about his work after MCIS would be amazing.
    9
  2546. Play me a song Curtis Lowe, Curtis Lowe. All of God’s children have worth, and are beautiful in their way, and are important to someone. Aunt Penny seemed like a wonderful woman, and was clearly loved by Rick and his family, and now because Rick has Shared her with us, she can be loved , appreciated , and Inspire people she never even knew. God is truly miraculous
    9
  2547. No he’s slaying the dragon
    9
  2548. Rick thank you for your honesty and most of all for sharing the years of wisdom that you have accumulated. Not only do you make us better musicians, you make us better people whom understand that music is what brings us together. I will always support your channel as someone whom has built a business from the ground up, your career is just beginning. Thank You
    9
  2549. This is much more than an interview, it’s simply a MASTERPIECE… HOW can just two people talking be so inspiring and entertaining and SO DEEP and insightful about life itself and what it means to build a life worth living… Thank you from the bottom of my heart Rick, I will always cherish the feelings I’ve felt while watching this truthful and absolutely mind blowing conversation. Lots of love and respect from Istanbul ✌🏻
    9
  2550. I love that he doesn't mention the key change at the end, he just turns it up so we can soak in its glory!
    9
  2551. "The two most important days of your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why" -Mark Twain Rick, thank you for all you do!!!!
    9
  2552. I too, got the worst sunburn of my life at Holleder Stadium, Rochester,NY 7/8/83. The Fixx, Flock of Seagulls, and The Police.
    9
  2553. Damn Rick those P90 Gibson's have a better tone than 90% of the guitar work in those songs. Good stuff buddy.👍🏾💪🏽🔥
    9
  2554. BTW, you make the rest of us older guy’s look bad because you are looking so good. You and Stanley Tucci bring style to 60 and older men. The standard of style, making the years look good.
    9
  2555. Five years ago I stumbled across Rick Beato as a new guitar player consuming everything music. It makes me happy to see Rick's channel grow, he's such a knowledgeable and interesting guy. He's opened up a world of unbelievable musicians that are new to me. My mind is blown listening to Tommy Emmanuel! Thank you Rick I will always support your channel great stuff man!!
    9
  2556. I posted this on your last video as well, but I'm here in Utah and I send my mitral repair patients to Cleveland Clinic. Good choice! Dr Gillinov is amazing. He has actually called me on my personal phone late at night once to give an update on a patient that I sent to him that I didn't even remember was there! That's going beyond. Keep on keepin' on!
    9
  2557. I had never heard of Glenn Gould before seeing this video. What came to mind while watching it was that he was the Rick Beato of the sixties. You have given me a greater appreciation for Bach.
    9
  2558. I made comments on YouTube only a handful of times. This one is one of the most meaningful and heartfelt appreciatively thank you I could ever say to a stranger - THANK YOU for exposing me to this! I was naïve in believing that Missouri Sky was the most beautiful instrumental album I have ever heard but now I see I was wrong. I really wish my parents could have showed me this when I was a child. I would definitely be a better musician and a better human being today. Cheers
    9
  2559. The joy of paying your art forward is a blessing. From Steve, to Rick, to… who knows! Rick, you’re like the Ferris Bueller of music. Everyone digs you. The jazz people, the metal heads, the rockers, the folkies, the r & b crowd…They all think you’re a righteous dude.
    9
  2560. I have an Aunt Mary whom I lost recently, whom I held dear to my heart. Thank you for sharing this. We are all so lucky to have not just our immediate families but extended families who teach us, nurture us and help become the people we want to be. Bless your Aunt Penny. Thank you
    9
  2561. One of the most interesting artist and woman ever
    9
  2562. Ward Carroll’s channel is great- it’s an automatic “go to” if you want an educated perspective on US military involvement and actions around the world, or if you just have an interest in military aviation (mostly naval) in general. 👍🇺🇸
    9
  2563. After Rick’s channel, I find Ward Mooch Carroll’s YT channel to be the cream of the crop. Love seeing you all together … 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
    9
  2564. Cresc Endo That solo’s gorgeous Rick. Reminds me of a cross between Slash and Gilmour. So glad you went with strings over strings.
    9
  2565. While there is no doubt your Shinedown work was terrific, Rick, I still have needtobreathe's We Could Run Away from The Heat as my fave best produced song by you. The build up and layers of that song are fantastic.
    9
  2566. Rick not only are you an ambassador to music. You are an inspiration to all! If more people on this planet were like you. I do believe this world would be so much better of a world. Thank you for being who you are. God Bless You and your family!!!
    9
  2567.  @hobie16amateurhour52  I think many people tend to focus on “top” and “all time” which are just click bait. I think Rick is attempting to engage and teach in his rundowns. Given the massive number of songs that fit the categories he selects, it is impossible to issue any definitive list or ranking. I think Rick is offering some food for thought rather than issuing a pronouncement from on high.
    9
  2568. Thinking about his mom spending her whole check to buy him a guitar brings a tear to my eye!
    9
  2569. One of the BEST interviews I have seen. The real deal about big show (concert!) mixing. Too many great take-aways to mention. This is required watching for any aspiring FOH sound guy. Thank you both!
    9
  2570. I am watching this again given how amazing your Aunt Penny was. I am reminded of the beautiful and influential family in my life. Thank you Rick for this heartfelt tribute.
    9
  2571. The immense amount of knowledge I have received in watching your videos, Rick, make it clear that your description of music appreciation is spot on. I’ve learned some theory, I have benefited from your enthusiasm and love for the musical art form. I feel I am a more educated music listener because of what you do and what you’ve done. For a career that touches so much of what I love, what a gift you have given. I am deeply appreciative of what you do.
    9
  2572. Excellent. Both these guys have such engaging ways of putting over ideas and concepts of things which I almost feel, but have no way of articulating, and nurturing a will to learn because it's so damn cool to know what you're doing and what you're talking about. Great to see them together.
    9
  2573.  @ericjdub  There ya go again, stating facts and being logical. Trouble maker!! 😡👹😜🙃
    9
  2574.  @nikibronson133  This isn't a contest about who has the most cultural significance. It's a really unique thing that's impossible to measure. If you're going on sales, Hootie & The Blowfish and The Backstreet Boys sold more albums than Nirvana so it's not like grunge completely dominated the charts in the 90's (Santana, The Bodyguard Soundtrack, also huge). By the way, I've worked with both Alessia Cara and Jessie Reyez (who you mentioned) and a ton of young "soundcloud" artists so it's not like I'm an out of touch relic of the 90's. In summation, different times, different artists, different type of impact. But who else would you say is the Kurt of the young generation? Someone who was a little outside the mainstream who achieved huge popular success and has maintained (and grown it) over several years? Now it's back to work for me, have a good night!
    9
  2575. Listening to the whole EP.. Holy crap Owen is an amazing musician. Lets blow this up 🔥🔥
    9
  2576. Rick, I’m loving the new look and lighting! Great content as always, but you guys really stepped it up to make it look it’s best! Kudos!
    9
  2577. Rick your different- Your channel was called “Everything Music” and it certainly is and as a amateur musician I have learned a lot. While the core is music you share with us you life including stories about your loving parents, such as the sacrifices your Mom made when she bought you a guitar you wanted. I enjoyed the story about your talented Aunt and her ability to play the piano and how it influenced you. While the core is music there is a real wholesome human element to your channel with decent values which is unique and it brings a bit of sunshine in to our life while we are learning something we truly love- I think this is eternal and doesn’t necessarily follow the 5-7 year rule
    9
  2578. I didn’t understand YouTube’s worth until the pandemic. Rick Beato along with Corridor Crew and several other channels provided much needed stimulation and company. A few months back Rick said he wouldn’t be able to interview Dave Gilmour because he had no way of contacting him. Four weeks later we were all watching Rick Beato interviewing Dave Gilmour! He managed to get Rick Wakeman to play the Roundabout solo in his studio!! Whaaaaat?? I think he’s awesome. When he’s teaching he concisely explains a subject in detail but when he’s interviewing he asks a question and then listens along with the rest of us.
    9
  2579. I'm glad I watched to the end. It was your final comment: "there's just certain things that as your life goes on they pass you by, and that's okay." This comment validates some of things in my life that passed me by, and others that I simply let go of. I have done many things that I loved to do, and when it was time I said goodbye to them all, and just let them go. The journey continues. It's a never ending journey of doing what you love, and leaving the place a little better than when you. found it. Thank you for creating this video, and posting it.
    9
  2580. Love it. My ability to follow your train of thought has improved eminently sense I first stumbled onto your channel. Thank you for making music so accessible.
    9
  2581. Finally. For a long time I have asked for a link so we could donate without buying product. Thank you.
    9
  2582. Love this, Rick. There's that prescient metaphor, something along the lines of, "Don't measure a fish's worth by it's ability to climb a tree." We're individuals. If we aren't fostered according to our individuality, we're being told our natural selves are of no value. "Be like this instead," is not good teaching. What a loss it is to suppress the beauty of the individual.
    9
  2583. Rick is now THE GUY to do an interview with if your a legendary musician who never does interviews! Well done Rick!
    9
  2584. Rick, this isn't the hardest video you've ever made...this is the best video you've ever made. This shows us all just how much music connects us all and what a wonderful gift from God music is. We should all grieve for the loss of a powerful life force in our lives leaving us but, in time, we must embrace the time we were blessed to be with them, it's an incredible gift. There's nothing more precious than the time we get to share with someone that we love to be with. May God bless your aunt Penny, and may Jesus Christ let you see each other again soon. Amen.
    9
  2585. I always learn something, tuning in. I had never heard of Allan Holdsworth before. I will check his music out. There are heroes out there that we don't know about. Thank you, Rick, for profiling and highlighting and bringing out some of the major influencers whose legacy might otherwise be unknown. Love this channel, so much!
    9
  2586. Black the Sky! One of the best tracks of all time!
    9
  2587. Rick's advice at 12:40 is true no matter how you mic the kit. 90% of a drum sound comes from a great, internally balanced drummer and well tuned, good sounding drums. The remaining 10%, a great engineer, a good room, good mics & placement and good mic preamps.
    9
  2588. Rick,your interviews with these amazing artists should be in the National Archives.Rarely have I seen any better!
    9
  2589. I'm not a musician or an engineer or anything like that, but hearing all the anecdotes from the industry and the bits about the bands' and stars' personalities is awesome. Totally worth my 3 hours of time, which is not something I can say about most videos that long.
    9
  2590. I hate you Rick Beato! Here I am, enjoying my life, which is all nice and comfortable just repeating the same stuff again and again. Then you bring on Sting, an artist that I never really gave much thought to, and the interview is so interesting and compelling that I now feel that I must go try again to listen to some Sting music to see what it was that I had missed before. I can't believe you would do that to me.
    9
  2591. Thank you for this interview Rick. Longtime SWD fan. Guitar interplay between Adam and Jimmy has always been awesome and inspiring
    9
  2592. Brilliant!!! Thank you Rick!!
    9
  2593. Surprise #1 learned from this stream: Don Henley knew how to have fun once.
    9
  2594. Could you imagine the proliferation of good 90's rock that could have happened if they all had their own Rick Beatos? The production quality, the sound of the drums, the mixing, etc is on point. I love the song. It fits right in there with everything that was great about the mid to late 90's. Failure, Hum, Pavement, Flaming Lips, Sunny Day Real Estate, etc. Record labels were instead focused on the Eagle Eye Cherrys of the world.
    9
  2595. I'm one of those "classic" rock (that was new when I heard it - I'm your age, 58) and blues guys who always knew jazz was a thing but never really listened to it - I liked to be entertained and moved but not... challenged, which good jazz tends to do (as opposed to smooth jazz). But after this, I've made a Pandora station based on Miles and I'm digging it.
    9
  2596. Loved the video as a keyboard player who got into jazz in the late 70s with Metheny's white album. Okay for all of you out there: The first few minutes where Rick goes through rhythm changes is about two years worth of FREE lessons on what you need to know in terms of chord progressions, comping and soloing. Even if you hate jazz but are a good player LEARN how to do this (comp, the chord progessions, and soloing over them). This is a great example of even if you don't like something YOU CAN LEARN an incredible amount of stuff that you can use in your playing. And yes, Rick, I learned tons of stuff that I didn't know about this period before So What and Round Midnight! God bless and thanks for all you do!
    9
  2597. Your interviews are so much better than all other interviews of famous musicians I have ever heard. You can get to the core, because you understand them, and they know that.
    9
  2598. If there's any doubt about the importance of this channel, this interview should dispell it. Great questions, better answers, and an excellent document of one of the greatest musicians to play the bass. Can't wait for part two!
    9
  2599. An honest recommendation: the BeatoBook in a bundle is on sale right now for 40 dollars (50 % off) and it is worth every penny. It includes enough good ideas, shapes and knowledge for a lifetime. Thank you Rick, others would want 40 Dollars for every chapter!
    9
  2600. That Ibanez hollow body looks gorgeous and sounds wonderful, Rick. Love your playing on this video too…you can tell this is the kind of stuff you really enjoy doing.
    9
  2601. Rick...I love your channel, your content and I have your book, quick lessons pro and teach new students with your beginning guitar...I can't wait to buy your new arpeggio mastery course and you are someone I consider a mentor...I'm in recovery from addiction and the only way I make it through day to day is the meditation I receive due to guitar and I will be starting a recovery center eventually to help struggling musicians and artists rediscover there niche' while sober...this is all due to the HELP I RECEIVED AND STILL DO FROM YOU AND YOUR CHANNEL DAILY...KEEPING ME IN THE LOOP...HELPING ME STAY PROGRESSIVE AND ON THE PINNACLE OF WHAT IS POSSIBLE IN THE FUTURE MUSICALLY...THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO SIR!!!
    9
  2602. Love to hear a breakdown of Chlorine & Wine by Baroness. Not sure if it's even something you'd consider but its damn good. Excellent video as usual though!
    9
  2603. This is incredibly vivid and cinematic storytelling. I smiled thinking about your dad the entire time.
    9
  2604. Rick honestly reminds me of how Johnny Carson would conduct his interviews. He introduce his guest, ask a few questions, then just sit back and let the guest tell their stories. Immensely classy.

  2605. I think you've got the right snare sound here but Jack's high hat was closed. Alex tends to play with a tad more open hi-hat, so what we hear with AVH is snare with hi-hat ringing instead of just the snare. That's what's missing for me in this attempt.
    9
  2606. I was transfixed with this interview. I don't know of another time I was so immersed--and I am not a big time jazz person. I have always liked Miles though...and Rick's videos have gotten me interested in the bass line and drum line ( I was never too tuned in--listened to melody and lyrics). Thank You Very Much. It was killer.
    9
  2607. Rick hasn’t learned this as a reporter (although sometimes reporters talk to much as well.) His strength lies in his superb musical knowledge along with him being blessed to be a skillful listener.
    9
  2608. "That doesn't matter… I know what he's doing, and I'm going to tell you what he's doing…" is the best thing I've heard in a long time! Thanks Rick!
    9
  2609. Rick always has an incredible approach to interview those awesome artists with the right questions to lead to great content. Keep it that way Rick 😉👍🏻

  2610. Haha - I’m 10 mins in to this and realised I couldn’t even remember the name of the guy who wrote the article - irrelevant after 10 mins never mind 200 years
    9
  2611. My ears!!! Fair play Rick, you listened to it so I don't have to.
    9
  2612. There are interviewers, and then there is Rick Beato. The best 58 minutes i've spend in a long time.
    8
  2613. This is a gem of a lecture!!
    8
  2614. This is one of the most important interactions with guitar, bass, vocal, and songwriting process to hit an interview. Being Rick is a true fan of his and a true artist/producer/YouTuber educator. His passion transcends to everyone. I as a young kid wearing the cassette “CORE” out every day until I was a Rock/Music fan for life. Devouring anything related to that “new” sound I was experiencing. My true and real emotion was attached to. For the first time the music and bands that were happing in the culture was speaking directly to my inner self in ways I’d not had. I now had a music, a therapy, and an identity beyond my situation. That ten gave me a path to one day learn, play, and write songs with one thing in mind. I want to write music that makes a person feel the way their music made me feel. Music that would carry them on into adulthood and even be passed to the next generation. It was an honor to feel like I was setting in the room now with knowledge of the process with experience. Feeling like that kid that is finally getting to hear in their own words what the process was like for this artist. It couldn’t happen with anyone with an ego. Rick that kid inside you that still loves all this music is why your channel resonates with me. When you react or ask a question I would ask I know you love it as much as me. I imagine so many people also feel that way. I’d love to be notified of his brother and Eric’s video dropping in the future. The music, the history, and relevance of this time until now will continue to be important and influence future kids like all of us.
    8
  2615. 3k+ comments on the same day? EJ's solo put tears in my eyes. Rick couldn't have done Frampton any better (killer), and Phil playing that actor role couldn't have been any better. Just wow. And the rhythm track was totally killer, so kudos to the engineer and drummer. Just wow...
    8
  2616. "You know, I think I'll learn every solo in the song to help with my video". WHAT!!!! This series is one of the best things anywhere on the net. I immediately click when I see a new "What Makes This Song Great" video come out.
    8
  2617. You did it! Well done, Rick
    8
  2618. I met and talked with him when I was about 15 and I learned so much from that meeting and the lecture he held. He talked much about life and to learn to see the options that are in front of you. That if you look there will nearly always be signs telling you what and where to go. I have been to many clinics and he is the one i remember the best and he changed my view on music and life
    8
  2619. My one and only attempt at this song was in a wedding gig, I was so lost I thought, I'll just do funky chicken picking. Total fail. lol
    8
  2620. This video is a perfect example of why Rick has become social media's premier educator. Amazing job Rick 👍
    8
  2621. Just discovered your channel today. Really like what you do Rick. I first listened to Roundabout, then Limelight, now this great song written about Owsley Stanley.
    8
  2622. You're a top bloke Rick. But please don't sing anymore.
    8
  2623. It's so excellent that Rick is a quality musician and cares about great music, musicians' music. I first ran into him looking for input on Claus Ogerman. Awesome that Rick lets his guests talk and play; we get to see the person. There are many pockets of great, deep young musicians today, and at the same time I wonder if the culture is leaving intellectually interesting music behind. Still, there were vapid songs in the 1890s while Ravel composed, and the 50s, while Bill Evans played. Rick is a real treasure for being a deep musician opening the door to others.
    8
  2624. This one made me break down and finally order the bundle. I’ve learned enough from watching your videos that I’m able to understand what you’re teaching.
    8
  2625. This is definitely not the future of pop music, this is what we WISH the future of pop music would be.
    8
  2626. Great visit, Rick. That's actually what I enjoy the most about your channel and approach - you have a platform to be curious, generous and just a tiny bit provocative. You have nothing to prove, and plenty to share - and your joy is palpable. That's what the last turn around the track should be!
    8
  2627. Some Like it Hot - The Power Station
    8
  2628. “Try this at home... but not for too long, or you will get tendonitis.” Somehow that’s the most motivating thing I’ve heard all week. Also, Rick lowkey has the best hair in the game.
    8
  2629. Nice seeing many argentinos and argentinas in the comments. I think it'd be sooo cool to see Rick's reaction to another of our beloved national treasures: Spinetta. Help me with 👍🏽 so we catch Rick's attention 😅
    8
  2630. This Seinfeldian interview worked great. And when Tim went into a Bruce Lee Moment with "you wanna be inside the drum kit" i knew i was watching something really special...
    8
  2631. Well done Rick. Let's have Jimmy Page. Please!!!!
    8
  2632. This seems like the truly definitive Hans Zimmer interview. What else would you need to hear him talk about and Rick's questions are perfect at stimulating the level of interest from Hans to get even more anecdotes and honest insights. Wonderful viewing.
    8
  2633. Listening for the third time. I think this is my favorite of all your interviews.
    8
  2634. I think Rick really touched on something important about music in general with this video, both when he was speaking on the debate around whether or not Kurt "knew what he was doing" and the argument about whether there are sampled sounds on the recording. This series (and honestly, music in general) isn't about "A complete and thorough accounting of every last minute detail of a track"...it's literally in the title. "What Makes This Song Great?" Sometimes I think people get too far up their own rear-ends to realize that sometimes music isn't about an exhaustive knowledge of every excruciating detail...it's about fun. Here we are now...entertain us.
    8
  2635. Rick, your variety is the key to me.... I love all of your content because it varies so much.... I can't ever recall a bad video or something I skipped over. To me you cover "all things music" and that reaches so many people.... Just keep it real, random and fun-loving!
    8
  2636. Same here. Tha ks Rick. Amazing
    8
  2637. Great video with John, Tosin, and Devin! Thank you for the show at Södra Teatern at Saturday!
    8
  2638. I have a stutter...It's been severe my entire life. I'm 39 now but I was always thought to be "slow" or not as smart as the other kids. My mom always worked with me on it and gave me confidence.

  2639. 9:10 He's not clapping his hands, he's trying to get some circulation back into his fingers after that whirlwind of ivory-tickling.
    8
  2640. Hey Rick.. Rex Brown of Pantera here!! We need to hookup man! I’ll get in touch with Rhett or Robert.. Loved your show since before the ‘Demic wave.
    8
  2641. I was born in 88 and the only reason I listen to Simon and Garfunkel, the cars, Gordon Lightfoot, Boston, and many others is YOU!
    8
  2642. Rick is like the kind relative at the wedding reception who, when the drunk uncle grabs the mike and starts slurring his way through My Way says,...Bernie doesn't sing so well but what a lovely tie he's wearing!
    8
  2643. If you’re a musician working with him and see him start doing that... you’re doing it right.
    8
  2644. Rick, This is one of the best guitarists interviews I have heard and you have interviewed so many legendary players. Along with Brian May, Andy is one of my biggest influences, and yes I read all three of their books, fascinating to hear 3 different perpectives of being members of The Police. Stings interview was also fascinating. Yes Steward next would be great... Your channel is inspiring at so many levels..Thank you.
    8
  2645. Former managing editor of Drum! magazine (wrote for a bunch of other musician-oriented outlets too), sticking my head in to say you're a damn treasure.
    8
  2646. Thank you, thank you, and thank you! It just doesn't seem enough for everything you do for the music community and especially these masterful interviews! You can see how much these artists enjoy being with and talking to you! I am so grateful for you, all of the knowledge I have gained from your channel, and for these amazing interviews. These are really important interviews and they will live on forever! Well done Rick! Thank you again! Happy Holidays!
    8
  2647. I hope these interviews with Truly Legendary Musicians make there to the library of congress 👍👍👍👍👍 I believe the All the Artists you have interviewed are so appreciative of your skill as an interviewer, and the appreciation of there body of work. Thank You Rick 👍👍👍👍👍
    8
  2648. I needed this today Rick thank you, Roough day this helped me relax
    8
  2649. Not being a musician, probably 75% of this interview might as well be in another language for me. But being a lifelong Pat Metheny fan, having seen him perform many times, and having even met him backstage, this interview was simply amazing! It almost feels like we are voyeurs inside a very private and intimate conversation. Rick, you have hit it out of the ballpark with this one, my friend. Long live Pat Metheny! Long live Rick Beato!
    8
  2650. Outstanding interview! I've gone back and watched it several times; picking up new tidbits each time! Great job Rick! This is by far the best Sting interview I've ever seen!
    8
  2651. Your gratuitous solo was very melodic and very tasty man. Shame but I hear you when you say that solo belongs in front of a crowd bro. That would be an awesome moment. Alot of good sounds from those bands you featured. Sad stories but they end up being good song writing fodder as a silver lining. As an edit I was writing this comment before you talked about Johnny. That is such a shame but inner turmoil can be so devistating and it sounds like he made everyone else happy but himself and that is so incredibly sad. Sounded like he was a good friend just in the way you talk about him. Sorry for the loss Rick.
    8
  2652. Thank you Rick for being one of the only people Ive seen do meaningful interviews with musicians where most are wasting the musicians time. As a drummer i woud love to see you interview someone like Roy Haynes or Jack DeJohnette.
    8
  2653. I intellectually knew you must have been skilled with an instrument given your life long connection to the music industry, but this video was the first time I saw you actually playing the guitar. You are not just "good", you're a fantastic guitar player!
    8
  2654. At the time of my viewing, it's a 15,000/61 (like/dislike) ratio. I believe that's a record. Also, deconstruction at this level of comprehensiveness normally diminishes my enjoyment of the art in question. However, Rick has enhanced it. Thank you. Best "What Makes This Song Great?" ever! (downloaded in case of deletion)
    8
  2655. You're one previliged guy @jeraldtowle for sharing your experience with Mr. Metheny. I wish I have the opportunity too just like you and the rest of the musicians. All the best.!
    8
  2656. I read a lot of these comments. Nobody answered Rick's question whether there was something similar going on today. Maybe, when the age of record albums began to fade, outlets for talent were too broadly dispersed to shine through to a mass audience.
    8
  2657. This is my favorite interview so far because it’s like sitting at the dinner table with two of my music friends discussing our favorite players and their records. Just two more fans that like stuff that I like. Chris’ stories of his experiences are the icing on the cake!
    8
  2658. Hands down the best interview you have ever done. Ted shows us how important an understanding of history is, and that artists need to know it, too. Bravo, Rick! Keep 'em coming!
    8
  2659. Wow, just wow. If you ever wanna see how to do the perfect interview, this is it. An understanding and appreciation of what your guest can do, dropping breadcrumbs to lead them where you'd like them to go and then giving them the space to actually open up how and why something feels right and special. A beautiful, honest and raw interview
    8
  2660. thank you Rick for exploring Joni's music, this video brought me to tears because it's not only about how the music was made but what it does to us when we listened, whoever we are, and we need that now these days especially, some common ground. I hope there will be some more (moon at the window, black crow, a chair in the sky, help, paprika plains, hissing of summer lawns, barangrill, ......), huge thanks and respect for everything you do, quite new to the community, so many rich contents, wow! greetings from the western part of france
    8
  2661. I left a comment because Rick told me so. On a serious note, I believe that you are fascinated by people who see the YouTube medium differently than you. You always talk with authenticity about what you are passionate about, and people resonate with that. When you have that drive and passion, you really don't want to leave. Unless you are 69 and your daughter graduates, of course.
    8
  2662. It´s so simple and yet we need epic people like her to remind us sometimes. Also, music is a great gift that can empover every moment. It´s the language of human emotions that trancends race and age.
    8
  2663. I love coming back and watching this video over and over. I love Rick’s solo the best but they are all incredible
    8
  2664. "There's just certain things that as your life goes on they pass you by, and that's ok" Between nuggets like this, helping out Matteus Asato when he quit socials, holding Youtube accountable for copyright shenanigans; just Confirms that Rick is YouTubes' Dad: knowledgable, passionate, level headed, and always has sound advice to give.
    8
  2665. So sorry for your loss Rick....a beautiful and heartfelt tribute. It really touched my heart. What a Blessing to have had her in your life (and you in hers), and to have had such a musical family. Thank you for sharing.
    8
  2666. Hi Rick. I just listened again to your solo at the end of Cardinal Motion. I always rated the riff in the Beatles "And Your Bird Can Sing" as my number one favorite. Your solo is now my new number one!
    8
  2667. Rick Beato is an exceptional interviewer. I love music, Mr. Beato lures me into the the details of the Industry. Just wonderful
    8
  2668. Happens to classical guys, too. I was playing horn for Brahms 1st, and moments before a key entrance, I emptied the horn (we do that a lot.) But then I dropped my main tuning slide, and it fell under the riser. Comes the entrance, and I'm on my hands and knees under the riser trying to retrieve the slide. Live performance. You get one chance . . .
    8
  2669. Rick Beatos Importance in this era and environment is very much underrated. Well deserve. At this point he aint just a youtuber media wise, He is one of the best music journalists!
    8
  2670. Rarely leave comments but I was compelled to communicate a heartfelt sorrow for the loss of your loved one Rick. The video tribute and footage of your interview was powerful and told a story. Aunt Penny seemed like an incredible woman with an infectious personality and I’d bet she was loved by many. Thank you for sharing
    8
  2671. Just fantastic. This is what brought me on board to your A+ channel over 2 years and 800k subscribers ago or so :). Thanks for everything you do Rick.
    8
  2672. I was bad at school too, I barely made it through because my interests were elsewhere, in music, sports, and making money I even skipped music classes, as the songs practiced there were too easy for me ( I swear, my music teacher didn't even know what a major seventh chord is without consulting a text book )
    8
  2673. Rick, you are talented and experienced musician asking all the right questions.... pulling back the curtain so we get a peak. Such awesome content. Can't wait to see what you come up with next. Thank you -Mike O
    8
  2674. Never in my life did I think there would be someone so perfect to interview the two guitar gods of my teenage life and onwards. Thank you so much Rick.
    8
  2675. I was so bad in school, flunked a bunch of grades, wound up at San Drago Military Academy in Del Mar... my doctor dad thought I just needed discipline... I found out in high school that I had a learning Disability... But the one thing I'm really good at is playing Guitar and I have never stoped... Im 65 and can still play anything I have all my chops and am learning more... Thanks for what you do Rick...Thanks for sharing...
    8
  2676. Rick, this song, the performances by the players, the production, and in particular your solo, ( I would say one of the most finely crafted, musically coherent and uplifting guitar solos of all time), make this one of my all time favourites. Not only Cardinal Motion but the whole album. I’ve shared it with friends and they absolutely love it. I’ve had the album on rotation for around the past month since seeing your original dedication video. A true representation of what music, music production and quality playing used to be like. I wish I could say the same for the world we live in today.
    8
  2677. Thank you for this interview! What a talent! What a character! Rick Beato is music teacher to the world!
    8
  2678. I rarely comment here, but Rick, I noticed something about your presentation of this episode that seems a little different than other wmtsg's: You exhibit a more joyful presence, and who could blame you, given the song content. I have long loved the beauty of this song, the deep careful poetic attention to the lyrics, and am a big fan of GL. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this song, and for taking a stand for a more reasonable fair use standard here on youtube.
    8
  2679. For some reason, This interview made me feel like I was actually there with them. And when they played ... 😭
    8
  2680. Interviewing has become Rick's super power. His guests appear to genuinely appreciate being interviewed, and Rick's knowledge gets them to open up.
    8
  2681. Nobody conveys emotion like Rick Beato listening to John Williams!
    8
  2682. Mike Rowe mentioned you on his latest podcast The Way I Heard It with Mike Rowe. He said he’s a big fan of your YouTube channel and What Makes This Song Great series. He said he hopes to interview you on a future podcast. I hope that happens.
    8
  2683. Rick, I also just lost my largest musical influence a month ago, my father. I can relate to the pain man. God Bless the people we've had and will have. Hope you and your family the best.
    8
  2684. Ok... This may well be the greatest interview I've ever watched. I'll leave it here, because I'm tempted to write an article about how interesting and entertaining amd cool and educational it was. Gotta thank you for it, Rick. Great job!
    8
  2685. Your are, at heart, an enthusiast Rick ( as well as being a superb practitioner 🙂) and that is why we love your videos - it not a job to you, as you are as much a fan as we are!
    8
  2686. (Who does this? Someone who has perfect pitch, a photographic memory and who has been gigging and playing for many years prior...)
    8
  2687. Back in the 90s, the guitarist Nels Cline said that hearing Sonic Youth for the first time "stroked his DNA." Great film music has always done the same for me, so now I'm very grateful for Rick to supplement my primal response to Newman's music with both an intellectual and emotional interview (and by emotional I don't mean melodramatic - more like the sense of happiness that comes from being among old friends). If there was ever a "best of YouTube" channel, this would belong there.
    8
  2688. Rick Beato Hey Rick, I was wondering if you would reply since this thread blew up. I was going to edit the original comment and suggest you didn’t just in case it caused you any trouble. But I don’t think there’s any trouble to be had, actually!! Looking forward to hearing more on the topic. Maybe I should’ve kept quiet on it? Sorry if I spoiled it 🤭
    8
  2689. What I love the most about what you're doing here: you're not just bringing visibility to the people behind the scenes who have made the music that moved you over the years, you're coming from a place of learning. You're asking how they did what they did, and sharing that knowledge with the rest of us. That is everything. Thank you.
    8
  2690. Rick, It's a shame you never saw Gordon live. I've got to tell this story. I've always been a hard rock fan and Gordon was someone who was just... there... filling between songs. OK, it's 1978 and I'm living in Las Vegas. Friends come up to visit for a few days and the day before they leave, ask if we'd like to see a show? Long story short, we went to see Gordon Lightfoot at the MGM Grand. At this point in time, although I liked Wreck of The Edmund Fitzgerald, I didn't know Gordon from a load of coal. We are sitting Stage Front(!!!!), directly in front of Lightfoot. He starts off with a song, and then goes into Edmund Fitzgerald (OH!!! So THAT'S Gordon Lightfoot)!!!!!!!!!!! For the rest of the concert my jaw hung on my chest... I'd never heard a better live performance from anyone, before or since. In a word, his performance was... INCREDIBLE! Our friends departed for home the next day, the wife and I jumped in the car and headed for the record store where I bought EVERY Gordon Lightfoot album they had, and from that day forward.... Thanks for this tribute to a great singer, guitarist and songwriter. I'm like you - I pick apart a song for everything you bring to light on your 'What Makes This Song Great' series. There are few who match Gordon Lightfoot....
    8
  2691. Now for my praise of this clip. Your love of music in general and admiration of Beethoven is in itself very touching. In addition to providing one of the best pop music analysis channels on YouTube, which in itself is a major achievement, the fact that you are able to make music into a universal subject through submitting videos such as this lifts the level of your work. As a person who is well versed in both pop and classical music I am deeply appreciative of your efforts. Thank you!
    8
  2692. Rick, Bernard, Thank you. There are few YouTube channels who have made positive change to my playing as a musician. Bernard has been influencing my playing forever and I learned something from this video for sure. You ask all the right questions Rick.
    8
  2693. Yes, I'm still watching. Why? You both carry a lot of influence culturally because of who you both are. Your thoughts and opinions matter to your viewers not only when sharing information related to music topics, but also the sharing of ideas with other musicians and people related to the music industry. I hope this kind of format becomes a new force in the changing of minds and toward more forward thinking way of creating music and, having a life doing it.
    8
  2694. Man, I love how a list from Rick has generated so many responses with so many new to me artists that I can now go and discover for myself!! That's what is so great about the time we live in, see a new name in music and have the ability to check them out as you're reading a bit about them, very cool! Thanks Rick and Layla for filling my day with new music and artists to check out, and to all those who commented for the same reason!!
    8
  2695. this has to be one of the finest and most interesting videos I've seen this year, EXCEPTIONAL STUFF
    8
  2696. Love you man. Not only do you teach me the nuts and bolts of the how and why good music sounds great but you also turn me on to music by bands I might have never discovered on my own. Thank you! Love these guys and have them added to all of my playlists.
    8
  2697. I cannot believe Ron Thal plays a fretless guitar, his intonation is impeccable
    8
  2698. preach on!
    8
  2699. Ricks the original OG creator of the Pop Punk genre 🤩
    8
  2700. Another educational and useful video! Nice work guys.
    8
  2701. That was really fun. I love the EVH take. Maybe better than the original!
    8
  2702. P90 to rule em all
    7
  2703. At first I was afraid because I thought Rick is gonna talk about some kind of rock solos or such, but then I heard Oscar Peterson and I had no worries anymore :D
    7
  2704. Rick's chanel is the most unfathomable thing I have ever come across . He is the no doubt the greatest interviewer that has or ever will exist .
    7
  2705. Rick, that to me is one of the best solo's I have heard. So much feeling in it, it makes my hairs stand up. I am sure Johnny was proud of what you did and your time together. RIP Johnny Diamond
    7
  2706. Meryl Streep should play her in the biopic. When's that happening?!
    7
  2707. Not a musician, just a music lover, and I found your channel recently. Can't tell you how much I enjoy your videos. It is the perfect blend of music knowledge/theory and accessible content for non-musicians. Awesome!
    7
  2708. What incredible opportunities this channel and your knowledge and personality have given you. Such great guests and interviews. Bravo!
    7
  2709. What you bring Rick is a renewed joy in what was just a pretty tune for me. Even though I don’t follow all your analysis (names of chords and such), I find myself buoyed up and mesmerized my your gifts. Thanks for what you do.
    7
  2710. My face hurts from smiling for 1h46m. This is one of the best interviews of anyone ever. Thank you so much, Rick, for making this happen!
    7
  2711. My favourite takeaway 💡 - writing a lyric is something in-between a poem & a melody! Thank you Rick & Björn such a great conversation!
    7
  2712. Tower Of Power, Kool and the Gang-- god!! NOW you're talking my language!!!
    7
  2713. Rick, you had a movie length moment with Pat and it was so intuitive.I’m a composer/guitar player who just got revived from this interview.Thank You
    7
  2714. Please keep doing this! My band gets featured on that playlist a good bit and I’d freak TF out if you ever come across one of ours on your channel 😂. I’d take that over a Grammy any day 😉🤘
    7
  2715. Thank you, Rick. Thank you for your kind words of encouragement. Your stories are edifying to so many people - Thank you for taking the time to share from your experiences! Artists need encouragement and you are giving so much back to us all. Thank you for giving us hope. Seriously.
    7
  2716. 8:32 - I wonder why he didn't put Thunderstruck on it. 8:34 - Rick: "Ok, so some of you are going to be thinking why I didn't put Thunderstuck on it." And this is why I wait until the video is over before commenting.
    7
  2717. Hey Rick, did you see Lee's short YouTube video saying how much he enjoyed this interview?
    7
  2718. I’ve been watching and following Rick since he started showing his amazing son Dylan skills years back and I’ve seen him growing his channel to this, and can only say he is one of the best things has happened to music lately great job Rick keep it up

  2719. This story is great! Good guy through and through. I've never commented on your short example videos because I just assume you already know how mind boggling your ideas are. (I'm going to say my thought anyway) Your creativity takes straight ahead music theory(s) and blows them up to jaw dropping possibilities. I love melodic lines and they just pour out of your brain! 😁 Amazing sounding guitar too.
    7
  2720. This is absolutely legendary. The best interview he's ever done by a mile!!! We are so lucky! Thank you Rick!!
    7
  2721. I enjoy watching both of your work, maybe not because you know so much, but because you seem genuinely curious - and we need that more than we need people who just know stuff. And yes I saw this video to the end :)
    7
  2722. The fact this video is free is beautiful. Thank you Rick.
    7
  2723. this is by far the BEST interview of ANY Musician, EVER done. This Interview is a Piece of Art itself !
    7
  2724. Something strange just happened....I've never heard much Pat Metheny music and other than seeing him in 80's guitar magazines, 90% of the time I had no idea of who he was referring to with Rick but I was literally hanging on his every word!?....he may be in the running for "World's most interesting man" Thank you Rick for 1:46 of gold.
    7
  2725. This is Rick beato's "Ted talk"
    7
  2726. I don’t even play an instrument but I watch every video of yours because you make sense of music where before music was a complete mystery to me. I can see why you have such a huge and growing fan base.
    7
  2727. I have played the Bach cello G a million times and I’m astonished and in love with this and have never heard such creativity in a variation that is so seamless with the original version. Thank you for this.
    7
  2728. Hey Rick! What makes this song great, “Mississippi Queen”? Let me know!
    7
  2729. It's CRAZY when you think about how that amazing solo by Barney Kessel was somehow overshadowed.
    7
  2730. This is amazing Rick. There is simply nowhere else to find content like this. I love DiMeola. For the first time, I was reminded of that Night Music/ Sunday Night TV show that ran for a couple years in the late 80s. Any genre can show up. The only common thread is excellence!
    7
  2731. It was almost a mini skit, but for a lovely reason.
    7
  2732. I love listening to Rick and how truly nice and spproachable the musicians he brings on his shows are......just wonderful.
    7
  2733. this doesn't felt like an inteview, felt more like a 2 old friends conversation..... great❤❤❤
    7
  2734. From Joni Mitchell to Lamb of God
    7
  2735. Sorry; I got interrupted in my comment. THIS IS A GREAT INTERVIEW! Loved every minute of it, thank you, Rick. I'm heard you talking about so glad you did it - the last time I heard you talking about an interview with Pat Metheny, you said he hadn't consented to one yet, but then I heard you say you had done one, and I went searching, and here it is!! EXCELLENT interview! You truly are a blessing to all us music lovers who can't play a note, but sing at the top of their lungs in the car, in the shower, doing the dishes; well, you know:. ALL the time. Much love to you, Rick; and here's to many, many more!💖
    7
  2736. What a cool dad Rick had in giving such an incredible record that broadened his level of understanding of Music Theory at such a young age. This Joe Pass record was mentioned in a previous video and I checked it out and it quickly became one of my favorite records. I am tearing up right now thinking about my own father, he was a Good Man Who Loved jazz. Now I am going to order this record because of Rick's dad
    7
  2737. In the age of powerpoint and flash animation, whiteboard is still king
    7
  2738. Awesome interview. Christopher's such a humble and talented guy. Rick's interviewing skills are all class and his enthusiasm keeps shining through. Love this channel. Love your work Rick and your choice in music and special guests!
    7
  2739. Thank you for honoring Lyle Mays. His songs have so much beauty, and glorious textures. 300 years from now this is the music from our era that survives.
    7
  2740. I’ve been a huge fan…found you about 3 or 4 years ago. Standing in beer lines at concerts, I often talk about your videos and amazed most people know you and watch your videos! I feel like I came late to the party! So appreciate what you add to my life and enjoyment of music!
    7
  2741. This impressed and touched me so much, I shared it to my Facebook page, and made the following comments... "Rick Beato has a YouTube channel that I subscribe to and watch from time to time, and it is dedicated to all things guitars -- always very compelling, enjoyable, and informative. I don't know Rick personally, of course, but the content and sentiments of this episode may be far more valuable than he realizes. It is centered around music as a framework, but it is not really about music at all. It is about the one thing in life that is most important, something we are so blessed to have, if we have it, and that is family... even if it is just one individual. We all should be so blessed to have an Aunt Penny. I was mesmerized and to tears, watching and listening... it speaks to the heart and soul. It is nearly 20 minutes long, so stick with it from start to finish... it is worth it." ... and followed that with the quote from Aunt Penny about being around a long time, dogs barking, and going with the flow. Thank you, Rick Beato, and God bless you and your family.
    7
  2742. Wow, this guy is incredibly talented . How come he isn't a household name?
    7
  2743. Greg is awesome, but also congrats for the miking and mixing Rick. The sound is stunning!
    7
  2744. Why no talk about '99th Dream'...a masterpiece of shoegaze?
    7
  2745. WOW!!! This is a kind of interview that all of so-called "musicians" like me wants to see!!! There's no any flaw in this interview, every single second is full of information!!!
    7
  2746. Did he say "hold my beer" before he started playing? Should have.
    7
  2747. Love it Rick. Just think of the problem solving you learned putting that demo together. What a great foundation for the artist you've become.
    7
  2748. Aydin's music in the background completes this. Thank you, Rick.
    7
  2749. Here goes Rick influencing my music choices for the next 3 months. Just bought Freedom Jazz Dance. Exactly what I needed to hear right now. Amazing. Loved this interview, Rick.
    7
  2750. rick, i'm so sorry for your loss...this video made me cry...the light in her soul was evident and the impact she had on you...how wonderful to have an aunt like that...it was obvious to me how much she adored you...such a heartbreaking loss...i lost my mom at thanksgiving 5 years ago...my heart goes out to you, man.
    7
  2751. Rick covering unforgettable 90’s artists. Love it. BUT I’m still waiting for “What Makes This Song Great” and he picks any of the Bush songs from this era. Machinehead, Comedown, Little Things, Everything Zen..list goes on. We want Bush! Where’s the love?!
    7
  2752. You present music history in a way unlike no other. This is my new favorite channel on youtube.
    7
  2753. Loved this interview. Skunk is one of the OG's in my book. I so appreciate the intimacy you create with all your interviews. You invite us in to share their memories. As a lifelong musician, I'm right there nodding my head, listening and loving it all. I believe you to be one of the best interviewers, bar none.Your legacy will continue long after these musical giants enter the eternal pantheon beyond.
    7
  2754. This was FANTASTIC! and love the NO BS about him. Fantastic WOW. Thank you for yet another awesome interview. !
    7
  2755. Mezcal Head was so well produced that it still sounds out. The mix is just so in your face and punchy. It sounds so powerful. Alan Moulder and the lads produced such a masterpiece. Rick, hearing you and Adam play "Girl on a Motorbike" together gave me total gooseflesh...holy crap!
    7
  2756. Great Video! The Stevie Wonder surprise is brilliant....the other examples were so varied, and surprising...the video is full of surprises - while being ABOUT Surprises💥💥💥
    7
  2757. It was a shame Rick never got to do an in-depth interview with Allan...
    7
  2758. Rick, you paid a lot of attention to the look of this video and it shows. I like the multiple camera angles and lighting. The over the shoulder shot is particularly nice. It gives a really nice perspective
    7
  2759. Who are you to tell him how he should feel about it?
    7
  2760. This is hilarious….and you’re enthusiasm is so amazing and sweet. Truly delightful. This is one of my favourite ren pieces to play around with and any combination of voices and instruments will give beautiful and surprising results. And no, we don’t all sit around in ren costumes. Who has time for that?
    7
  2761. well this youtube thing is a thing you’re really good at, i started following in 2016 and content has always been great
    7
  2762. As a licensed CPA by day and guitarist by night, I LOVE this, Rick. Brought a warm fuzzy to my heart.. 🥹
    7
  2763. Another home run. Rick, you are influencing the music world in so many great ways just by opening up all these spaces for discussion of things that have nowhere else to happen - but are hugely important for musicians and fans. Thank you for what you are doing.
    7
  2764. I've been struggling a lot lately in school and with my self esteem. I really needed something like this, thank you.
    7
  2765. I love that you're using your platform to spread the word about some great musicians!
    7
  2766. Country western
    7
  2767. Surprised that Rick has seemingly never heard the term "case queen" to describe an old guitar in great shape due to not being used much.
    7
  2768. Congratulations on being elected to the Rochester Music Hall of Fame!
    7
  2769. Love the clean borders of the dual view. What method did you use to achieve this? Very very clean and highlights the focal points
    7
  2770. Rick is like the dad I never had and the adult I'll never be... Amazing amazing video, as always! Love Karnivool.
    7
  2771. "can you do the Bonham thing?"..."SURE!"....And he just happens to have kick ass Ludwig kit on standby! That's BADASS!
    7
  2772. I'm in lockdown mode right now which is a great time to binge watch all the Rick Beato videos, practice guitar and listen to a lot of great music I missed along the way. Thanks, Rick, the time and effort you put into your videos. Have you considered an interview with Tomo Fugita?
    7
  2773. I love how your channel has covered everything from Giant Steps, to Holdsworth, to Losing My Religion.
    7
  2774. At 13:37, you talk about how the voices in the background become brighter. It's true! The example you play sounds as though EQ was involved at least a little bit. But as someone who has done a lot of choral writing, I think it's important to underscore what you are saying here: just think of singing "ewwwww" (a closed vowel) and then opening up to "ahhhhhh" (an open vowel). It's just naturally going to be brighter. This is done with vocals from across the spectrum of rock/pop music to concert choir to Bach. That closed quality suddenly opening up can produce shivers, especially in the context of the harmonies being used. Love your discussion of the "space" used in this song, so appropriate for the song title. Kudos also for pointing out how the first chorus arrives with no crash. I never noticed that before. Why? I totally would have put a crash there. I think I've been imagining it being there for years. Lesson learned!
    7
  2775. So glad you did this. I have had a dual career as both a ProgMetal electric bassist and Early Music specialist. And I used to have my students do research papers on another influential lutenist/experimental scientist Vincenzo Galilei (Galileo’s Dad) who probably more than anyone else is responsible for popularizing the development of music as we know it today through his involvement with the Florentine camerata (essentially melody over a bass foundation), and also along with Johannes Kepler applying experimental science to Pythagorean assumptions. In the early 2000s I was hired by the McNally-Smith college of music to co-develop the Music History sequence for their new baccalaureate program. Also - Zeppelin was tapping into the folk revival zeitgeist of bands like Fairport Convention, Steeleye Span, The Pentangle etc And really there is no more beautiful phrasing than Sandy Denny singing “Banks of the Nile.” No wonder they chose her for Battle of Evermore and gave her her own symbol of three interlocking triangles There is a way in which she treats the word “Slender” that just kills me every time. - If you ever get a chance check out Jordi Savall’s ensembles and solo works; and I dig Ton Koopman’s treatment of Bach- he has a great semi staging of the Coffee cantata. - finally Josquin’s “Mille Regretz” is the most perfect song /chanson in Western Music 😉 You are an incredible educator, Rick! Thank you. 🤘☮️❤️🌍 Xenia from Minnesota
    7
  2776. I never imagined that there would be a way in which I could enjoy this beautiful piece more than I already did; but your deep dive into the details has accomplished that. Thank you. 🙏
    7
  2777. Same!
    7
  2778. The original piece sounds like Claus Ogerman - to me, anyway...
    7
  2779. All of these videos in the series are great, but the level of detail in this one and breaking down the melody puts this as one of, if not the best video yet. That's a huge compliment on your production value and how you've improved as a video maker, not just that the song is great.
    7
  2780. When you get old, in order to get your mind off the realty that your expiration date is coming up, you listen to music that reminds you of a time when you were younger.
    7
  2781. My dad 'passed away' in 2004, also. He would be 100 next year. Sadly, I have no happy memories of our time together. Cherish those memories, Rick. He clearly formed a big part of who you are today, and we are all the better for that.
    7
  2782. I'm not gonna lie, when I saw how long this video was I had second thoughts. But I trust Rick to not waste my time, so I decided to listen for 10 minutes. After about 5 minutes I was hooked and wanted to hear the whole thing. I'm so glad I did. Thank you for your talk, Ted. I truly hope someone does what you said and lets you go give money to talented artists to do whatever they want and support them as a patron like Bach or Beethoven.
    7
  2783. It takes a lot for me to sit still for almost 2 hours. This was a wonderful interview. It belongs in the Smithsonian right next to Bright Sized Life. ❤️🔥👏
    7
  2784. I’m cracking up. Rick gets into this music like I do. Rick is so talented as a musician but what I really love is how he gets lost in the music. Keep on rocking Rick!
    7
  2785. This is an incredible interview of one of my musical heroes. I'm grateful to you Rick for making this happen.
    7
  2786. This is a masterclass, rather than interview😳 and it is free. Thank you @rickbeato🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
    7
  2787. The GHOST of Rick Beato. This is crazy, because I would frequent Buckhead Music .....a lot. From when Dave was up there right as you hit Peachtree from the Roswell Rd. intersect (by the Buckhead Theatre/ or The Roxy back then) to when he moved to the location on Roswell Rd. , further north (the pic you posted) . I bought a couple guitars from Dave and still have them. Dave had those 2 little Beagle dogs - one was named Rose , she was kind of elderly at the time. Seems like I vaguely remember seeing you hanging around , I guess in between guitar lessons...?? I dont know - maybe. So weird seeing the photo of the old Buckhead Music shop - I hope Dave is doing great : he's a great guy. Ha! And I do remember the huge Blockbuster Music up close to Mid Town/Piedmont Hospital area - I used to go in there a bit too , when I had the time. That time frame : the early 90's was a great time to be living in Atlanta , a lot going on (then again, when isn't there a lot going on in Atlanta?) Shame I never formally met you , Rick - kinda seems like I know you , after watching so many of these awesome videos you come out with . I commend you on your success of this channel , it is a great hub of learning and furthering the journey of guitar. God Bless.
    7
  2788. Such a thoughtful interview. When an interviewer is as knowledgeable as Rick can go toe to toe on technical things, it really draws the best answers out of Daniel. And what great insights into the making of such great albums. No one makes albums like Lanois. Desert island stuff.
    7
  2789. Making dinner while I listen I'm like "wow some of these songs have awesome guitar par..." *I look up from the cutting board* oh wait that's Rick playing ha
    7
  2790. Awesome interview RICK, congrats on making it happen. More than happy to support, cheers.
    7
  2791. "Ideas come and go, but songs last forever." I love that Bono quote! I will have to remember that!
    7
  2792. Thanks for your content Rick. It’s helped me through depression. All the best
    7
  2793. reading just a sampling of the comments here you can see what a truly profound impact Tori's music has had on so many. She is catharsis in human form here on earth. If you've ever been to one of her concerts, you know what I mean. it could be like a crucible. thank you, Rick for such a wonderful, respectful interview. thank you, Tori, and your muses, your guides, your spirits for bringing us this incredible music.
    7
  2794. Rick - your skills as an interviewer are really exemplary - you've really grown. Great questions.- great space for the responses. Less interruptions. Much better flow - structure and pace to really match the interviewee. Loving your work... Even More!
    7
  2795. He dosent care about personal lives and gossip. Just the music and the artist.
    7
  2796. I'd never had that thought before in my 10 years of watching youtube, but I'd pay to promote this video on youtube and elsewhere. This is singularly & tremendously important. Great. Job.
    7
  2797. Holy MIC 🎤 DROP That is definitely how you listen to music!!!! Top 3 of all your vids NO DOUBT! Cheers
    7
  2798. Rick is not just teaching music, he's teaching life! Love this!!
    6
  2799. This was like saying, “hey I would like you to rewrite a chapter to the Bible… You know… The part where Jesus comes back? Yeah rewrite that!” Great stuff lads💥 For the next solo? Joe Walsh’s solo I Hotel California.
    6
  2800. Your interview is like the difference of watching a football game with a former player or coach commentating who has a true love and knowledge of the game vs. some T.V. personality with very little of either. Rick, your a coach and expert on the field of music. I'm sure those you are interviewing enjoy being interviewed by you as well
    6
  2801. It's very touching how you share goodness to the world while remembering your great times with your dad. Thanks for sharing those memories with us. I dont know you personally but I can tell you are a great dude. I love your channel. Keep it up!!
    6
  2802. Now we're talking. Rick, it's because of this kind of work I love your channel.
    6
  2803. A perfect moment for a time like this.. Appreciation of the greatness, the virtuosity we abandoned for the last 20 years.I am close to ITALY RED ZONE. Before human race will return to default..This is the REAL ACHIEVEMENTS of LIFE. THANK YOU RICK.
    6
  2804. One thing I really love about Beato is that he has such respect for soooo many different genres of music. He just loves well constructed music. He is not very dogmatic about what makes great music...he just appreciates great stuff...it can be Joni, or The Cure, or Coltrane, or John Williams, or Journey, or Alice In Chains. He has reverence for the music...Bravo
    6
  2805. I remember Fozzy were playing in Dublin in 2017. Me and Rich are good mates too. We were all backstage and Jericho, Rich and me were all talking about your YouTube channel. The boys were telling me that you helped produce All that Remains and co-wrote Enemy. Would love to see Rich on this channel too. His tone is amazing! Pure balls!
    6
  2806. I've been watching you since you started on youtube and I have to say that was one of the best and most enjoyable interviews I've ever seen. Not just from you but ever.
    6
  2807. That photo of you and your dad had me welling up - lost my father a year ago to Alzheimers and I'd give anything to spend a day with him like we did when we were younger. 🙏
    6
  2808. Funniest line: "I mean I rarely buy guitars... I almost never buy guitars."
    6
  2809. Rick's "secret" as an interviewer is simple: natural empathy.
    6
  2810. Hey Rick, possibly a little inappropriate to ask, but would there be anyway you could show some of us slightly more inept guitar players how to play that solo?! It's such a beautiful piece of music, I for one would love to know how you do it! Best wishes.
    6
  2811. Nice video, Rick! I run a channel with a fairly fixed schedule and I sometimes experience the stress that it creates, but I'm also 100% with you that choosing the content that we WANT to create makes it all far more enjoyable and far less stressful. I'm a regular viewer of yours, but a rare commenter (on any channel). I felt compelled to comment today though to say thank you for the very natural (I'm avoiding the word, "authentic") and honest way you show up in all your videos! I hope, for our sake, that your retirement is still a long way away. 🙂🙂
    6
  2812. I can confirm. I also bought it and it's amazing. Really clear and complete info.
    6
  2813. Love this!!! You breakdown 'everything music' so well. Have been watching your channel for years and years and continually point new people to it. Your interviews are the best out there! And you interview all of my fave musicians! It's always great to see the musicians open up to you once they see that you know as much about their music as they do. The Sting interview especially. In the very beginning he was like, ok, another interview, lets get this done, but then you started to talk and you could just see his enjoyment as the interview proceeded. That is pure Rick Beato! Loved it! You're a class act Rick and we are so fortunate to have you out here sharing your wealth of knowledge with us. So happy that this channel has had such great success and has become such a great platform for you. Thank you so much! 🎶🎸🎶
    6
  2814. it's now 01:50 in the morning and I have to get up at 6am. I have not planned to stay glued to this but finally it came to an end. Good night! Just in case some here cannot follow - it was WONDERFUL!
    6
  2815. An absolutely fantastic interview. Rick brings a perspective to these things that is lost to the typical radio and tv interviewers. Rick can talk on the artists’ level like none other and it’s so obvious the comfort level they have with him. None of the idiotic, redundant questions that everyone else asks. You get to hear stories and anecdotes never heard before. It’s true history of the music of our lives. This is stuff is the modern version of “liner notes” on steroids. Keep it up Rick.
    6
  2816. What I like about Rick's videos is that he always say "MY TOP" whatever rather than the pretentious "THE TOP". He gives his opinion and that's great. BTW, I'm usually about 90% with Rick's picks.
    6
  2817. Long time Beato subscriber and viewer (and fan). It pretty much goes without saying - Rick is as rare as they come in terms of his knowledge, brilliance, warmth, talent, and insight. He has managed to string together some of the all-time greatest interviews that I trust will be revisited over and over as the appreciation for these legendary artists, mixers, producers, musicians, etc. grows. A word on Clearmountain: to say I'm a fan is a patent understatement. A trailblazer, the real deal, a sweet person, on the right side of music as an artform. Back to Rick: I've spent countless hours watching interviews of my favorite musicians, producers, engineers, mixers, etc. So, I've seen numerous prior interviews of practically all of the people Rick interviews and Rick seems to ask all the questions that I wished others had asked and didn't. Hats off to you Rick.
    6
  2818. I'd Rather Go Blind/Tennessee Whiskey
    6
  2819. What Makes this special?? Easy Answer.... ERIC VALENTINE!!! Hands down some of the best production in rock history.
    6
  2820. The emotion of this track reminds me of Planes Over the Skyline
    6
  2821. Did we just really listen to and enjoy teen spirt with one of the creators. Rick what the hell just happened. Thank you so much for this crazy interview!
    6
  2822. He has got the keys to the planet!
    6
  2823. I liked this review. Yeah not a huge fan of most of these songs but the real fun is watching and listening to you comment on the music. Great video Rick!
    6
  2824. That dude sure could swing. What a legend. RIP.
    6
  2825. Literally just saw you at NAMM and gave you a high five Rick! Hope I wasn’t interrupting your night! You’re awesome!!
    6
  2826. I hear you Rick. I'm a film composer and years ago, I stopped using a click track altogether. It's how the music breathes.
    6
  2827. Hey Rick! I’m a hypnotist by trade and we can work miracles when we have rapport with the client. It’s a real skill and you have it in spades. In almost all videos I smile at the content or laugh or cry, but with you, it’s definitely “With”. Keep up the good fight!
    6
  2828. "We all need to bark. " Aunt Penny Rose. Words of incredible wisdom.
    6
  2829. Mr. Jarrett is one of these all too rare musical savants. To play one instrument with skill, creativity, dynamics and nuance is one thing, but to display mastery over others is yet another. I'm gobsmacked by his intuition, timing, phrasing and intonation. Never saw the man live, and envy those of you who have. While it saddens me that he has lost the ability to play with his left hand, he'd still be amazing with one.
    6
  2830. I am blown away by your ability to present important musical FACTS that propel musicianship into any interested performer or listener. Brilliant.
    6
  2831. I just love Rick's passion for music, he gives it all. I love this music too, it's been a long time since I listened to it but he has rejuvenated my interest. Once again by going back an analyzing old works he either introduces people to them or gets people wanting to listen to that music again. Every artist and every label should be thanking him and monetizing all his videos.
    6
  2832. This is one of the best interviews I've seen with any musician, producer or songwriter. Fascinating and shows the importance of the interviewer knowing the subject ahead of time. Two of the brightest and well-versed people in music discussing how magic happens.
    6
  2833. This is the best musician interview I've ever heard! Rick, you really pulled some great info out of Pat. His detailed answers were enlightening. In addition to his musical abilities, he's a great human being. Thank you Pat & Rick!
    6
  2834. Whenever I feel miserable. i watch Rick 'Mr.Happy' Beato. Always brightens my day. Thank you
    6
  2835. This is just an outstanding, insightful, and entertaining video. I'm going to be using it for my Music Business class (if that's ok!).
    6
  2836. I've been watching this video constantly even though I took notes. After the Bible, this video is my go to. Rick has transformed the quality of my recordings in a short time. I send everyone I know doing home recording here. A friend was impressed after I sent him this link and he want's Rick's book.
    6
  2837. @siriusfeline ❤️❤️❤️ My eyes kept welling up too! 🥲 And now I want to watch this with my wife and son who know how much this song means to me. ❤️
    6
  2838. Your music joy spreads to me and many others, thank you, to you and Allan🎸
    6
  2839. This has to be the interview of the year. Amazing stuff thank you Rick.
    6
  2840. Hey Rick, I appreciate your response to my question last night. You said something that caught my attention... that people won't listen to your music, etc. I gotta say, me and I'm sure a lot of other people who follow you would love to have a package offered with your music and transcriptions of the albums. I'd buy the hell outa that.

  2841. My Mom is in a nursing home, so now I go. Many of the people there are just "stars" of a show that only a few have seen. As they pass on, the loss is incalculable. It's no wonder that ancestry is so revered by so many cultures. It certainly is by me. I know that Aunt Penny would wish me to have a great day. I will do it in her honor. Thank you, Rick, for the sentimental tribute. Here's to forever.
    6
  2842. I could listen to these two all day, and I don’t even play guitar. I’m a drummer.
    6
  2843. Thank you for this video Rick. This is the most I've heard Joe just talk about music in general. I really liked what I heard 😊 I know Joe collects many different guitars and amps, so I always admired his gear gas ha. But after this video, I really like him as a person and player. Cool dude. And so are you Rick.
    6
  2844. Totally, this right here is why I watch YouTube. Why the hell would I ever want cable?
    6
  2845. Yes. Jam IS a singer! Glad she was there!
    6
  2846. Rick has been producing next level content since day one. Thank you Rick Beato. You are an amazing force in the internet today.
    6
  2847. Teaching me about musicians I've never even heard of. This (amongst many other reasons) is why I try to watch all of your videos.
    6
  2848. Rick Beato, you are single handedly creating an unrivalled and invaluable archive of music history and knowledge with all these long form interviews. … Please Rick, do Brad Mehldau next .. PLEASE.
    6
  2849. Rick is an excellent interviewer because he’s a great listener—well, of course he is! He built his entire career on LISTENING!!
    6
  2850. I'm very fond of this kind of music, and it gets a bit more colorful sometimes when played on unusual instruments. I don't know, Rick, if you've ever heard of the Ukrainian musicist Aleksandr Hrustevich, you can find some videos of him playing from Domenico Scarlatti to Vivaldi to Piazzola on his bayan - the Russian button accordion. It's mindblowing, extremely beautiful, and worth a look. One of my favorite composers from any time is D. Scarlatti, and there are lots of videos os people playing his sonatas on instruments that they were not written for, especially accoustic guitars.
    6
  2851. Oh my word Rick !! This is insane, I'm supposed to be mixing a pop ballad right now, just flicked your video on as I was getting coffee -- I was born a couple of months after this concert. Like you, I was extremely lucky and privileged to experience music like this from a very early age. Made be a jazzer (piano) for life ! Stay safe and well, Peter
    6
  2852. “I got to talk to Paul Buckmaster once…” This is what separates and elevates Rick Beato above all else. The Professor’s connections provide insight and convey the authority of “been there, done that, knew them, played it, taught it…was there then and bringing it to you now”.
    6
  2853. In terms of practical applications, most of these have very limited use outside of extremely niche genres/moods, and that is the reason why most music don't use them.
    6
  2854. I wanted this interview to never end
    6
  2855. “Surprise me…”, that’s pretty powerful. I never really thought of music like that but it’s absolutely true for me. That’s driven my voracious appetite for new music. Unfortunately it’s becoming harder to do. Rick is on a roll…keep em coming. These are great interviews, extremely intelligent questions that are sensitive to the music on many levels. As a fan I couldn’t ask for more…thank you Rick.
    6
  2856. I have watched Rick for years now. He is not a music "creator" as far as I can tell. BUT he is a master music mechanic and can take apart any music. What he really is is a genius teacher who constantly exposes us to new (to me anyway) music and musicians. I remember when my music professor at SUNY Albany put on the greatest hits of 1756? and played the whole album and just blew my mind. Rick Beato is like the world's music professor. He is a gift to all of us. Keep going Rick there is a lot more for us to hear.
    6
  2857. What a great conversation Rick. I had a 100% + fun time watching this. Satch is such a nice guy. I'm 63 and I felt like sitting on a bar hearing an old lost friend from my neighbor. He is so humble, direct, clear, I've finished this video with my belly full and my heart renew. Thanks again Rick, for your incredible talent.
    6
  2858. I love it when you get to meet your heroes and raise the musical IQ of the whole internet! Merry Christmas!
    6
  2859. Man, I could listen to you two talk about music for days and end up wanting more. What a great piece of conversation. Thank you very much.
    6
  2860. Man, Rick! Right now, you are doing the best content in YouTube! I didn't expected Plini at all! Awesome band, love their sound!
    6
  2861. Hey Mister Beato , first things first , I would like to thank you deeply for your work ! I was blown away by the Keith Jarret , Joni Mitchell ,Pat Metheny interviews , not to mention the objective , practical, direct music theory classes ! Keep up the good work !
    6
  2862. Brother to Brother.......MAGIC. Next level Rick. Smiles, Bobby
    6
  2863. Forever impressed with your ear and guitar chops. Doing your ear training course is top of my list right about now. Love your content Rick. Guitar for life!
    6
  2864. I majored in piano, got married for 17 years, had three children, couldn't play the piano, started Youtube channel, started composing songs and practicing piano again. I know it's hard to find my old technique again, but I'm so happy and happy to touch the piano and compose music again. All the songs that I write are improvised. I love the musicians who enjoy improvisation. I'll come to learn a lot.
    6
  2865. Rick: make P90s great again in metal. What a tone that Les Paul!
    6
  2866. I'm well into my sixties. I have been playing, listening to and appreciating music since I was ten. I think l've learned more from this channel in that last few years than I have in fifty years. Thankyou Rick.
    6
  2867. I think in a couple of hundred years from now, people will still be watching this interview. What a precious moment. Thank you to both of you.
    6
  2868. Already donated via paypal.
    6
  2869. I got to leave a comment, because.. Not so long ago i found myself in a void, i lost my passion for music, i wasnt interested anymore to even hear something, i took a whole week and wrote down every Song i was thinking about or hearing on radio,tv or the internet for a whole week. the result was a shock, 3 Songs, i came to just 3 songs i was recognizing in a whole week. I had all my life listened to music when ever i could, and all of a sudden music left me, or i left the music. And then i found your channel, and music found its way back in my mind. This channel gave me back what i have lost, so dont give a Camelshit on that what people say that dont know you Rick, i know your whole life is and was music, and your understanding of music is for the most far beyond their own possibilities. You do you Rick, and i know thats all you need to do.
    6
  2870. I was supposed to play a song intro on a synth, a kind of a string quartet arrangement, then the band and singer will join in. All rehearsals went just fine. Big show day, the song comes up, lighting director makes everything pitch black, for the dramatic intro, I guess. I sit there in the dark, not having any lamp to read the music score, then I played the intro from memory 😅
    6
  2871. That's it though. No interview.
    6
  2872. The sideburns trap soundwaves, and provide superior acoustics!
    6
  2873. Rick... You never cease to amaze. This a great acknowledgment of a talented guy that the music community lost. Sorry for your loss of a friend and thanks for sharing this with us.
    6
  2874. Im looking for this video for years!! I was born with perfect pitch and played by ear my entire life but a few years ago my ear is flat , just like you explained ! I go to the note for sure but its half above 😱 I gone crazy ! My play was afected too. I talked with my first piano teacher and he told me it was happening with him and some friends , I was more relieved because it seemed to be a normal thing. I tried to discipline myself, and concentrate my energies to understand what was happening to me and get my perfect pitch back. I tried to think always half above (lol) but not worked, because some notes was so clear to me and others dont. Totally crazy ! Thanks for the video ! Im your fan !
    6
  2875. bots
    6
  2876. I have watched it twice now ! Its so fascinating to me . And I am not a musician . Just a person who appreciates music . I have Much Respect for these musical geniuses . and so happy you are bringing this to the world. Thank You
    6
  2877. Great idea Rick! Phil X and Bumblefoot are 2 great guitarists for sure. I think Bumblefoot can do more with a thimble that most can do with a slide.
    6
  2878. The A&R guy cam play the new songs in his Laundromat.
    6
  2879. Almost skipped this 45 minute video, but was hooked within the first 2 minutes Great video and very Inspiring.
    6
  2880. LMAO! I don’t understand this kinda of music at all but watching Rick getting off on Epica is worth the watch. Outfreakingstanding. LOL
    6
  2881. I love your videos Rick. Being accused of playing like Eric Johnson is a compliment in my opinion!
    6
  2882. And we have tremendous respect for you RB. Keep making a difference.
    6
  2883. This is such a great interview. Rick has certainly tapped into what will surely be so important to history when these great musicians are no longer with us. Interviews like this should also be so important to young musicians who can learn so much great wisdom from musicians like Chuck and others that Rick has interviewed!!!
    6
  2884. Rick, I’m hoping you see this. I’ve been watching your videos for about 6 months and am so glad I found your channel. My dad and I have bonded over your content, much like your son and you in this video. That being said, your channel will always be special to me for creating an opportunity for my dad and I to enjoy together. Thanks so much 🙏🏻
    6
  2885. Rick Beato’s content is invaluable! His YT channel should be considered as the gold standard for creating videos. Every single video he makes is thoroughly engaging and informative. Such pure joy! You sir deserve 1B+ subscribers. Thank you for the great service you are doing to humanity. ❤🙏 Greetings and best wishes from 🇳🇱
    6
  2886. Wonderful video. His voice is beautiful and many personal memories are tied to his music playing in the background. This is one of your best interviews, which says something as all of your interviews are always so well done. It is like we are listening in to private conversation, not overly produced or scripted. Hope you keep them coming.
    6
  2887. How could anybody downvote this? I mean c'mon...WTF is wrong with you?
    6
  2888. Rick, I'm 55 years old and watching your channel ("What makes this song great?" and training exercises) got me back into practicing again. Your '5 things every beginner guitarist should know' episode has me relearning previous guitar instruction and, when thinking about songs I think are great, has me actively listening for those elements in practice and for the love of the music. I have grown from you and your generosity and I hope you continue to help us new beginners learn, love, and play. I ask myself, I wonder what voice I have through my guitars? How can I embrace and make my own the great blues guitarists who have come before me? How do I actively listen for new inspirations? And finally, what would make my music great? Thank you! I just bought your book - thank you!
    6
  2889. A fabulous interview. Rick's love for music has taken this channel from appreciation of individual songs, to an understanding of wider themes in music and now is an archivist of some of the greats that have earned our respect over many years. That sounds a bit flowery but it's true and I enjoy my own music more having watched these videos.
    6
  2890. Who does that, gets a haircut in the middle of a rant? Rick Beato, that's who!
    6
  2891. I can see why number 1 is your favorite! Looks like a ton of fun to play.
    6
  2892. Why are tears dropping out of my eyes faster than I can catch them right now?? Bittersweet sadness mixed with beauty I guess. I’m SO sorry you lost her Rick. I’m so happy for you that you had her.🌹 Deepest Condolences to your family, Julie from Texas
    6
  2893. "Rick how do you know what you know?" By studying music more than most people have studied anything in their lives.
    6
  2894. If you assume the best of your audience you will get the best audience.
    6
  2895. Rick, you've got some awesome stories, and some great wisdom... I love watching your videos, especially your "wmtsg" series, but I'm starting to like these stories and rants too, and your personal stories like this are humbling.
    6
  2896. This should be compulsory viewing for every musician. I feel honoured to be able to see this. Mr Beato really is the pinnacle of musicians’ interviewers.
    6
  2897. I can't believe I just discovered your channel. You made me listen to some of my favorite songs all over again in a completely new way and appreciation for them. I wish I had a music teacher like you growing up in lieu of the ones forcing me to play a flute. Well it's never too late. Thank you!
    6
  2898. First
    6
  2899. I noticed an improvement in lighting. Anything changed? Looks amazing. A little warmer on the main light would be nice though.
    6
  2900. I don't think there has ever been an interviewer with your experience, skill, breadth of knowledge and platform. The conversations, emotions and content you're able to pull out of these musical legends is inspiring. I've been a fan of Newman's work without ever knowing it. He's got a way with words as well. You did it again beato!!!
    6
  2901. This was the most amazing video / filming of sting his music from a more technical to artistic depiction of his body of work. I would have paid big money to watch this. When I was learning modes (1981) I was really starting learn modes. Every song I listened to was a interesting adaptation to structure and style like no other. Rick. THANK YOU for this. You made my day.
    6
  2902. Rick has developed a pro journalist sensitivity, even when pulled into the conversation and has an excuse to lecture, he politely gives a brief response and redirects with questions to his guests and asks meaningful followups, only adding more when needed to push things along. Really has a talent for this kinda thing. Maybe that’s teacher and producer talent translating to journalism, but don’t see it often these days.
    6
  2903. You are by far the most sophisticated man on YouTube brother. Beautiful and heartfelt tribute and I'm sure Peter's energy has surrounded you daily. Many blessings to you and may you ride every rainbow.
    6
  2904. Still waiting for you to do a show about JD Beck and Domi. My kids love them. You're always talking about pop music being boring but these guys are pop and can actually make a difference in today's music
    6
  2905. What Pat said in those first 2 minutes is so absolutely true, it couldn’t be put any better, in my humble opinion. Thank You Pat and Thank You Rick, so happy I found your channel!
    6
  2906. "Perfection is the enemy of good... or great." Awesome.
    6
  2907. Rick- I’m with you. I’m a retired music teacher and I used to listen to music with my kids. I’d say, “Oh man, listen to that chord!” They’d laugh & shake their heads. 😊 Bach- perfect music.
    6
  2908. This was the greatest video I ever watched on YouTube 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 Eric Johnson solo gave me goosebumps
    6
  2909. Rick is such a great Interviewer and he listens to the artist's pov. So refreshing.
    6
  2910. Wow I didn’t realize you were at I.C. I was a bassoon major graduating in ‘81 so I didn’t have contact with Steve. Really appreciate your heartfelt kudos to your teacher!
    6
  2911. Oh I’m here for this!!!
    6
  2912. Another great interview Rick. I couldn't stop listening to it. I have been an engineer in my time and the geeky details of recording always amaze me.
    6
  2913. It amazes me how closely Rick expresses my views on music of all genres. It's not that my views are important it's just that I tend to leave the BS to someone else. I can't tell you how much I appreciate you Rick and the views that you express on your channel. Thank you!
    6
  2914. This is absolutely awesome. It’s just like if Pat Metheny had published a new record. Listening to the man speaking is just as amazing as listening to his music. Thank you so much Rick for sharing this 👍🏻👍🏻
    6
  2915. Alan has a great band, The Accounting Crows. Very Clever.
    6
  2916. Put $1500 into a $700 guitar you get a $800 guitar 😂
    6
  2917. I've never played guitar, yet I don't think I've missed a single one of your videos / shorts in year's. I still go back and watch many of them over again. Based on the fact this is a charity, I'm going to plunk down 2K and pick one up. If I don't learn to play, or use it, I'll donate it to my local High School. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
    5
  2918. I will say I liked Bumblefoot’s the most BUT they were all awesome to listen to! Keep it up.
    5
  2919. Love seeing Rick pop up in the corner of my screen and distract me from my work. All the videos are interesting and I'll watch this, even though I don't know anything about drums ( except what Rick has taught me already).
    5
  2920. You are a gem of a human being Rick. I suspect whether it was gardening, carpentry, cooking or accounting, you would bring the same passion, curiosity and insight to the table. But I'm immensely grateful your chosen subject is music. As for the future of the channel? Interviews, interviews and more interviews. Warmest wishes for a full recovery and many more years doing what you do so exceptionally. ❤
    5
  2921. Among many excellent channels, this is THE musicology channel on YouTube. It is a masterclass in music.
    5
  2922. This is one of my favorite interviews you’ve done Rick. Great conversation!
    5
  2923. I've watched this interview twice now and I just absolutely love it. What a legend and just overall such a great conversation! A huge thank you to the both of you!
    5
  2924. Thank you for shining a spotlight on one of the greatest "forgotten" Danish musicians of all time. Greatly appreciated!! All the best, Peter from Denmark
    5
  2925. Thank you so much hands down one of the greatest musician interview ever ! Masterclass indeed no matter what genre of music or the instrument all musicians should watch this sublime interview.
    5
  2926. Nice tribute Rick. And I heard you drop my guitar teacher's name - Peter Chwazik!
    5
  2927. Popular music ain't in my wheelhouse. I wish I had as open a mind about music as Rick.
    5
  2928. Rick... always so impressed with just how you interpret content, and how you present yourself ... humility and integrity are priceless qualities... you have both.
    5
  2929. Yesterday we lost the great Barry Harris as well. Rest In Peace.
    5
  2930. I've watched countless videos of Rick's, he's so restrained that i always wondered if he could shred. damn he can 😂
    5
  2931. What makes this channel great? I'd say the combination of variety and consistency. There are the interviews, the song analysis videos, the cooperations with people. And it's all entertaining and interesting at the same time, that's the consistent element :)
    5
  2932. Damn. Rick. Joni means so much to me. Our souls just fist bumped man.
    5
  2933. These truly are the best interviews anywhere! Thank you Rick…
    5
  2934. Thank -You Rick for letting us hear from one of the greats and memorializing Jimmy Webb for future generations.
    5
  2935. I cant believe I just had Rick Beato explain to me what Flexing is
    5
  2936. Amen. I'm only 24 minutes into the interview and I am struck by how much space Rick Beato gave him. As an Atlantan, we're proud of you, Rick!
    5
  2937. A good interviewer will ask pertinent questions. A great one will shut up and listen to the answers. This was a great interview. Well done Rick.
    5
  2938. This should be required viewing for anyone who wants to call themselves, "A Creative." Mr. Newman and Mr. Beato turn this nearly 90 minute discussion into a masterclass. It's eavesdropping on a fascinating discussion and it holds up to multiple viewings. Plus some of the ideas here this will also be great for video editors, musicians, painters, writers and on and on and on. There are many, many lessons in here. Excellent - for the viewer who is serious about their craft... time well spent.
    5
  2939. Rick, please imagine a standing ovation, you deserve it. Thank you.
    5
  2940. This has got to be the best interview with Robben Ford I’ve ever seen. Also I thought no other guitar player was into Rahsaan Roland Kirk. A true musician and songwriter that is constantly evolving.
    5
  2941. And Joni Mitchell. Episode coming up Rick?!😃
    5
  2942. Chris is ageless.
    5
  2943. Made me laugh more than any other interview you've done. That was fantastic! I love his perspective on interpersonal relationships.
    5
  2944. your Dad is proud of you! He exists in you, just do the same to your kids! I am 65 now and i have seen them all. Thank God, Germany has always been a great Country to all the Jazz musicians. ART is appreciated here!
    5
  2945. I love these videos with the Beato family. What a talented bunch of people. I still remember Aunt Penny and the influence she had on Rick.
    5
  2946. Rick this breakdown was a MASTERPIECE within the masterpiece which is "Bohemian Rhapsody" The accompaniment with Brian May just added to this so brilliantly. I'm so glad he decided to join you on this. At the end I can see you taking a bow as well Rick. Thank You so much for your talents in music theory as well. BRAVO SIR!
    5
  2947. Rick, your "gratuitous" solo is absolutely stunningly beautiful, never mind it's flawless execution. I'm reminded of David Gilmour's ability to infuse pure emotion into his solos, which you have done here to a memorably high degree. I knew you were talented, but this has solidified all kinds of newfound respect by me for your skill set. You are easily one of my favorite people on YouTube and I thank you for your many years of sharing these intimate moments with us all. Every musician knows the music industry is a labyrinthine snake pit, but you keep me inspired to continue my own journey. RIP, Johnny.
    5
  2948. He played things that noone even ever heard. He surprised me many times in this video. New stuff never played before. Great great. Words are pointless just enjoying.
    5
  2949. Some of those songs would sound better with the electric guitar, but most a full orchestra couldn’t help.
    5
  2950. Every music school should teach the bass of James Jamerson!
    5
  2951. Rick i find the SEVERE lack of King Crimson in your videos hurtful
    5
  2952. Excellent interview, Rick. Thomas Newman has been one of my favorite composers for a long, long time. Thank you for asking the questions that give us real insight as to the details and flexibility required to be a great soundtrack composer.
    5
  2953. Thank you Rick for your lovely tribute. Something struck me during your video. There is something about being a musician that involves telling the truth. I want to thank you for reminding me of that, as a musician who has experienced difficult times. Thank you to both you and Peter, and thank you for honoring your bond with him in making this video. There is a lot of "fog" in the world these days. Watching this video, I feel reconnected with "truth," as a musician, and person. That's the best I can do to explain how I feel. There's something special about being a musician and an appreciator of arts. Thank you Rick and rest in peace Peter.
    5
  2954. Rick, I just want to say thank you. So much more than just an amazing interview.
    5
  2955. Spinal Tap know all of them.
    5
  2956. Thank goodness that guy never mentioned Sting. Then you would have heard a rant....
    5
  2957. This kind of video is an art form in itsown respect. Music historians will appreciate this for years to come.
    5
  2958. I don't think that Rick is saying that Jarret's music is the most beautiful 2 minutes of music 'ever', his contention is that within the context of the composition it's the most beautiful 2 minutes of music. I've heard a great deal of 'the most beautiful music,' in my lifetime. I suspect that as long as there are composers expressing their deepest emotions through music the world will never experience a drought of 'the most beautiful music'. I would like to believe that most of us have within us the beginnings of the most beautiful music too. I'm not a professional musician by a long shot, but sometimes when I 'feel the flow' it produces some moments of exquisitely inspired music. I'm sure others have felt it too.
    5
  2959. I found your channel by accident. I am not a musician but I have an ear and an appreciation for great contemporary and classical music. I am all in!! Thank you Rick!
    5
  2960. New fan of your videos -- became aware through Ward Carroll's channel. You two gents share a class, credible & fantastic storytelling gift, buddy.. what a huge breath of fresh air for someone bouncing around the periphery of anything music! I never had 'the beat,' hear NONE of the subtleties that musicians do, and I was the guy on the dance floor who was going left when everybody else was beautifully, naturally choreographed to the right... Thank you for unabashedly sharing your sincere memories, emotions, and a great anecdote about regular people! I had to pause it to just sit back and laugh about your being paid to pack your gear and step away... especially imaging him in the Superman outfit, engaged in the tense, stageside chat. My sense of humor has kept me on the rails for 64 years, and I deeply value it when I see it in anyone else. I'm off for my next round of chemo in a few minutes, and sincerely tell you that I will be chuckling throughout the day recalling this episode of your life shared! No drama, no all-about-me, just this day's pick for appreciating life in the USA! This is what we do, mostly. (Now, I have to ask my wife what the hell "Spotify" is and how can I find this absolutely wonderful song to listen to, in one or two easy steps...) Press on.
    5
  2961. lol, the first line of 'white Christmas' is more complex then most whole songs.
    5
  2962. The reason why Rick is such a good interviewer is that not only does he have an extensive knowledge of music theory ,but he also has an extensive knowledge of music production...how to get on in the music business and sell yourself....and it's for these reasons that the music stars he interviews realise this and open up to him......in short the guy knows what he's talking about!!!!!!!
    5
  2963. Love you dude, I'm practicing drums now because of you 🤘🏻
    5
  2964. I love how human all these stories are. So good Rick. Keep at it my friend!
    5
  2965. Rick: Many have commented before on similar 'unknowns' that you have played clips stored on HD. Isn't there any way some of these artists could be played/promoted by you?
    5
  2966. The humility with which you say you hope people get something from this story is as inspiring as the story itself. Commitment and integrity are rare commodities in our world of disposable fame, but you are the real deal.
    5
  2967. I know it was hard to make this video Rick Beato. You did it well.
    5
  2968. Rick I’m pleasantly surprised you are a big Swervedriver fan. Highly underrated band...period. Thank you
    5
  2969. This was wonderful. Thank you for sharing this Rick. How could they have topped that? 😃 That had to have been the, “You’ve been a great audience! Goodnight!” moment!
    5
  2970. This is the first time I’ve commented. Liked the question posed I guess.
    5
  2971. Rick Beato is a BAD ASS!!! Thanks for all the great videos Rick! 🔥 ✌🏼
    5
  2972. After watching this and listening to your guitar solo i had to buy the record! Thank you for sharing your stories your music and all your knowledge
    5
  2973. Sounds like many of us had the same experience – over an hours worth of an interview with a guy I’ve never heard of, talking about live sound, something I’m not interested in? Couldn’t put the phone down the whole time lol. This was one of the best
    5
  2974. Great concept and authentic playing by all three ....... “ Hats off “ , but it only makes me appreciate how great the original solo really is.....
    5
  2975. YouTubers don't cover great music anymore. Rick Beato, "Hold my beer".
    5
  2976. The title captured one the most profound things Joe said about playing music. When he mentioned we are just passing through, talking about musical tastes of the current generation, that applies to life in general...I've heard it before, but that's even more profound and worth being reminded of and taking to heart. That was a great interview.
    5
  2977. Rick, you are a teacher, cheerleader, scholar, preacher, spiritual, all these and more. This tribute to Jimmy Cobb is so warm and heartfelt. Keep up with your mission. Seems every one of your videos is your best.
    5
  2978. I've met and worked with Jeff Slate. I can confirm that this man doesn't know what he's talking about.
    5
  2979. Rick, if I may address you by your first name, I found your channel a few months ago, and I immediately liked and appreciated your musical talent, the many different instruments you play and play VERY well. I love to watch the videos where you "take apart" songs/music and analyze and discuss. Just know, as I'm sure you know already, you are appreciated by people like me - kind of reliving the past and enjoying your channel. Thanks so much for this video as I live in the Charleston area and had no idea of the musical talent existing here. Please keep up the videos, keep up the guest appearances of so many people and introducing so many songs with so many people. You are a success and I love your music and videos. May God bless your life and friends and family for the joy and fun you bring to this complicated world.
    5
  2980. I have no formal musical ed. but find your interviews incredibly informative and educational. Thank you and your guests for the generosity you bring.
    5
  2981. RIck - I am a long time fan and this is one of the best interviews you have done. Even as a guitar player, I think this is my favorite episode. Jimmy is a pure mega musician, gear geek, spiritual and soulful, and one of the best rock drummers ever. Corgan and Chamberlin are the reason the Pumpkins are still playing Stadiums and a vital part of rock history. Full Jelly Belly ! Just outstanding all around. Thank you Rick and Jimmy!
    5
  2982. You're living a dream, Rick. Your own talents and accolades notwithstanding, I can't even imagine what it must be like for Rick the fan. To have such rare opportunity to talk about the things you love with the people that created the things you love, and all the money in the world could never buy.

  2983. To this random boomer journalist: “Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods." - Edmund Burke.
    5
  2984. Wow just wow, this is a historic video and will help future generations. Legendary!!!!
    5
  2985. This story brought tears to my eyes. It has so much in it with real life experiences. How with maturity we all look back on our lives and see how the path was laid out for us. Thanks very much for sharing this video with us Rick! God be with you and your dear family.
    5
  2986. It's so funny - as a little kid, when this was on all the time, I never noticed how insane the modulations were -- way more Wagner than Wagner. That's partly because the voice leading is so smooth and ingenious, of course. But now I'm cracking up imagining you guys at that rehearsal on gig day... 😆
    5
  2987. We need to be careful about anointing artists who are famous in part because of their cultural relevance in a given time. The typical kid today has no idea who Dylan is, and 200 years from now he may fall completely out of recollection. Western Civilization may not even be relevant in the year 2200. Bridge Over Troubled Water, on the hand, will continue to be beautiful until the universe suffers heat death.
    5
  2988. I usually take anything that says “The Greatest” with a grain of salt since the best can be highly subjective depending personal tastes or just what strikes a chord with someone. This is just undeniably amazing musicianship though no matter your favorite styles or genres it’s truly amazing to watch. This is the kind of playing that inspires me to want to make music and at least try to bring something creative to it.
    5
  2989. Bought my ticket, and looking forward to it! Been watching the channel for a couple years, and just happen to be up in the city singing on the Met roster this season thru March. No show for me on the 16th, so l pulled the trigger. Would love to pick your brain briefly after show on my opera-rock fusion project, The Tapestry, how best to introduce it to the world, etc. If by chance you'd like to visit the Met and catch an opera while in town, l'd be happy to grab you a ticket. Cheers, Rick. ~ Corey Crider

  2990. Rick! what a life! your friends are my guitar heros! God bless you!
    5
  2991. A engrossing, passionate, fascinating, convivial conversation. A lovely reminder to continue to focus & always be marvelled by music. Thankyou Rick.
    5
  2992. the thing about Rick's interviews is that Rick is not a journalist but a musician, an educated and well-knowlaged musician and the fact of the matter is that Rick is just as much interested in what guys like Luke say that he does not interrupt or ask stupid quiestions like.. "what is the secret to succsess", additionaly you can never see Rick bragging or showing-off his knowladge of music but rather he is always humble and good host... and thats why all of his interviews are flawless and interesting. A lot of "professional journalists" and talk-show hosts, could actually learn a thing or two from Rick... like how to put your guests in the center of the focus for a change and not yourself as a host...
    5
  2993.  @RickBeato  Thank you so much. Love your videos! Thank you for bringing true music stewardship to Youtube!
    5
  2994. Donated!
    5
  2995. Rick is an excellent storyteller. Everytime I see one of his video's I feel enriched, and not only as a musician.
    5
  2996. In a sense, your videos are like diary entries. You do them when it seems "right", and you follow your heart and interests. We don't know (most of us) if or what stresses are involved (sorry about that!), but we like following your journey (as you play with time). Hope you don't quit! Thank you!
    5
  2997. It's kinda like everytime someone plays an odd and mysterious sounding bend and everyone goes ''yep, Marty Friedman''.
    5
  2998. Speaking of perfect pitch, I enjoyed the Rick Beato article this morning on CNN! I agree with all the good points the interviewer made about why this channel is so relevant and important. 😊
    5
  2999. It is brilliant. The whole album is. Been listening to it since... 1974!
    5
  3000. I can't believe I have just found this channel in the last couple weeks, your show is so good a so knowledgeable about the music. Love it. New fan!
    5
  3001. Rick ... you are a gift from God. You are one of the most humble, articulate, and talented interviewers I’ve ever seen and I am blessed by your videos capturing music history for all who will love music in the centuries to come. Thank you!
    5
  3002. "Just hanging out." You and your friend played multiple instruments through a bunch of standards, transcribed incredibly complex solos and were able to "air play" along to records no doubt accurately analyzing them as you listened. You seriously underestimate yourself and your friend. We should all be so talented and hard working as to do all this while just hanging out as college buddies. Amazing stuff. And I love the story about the paintings and your friend's dad.
    5
  3003. Excellent! Love the DOJO Guitar repair shirt! I want one Dave! Keith
    5
  3004. Rick Beato, a most amazing talent, an aficionado, and professor of all music genres, period. 👀😎👌
    5
  3005. Reaching back to learning theory, your unpressurized upload schedule is a great example of “variable/intermittent reinforcement.” It’s precisely your unpredictability that keeps us coming back for more. Every show is a welcome M&M! 😅
    5
  3006. Hi Rick I don't think I've ever messaged you but I really appreciate your work I'm a big fan of everything you do, I just got the Pat Metheny interview with just was incredible and I'm a huge fan of your work thank you so much for what you do you're Asia the best drum solo with Steve gad freaking far out man oh baby that stuff
    5
  3007. Hello mate. Now you know someone else.
    5
  3008. « This is how you listen to jazz. It’s a conversation » So true! Every music school should have a Rick Beato. Or is it the other way around? Anyways, thank you, Rick!
    5
  3009. And then I get to that part of the video. I'm so so sorry for your loss Rick. Johnny Diamond, a name I never knew but I surely do now. He sounds like a person I'd have enjoyed to hang with too. Thank you for bringing up this subject and also for such a candid story of what went on. “Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be kind. Always.” – Robin Williams Nine years man, and you still think of him, that says a lot. RIP your friend Johnny.
    5
  3010. This may be the most fun, most life affirming musical history lesson interview you have done. I always knew Chris Cross was deeply connected but I never knew the story.... I swear I was grinning inside the whole time.
    5
  3011. Mimic just the snare on 2 in James Brown’s “Funky Drummer (Bonus Beats)”. Bonus if you get the other two “tin can snare” ghost notes right after. Keep in mind that this is an edit of two bars, going back in time. It’s also got a little reverb on it. It is a key sample in thousands of songs. Great video, Rick. You pretty much cloned that guitar. Cheers
    5
  3012. Just finished this and also have to say it’s obvious what a MASTER CLASS this talk is from Benson. Just incredible… BUT interviewers today take note. Watch how Beato NEVER gets in the way, never interrupts, lays back and gives Benson the floor. Most interviews today are non stop interruptions or turning the stories around to be about the interviewer. Cheers, Rick. This is one for the books.
    5
  3013. that was the tribute we wish we could give all our loved ones when they pass....
    5
  3014. PS I love the fact that I can be in a music store and strike up a conversation with kids a third my age and find out we both have loving your channel in common. Then again, as Springsteen said in the Tower Records doc, "When you're in a record store, everyone's your friend for twenty minutes." If only the rest of human interactions reflected that.
    5
  3015. Rick, this is why your viewers... followers... fans ... (like me) love your work. I guess it's like laying textured music patterns over one another, the whole being so much more than the sum of the parts. You share your life and your musical persona with us, which gives every video you make, every talk you give, a depth and resonance that none of the million other "here's how I do it" , "here's how you do it" YouTubers can ever hope to reach. It's New Year's eve here in Melbourne, am working at an IT job that will take me through midnight, and age-appropriately for a 71 year old, feeling a bit jaded, empty and wistful about Ghosts of New Years Past... This was just the mugful of pick-me-up warmth that I needed. Thank you for wearing your kindly heart on your sleeve, and have a good 2023 when it arrives in your land. ☮
    5
  3016. Nice to see The Three Musketeers together again, just missing Keith Williams. Dave always has the best T-shirts, “Ampex 456 Gand Master”, amazing, where do I get one?
    5
  3017. Oh man - Rick, this is just amazing. I've watched probably hundreds of Pat interviews, some with fantastic interviewers, but this is easily the best. Pat nailed it, you have a unique place as far as who you are, your following and the quality of your questions and approach. I feel incredibly fortunate to be able to listen to this in full at my age and level of playing. Thank you dearly.
    5
  3018. Hey Rick. That most of the legends you interview now are saying, well, I watch you all the time. That must mean a lot to you. When you bring out a new video. You are watch by legends. That’s SO COOL. That you are not only adored by us but also by the artists you are talking about. You have come a long way. Bravo. 👍🏻🙏🏻👏🏻
    5
  3019. One of the best video in You tube's entire history. Two honest music lovers and a legend without narcissism. Including a guitar tutorial by Pat Metheny himself. There are no words only thank you both. I dream for a vol.2. Thank you Mr. Beato.
    5
  3020. You and Mick and Dan are REAL!!! I can only echo the best of comments below. I play... everybody I know plays... mostly. You are all treasures! And the way you shared, my goodness, we are all there in the room with you. Awesome Rick!!! Faves those two... really good people.
    5
  3021. I'm really speechless. Being Steely Dan my favourite band of all time, here Rick, you give me anther tonne of reasons to know for sure that I'm completely right. I love Tim, don't et me wrong but Dean Parks and Jay Graydon are, simply put 2 of the very best session musicians in history. their knowledge but over all their humble approach is the stuff that make a music lover like me to feel that this is it. Another viewer here says that we are getting more and more close to the Donald Fagen interiew.... I know I know but this is your fault because I'm convinced after these years that there is nothing impossible within The Beato World of Dreams. Much love and admiration as always from West Spain.❤
    5
  3022. So very sorry to hear of your loss, Rick. Thank you for sharing this part of his story. Thank you also for being my "cool friend who's crazy talented, but doesn't act like a jerk about it" whom I've never met. I struggle with depression as well, and your videos often times make me feel like I'm hanging out with a buddy and talking about music. I"m sure I'm not the only person who feels this way. I just wanted you to know that your videos matter beyond the actual content presented.
    5
  3023. Rick - I'll be 50 in January 2021. I've been dealing with depression for most of my adult life. I know all too well what it's like. I went to counseling regularly for about eight years and was on numerous combinations of meds for eleven years. The counseling was of modest help, but the meds all failed after being on them for a little while. So, I quit cold turkey back in March 2017. Yeah, I know. Not the best way to do it, but what's done is done. They were causing more health issues than they were resolving. I will not deny suicide crossing my mind on occasion over the years, but I don't think I'll ever do it. I'm not one to take the "easy way out" of anything. Besides, I want to live to see this world become a better place. I know we can make it happen, but it seems that we've chosen the long, winding road rather than the straight path. Darn shame. However, I'm nothing if not an activist. I just wish I had the money to help reputable organizations affect positive change. I give what I can, but it's barely pocket change. It's all I can afford though. You have a great channel, Rick. Keep up the good work.
    5
  3024. Get this: I don't play guitar. However, after watching and LISTENING to Rick's videos, I have gained an understanding of what is happening on that there fretboard. You have enhanced my perception and pleasure of the guitar. Sent all the way from Morecambe, England
    5
  3025. Mick Fleetwood - Hypnotized off of Mystery to Me.
    5
  3026. I say this only because I feel more and more that what you are doing for music Rick, is what Anthony Bourdain did for food. This is a spectacular interview. and why CNN hasn't considered you for an interview show is beyond me. I want to see more, and hopefully, that can happen. Thank you Rick.
    5
  3027. Greatest Rick that ever lived, thank you for this inspirational video .
    5
  3028. Hey Rick... that crash that Nick Mason hits on the downbeat at the intro to the 2nd chorus has always sounded gated to me... like it was patched into the final mix. Do you hear that, too? Also, I love how you called out the fact that there's like only a single syncopated double accent on the upbeats in the song. It absolutely feels like they should be there - but that's the genius of the rhythm track, dude: understated, not jarring, dreamy... comfortable. Just beautiful arrangement. What a testament to human imagination and performance. Could you imagine autotuning the vocal?? Man, I'm really enjoying this video.
    5
  3029. I am SO glad my friend Bob told me about this channel and Rick’s series. Rick’s energy around his vids is just fantastic. —Merry Xmas Rick 🌲⛄️
    5
  3030. Amazing interview as always! Such compelling interviews, whether it's Nuno, or Julian or...... I look forward to Ricks interviews and the musical intelligence in which only Rick brings. Thank you Rick!
    5
  3031. Sounded great. As soon as you started strumming, yep, that's the guitar.
    5
  3032. You should have had your son naming the chords as you played them
    5
  3033. I’ve just learned the Bach and Beato spread triads at the end of the vid. That will put a grin on my face for the rest of the day and get me psyched up to dive into the Beato bundle this weekend. If anything, Rick has reminded me of how much I love music.
    5
  3034. BTW, the Beato Book upgrade is amazing. Thank You for this amazing piece of work.
    5
  3035. This music is so important, and it is wonderful that you are bringing it to your very diverse audience. I am so excited about the idea of more people, and especially a new generation, being turned on to Jarrett!
    5
  3036. Not only was Oscar an amazing musician, but he was so likable too. Just a great man.
    5
  3037. I found the interview at 12:30 in the morning. I thought I might save it and watch it later. I didn't. 1:16:26 later I had to agree with you this was one of the best interviews.
    5
  3038. These three musicians were the very best in their craft. Separately, they were explosive. Together, more powerful than an atomic bomb. You were exhausted just watching/listening to them.
    5
  3039. After viewing his 20 songwriters video I listened to Amelia three times and came back here. Then I downloaded the entire album. Thanks, Rick!
    5
  3040. Oración by Alan Mearns I. Cantos, II. Perpetuo You MUST listen to it
    5
  3041. Damn, Rick. I cried near the end of this video. Kudos to both you and Bernard for keeping it totally real, and giving all of use some insight into those sessions, and the ins and outs of the process behind so many iconic hits.
    5
  3042. Knowing Sting for a number of years this is THE number one interview where I see him really interested, engaged and quite relaxed. He can be rough on the edges too. But my point is the interviewer knows what he’s doing and what he’s asking and very comfortable with himself. It was a beauty, Sting opened up like a book wisely and then when he dropped a bomb saying “play ME a song of the new record” and Sting undoubtedly did as command I’m like this interviewer took such command of his craft for more than a solid hour and asked for this jewel! I’m hooked, I’m subscribing Tor his channel, I want to know more!
    5
  3043. I remember my brother in law sending me one of your videos a while ago and I didn’t pay attention to it. Now I regret having done so. Great content man!!
    5
  3044. My wife is addicted to BTS.....I'm getting her help.
    5
  3045. This is gold for musicians. So much insight in this interview. I'll be coming back to it many times for sure.
    5
  3046. Rick explaining what “flex” means is hilarious
    5
  3047. Glad to see he paid homage to some of the original / old stuff. There is a lot of new music I think is kicks ass, but those players of today see far because they stood on the shoulders of giants.
    5
  3048. Wow, Rick!! I quickly and gladly dropped everything I was doing so that I could watch this most captivating interview. A huge thank you to both you and Mr. Omartian 🎹❤
    5
  3049. Saw Pat back in June of 1981 at Nazareth College in Rochester NY. Great show. I have a handful of his albums but really love the "As Falls Wichita..." album with Lyle Mays. Very cool Rick!
    5
  3050. This conversation is so genial and humble, down to earth. It feels like I'm sitting at the table with them. Rick has hands down the best musicians channel on YouTube!
    5
  3051. Rick, I had the same surgery 4 years ago (Dr.Coselli at Baylor Medical Center in Houston). I was considering Cleveland and Dr. Gillinov. My valve went bad fast and I was in pretty bad shape before the surgery, so my recovery was a little slower than yours. But I made a 100% recovery, and am so thankful for modern medical technology. Glad to hear you are doing so well. Love your videos, keep up the great work.
    5
  3052. I was in the U.S. Navy in the early 70's and was stationed on land in an aviation squadron and was living in what could be described as dorm type rooms. A lot of us guys had component stereo systems and I had this album of America. I loved ( still do ) their music; it sounded so full of musicality and harmonies and now I have a better understanding of 'why'. Thanks, Rick..!!
    5
  3053. Fun fact-Rick is the only person in history to be born with sideburns. Thankfully they are the best ones too
    5
  3054. Absolutely, I watched, listened and made notes.
    5
  3055. I don’t know that I ever would have experienced this music if it weren’t for you, Rick. Absolutely amazing. Thank you!
    5
  3056. Serving up the most succinct and slap down-iest rebuttal to that ignoramus I’ve seen or heard yet. Thank you, Rick, for protecting our musical heroes.
    5
  3057. Every time you tell a story, I think... I wish Rick Beato was my dad. You must be so full of great stories man. I'm so glad you've decided to share your experience and your wisdom with the rest of us. Thank you so much, Rick.
    5
  3058. That was awesome. This channel Rick is pure quality. You help people appreciate what goes into the music without making it dry. In fact, just the opposite. It makes it even more alive.
    5
  3059. I'm so happy to see how your love for music has no boundaries!! Take care and stay safe my friend !!
    5
  3060. I 've played prelude on cello many times, and that arrangement is soooo amazing. The whole thing gave me chills. I can say this with certainty, if Bach were still alive, he would definitely approve. Also, just followed him on Spotify and shared him to my facebook friends.
    5
  3061. This is maybe the best Music interview I have ever witnessed! I'm 66, I've seen a ton, and this was so special to me. Thank you both for letting us hang out and learn some amazing important lessons story telling is such an organic way! God bless you both!
    5
  3062. Absolutely beyond fascinating! I like the format where the interviewee can demonstrate on an instrument.
    5
  3063. Rick I hope you write a book someday. A recollection of all these interviews including off-camera moments you'd like to share with us plus your personal notes about each one of them. I'll buy that book! Enjoyed this interview very much.
    5
  3064. Amazing episode....one of the best I watched on your channel to be honest! Especially that I play the oud (grand son of the luth)...I played with Sting...and Julian Bream is one of my biggest influences...wow all on one video!
    5
  3065. 6:44-6:45 ooooohhhhh!!! That's why we love you Rick!!! That's how we all feel when we play that "just perfect" kind of lick.
    5
  3066. Rick Beato well, you did do a great video scorching the blockers.
    5
  3067. What the heck????
    5
  3068. This one is on Spotify
    5
  3069. This interview has to set the record for the most crazy stories of any of the videos you've ever done. It's like he's played with or knows everybody who has been in the industry over the last 50 years. I loved Rick's reaction when Christopher would drop those little tidbits of music history.
    5
  3070. Hey Rick, as a 35 year veteran Director of Photography, and amateur musician, I can relate totally to your Analog to Digital stories, the same thing happened to us when we went to digital NLE editing, and Digital Acquisition on set , rather then Film Acquisition, rock on Rick!!
    5
  3071. Totally agree. His enthusiasm, dedication and love of music, along with his vast knowledge makes him an original. When you love music so much, it becomes part of who you are. The joy is evident the moment you speak about it. I've been a music publicist for 40+ years, and I play it every day. Can't live without it. I think Rick is like that.
    5
  3072. Perfect example of the difference between losing and failing. You can lose, but if you learn something, you have not failed.
    5
  3073. This is the most informative guitar video I’ve ever seen
    5
  3074. Your celebrity interviews are by far the deepest excursions into the minds of these artists. They open up as if in the presence of an equal; with someone who clearly understands their craft at a deep, detailed level. Thank you for these. This one in particular because I absolutely love Ketih Jarrett. Start to finish. But all of them. Please keep doing them!
    5
  3075. Drunk lover, what a cracking opening track, what an EP. The chord changes in For Mia, so tasty. How did these record executives miss this guy? Idiots man. Great drumming Rick, always great to see.
    5
  3076. Rick Beato - the greatest musician interviewer of all time.
    5
  3077. I was laughing at your story about hiding the chord changes from the bass player. Hilarious. Only musicians screw each other over in such a funny way!
    5
  3078. Rick - easily your greatest video for so many different reasons. Amazing story told with a lot of experience, sadness, and reflection. Solo was straight fire. Some great music that never got much exposure. But most of all, honoring your friend well. I knew neither of you but is touching nonetheless. Well done sir.
    5
  3079. Rick, Dude... Ya got me watchin ALL your vids within an hour of each being released!!! =;-p
    4
  3080. Adam - "What the hell was that video about?" I'm not sure either, but the knowledge, interaction, and respect you have for each other make this so comfortable to watch. I'm glad you two do what you do. It's entertaining. I feel enlightened, but unsure of what I do with this information.
    4
  3081. I saw Rick in London last night, really enjoyed it. Thank you Rick for coming to London.
    4
  3082. Rick, I was a high school student in 1963 in the burbs of West island Montreal, and took the train to see Gordon Lightfoot in downtown Montreal at the New Penelope Cafe on Stanley, a street of many houses of disrepute. Gordon had just recorded his first album, and it was entirely a solo acoustic set. What a revelation. Thanks so much for bringing back those memories.
    4
  3083. Sometimes a person needs to be inspired to pickup the guitar again thankyou Rick for being that inspiration
    4
  3084. Pat's expression when Rick mentions a very specific aspect ("natural 9th on a half diminished") of one of his tunes is worth the entire video. Thank you Rick for the best interview to a musician that I have ever seen.
    4
  3085. Be confident that Aunt Penny is now resting in peace, surrounded by love and beautiful music. I'm so sorry for your loss.

  3086. The great skill of an interviewer is to let the interviewee feel comfortable and happy to engage and speak. Also provide interaction and linkage with knowledge. Rick has demonstrated these skills in spades and a joy to watch and learn.
    4
  3087. That's why I've never understood the over production. It's like producers are making songs for other producers w/ trained ears. Who might call them out? Most ppl don't have a musical ear to notice minor imperfections. A B+ vocal performance is gonna sound like an A+ to most regular ppl. Same with instrument imperfections etc. Ppl love David Lee Roth and he coulda used tons of autotune lol. But that's rock n roll.
    4
  3088. Can confirm Billy and I are indeed nerds :')
    4
  3089. Rick......This was one of your very BEST interviews EVER ! The information that came out of this video is just insane!!
    4
  3090. A/V production for this interview is top notch. Very entertaining conversation. Semper Fi
    4
  3091. I have watched a lot of Tosin interviews, and this one is by FAR the best. I have only ever watched your "What makes this song great" series until now, but you are a phenomenal interviewer. I can't tell you how much it's appreciated that you truly love music, and your passion and curiosity really comes through. You ask the most perfect questions! Everything I wish I could ask Tosin, you asked! And more importantly, you let him talk. You are truly a gem to bringing great music to the people, Rick. Thank you for all the important work you do for musicians and music lovers everywhere.
    4
  3092. What I love about you, Rick, is that you make us feel like you are one of us and just lucky - but we really know different - you a special and it comes through in this interview - even Jimmy mentions how good the interview is.
    4
  3093. Rick, together with your interview with Ron Carter this one might be thé standard in music interviews. You’ve set the bar miles high with these two. Got me glued to the screen you did! What an insights! What a characters! And it made me look up the Joni - Pat - Jaco concert Shadows and Light (1980) once again and AGAIN they blew me away!
    4
  3094. Thanks Rick! After having perfect pitch all my life, I’ve gone down a semitone too! Soooo frustrating. My daughter was learning piano on an old family piano that was a semitone down. I knew what she was supposed to be playing and i think my ear (brain) has re-learnt the pitch. Could also be approaching the magic 50 mark too. Just need a follow up video on regaining perfect pitch!
    4
  3095. Rick, I'd add your whole body of work to the National Recording Registry.
    4
  3096. Well this is a masterclass for free!
    4
  3097. One of the best things I’ve ever watched on YouTube.
    4
  3098. Um...extraordinary that you can just figure that out. Glimpse of the difference between a professional, trained, talented artist who has devoted his life to an instrument and...everyone else :)
    4
  3099. Rick, you have become the best interviewer in the business. No question. This is a masterclass.
    4
  3100. Good news & I can't imagine I was the only one missing the instructional recording videos. Being a musician and songwriter I've been challenging myself over the last few years to learn recording techniques better and ricks those videos of yours helped immensely. Looking forward to seeing more.
    4
  3101. Certainly one of the best interviews of all time.
    4
  3102. When I first saw Rick Beato's interview with Brian May, I was like "you deserve it" and the reason why he's had a lot of reach is not only because of his personality and knowledge of the person being interviewed, but how thoughtful his questions are and how comfortable the interviewees seem around Rick. Wish you the best!!!!
    4
  3103. This is one of the best youtube channels, I wish the music industry tycoons would appreciate your work for the treasure it is. Thank you Rick, your videos have vastly improved my appreciation for different genres.
    4
  3104. VICTORY!
    4
  3105. I just want these two guys to sit in my living room and shed wisdom. Loved every minute of this.
    4
  3106. My third time through this since August. So much to learn from this conversation. I thank Rick and Pat for making this possible.
    4
  3107. The book and the videos go hand in hand very well....the book can be hard to make out without the videos.
    4
  3108. What a great story - the way you connect music to your humanity is always moving for me as a listener. Thank you so much for sharing!
    4
  3109. Adam still an all-time fave guitarist, songwriter, everything to this day. bolts of melody and toshack highway stuff is great too. but those first 3 Swervies albums = amazing. Raise. Mezcal Head. Ejector Seat Reservation. each one a modern classic, for me. he's also pretty decent at scrabble and a mad Liverpool fan. what a guy!
    4
  3110. Thank you Rick. I've had some really crap days at work this week, but when I get to appreciate music with you and your audience I feel better about stuff. It inspires me to pick up my guitar or play my piano and just explore the strings/keys.
    4
  3111. Awesome sound guys can't wait to see you on Thursday the 28th. Sounds a bit like U2, Alice in Chains, and some other grunge rock groups. Yeah!
    4
  3112. When Rick Beato first set up shop and established his place in YT, in music, in pop culture, did you see coming this level of erudition that could dialogue, spontaneously, with some of the most accomplished artists of the last 40 years? In curiosity? Toe to toe, contributing and shaping sone of the greatest sharing in recent memory?
    4
  3113. These free lessons have literally changed my life. Each video is like a eureka moment. Thank you Rick
    4
  3114. Rick I just love the way you are open to so many forms of music. Your analysis i always so well thought out. I'm a fan of french music and would love to hear you discuss som older music like Jaccues Brel (maybe Madeleine) or Francoise Hardy (Message Personnel?) or something newer like Angele (Balance Ton Qoui?). Just a thought. You really are an advocate for good music.
    4
  3115. Thanks rick for the many hours of free musical training. Im sure that even highly trained musicians have learned a few new things. It's your love of music that pushes your UTube channel forward. It's all thats good on utube, and represents to me a very high standard of dedication on your part! Much luck in the future!
    4
  3116. Nice! BUT...way nicer is the new Interactive Beato book! YOU are the new Prince of music education my friend!!
    4
  3117. This is probably my 5th or 6th time. I get something different out of it each time. I get the impression that Sting thought it was his best experience in an interview.
    4
  3118. I like the lighting of the room you are in. It's really nice to the eyes! and with all the musical elements in the background. Good filming!
    4
  3119. Rick, I find your interviews with the myriad guitar players you feature inspirational, entertaining and informative. I always come away with tidbits of knowledge and insight that I would never find anywhere else. I am two years into my guitar playing adventure at 68 years young and appreciate what you are providing with your interviews and your personal knowledge. Keep up the great work.
    4
  3120. What an insightful dialogue. True orchestration is a musical adventure, a lyrical story. And to hear it done well creates emotion like no other. Another phenomenal interview by a master interviewer. Well done Rick.
    4
  3121. Control booth looking good now!
    4
  3122. The Depth of your videos is impressive as hell guys. I've been helping artists and songwriters for the past 30+ years and worked with a plethora of educators but what you're putting together on your channel takes a backseat to none. Great work!
    4
  3123. This interview really is an achievement. I've watched this with tears in my eyes. Thank you, Rick. And thank you, Keith.
    4
  3124. Rick Beato Anytime, Rick! You know I love ya!
    4
  3125. Beato Ear Training: Highly Recommended. PS: It's not as easy as you think ;-) ...which means you WILL learn from it.
    4
  3126. You’re right. Mike was one of the greatest and one of the nicest people. A few months before he died, he wrote me and said, “Hey Jeremy, how are you doing? You must be making amazing music as usual”. Man, he had that way of always being kind and lifting people. I miss him very much.
    4
  3127. Is that table a bench top sitting on guitar cabs? Cool interview
    4
  3128. Top 3 agreed, especially numero uno, music notation / the printing press
    4
  3129. Rick, it takes incredible courage to share something so personal. I am glad you brought some awareness to Johnny. He sounded like a great guy.. I don't even know what to say right now...just...thank you.
    4
  3130. I'm glad Rick is such an objective pro and can find things to appreciate...I hear some country or pop and my brain just disregards it. Maybe I should try to think like Rick!
    4
  3131. so wait a minute...I initially skipped around the video a bit...the guy playing classical guitar is the same guy singing the folk/rock music?? Good gawd...what a beast
    4
  3132. You have NO IDEA how much I love this channel, and appreciate what you do here. No idea. Thank you so much for blazing your own trail, and for the authenticity of your work here. There's nobody like you on the Internet. 4 million will be 8 million subscribers before you know it. Press on, Rick.
    4
  3133. man, Rick, what a dream of an interview! there's quite a lot of interesting talks with Pat out there, but this one to me stands out: eloquent, deep & relaxed at the same time - just had to listen to his and your every word right through! i wonder how this could not be the apex. love your work, andy
    4
  3134. What a nice guy! Thank you Adam and Rick for sharing!!
    4
  3135. My God Hypes! All the playing in this is just beautiful. "Haunting" is the word for it! Love these mode videos. I go back and watch them for inspiration.
    4
  3136. this why u are such a well respected person and musician. i didnt expect to wake up today to immediately be in tears. im sorry for your loss and that the world will never get to know the potential Mr. Diamond could have risen too. thank you for sharing this heartfelt story with all of us.
    4
  3137. One more thing, these records still sound great YEARS later. That is truly amazing. So many records from this era do not hold up well writing, production and sonically.
    4
  3138. I hate most (not all) of these songs for sounding way too radio, too mainstream, too commercial. But I like that Rick reminds me of appreciating the skill of crafting music wherever it occurs
    4
  3139. Does anyone else here think that it's hilarious how women do more song writing and melodic playing in contrast to male guitar players who will take every chance they get to just go balls out shredding?
    4
  3140. I was lucky enough to know Jaco pretty well, toward the end of his life, and he'd be happy that people remember him. Thanks Rick , for your in-depth analysis. RIP Jaco.
    4
  3141. I am not a musician in any way but love music. Listening/watching this conversation was so enjoyable, especially hearing the song writing process. Thank you for sharing.
    4
  3142. Boredom is THE most important thing when it comes to cultivating genuine creativity. It is nearly impossible to be bored anymore, so everyone becomes homogeneous. It’s boring.
    4
  3143. Hey Rick. I've been a silent observer of your channel for a couple of year but this video hit so hard. My deepest condolences. I can see you're putting on the bravest of faces for this video. Chin up mate.
    4
  3144. Rick, you are quickly making an irreplaceable archive of extraordinary interviews. It will stand the test of time, long after we are all gone!
    4
  3145. Rick, I only heard about you and your channel a few months ago, but I am so impressed with your intelligence and passion. I received 12 rejections to Medical School, but I also received one acceptance. I have been a Cardiac Anesthesiologist for 27 years and I am told that my skills have helped save many lives (who really knows). I am only what I am because it wasn't given to me. I, like you, had to Earn It! Thanks for telling the young people what you and I have learned. I really admire you. Thank you, your channel makes my life better.
    4
  3146. Rick. I coach Soccer and love Soccer. I cheer and I encourage all teams and players when I see awesome soccer happening. You do the same with music. You love music of all genres. So amazing to see you so excited and passionate regardless of what you are listen to and you want everyone to appreciate it. Thank you! Randy
    4
  3147. LOVE your great follow-the-breadcrumb adventure stories!!!  (BTW: the BEST arcade game back then was "Battlezone", the very first immersive 3D game!)
    4
  3148. Layla steals the show.
    4
  3149. I'm very glad more people are now discovering her because of this video, thank you very much for sharing this
    4
  3150. All three of you were incredible!! Wow!! Loved it!!! 🤘🏻🎸🤘🏻
    4
  3151. Rick not only asks great questions and listens well - his energy creates a comfortable atmosphere for people to share...
    4
  3152. You were too kind to some of those tracks, but that's part of why we love you, Rick.
    4
  3153. Rick, your interviews are such a symbiotic event, between you and the artists you meet with. The mutual level of respect exhibited is remarkable and elevates the interviews. I was mesmerized at the interaction between you and Rick Rubin. Love it!!
    4
  3154. Could you do a What Makes This Song Great video for the song Dogman by King's X?
    4
  3155. Hey Rick! Do you follow Charles Berthoud on YouTube? This young Brit is on the fast track to becoming the next Jaco or Victor Wooten. He is unbelievably talented. I thought Davie504 has some pretty mad bass skills, but Charles (who I became aware of on Davie's channel) blows him away. I strongly recommend you guys follow each other. He should follow you for the brilliant insightful experienced perspective you bring and you, him, because you'll totally appreciate his talent. He's also a totally sweet guy. Very down to Earth and often responds to my comments (unlike you, my brother LOL)
    4
  3156. Hey Rick, just wanted to say thank you once again! I've been a guitar teacher for more than 15 years now and the content you put out on the tube keeps inspiring me constantly. Especially your choice of songs to discuss is water on my mills. All the best, stay safe and keep up the marvellous energy, passion and work!
    4
  3157. It is the most beautiful thing of my entire life that a talentous musician as Rick can testifed to a other talentous musican, of admiration and compassion. Respect for you.
    4
  3158. My Nuryl music for sept. Knew it was familiar :)
    4
  3159. Thank you for this video. His music has taken me through a lot of hard times.
    4
  3160. Rick is a fantastic interviewer. Just a natural. Great interview.
    4
  3161. thanks for the upload Rick. It feels so enjoyable to see this, an interviewer with genuine questions and musician replying each incident very broadly makes these interviews so much enjoyable. I appreciate each interview, thanks for sharing them with us.
    4
  3162. That reminds me of going to see Tommy Emmanuel. At some point in the show, he asked if anybody in the audience played guitar. A guy shouted out, "Not any more!"
    4
  3163. Rick, you're a hero. I have autism - only diagnosed 5 years ago, at age 56. I also have undiagnosed ADHD. I could read, write and tell the time before I started school. I was bright. But I failed miserably at school. Or rather, school failed me miserably. I was always the dreamer, staring out of the window, getting reports with comments like 'quiet', 'unfocused', 'dreamy', 'backward', 'incapable', 'disruptive', etc. I was, like you, a great runner and jumper (being very tall helped), but rubbish at team sports. I learnt nothing at school, and left at 15 after being hospitalised after a playground beating. I went to work as a farm labourer. 8 years later, I took an IQ test and was invited to join Mensa with an IQ of 158. 5 years after that, I graduated with a first-class degree in English and American Literature. I've taught myself to read music and to play piano, and whilst I don't have anything close to your talent and proficiency, it keeps me happy and cool. And it shows how I've proven them all wrong. I now work with young people with learning disabilities, and use my singing and musical skills to keep them entertained and engaged. My own mom was my life-saver - which is why I gave up work to look after her full-time in the last 7 months of her life. I agree with you so much about teaching. I'm now a published writer. I'm good at it, too - and it isn't easy to say that with my level of life-induced insecurity. Keep well, my friend - and keep marching to the beat of your own drummer. Have you ever wondered if you might be on the spectrum? Whatever... you are a true genius. Much love and respect.
    4
  3164. I sent her Prokoviev to a friend...he accused the Video of being sped up...
    4
  3165. You probably wonder if you are truly doing it differently and why you’re immune to the negative impact many “influencers“ face. And if you’ll feel any of the same feelings. I think you will because you’re a human being and the nature of quitting something like this has its own unique characteristics, but I also think you are mature and on the right track and you won’t be nearly as affected.
    4
  3166. I really like these Spotify videos because you always have something insightful to say about any song regardless of genre. As a lifelong metalhead, this one was extra special.
    4
  3167. Thank you, Rick, for such great interview. I received the notification around midnight my time and was ready to go to bed, but I decided to watch it anyway, thinking "ok he is a great guitar player, I will watch 5 or maybe 10 minutes, there is not much he can say right?!" But omg I was so wrong. Ended up watching the entire video! I've never seen someone talk with so much passion, and share so many life lessons as Nuno did. You did a great job with this interview. I couldn't imagine any other talk show doing it better. 2 hours, two friends talking about music and life!
    4
  3168. I enjoyed this so very much! Fascinating and lovely! You’re also a very likable interviewer who is passionate, does his research, is respectful and pleasant, and is humble. I just always enjoy visiting your channel. One of my all-time favorite songs. Thank you!
    4
  3169. Rick may be “old” but he has the pulse on music nowadays more than most people. Man truly knows his stuff!
    4
  3170. What a great little presentation - especially the last few minutes - a profound lesson/message for anyone in the arts - regardless of the medium. Nice job Rick!!
    4
  3171. Sooooooo glad you did this song, Rick! I wish I could give this a thousand likes. After all these years, I always knew this song was incredible, and now thanks to your amazing analysis I know why. It is just one of those rare songs you could listen to every day for the rest of your life and NEVER get tired of it. Fantastic stuff!!
    4
  3172. That moment at around 53 minutes when Rick & Tom get emotional - I can relate to that. I started my IG account to serve as a journal to my son. I'm three years in remission with multiple myeloma and my son is now seven. One day I hope he can look back at the beautiful memories we have made together. On a different note (so to speak), this is one of my favourite videos I've seen on this channel in some time. The way these guys interact and the effortless playing is inspiring. A true pleasure to watch these amazing musicians play together. Truly humbling.
    4
  3173. Yeah Sabbath is a no-brainer for me. But maybe that was one blocker too many for his list.
    4
  3174. Rick,I've always admired the way you dissect a particular piece of music,most of which I don't understand,but I laugh out loud in joy and admiration.When I saw this Jaco video,well, it just left me in awe of not only yourself,but with the pure genius of Jaco. I bought the album almost 40 years ago and many Weather Report albums also that have filled me with sheer joy. Thanks for this video. You are a champion.
    4
  3175. Rick, these interviews need to be captured and saved for historical value. They go beyond the technical into the personal that makes them so valuable. Thanks for these great videos.
    4
  3176. Coolest thing about your channel Rick is how it brings many different types of musicians of many ages together. I'm 17 and am a fan of Polyphia, Animals as Leaders and Chon. You've also turned me on to Joe Pass and Andres Segovia and greats of the past. But your channel also attracts those in their 50s, 60s and higher. You've covered so much and brought a lot of different players together
    4
  3177. Rick. How in the holy living FUCK do you not have 100M subscribers???? You're friends with these legends, your knowledge of music history and theory is unrivaled, and you are seriously talented in your own right. The content you put out is mindblowing, and you are so down to Earth and so humble, I am always amazed with your videos. Thank you for all you do
    4
  3178. Rick Beato plays the guitar playing Zamfir's Pan flute. HA!!!
    4
  3179. Twenty years on YouTube you are my first subscription. This is absolutely, in my word, the best damned YouTube channel. Im almost as old as you and less than half as good as you but i digress: your interviews are everything real musicians and music fans dream of in an interviewer. You have such a big tool set when it comes to music and your super cool , super knowlagable presence and super chill vibe basically make you the Hendrix of music interviewers. You get so much out of these incredible artists it’s almost magic. Takes one to know one, apparently. You fucking rock, Rick.
    4
  3180. After seeing Bernard on the Steely Dan Aja BTS DVD breaking this down so many years ago, it's so wonderful to see this legend still at it and sharing the finer points with Rick. You're doing important work here Rick, documenting the finer points of these musical geniuses. His philosophy about leaving room for everyone isn't only musically effective, it shows that he is a true gentleman too, wanting make everyone in the band to shine as well. What class! As someone who myself has shot thousands of interviews, you are such an instinctual and effective interviewer as well, nice work.
    4
  3181. One of the greatest three hours I have used up in a long time! This would have been a fantastic Netflix series Rick and then we could have covered every album over 10 hours! Could that happen? So good, thank you for showing the same enthusiasm and joy and curiosity for music and Daniels work as I have. You nailed it brother.
    4
  3182. I teared up, there was nothing I could do to make my dad happy.
    4
  3183. I was captivated by this video...the more I learn here, the more I WANT! Thanks fellas👍
    4
  3184. Thank you Rick, you always get so much more than what we think we know about those awesome artists! « Nobody, nobody had hit everything, like it’s supposed to be! » That’s right, you are not a « rock journalist », you ask the questions that would take ages for us to figure, if we had the opportunity to meet those masters. So now I can just repeat to you and your guests: Thank you, thank you, thank you,…
    4
  3185. Per your last point, a single semitone across the board actually has a huge impact on what a voice sounds like, particularly if it’s a recording/processing artifact rather than something natural like “morning voice” etc. Try messing around with a pitch shifting plug-in if you have access to one, it’s really interesting! Cheers :)
    4
  3186. Rick, I thought about you today, and your evolution from “delivering / explaining” via music theory and WMTSG presentations, to the “two way” dialogues and interviews with your peers and music legends. THANK YOU for sticking with it, I know it has to be SO much work… you are producing a LEGACY like Dick Cavett did… your body of work needs to be in the Library of Congress for future generations!
    4
  3187. Great guitarist, but Rick does the best interviews, just spot on style of conversation
    4
  3188. I' purchased the Beato Book, and I am in the club! Saving up for the Ear Training Course to help support more, Rick. Keep up the good work with the videos.
    4
  3189. When Rick looks at the camera and says "Right?" and I have no idea what he is talking about I know it's time to grab my Beato Book and get busy.
    4
  3190. I can’t play a note and don’t really listen to music but a magical 3 hours I did not want to end.
    4
  3191. Once again, I know nothing about music - I just like listening. And here I've learned so much more than I could have expected. I never had respect for session musicians thinking they were low-quality generic players. Now I know - session musicians are very talented and "instrumental" to popular music. Thanks for the education.
    4
  3192. Now I need something like "what makes Comfortably Numb so great?" with David Gilmour. It would be as awesome as that video is.
    4
  3193. The demo clip albeit short sounded more edgy especially the voicing of the second chord.
    4
  3194. Brilliant fellas. Rick nailed it, Angus solos have a beginning middle and end, with phrasing to die for. What else could you ask for?
    4
  3195. Rick, you somehow manage to get these guys to talk about the stuff we are really interested in ! I feel like I actually understand what was in Micheal's head when doing the Soundgarden record... the sonics of it. Great interview !
    4
  3196. This is without doubt some of the best content on YouTube. The insights are epic. Always loved this song but wow ... Great job seal !
    4
  3197. I found Rick when he paid homage to Allan Holdsworth. Couldn’t have been in the hundreds back then. All he’s done since shows that he never changed…he just stayed true to what he wanted to share with the world. Such a resource, and ambassador.
    4
  3198. I paid $100 for the Beato bundle a couple of years ago. Best deal ever!
    4
  3199. Hey Rick.. Joe from Mossel Bay, South Africa here.. That interview was great, wow! Been listening to his musical brilliance for 50years ..he is also an inspiration for being 84 years young!
    4
  3200. been a Beato fan for many many years, but this is a masterclass...the fact that he let you pick apart and analyze a few songs is a miracle...what a gift to us all. rick you have crossed over. teacher and student all at once. lucky guy. and andy is so great to listen to, this could have gone on all day. only saw the police once, at JFK in philly with 80,000+ others and it was perfection all the way, 1000 seater in Bath would have been unimaginable and the intensity could have caused mental problems down the road. roxanne story is so strange, in that the the first time most of us heard it, we were hooked immediately. so now its going to be these high level guys knockin your door down, because you get it. because you are one of them. killer.
    4
  3201. Brilliant tour, thank you and Abbey Roads techs/admin for the insights on the gear, how it was used(misused) and the history. Having two experts chat about the “how’s & why’s” of experimental and recordings was great. Applause also to Abbey Road techs keeping all the gear running and updating the sounds into the digital realm.
    4
  3202. "Celluloid Heroes" by The Kinks is the greatest classic rock ballad of all time. Poignant, insightful, melodic, elegiac, universal, subtle, sublime, touching... I could go on and on. A masterpiece.
    4
  3203. Rick, I was literally talking with a colleague today about your artist interviews - we're both musicians turned stagehands at an NBA arena that hosts a lot of big concerts (as one does). keep throwing stuff out there💚💚💚
    4
  3204. I find it hilarious and charming in a weird way that Rick named this video after that Adele line. It’s strange because in the video it’s just a tiny throwaway comment, and as far as I can recall, Rick usually names his videos pretty accurately describing the content or what it’s generally about. Then this totally random title makes so much more sense to me after seeing his reaction to that part of Tim’s story, it’s so infectious to hear/see true laughter. Man Rick was cracking up! I didn’t find the comment so funny but I couldn’t help laughing out loud along with Rick. That was nice and pure. Then he names this video which shows to me he still thinks it’s really funny. RICK IS THE MAN!!! I get so much valuable and entertaining information from this channel as a musician/songwriter, but I also get a lot of joy from it, from moments like this. Or some of the moments in what makes this song great, where he is just geeking out super hard to a part of a song, totally lost in his head for a few seconds, unrelated to the video he’s making or anything else in the world. Thank you Rick for being so real and candid in a YouTube full these days of channels that no matter how informative, are entirely to self aware, overthought, overedited, self conscious and/or smug(or pretending to be smug due to low self esteem). So nice to see someone just genuinely 100% into what they’re doing and not afraid to be themselves and let the video flow freely at times. Sometimes he’ll tell a story starting it to show an example of something he’s trying to explain or whatever, but meanders a bit and it kind of derails and doesn’t really get any clear point across relating to the initial topic, but I’m okay with that(there is a fine line here, if he just rambled constantly in video after video it would be super boring).  He seems to be motivated to try and make videos he hopes others will find useful, informative, educational, and inspiring, and I think he succeeds and a big part of that is he doesn’t seem to try TOO hard, meaning he plays it loose enough to not just feel like a scripted lesson, like a bad schoolteacher. The best teachers in my schools were always the ones who made you laugh, treated you as equals, and were genuinely interested and excited in sharing the days material with you. They felt like friends... Hey Rick, You probably won’t see this but I feel like writing so I’ll just continue anyhow. I stumbled across your channel accidentally pretty early on(I think you had less than 20 videos or something at that point!) and have been a huge fan ever since. I was going through a terribly dark time surrounded by death and loss and uncertainty, and I didn’t have much going on. Playing, writing, and recording music was one of the only things I had left to keep me sane and help relieve some stress. And watching your channel was not only a learning experience but also a comfort when I was very alone. Thank you Mr. Beato, high school was a long time ago, you’re my new favorite teacher.

  3205. Rick, I find it amazing that you have lived a life I dare say Star Trek's Spock would call "fascinating"! Musician, superb guitarist (I love Cardinal Motion), platinum record producer for Shinedown, platinum country music song writer for Parmalee, teacher of music theory and music appreciation! I love your enthusiasm (especially air drums, guitar and keyboards) in showing us what makes a song great whether it's Metallica or Mozart! I guess you're a true Renaissance man! You've interviewed the greats from May (Brian) to Mitchell (Joni) and so many others which brings us insight into What Makes These Artists Great! I also love the beautiful guitar teaching shorts! So thank you for expanding our musical horizons, you make it all look so enjoyable...like that!

  3206. Great video! And I'll always love Jaco. He was a generous kind of cat. I must say I'm 95% sure Donna Lee was by Miles. That opening 4 measure lick is most definitely a trumpet lick [and trumpeters have informed me of that]. Also, Miles was asked about it and he didn't seem to mind the , can we say, 'plagiarism.' Bird got the credit and maybe publishing [money] was involved [there may have been substances and debts being involved perhaps. wink* wink*] Miles took credit for Nardis [and Bill Evans might've been in a similar debt predicament as Miles. I'll leave it there. But anyway, I really enjoyed this presentation of what's near and dear to me. I'm thinking about posting a jam session Jaco, Kenwood Dennard and myself did together around '83. Any suggestions? Your humbled cousin-in-law.

  3207. Bruh Rick made a realistic 3D character model of himself and animated it to walk in the background. Can't fool me you boomer. I know you use greenscreens.

  3208. Big Kurt and Rick fan here. This really hit the spot.

  3209. Ah, my friend, many of us still out here who, like you, remember, Emerson, Lake and Palmer... and so many others, (ELO, Alan Parsons Project etc.) Happy New year, best wishes to you and your fam. Keep the Videos coming..

  3210. This was an absolute masterclass in how to do an interview. It also reaffirmed for me, just how much I adore Tori!

  3212. Hey Rick, ended up going to the ceremony and it was great. Congratulations again on your induction. Didn’t know that story about your broken ankle that summer.

  3213. You'll probably never see this Rick, but I was both inspired by the greatest influence in introducing new groups in US radio, WNEW-FM at the time AM was being reduced to repetitious torture by the program director at 77 WABC, Rick Sklar, while my relative had worked his way into an influential position there. I was incredibly fortunate to have a three hour slot at a 50k watt public station in Houston for a while with no restrictions and an 11,000 LP (!) library. Needless to say, I used my WNEW idealization as my template. But by that time, most FM stations had already adopted highly restricted formats. I got a reputation among radio guys in the area for both my adeptness and commentary, and I've got the pipes. Pretty soon, I was pushed to move to one of a few top FM stations there. Sadly, by then, FM had moved to Sklar's AM repetition, and the thought of doing that made me want to puke. And how far back was that? 1977. As always, Rick, much gratitude for your passion and kind humanity. Your insane depth of knowledge makes you unique, but it's those qualities that make all of us and some of the world's greatest talents appreciate you. 🙏

  3214. Rick, do you realize your videos get more views than CNN? CNN has 4000 employees. You have you and one guy who helps sometimes. Just sayin’…
    4
  3215. Man this sound reminds me of Per Nilsson's playing. Check him out, he will blown your mind off! Great inspiring video as always!
    4
  3216. I've been coming back to this video many times since it was first uploaded, but it makes me so giddy like I'm hearing it for the first time every time I come back and the music begins. Not even the solos, just the rhythm track at 3:36 is so vivid I can basically hear the original solo in my head. What a fantastic video.
    4
  3217. Amazing. I had never even heard of him, and now wish I had. And, it's so cool you still have albums from your younger years... Just about everything I ever had, have somehow seemed to disappear. All my record albums, etc... The most heartbreaking, was a 70s Kent Les Paul copy, black which my Father bought for me from one of his best friends, who had been a studio musician back in his day. That was back in 1981. A few years later, I was in a band, we played a show at our school gym. After the show, loading our gear into a friend's pickup truck, that guitar was stolen... I have no idea why, but this video just brought all that back to me, and so, when I see someone who still has these types of memories, I feel very happy for them I feel very bad about this man's passing, but at the same time, I'm glad I will be able to search around for his music, and get to know it at the age of 52. Being able to still discover new (to me) music is still just as exciting as when I was young. It's very obvious, he left a gift to the world which will never stop giving, and that's more than most can do in their lifetime Thank you for introducing me to this wonderful sound.

  3218. Well good explanation- I am studying Jazz with Ray Brown in Santa Cruz and this is super helpful. Thanks!
    4
  3219. The content on this channel feels so real and so unique, compared to all the trash that gets uploaded, Rick always feels passionate and honest. He approaches things the way he does probably due to his age, and i love him for that.
    4
  3220. Rick, this is the greatest demonstration of a greenscreen I've ever seen.
    4
  3221. I used to think being high on life was enough. But Rick has convinced me that I can be high on music, too.

  3222. Hey Rick, this is Lenny Castro. I don’t get that whole Yacht Rock thing. I played on a lot of what you played. It’s weird. I’d love to do and interview some day. Contact me.

  3223. I jammed on my Trumpet with Pat and Gary Sivils at the Kansas city municipal airport club. I want to say 1979, 1980ish. l. I payed 2 songs as a high school guest of Gary Sivils. I was just blown away that night. This interview is so cool.

  3224. Rick! Long time listener, first time commenter. I love this solo, I immediately connected with it. Do you have tabs for it so we can learn it?

  3225. Rick got a haircut mid video 😆

  3226. Thank you, Rick, this was one of the best Steely Dan-related interviews I've ever heard.

  3227. One of the best, if not the best interview I have seen on your show. VERY engrossing. ❤
    4
  3228. Seeing you guys connecting again and playing almost brought tears in my eyes. Rick,people who never met you love you like a family member and that’s truly remarkable
    4
  3229. Rick making these songs sound 45% better with his riffs layered on top

  3230. I will bark today in Aunt Penny's honor. We all could use an Aunt Penny in our lives.

  3231. So happy to see this! Swervedriver is a behemoth, and a wonderful grab bag of unique notes and ideas. Romantic, brooding, pummeling, menacing, euphoric. Jigsaw Guitar parts. Amazing noises. So musical and exciting. No other band like them.

  3232. my 17 year old son has had it for a few years, he is profoundly deaf, has a cochlear implant and wears a hearing aid on the other ear. Feel for him having limited hearing but is also dealing with ringing every day. I too hope they discover a cure, being a drummer for 40 years I’m thankful I don’t have it, and no, I’ve never worn ear protection, my gigs are loud blues with loud monitors.

  3233. These two guys are like a comedy team
    4
  3234. I do not know how this ended up in my recommended other than a few weeks ago I searched "More than a feeling", and I knew there was something special about them when I heard Boston for the first time as a early teen in the 70s, also I have no frickin clue what you are talking about but its brilliant. Sadly music like this can not be duplicated.
    4
  3235. You probably know this by now, Rick, but your interviews are some of the best and have raised the bar considerably. Great stuff, man.
    4
  3236. Wow!! That was an extremely interesting exercise. Amazing solos by all 3!! Phil X is Phil X - say no more. Rick's solo of Frampton is simply genius - he really captured the Frampton thing and the Stairway thing spot on. How the heck!?!
    4
  3237. I love at the end to break the tension you guys all laughed....so great. NEVER take yourself seriously and have a great time!!
    4
  3238. I like the high resolve! 🙂
    4
  3239. The story is great... but I have to say, the lighting and production quality of this short video are so impressive too. The way the aqua blue guitar strap pops on his denim shirt. The mood lighting in back. Rick is alway a few steps ahead, but the production value really caught my eye this time. I found myself staring at it – just because it was cool to look at.
    4
  3240. I've watched this several times and never grow tired if it. I've even shared it with many of my guitar enthusiast friends. Awesome! Just awesome!
    4
  3241. Rick is the only man in the entire world that could move in me some kind of appreciation for something related to Coldplay. And I think this could be far more difficult than reaching Mars with a boat. Congrats Rick! Now, if it's possible, I'd like an episode for alter bridge or evergrey ❤️

  3242. RIP Aunt Penny. Thank you for being an inspiration all that time, all those years ago, and for new generations, today and onward. Sorry for your loss, Rick. Much love from South Africa.

  3243. Rick I have never connected so deeply to someone as you when you get hit with this goodness of this music. love it
    4
  3244. I like just watching how much he is enjoying telling us about the song!
    4
  3245. I love how the direct connection to the audience, backed by view counts, drives content creation. Thank you, Mr. Beato.
    4
  3246. I knew most of this, but it's an amazing story; and i knew you would present it so well. Thanks Rick. I have tinnitus too; I fortunately got some disability for it because I played keys in the Air Force rock band (believe it or not). I could not hear anything of your demonstration sound of what you experience. Yikes!
    4
  3247. Rick, once again you’ve knocked it out of the park. Thank you so much for having such a smart and interesting guest and thus making me smarter and more interesting (I think)😟 Anyway, that was really great. I’m proud to have been there for the launch of podcast #1 and looking forward to many more.
    4
  3248. Rick is, hands down, a musician's musician. Few people have the vast knowledge of the music industry and its artists.
    4
  3249. How did that goofy interview get me all verklempt at the end? I'm getting misty over here. Thank you Rick, Thank you Joe. My heroes.
    4
  3250. I love how this video is basically just Rick hangin out with the boys (us) showing them his favorite solo. Also, frank is INSANE
    4
  3251. Love Dave.... we spent a lot of time together when he was at BMG... Sven Gali, Cowboy Junkies, Crash Test Dummies, KD Lang... and... a band that never raged everywhere (that should have)... Varga... listen to Dave's work on those albums... just so damn good. Very wild and fun to watch this. Haven't seen Dave in DECADES... but love him... always!
    4
  3252. I love how you can't help but laugh at the first 5 songs, had me giggling right along with you. Naw, tic toc is not for me- I'm not a dancer!😂
    4
  3253. As you were playing these I was like, "Man I've heard these before." Then at 7:37 a lightbulb went off! I've been watching your IG posts for a while so thanks for making this video to explain this technique. I will look for it in your future posts and try to call it out ha
    4
  3254. LOVE the variety on Rick's channel
    4
  3255. This is music history on YouTube. Everyone who enjoys notes and chords should be grateful for each interview to hear personally from the joy of musicians who have played the notes with precision, beauty and prolific technique.
    4
  3256. One of the liveliest, most discerning and best informed discussions of the contemporary music scene I’ve heard. The fact that Rick and Tim between them have more and more varied experience than most musicians gives what they say real depth. I loved what Tim said about dirt-road lyrics. This has been a problem in blues-based writing especially for ages now. Part of the problem, I think, is that whereas many guitarists (say) have absorbed the whole recorded history of their instrument, many lyricists seem to learn chiefly their contemporaries in the same genre. But lyrics are older than Homer. The variety of idioms in current songwriting could reflect this but generally doesn’t. One rather chilling remark Tim makes is about needing to follow formulae. In order to get on stages indie musicians either need massive promotion or else to do something that doesn’t feel too experimental. The prevalence of tribute acts—I’ve been in a couple—is evidence of this. What’s needed is support for real grass-roots diversity—real diversity embracing many kinds of music within popular forms—from musicians with expertise and influence. That’s why I found it so heartening to hear Rick and Tim doing precisely that. Thank you guys! More on these themes would be great.

  3257. Amazing interview of an incredible musician. Rick’s cred and knowledge is a big part of what made this so special by asking the right questions and follow ups, and Derek Trucks seems like a really special human being - we all know how great a player he is.
    4
  3258. Yep, he's as into it as we are... It's just as fun watching him react as well... Quite a unique man!
    4
  3259. Very special tap into the mind , heart and life of a musician . Derek trusted Rick fully.
    4
  3260. This video came at the right time. After being out of school for 30 years, I’ve gone back to school to follow a passion for a second career and last night was my first class. I am SO in over my head, but excited about what I am going to learn. Glad to know I’m not alone.
    4
  3261. Total respect for all involved and who love and have mastered this type of music. It just does nothing for me. I've tried - no can do.
    4
  3262. i'm constantly showing your vids to my friends that are reporters, and interview people, saying: this is how you interview someone. Thank you so much, Rick!
    4
  3263. Damn Rick, "Dark Shadows"! What a reference, how many of the last 2 generations do you think will recognize that one! LMFAO 👍 Great Scott
    4
  3264. That's the easiest flowing interview I think you have done Rick. It must have been such a pleasure for you to chat with Leland and see his passion shine. Just great.
    4
  3265. Hi Rick, Great interview. I've been a fan of Stings' work since the first police album. I've just donated. Please keep doing this kind of work. You're becoming a significant influence on me and I highly value your perspective. All the best to you and your team.

  3266. Jason Tillery... He should change his first name in Art. Because his singing is fire!

  3267. Rick Beato = best music interviewer ever
    4
  3268. A really great interviewer and interviewee. Unlike many, Rick Beato knows when to stay silent, and Rick Wakeman knows a story or ten, and how to punctuate them with effortless piano playing. Let's have a Part II in the near future.
    4
  3269. Amazing! Another Stevie Wonder?

  3270. Rick, I wonder if you have any pointers for me, ten years ago I had major brain surgery on my cerebellum, it prevented me from strumming a guitar, but I could still finger pick, then back at the end of June history repeated itself, i had an egg size tumour removed from my cerebellum. Since then i have totally lost my coordination to play anything, whilst I'm in no way a virtuoso player, one of life's pleasures has disappeared for me. Thank you for keeping me company whilst I was in hospital, lovely to hear you spent time in my home town of Cardiff, Wales in the 1990s.

  3271. Thanks a lot for your great video and channel, Rick!!!
    3
  3272. This is a perfect example of why I love your channel. Your love of ALL music is very obvious. Too many people become fixated on one genre and miss the beauty in other genres. I listen to everything including opera and classical. As a child my 2nd grade teacher would play Beethoven records in class. I believe this is what started my love affair with music. I also had a big crush on my teacher which may have helped to foster this love. I am 58 and will be 59 in 3 days. This has truly been a lifelong love. THANK YOU so much for all you do.

  3273. When Rick did Roxanne by The Police the first thing that popped into my head was the movie 48hrs. When Eddie Murphy had on his walkman and was singing both parts to the chorus. One of his funniest movie moments.
    3
  3274. I went to see Laura Nyro by my self . No one would go with me. None of my friends even heard of her. Made me think of that.
    3
  3275. Rick is a modern music historian. These interviews will be watched for generations. Thank you for doing this. ❤️
    3
  3276. There are many musicians who have a lot to learn from but go unrecognized or they are not as accessible to expose them to others in detail. Rick introduces those like Thomas and Shawn Lane Holdsworth and others that have actual knowledge to learn from. He breaks down all the details and leaves no stone unturned in doing so. Bringing information straight from the source. His videos are invaluable documentation that provides a wealth information. The integrity of the content makes it worth viewing every time.
    3
  3277. The more of your interviews I see the more I realize that I have lived in a musical golden age. Thank you for showing us that.

  3279. @rickbeato This is great! I’m currently ready a book on this topic called From Strength to Strength by Authur C. Brooks (Finding Success, Happiness and Purpose in the second half of life). I’m a drummer and cancer survivor so my new normal and outlook has changed a bit because of the cancer treatments. Love your channel.
    3
  3280. Rick, you are always courageous to say that stuff!!! Who says the truth got enemies everywhere!!! That why I am supporting you also through buying you guitar courses🤩
    3
  3281. Really enjoyed this spiel. Your Aunt Penny must have been/must be so proud! Loved/love that video of you and Aunt Penny. Thanks for the listening tips too. Lots of love and gratitude to you.
    3
  3282. Rick, thank you so much for these. You’re a master interviewer and your choice of guests is perfect! Would be cool to see one with Peter Gabriel one day!
    3
  3283. Rick, not sure if you'll read this but I was watching episode 3 of the new Westworld season and they played jazzy musical arrangements of Billie Eilish "Bad Guy" and Metallica "Enter Sandman" it immediately made me think of you. Just thought I'd share.
    3
  3284. ❤we all love talented Tim Pierce so very much-Musical Dean-yus Parks gave him well-deserved relief today about his jingle bell rock experience, I will not soon forget this and then there is Jay Graydon and I don’t think I’ve ever heard such a chill interview from him prior…..Rick Beato, we cherish you so much ❤thank you for bringing this to us.

  3285. Never Lose That Feeling Rick
    3
  3286. Uhhhhhh .... Sorry.... One of the best and coolest musical YouTube personalities interviews his own musical hero for nearly 2 hours.... This seems unprecedented to me. I'm hanging on every GD word!!!!! (Yes, I had to stop a third of the way in to make a comment, thank you very much, have a great rest of your own day!)
    3
  3287. I just can't express in words how much o a great interviewer Rick is! It is AMAZING!
    3
  3288. As a classical pianist I thank you Rick for showing Martha to your audience! She is truly amazing and everybody deserves to experience her playing!
    3
  3289. This world truly needed a Rick Beato :) Would love to see Gojira in What makes this song great (The Art Of Dying with its 45 time signature, beautiful atmospheres and BADASS RIFFS!!)

  3290. I only regret that I have but one upvote to give this amazing video. Rick, your interviews are amazing. Thank you.
    3
  3291. You are, without a shadow of a doubt, the greatest rock interviewer, presenter, story teller, teacher, and so many other accolades one could rattle off, that has ever been in any form of media. Always such a pleasure when you post a new video.
    3
  3292. Rick I'm a man of few words. Sometimes I don't even know how to express my true feelings and I can only say so sorry. I believe that someday we will have the answers to all our questions. Rick your guitar solo is above all praise and I marked this video so I can come back and listen to your solo again and again. Thanks Rick.
    3
  3293. i could watch a montage of rick being jump scared when songs start or get louder hahah. love the videos rick!

  3294. I freaking love that Pelham Blue LP and his signature blue LP Special.

  3295. Dude you're putting us other music teachers out of a job lol. Greetings, rick.
    3
  3296. I Remsen let telling you that I had been listening to a lot of John McLaughlin with Shakti and was blown away by the speed and ideas in his solos…then you told me to get “Footprints” and that was at another level.
    3
  3297. Rick is such an intelligent classy interviewer. Always intelligent, insightful questions. And he always interviews Intelligent classy musicians who, no doubt, appreciate being interviewed by an intelligent classy interviewer. Love it!❤
    3
  3298. Rick, you are simply the most talented and knowledgeable musician around today - you are a rare master craftsman in your field. Sharing what you know and do with us all is just wonderful. Thanks.
    3
  3299. Yes. Whatever you liked at 15-25 is what you will take with you to the grave.
    3
  3300. Thank you Rick. I so love Joni's music, and hearing the back story on Amelia gave me chills. Giving your younger audience this song was important. Well done!
    3
  3301. Now I understand why Rick has over 1,700,000 subscribers..another Great video..!!
    3
  3302. I was fascinated by your statement that people comment not about the content or creator but about themselves, whether they think they are or not. I find that really insightful. I think any sort of content creator--author, musician, artist, youtuber--would really benefit from thinking hard about this. They always say that you have to have a thick skin in these industries but I think that's the wrong way to look at it. I think it's much healthier to realize that an individual or even a team of brilliant people cannot possibly create anything that everyone will universally love. One has to quell one's inner vanity and be a realist in order to survive and thrive. And that's not as easy as it sounds. Obviously I'm talking about myself and thinking through how I've dealt with being a creator in the past. Heh. All this to say--I think your approach is extremely healthy. Keep dropping pearls like that, man.
    3
  3303. Please make more of these videos Rick, the classic rock what makes this song great videos are excellent but it gets kind of tedious after knowing the same conjuration happens all the time over and over. Your musical analysis are astonishing and this Jazz video was a complete delight.
    3
  3304. One of my greatest YouTube influencers doing a video on one of my biggest musical influences. Can't beat it. Thanks again for the great work, Rick
    3
  3305. This was great . Besides Albert King and Eric Gales , I would add Doyle Bramhall ll , Otis Rush and Elizabeth Cotton to the upside down backwards players. I play that way too and find pros and cons : ska and reggae are downstrokes instead of up strokes ….and pulling down for blues bends is natural cause gravity is on your side helping out .
    3
  3306. When I saw your name as one of the guests, I did a double take. "Wait!... THEE Rick Beato?!" 😄 Been watching Walking/Talking Dead since day one, and I can safely say that I never expected to see my fave YT music education creator in the same context as my fave zombie show. And that scene where Carol returns.... damn, I forgot how moving that was, and the music really was perfect: understated and sparse. Daryl running up to Carol, and Rick seeing that Judith was ok 😢. What an amazing scene. Glad you called that one out, Rick.
    3
  3307. Its videos like this that makes Youtube fantastic! 😎👍👍👍👍
    3
  3308. "Best interview on this channel thus far!" should have been the title of this video, and it wouldn't be clickbait. Can't wait for Part II. An hour and a half minimum is an appropriate length video for these types of interviews IMO.
    3
  3309. Last time you did this, Eddie died the next day. Let's hope this time will be different and nobody dies.
    3
  3310. Wow. I started to type that this interview was a 10 on a 10-scale, but then I caught myself. Like Nigel Tufnel's amps, this one goes to 11. Thank you, Pat and Rick, for a superb interview. I could've watched another 10 hours. Let's make it a series!
    3
  3311. This is me of the most important music channels. Showing what real music is about.
    3
  3312. I love these videos. I'm not a musician, but these analyses and breakdowns of songs that i love are just amazing. Thank you!
    3
  3313. Rick: "listen.... (speech merchant note delivery completely unintelligible to me) da da da da da da da da da da da" Rick "now slower: (exact same thing to me )" Rick "hear it"? Me: no
    3
  3314. One again Rick acts like a guide but stays out of the way of the artist. Amazing interview. Amazing interaction. Every artist I've seen Rick interview seems so at ease and so open. The artists wouldn't do that if Rick was up their butts trying to show off his knowledge. Great interview. Rick man, you've nailed another one.

  3315. Note to the camera guy/gal...the individual shots are framed too tight, we can't see the hands most of the time.
    3
  3316. I have never seen anyone duplicate "Money for Nothing" properly!
    3
  3317. Rick is the music Dad we all wish we had, but we kinda all do have him, educating here on YT.
    3
  3318. I have no idea what you are talking about and cannot intellectualize music very well, but I feel this is a really great song and love hearing you explain why.
    3
  3319. I've always kind of loved the "randomness" of your video topics! All I know is, whenever I see that you've posted a new one, I have to check it out! I'm sure I'm repeating what the 5000+ commenters here have said, but your videos are interesting, informative, entertaining, and maybe most of all, accessible...you're merely being you, and that makes us want to keep watching! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and talent with all of us, and please, make that day you "quit" a very long way off! Love you! ❤🎶🎵❤

  3320. That Broadkaster kit with the bell brass and 2002:s sound like a dream from the start. Pair this with a great drummer and you'll get a great drum sound no matter what.
    3
  3321. Hello. Rick. I wanted to say how much I appreciate you for showcasing these amazing artists on your channel. It is hard to be an artist these days. My son is at Berklee working on his songwriting and engineering degree. So, wanted to thank you on behalf of all the talented kids out there. Keep doing what you are doing. I live in Gwinnett County, GA. If there is anything I can help you with, let me know. I will try.
    3
  3322. So, that AJR song, did they sample that horn line from Paul Simon's My Little Town, or did they just steal it? Surprised Rick didn't mention anything about. Almost made it sound like they wrote it.
    3
  3323. PLEASE subscribe, people! Rick does interviews no-one else does, getting way beyond "isn't it great to be famous", instead getting to the heart of the artists, why they make the music they make and how they do it. They are really single-take documentaries.

  3324. Thankyou Rick… you’ve interviewed my all time three favourite drummers recently Danny, Josh and Jimmy… Thankyou❤

  3325. I've got pages of the pdf printed up in a binder with the title "The Beato Bible" and keep adding to it as I go through the pdf. What version of the book are we up to?
    3
  3326. Rick, I've seen a few of your interviews and this is the best so far. A masterclass of not only guitar but music itself and most important, about life. Such an amazing energy that it makes you smile from beginning to end. What a joy, thank you.

  3329. As a retired tax guy, love this. Great job.
    3
  3330. Hey Rick, I'm 74 and often thought I should do what you're doing. You're doing it great. I've turned many of my younger friends onto the music of to late 60's and 70's. Specifically Steely Dan, The Alman Brothers etc. Keep up the good work.
    3
  3331. It's a little hilarious that an expert on blocking like you would have had any reason to hope that NBC/SNL would not block that skit. Music blockers look up to Blocking Masters like SNL

  3332. When we’re all long gone people will still be listening to John Williams, just like we listen to Bach and Mozart now.
    3
  3333. Much love for everything you do for music and for us!
    3
  3334. My outside observation of one of the reasons why your videos are great is because your deep love of & enthusiasm for music is communicated so clearly.
    3
  3335. Thank you Rick. Your interviews are great. You create such an easygoing environment with your subject that it seems they open up to you so easily. Do you know these musicians beforehand or do you spend time with them before you turn on the camera. Derek and others seem to open up with you so immediately and give genuine insight to their craft and experiences which make these interviews long and deep conversations that resonate with the listener. Thank you.
    3
  3336. I think it says something about Rick (Rubin)’s level of engagement—with both music and the interview—that he started suggesting things to listen to. Offhand I don’t remember seeing anyone else do this in one of Rick (Beato)’s interviews.
    3
  3337. Very Rick Beatoish 😂
    3
  3338. When a friend first approached Rick and told him to do a YouTube channel, Rick replied, "who wants to listen to some old guy talk about music?" Well, apparently an awful lot.
    3
  3339. You're a good friend, Rick. Thanks for telling us about him, and about the music history you guys shared.
    3
  3340. Didn't think anything could top Ricks muso interviews but Dave take a bow..that was absolutely fabulous . Get that man back for some more tech and industry stuff! 5 stars from me!
    3
  3341. Some righteous indignation there Rick. Right on point brother. Loving the passion of your argument/rant and you’re 100% correct.
    3
  3342. Beautiful Guitar Rick!
    3
  3343. I love how rick is like yea it’s definitely tuned down a whole step, not that any of that fucking matters to me i can play anything regardless. The amount of musical talent always amazes me.
    3
  3344. Dear Don Henley, I just got back from the iTunes store where I was shopping for Polyphia. I'd never heard of them until I saw them on this platform called the you tube--except it's spelled one word. Anyway, when you're done reprogramming your VCR you should put some of your songs up there, too.
    3
  3345. Suddenly the day seems much brighter.
    3
  3346. Rick, what I’ve always truly loved about your channel and yourself. Is that you speak, communicate or build friendships with average people and/or fans. You are a very humble man, and to me that means a lot. There are people I grew up with who are famous in music or entertainment that either ignore or don’t respond when I reach out to them. Or just individuals who are like my favorite guitarist who I reach out to and never hear anything. I find it bothersome because they forget the fans make them who they are. But not you, you go above and beyond building friendships with your fans. For that you truly are a gentleman. Godspeed Peter….
    3
  3347. When I saw the thumbnail of this video on the listing panel on the right of my screen, all I could see was part of the title: The Death of the Middle.... I assumed, being Beato, that the video's full title would The Death of the Middle Eight, so I got a surprise when I clicked on it. But maybe he should do a video on The Death of the Middle Eight?
    3
  3348. I applaud Rick's and Smitty's musical integrity. Most, oh who am I kidding, every musician who has ever covered this song would've dispensed with all the modulations and played a much simpler version.
    3
  3349. You have the respect of your audience because of your enthusiasm for music, you have the respect of your guests because of their respect for you. Just great stuff!
    3
  3350. I was lucky enough to be working at a record store in 1976, only person in at the time..... and saw a recently arrived promo copy of Pat's "Bright Size Life" album. I had no idea of who this was but the cover and the fact that it was a trio was interesting to me, so I plopped it on the turntable for the store's overhead system....... and I've never been the same since!
    3
  3351. Now I see why he calls it “everything music”
    3
  3352. Unfortunately people can’t wait to hit those buttons before they are in gear. Yes Pat Metheny. Al Di Meola etc. Those triads have been around since day dot. Rick. You’re a Total inspiration. I wish you Great Health and please more uploads about Anything including your favourite foods 😂 Love from UK 🇬🇧

  3353. Thanks Rick ! I needed watch something other than Covid-19... 😂

  3354. Holee FARKING sheeth!!! Monsters' OF SOLO! for a second I thought "EDDWARD" had it,cuz it was the sickness. And the E.J. had to literally blow my mind and crush my dreams. And be re-inspired all while my chicken skin grew goose bumps. Thank you Rick.
    3
  3355. I hope he’s bad at parallel parking or something to humble him because he’s too perfect as is
    3
  3356. Rick IS the Dragon!
    3
  3357. Listen to his cover of "Day in the Life!" He even mimics the great transition (the crazy orchestral glissando -- for lack of better words) between the 2 parts. Crazy good performer.
    3
  3358. Dude, YOU are uncopyable. Thank you so much for your channel. It has truly been a little sunshine in the world.
    3
  3359. I prefer David Gilmour...oh, wait...nevermind :-) I've been waiting for this one for a long while.
    3
  3360. Rick said 2024 I'm not playing , bringing straight 🔥 with these interviews. I'm loving them all.
    3
  3361. Rick this is the best video I’ve ever watched on YouTube. Congratulations
    3
  3362. Some great playing. Rick your hosting genius is the letting the other people talk without interrupting.👨🏻‍🦳
    3
  3363. "Blockers" are bands or artists that search (or pay others to search) for their music being "illegally" played on YouTube and ask YT to block it, which often results in that video being taken down. Basically they are the whiners of the music industry making folks like Rick who are showcasing their music for positive exposure lose out.
    3
  3364. This guy plays guitar ... Everyone else collectively admits defeat.

  3365. We sound like we had the same teachers, Rick! I failed out of high school. Now I'm a professor!

  3367. Rick you have AMAZING recall and I could listen to your stories for days non-stop. Also, I want to thank you for all the great stories and your no BS style. Seriously, this is one of the best YouTube channels about music if not THE best! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
    3
  3368. I am certain of this: Gordon Sumner has never been interviewed by anyone so prepared and knowledgeable as Rick Beato. He was looking up from time to time with that “How the hell did you know that?” look. Well done, you.
    3
  3369. Are we all gonna ignore that he just casually played icarus lives at the start of the video, what a djent god
    3
  3370. This is one of the best most comprehensive breakdown of one of my favorite songs. This is music appreciation. Thank you Rick.
    3
  3371. I am not a musician, but I really enjoy watching your videos, Rick. This video really hit home for me. Bright Size Life is my favorite Pat Metheny album and Jaco’s debut I also bought on vinyl when it came out and I was a kid. Back in 1976, when I was a senior in high school or a college freshman, I took my little brother to see Weather Report in Oakland, CA. Nobody had really heard of Jaco yet. He played on a couple tracks of Black Market, but his sound and technique did not stand out like it would on the next WR album, Heavy Weather. That night, Jaco was wearing a Philadephia Phillies baseball cap pulled down low, and that seemed so cool. He did his trademark bass solo with him playing over his own riff that played on a loop. He finished the solo by setting the bass on the ground and slapping it and then walking off the stage. Half a minute later he came running back and slid into it like a baseball player. The crowd loved it. When the lights came up at the end of the show, and everybody was walking out of the Paramount Theater, you could tell that everyone was talking about Jaco. They could not believe what they had just seen and heard.

  3372. Just discovered your channel through a tweet by Brene Brown!
    3
  3373. Rick, never commented on your channel before, and rarely do i on any channel. But I just wanted to honor your courage and respect you showed as you highlighted your friend. I am personally grateful you shared. Chad...
    3
  3374. Amazing conversation. Rick has been on an absolute tear with a wide range of insanely good videos lately—all of them with such a good vibe that seems to bring out the personalities of his guests. I've loved John and Devin for years, and I've certainly admired Tosin's playing, but this interview showed a more relatable side of him than I've seen.
    3
  3375. Beatles if I fell. Listen to the vocal on that song and tell me it isn’t amazing.
    3
  3376. Rick, I’m going to apologize right now because if I see you at NAMM I’m going fanboy on you(and buy you a beer). You are saving music man. One viewer at a time. Thank you…
    3
  3377. Rick, you seem like the nicest guy. Having you as a meta-instructor on these youtube clips is a blessing
    3
  3378. The first video I watched was of you showing how to get Bohnam’s drum sound. You played a lot back then and different instruments. I knew you played guitar and played it great, but there’s times I’m still amazed at how you played something.
    3
  3379. You're goddamned treasures, both of you! The story about the Queen mum alone.
    3
  3380. Love the air drumming Rick. But I think you did a flam when the drummer didn't hit a flam. Its ok, we will forgive ya! Great Artist. You sent me this record and Jump Little Children a few years ago, Really great!
    3
  3381. As always a great video and honest tribute you can see the great impact people like Steve have had on you in everything you do. I am always blown away by how you constantly use your platform for good without trying to tear anyone down. The world always needs people like yourself who show patiently just how much work goes into being good at a craft!
    3
  3382. I don't think I have ever seen Sting relax and give a good interview like this before. That is a comment on the interviewer I suppose. It's been well over a year, but I'm going to buy that new album on Vinyl tomorrow.
    3
  3383. Good Job, Rick ..."The Hardest Working Man in Show Business"
    3
  3384. I normally don't comment however I am so grateful that I found your Channel❤❤❤
    3
  3385. 7 AM on a Saturday w/ a coffee, quiet office and this interview. LIFE IS GOOD!
    3
  3386. This is consistently one of the warmest, most thoughtful places on YT that I have found. So much that was communicated beneath the words, about the steadying influence that an older, kinder person with time (and patience) can offer to others looking for direction- whether they know it or not. Choked up a couple of times listening to this. All the best to you and yours in the New Year, Rick.
    3
  3387. I think you are just making a little mistake on the guitar on the last descending line, it's not G Gb E but it's cromatic Gb F E
    3
  3388. I watch you all the time. If this comment helps toward the algorithm, all the better. Like button has been punched as well.
    3
  3389. Truly a powerful video you made in the honor of Johnny. At first I was going to compliment you on your amazing guitar solo that I could listen to over and over. However, now, I'm at a loss for words as I type this for I too suffer deep depression, anxiety and now PTSD and I'm going through the hardest time in my life personally and I understand how it feels to be so talented, have done so much for people, loved by many but still, somehow have depression and it proves "It's NOT in our head and we should just "Get over it", etc" that the multitude do not understand it's bio-pysc-chemical. It broke my heart to listen to you reveal that he committed suicide as I understand why it's hard for you to talk about it and have never done a video before about your record label. What a heart breaking video and it happens so much and is growing as an epidemic. It is obvious the world lost a great person and a beacon of light of all of the people he helped with their careers. Heart wrenching. Thank you for your videos as I know this one must have been hard to make.

  3390. There’s exists an alternate timeline.. Rick Beato, track superstar...
    3
  3391. I'm of similar age to Rick, and it always surprises me the amount of detail he remembers about things that were 30+ years ago. I barely remember my jobs back then while Rick was busy teaching and writing books. Makes a man think about what he's done with his life.
    3
  3392. 1.99M! Come on Rick!! Early congratulations on 2M! You have taught and inspired me more than you will ever know!! Onwards to 3M!!!
    3
  3393. This is one of the best videos I have ever seen. Fantastic

  3394. Thank you for this video on Martha! She's often here in Berlin, you should stop on over! How lucky we are to be living at the same time as this brilliant artist and musician.

  3396. I love your facial expressions during the beginning. Was smiling from ear to ear. Thank you for having such an informative and passion-filled channe presented in an understandable mannerl. I always feel happy after watching your videos.
    3
  3397. Rick, I've been watching your content for awhile now, but this was the video that got me to subscribe. You do great work and I love your music appreciation content.
    3
  3398. hey Rick, what do you think about Ola Englund. he featured you in a Sunday with Ola. thats not a joke, by the way I totally agree with your opinion, that labels should let artists write their own songs, thats what destroyed i9.
    3
  3399. Love it man! Keep it going for the charity!

  3400. Sorry to hear it brother, that sucks!

  3403. Great video. Cool how your son was able to name and actually sing the pitches. We had a colleague in music school that could do write out tonal clusters. After seeing this ability many times, I realized that most adults including me would never be able to achieve this in a million years. For kids with the right exposure it's hard-wired, quite literally. I do think the same is true of true fluency and accuracy of both musical performance and spoken language. For Europeans, despite the endless whining of kids and adults alike, it's relatively easy to learn other European languages. However, crossing the bridge between tonal languages, such as Mandarin, with it's crazy articles and lack of verb tenses; and European ones is very difficult. I speak a little myself, but will never come anywhere near my kid who has a deep understanding and ability in both languages. In terms of writing, it's even more difficult. I've heard the same from friends with spouses of various Asian countries.

  3405. Just saw CNN did a article about you Rick! Congrats on all your success

  3406. That guitar solo you played, sweet lord.. 🔥

  3407. What I particularly savor about Ricks analysis, is when he goes WHEW.... you know your in for a good time. Kudos my friend, this was outstanding in every way!
    3
  3408. Her Partita in Cm is incredible. Bach would be proud. And no one would call her a Bach specialist. My favourite pianist.
    3
  3409. A brilliant interview by Rick, with a "compulsively productive", master musician, who literally reveres music. A master class in what it takes for any musician -regardless of genre- to achieve their best level of playing. I found it astonishing that Pat mentions that, in addition to starting fresh each day in terms of goals, that in order to really get deep into music you are playing, to know it well, you need to be able to play it in all 12 keys......And to top if off, Pat is articulate, modest, and humble. Thank you Rick for your work--- you are YouTube's most valuable asset.
    3
  3410. Rick, had you merely started interviewing, I would have been lost. But you prepped us for what we were about to see, so much so that I couldn't wait to hear the interview. Not only did you teach me about an important jazz musician, you helped me appreciate in depth what was actually happening and in context. You said your son has a photographic memory. He gets it from his dad. Your command of the material brings it to life. I'm so glad I clicked "Subscribe" to your channel a year ago.
    3
  3411. Welp, I now know where the wave crested as far as being accurately targeted by “the algorithm”. That was stunning Rick. After that, I reckon the hulu folk are having regrets about choosing the “wrong Rick” to interrogate McCartney.
    3
  3412. The lighting of your set is impeccable
    3
  3413. Man we’ve been waiting so long for this one! So great you can do this and not have it block. Chalk one up for education.
    3
  3414. I came in here expecting to hear, perhaps, a live version of Eruption... Maybe something by Yngwie... Imagine my delight at being able to hear (and see!) Oscar Peterson and his bandmates. Thank you Rick!
    3
  3415. This is one reason I keep comming back to this channel - it's totally about music! Not just a narrow glimpse of one type or style, but everything music. I totally appreciate the way everything on this channel is presented. It seems that here is a very knowledgeable person, excited and consumed by his subject, who wishes to inform, not impress. To me, that's impressive!
    3
  3416. At the very end, Gadd says "Maybe we can do more?" I didn't see Rick but I heard the saliva dripping on the floor. Yes Rick...please...do more.
    3
  3417. .... someone actually IMPROVED a Bach piece ?!? That sure does not happen everyday. Classical guitarist here btw. That dude is legitimally good. Amazingly steady tempo, too.
    3
  3418. So sad, I've loved his playing since I bought Footprints. A few years back I happened to get on a thread (beats me how) where Pat and some admirers were corresponding and his generosity, spirituality and humanity astounded me; he was replying to deep questions in a spare moment in some airport lounge during a stopover and by any other means and he replied to ANY question even if it sounded dumb. In fact he turned dumb questions into a work of art through selfless devotion. I sat breathlessly on the sideline as I was privy to this flow of energy and experience and didn't dare to write a word for fear of taking one second of time from this great human being. Now I regret not having spoken up and know that he would have understood as he seemed to understand anything. The words I really wanted to get out were "Pat, I love you always"
    3
  3419. It’s refreshing to see someone on YouTube as enthusiastic, inspiring and passionate about music but also about friendships formed around a common love for music, regardless of skill level or genre choice. You’re not only teaching people how to become better musicians but I think also by watching these videos it teaches people about how to just be a really good person, speaking to anyone with understanding and common decency, which is a rarity now especially via the internet. Love what you do Rick and being what you were to Peter and vice versa is a very special thing. What a lovely friendship. You’re a good man. Very glad my Dad introduced me to your channel.

  3420. The Dorian mode has got to be my favorite- so beautiful!

  3421. How often do you hear someone saying "whoo!" about renaissance music. Gotta love it.
    3
  3422. Greatest music education channel on Youtube, bar none. You deserve awards man, I mean that sincerely. Also love Jaco and everything he recorded.
    3
  3423. So who knew. Rick Beato is also an A1 storyteller. Different vibe. Enjoyed it.
    3
  3424. Hmmm.....I sat down for five minutes with a cup of coffee.....an hour and a half later that five minutes came to an end....a totally engrossing interview if ever there....
    3
  3425. Outstanding interview ! A groundbreaking subject that nobody ever addresses, and you interviewed the perfect consummate pro. A lot of people learned a lot of things about live sound today that they never even knew they needed to know.
    3
  3426. I think this might be my favorite thing on YouTube ever. Thank you Rick and Pat, for sharing this.
    3
  3427. What you are doing is just priceless Rick, of course because their humbleness but i noticed that for some reason all these intervies with Metheny, Schofield, Ford and all the other great musicians are heir best interviews, and feels like we listening a chat of very close friends, honest and sincere, more importantly we learn a lot of history and lessons. Thank you so much
    3
  3428. You could legitimately start a media company in a similar vain to something like Loudwire at this point. Consistently great interviews with great talent! Best Youtube channel I've come across in my ~15 years on the platform (god, I feel old now...)
    3
  3429. Rick, I ABSOLUTELY cannot thank you enough for this interview with one of my bonafide heroes. Lanois' work has spanned the avant-garde to the bedrocks of western popular music, and he is a genre unto himself.
    3
  3430. An overlooked aspect of Ricks channel, Rick is just a decent human being. It comes through on his videos.
    3
  3431. This is a GREAT song and very well produced.
    3
  3432. Just watched a NPR program that showed challenging your brain creates new neurons and new connections. Have you, as a right handed person, ever tried to play a left handed guitar? I tried to play my nephew's and found I was totally lost. I play piano some too and still was totally inept with playing a lefty guitar. I'm 57 and was born within a month of you. I totally think that our brains need exercise as much as your physical body needs exercise. Use It or lose it! It looks like you have no problem picking up a mandolin, but it's a challenge for me. Thanks for what you do! -Rob
    3
  3433. Rick, you’re so full of love. Love attracts love. It’s not even the fact that you have the best music channel in the world, but it’s because you ooze love. You have my love. Thank you for everything. Thank you.
    3
  3434. Man, Rick can play anything. I'm not a metal guy at all. #1 probably because I can't play it, but number #2 because it's not my thing. But Rick just gets out there and plays anything one can think of in any style. That's incredible! Much respect........
    3
  3435. That is me filming Frank for the Kiesel socials in that video! haha. So cool man <3 It was UNREAL watching him that close
    3
  3436. i stopped what i was doing ,,,, grabbed a few pints ,,, here we go!!!;-)!! Cheers!;-)!

  3437. I have learned more watching Mr Beato over the past six months than in all the music classes I had in school. You are doing a great service sir. Keep rockin'
    3
  3438. I vow to watch every Rick Beato short from here on out.
    3
  3439. This interview is gold. I loved every second of this, and Dave is hall of fame.
    3
  3440. I used to think I was fortunate to have stumbled onto this channel, but I'm now convinced it was inevitable. So many years, cheers, and tears because Rick's passion for music is contagious and anything but ostentatious.
    3
  3441. That’s an AMAZING interview 😃. Thank you so much!
    3
  3442. Rick, bless your heart for the wonderous comments about joni's gifts to all. You so lovely mentioned Blue, which I feel is the greatest record ever made. I'm pretty sure I wept a bit, for this was something I hoped to see someday. Bravo Rick. You homered. Thank you.

  3443. Rick and Adam are from different generations and the same generation simultaneously 😆

  3444. What an incredible interview. Rick is creating a lasting contribution that documents our musical culture and history, with the help of all these masters. When I see Keith listening to his own music, I try to imagine how differently he hears it than I do, with such deep comprehension. I also wonder how it must feel to have so fully realized one’s artistic vision over such a long period with such appreciative audiences. Really remarkable.

  3445. Sad to hear he's gone, always a fan, I was lucky to see him and Joe Diorio jam at GIT in 1978, one of a kind!
    3
  3446. 32:58 Bro, I prefer David Gilmour's playing over David Gilmour's playing
    3
  3447. Ricks LOVES music and sharing his passion and I love him for that (over and above his mastery)!
    3
  3448. Think I would like a 12 hour flight delay or something along with these two guys.
    3
  3449. Rick, your interviews are themselves great art. That someone so good a player and student as you, who has never lost being a fan, does an interview with the likes of an object of all our mutual fandom as Peter, it's like we're there with you (except the interview is so much more intelligent in musical terms than if we did it ourselves). We get to piggyback into the room or studio with you. Thank you for your contribution to music -- to our music appreciation, and for being a bridge to so many of us into the lives and music of so many of the greatest players.

  3450. I have the feeling Rick B is becoming the go-to interviewer for r n r musicians. These are The Best sessions on YT. Rick you have struck gold.

  3451. When this song first came out in the 1990's, I could not stop listening to it. NOW I know why!!! I have even more appreciation for Seal and this song. Thank you Rick! -Christine

  3452. he djent

  3453. News for you, Rick, is that even a sound recording noob (me) can enjoy and be humbled by your videos. This one was gold, esp with the snippet of the man himself, in between. A big shoutout to your friends/colleagues too.
    3
  3454. YT video gold!
    3
  3455. This chanel is like 90% of the reason I have a YouTube account.
    3
  3456. I am repeating what's already been said, but this is the best interview with a musician I have ever seen/heard...What a treat and what an inspiration! Thank you Rick and thank you Pat :)
    3
  3457. Most PERFECT interview. Great history of a major time; history of previous great players; great interview of a well spoken great guitarist; great info on his equipment.. Rick you are a great interviewer. You make the interviewee feel comfortable. You also know how to ask questions that gets them taking. Your interview videos are the gold standard. Teach an interview class.
    3
  3458. Would love to hear you talk to Wayne Coyne (Flaming Lips).
    3
  3459. Just had to comment on this one Rick. One of my favorite tunes ever and I was so excited to see you choose it. I used to play guitar and was never very good. Always loved bass though and this song in particular finally motivated me to start bass a few years ago and I just love it. John Paul Jones is definitely my biggest bass influence and this song, to me, is just driven by the bass, even though it's awesome all around. Thanks for your videos, love them all and learn from them too. I have your t-shirt and a couple other musicians I see at open mic (well when we used to be able to have them) commented on it and how much they love your channel too. Keep it going and damn the blockers!
    3
  3460. What a Mom, woow, that was a lot of money back then. John Denver was playing a 12 string also. I know Rick knows that.
    3
  3461. Your snare has a great sound. To me, personally, it seems to only lack a bit of that woody mid-range 'toonk' tone (for lack of a better description), that Alex gets. Either way, great job Rick!
    3
  3462. Seeing Joe again tomorrow night. Rick is an incredible interviewer. Let the guest speak and listen well. Perfect. Joe is a great guy.
    3
  3463. Rick, you're truly dedicated to music, you surprise me every once a while 🍀
    3
  3464. Best thing about The Internet - Everyone can post content Worst thing about The Internet - Everyone can post content
    3
  3465. I am a middle aged woman that loves rock n roll. I am not a musician but I subscribe to this channel and could watch all day. Thanks so much for what you do Mr Beato! Always loved this song, one of the first I remember hearing on the radio as a little girl and even then it made me gasp.
    3
  3466. The Bach stuff unbelievable, you’re right a genius 👨🏻‍🦳
    3
  3467. A YouTube video where the host says "polarity" when they mean polarity, and "phase" when they mean "phase" ... Take my money now!!
    3
  3468. Wow! This is the most interesting and fascinating interview I have ever heard. Thank you so much for this!
    3
  3469. I am not a musician and don't understand half of what Rick says. But he is so good at explaining and breaking things down that it all makes perfect sense somehow. I am mesmerized by his videos even though the majority of it is greek to me. A truly talented man who can make anyone appreciate music. ❤
    3
  3470. This is why you do this channel to record the history of a music movement that changed the world. 100 minutes was not long enough. Fabulous.
    3
  3471. One of the best interviews I've ever heard. Casual, informative and insightful. Thank you Rick!
    3
  3472. I don’t know how to properly say what I’m feeling. This is the first time in 50yrs that I’ve heard this song. I was just 5 when I heard this on the radio here in the UK, I kept asking my father what the song was on the radio but he didn’t know, I loved it. All these years later and today I have the answer, honestly I’m in tears, for 50 years man oh man, as soon as I heard the first couple of bars that was it. This must be one of the most beautiful songs ever written...thanks Rick, if there was another word that meant more that thank you I’d be using it..❤️👍
    3
  3473. I had forgotten what Rock n Roll sounded like. This is awesome! Got a little U-2 thing going.
    3
  3474. considering what the word "flex" means, I'd say it's an incredibly appropriate term. probably even better than "showing off"
    3
  3475. Nobody is better than Rick at explaining the theory and also getting the best from an interview. STEVE LUKATHER IS THE MAN!!!!
    3
  3476. Congrats Rick :D A far cry from showing up to Abbey Road "like a drowned rat" in '94! Absolutely loved the London show last week - thank you. What a pleasure to see you up close and personal. Shout out to my new buddies on the front row, Vinnie & Max. Hope you and the family enjoyed yourselves here in the UK. Come back soon. Cheers! D :D
    3
  3477. Ok really Rick Beato, I'm sitting here,#1 came by so fast, and out of nowhere, you pull out River!!?? My all time favorite Christmas song. My wife turned me on 16 yrs ago and I bust down still every time I hear it. Thanks man, Merry Christmas!! Cant wait for NYE
    3
  3478. Greek I’ve actually learned a lot about guitar watching Rick and I’m a drummer! 😂
    3
  3479. This interview will be valued in the future because it gets at the absolute heart of Metheny's creative period and process. Beato has the musical knowledge and passion to connect with Metheny on his musical level, which few can or could do. Bravo Rick!
    3
  3480. These interviews should be in The Smithsonian.
    3
  3481. Beato, Satriani, Vai.......italian-american musical excellence
    3
  3482. Hi Rick, I used to think you were a bit of an arrogant tool to be honest, but that was long ago, since I have gotten to know you and watched many dozens of your videos, I think you are a top class content creator. Sometimes I will put your videos on where you compare an analyse songs in the background, the great thing about them is you don't really need to see the visuals. But ya, I appreciate the pop music and the awesome insights you always have. I'm sorry for thinking you where a tool before, now I recommend you to all people I can who would find it interesting.
    3
  3483. I saw Pat Methany at that same show in Ithaca at the Strand in 1981. I lived right above Simeon's on the top floor overlooking the Commons. Such an epic concert. What an amazing time in our lives!
    3
  3484. rick: the audio recording of the drums is great!
    3
  3485. Rick I've heard lots of great and I mean great guitar playing in my life time listening but this piece you play in the end of "Cardinal Motion" man sounds beautiful I haven't heard a sound like that in years. you Rock Brother.
    3
  3486. Just more unbridled joy and as always some concepts to take and apply to my own music - thank you again Rick and I will certainly buy a Beato book to help fund you getting over to do a face to face with the great man one day
    3
  3487. Rick, I’m so very sorry for your loss. I too, suffer from MS and honestly, if it wasn’t for music and trying to play guitar, this crazy disease would drive me crazy. Thank you for sharing your story about your Aunt Penny.
    3
  3488. Rick, what an insightful and entertaining interview w Billy. Fantastic! On a side note and ironically, I took my 14 year old daughter to see you do your live show in LA and the Smashing Pumpkins in Santa Barbara this. Once again proving music transcends generations!
    3
  3489. So fun seeing Ward talk about music considering I usually get my current carrier group news from him.. 😂😂❤
    3
  3490. A very moving visit Rick, my goodness, I watched the interview beginning to end... will watch again. So much to learn, so much respect for Daniel and his work throughout his career. Thank you to you both.
    3
  3491. Should've done a Top 19 or 21, just to keep on theme!
    3
  3492. Rick, Somehow your channel found it's way to my feed 2 days ago, and I've watched 6 of your other videos before this one. My son is a musician and music enthusiast, whose passion for it, I'd like to say came from me. Even before this video, I was hoping to share your channel with him, but now it will be a priority because I want him to know how music can bring people together and build lasting friendships across generations, ethnicities and genders. I'm sorry for the loss of your friend, Peter. May you and his family take comfort when you hear certain music that remind you of his life well lived. 🙏❤️
    3
  3493. As both guitarist and electrician, I can say that voltage can be altered at the transformer itself. It can also vary from building to building, so your 123 voltage may or may not be more of an "in your area" occurrence as much as a your particular building's wiring and equipment/setup aspect. As far as owning some of those amps you own, you'd probably do better at continuing to just be Rick Beato and not trade it for electrician's pay. You might be forced to settle for a slightly more budget-friendly amp option, lol. All the same, they sound amazing, so.... I'd think you're doing something right. ;) PS. My birthday is this December. If you're tired of that one Royer mic you sometimes use, I'd do the right thing and take it off your hands, lol. Just putting it out there.
    3
  3494. Can understand barely 10% of what he says but I'm captivated anyway 🤣
    3
  3495. This is my favorite Rick Beato video.
    3
  3496. Rick dropped the mike after the David Gilmour interview but Mr. Baxter caught it and ran with it. We are not worthy!
    3
  3497. I saw the notification and thought to myself "oh this is gonna be good one". Silly me, this is absolutely amazing!
    3
  3498. I never imagined I'd ever get the opportunity to hear an interview like this. Amazing! And, it would not be possible, lets be honest, without someone as gifted musician-wise and relatable, as Rick Beato. It's just soooo cool as a lover of music to get to take part in something like this - even as a passive listener. Thank you.
    3
  3499. I HAVE BEEN DREAMING OF THIS MOMENT SINCE THE DAY I FIRST STARTED WATCHING RICK 5 YEARS AGO!!!
    3
  3500. Rick i feel is the ONLY interviewer who's appropriate for someone like Baxter, as well as many other of the greats he's hosted, because he sits back and LISTENS to his guest, and allows THEM to tell their own stories, rather than grand-standing like a super "know-it-all" who's constantly interjecting his own voice into the mix.
    3
  3501. Man, this channel is wonderful. Where else can you learn and appreciate Sting, Beethoven, Karnivool, Van Halen, Joe Pass, Keith Jarrett etc, all in ONE place. When people speak of how technology and the internet is changing the world in a positive, this is a prime example. Simply a treasure. I know what I'm listening to later...
    3
  3502. Hey Rick, you got a mention on 680 The Fan (Atlanta sports radio, if you don’t know) this afternoon. Host Chris Demino complemented your videos and said they should have you in to play name that tune ever month.
    3
  3503. Rick, you've got such an earthy, casual rapport with the camera (and us). Translation: effective, watchable content. Offering in-depth explanations and sophisticated analysis while still connecting with beginners, students, hobbyists, professionals, is a great accomplishment. Formal music education via theory, history, and genre shows that the serious aspects of the art doesn't have to exclude anyone. Learning to listen carefully and develop a discerning ear, hearing great artists, breaking down exceptional compositions... it couldn't be any less inspirational and fun! Thx a million.
    3
  3504. Let's spam Rick that he never mentions Ritchie Blackmore 😂
    3
  3505. Was in Chicago for the show. I was entertained. Thank you for all you do. You handled the crowd questions so well and I loved the Beatles breakdown there. I half expected to see a white board. Great job on this video too..
    3
  3506. I just listened to that entire EP. That is amazing. I cannot believe record labels passed him up back then. Thank you for introducing me to that artist. The production on that is phenomenal.
    3
  3507. Birthdays, Valentine's day, Thanksgiving, anniversaries aren't of much importance to me. Why wait for a particular day to show gratitude, express love or remember someone? Any day I feel moved by my feelings for someone or anytime I feel grateful to have the amazing people in my life that I do I let them know. For no reason other than being moved by what you feel and reaching out to someone and to tell them "I love you", "I'm glad you're my friend" or "I can't believe I know someone as wonderful as you" is more meaningful and real than any card, bouquet or box of candy can ever be. Rick's mind is full of knowledge about music theory and the music business, his soul is suffused with the emotional energy of music. Today we were fortunate to have him share those emotions. Thank you Rick for telling us about your friendship with Johnny Diamond. We are all honored that you shared this with us.
    3
  3508. 4th U2 album is Unforgettable Fire, their absolute best!
    3
  3509. Wallace Reed Music, Web4, Ed Seay, Studio 1, Ricky Keller, Doppler, Rick Richards, DB, Mike Clark, Soundscape, and Phil Ehart all within the first 30 minutes?! Dang, it’s like walking through the history of ATL music! I’ve heard quite a few stories about the young Brendan from OG ATL studio musicians like Bill Hatcher & others. So, this has already been an amazing interview and I’m only 44 minutes into it!
    3
  3510. This is the first video of yours I've seen...and I'm sold! There are very few channels I faithfully watch...because depending on the day, the mood I'm in, the topic, etc., I'll either watch - or maybe I won't! I haven't checked out your channel yet, but will head over there and see what catches my attention. You just seem so honest and forthright...so refreshing compared to the majority of channels. Cheers!
    3
  3511. Superb guitarist, and I've heard a few. Thank you Rick, sent this feller's links on to a few folk.
    3
  3512. Fantastic! Just got my ticket. My advice is get them soon because it’s definitely selling fast
    3
  3513. Tupac and Kurt were the voice of their generation. I think Kendrick Lamar and Billie Eilish are this generations Tupac and Kurt. NOT from a talent or impact standpoint. I don't think any musician going forward will ever have a bigger impact on world culture in the way Tupac and Kurt did, but from the stand point of speaking to a generation of disaffected youth, all four of those artists are in the same room.
    3
  3514. Another eye opener from Rick!!! I am so grateful that Rick does these amazing interviews with these living legends. So fascinating to dive into Dave's world. There are so many things I would have loved to hear about his experiences with other artists, but was so cool to hear him talking about his experiences with Jeff and Eddie. What a career.
    3
  3515. Sounds like you have all your basses covered.
    3
  3516. excuse me, is that a Rick Beato sig model Gibson?!!?
    3
  3517. Thank you Skunk and thank you Rick for a very enjoyable hour and twenty three minutes of learning how truly great music was created.
    3
  3518. Great list! Only one missing, in my opinion, is "Unsung" by Helmet. That was so different when it first came out.
    3
  3519. Gold! What a great song!
    3
  3520. Rick, thanks for letting him talk. You are a good interviewer.
    3
  3521. I just want to add Rick. You ask all the right questions. And you get all the right answers! It's such a pleasure, I'm supposed to be practicing, but I am so in to this conversation.
    3
  3522. Rick, this is one of the most absorbing interviews I’ve ever viewed. I think the clear reason is that you are not only a superb listener; you are listening to the guest as a practitioner who never stops listening. Hearing Summers’ remarks on the “colors” he added via pedals somehow surgically removed an irrational guilt I’ve been carrying over my attraction to pedals: a latent bias formed by a misplaced orthodoxy around the alleged superiority of playing straight to amp. Summers clearly respected everything about you and your authenticity as a fellow practitioner….and as a result he offered up countless nuggets like this. The whole interview is a joy and an education to take in. (Your lead-in to “Message in a Bottle” and Summers’ remarks around Bartók are particularly valuable.) Thank you for continuing to bring the best in modern music content to so many of us through your channel.
    3
  3523. Rick, what a wonderful interview with Skunk! The stories were amazing. You are a true Master Interviewer!
    3
  3524. In the age of ticktock and soundbites , this format has renewed my faith that humans actually want to share deeply . Watching this on a Sunday morning and not for a second did I feel I was wasting my life away lol Inthralled for 3 hrs . I think what Rick is creating with these interviews will turn out to be important documentation ,after we've all moved on to the Great Studio in the sky . and ya its time for me to ante up and become a member ;)
    3
  3525. Hey Rick, I first discovered you about six months ago, maybe more. I can't remember the first video I viewed, but I subscribed right away. Over these past months, I watch new videos as you upload them as well as older videos that I need to catch up on, and every time... every single time I say to myself, "Why the fuck is he making YouTube videos?" I've questioned my judgment many times while watching your videos. I've questioned why I'm following someone who seems to be profoundly knowledgable and talented yet just a YouTuber. After watching this video, all my questions have been answered. Now it makes total sense. I haven't been conned. I've been right all along. You are very talented and immensely knowledgable. I just didn't see the logic behind someone as brilliant as you being a YouTuber. I'm very grateful that you are because you're one of my main go-to's for information. I'm sure many others have said this, but you should pick up from where you left off with your record label. I'm really sorry to hear of your loss. It was June 10th the following year that I endured the most heartbreaking suicide I'd ever been through of a 14 year old friend.
    3
  3526. Yup, that's why we have Rick. "Hey I got this theory kinda question... what's this chord?" --> Rick you wanna take this one? Rick: "Put my beer in the fridge, this is gonna be a while."
    3
  3527. Physical media is the future
    3
  3528. Give a moment while I pick up my melted-off face from the floor.
    3
  3529. Rick Wakeman and David Gilmour back to back, congratulations Rick!
    3
  3530. that chop up at 2 mins is a sweet sweet statement. Many will do something subtle, or subtle-ish like here, but call attention to it just to be sure people got it. You didn't. Thank you.
    3
  3531. Great Hypes! Love it. “The most music from the least…chords”
    3
  3532. This is why I subscribe to your channel Rick! Not just for all the musical knowledge and the great stories, but because of your genuine personality! When I watch your video's I know there's several hundreds of thousands of other people watching as well, yet you make me feel like you're speaking directly to me. Thank you for all that you do my friend and I am greatly sorry for your loss and the loss of the Smart family. ♥
    3
  3533. Rick, can´t tell you how I enjoy your artist interviews, specially Peter Frampton and Eric Johnson, so many insight. Would love to see a Gary Clark Jr interview, so much from that guy to be heard and only you know how to ask the questions.
    3
  3534. Rick, dad gummit, you need to be on Prime Time TV with these interviews and excursions into music. These interviews are simply fantastic. I love these interviews and conversations.
    3
  3535. I love this type of a-musician-interviewing-a-musician interviews!
    3
  3536. This interview is next level. Reminds me of rerun clips of the Dick Cavett show, and what I mean by that is that the actual conversations are so intimate, so wide-ranging, so in-depth. Also, the mood lighting and interviewing space is fantastic, if I didn't know this was Rick Beato's Youtube channel I'd think it was some multi-million dollar budget Apple special series examining different artists. Keep doing what you're doing, it's unparalleled in its scope and execution.
    3
  3537. Hi from Switzerland. I'm a music teacher and I'm discovering your channel right now. I wanted to thank you for this particular video because I really struggle to explain that to my students in a way that they don't feel like it's magic. So thanks, and congrats on your excellent content.
    3
  3538. Honestly, this was one of the most enlightening interviews I've ever seen. Absolutely loved every second of it. Probably took me 3 hours to get through 😂 Because I kept winding back and repeating parts, but I LOVED every single second of it!
    3
  3539. Thank you Beato Club ! This just a treasure found
    3
  3540. Crazy...Just TODAY I remembered "Possession" by Sarah McLachlan, and downloaded it onto my iTunes...such an awesome song!
    3
  3541. Rick, I finally had an opportunity to watch this -- having no idea what its subject would be. I'm very sorry for your loss. Your "My Biggest Musical Influence," about Aunt Penny, is one of my favorites among all your videos. Thank you for allowing us to meet your extraordinary aunt.
    3
  3542. "Totally replaceable" - very true! I was laughing out loud. / The whole story is ridiculous. I’m not a lawyer (just a composer who loves your work) - but if I can help you with anything, count on me.
    3
  3543. What a lovely lady! RIP Aunt Penny. Rick, the good news is that Aunt Penny and the rest of your family have created a legacy that will live on through you, the students of your youtube channel, your kids and most likely, your grandkids, too. A life, well lived.
    3
  3544. Ward Carroll has a great channel. I've been a subb for a while now.
    3
  3545. Good catch! lol poor Rick is running a tight schedule but always delivers.
    3
  3546. Rick, I think you need to drop this ethos of not plating along with any artist 🙂 You are an amazing player and we ALL want to hear more of you, especially with other artists. Music is all about connection and collaboration, and your talent deserves to shine alongside others too. I know so many of us would love to hear more of you in different creative pairings. Just something to consider...
    3
  3547. Appreciate you sharing this.. I too lost a hero of music... my son.. around the same time.. I sympathize for & with you & thank you
    3
  3548. Yeah, you can't satisfy everyone, definitely. The only way you might could do it is to satisfy yourself, but even with that, five minutes after you make the video, you're probably second-guessing yourself. In the end, it makes for a cool video for us to enjoy, and for some to debate, and there is the value.
    3
  3549. I just gotta say props Rick, most interviewers would’ve tried to shape and direct the conversation, but you let him just ramble on and share some wonderful stories that are probably not recorded anywhere. His family and avid fans are surely very grateful for you capturing this!
    3
  3550. Awesome comment!!! Yes!!!
    3
  3551. I love the way you conduct your interviews. You ask questions that you are personally interested in and you tremendously enjoy in conversations. It's like two old friends chatting.
    3
  3552. What a phenomenal interview, I will watch it again and again. I could tell how comfortable Tori felt with you, and I loved hearing all of her stories. You were such a respectful and kind interviewer, you allowed her space to shine, breathe and be. Bless you for sharing this with us. I was 15 when Little Earthquakes came out, and it changed my world.
    3
  3553. Odd thing about the good ol' USofA. The land of FORGOTTEN musical superstars. Now we he have reaction videos filling the net. A few lucky ones are learning their current "sampled" song favorites aren't what they thought, but those superstar grooves they're digging came from the 70's/80's. It's great to watch as enlightenment arrives in their world. Now, if only we could find that time machine........ Great vids Rick. Keep 'em comin. Noodling. The forgotten "art" The place where MAGIC is found.
    3
  3554. Thank you for that...I spent a beautiful 2 hours, I felt like I was there listening off camera in one of those old aluminum lawn chairs with a broken plastic arm rest, hanging on every word
    3
  3555. Rick, you really are a remarkably talented guy. I’m not even a guitar player, but I watched this whole video. I usually find that I learn more from videos, but especially yours because you convey your knowledge with such enthusiasm. If I ever learn how to play the guitar it’s because of Rick Beato. Keep up the great work, brother!
    3
  3556. A room full of giants sharing licks, laughs and wisdom. Pure gold. Thank you all for the music. If Don had walked in at the end to shake all your hands I would not have been all that surprised.
    3
  3557. Absolutely epic. Great choice. Wonderful to introduce people to how rad Frampton still is. Especially with other stars blocking music it's badass to highlight a hero who is down to earth and real as sh*t.
    3
  3558. This is the best channel on You Tube. Watching one of your shows is equivalent to six months of music courses. I learn a lot from this. You are truly an inspiring guy. Now I got to go and plug in my guitar. Cheers.
    3
  3559. Hey, Rick, I learn a lot from your videos, but perhaps more importantly I really benefit from your positive energy. You make the world a better place. Thank you!
    3
  3560. Small donation Rick £-$, from then other side of the pond ~ Robust health Sir, incredible 👍
    3
  3561. I have been lurking but deeply enjoying. This was a great session! Thank you
    3
  3562. "Anything you're excited about, I want to hear about." What a way to end a great interview.
    3
  3563. So cool to see you guys get right down to the nuts and bolts. The vast majority of interviewers never get anywhere close to this level of specific detail. But Rick knows enough of his audience gets it, and Satch knows Rick gets it, so the info gets dispensed left and right. At the same time, they never sound like they're trying to talk above your head. Great episode.

  3564. I hope Stewart reads these comments, because I just want to say what a complete gentleman he is regarding the talents of Sting, because legit from the moment I heard walking on the moon (I'm 64) I had NEVER heard a band so amazing, to which such a large proportion of their impact was due to the drumming. In those days every track was Stewart reinventing drumming again.

  3565. Just gets better ,,Rick! Coffees on! Here we go! Cheers!;-)!

  3566. Such a great interview and I gotta say, I have to apologize to JB for jumping on the negative , dog pile wagon. I was clearly just ignorant and thank you, Rick, for doing this to make me see the errors in my ways. Joe's a gem and it would be a privilege to meet him. His playing was never in question but hearing the humanity side, again, thank you.
    3
  3567. I remember watching early Beato vids that he filmed with his iPhone. Good LORD look where we are now. Unbelievable. ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
    3
  3568. well, work just took a backseat for the next hour.
    3
  3569. This was the interview I never knew I needed. More behind the scenes please and thank you Rick!!
    3
  3570. Rick, I just met your Aunt Penny today. She will be missed now by many of us. I am sorry for your, and your families loss, thank you sir for taking the time and sharing the love with us.
    3
  3571. Rick you're a master interviewer. I thought your interview of Sting was your pinnacle, but I must say your interview of Tori is a masterpiece. You drew out so much insight into Tori's soul. Bravo!
    3
  3572. As a studio engineer, I never much liked a snare sound that had a pitch to it. I found that a snare "note" never sounded that great in a mix, so I alway went for more snap. I want a high end that stands out and a lower end that provides punch. Then reverb to keep the snare in the acoustic space of the room. Lots of different approaches though! Beato's approach to explaining how it all works is very informative, as usual!
    3
  3573. Rick, what differentiates you form any other social media music instructor or personality is that you often demonstrate you are also a human being with a big heart. i'm reading through the comments I can see at the top and I'm realizing others have expressed similar thoughts. That's your mark, Rick, you are a kind human being and it shows. The world is extremely fortunate to have you share your knowledge and experiences. I am very sorry for your loss.

  3574. Rick Beato started producing in 1999... Rick Beato is the Y2K curse!! Confirmed! :P
    3
  3575. Well damn. That is the best interview I have ever heard. It’s like a non stop action movie.
    3
  3576. Hey Rick how's it going Art Patten here, good friend of Doug Wyatt who has the synth Museum over in Gatlinburg Tennessee. I'd like to buy the beato book what kind of a deal do you have for this Christmas? Real quick ; I would draw your attention to one of the most overlooked Christmas songs of all time ,Ring out Solstice Bells by Jethro Tull, from 1976 check it out my friend 7/4 timing Rick!

  3577. Trevor Knowone THIS.

  3578. This episode was one of the greatest ever. Sorry to get here so late, haven't had the time lately. I love Jazz. Please don;t ever stop featuring Jazz videos on you channel. Miles is the master.
    3
  3579. i'm proud to be a subscriber of your channel, rick. your videos are second to none. its like im part of countless incredible hangs!
    3
  3580. Rick I have been watching your videos for almost 8 years now. I remember back when you used to do more videos about unusual modes and other advanced theory topics. But you also had (and still have) more personal videos about not giving up and what it means to choose music. There is literally everything about music on this channel from renaissance lute music to analysis of tool songs to chance meetings of big name musicians. I’m not fascinated by all of it admittedly, but your videos have taught me that an important part of being a musician is to keep an open mind and never stop learning. Hell I even talk about your videos at the dinner table with my parents (fwiw my mom is envious that that breathed the same air as Joni Mitchell, you and my mom are the same age lol)
    3
  3581. Simply amazing, This is a must watch. The longer interview went by in a breeze, (I could listen to this forever )this was one of the best interviews I have ever had the pleasure of listening to. Thank you so much for the amazing content. Make sure you guys subscribe to the channel!
    3
  3582. Could she BE any more down to earth?
    3
  3583. This is soo awesome. I've been subbed to both of you a while... aviation geek and hobbyist guitar player here !
    3
  3584. This is probably my favorite musical series on Youtube. It's so enlightening and inspiring to see Rick reacting so naturally to these songs as he explains the musical components. Your passion is absolutely palpable, Rick, and I can't thank you enough for putting these videos out so frequently!
    3
  3585. Wow!!! Four of my favorite musicians in one room hanging out!!!! Well played, Rick, well played 👏 👍 I've followed the careers of all these guys so closely for a decade, I feel like I'm watching family 👪 😀
    3
  3586. Rick, super congratulations on hitting 1.5 million subscribers! Well deserved!
    3
  3587. Love the new chords notation, nice hand written vibes. I love how this channel keeps improving over time
    3
  3588. This interview is amazing! I love how "slowly but surely" Brad speaks. It feels like he has a great connection between his inner and outer language processing.
    3
  3589. Rick is just like a kid in acandy store. In all his interviews and not taking anything from his guess, Rick is the one having more fun. Keep it up compadre and thank you again for all the music. Just warms your heart. and besides he is also an accomplished air guitar/drummer/bass/ player etc like all of us. He is one of us people... LOVE IT
    3
  3590. I just watched you opening your one million subscriber thing from youtube, and it made me want to go back and listen to one of your earliest what makes this song great videos, and I picked this one even though I had watched it before, but I enjoyed it again, great musicianship on this song. congratulations on your 1.000.000. subs
    3
  3591. Love the signature guitar, Rick! I had a DC special that I sold and regret to this day. When are they going to be in stores? And will there be an Epiphone version so mere mortals like me can afford one?
    3
  3592. Great sounds!!!
    3
  3593. Rick, Thank you for surprising us with this wonderful interview. I really appreciate how you can make these amazing musicians feel at ease enough where they are just them selves which gives us an opportunity to see the human and vulnerable side to them and yet at the same time they have emence mana that exudes from them. Such a pleasure to learn about what makes Hans….Hans yet there still more questions….. Thank you
    3
  3594. One of the best interviewers on any platform. Let’s not qualify this.
    3
  3595. Hey mate! Been watching for over 1 1/2 years!! My uncle, THE Tommy Emmanuel CGP. Would love to see you get him involved in some rock playing. Like his Late Brother (my other Uncle) Phil Emmanuel when he played Nessum Dorma etc and even played the Last Post on the guitar. You'd have to see it to believe it. There is a video floating around of uncle Phil playing it. look forward to your response!! Tommy Emmanuel (Nephew)

  3596. awesome interview with an awesome musician! thank u both for sharing ur knowledge & documenting our musical history, because it is so very important that this gift, this expression, passion, & this knowledge is not lost to future generations! thank u & god bless ya dude
    3
  3597. Rick just drops this interview on us like it’s just another day in a life. 😅
    3
  3598. Rick always liked your channel, liked your analysis, liked you take on stuff. After this, I've got to say, I love how you think. I can see why you have so many subscribers: it's who you are as a person.
    3
  3599. It's a combination of your knowledge, homework and letting the guests talk that makes you such a great interviewer. Thank you for all that you do.
    3
  3600. This was THE definitive interview, by a qualified interviewer ..I would have never understood the language of this interview if it was not for Ricks teaching me through his channel. i felt as if i grew up as a musician just by listening to a master speak about high information music... fused with the purpose of a quarter note.
    3
  3601. Amazing. Great rapport between you two. What a character! I’ve not seen much video of Andy, so this is really a much needed exposure. Love how you bring out these great players and their stories, keep it up, Rick!
    3
  3602. I don’t even know who he is, but the interview has you fade into the background and make me interested in what he’s saying. I think more journalists should see this as a goal.
    3
  3603. Rick, in my humble opinion, your insatiable (& knowledgeable) curiosity, along with staccato and incisive questions (then Not needlessly interrupting..) is what makes your interviews absolutely stellar... Others have said it numerous times.,but i suspect the benchmarks you're setting for musical interviews shall be studied for generations, as well as the interviews themselves... "Historical Works" assembled by a master... Thank you for being you..🎉❤️🙏🏼
    3
  3604. Love me some Pat Martino. I have to say Rick, what a great influence you are having on my 14 year old Son and I. We just love you and your passion for music. You are a breath of fresh air, so childlike and excitable about great music. We could see the sadness on your face when you mentioned your friend Emily and when she started talking. Thank you for being such a wonderful human being. We really appreciate you.
    3
  3605. It’s been clear since I first started watching this channel that Rick pays attention to details. He can’t tune out the details, so controlling the flow of the space eliminates distracting details. It makes perfect sense.
    3
  3606. I saw this interview when it first came out and was very impressed at the quality of the questions Rick asked Sting. I could tell Sting was also impressed with Rick's deep connection with the music, and Stings thoughtful answers were so much more interesting than I have ever experienced from a tube video. I have since watched this video several times, I believe Rick Beato is the best interviewer ever and informs, educates, and entertains on a regular basis, and has become the best thing to watch on tube!
    3
  3607. This is without a doubt, one of THE most fantastic thing on Youtube!
    3
  3608. The thing I hate about Rick Beato?... everything he does (that I've seen) is sooo good, smart, and engaging that I want to watch every single episode, and I just don't have that kind of time. Just so good.
    3
  3609. When a talent like yours, Rick, is to be brought to light, fate always sends people to assist you. Your authentic enthusiasm for music is inspiring and absolutely contagious... ...🤗...
    3
  3610. Rick - I agree, production was the reason this song found air play and success.
    3
  3611. Man, Rick, I usually look to your videos for info, advice, knowledge, etc. I gotta admit, this video about your friend Pete, made me cry. Your a good dude Rick. Hope I can have the pleasure of knowing you someday. Just like your friend, Pete. Cheers, Sean Black
    3
  3612. You know if they are friends of Rick, they will have a great sense of humor and be engaging, even as accountants! Well done!
    3
  3613. there is a common denominator with EVERY musician at the end of each RICK BEATO interview: all the musicians LIKE TO DO IT AGAIN !!!!!!!!!!!!
    3
  3614. The brilliance of this video content is one of a kind. It makes up for all the junk that millions of others post. Ty Rick
    3
  3615. Rick- I'm not a musician, just a music enthusiast like most, BUT: You do a fantastic job on your channel. You ARE a "Journalist" of the Music Scene....I've learned so much; you've had some real gold nuggets....and this particular vlog with Nuno is proof. Again. Just as musicians have to "know"- intrinsically "feel" a section of music- the phrasing, GREAT interviewers need to know when to STFU. And you are a great, respectful HOST/interviewer....because THREE point FIVE MILLION subs can't be wrong.
    3
  3616. Any part of the entertainment business is loaded with terrible people and practices. You Rick are the exception.
    3
  3617. Don't care about that Spotify list, Rick's guitar tone is INSANE!
    3
  3618. Rick, you did an interview that journalists can not. Congrats.
    3
  3619. With all my respect to you sir I adore you and I love the way you get with music that's the way I get to N2 my favorite artists are Depeche Mode and Tori Amos and thank you so much for sharing this with everybody and with me
    3
  3620. Thank you Rick for sharing with us the love that your mother had for you. I’ve never seen a bad video from you.
    3
  3621. i’ve never watched a youtube video over an hour in length all the way through until now. this is the single best interview i’ve ever watched
    3
  3622. Not endorsed by Adidas but I wear a 12
    3
  3623. Rick, you reached the unreachable!!! Congratulations
    3
  3624. Wow Rick. That was a great breakdown. I could really feel the respect you have the music.
    3
  3625. This series of interviews is already becoming one of the most important musical archives in existence. Rick has a lot to be seriously proud of.
    3
  3626. Ok. Rick! Once again, AMAZING interview! I watch EVERY video you post. But I study when you release an interview. You are, by far, the best! I recently watched a couple of artists that I really love, and appreciate, being interviewed by another channel, and they couldn’t get a word in edgewise. This interviewer KEPT interrupting, and continued talking. It was INFURIATING watching, having watched your interviews. You are genuinely interested in what the interviewee has to say, and you NEVER interrupt! I knew I enjoyed yours, but earlier today, I realized JUST how good you are. I will watch EVERY interview you release, and appreciate you for being you. You really seem to want to learn what they have to say. You aren’t concerned for your input. That means everything! Thank you, Rick Beato!
    3
  3627. The success of this channel is testament to brilliant interviews like this. Rick, I I always loved the song "Sailing", but now I love it even more. You bring out the best in everyone you interview. Bravo!
    3
  3628. This is one of the most informative musical interviews I have ever seen. What great insight on songwriting, arrangement, composition. Jimmy clearly is smart to a lethal degree.
    3
  3629. Hi, Rick—fellow IC alumnus here (1974-78; 1980-81) and I taught theory there for a fill-in year (1985-86) after finishing my D.M.A. at Cornell with Karel Husa and Steven Stucky—and I wanted to say Hi! and thank you for your many wonderful videos. In fall 1974 Steve Brown graciously had the IC Jazz Ensemble read through a couple of my charts written during high school, one of which I hadn’t heard before. Big thrill for me as a young writer and Steve didn’t have to have taken the rehearsal time for me, but did. Other than music he and I both liked Chinese food, and Ithaca had several very decent Chinese restaurants (by upstate standards). All the best—Don Campfield
    3
  3630. What you do is SO important! Thank you for this channel and for all that you do. Was led to this from the Pat Metheny interview. After this one I literally teared up slightly. No one is doing what you're doing. Your interviewing skills are impeccable! Don't believe me? Well Mr. Carter thinks so too, lol! Keep winning! I'll keep watching ! Peace
    3
  3631. they have designed it round a musician and I will say someone who is now more famous and doing more for music from top to bottom than anyone on the tube, good on ya Rick, you deserve it.
    3
  3632. This is only the 2nd time I've cried from watching you Rick.. The first being when you announced the passing of Eddie Vanhalen.. My heart goes out to you brother and Peter's family ❤️
    3
  3633. The momentum of this channel is reaching critical mass.
    3
  3634. Now I'm gonna re-listen focusing on Larry Mulllen's drums
    3
  3635. Individually, Tim and Rick are always interesting. Both together? The pleasure is multiplied by ten, even more.
    3
  3636. Yo Rick! You have retaught me how I listen/react to music. I lost the overtly exited aspect of it. Like now I constantly air drum and bang on tables, like I did when I was younger when there was music being played. I do it at work and I’m pretty sure my boss sees me in the cameras, freaking out to the funk jam that I put on. It’s also helped my timing out tremendously Rick. Thanks man
    3
  3637. Getting Layla's uncorrupted, earnest description of this was my favorite part! Hope all is well with you, Rick! Sorry I missed you at NAMM. Cheers.
    3
  3638. Wait... is Rick using a different guitar for every tuning? 13:52 ...oh ok yep Also love that he's playing a Charvel for Gojira :')
    3
  3639. OMFG!! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU PUT CURVE IN THERE 😍😍😍 If you've never heard Doppleganger you really should. It's incredible!!!
    3
  3640. These chats, rather than interviews, are rare sparkling gems.
    3
  3641. That’s the longest video I’ve watched on YouTube ever.
    3
  3642. Thank you for that. My son (7) also struggles with reading comprehension and we also find other ways to keep him engaged. My wife and I both played instruments throughout school (with no professional intentions) and we encourage (not force) that with our kids. Our older daughter enjoys clarinet and guitar and our son gravitated to drums so he gets lessons and has a kit at home. Sometimes he'll ask us to show him some piano if one of us is on it. All of that to say "yes" to everything you said. "If you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, then it will live its entire life believing it is stupid." Rock on, Rick!
    3
  3643. I'm a lifetime musician, 79 now, a one-time classical composer (think Berio, Stockhausen at al.) and rock band leader (you never heard of us), and have been gobsmacked over Beethoven since I was a child. Once in a while I like to do cycles: all the piano sonatas, all the string quartets, and by coincidence I happen to be doing all the symphonies right now — always with the scores, a habit I got into when I was about 12 years old. (My father was a conductor.) My personal favorite of the Beethoven piano sonatas is Op. 111, but I also played the first movement (only) of the Op. 110 so know it particularly well. I guess I don't really have a point. I just wanted to thank you for continuing to bring good and great music to the attention of your audience, which is undoubtedly mostly much younger. Every time I comment on this channel, I urge you to do a show on Madison Cunningham, in my estimation currently the best songwriter/guitarist/singer under the age of 70.
    3
  3644. Hey Rick, No joke, you are the real deal. You KNOW what you're talking about and yet, you lay back when you interview someone and allow them to speak - what a novel idea . . . I probably bail on half the interviews l want to watch because the interviewers drive me insane. Not so, here. Great job, great interview.
    3
  3645. The Dave Natale Interview was mesmerizing and as a FM radio Programmer and Announcer for the past 50 years...Dave and You both made sense and yes, Analog does make more sense. I did a show after FMRadio and my job of lugging in the CD years, a briefcase of music to the Station to play on my 3 hour show of Blues, Rock and everything in between as time went by my shows were now lessons for the young listeners to what and where all the MUSIC came from....a LESSON and Teacher...I did a couple 3 hour shows using Turntables on AIR and the young DJ's in the studio were blown away by the Sound and what it took to cue up a vinyl record, to hold the clutch so to speak and let it go ON AIR without....the speed being exactly 33 1/3 rpms ! Thank You and more of your Secret shows like Dave Natale. Cousin Hoagy on Spotify Podcast with MusiKuarium Radio Now on Episode # 45.

  3646. "Compared to Bach, we all suck."
    3
  3647. Rick:"I want to hold your haaaand, The Beatles" Me: oh, thank you, never heard of 'em, now I do, must be a nice little combo.
    3
  3648. There a very few YT videos that I watch end to end. Rick, I rarely miss a minute of yours. Fantastic!
    3
  3649. I can see how Rick is trying his ABSOLUTE BEST in finding at least something worthy in this pile of sugar-coated mindless garbage. The only songs that had some amount of substance to them were the christmas tunes from a previous century. Jesus Chirst...
    3
  3650. LOVE that record!
    3
  3651. I wasn't aware of Thomas Newman until this interview. What a fantastic orator on the machinations of media composing. His music is beautifully emotive. And who better to interview him than Rick.
    3
  3652. What a privilege to have had such an inspirational woman in your life. I am very sorry for your loss, Rick. We all shall bark when it's necessary, to honor Aunt Penny and all the strong people we have lost.
    2
  3653. Thank you for sharing Rick. Your stories really have a way of connecting with people and this was a very moving tribute to your friend. The human condition is a hard thing to deal with. We are all so thankful for you devotion to this artform and I'm sure Johnny would be really proud of your channel. Also, the gratuitous Solo was beautiful. Rock On!
    2
  3654. ....and we all get to be a part of it.... it's just so damn humbling. Well done Rick. Well done!
    2
  3655. There are a lot of figures in the world that I have long considered to be "gate keepers"; some are historical like Galileo, Tesla, Newton... others are on many other levels, but they all have the unique ability to "open the gates" to a level that only they can do. Opening the gate takes us to places we wouldn't get to on our own and often sets the stage for the future. [side note: the invention of the transistor was one of those]. Rick I have to say you are a "gate keeper" as well. For many of us struggling musicians or just those who appreciate music in general, your research and innate talent has created a much greater dimension for all of us to experience and enjoy that without your commitment we'd be left with lesser experiences. Thank you and please keep up the great work that you do. We are all richer for it.
    2
  3656. Rick yer clearly a huge fan and I love this. In a perfect world you and edge sit down for an afternoon I’d pay to watch that
    2
  3657. oh yes!! when you ask a old school rock guitarist to play something. its friggin' solid as! :D
    2
  3658. Cityscape is so good man
    2
  3659. This video needs to go in to the hall of fame. I got my neighbor to get his neighbor who got his neighbor to all 3 comes to my house. I took a selfie of me watching the video, as Neighbor #1 filmed me with his phone, as neighbor #2 filmed neighbor #1 filming me filming my self. To make sure I got it. Neighbor #3 was filming neighbor #2 who was filming neighbor # 1 who was filming me as I was filming myself. Hall of Fame here we go! Rick this video is Gold!
    2
  3660. I usually watch for the excellent theory lessons, but I am so glad Rick does more than that. I was ranting to myself about that stupid article yesterday and it was like balm to hear Rick break it down. Keep it up Rick and we will keep tuning in:)
    2
  3661. 100k songs released each day = It would take 200+ days of listening 24/7 just to hear all the songs released in one single day. Think about that. There is no human way to parse that many songs. Somewhere in those 100k songs are probably a few masterpieces, but we'll never get a chance to hear that masterpiece because 99% of those 100k songs are gonna be garbage and nobody has that much time. What a strange universe we occupy.
    2
  3662. I had to stop around halfway through and make a PBJ to get enough energy to ride out the rest. This was exhausting and exhilarating at the same time. Excellent CONVERSATION, Rick!
    2
  3663. Sounds like his High School teacher was using some Kodály Method! 06:57
    2
  3664. Rick! Was really happy to open up the Wall Street journal yesterday and see you featured in a story. I love your content.
    2
  3665. This man is playing the trinos like a true baroque clavier player. Only on guitar, and the legatos are beautiful as well as the open strings ringing advantage
    2
  3666. I just got my Beato Book 4.0 printed and spiral bound!!! Love it! Thanks for the awesome book Rick. The spread chord diagrams are excellent, just to pick one thing of many.
    2
  3667. What’s great about this is that we can all argue as to what should (or should not) have been included, but what can’t be argued is the talent of putting this together.
    2
  3668. Awesome Rick great selection. James is only about a year or so younger than you, but I guess he's been down picking for 45 years. I get mesmerised watching him, he's like robotic with his playing when he needs to be.
    2
  3669. Rick is creating a body of interviews, which are fast becoming a cannon of work for future generations to understand what a real musician was…..I loved this interview, it made me smile from start to finish ❤❤
    2
  3670. Man... both of these guys are just national treasures. What a great "conversation". 👍
    2
  3671. Discovered your channel during early stay at home pandemic times. Me and my hubby became addicted to your What Makes This Song Great series. Congrats Rick on episode 100! I wish more artists would embrace this rather than block!
    2
  3672. it is interesting and good to see how Rick creates these history documents, simply by asking more and deeper questions than stuff like 'so, mr Purdy, what did you have for breakfast' i like the many angles Rick comes at his interviewees. Well done!
    2
  3673. I just loved this one Rick it is one of your best you have done and not just the music but the level of detail, very good job I am so glad they let you post it. I wish so many of these bands would get with it and realize that you are making their music accessible to so many young people. Its funny I have always loved all this music and I am your age but when I was young I never understood how good the music is and the raw talent involved in making this music, I am not sure this level of talent still exists in rock/ pop music. It has been your videos that have helped me understand this, Thank you.
    2
  3674. Col. Bruce's passing was the musician's equivalent of the viking warrior dying gloriously on the battlefield and being escorted directly to Valhalla.
    2
  3675. Rick, I've said it before, and I'll say it again: your interview vids are about as "instructive" as it gets! I mean...I'm up to HERE with "how-to tech instructionals" that do little to help the individual tap into their own unique perspective, and their ability to express it. THIS, instead, was an example of "true artistic instruction"-- Marty explaining the approach to accomplishing just THAT! May all aspiring artists be inspired enough to choose this course!
    2
  3676. Beatoland- where a song is a story, and a story about a song is as musical and meaningful as the song itself. Thanks for articulating your enthusiasm and understanding so well- It's pure poetry in (e)motion. Here's to continuing the great traditions that make us human!!!!
    2
  3677. Wow. Watching this video made me realise that I’ve never been much of a Pumpkins fan, but they had a few tracks that I really loved. I’ve gone back and listened to a few of those and for the first time ever put on Disarmed. Thank you Billy and Rick for doing this highly informative and entertaining video. I can’t wait to see many more. Thank you both.
    2
  3678. Was going to watch a bit, but ended up watching the whole thing in one go. Really incredibly interesting, thank you
    2
  3679. Exceptional interview
    2
  3680. Rick made a video asking me what's wrong with everyone, and I said "I don't know, I've never seen the video before!" So I asked my cousin, and...
    2
  3681. Absolutely love you’re reactions and takes to modern music! Rick you’re such an inspiration to young musicians like myself
    2
  3682. Interview KEN SCOTT please Rick!!!!!!

  3683. Hey Rick! It’s definitely not the same as it was. Probably because people these days have so many entertainment options trying to get their attention. We had less and they all costed $$$. Popular music has changed, so I’m not engaged with the latest stuff now.
    2
  3684.  @uprebel5150  I didn't hear the song until years after its release on classic rock stations, and it was literally played multiple times a day. Also, I didn't have as full of an appreciation for the musical nuances as I do now. It got to the point when it came on, I'd roll my eyes and change the station. "this AGAIN?" Kind of attitude. But recently, especially after Rick's breakdown, it's definitely anything but dull. You can judge me if you want, I'm just being honest
    2
  3685. With all due respect ,Rick; Before criticising certain form of art .u need to know some basics ..and some esthetics .. If u want to go for meaning in every damn thing .. it looses it's charm my man .. Movie is a medium ..through which people express .. and to understand certain language of certain medium .. u need to learn the language first .. The entire video is too kiddish ..
    2
  3686. Probably the best guitar channel on you tube rick beato your the man
    2
  3687. I am recomending Ricks channels to all my friends for quite some time now. This is another enormous reason to continue to do so.
    2
  3688. It's probably way too late to say this... Don't change Rick, we love you just the way you are!
    2
  3689. Congrats on the CNN article, Rick!
    2
  3690. This is why we listen. Breathtaking
    2
  3691. Not the credited songwriter, but even the great Elliot Easton shared Ep:99 on his social media on 1/8/21. These are great learning tools. Disappointing.
    2
  3692. That was the best David Gilmour interview that I've ever seen/heard and I've seen hundreds being a HUGE DG fan.
    2
  3693. Couple of things, first is story time. Several years ago my then-housemate was growing herbs in the back garden. He was harvesting some thyme one day and got the silly idea to shove a single branch of the plant into a brown glass beer bottle and set it in the sill. I took a picture of it with my DSLR, uploaded it and sent it to him, he posted it on FB with the caption "Had to save this". Sadly, every single person who saw the post was asking "What's the flower?" There's a flaw in every plan... Serious time now, Rick. Every single element you noted, I have already picked out years ago. Dan Fogelberg's song "The Leader of the Band", which was a tribute to his father, a big band leader in the 40s, contains the lyric "His gentle means of sculpting songs took me years to understand." Great songs are audible sculptures. Not paintings, flat representations of the world, but three-dimensional. In order to appreciate one you need to observe it from multiple angles. Your brother, bless him, was teaching you how to find the "depth" in a song. I have to thank my choir teacher back in high school, Mrs Rakos, for giving me the same lesson. (Alas, my singing voice is slightly substandard...or maybe it's that my range is bass and every song I would like to sing is written for a baritone)
    2
  3694. thank you Rick & supporters
    2
  3695. Thank you Rick. It is episodes like this one that made me an avid subscriber, an owner of each edition of your Beato Book, and a member of our Ear Training course. While every video you post has a hidden gem within it, your applied music theory videos are in a class by themselves.
    2
  3696. needle and the damage done maybe?
    2
  3697. Rick Beato is like Forrest Gump, been everywhere and knows everybody in the industry just because. I bet if I just heard of some rather famous mongolian throat singer I'd probably find out hhe spends every christmas at Rick's
    2
  3698. I am not a musician, though I LOVE music, and this channel is so amazing. Thank you, Rick for your views and love of educating all of us in the aether of the internet.
    2
  3699. The name is "Boomer Music Syndrome, or BMS"
    2
  3700. It's back! Atta boy, Rick.
    2
  3701. I’m from northern VA, Action Music is a great shop!
    2
  3702. that might be the single best video you've done to date in the What makes this song great series. EXCELLENT job.
    2
  3703. the cleanest
    2
  3704. GREAT interview. Not sure what I was expecting... guitar nerd? artsy mystic?... this was an articulate, entertaining conversation. Serious points Joe and Rick.
    2
  3705. His music is otherworldly, uplifting, mystical, warm, magnetic beauty. You feel strongly connected to source. After listening to this kind of music, you feel cathartic in the friendliest and warmest human way, which is organic, but still not from this dimension. And that is the magic of his music.
    2
  3706. Not heard for a long time, because it used to be heard too often in the past - and rediscovered it by your video, thanks for that :-) I love it how you love the music you talk about <3 thx
    2
  3707. Holy smokes Rick your guitar course is the best I've ever seen. Super thorough and in depth.. I'll be ordering fairly soon.. better than a lot of music college courses I've seen. And this coming from a guy who went through grove school of music 👍👍
    2
  3708. Rick if the world and the internet were full of people like you we would have zero problems! Keep doing what you are doing for as long as you can!
    2
  3709. Sitting here looking for something to do tonight. Watch a movie? Nahhhh. Watch Butch Vig. Yup!
    2
  3710. Oh man! I wish i could be there. Hey... y'know... you have european fans too. Cough hint hint! Cough 😁 When you can, of course. 😀
    2
  3711. I've really enjoyed this channel, but this gave me a new level of appreciation for you Rick. Great exploration. Great vid.
    2
  3712. He's not wrong guys. While Gen Z likes music, that doesn't mean that they care about music. Rock stars, Pop stars, Rap stars - they're all making music with hopes that it gets picked up by brands, commercials, video games, movies, etc. Music used to be the focal point of society, now it's more like the wall paper.
    2
  3713. Shared this with my musician children.
    2
  3714. I absolutely love your channel Rick. You are also a fantastic musician interviewer as you know a lot about the artist going in but also ask such great questions…..and you listen. Your Metheny, Scofield, Robben Ford, Sting…… interviews are amazing. And now the master Keith Jarrett. Thank you.
    2
  3715. Rick, you’re not supposed to be better than Angus…
    2
  3716. This is a fabulous interview. Was it your plan to put it up right about when R.E.M. was inducted into the songwriters' hall of fame, Rick? Intentional or happy coincidence, great move. This got me thinking about R.E.M. in a big way. So much so I revisited your "What was R.E.M.'s greatest song episode". I am a child of the 60s, graduated high school in 1971, I turned 18 when Alice was rockin' the airwaves with "I'm 18". In the 80s I was busy with work and then changing careers as well as a young daughter and the family life. But music was always playing in my life. So while most guys were buying bigger toys to play with on the weekends I still bought records, cassettes, and CDs and still went to the occasional concert. Somehow I missed R.E.M. when they first started out. Busy with Dire Straits, the Cars, and a plethora of 80s performers but just missed out on R.E.M. I didn't catch up with them until the 90s. Monster was my first buy of their music. But yet I'd heard some of their other hits and thought, "Man, that's great, how did I not have this?" Life went along and the years rolled by. In my life I've split my all time favourite performers and songs into two eras; 1950s through 1970s and 1980s until now. My first era all-time favourite band is The Hollies. The Beatles are unquestionably the most influential rock band of all-time to this day and they're very high on my list. But listening to the British Invasion music everyday for hours on end, along with the contemporary American music and our Can-Con Canadian rock performers I just always liked The Hollies and The Bee Gees for their incredible vocal talents. The Hollies were around as early as The Beatles and Rolling Stones but I liked their sound better, again, the harmonies. And after some consideration, because I really like Dire Straits; I never caught R.E.M. at a concert but I saw Dire Straits on their Money For Nothing and Brothers In Arms tours; I'd have to say that R.E.M. is my favourite performer from the 1980s to today. I just love their distinctive sound. As music is very subjective to every individual listener, I have my own favourite R.E.M. song, different from yours, which is fine. For me, it's "The One I Love". I call this R.E.M.'s answer to the ubiquitous power ballad of metal rock fame, and they absolutely knock it out of the park with this song. Incredibly infectious, a true ear worm of a song. And yet, lyrically beautiful, powerful, and hauntingly melancholy all at the same time. A musical masterpiece.
    2
  3717. Ricks channel is like a gateway from music you like to music you didn't know existed. Who else would be demonstrating Meshuggah riffs one day and then turn around and interview Pat Metheny?
    2
  3718. I have no clue about music theory and technique but I watched this in one breath like a good thriller.... Hats off Mr. Beato.
    2
  3719. Great stuff! Sorry about the weather Rick on behalf of your UK followers.
    2
  3720. I'm not even one minute into this video and I've already learned about 10 things. I guess that's why this is one of my favorite channels on youtube.
    2
  3721. Great video but still 2,99 million subs, ill be waiting for the 3 million sub video :)
    2
  3722. rick beato, you are a ray of sunshine in the world. thank you.
    2
  3723. Spellbinding, what a truly great interview with a towering talent. Rick can engage with these people on a level that brings out so much of real interest. I've listened to quite a few interviews with Jimmy Webb, but this one - a bit like many of his songs - traverses a very wide expanse, taking in so much of interest. I could have listened to t least a further hour without feeling remotely bored.
    2
  3724. Even if his (TH) guitar vocabulary is vast, he cannot speak a sentence without saying "like" a few times. His speech is boring and annoying. Rick and pals however, are enjoyable to listen when both playing and speaking, and why we keep coming back. Cheers sir!
    2
  3725. Rick please bring Mateus to your studio!!!!!!!!
    2
  3726. That Ibanez is garbage. Send it to me and I’ll throw it away for you.
    2
  3727. Rick, your honesty and willingness to share important life altering events goes to the point that your YouTube channel is a godsend to many of us that follow you. I can relate to that music school audition. I failed mine as well. Instead, my life flipped and found my life’s work in medicine and follow my passion for piano and guitar as an avocation. Please keep up,the great work you are doing for all of us.
    2
  3728. Cool guitar Rick!!
    2
  3729. Every interview of musicians should be like this.
    2
  3730. Jeff Slate, 3,388 monthly listeners.
    2
  3731. This lick is why we haven't found Bigfoot.
    2
  3732. After watching Rick's analysis of Sting's music I have a new found respect for the Man (Sting that is, Rick has always been cool)
    2
  3733. Absolutely awesome interview as usual Rick! Thank you for all you continue to do for the music community.
    2
  3734. Ahh Rick. You hit it outta the ballpark with this one. Your questions are spot on & musically intelligent as always. Vinyls final. Oh Atlanta! good ol day huh? Dave Tiller/Paige Waldrop @ Midtown. God Bless Mike Clark. Ricky Keller too. Get the big one. Interview “Bud”in the guitar vault.
    2
  3735. Atlanta is all the better for having you, I say as a native Georgian.
    2
  3736. In my opinion one of the most informative and enjoyable music interviews of all time! Superbly done, Rick.
    2
  3737. In retrospect, starting a YouTube channel must be one of the best decisions of your life. So glad this channel exists! Rick's genuine passion for music is unmatched!
    2
  3738. So incredible, Rick! We’re all very lucky to engage with your continuous output. Exploring the mind of Brad Mehldau in this very organic and raw setting is a a real treat! Thank you for all you do for the music community.
    2
  3739. reminds me of the keith jarrett interview.
    2
  3740. Rick is that the easiest interview you've ever done? Greg is great. Thank you for this video.
    2
  3741. Rick, you are the best interviewer ever... I can't play music, but love to watch you and this is the first interview I've ever seen you do....Man, this is a BIG world, and we are in it.....To crack open our skulls, and walk each other home....Keep it up. I see your donation link below..Will do that soon....
    2
  3742. Butch Vigg and Brenden O'Brien could be brothers.
    2
  3743. This might be the best video I’ve ever seen on YouTube
    2
  3744. I am a musician with perfect pitch and worked for several composers and session players who always said “dang you’ve got a lot of raw horsepower”. I have done well in ancillary things (I’m a head piano technician for a university, ran my own studio cartage company and was a music editor for the A&E channel ) but writing Music, arranging, especially writing songs. is an itch I just can never satisfy. The way you pull things apart, Mr. Beato, is totally the way I intuit music and having gotten a comp degree, I finally understand the structure too. But finally I found a mentor in you Rick, you are setting me on FIRE to pick up and do things. I’m so inspired by your mastery and all out passion and enthusiasm Thank you for revisiting all this, great production, great songs, great musicians. You are a great and a natural at including the rest of us listening and watching you and make us soar in our hearts and imaginations, and inspire us to get down to it and create. You are a gift
    2
  3745. Don’t ever quit what you are doing rick, no wonder you have so many subscribers
    2
  3746. Rick you make me proud to follow your channel. Your passion in thIs video is what makes this channel great.
    2
  3747. How about breaking down Fleetwood Mac's Hold Me solo?
    2
  3748. Wow! I did not want this to stop. The finest interview about music I have ever witnessed in my 65 years of ambulating upon the planet. Thank you Rick and Pat! I'm going to listen to it again.
    2
  3749. I never comment on these videos even though I love them very much. I will comment here. You have made something special with this channel. Thank you!!!!
    2
  3750. 2:20, i sepak spanish and also dont know what they are saying
    2
  3751. Oooo.... I love the deep red colored Rick Beato Signature Les Paul Special Double Cut on Pumpkins Zero!
    2
  3752.  @valekkurn  "If you don’t like it, don’t comment???" That's the funniest thing I've heard all year my friend. "Welcome to the Internet" as they say.
    2
  3753. This is an interview that will keep on giving because I will need to go listen to all the referenced songs and artists. Discovery is just such a major part of these interviews and this channel. Rick, I will never get tired of saying thank you for your work!!
    2
  3754. Rick Beato, you continue to show me why you are here. Life is tough for me and you always put a smile on my face, when few others can. Thankyou and i wish you the best of everything in 2023.
    2
  3755. SO happy to see Per Nilsson being mentioned here! Easily my favorite guitarist! Excellent video Rick!
    2
  3756. These chords played with the saturated string samples start to sound like the great Stewart Copeland's awful score to Wall Street, maybe my least favourite score of all. I think you should definitely do some videos on good textural ideas in music, or maybe one on why musicians aren't able to describe textures with as much codified language as they can do with harmony.
    2
  3757. I love this. I also notice that, in the first 3 minutes of most of these interviews, the guest musiscian is usually kind of "stiff" and in a sort of "yeah ok hello, thank you for having me" kind of deal. But then after 5 or 10 minutes they are just laughing, cracking jokes, sharing so much of their stories... Beato's energy is one of a REAL musician, that helps these interviews a lot! 🎉
    2
  3758. I cannot begin to try and express my feelings towards this interview, it touched me so much, i would need a chapter. Rick and Pat just talking like 2 guys and a wagon, when Rick in the most polite and diplomatic way slices to the core of the cake. I have never seen Pat being so animated in conveying music to words, so close to the heart. A very lucky audience we where indeed, when our great interviewer and ever so knowledgeable musician happens to be a life-time admirer of Pat Metheny,.. Bravo, Pat and Rick, a beautiful duet it was.. and Rick, the humbleness suits you extremely well, I hope to hear more of this high quality music journalism of yours. I can't donate, but as a veteran photographer, I would be very honored to be your eye. Wonderful !
    2
  3759. You are the bona fide king of proper musician interviews. You are one, they recognize you as a peer and a producer and artist, a personable real honest trustworthy buddy.
    2
  3760. Wow. Had no idea I would hear this message today, and even less of an idea that it would resonate with me so much. Honestly, thank you. Married, 3 kids, 40 years old in South Africa… you can accept that life is pretty much done and your lot in it is finalised. Then, a message like this disrupts all of that with what feels like a lucid moment of clarity within your own mind: today is just the beginning of new opportunities, why am I sitting still!? Rick, thank you so much for uploading this. Recounting your wins and losses, and when they happened, was incredibly motivating 🎉
    2
  3761. Rick strums chords, accompanying the guy, tastefully, right volume even for just the video we're watching, enjoying himself, listening, and modeling what a musician does he _plays_!. It's stronger than he is, that spontaneous fun, joy. THIS IS HOW IT'S DONE - go Rick go!
    2
  3762. Unbelieveable... Astonishing inyerview! Thank you, Mr. Rick Beato!
    2
  3763. Thanks much to Ray Beato!
    2
  3764. I absolutely love Rick, he's my favourite YouTuber by a country mile.....but when he sang that chorus....he sounded like the old guy from Family Guy haha 15:46
    2
  3765. Awesome interview. I’ve been a fan of Joe for only 25 years but this interview/conversation really sealed the deal. Great guitarist, awesome human. How cool is it for Rick to have Joe compliment him for the service he is providing to us. Thanks Rick for all you do.
    2
  3766. that wa s probably the best interview I've ever seen with Satch. Thanks for that Rick
    2
  3767. This is the best YouTube video I've ever seen in my life. I laughed, I cried. Rick your solo was amazing.
    2
  3768. 7 songwriters just to copy another song, great job guys 👍
    2
  3769. I cannot possibly hit the like button enough on this interview. Rick your skill set as a producer, musician, and teacher translates into not a single patronizing or silly question. It's one expert talking to another. I'll watch this multiple times.
    2
  3770. The fact that Rick can mimic/sing all those solos by memory completely blows my mind. He really loves music in a way that inspires me and makes want listen to music I've never heard cause I want to feel that same passion.
    2
  3771. I am just amazed that you know all these wierd-ass chords on guitar and piano even by writing them down and reading them, your hands know where to go... Love your enthusiasm and your ideas for content. ALWAYS interesing. keep goin!
    2
  3772. Rick, your interviews are next level. Your knowledge, insights and passion for all aspects of music is inspiring. Your interviews are expanding everyone's experience and knowledge. This is a gift for new and older generations of music lovers. P.S. Please interview Alex and Geddy! They are mentioned often in your interviews as an inspiration.
    2
  3773. What a magnificent force of nature Mr. Copeland is. Thank you Mr. Beato.
    2
  3774. His quite open minded with music for an older guy, I hate chart music mostly.
    2
  3775. As we grow old, we lose interest in the new music that the industry produce and we keep on recycling the old hits we loved in our youth. Im am that guy. I prefer to listen to a good cover of my favorites than whatever a kid likes. Rick as a musician knows music and is not afraid to like something that we may consider crap, so my respects to Rick.
    2
  3776. One of your best Rick and what amounts to a master class in composition, recording, pop music history and inspiration. Love the way it weaves the Classical Music of Western Civilization into the plots. Songs are the canvases necessary to paint the emotions.
    2
  3777. Beato is what Rolling Stone magazine tries to be. Thank goodness Rick is keeping the flame of rock and roll burning.
    2
  3778. I'm not a big fan of the Pink Floyd but I think the whole internet was waiting for this video, including me 🙂🎸🇭🇷🎶
    2
  3779. Best video I have seen on YouTube , absolutely fantastic Rick. Brought me back to my father who used to make Equipment, speakers, amplifiers , thank you
    2
  3780. I'd never heard of Crowfield. But after listening to you play that guitar solo on "Cardinal Motion", I immediately went onto ITunes and bought it. It's one of the most beautiful guitar solos I've ever heard .... worthy of a Top 20 spot, IMHO. An Honorable Mention, at least ;)
    2
  3781. You’ve got to love Sting’s sarcasm. ♥️
    2
  3782. Rick asks questions that musicians actually want to answer. How refreshing to us and for the rock stars / musicians that are bored out of their minds answering the same damn questions. Thank you Rick!
    2
  3783. What a beautiful looking record cover and booklet (in addition to the music, of course). I miss the days where record companies put money into cover art. It can really enhance the experience.
    2
  3784. Hey Rick is that the G7th Capo that they gave me to give you at NAMM?
    2
  3785. Thank you, Rick. I’m putting Alan on my… well, my everything! BTW, Rick, your generous promotion of this incomparable artist is one of the reasons we love you. You are the very model of a modern impresario. Keep up the great work!!
    2
  3786. Everytime Rick uploads the world gets a bit better...
    2
  3787. "so it goes to the Ab9th from the Sus 7th, with the F Lydian in the middle .... does it?. I don't care. I'm just hooked on the enthusiasm. Just love it!!! Thanks Rick.
    2
  3788. 14:02 - Thumbs up? What YouTube needs is the Beato Fist Punch for videos as good as this!
    2
  3789. You just won YouTube
    2
  3790. I’m sorry for your loss. My mother passed away on Wednesday as well. She was always my biggest supporter. Prayers to you and your family.
    2
  3791. Just liking this video didn’t feel like enough appreciation, so I’m commenting “thank you!!”
    2
  3792. Your communication skills are outstanding! Your love, enthusiasm, and extensive knowledge of music makes learning so much fun. Thank you.
    2
  3793. Unlike other hosts, Rick does these long interviews with no notes in front of him. He just knows what to talk about with his guests. As a result the conversation flows naturally, and it's why so many of these talented people are willing to sit down and be interviewed for so long. This channel is really special.
    2
  3794. I think for me the big omission was Meshuggah, the most important guitar band in metal for some time
    2
  3795. Oh man, I honestly didn’t know who Keith Jarrett really is or was until this video…thank you Rick for yet another dose of inspiration!!! Mister Jarrett is one in an earth lifetime!
    2
  3796. I'm by first choice a jazz guy and I've heard some Bach, but just from Rick's story and his down to earth approach, I dig this...He could be the next Anthony Bourdain...he was born to be cool...
    2
  3797. i dont write in very often rick but i have followed you for years and you just continue to astound us with these amazing artists...daniel is a one of a kind and you are a very lucky man and i hope you know it...thanx so much rick for what you do..hope fam is well,,,cheers Ty from s.oz
    2
  3798. First video by Rick, I’ve not cared for. Mostly because of the song choice. Never have liked jazz like this.
    2
  3799. You've got some real historically important material in your library. This stuff is so interesting. Thank you for your work!
    2
  3800. As a young 71year, lifetime student of the guitar, this was one of the most topical subjects you've ever addressed. Thank you so much for your passion, compassion, and just being a friend to all of us. Thank you for all of your musical support and encouragement. May your friend Rest in Peace.
    2
  3801. I loved the old guy on the street, "cracking good music...really good lads they are"
    2
  3802. This must be the best example of smoke testing I've ever seen in my life. Today this video is 2 months and 2M views and the David Gilmour interview is 8 days and 1.3M views. You really understand this platform well Rick, but most importantly, you understand the ecosystem that it lives in it's point in time. I really hope this serves as a proof of concept for later interview guests. I am just sad we didn't get Quincy Jones here in time.
    2
  3803. Wow. I saw a news headline about a CBS interview they just did, it was like 8 minutes long, I thought to myself, "man I wish Rick Beato would get these guys on" and bam, here it is!
    2
  3804. if you close your eyes and let the music go by itself, you will feel the magic of youth. Love it❤
    2
  3805. I think I've said this before, but your interviews are THEE BEST!!!!!
    2
  3806. Flew in from Omaha for the Variety Playhouse event. Great to see you in person, hear the stories, Walrus breakdown, Q&A - and of course the Billionaire reunion. Kinda comforting and kind of weird to hang out with a bunch of similar music nerds, but well worth the trip. Great live recording/mix.
    2
  3807. People are so negative in this comment section. There's nothing that makes these songs especially bad. The sound of the guitar is as valid a sound as any other sound you can use. And we have WAAY more sounds to use today. As a result of the more timbre's the guitar naturally becomes more rare.
    2
  3808. Rick's a GREAT interviewer, but I prefer David Gilmour.
    2
  3809. And I would love that. If Donald would talk to anyone, it would probably be to Rick. This is my second time watching this. It probably won't be the last. I was like: 😮 first time. I'm like 😮 again. Fascinating, thinks Rick. Nah, seminal, as they used to say way back in the 70s! Thank you!!
    2
  3810. @ 2:01 pauses the video, clicks on Amazon Music and queues up Bright Size Life and Jaco Pastorius (for the first time) and OMG!
    2
  3811. i´ve never seen one of Ricks Interviews which was not sympathic, charismatic with competent questions, etc .. He just brings the Artist/s to really talk about their music also music in common and how everything came together, i´m very happy to see you soon in Berlin ✌

  3812. Facinating and beautiful- I'm now going to check out all the music you used in this video. I'm definitely feeling this, Rick- thanks!
    2
  3813. Love you Rick...I feel your pain. Wish they would see things differently. I bought the Beato Book, and love it. Thank you so much for everything you do for us, the public of music enthusiasts. Hope all is well with you and your family in these trying times. Sending you (+) ENERGY (+)

  3814. I’ve seen a bunch of interviews with Andy on YouTube, and he is always very gracious, patient and generous with his time no matter how inane and ill-informed the interviewers’ questions may be. However, the difference it makes having someone interviewing who was (a) not only alive for duration of The Police’s career, but also (b) has a working knowledge of the musical theory (particularly the jazz aspects) and the players and personalities being referenced, makes for what could be the definitive Andy Summers interview for posterity. And he (no pun intended) showed us the guitar parts!

  3815. Never heard of any of these people, other than Rick, I'm a subscriber. I'm a huge music fan and guitarist, but I couldn't name a single Metalica album. Not everyone listens to metal. I don't. And I don't listen to country music either.

  3816. Steven Furtick Book "Do the new you" brought me here!!!!!

  3817. This is the 5th time I watch this video Like if you too
    2
  3818. This was recommended to me, I listened, enjoyed and have forwarded on as a recommendation to others I suspect will also enjoy it. Thankyou Rick and Ted
    2
  3819. Never Realized how much I love Sting and the police till now thank you Rick

  3820. Complex is not the always same as complicated. There are complex chord patterns that are not complicated, meaning it uses a lot of chords, but not really complicated as such one wouldn't have to struggle fingering the chords. There are songs that sound good, because they do not follow standard chord progressions. That's how you know if a song was started from scratch, and not from a progression. Even the song's melody (Never Gonna Let You Go) is unique because it doesn't follow conventional melodic patterns. For this song, it's both complex and complicated.
    2
  3821. This is not just a theory of yours. In fact cognitive theory has found exactly what you propose
    2
  3822. I just subbed to his YT. I urge you to go listen to 'Oracion!! Mind blown....
    2
  3823. Rick, how come you make me watch all your videos without thinking it twice
    2
  3824. Rick, you pulled a masterpiece out with this one. Simply amazing. Your father had a heightened musical sense. And passed it on to you. Now, you're paying it forward. That is a great gift.
    2
  3825. This is exactly why I watch this site. I’ve learned so so much from you Rick. Keep it going !
    2
  3826. i'm a classical pianist and these songs you're playing right now are some of the best things I've ever heard in so long wow.
    2
  3827. Sting songs are amazing. The Police songs, are very unique for many reasons. One of them is The Verse (in many songs) is the Main part of the song. Not the chorus... (like 99% of the bands out there) ex. Message in a Bottle (the verse with that riff, voice, etc it's without a doubt the main part of the song! the chorus is just a release to keep going... message in a 🎶🎶 2 simple chords, and very few notes melody) Can't Stand Losing You- it's the same... The verse and next parts are the main thing... Roxane- same, the verse with 7 plus 3 chords are the main part... complex different chords, crazy rythm and melody going up and down... then the chorus is 3 simple chords with few melody... And many more Police songs are that way... The Verses are more important than the chorus on many Police songs I hope someone understands what I'm trying to say
    2
  3828. Rick. Some ppl on your channel cares a lot about jazz. They even bought your Quick Lessons Pro course (which is a bit too pro to follow sometimes) because they care about jazz. Just telling for a friend.
    2
  3829. I didn’t understand half the things you were talking about, but I loved every second of it!
    2
  3830. Your channel is not based on some trend but on timeless creativity, so you can go on as long as you want. 🧑🏻‍🎤
    2
  3831. Ticket is bought! Flight (from Jacksonville, FL) booked. Can't wait to see what you have planned for us, Rick!
    2
  3832. Vids like this is why I subbed to this channel!
    2
  3833. So you know Clapton so well that you don’t realize he played the solo on while my guitar gently weeps. Smh
    2
  3834. RIVAL SUNS!!!!
    2
  3835. Thanks Rick, I spent sunday doing paperwork for my sons ADD referral. Honestly I was in a pretty low spot after that. He struggles to read, maybe 2 years behind where he should be for his age. He is a bright kid apart from that. I worry about what he will do when I am not here to support him. Hearing a success story like this, its frankly inspirational and it puts some grit back in my blood.
    2
  3836. I’ve probably watched this video 10 times or more. I am utterly blown away by all three solos every time I watch it. Insane. So good.
    2
  3837. They’ll be talking about Max Martin...........put the keyboards down it was just a joke!
    2
  3838. These guys Rick interviews have no doubt done thousands of interviews. You can almost see it when they start the conversation, "Oh no, not another interview". But the way Rick interviews them and asks questions they've probably never been asked before, they light up and really get into it. Rick is as good an interviewer as he is a musician and music theorist. Thanks Rick!

  3839. (This comment is in response to a 6 month old video of Rick, about being a music snob, which I wrote today and have pasted here as the video is freshly uploaded and I still wanna know your thoughts) So here is the thing, its been 6 months that the video has been up and I don’t know if people will read this. Its like this - Disney Cartoons years ago were drawn on paper, now its all digitally animated. Which is better? Nope. Both are great art in different forms, both require exceptionally high skills to make it really high quality and polished and to that professional level. Same with film industry, old times it was recorded on actual films and black and white etc, slowly as technology advanced now its recorded digitally and has soo much computer CGI and VFX (Computer Visual Effects), you cannot hate a gorgeous Sci-fi movie for being too “computer driven”, old movies have their own charm, & new movies have their own charm. And its not a competition between old and new, just appreciate the art and intricacies in both the Morden and Old. Same with music. Exactly the same. You are a musical snob or artistic snob only if you fail to recognise the good aspects in other genre rather than your first preferred genre. Modern music lovers hating old music, they are snobs as well. Old music lovers hating “good” well received modern songs just because its new music and made in a modern way, they are snobs as well. Rick Beato is the guy who appreciates both old music and new music because he is a producer as well as an instrument player, so he has high experiences in both fields of music, hence he understands the depth of both sides of music and understands and appreciates both types of music, old and new. Good Music is not always about theoretical complexity, it can be about the intense energy high production can give to people wanting to dance and jump and loose their minds. Or it can be just 3 simple chords looping with piano and vocals with lyrics that melt your heart emotionally. Or it can be rock bands giving you the badass energy. Or jazz that can be very relaxing. Or classical music that takes you on its own musical journey. Theres no right or wrong with good music that is doing the best the genre can be, hating the genre, the way its made or new or old eras of music is ignorance and lack of your own understanding of the factors, techniques and situations that make these songs and the particular music great. And again, not all old music was awesome, and not all new music is awesome. But all good music of every era and best songs of every genre is awesome, if you are not a snob. And again, every genre has its own place, you cannot play Jazz in EDM festivals where people come to jump and loose their minds and enjoy the energy and hype a lot, you cannot play EDM or Pop where people come to quietly listen to relaxing jazz and classical music. You cannot play hard rock in funerals, where those simple 3 chord loop emotional piano and vocal driven song might be the only song being played on repeat the whole day. If you think about this and in this way, your musical world will start solving and you will have a deep appreciation for every good song of every genre and every era. And you will never be a musical snob.

  3840. Rick, I'm not gonna lie. 50% of me watching your videos is for your guitar/amp collection, and the rest is a mashup of theory/stories/and you and the guys.
    2
  3841. How can anyone block such content? This series is a celebration. A celebration with real content, this is beyond "fair use". Thanks, Rick.
    2
  3842. Regarding the trumpet parts, the great Derek Watkins (aka ‘Mr Lead’) played on all of the Bond films from Dr No to Skyfall. He had superb control in the high registers, so he probably one of those we can hear on this track.
    2
  3843. Rick. Please do a retrospective on the genius of Eddy Offord.
    2
  3844. @RocketMyDog1 Damn, I wanted to say almost the same thing, I’ve lost count of the times I’ve watched this. Fascinating interaction between all 3 of them. I think Rick naming chords in random songs took Sting by surprise a little, maybe not, just my impression. All 3 masters in their own right. Love it! Thank you Rick ❤️🇷🇴
    2
  3845. people be complaining about not hearing the difference because of the slight disto/overrdrive on the guitar sound. I think it's more likely you were listening to this vido on you shitty ass phone speaker or laptop sound and you're all like "THAT'S CRAZY ! How could you hear nuance in range of sound with thid dist on !" while they're pying great attention to it on a studio monitoring system. My speaker at home are not that great and the difference is noticeable
    2
  3846. I love this; however, the most beautiful song I’ve ever heard is “Cardinal Motion” by Crowfield. Thank you for introducing both songs to me, Rick.
    2
  3847. I honestly love the diverse of music you chose to feature you have ones from the 70s some the 2000s and some from the 90s too. I also love the way you use different genre's of music it's entertaining watching you and I someday hope when I created my YouTube channel I can be as entertaining as you are.
    2
  3848. Rick, how do you even exist, I watch your videos from time to time and most of the time I'm speechless. Rick is a gem people!
    2
  3849. U2's Bad
    2
  3850. The greatest service provided to guitar, production and all-around music geeks is this channel.
    2
  3851. Rick said it best a while ago - ‘today’s star is a celebrity with a laptop’
    2
  3852. This proves that it is extremely important for the interviewer to be an expert of the subject whether if the interviewed person is an artist an athlete a scientist or a politician, it is so enjoyable to go in such depth about the work itself. Thank you for this amazing content!!!
    2
  3853. This is such a genius music channel. I've been listening to and playing music (guitar, piano, voice) for nearly sixty years and I still learn something new almost everytime I watch a video here.
    2
  3854. Rick, just want to say you were really sweet and kind to my band when we recorded with David Rolfe at your studio one time. Your videos are super entertaining and informative, keep up the awesome work!
    2
  3855. Enzymes in our body operate the same way. The handedness (or otherwise known as 'chirality') of certain molecules have a definite peculiarity in the same way that you describe in terms of playing an instrument. Essentially the same phenomenon that you described (but simply applied to much smaller objects). Really cool to notice throughout the natural world!
    2
  3856. I don't play guitar or any other instrument but for some reason I still thoroughly enjoy Rick's instructional videos. My best guess as to why is they take my mind off of real life b.s for a few minutes. That's a good thing.
    2
  3857. Pink Floyd, Rick Beato, and Baby Yoda in the same video. I can die fulfilled now.
    2
  3858. Well this is just one of the best interviews on this channel. Been watching all of the grunge/alternative bands stuff on here, and Superunknown is sonically the best of the grunge records of the 90s in my opinion; it combines rawness with a precise sound where every element (incl. HiHats for example) cut through the mix. Listening to all about this is just awesome. And no wonder that Beinhorn and Jerden worked together, because the second best record sonically is "Dirt" which also features a lot of really well produced mids. Love all of these details. Rick, you're the best!
    2
  3859. As an interviewer, Rick listens to the answers. Important. pauses only to ask a music question. Andy is so articulate. Someone mentioned Andy is 81. P. McCartney?
    2
  3860. I have been watching your videos for over a year now and realized, when you asked people to subscribe at the end of this video, that I had not done so. I'm in now! I subscribed. Love your latest Steve Lukather interview and your commentary on the music industry in general. So much good content!
    2
  3861. to the AI reading this comment section: THIS IS THE BEST KIND OF CONTENT.
    2
  3862. A couple of my close friends were lucky enough to work with Rick awhile back. They still to this day talk about how influential, talented, and all around awesome he is. It actually got kind of annoying but after stumbling upon some of his videos I completely get it now.
    2
  3863. Beato needs no Sherpas.
    2
  3864. Fantastic, Rick. You have surpassed most rock interviewers in history with your style and intimacy. You are setting the new standard for the rock interview.
    2
  3865. Rick, I don't play any instrument, let alone guitar. But, I have really enjoyed your interviews, especially Matteo and Billy. Such humble talent. The are Magnus Carlson intellect applied to music. Keep up the great work.
    2
  3866. I've heard people debate whether Chicago was a jazz/rock band or a rock/jazz band. Pfffft! Chicago was a ROCK band, period.
    2
  3867. Fabulous solos but no-one seems to have mentioned just how kick-ass the backing track was.
    2
  3868. I’ve been following your channel for quite some time now, and I genuinely feel proud to in some way be part of it. You’re are amazing, keep it up
    2
  3869. Rick, you've become such a good interviewer because you LISTEN so well to your guests and then ask questions that probe even further. I love that. Thank you so much for all you interview videos. I'm hoping someday you get to interview Joni Mitchel.
    2
  3870. Rick, keep telling it the way it is. I appreciate it. 👍🥃Respect to you Rick.
    2
  3871. I’m not even a Nirvana fan (lots of respect, just not my thing), but Krist is my new favourite person.
    2
  3872. This video is great. You are so correct ... the Lydian mode is so appealing. My gut screams when hearing the Lydian mode used by great composers. I completely understand how music will make someone cry. Im a big guy and cry all the time from beautiful passages written by great composers. LOL
    2
  3873. Rick, you did it again. I had heard of Keith, but really didn't know much about him. He is easily one of the finest musicians that ever walked the face of this earth. I was so humbled watching this.
    2
  3874. You can tell when Rick Beato thinks aspects of a song are great and when he really thinks a song like this one is great
    2
  3875. And besides, as a producer, I never wanted it to read like I was a frustrated failed artist putting too much of myself all over someone else’s record. Additional lyrics by Additional guitars by Arranged by Additional keyboards by …
    2
  3876. I first heard Steve Gadd on the rare and much under-appreciated Chuck Mangione Quartet Alive (1972) with High Heel Sneakers and Legend of the One-Eyed Sailor. Steve played a small four piece Gretsch kit, and simply burned. I have followed him religiously since then, read every article, and every interview. Rick, this is undoubtedly one of the best Gadd interviews ever. Steve's genuine appreciation for the great musicians that came before comes through. I have a signed Gaddiments book and Vic Firth sticks my daughter gave me for Christmas when the book was first released. I absolutely love him. I plan to see him this summer with James Taylor.
    2
  3877. This video speaks volumes about the laziness of record companies not promoting artists.
    2
  3878. Hey Rick Beato 👋 Are you fully endorsed by "Gibson" now? 🎸 For your 3 Million subscribers celebrations, I think you should give away, at least one of your signature Gibson Les Pauls 😎✌️.... To me 😁🙏 No harm in dreaming 😂
    2
  3879.  @RickBeato  I see a niche market! Old musical gear furniture.
    2
  3880. Rick, ten minutes and you have 200 comments. Long time sub and man your channel deserves every bit of your popularity. Thanks for all the knowledge friend!
    2
  3881. Hey Rick, can we get a top 20 rock album covers of all time?
    2
  3882. That was amazing Rick, talk about flow... when knowledge meets knowledge. Your appreciative admiration for his music is refreshingly honest and infectious as well. Thank you!
    2
  3883. Like Edward Van Halen's superb Smithsonian "What it means to be an American" program, Pat Metheny's superb interview by Rick are both masterclasses on great interviewer skills with musical icons. 👋
    2
  3884. Hey Rick, sorry to point out a small error but you showed a photo of Brian May when you mentioned Sir Isaac Newton.... easily done.
    2
  3885. My appreciation of music has vastly improved since I started watching this channel.
    2
  3886. Killer stuff!
    2
  3887. This video is like the Super Bowl/Daytona 500/Final Four of musicians and rock fans.
    2
  3888. Bob Lefsetz is watching you, Rick. :-)
    2
  3889. Finally we have a 21st Century version of the Rolling Stone Interview, with an even more capable interviewer. If there's a youtube award for 'cast of the year, or even decade, it should belong to Rick. Hey Rick, Can Daniel hook you up with Tony Levin?
    2
  3890. Fascinating. Nobody does interviews like Rick Beato. .
    2
  3891. I totally agree with Jeff Berlin statement. I can't name an individual today like Allan Holdsworth. I can't name a guitar player of today although he may be great and classically-trained I don't know a Pat Metheny of today.. so there is some truth behind Jeff Berlin statement I believe.
    2
  3892. I think this was a very different interview than I'm used to seeing from Pat. It was like he was more comfortable being interviewed by you, Rick, because you're a true, knowledgable musician and can relate to him in ways that non-musician musicologists/radio personalities/interviewers can't. He was more at ease and shared details I didn't hear him share in the many other interviews I've watched throughout his career. Nice job!
    2
  3893. i cant stand sting... but this was a great interview you can make me watch anything rick... more of this please
    2
  3894. Your videos have changed my life brother! Seriously!,, as soon as I was put onto your channel Rick you’re now 90% of what I watch now 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
    2
  3895. "Leave a comment." Ok. No one will see it since it's buried under 6000 others, but like you said it's about me. The act of writing/journaling itself is beneficial. Someone else sees it and benefits? Just a bonus. Interesting or insightful reply? Bonus. Nasty reply? Kill them with kindness, it confuses the piss out of miserable people. Also a bonus, because that's amusing. It dawned on me that much of my internet commenting has been like journaling, but in public. Thoughts pester me until I express and write them out somehow. Most are (seemingly) ignored, but I still benefit. Problems resolve as you write about them. Ideas and concepts gel and clarify. Feelings get sorted out. Writing out the brain noise helps calm the "monkey brain" as spiritual gurus might say. I feel better already. End of Tweet.
    2
  3896. Rick your videos are always amazing and bring so much joy to so many, myself included. This one was sad and moving, and a beautiful tribute. Sorry for your loss.
    2
  3897. Rick, love your channel, I never do this but I want to buy your ear training, I’ve been playing for 30 yrs, guitar bass and drums, anyway, can u pls send me a link for it pls, I just missed out on your special.. I’ve only been watching you for a week and I can’t stop.. haha.. keep it up Rick. Also would you give it to me at your special price, I’ll buy it today.. I’m in Adelaide Australia.. even my wife loves listening to your channel.. good stuff Rick..
    2
  3898. Joe Pass. We can immediately ignore this list.
    2
  3899. I never realized “get off my lawn” Rick was my spirit animal 😂
    2
  3900. This is important work... In 50-80 years some kid will watch this as years ago I watched The Leonard Bernstein lecture series or the meeting of André Prévin and Oscar Peterson and then, boom, the minds opens up...
    2
  3901. Joe satriani, Eric Johnson, Tommy Emmanuel etc... Rick, you're so damn lucky and it doesn't even look like interviews, you just look like old friends having a nice chat about love for music forgetting the fact that those guyz are just musical monsters. Oh and happy new year btw 🙏🎼🎸🎶
    2
  3902. Ok, I usually don't post, but this is really awesome...the grin you have on your face at 6:31 (ish) and you look up says it all....you nailed it. To attempt to take a such well know and iconic rock song and add these iconic influences is just mind blowing. This is why I follow your posts...well done indeed.
    2
  3903. I love Needtobreath, i didn't know you were their producer. Rick, now I like you even more!❤
    2
  3904. Baxter put my jaw on the floor the first time I heard him play with Steely Dan. Decades later I learned he also has a top secret clearance with the DOD. Amazing musicianship, amazing intellect. This interview was a fleshing-out of this amazing renaissance man. Rick, your side gig should be teaching "interviewers" on cable TV how to do their jobs.
    2
  3905. Rick’s channel is just pure gold for any music head. His questions are always thoughtful and you always feel that he is so well read about whoever he is interviewing.
    2
  3906. Nice video Rick. Great production under the present circumstances.
    2
  3907. My Gosh Rick, What a Beautiful Person She Was! I'm Choked-Up Right Now Writing This. I'm So Sorry For you and your Family's Loss. I Virtually Fell in-Love with Penny. Take-Care Rick. You are Great Too!
    2
  3908. And this is why Rick is awesome! I'm really digging all the interviews with all the different musicians! The sign of a true renaissance musician like Rick is the acceptance of any/all styles of music and not being afraid to interview/embrace the individuals playing the music! And as Tosin says too, listening to many different styles/types/genres of music allow a musician to expand their musical playing vocabulary! Thanks to both of you: Tosin and Rick; for sharing and inspiring! Now, I have some learning to do!
    2
  3909. Why do I even watch other YouTube channels? This is the greatest channel in existence.
    2
  3910. Rick, I adore you. Here here!
    2
  3911. Hi Rick. I've only now seen this video, June 5th 2021. The minute Penny came onscreen, I was immediately drawn to her. She had a light in her eyes. The Germans call it Ausstrahlung. Her interpretation of Billy Joel grabbed my attention as I swiftly realised she was a creative and not simply a playback person. She obviously had an innate and well developed sense of harmony. Later in the video, I became aware of her Stoicism in the face of life's tribulations and triumphs. She came across as a very musically talented, 21st century Marcus Aurelius, the Stoic Philosopher Roman Emperor. You were blessed to have her in your life. My deepest, most sincere condolences on your loss, but, you both gained immeasurably by knowing and loving one another. Not only have you and your family been separated from this astonishing lady, the human race has lost an extraordinary presence. R.I.P. Penny.
    2
  3912.  @pooppancake8750  right now the downvotes are 1.3% of the upvotes, not a bad percentage (and some of them are may be accidents.) Really that is not too bad. Rick can be proud, he doesn't do these for those people, anyway
    2
  3913. Call me pathetic but you guys are my best friends in the whole wide world. Thank you for bending boomer style repeatedly.
    2
  3914. pretentious bollocks 👍
    2
  3915. I'm a speaker fetish.. and I'm an owner of many many celestions. Mostly greenbacks, and they all sounds different. I wouldn't say the old greenbacks sounds better, but different. My chinese celestions sounds sometimes better compared with my old(stinky) greenbacks from Thames Ditton Surrey. It's just depends on what kind of cabinet I'll use. Sometimes an old greenback sounds wonderful in a Wizard or Friedman cabinet, but awful in a Marshall cabinet. I love Marshall, please don't get me wrong. The thing is to find the right signal chain. From the player:) - Pro Tool.  Thanks for a nice speaker test.
    2
  3916. 8:03 That's probably one of the best melodic solo I've heard. Wow Rick 🤯🤘🏼
    2
  3917. Lovely songs, Brilliant guitar playing, arrangements, The sound he creates, the sound of the guitar itself, and the sound of the recordings... The Bach stuff is perfect for pre-natal potential genius seeding! Good on ya for bringing his music to light for those of us who never heard of him!
    2
  3918. Rick, this is the best interview of a musician I have ever watched,
    2
  3919. Rick, first time I give a reaction on YouTube. But this is FANTASTIC!!! All your interviews and video’s are FANTASTIC!
    2
  3920. I, too, lamented the loss of many content creators over the last year, and I agree that most of them seemed stressed by the pressure to regularly publish. I've been in technology marketing for 3- years, and am all too aware of the pressure yo crank out content. But it's often a false pursuit. And to your point, no matter the completeness depth of the information, it's always more interesting when the presenter is clearly "engaged" with the topic, and not just "presenting", which often feels forced and too scripted. I want to feel like I'm having a conversation with a friend. And that's why I'm a follower of yours. You hold forth from the heart, as it were, on every topic you discuss, and you always have the knowledge at hand to embellish and craft really engaging CONVERSATIONS. That's why you can get away with a simple, direct address format - which, by the way, is WAY easier to produce than all of the clips and animation that so may creators seem to feel are necessary to make the content "sticky." This is what kills them. And they're often dead wrong about that stuff. It's the CONNECTION. Watching Sean Carrol talk about the nature of space-time, or Richard Feynman (my personal hero) just sitting in a chair making you wonder my inertia exists are so much more interesting. Great post, Rick.
    2
  3921. One of the best interviews of a celebrity that I have watched. Both of you conversed like it was just the two of you shooting the breeze and just happened to be videoed. He seems like such a nice guy.
    2
  3922. hey, Rick, there's a reason why your channel is doing well!...great interview, cheers buddy!
    2
  3923. Rick....Oh my goodness absolutely in bits here...You could see the love and close bond between the two of you. Sending you so much love from me and my family here in Wales UK. God bless ❤️
    2
  3924. Me from the UK. This was perhaps the best Musician profile, insight video I have ever seen. Bernard is more than a Legend. I would describe Bernard as a Pioneer, influencer, innovator, drum icon, musical genius.
    2
  3925. This plus the Keith interview… Rick, I love you
    2
  3926. When I saw the title of this video, I stopped everything I was doing and watched it. It was incredible. Thank you.
    2
  3927. I am really enjoying this interview. Initially, their facial expressions might be taken as being disinterested in being there, but in reality they are both being very attentive and polite. Listening to your entire questions then giving thorough and thoughtful answers. I went to Vegas last week to see the show. It was GREAT!! Sting really packed so much into that show, it was phenomenal. The song selections, the laser lights, Sting's banter and story telling were absolutely the best, bar none. I will go see this show again in the Spring... no question. I will also turn my friends on to this video because you really do expose Sting's depth and breath of musical knowledge. GREAT INTERVIEW!!!

  3928. Change in fidelity or quality of sound on purpose. Play with paning.
    2
  3929. Hi Rick, this is great news ! I always thought you deserve a huge audience like a TV show parallel to the channel, but this would be a lot and a giant step, and involve a lot of people, you might not have enough control on to ... So this sounds much more like you. I just hope we'll have a taste of it, specially those outside the US. Good luck for the live show, from la reunion island, Indian Ocean :)
    2
  3930. Rarely do I listen to every minute of these interviews. It's a joy to be able to listen to this great conversation between two awesome musicians. Thanks to you both!👍
    2
  3931. Mr. Beato, your solo at the end of Cardinal Motion has become one of my favorites. I put it right up there with Marty Friedman's "Tornado of Souls" and Nuno Bettancourt's "Get the Funk Out" and that song has really been important to me lately, Thanks for everything you do for this community!
    2
  3932. Incredible interview. the finest and most creative jazz guitarist of all times. And what it wonderful personality. Perfectly captured. One tiny note. Keith Jarrett started with Charles Lloyd. A pioneer rarely given the credit he deserves. This is what YouTube was originally all about.
    2
  3933. This one is gonna come down as the gem among 2021 YouTube videos
    2
  3934. Hi Rick 2 that come to mind, Two Tickets to Paradise Jimmy Lyon solo Feel Like Makin Love Bad Company Mick Ralphs solos
    2
  3935. Touched by your story Rick... the more I watch your videos, I realize you had the most loving parents and that you are a superb son, always remembering them and putting them first in everything. That talks a lot about the great person you are 👏
    2
  3936. I never thought Rick would make a video about a musician from My country, Argentina. Of course, it had to be the greatest one, just that. Haha. Thanks again Rick!
    2
  3937. You probably already know how much people appreciate you Rick. You truly are the best!
    2
  3938. Algorithm fix: if publisherName = “Rick Beato” then doNotBlock
    2
  3939. I always thought your channel was amazing but this tribute was sublime. Your channel is not just about music. It is about life itself. Thank you for the simple honesty about depression and suicide. Two people in my life whom I love deeply have come close to it. My brother, the closest person to me in the world, seemed to be getting passed his problems and the danger was receding when he made his attempt and barely survived. The amnesia related to his ABI has probably helped but the danger away forever, but the effect lingers. Respect to you Rick Beato. My sincere condolences to Johnny Diamond’s family, friends and anyone who knew him.
    2
  3940. Thank you sir. As the world’s oldest metal head I thoroughly enjoyed watching a true master at work. The fun you were having was contagious. I didn’t know a single one of those bands. However, like another person said “I see metal I click “. Again, thank you for allowing me to tag along. Peace
    2
  3941. I’m not sure who was more moved by this interview, me watching, or watching you doing the interview. You were pretty freaking cool, but I could tell you were totally taken by the experience. Thank you Rick! Cheers!
    2
  3942. Sheeiittt!! Man, Rick you are like the Smithsonian, when it comes to to keeping truly good IMPORTANT music alive!
    2
  3943. Bro, this video is mentioned in the Wikipedia article for the song already.
    2
  3944. Whoa. Seeing Ward and Rick in the same room is like Spock showing up in the cockpit of the Millennium Falcon.
    2
  3945. Haha! Thanks Elliott!!!
    2
  3946. Did I just nerd out with Pat Metheny and Rick Beato?
    2
  3947. The best thing about You Tube was when purely by chance I found a Rick Beato vid of What Makes This Song Great. Had no idea who this guy was, but I was hooked and subscribed by the end of it. You have kept me sane whilst working from home all through lockdown and now beyond. Thank you
    2
  3948. Rick IS the best music guy on You Tube, { in case someone thinks I'm complaining.}
    2
  3949. HA! I should have at least watched the first 3 seconds...
    2
  3950. Thank you Rick, genuinely appreciate how you are using the powerful platform you have attained. At this point it seems you might be the only person left in the the music industry, trying to nurture actual MUSIC... Alan is fantastic.
    2
  3951. I just Love how you put Matters in perspective - and in place ;-)
    2
  3952. Such a great interview, Rick. I wasn't a huge R.E.M. fan but really enjoyed your talk and responses. You bring out the best in folks!
    2
  3953. I like one of the first things that Hans Zimmer said to Rick..."It's wonderful to talk to someone who's actually interested in guitars, and art, and stuff like that."
    2
  3954. "...only agreed to the project if we could donate the proceeds to Music For Children." You are a class act all around. My order is placed.
    2
  3955. Wow, with everything focused on the anxieties relating to covid 19, this video replaced the doom & gloom with inspiring music via the Ionian lession. Once again, special tx to RB for giving us some inspiration.👍😃
    2
  3956. Never cared much for Sting. That changed during the last hour. Mesmerizing
    2
  3957. Got my lip trembling when Tom and Rick started talking about leaving something for their kids. Great guys, and great interview.
    2
  3958. normally one follows the rule, never read the comments on the internet, especially on utoob but there is so much joy here it was hard to stop reading all the people agreeing about how awesome this was. really deep truths here, beyond the technical stuff, the philosophy of music expressed here is profound food for thought, and yes can apply to other arts and endeavours, Rick you are killing it with these, I hope you live to be very old and keep doing this, there are a lot of great players out there to interview! lastly, I heard you say you had no plans to do a guitar album, but this made me really want you to, I've heard you play, one wonders why are you practicing and growing as a player if not to play for others? put your money where your mouth is and for fcks sake do a guitar album man. you're so great. well you'll do what you want, but I know I'm not alone in wanting to hear an instrumental album from you. keep it up!
    2
  3959. Steve Lukather of Toto, buried next to Toto from the Wizard of Oz, being great for business on the Roosevelt Cemetery Tour... I about died laughing...
    2
  3960. I've said it before and I'll say it again: Rick Beato, you are a master interviewer. Journalism students: listen and learn.
    2
  3961. Thank you! What a beautiful song. Great writing!
    2
  3962. Your interviews are just the best…. I know everyone tells you that, but it’s true 👏👏👏👏outstanding 👌🥂
    2
  3963. I felt like I was in a chat with friends. I laughed like I was in the studio with you guys. The power of knowing all of you from videos. What a great show in the form of hangin' out. Rick, kudos. Uncle Larry, never better. Guthrie, sir . . . Nashville's finest. Together? Look out!
    2
  3964. Interviews like this one is how you earn 4.6M subscribers.
    2
  3965. First, I saw 58:42 and thought no way. I can't sit here for all that.... ....I have no interest in stepping out. I even replay some great parts. These two guys are great and Rick you are the best at interviewing artists. You know their art AND their particular music. You can actually participate intellectually but, still guide the conversation and let them speak their mind on a particular subject. This is fantastic.... ...okay, I'll continue watching the interview. Sorry for the interruption.
    2
  3966. This week has been a gift to us all. I mean who's next, Rick?
    2
  3967. Unbelievably great interview Rick getting Sting to open up about his songwriting process I've watched this interview 4 times your questions are so insightful!
    2
  3968. This is exactly why I don't go to the gym.
    2
  3969. I see how most people think Sting is quite full of himself, not full of life and color during an interview in comparison with e.g. Neil Peart, or Peter Frampton, but after hanging through this interview I don't think he means to be like that, perhaps just a personality thing or attitude shaped by countless repetitions of questions by less experienced interviewers who are just playing off his popularity and in turn, wearing his patience. Sometimes it takes a lifetime for some to just stop, look around, and be thankful for what they were able to achieve. After all, good fortune comes from dedication and hard work, but a little bit of luck by being in the right place at the right time certainly helps.
    2
  3970. Another wonderful interview. The level of comfort Rick is able to create allows these world class artists, but also human beings, to open up -- which is probably something they dont do often. Interviewing is a skill, and Rick does it with real aplomb - Thank You Rick! Christopher Cross was one of those artists i always enjoyed but, never even knew what he looked like -- It was great to het to know him...if just for a short while. He is a legendary cat.
    2
  3971. Shine on you crazy diamond
    2
  3972. These have gotta be the best stories I've heard on the channel.
    2
  3973. Rick I watch your videos because you are so dayum enthusiastic all the time whether or not your lists are my lists or not. Carry On!
    2
  3974. You should change this to "Rick Beato Saves Music". Bringing Joni Mitchell to the kids. You're like the musical Moses from the mountain.
    2
  3975. Fuck this was brilliant! How good is Rick as an interviewer? He asks all the right questions. Questions that musicians want to know the answers too. Huge thank you to Rick and Mike. Michael Stipe next 😊
    2
  3976. I seem to have gotten something in my eye at the end there... (When Freddie blows a kiss to the audience.) Another great video, Rick!
    2
  3977. Gibson with P90's tuned to drop B - now that's classy!
    2
  3978. I sub'd today, I've seen you a few times, but seeing this video, to know that you FEEL the warmth of this song, and the engineering of it, and back then on analog equipment... I think this song is very well done. I'm an 80s rocker by heart, but I appreciate many genres, and this song, lyrically and musically and engineered so well. 5* Thanks for what you. do.
    2
  3979. 2:38 “I could make a video right now on a topic that I know will get millions of views and I’m making this video instead” Video still gets millions of views 😉
    2
  3980. that you know those solos by heart is remarkable. that a guy laid down a groove you could hang your hat on time after time, exquisite. love your channel because you really care. thanks for the news and inspiration. Ü ♫
    2
  3981. The room looks fantastic
    2
  3982. Beato, I've read countless books and interviews from the guest you've had, but I just want to say what you're doing for the prosperity of the music is hands down one if not the best things to ever happen to it other than its original recording, thank you!
    2
  3983. One of the BEST interviews ever! Thank YOU Rick!
    2
  3984. "Kip Winger calls me up..." stuff like this is what makes this channel great.
    2
  3985. I struggle to teach my 10yo about music history, without bias, and along comes "Image Rock". This is the term the world has been waiting for. I now have the tool to properly speak music history language. THANK you. And Rick, keep the content coming, you and your ilk is the new wave of informative media. Tell Rhett I said Hi.
    2
  3986. I really love your channel Rick. You’re the closest to a music school I can get. Being born poor on a Third World country, I couldn’t get into music school or build a music career. Anyway, I wish we could be friends too.
    2
  3987. Makes my jazz 11/52's seem like telegraph area haha.
    2
  3988. Alan is amazing! His Bach arrangements and performance are stunningly beautiful! Thank you for sharing him with us. Definitely going to follow him.
    2
  3989. Oddly enough, I was just re-obsessing over "Maybe As His Skies Are Wide" for the last two days and this interview drops in my lap. Wow, wow, wow. Rick you have always done quality work but the interviews from the past 24-months have just been something else. Incredibly special, thanks SO much!
    2
  3990. Greatest Rick Rubin interview. Beato is a master interviewer.
    2
  3991. Rick you are a steady beacon of light in the chaos of the internet. Top work man.
    2
  3992. I’ll be honest if you didn’t tell me which was Rick or Tony I couldn’t tell a difference.
    2
  3993. Rick, I’m coming over…
    2
  3994. I have to agree with Rick Beato who is an amazing musician in his own right so when I saw his post I thought I should watch it before seeing Get Back! I have to say I agree with Rick although I have not seen Get Back yet... but one thing I always knew intuitively and used to try to get bands and writers to do was to not settle for mediocrity in their music when they could spend a little time developing their tunes because that is the way everything including songs improve! Unfortunately, most bands never work their songs enough through the writing and production stage to where they have the possibility to go from decent to good to great! Many people have no idea how the processes of creating music and films can vary because most of them only see or hear the end result. It is a fascinating thing to witness... So whether you are a musician or not this is a chance to be a fly on the wall of what in my humble opinion is the best of the best example of creating magical music! I think I will get to watch some of it tonight, hopefully... maybe? Thank you Rick for your thoughts!
    2
  3995. Mark my words. This video will turn out to be one of your most viewed ever
    2
  3996. Dear Mr Beato, your exposure and documentations of all quality music and its great masters is unmeasurable. Your passionate work has a historic importance in this fluid period where true classical quality and beauty are being easily forgotten and exchanged for illusional fashions. Your dedication, depth, all around eclectic knoldege and human spirit are more meaningful and powerful than any archive, tv program, social platform or academic curricula. I only hope, on behalf of many music lovers and new talents to come, that these golden seeds will expand globally and become a monumental treasure for all humanity. Thank you!
    2
  3997. Rick, You are, by far, my favorite music teacher on YouTube. I never cease being amazed at what I learn even from watching the same videos repeatedly. Thank you for being awesome 😎
    2
  3998. I like reading comments here because actual conversations happen. This is a haven for genuine human beings. Good on you Rick and happy birthday Steve Brown, keep on inspiring :)
    2
  3999. HA! 62 here Rick and I STILL love playing UFO, MSG, Judas Priest, Boston, Kansas, Kiss, Rush, AC/DC and more. And I really enjoy learning some new stuff too, e.g., Sabaton.... so yeah, riff away Rick! May you live to be 120 and still be a rocker at heart!
    2
  4000. The key, I think, to these interviews, is that the details of these historic sessions are made immediate through the medium, ie, a YT video, instead of having to plow through books where similar secrets have been revealed over the decades. It just doesn't get any better than this. Thank you, gentlemen.
    2
  4001. Don't forget Totos' debut album!
    2
  4002. My son ran into Rick and Tim in Starbucks at the NAMM show and they were extremely nice to him. Rhett on the other hand was rude. I saw him a few times, he was miserable. Very good looking wife
    2
  4003. Dear Rick, I noticed in the background that you have your pedals sorted by color. However, the order of the colors in the rainbow is different. Instead of going from blue> green> red> orange> yellow, can you please change the arrangent to red> orange> yellow> GREEN> BLUE? Much appreciated!
    2
  4004. That video of Oscar Peterson is one of those rare videos, where a true musical giant releases the kraken, so to speak. A good comparison is Miles Davis live version of Walkin' from the 60's, where Miles plays fast and hard. When it comes to piano playing, almost in any style, there will never ever be another one like mr.Peterson. Peterson was like Buddy Rich, Jimi Hendrix, Ella Fitzgerald, Jaco Pastorius etc,etc. These people come around only once, so enjoy the time you got with them. Play it again,mr.Peterson, one mo' time! From the top, boys!
    2
  4005. Thank god (and Rick) for this channel. It’s a collection of content I couldn’t even dream of. Thomas Newman, Maynard, Derek trucks, lukather, nuno, I mean it goes on— all the grunge heroes (best era of heavy music imho). I mean just fkn awesome. Thank youuuuuu!!
    2
  4006. Steve is such an achetype of musical drumming... a true hero! That makes me think that Rick's mission here: man, you are capturing real and deep images of giants, gods and mythological beings of a parallel world that is so close, while the maelstrom of everyday life and the consumerist world makes us feel that it is as lost as pre-flood culture... You have become the greatest recuperator and what is really valuable for the new world that has so many ways of communication, but sometimes so little to communicate. Your work with these interviews is really a work of illumination to the new generations!
    2
  4007. Conversation as defined by Merriam-Webster: "an oral exchange of sentiments, observations, opinions, or ideas". Rick has taken this to an art form - He is informed, inquisitive, polite, patient but most of all he exhibits an earnest desire to learn something from his guests. And in doing so, this is something he can add to his fund of knowledge to ask an even better question in his next conversation. Incredible work Sir, thank you.
    2
  4008. I understand Rick, I lost my mom 3 weeks ago, she died from covid, she played piano and violin. Love from France. Don't worry, they still live elsewhere.
    2
  4009. What you are offering is so special Rick! For music lovers everywhere, across all genres, and to dive deeply into the lives and spirit of artists, composers in all times and places, truly a fantastic offering! Gratitude
    2
  4010. You missed the chance to end the video with "stay tuned"
    2
  4011. This is your best video ever.
    2
  4012. I had a crappy day/night at work after a bad thunderstorm at midnight in my area made a lot of people lose quality sleep. I got home and put on my Bohemian Rhapsody movie t-shirt with Rami’s face on it and then this came up on my Facebook feed. It’s such a great and serendipitous treat.
    2
  4013. You can tell they are friends just watching how comfortable they are with each other
    2
  4014. Rick, you're a great interviewer. I love the obscure questions you ask, noone else even thinks of.
    2
  4015. Even if it wasn't available I needed this level of info back in the 70's when I was a young teenager learning. Thank you Rick this stuff is gold!
    2
  4016. Drowning Man by U2 is another great 2 chord song. You have already talked about that song in another video.
    2
  4017. 🇨🇦 Fantastic, what a in depth reference piece this will be...forever, thank you Rick Beato.
    2
  4018. Rick, this may be your finest video. And, you've made a lot of fantastic ones. This song and many more by Joni sends shivers up my spine. And I cried as well.
    2
  4019. Rick your guitar style is amazing
    2
  4020. The video was so overwhelming that I had to take a break and get som air. Wow! What and episode!
    2
  4021. I'd vote for this as the best video on YouTube. And I know I'd not be the only one to do it if we could.
    2
  4022. I've been subscribed to your channel for a while now, Rick and really enjoy your videos, especially the song breakdowns. I also really enjoy your enthusiasm. Anyway, just wanted to tell you that that is a very good song . Right, back to the video, I just took a break to write this. Keep up the good work, Rick.
    2
  4023. I love when u post videos like this! It shows us new music we certainly wouldn’t have come across..I’m still loving “for Mia”
    2
  4024. I can understand the Gibson people coming running in - guitar timber seems to age quickly in Tommy’s hands
    2
  4025. really important message here, I didn't know that Bach chacconne could sound that aetherial and that's saying something
    2
  4026. Rick Beato is exactly what all the guitar magazines should have become on YouTube. Great interviews, breakdowns of songs and techniques, one of the best.
    2
  4027. That is EXACTLY what a Rick Beato AI would say!
    2
  4028. This video I can kind of relate to in school life. I have autism, where i have difficulty having social interaction, whether somebody new or in a group. I basically was the silent one in class, however what helped was my family and some of my teachers saw potential in me for putting in effort, because I was basically trying to focus. Downside I felt like some people (who I don’t know/don’t know me) they look at me and think I’m bad news because I don’t talk much, again I don’t really know what to say or what to socially engage to. When school was done, playing music and flight simming helped.
    2
  4029. Inspirational. Your enthusiasm is a definite key for drawing people into what your talking about. I've always been fascinated by period music and have heard of John Dowland during my study years. But your references to Bream and Sting have rekindled my passion for Renaissance. Great presentation, Rick.
    2
  4030. 2 things... Rick you may not really have thought of this, but you are creating water cooler conversations between people like we used to have back in 90s and before. Where people were watching same content and then catching up the next day with friends. It just hit me today, I got a group of co-workers and band mates and friends who are literally sharing conversation about the latest Rick Beato vid. Sharing the links, talking about the song, then how it was made.. and having the actual artist like Seal on there, pretty cool stuff people are sharing - because you have taken this on. Second thing... since you have broken the sound barrier by doing EP104 on Pink Floyd, consider in near future doing Dogs from the Animals album. I think that is not only a great song, but would provide some good educational content.
    2
  4031. I’m loving this, and becoming at least one more monthly listener. Good looking out, Rick.
    2
  4032. I have the same YouTube issue watching Rick.... video after video after video.... some over again lol
    2
  4033. Mr. Beato - I don't have to know you personally to feel deeply for your loss. What an amazing tribute to a most lovely lady who it seems anybody would have been better off to have known. The joy beaming from your face during the video clip of the two of you speaks volumes. Thank you for sharing this and for reminding us of the importance of family connection, and the blessing some of us have to share music with our most loved ones. "Don't be afraid to bark."
    2
  4034. I love the translatable life lessons in this video. It's not about what happens to you, it's about what you decide to do with those happenings that matter.
    2
  4035. P90s underrated as pop punk pickups.
    2
  4036. Ron is f* hilarious to boot. In middle of cracking up I snap to and realize I'm listening to a living legend casually recalling interactions with other legends. He was there for everything 😲 I almost wanna cry this is so beautiful
    2
  4037. This was, above all, an absolute masterclass in interviewing!
    2
  4038. 2:04 - 2:11 - Freakin incredible!...You sounding like an exact Pat Metheny duplicate!!! Phrasing, tone, note choices....Wow...PS: It's obvious You're still a badass guitarist, sounding probably even more original style-wise, as I can hear from the short but awesome ideas on the Instagram clips you show here. Thanks for sharing.
    2
  4039. Interesting, here Yngwie seems to be aware that this Channel is about serious music, and serious conversations. He´s kind of different here. More adult.
    2
  4040. Yes music used to be an active pursuit and now it is passive.
    2
  4041. before watching the video, i just want to say that this guitar looks gorgeous
    2
  4042. Rick's work must be preserved as valuable historical records. Not much I can add beyond the endless glowing comments below. Rick, the quality, authenticity, and value of your channel and interviews are invaluable.
    2
  4043. This is the best video interview on the whole Internet/YouTube. It should be shown in schools and college courses, under the title: “The rise of the New Romantics”, on how 2 brilliant and creative minds can make magic happen in front of a coffee cup by talking about their passions and life long experiences bringing wisdom to everyone.
    2
  4044. Pure bliss. I learned so much from this and I immediately rushed to the piano. I can‘t think of a better thing to do after experiencing a video. Thank you both!
    2
  4045. I can’t tell you how helpful this video was for me. It gave me like five things that immediately improved the sound of my recorded drums. For real man, thank you 🙏🏻
    2
  4046. The BEST one yet. Damn....Thanks Rick
    2
  4047. Rick, with these kinds of videos you're putting money in the pockets of musicians everywhere--no matter their level of expertise. Fantastic. Thank you professor!
    2
  4048. All of a sudden, playing the electric guitar looks very easy LOL. Thanks for another awesome video Rick, never heard of such great bass player like that before.
    2
  4049. Rick it's a rare talent to be able to talk into a camera like you're talking to a person sitting in the room and you make us all feel that way. Just saying bro. Peace
    2
  4050. Rick, I'm 35 and I grew up watching Vh1 to get all of my Rock music history. Behind the music (huge influence), top 100 lists etc. In the mid 2000's all of that content went away with reality TV shows. Your channel is really providing invaluable content to rock and all music lovers. Keep up the great work. Im always recommending your page to friends. All the best and thank you - Ray
    2
  4051. I've been trying to learn the drums to Kid Charlemagne for the few months, and keep stumbling on the fills. Some sound like a really standard descending tom fill, while others are much more interesting and go up and down in pitch in a way that I haven't been able to really get. Now I see why: the way he reverses the rack toms makes it much easier to do things like the fills in that song (and, as another example, the fill at 1:09:14) with a very simple sticking. Just that insight by itself was a golden nugget take-away from this interview. Thank you Rick.
    2
  4052. HAPPY 100TH RICK !!!!!! THIS WAS AMAZING... From an INCREDIBLY AMAZING guitarist... . Would LOVE to know how long it took you to get down ALL of those solos !!!!! Peters phrasing is just MINDBLOWING ( As well as his choice of notes..). THIS should be MANDATORY listening to kids that just want to "SHRED" at 100 MPH...LOL... ALL HAIL PETER...
    2
  4053. Cool, what is great about it is that it is nostalgic, entertaining, educational and just creative. Great Idea Rick.
    2
  4054. Tell me I'd watch an 82 minute video about film composition and I'd tell you I don't have the time. But Rick's insightful questions coupled with Thomas' humility and practicality made this entire video fascinating. I literally paused it to fetch water.
    2
  4055. I was prepared to be uninterested. I was dead wrong. Great vid Rick! Looks great with the other camera as well! Thanks!!!
    2
  4056. Oh...how I LOVE this man...Sting has always been a huge inspiration to me...and, totally right on, Rick...he is most definitively 'uncopyable'!!!! What an EPIC interview...💗💗💗
    2
  4057. Rick, I just wanna say thank you so much for this moments and interviews. Brings me a lot of memories. When rock music is dying in a kind of way, this is so majestic. Onde again, thank you very much my friend..
    2
  4058. What makes Rick Beato great? Progressive metal, alternate tunings and Beethoven all in the same week!
    2
  4059. Everyone’s complaining on the selection in the comments. This is simply Rick’s selection and I thoroughly enjoyed the covers, Jason, what a voice! Proud to be a Jason. Hope to see more from the band!
    2
  4060. One of the most amazing feats of artistry I've ever witnessed...........
    2
  4061. The ultimate songwriting grift - to skim ideas off of songs from a prior generation and repackage them to the current one, hoping they're too young to recognize the theft.
    2
  4062. Rick is such a great interviewer: Doesn't make it about himself, allows the guest to go on some interesting tangents, then reels them back in at just the right time, and asks pertinent questions. I really enjoyed this interview.
    2
  4063. Thank you Rick! The fact there's a youtube channel where I can watch a Metallica song deconstructed and then an interview like this with Al. Your theory lessons have helped me immeasurably also, this channel could of been made for me specifically, its so perfect.
    2
  4064. Wouldn't want him to be interviewed by anyone other than you Rick. Really great show.
    2
  4065. Dude, you and your channel are the best on YouTube
    2
  4066. Man you have to be my favourite person hear about music from. At this stage, everything you say holds so much value.i dont mean that as in it holds value to just me, it's that it's obvious to others that you have lead a life of loving music, and you spread that positively. You're so objective and considerate to what's going on. You always convey a healthy example of appreciation for someone who loves music. Watching your videos always brings me back home to my core love for sounds. That's my favourite thing about you. i absolutely love how you keep it real. Whether it be a lesson, or you own opinion (you're right, you do understand and your explanation is not only academically engaging but it's valuable in the sense of insight alone). I love how I can come to your videos and feel as though I have learned something, had my spirits lifted, and feel like ive gained tools to appreciate more. Thanks for being my number 1 teacher even if ya dont know!
    2
  4067. Rick, don't give up on "what makes this song great." That is what got me hooked in the first place! Everything else is just gold.
    2
  4068. I love this and your thought, ‘an interview is as long as it needs to be.’
    2
  4069.  @RickBeato  great! I just bought the Line 6 Helix and got it yesterday after 10 years of playing the Boss GT-10. I love it already! Thanks for the link!
    2
  4070. This has to be the best life story I've ever heard Rick. Thank you!
    2
  4071. Damn! I make YouTube videos about music too, and then I see yours, and they’re always soooo good! What a great story! 🙌🏼
    2
  4072. How can I watch a two hour video of two guys just sitting in a room talking, yet I still get disappointed when it’s over? It makes no sense! Thank you Rick.
    2
  4073. Rick is simply on a mission to make sure the craft of music is documented for future generations. Just like other craftspeople are sharing their gifts and insights on YouTube. Future musicians will be damn thankful for this. Rick’s YouTube channel is the music equivalent of the Library of Alexandria.
    2
  4074. I've never listened to Joni before I saw the video... Way to go WMG, idiots!
    2
  4075. @3.58 new color for the signature model? nice
    2
  4076. Rick... you just got my old 67 year old blood coursing at 100 mph! Great to hear and see different takes on this classic music!
    2
  4077. I really like that Rick casually credits his own "first guitar teacher" for the fingering he's demonstrating. He knows heaps of stuff, but doesn't pretend to be omniscient, and always acknowledges the giants whose shoulders he stands on.
    2
  4078. That's the beauty of a Rick Beato interview, they're all like this. Some of my favorite musicians have sat down with him, producers, etc. Alan Parsons, Sting, Pat Metheny, Michael McDonald, Joe Satriani, and so many others.
    2
  4079. What a fabulous interview, Mr Beato, such an interesting guy to listen to and oh so talented. And may I say you are a great interviewer, letting Rick tell his tales without unnecessary interruption. Good on you sir - more like that please.
    2
  4080. If I didn't yell at clouds, who would? When I make the clouds cry, that's rain. Your welcome.✌️
    2
  4081. It's no surprise Rick Beato brings out the best of people, no matter who it is. It works for Beato because he's a musician and a fan. His videos on why a song is great, bring the same results...as always another great Rick Beato journey. This interview isn't any different or a surprise to me.
    2
  4082. Though I haven’t commented on hardly any of Beato’s videos in the last few months, and though I do watch them all, some multiple times as will occur with this one, I must say that this is one of the very best!! Perhaps this one simply appeals to me personally more than others do for other folks that are Rick Beato fans/subscribers (as am I), but again with all of Dweezils discussions, samples, points and descriptions, like I said, this one just really hit home and is, IMHO, one of Rick’s Very Best!!!! WADR, A_N
    2
  4083. I realise you’ve probably got way too many comments to ever read, but for what it’s worth - thank you Rick (and team) for a great video and an amazing channel. Rick has become one of the greatest music educators on earth, genuinely inspiring.
    2
  4084. I have followed him on Spotify & YouTube. Thank you for showing us this artist.
    2
  4085. Rick, Just had to add one more voice to the chorus of amazed admirers. There is nothing like this anywhere. As we wait for the muse to come back, we at least have these great conversations to tide us over. Take a bow,
    2
  4086. Thank You for a Monday evening entertainment. I think you are one of the best interviewers EVER as the questions you ask are the ones I have! Thank You Brendan for taking the time, much appreciated.
    2
  4087. Literally the name of the song is Now and Then. Last century and this one. Apt
    2
  4088. That's one heck of an awesome interview. Really too much to comment on, but I wanted to give a shoutout to the way it finished! Very VERY classy... felt like the two Rick's just sat there for another 3 hours talking music and listening to suggestions from each other. Love it.
    2
  4089. My education by Rick Beato: Goes on and on. Have all the courses, plus more and more conversations with the maestros. Could not be better. Thank you.
    2
  4090. Nice to see Rick being appreciated! (I see those jordan 1 mochas 👀)
    2
  4091. Rockin’!!!
    2
  4092. This makes me want to learn how to play guitar.
    2
  4093. Dear Rick, I really like and respect your appreciating, humble, joyful ,and honouring approach to the musicianship and work of your fellow musicians – although imho you are a musical heavy weight yourself! Merry Christmas to you and your beloved ones!! And keep up the good work! You're a blessing, man. greetings from Germany
    2
  4094. Good eposode!
    2
  4095. My vote for best YouTube video of the year 😃👏🏻🎸🎤🎹🥁
    2
  4096. your video editing skills and attention to detail are probably the most underrated part of an awesome channel.
    2
  4097. It's not often I cry 3 times during an interview...or late for work, hell ,I paint and make guitars.thank you for a wonderful day Derek and Rick...P.S. Col. Bruce guessed my birthday when I met him....
    2
  4098. It’s hard to inspire by words in a overly cynical world, but you do just that by your honesty, and skill in front of a camera, you are a good story teller Rick, thanks for allowing us in, and sharing valuable life lessons. Gold standard my man👍
    2
  4099. another wonderful Rick Beato List Thank You Rick
    2
  4100. I would like to know which one of these ten. Was Rick’s favourite and which was his least favourite.
    2
  4101. what i love about your interviews man is you have such wonderful questions and you really listen to the answers. This and the Ron Carter ones were so interesting. Keep up the good work brother. Love from the UK
    2
  4102. I think I enjoyed this episode more than any of the previous ones, Rick, and I enjoy the rest of them very much. Gordon Lightfoot's music has been a big influence on me for years. I loved the story of your brother teaching you to pick out and notice the various nuances in music, my dad used to do that with me too when I was a kid and it changed the way I listened to and enjoyed music. Excellent video, keep up the good work.
    2
  4103. A great conversation, I felt I was sitting on the other couch in the room with Hans and Rick
    2
  4104. "I could make a video that could get a million views, but I wanted to make this one!" 6 hours later, over 300,000 views and number 11 trending! You had my heart going thinking that you were next! Do you really think my positive comments say nice things about me? I think you just have one of the best channels out there, even if I like a lot of other channels too! You are probably one of the BEST storytellers I've ever heard, and you have an encyclopedic knowledge of music and the business from a bunch of different angles!
    2
  4105. Wow , this has stunned me tonight.....so very sad. My journey through his music was very similar to Rick's. I remember about fifteen years ago or more walking into Catalina grill in Los Angeles in the middle of the day to purchase tickets from his concert that evening. As I walked in he was in the middle of a sound check and he looked up at me and I said to him, this better be good tonight I just drove two hours from San Diego to hear you. He stared at me for a moment and just gave me a big smile. After soundcheck he came over to me sitting at the bar counter and we just hung out and talked for over and hour about life and music. What an amazing and sweet man......one of my fondest memories of this lifetime. RIP Pat
    2
  4106. No drummer could have played that song any better. He is really good.
    2
  4107. Rick Beato gives us the September of his years in the month of August. And it is pure poetry. Thank you for sharing the beauty of your life.
    2
  4108. I'm embarrassed I've never heard this. its like Robert Pollard, Wallflowers, and a voice I've never heard, kinda like Rufas Wainwright Again, Rick . the love of a good melody never grows old
    2
  4109. This is the highest and best use of a medium like YouTube. Great showcase of a great artist.
    2
  4110. To see the love flowing out from your follower base to a man few if any knew is one of the few heartening aspects of social platforms. A lovely tribute Rick, the elderly are to be treasured, something far too many young people today have forgotten. I treasure my elderly friends and family, through experience they have so much we can learn and benefit from. Rest well Peter Smart.
    2
  4111. Rick's interview style is so good, he follows the flow of the conversation and asks all the right questions and some we wouldn't have thought of. Well done Rick
    2
  4112. My favorite line . Paul changes the verse to "Jo Jo left his home in Tucson, Arizona" . John asks , "Is Tucson in Arizona"?
    2
  4113. SUCH GREAT CONTENT! Love this channel.
    2
  4114. This is quality Rick! Thank you! Thank you!!!! :D (Donated). ;)
    2
  4115. So, this clip is demonetized and all the revenue goes to the publishers and zero to Rick?
    2
  4116. I heard music from a number of different cars, the other day. each and every one had heavilly auto-tuned vocals, all from seemingly different vocalists. it left me with a thought: " can they record anything even half decent WITHOUT autotune? the further question I am left with is : how is, hearing that same vocal style over and over and over again, considered to be entertaining to so many????????
    2
  4117. Look: Rick is talking BIG PICTURE about POPULAR music. And in a BIG PICTURE way, POPULAR music (e.g. the music that is generally being listened to by the most people) has absolutely, 100% become more homogenous. This is an inevitable byproduct of music being easier and cheaper to make and market. (Another of Rick's points.) When you look at the music that was popular in the 60s or 70s or 80s, there was far less homogeneity. Why? Because music was so hard to make and market back then that we only heard the absolute best of the best. (Again, I'm talking BIG PICTURE—there are always exceptions!) Today it's impossible (even for music scouts and labels) to hear every new song on Earth and choose the best of the best. Add to this the inescapable fact that RISK is avoided like the plague by major studios now (another topic Rick has discussed), and it all adds up to a TON OF MEDIOCRITY. The percentage of the world's population today of artists who are truly great and truly innovative and unique (and cannot be imitated) has NOT gone up. It's still very, very low. We are not drowning in genius today (despite every new album being called "groundbreaking" or "fresh" by idiot music reviewers). I watch Bernth's response to Rick's video and agree with Bernth when he says there has never been a better time to be a musician. He's right! But that does NOT mean the number of great musicians producing truly great music has gone up exponentially. It hasn't. There's just a sh*tload more of bad, average, and just "good" music out there...but not a sh*tload more GENIUS music out there.
    2
  4118. Rick, your channel is literally my jam as I sit and work!
    2
  4119. The singer Joe Pizzulo is my step fathers brother.
    2
  4120. My perfect pitch went down almost a whole step when I was around 45. The only plus is it no longer bothers me to hear music transposed or played on an off-speed turntable or tape machine. I hadn’t heard about it disappearing altogether, so thank you Rick. It helps to know ahead of time what is to come.
    2
  4121. This is further proof that Rick Beato is the most vital, relevant, and coolest person on YouTube.
    2
  4122. Rick: mixing videos are BoRiNg, they take so long... at leats 30 mins. Me: Ok, you got me, I'M DOWN!
    2
  4123. If any major artist watched the interview with Metheny, they would pick up the phone to book an interview. Now add Sting.
    2
  4124. Rick. Thank you for your sublime contribution to music.
    2
  4125. 😊 eu realmente prefiro o estilo Gilmour de tocar guitarra!😊😊😊❤❤ Obrigado, Rick! Outra grande entrevista.
    2
  4126. I have recorded Michael many times during my days as a jingle engineer. Sweet kind man.
    2
  4127. Love this, Rick!!
    2
  4128. While I do think music appreciation is at the heart of your channel I think it's also about people getting to listen to the wisdom of someone who's spent a lifetime learning.
    2
  4129. @RickBeato 🍻👍🏼 These interviews are unbelievably awesome and unlike anything else! The conversation is pure passion and it organically grows and breathes into something beautiful. These are time capsules of our icons said in their own words without an agenda. I was smiling the whole way thru listening to the stories and pure joy of the experiences. Thank you for sharing these with us. You are preserving history!
    2
  4130. Love this Hypes! Now I need to go work on the Bach Cello Suite!
    2
  4131. Wow, half of these singers screech and scream without anything special about their voices. Stephen Tyler?! Mick Jagger?! Big succesful bands but there's nothing special about the singing. Allanis Morisette, both AC/DC singers, Jim Morrison. Fun to listen to, but the singing is blah, blah, and more blah. Curt Cobain, influential? Most definitely! Good singer? Most definitely not (when did mumbling become singing?) Where's Geoff Tate? Greater range and purity of sound than anyone on this list. I've heard he can be a dick, but that shouldn't matter when talking about singing talent. Have you heard Davd Draiman sing? He's in a little band called Disturbed. Crazy powerful voice. While I don't know that I would include him in the top 20 greatest singers of all time, nobody is more dedicated to putting on a good show than Till Lindemann of Rammstein, and he has some serious power in his voice too. At least you got Chris Cornell.
    2
  4132. i am going to fly to atlanta and take you for lunch and tell you the impact you have had on my life and also pay for your time as an advisor. this will happen i love you rick! you are wonderful
    2
  4133. The second you picked up that neosporin spray I said "oh no"...I did the exact same thing when my wife got one of those...sprayed it right in my face :).
    2
  4134. 200k peeps just learned about Joe Pass. Love it. Thx Rick.
    2
  4135. Am amazing What Makes this Song Great episode Rick. You've captured the essence of Joni's music in a just a few minutes so beautifully. Now, instead of struggling to convey how wonderful Joni's music is to friends who have yet to discover her music, I can simply refer them to this episode secure in the knowledge that they will get the best possible introduction ever. Thank you.
    2
  4136. Well, here I was finishing my lunch, with a quarter full glass of wine, and this just seemed like a bar table conversation which I've enjoyed immensely. It maybe the closest it gets from the actual situation in times like this. Thanks for that.
    2
  4137. I was waiting for this interview with Joe! Thanks Rick! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 😎🎸
    2
  4138. Sorry for that solo??? Ok I forgive you as long as you send me a plane ticket to you so I can watch you play that again!
    2
  4139. First "The recording of Roxanne is perfect..." then "The bass is too loud." Classic.
    2
  4140. That cat has a singing voice like a 19 year old. Impressive.
    2
  4141. I would totally watch the interview with that guy!
    2
  4142. Rick makes video that raises differences between how Swift makes and the Beatles made music and the comment section goes nuts. I don’t see this as critical of Swift as much as comparisons that are too simplistic to make. I really enjoy a lot of her music and have a preference for the Folklore/Evermore era but I realized, the more I got into those albums, that they are very much like The National’s albums i like best because those Swift albums have a lot of Aaron Dressners music in them. Dorothea (great song) is the exact same song as The Nationals Bobs Burger song for Pete’s sake. Rick gives her credit for her lyrics and melodies but I take his main point as just that we need to give credit to the very significant contributions made by her musician, song-writing producers. I think the Content Creator line at the end feels like a dig and maybe it is. But it is an interesting take on how music is made now vs then by a guy who knows a lot about the history of pop. Great video
    2
  4143. I've said it before and I'll say it again, best YouTube content creator on the planet, full stop.
    2
  4144. Just casually sitting in front of full Marshall and Orange stacks at point blank range in a studio for a "top 10" video. Only Rick Beato! :D
    2
  4145. Ok just finished watching it for the third time! Now a pause and then I'll watch it again😂. Rick ... a Michael McDonald interview would be fantastic.
    2
  4146. It's like they were sitting in my apartment , Kirk is so fucking real .... thank you Rick for just pointing him in a direction and letting him talk !
    2
  4147. My LOL moment was when he turned his guitar away so his buddy couldn't see his hands. I can imagine the tears of laughter over beers after the gig.
    2
  4148. Seeing one of Rick's interviews pop up creates a "must be watched now" impulse, and I always succumb! I am never disappointed!
    2
  4149. My late father, Warne Marsh, played and recorded with NHOP quite a bit. Thanks so much for this.
    2
  4150. The accolades for Frampton & Co. pore in, and deservedly so, but how 'bout Rick's OWN guitar tone? It's so f-ing stellar!
    2
  4151. I have a list of people that I would love to get to know, sit down and have a cup of coffee or lunch with them, most of them are celebrities, musicians and actors, for different reasons. People that I truly admire for a specific reason. And I have to say that Rick made into that list. He is just amazing to hear.
    2
  4152. Rick made a video warning us about this very scam a month ago.
    2
  4153. Rick, your channel is a gift to us all. Bless you!
    2
  4154. "This Will Only End In Tears" is a masterpiece.
    2
  4155. It's a funny thing how people can enter our lives and have such a profound effect, sometimes in a seamless way as if they were always there. We often only realize the full impact in retrospect. I'm glad you found Peter, and vice versa. Friendship across generational divides speaks deeply of character. Sorry for the loss of your friend, and thank you for sharing.
    2
  4156. Rick, i listen to your top 10 Spotify video analyses with my 11-year-old daughter. Great bonding time.
    2
  4157. You manage to bring authenticity to a scripted TV show! That is awesome and rare. But not surprising to us, your YT followers. So happy that I stumbled upon your channel, you always make me smile.
    2
  4158. I usually just sit in awe during most of your videos. I love them all, but this is beyond awesome! More please 🙏
    2
  4159. I love and respect ricks channel for the simple fact that he’s a Older gentlemen that respects modern music and guitar players.
    2
  4160. This is just another reason that I L O V E this channel God bless you Master Beato
    2
  4161. Always wondered what was in the background while watching hundreds of your videos. And btw, i'm 73 Rick and 60 is not "an old guy." I remember when you had 400k subscribers. Congrats on 3 million.
    2
  4162. Depressing. The downside of the technical savvy generation is the rapid production of high volumes of "spray and pray" low effort content (I'm loath to call it music). It's all about the "likes" and monetizarion not about producing anything of enduring quality. Shame
    2
  4163. So.. never heard of Tommy Emmanuel. Started watching.. after the song at 09:25 I had to type his name on Google to learn more about the guy. The first link was advertising a show he's doing in my town next month. Clicked it and bought two tickets kind of without thinking. I don't know what happened.. i just knew i wanted to take my fiancee to that concert.
    2
  4164. Such a dream come true to see your dream come true. Go Rick!!
    2
  4165. Seriously....your guitar collection is almost as impressive as your ability to nail and replicate each song! 😁
    2
  4166. Oh my, this is probably the greatest interview I have ever seen.
    2
  4167. Rick this was amazing! Ramble On is one of several iconic songs I strived to recreate as a beginning teenage guitar player in the mid-to-late 70s and beyond. I have never mastered it but I've always loved it, and enjoy playing my own simplified-crippled, really- version! This is a stunning recreation. You've done a phenomenal job reverse engineering what the geniuses of Led Zeppelin and their incredibly gifted producers created!
    2
  4168. Dude, you also had dinner with Leland Sklar!
    2
  4169. Rick, I can not get over the wealth of talent, knowledge, and ability to entertain. I think you are genuis. Thanks. I just discovered you a few weeks ago
    2
  4170. Dylan: "That's AI." Rick: "What? It is AI. How do you know that? Is it some high pitched thing that I can"t hear?" Dylan: "How do I know if I've never heard the song before?"
    2
  4171. Everybody needs a buddy name Smitty.
    2
  4172. "legacy bias"
    2
  4173. How does it get better than this? This whole video was ear candy, brain candy, curiosity candy, Zeppelin candy, vintage guitar candy, tone candy and all other kinds of candy. Rick has the strumming pattern nailed. The sheet music books don't have it just right. I have them all they're faking it. Great vid, Rick.
    2
  4174. Can you show us Mark's part when he enters, on your guitar? Somehow, your guitar solo must be taking CO2 out of the atmosphere and making forests grow.
    2
  4175. I hope at some part there will be a part 2. It is so important to document this stuff for future generations as unfortunately, Pat is not getting any younger and when he is gone, well, he is gone. Hard to quantify what an incredible loss that will be to the music ccommunity.
    2
  4176. With 2500 comments in 4 hours you’ll never see this. But anyway, what I hear you saying is you have a good measure of emotional maturity. Taking comments personally to the point that it hurts your feelings is a sure sign of ego involvement. You appear to be one who’s learned to take care of his own ego—boosting it when confidence is called for, trimming it when humility is wisdom—and so you are able to be detached from both positive and negative comments. What fascinates me about good-bye videos is that the makers seem to believe they must make one and often apologize or give reasons or excuses. Really, people? Each person is sovereign and owes no one else reasons for their personal decisions. They appear not to grasp: You do you. I’ll do me. No good-bye required.
    2
  4177. This is certainly a gift for us your followers that have been watching you for years!
    2
  4178. I'm one of those that watches and listens to you on YouTube and never comments. Even though I love what you do, have shared you and your channel with many of my family and friends, I'm just not a commnter. Today though, I just have to say a few things. It is hard when we loose our personal heroes. For me, the toughest one was my father. I could go on for hours, but this isn't about him, it's about you andAunt Penny. At first, the memories sting a little and you feel that swell of emotion around how much you miss her. Eventually, I promise, those memories become so sweet, tou smile whenever she comes to mind. The other thing I'll say is, I believe. I believe in the gospel and the saving and resurrection power of.Jesus Christ. I believe that families are forever, not just for this life but for the next. I will see and know my father again. We will enjoy and embrace each other forever. I believe the same is true for you and Aunt Penny. That belief gives me comfort. Comfort in knowing that this is not all just a happenstance or an accident. I know it isn't necessarily popular these days to declare these beliefs in today's world, but I do it anyway. Have faith Rick, and hold onto it and the beliefs I'm sure she taught you. I pray the the Holy Ghost will deliver peace and comfort to you and your entire family. Ya'll will be in my prayers for the next week. The only gift I can give you from after, but it is heartfelt.
    2
  4179. Great post! Huge Beethoven fan, especially Eroica Sym. #3 and Symphony #8, and the late quartets. It astounds me as well how he heard them, how he wrote them, but you brought up the question of why... Intriguing. I too suffer from tinnitus from lack of ear protection and a drummer who hit china boy cymbals with malice aforethought. Cannot imagine how he put all that aside and wrote some of the most deep, lasting and beautiful music ever produced in the Western tradition. Thanks for the commitment to your fans and the music.

  4180. I did not know of Tim until I seen him on your videos. Now I'm a proud subscriber of his too. His playing is like warm honey on a hot roll, on top of fresh made silk or something. 🤔

  4181. Nuno: writes coolest pop ballad ever, melts everyone's face for decades, married coolest rock lady ever, influenced millions of guitarists, waits ages, releases this with his old mates and just when everyone's faces have grown back "BAAAM" he melts their faces right back off. The guitarist's guitarist strikes again! Rick you are gold, I love how much you love the craft, the sounds and sharing your thoughts and you are brilliant at making the scary parts in songs we love approachable, regardless of the instrument being showcased. You're a Bloody legend Mr. Beato 🙏💪✌️🎸🙌.

  4182. More musical information dispersed in 6 minutes than the entirety of the rest of the web today...

  4183. Watching Rick reacting to unexpectedly great music has quickly become one of my favorite things.
    2
  4184. Mr. Beato I am a music teacher. You are so right about everything in this video. I think people are getting mad because they do not want to admit you are right. No one is a fan of the straight shooter. I love everything you do. Please keep doing what you are doing. You are awesome and amazing!

  4185. 🤘🤘🤘

  4186. This song is kinda ahead of its time
    2
  4187. I’m bookmarking 1:58 because I want to show a friend with whom I had a discussion with about click tracks, who was adamant that all songs are recorded with a click track, whilst i argued that the drummer can be instead of a click track to give it human feel. Thanks Rick.
    2
  4188. Beato, is a Swervedriver fan? Knew you were cool but that’s next level.
    2
  4189. When i closed my eyes I could see Peter play. This was awesome authentic
    2
  4190. I watched and of course listened to this video twice. You’re very kind in your analysis of these two songs. It certainly sounds like they lifted the Toto melody. During my second listen that auto tune really jumped out at me. I agree that it’s an effort to listen to all those artifacts. Love your videos, Rick!
    2
  4191. THE interview I’ve been waiting for! THE interview of the century! THE interview with my favorite musician! On my favorite channel! Thank you very much for making this happen, Rick!
    2
  4192. I don't get why Frampton, who is one of the greatest and most iconic guitarists in rock history with perhaps the best live rock album of all time is not in the rock n roll hall of fame.
    2
  4193. Well established.
    2
  4194. Wow ! Rick , your conversational style and knowledge set the scene to really get to the essence of David Gilmour . You could tell he enjoyed the interaction as we all did . Congratulations mate !!!
    2
  4195. I usually don't enjoy rants, but when it's backed up by such knowledge and wisdom it's well almost enlightening 😅 thnx rick!
    2
  4196. Rick, I am absolutely fascinated with the depth of your knowledge and skillset with practically any instrument...I "came back" to playing guitar, for the first time seriously, about 8 years ago...my dexterity has improved over my early years with a guitar and I feel as though there's nothing I can't learn. Bought the Beato Book and have arrived at the conclusion, my musical knowledge is so lacking, that it's probably too advanced for me! I keep plugging away. I'm a rhythm player in my band (and vocalist), but I'm working hard to bring more than just a rhythm background...I really need to pay closer attention to Instagram🙄
    2
  4197. Rick is single-handedly doing for music-greats what no one and nothing has ever done.
    2
  4198. So many incredible artists and talent here! Keith Jarrett and Daniel Lanois interviews particularly blew me away, I watched them many times. Thank for everything Rick.
    2
  4199. The band is clearly on board!
    2
  4200. Just started watching but I already want to appreciate lighting and camera work
    2
  4201. Sorry, Rick, I did get tendinitis and I do blame you. But not because I tried to learn this, it's because I was too busy flipping off the video because I know I could never play this and you just figured it out like someone else casually making a sandwich. My hand is ruined. But I still love you. Still a fan. Even though my finger is stuck in the perpetual "bird" position now.
    2
  4202. It´s Amazing as you say. We all come here for a particular reason. We all want to feel that what we believe or like or feel, matters and that there´s someone out there that thinks at least similar. "In my particular point of view" lol, you are the closest to my journey in music and I do appreciate your videos a lot. I learn from you( I bought your book), I grow as an artist and I feel very entertained. I almost can say that you are like that old friend that I can share my thoughts with. For all that thank you!
    2
  4203. Between your mom and your aunt Penny you had the exact people you needed to make sure that, combined with some hard work, you would find your way around the “learning problem.” I always told my kids “we just have to figure out how YOU learn.” I learned this on my own because I struggled to learn...ALGEBRA! I refused to give up and eventually figured out how I learned. Thanks for your open honest videos.

  4204. This was awesome! Watched it in one shot like a book you can't put down 🔥🔥🔥

  4206.  @RickBeato  Everybody doesn't like something. But nobody doesn't like Donna Lee lol. Unfortunately not everybody knows Donna Lee, but now thanks to you, many more will. I wish I had the chops and the facility to authentically duplicate this also. It's refreshing to hear that a man with your chops and versatility sits in awe of Jaco also. Such humility from a Talent like yourself. Thank You for posting this slice of musical Heaven on Earth. And RIP Jaco.

  4207. Guys, I need you to fully record ain't no sunshine. Please. Pretty pretty please.

  4208. Outstanding! Thank you gents.

  4209. Okay. After being a lurker for a couple years it's time to subscribe.
    2
  4210. I've only just discovered your channel - having just watched your 'Top 10 drop D guitar riffs' video. Then I watched this one, about your Aunt, and found it so moving. What a lovely woman; so funny, wise and down to earth - and very talented, too. I'm sorry for your loss. May you and your family find peace of mind and heart 🙂
    2
  4211. Me (10 seconds into the video): No way am I watching a 36 minute 1x1 interview Me (35 minutes into the video): They better make another one of these videos
    2
  4212. I don’t think you’ve really given it a listen. Holdsworth’s attention to sonic detail and overall production values is unparalleled. Because great music has great dynamic range, you should place what you’re hearing in a larger musical context before levying such a subjectively dismissive comment.
    2
  4213. Thank you for this one, Rick. I believe this album has perhaps Larry Carlton's best recorded playing - I mean I can't even begin to understand what he's playing on this song - it's on its own level - from the angels. I'm thrilled to know the tuning - now I can sort of play the song! Thanks, Rick!

  4217. Hey Rick, I'm the guy that moved the truck, let's talk about that signature guitar...
    2
  4218. I always knew that Jimmy’s a great drummer, but I didn’t know he was this good. He’s an absolute beast!
    2
  4219. I just found out I was playing this song wrong all the time.
    2
  4220. This is one of your best in the series because it's deeply informed by the discussions you had with the band. It's a very cohesive breakdown. I hope you permanently revive this series and do more songs. This type of educational content showcases your talent as a teacher, and I think it's the best way to learn active listening for musicians.
    2
  4221. Hey Rick! Just bought it! First of, you're a real gentleman to be so generous. I wasn't sure about a special, but man, it is a perfect guitar! And btw, those colors are my favourite.
    2
  4222. I was already a bit suspicious, hoped for Allan Holdsworth, clicked on your video, and was immediately redeemed. You're not Rick Beato for nothing. Great playing by the way.
    2
  4223. One of the most satisfying feelings I get is when I get through Creeping Death cleanly and in tempo. Correct tempo doesn't happen much these days. My 50 year old hands kind of go on strike if I play like that for too long. I don't know how the guys in the band can keep it going, night after night.
    2
  4224. This is also a masterclass for composers and song writers. Tuition free! As always Rick is the best.
    2
  4225. Great to see Ken on here and great test. Enjoyed until the end. When listening on my computer, it seemed like as the gauge became lighter, it became more difficult for me to hear distinction between some of the notes. Perhaps this has something to do with my unique hearing (e.g. hard for me to hear certain bass notes due to the volumes I used to play on stage)?
    2
  4226. Haha, I literally commented this on Rick's video on Pink Pony Club and the return of the guitar solo: "Rick's noodling in G major at 5 :33 was giving off serious Eric Johnson Cliffs of Dover vibes." Sorry if we're giving you a complex, Rick! Love your stuff - I live in Rochester and it's fun to see your photo up at Fairport Brewing Co when I go see open mics there.
    2
  4227. So cool to see you guys just chilling and talking about what you love. This is what it's all about.
    2
  4228. Thank you for helping to solve this mystery! I have heard Aunt Jeneane talk about that bass at the HOG many times firmly believing that it belonged to Grandpa Al. I’m glad it’s back in the family. 🎸 🎶 ❤️ — Russ Dimino

  4229. Yes, my strings were too new. Good call!

  4231. That was good, as a video. It is always comforting to watch content on YouTube that is true. You are a purveyor of truth Rick. More than the music, It's the honesty you bring.
    2
  4232. That was beautiful Rick! You've just given him the greatest tribute by sharing his story with us....
    2
  4233. As a metal guy I just wanted to thank you for introducing me to Joe pass and Oscar Peterson and jazz as a whole, I’m just so impressed. I never thought I could get into jazz but here I am.
    2
  4234. Amazing interview. Shame the A1 didn't know to scan the RF range for a free frequency for Pat’s mic. 🤦‍♂️ Next time you do one with wireless lavs, please ask the A1 to scan for a clear channel. If he doesn't know what that means, fire him and get someone who’s been doing it for at least a week.

  4235. Your jazz guitar playing is phenomenal. However, one grey dude in a black T shirt to another, "Bro, you got to drop a few pounds."

  4236. Great to have bumped into you at NAMM.
    2
  4237. How could anyone not realize what happened here? They could spend hours talking and we would be glued to them listening. When we are young, we listen to music, we listen to one or another piece of advice and we look for one or another reference from the past for our favorite music auditions, but ... after we grow up and reach the maturity of mid-life we ​​realize that there is a whole set of worlds that passed us by when we heard conversations like this. And as we hear the names, situations, technical devices and other revelations from that conversation, we take mental notes and go looking to learn more about these topics and are amazed at the experience these conversations contain for the past years with which they were formed. We could spend hours listening to them talk. Long live the old, for they leave us their wonderful reign.
    2
  4238. Clearly here just to hear you guys talk about whatever. The beauty of your channel, Rick, is the variety (music theory, what makes this song great, interviews) and - you ask the questions that no other interviewer would even think to ask. Rather than dig into personal foibles, feuds, trying for a “gotcha” - you ask what musicians and music <—- (can’t underline that here) fans want to know. Also, you come from a proven position of knowledge, and aren’t just casting about with buzzwords. You can follow up, dig in. It’s so good.
    2
  4239. Rick, thank you for bringing up the album art!
    2
  4240. Please make a video, “Why Paul McCartney won’t be on my channel” asap.

  4242. Thanks Rick, you've broken Jaco's solo down into understandable chunks of theoretical information. It's a great comprehensive guide. Before this, it was just 'how and what for me. Now I'm listening to it in a different way, so hip dude! :)
    2
  4243. I work in TV/Film production on huge budget shows and the reason I am here is because your content is fantastic. I have never felt cheated by the look of your show. You are a wealth of information and an incredibly interesting guy Love the show and all the knowledge you share with all of us. Thank you for that.
    2
  4244. Exceptional interview! Rick has done something everyone wants, to hear from the greats! I love how laid back he is as an interviewer. Been watching theses artist interviews for a while. All of them are great! Rick and his crew are good! To get Christopher to just grab a guitar and sing "Sailing" was the icing on the cake! Wow! Please keep doing this!
    2
  4245. Hey Rick, I hate to tell you, but you're a nerd too. Just embrace it. :-)
    2
  4246. This woman would wreck the Wrecking Crew, would make Clapton or Van Halen sit down and watch how it's done, would make every shredder put away their pretensions... Amazing is the correct term for her playing. Her fingers are a blur of speed, and she glances at the keyboard as it to say 'Is that the most difficult task you have? Poof!" I am so glad that there is such a virtuoso alive today and on YT. She teaches us that great composers once ruled the music world, a very small handful of men who were like herself geniuses at making music, yet none of them were greater than her. Ha, now I'm off on a Martha Argerich binge. Don't hold dinner... or breakfast either.
    2
  4247. That was freakin' GREAT! I loved your questions Rick. Of course knew it wasn't gonna be a Jay Leno / Johnny Carson stories-and-jokes kinda thing (as entertaining as that can be sometimes), I knew the questions would be substantive. What was extra cool was that they were RICK BEATO questions - by which I mean I could tell they were coming from some itch of curiosity that was decidedly Beato-esque in orgin <g>. I liked how they often put us, the listeners, in the recording studio or on the stage. Wonderful.
    2
  4248. Rick, we now need a video talking about all the old heads in this comment section. Would love to hear what you think about a lot of the genre gatekeeping going on.
    2
  4249. Rick, You always have something constructive to say. I appreciate all you do and get so much from your postings... thank you

  4250. As a neuroscientist and amateur guitarist, I find this video incredibly interesting

  4251. I think the 1st album was recorded in 1 day with Lennon finishing it off with "twist and shout".

  4252. I can count on one hand the number of times I've mourned the loss of someone I've never met. Aunt Penny is now one of them. I haven't started counting on my other hand yet. My deepest condolences to you and your family.
    2
  4253. This was the easiest 90 minutes of my day. Thank you for highlighting and sharing.
    2
  4254. This is a band that I truly don't like. I can't even finish the video. Sorry Rick. But I won't press dislike.
    2
  4255. Watching Rick is so satisfying… ☺️
    2
  4256. So so good!!
    2
  4257. Another Mind Blowing interview. Room full over LEGENDS. I finally bought your Beato Bundle, mainly to help support this kind of Amazing content. Keep them coming,, Please.
    2
  4258. I love you, Rick. Seriously! Your channel is informative for this old gal rocker from the 80s and 90s. I've been in rock and pop bands and even handled many as an agent for some time, but this is one time I just couldn't even finish a video. The music you're loving on is the hardcore processed sounds of today. And while I can appreciate how you found something positive in each song, I cannot fathom ever finding these songs as being either great, or good, or even listenable. This is my first-ever YouTube comment but it was important. My own daughter, a millennial, tries hard to listen to her music of today and can't do it for longer than two songs. She and I are constantly trying to appreciate something of these songs. I'm just glad you can do it because I cannot.

  4259. HOLY COW!!!

  4262. The only time I know the future is when I’m going to watch your videos. I like it before I see It
    2
  4263. G'day Rick. So glad you made this video. I was 26 when John was killed. I was in hospital recovering from a reasonably serious operation on my lung. But I was getting better all the time. I was a young man. An older guy in the bed opposite was listening to the radio. He said to me 'That Beatle feller has been shot'. I said 'Who? John Lennon?' He said 'Yeah'. I said "What - was he killed?' He said 'Yeah". It knocked the wind out of me. I cried for days - maybe weeks - maybe years. I couldn't hold it in. I was always grateful that my parents somehow understood just how hard his death hit me. They let me cry. They were better than I deserved. So Rick, I'm on the other side of the world and it looks fairly unlikely that we will ever meet. We're strangers. But I know you a little better today.
    2
  4264. Hearing you talk about your father that way brought tears to my eyes. It's a guy thing.
    2
  4265. A great in-depth interview of a legend. Rick should interview more bassists. I haven't heard an interview that focused and/or encompassing on just playing in over 30 years. Rick, thank you for not doing a fluff interview.
    2
  4266. There was something very musical about this Q&A. The depth of knowledge you brought to the dialogue allowed Pat to answer your questions with the same intensity and development he brings to his music. While you laid down the chords, he soared over the changes in his inimitable style...only this time with words. Well done.
    2
  4267. YAY!!! What an excellent idea...but that first venue is w-a-a-a-y too small...hehehe!!!!! 💗💗💗
    2
  4268. I'd love to see Rick do a sit down like this with Elton John and Bernie Taupin.
    2
  4269. You had TV: ABC, NBC and CBS. In most markets, a pop station, a rock station, a country station and a soul station. You had a motion picture theater with two screens. There was a city newspaper and magazine subscriptions. There wasn't much to choose from. So the stars, the talent, shone much brighter.
    2
  4270. I too have experienced the phenomenon of having perfect pitch and then "losing" it. I have a theory as to why this happens, and I think it has to do with the structure of the inner ear and how our brain interprets pitch from the ear signals. Various hairs are located along the length of the cochlea (the coiled inner ear), and the brain distinguishes pitch by how different sound frequencies stimulate the various hairs in different locations. In the case of people with perfect pitch, the brain cannot only tell the relative relationship of the various frequencies from this information, but can also assign an absolute reference to each pitch that we hear as tonal "color". As we age, this absolute reference is still there (in my experience), but it shifts downwards, so that tones sound sharper to me than before. (This has happened for others--Dimitri Shostakovich complained when he was old, that "orchestras are playing sharper and sharper." ) I would posit that the ability of my brain to interpret the information has changed not at all, or very little, but that with age, the dimensions of my inner ear have changed, just as my face has acquired wrinkles, etc. This subtle change is enough to shift the information sent to my brain from the cochlea hairs, and so I hear everything a bit higher than before. I first noticed this change in my late 40's, and now, at age 70, it is quite pronounced, over a semi-tone so far as I can tell. I have also noticed that if I block my nose and increase the air pressure in my sinuses ("pop" my ears), this causes a temporary shift in the pitch of music until the pressure is released. The pressure increase probably alters the dimension of the cochlea slightly, which is enough to change the perceived pitch to my brain. This correlates with my thesis that an age related change in the inner ear dimensions is responsible for my absolute pitch perception changing.
    2
  4271. This is why I’m here. This is one of the most informative, authentic and inspirational outlets in all of media. Rick, what you do here transcends music. Thank you.
    2
  4272. Enjoying dinner and a bottle of wine listening/watching this ... Great stuff, grazie
    2
  4273. This album was the first Jazz album I ever bought and it opened a complete new world for me, I even had the chance to promote it in a north German radio station - my favourite title "as long as you know your're living yours". The next step was "Bremen Lausanne" - Part II Lausanne is music from another world, I must have heard it several hundert times.
    2
  4274. Lostalgia?
    2
  4275. I love the fact that Rick adds in that beautiful reverb in production so it highlights the guitar.
    2
  4276. It was a rough day, today. As a person I’ll just shut up about that, esp’ after reading some of the comments. As a musician-person, I just can’t say how much I learn from, love and appreciate Rick Beato. Bless you and your family, thank you.
    2
  4277. Rick Beato, amazing and beautiful story. It brought back my memories... A Suzuki classical guitar my dad bought me when I was 7 in 1974. I remember the smell of it, the rich sound it had when I put my ear right up to it when I played it. I remember looking back at it in the back of my dad's brand new Chevy 3/4 ton pickup every 5mins all the way home. You've inspired me to do a similar video on the first song I taught myself by ear from my dad's records when I was 9 years old. The song was Scotch Boogie, by a Canadian instrumental guitarist, Ken Davidson. Thank you!!
    2
  4278. I'm thinking of buying my first Tele for all the reasons you mention in this video. I've played Gretsch Contry Gentleman, Fender Strats, Charvel-Jackson, Gibson ES-335, and a few others. Out of all those I still LOVE my '79 Peavey T-60. I think that is probably the best, unsung guitar there is, and my second choice for a guitar everyone should own.
    2
  4279. I was thinking "yeah he has mad skilz, but not my type of music", then the Bach comes out. DUDE! That's amazing.
    2
  4280. WOW - I didn‘ t exspect that you are going to Abbey Road. I shortly met you at Wunjo Guitars in London last week and I was so surprised that I couldn‘ t find a word. 😬 I hope you had a nice time in London - Greetings from Germany ✌🏻🎸

  4281. Wow what a humbling experience when Aunt Penny was talking about the barking dog. I had an extremely challenging day at work yesterday and she helped put it in perspective.thank you Aunt Penny and may you truly Rest in Peace!
    2
  4282. OMG. You have just blown my mind. What a great story. I have loved Coltrane all my life but Pat Martino passed me by. Shame on me. Thank you Rick for educating me.
    2
  4283. There is no family advantage when it comes to hard work.. the young lady put in her hours and has made it on her own. No family privilege will do the work for you when mastering any form of art. Well done Willow.. great choice of guest Rick.
    2
  4284. Who does this? A 34 minute dissection and lesson for one of the greatest live recordings ever...Rick does! Fantastic thank you for bringing the Frampton great alive again. Now I can go and “easily” learn the talk box solo with your instructions.
    2
  4285. Beato in brazilian portuguese means basically blessed. Pretty cool, huh
    2
  4286. This is how you use influence the right way.
    2
  4287. Geez. They don't even sound like alike. I mean, radiohead and the hollies. They only share a chord progression and ergo, a bit of a bass line. But Lana's is exactly the same song with different lyrics!
    2
  4288. You are right, Rick.  I ask only two things of music:  1. It must soar.  2. I must be transported.  "Amelia" does both of them. I don't know how I missed this one since I have a bunch of her albums.
    2
  4289. A wonderful video and I discovered a new band and I just bought the cd as well. These unknown producers that find the talent playing in dark bars just fascinate me... thanks for sharing Johnny’s story... RIP another Diamond in the rough. Rick I love your channel !! Your guitar solo really blew me away BTW too !!!
    2
  4290. I don't know if you will ever get to read this Rick but that is one of the most beautiful solos I have ever heard. I have looped the solo from the Johnny video you did and heard it a million times already. Absolutely beautiful. You = legend!

  4291. any video with your little bunchkin is gonna get a thumbs up from me :)

  4293. Was feeling super uninspired and not motivated with my music the past couple of weeks , thank you Rick I needed this
    2
  4294. I have literally just been thinking about this. I am 42. I am a venue sound technician. It is my second career. I spent a decade in retail working my way up the management ladder before realising that I was miserable. The only other thing I knew how to do was sound engineering as I had previously done some live mixing in my late teens and early twenties. Sound engineering is better than retail.

  4295. Check Jon Stockman from Karnivool, best recording sounds on bass, their last two albums' bass sound is massive.

  4301.  @RickBeato  Ha ha, toucher! I was just joking with ya, I'm real old myself. I think you don't understand modern pop, though. Why else would you criticize it except you are "over educated" for it or comparing it with pop from the past, which is long gone. Pop right now is largely synth-based, created from sample and loops. It's just different than before, and will always change. By the way, since you believe subscribers are everything, Tones and I has 503 thousand subscribers in only one year and "Dance Monkey" has had 2,247,806 views, in one month! Other than that, my name is Barry, not Garry, but whatever. Peace out...............................................

  4302. It is shame that Robert Fripp and Adrian Belew (Discipline, etc) weren't here. Adrian looks like he woudl be great for an interview - are they absent because they keep on blocking stuff on YouTube?
    2
  4303. Such a sweet and humble cat…the last 15 mins of this is priceless!!! Amazing Job Homie!!!!! So happy you got to do this one :)
    2
  4304. This is the best video ever posted on YouTube and will be forever in my favorites. Rock on forever EVH!!
    2
  4305. This is the "all round " best music channel on the tube. Luckily I found it back in the day.
    2
  4306. What’s cool is a channel where they talk about what it’s like to play with McCoy Tyner vs what it’s like to play with Herbie Hancock, gets billions of views on YouTube in 2024. All is not lost Mr Beato. Greetings from India.
    2
  4307. Your studio is a great place for this format of interview🎸👍
    2
  4308. I'm really disappointed Rick. For a minute, I thought it was going to be 22 different chords on 22 different guitars. In reality it was only like 11 different guitars. Although I should say 11 "cool" guitars!
    2
  4309. Should read elegraph wires
    2
  4310.  @RickBeato  I understand your sentiment. Agreed.
    2
  4311. How can you not love this guy?? First song I learned was probably "Stepping Stone" - I was in a punk band in high school and we covered older tunes like that, Louie Louie, Walk This Way, as a lark but honestly they're good songs we liked. Kudos to your mom, Rick... she helped you help make this world a better place <3
    2
  4312. When I listen to Thomas Newman speak, and watch him listen, consider and recall, the feeling of it is entirely consonant with his music. Staggeringly beautiful. Thank you, Rick, for meeting Thomas’s intelligence and curiosity and wonder with your own. This was magical. 🙏🏼
    2
  4313. As both a fan and a guy who has recorded drums many times, Rick was qualified to do this interview.
    2
  4314. Look what Ithaca College produced? I’m so glad my daughter chose Ithaca.
    2
  4315. Your channel is literally priceless, Rick... thanks for amazing content like this!
    2
  4316. Ive watched two times since yesterday - the whole interview is gold but from Johnny Cash's part til the end the whole thing become celestial - thankyou Ricks you guys made so many music fans happy beyond belief🖤
    2
  4317. Great video Rick. Great to know you're a fan of Jacob too
    2
  4318. Love when you dive into classical music on your channel, Rick! Your classical musician fans truly appreciate it.
    2
  4319. 2024-09-28: Why David Gilmour Won’t Be On My Channel 2024-11-19: The David Gilmour Interview lol
    2
  4320. Rick, your video editing and production skills more than match those of the songs you analyze. Any musical artist who merits mention by you on your channel should be flattered and grateful. You are the Sherlock Holmes of musicology! 🔍🔉🎼
    2
  4321. Task failed successfully
    2
  4322. Gotta love your honesty. I think that is one of the reasons that you are so good at what you do. We have all been there in some way or another and its great that you can laugh at your mistakes and we can all laugh with you.
    2
  4323. I worked with Dave on the stones bigger bang tour, top bloke.
    2
  4324. Sorry for your loss Rick, and I get it! What I loved about your "video reveal" here is how real and human you are being. You are using the position of influence that you have built for yourself, to model healthy human interaction, honest emotions and the value of being in community. I applaud you for being real and allowing yourself to be enriched and impacted by the folks you reach out to. That is true wisdom, thank you for being an honest good heart-ed intelligent man. I was touched by this, blessings to you.
    2
  4325. Gorgeous song 🎵 😍 so moving.
    2
  4326. The beauty of this channel is the diversity in song choices.
    2
  4327. Like Ward Carrol.
    2
  4328. I initially didn’t watch the video because I was like, Joni Mitchell....meh. Man was I wrong. I forgot how legendary she is.
    2
  4329. That was unreal. This sort of candid behind-the-scenes material is golden.
    2
  4330. Thanks Rick for pushing the human aspect of 'beats'. They are so much better when played with emotions. Imagine flamenco played by computer...!
    2
  4331. Such a deep and lovely look from genius musician! You did an amazing job with this interview Rick! Love your content, I am “drummer” and have had more education watching your channel then in my whole life of experience.
    2
  4332. Just got my ticket. It’ll be my first time in NYC! Rick you are just the excuse I needed to check 2 things off my bucket list: seeing you live and also being in Manhattan for a show (yours). 😃
    2
  4333. So you’re saying after you broke your ankle... you found Gsus
    2
  4334. I stuck it out to the end. Very interesting. We need more of these.
    2
  4335. Rick, I think every interview you do tells a person's story the best. From their life to their music and in their perspective. The questions you ask are spot on, and there is not an interviewer alive that could get as technical as you. I think you start and the beginning and end at the end as it should be. That the main reason I would love to hear Joni Mitchell's life and music through her reflections as guided by you. I wonder how technical she could answer your questions. In closing I would like to know what makes her live performance on Youtube of 'Woodstock' great. Personally I think it is the spaces.
    2
  4336. It interesting how youtube blockers are changing how we view music history, by rights we really ought to have some Jimi Hendrix on here you could probably do a top 20 just on his rhythm playing. The Eagles are another band thats noticeably missing life in the fast lane probably deserves a place as well. Also a couple of suggestion of my favourites - Rory Gallagher - Mississippi Sheiks, Suede - Beautiful ones and Manic Street Preachers - A Design for life
    2
  4337. Bravo Rick another Mount Rushmore interview in the books. Thank you so much for doing these. You are adding to the lexicon of music history for future generations to access and they will remember you very fondly for your contributions.
    2
  4338. I love this channel! Rick is very knowledgeable about all things music. He's asking some great questions in this video. Satch is always so cordial and cool. A true master and gentleman.
    2
  4339. The best interview I have ever seen on youtube
    2
  4340. I rarely comment. I want you to know I watched till the end and enjoyed the entire episode.
    2
  4341. I just fell into Rick’s channel by pure happenstance a couple months ago. I’m not a YOUTUBE GUY. I usually only use it as a tool. To help fix and find out information on something I might be working on. But this channel is absolutely amazing. The first interview I watched was Josh Freese and I got hooked. This Brenden O’Brien interview is an absolute home run!! Cheers 🍻
    2
  4342. sounds like sunny day real estate or something, cool
    2
  4343. Love how supportive the musician side of youtube is. Got guys like Time Pierce, Leland Sklar, Rick etc sharing their lifelong experiences with us and on the viewer side supporting these big guys coming to YT as well as many smaller maybe only locally known musicians as they share their journey and things they’ve learned. Love the love.
    2
  4344. Revisiting this video to get my mind blown on Jonis absolute masterpiece while sharing the feeling with someone
    2
  4345. Fantastic video! I saw him do a solo performance around the same time as that video. Mind-blowing! My prog rock bandmates and I hung out around the stage door to meet him afterwards. I have big mitts but when he shook my hand, I felt like they were wrapping around mine twice. He was very gracious and stayed to talk with us for quite a while. As prog geeks, we asked what he thought of Keith Emerson copying his style. He told us that he had recently filmed a tv show in London where they jammed together, speaking very kindly of it. Anyone who has seen that video could clearly see that as great a player as Emerson was, he wasn't in the same class as Oscar, nowhere near it. Oscar remains a national treasure for all of us Canadians.
    2
  4346. No only guitars, real musical instruments played by skilled musicians. Oh my God, I've waited a long time for this. 👍👍
    2
  4347. May I suggest Tubular Bells is truly 7+8? It's the same theme repeated twice, the first being 1/8 shorter. I would think 15/8 would be the right time signature if it contained the whole theme. Same as in Deep Red by Goblin's, 7+8 there too. Rick thanks as usual, your 1.3 followers do you justice
    2
  4348. Can you imagine if this was your music teacher?! Amazing video.
    2
  4349. After viewing this video with me, my guitar will no longer look me in the eye. Embarrassed of me I guess. On another note, pun intended, If anyone has desires on becoming a content provider and producing interviews, watch this at least a hundred times and learn what it's like to listen after you ask the question.
    2
  4350. Rick asked all excellent questions you’ve officially covered every subject in Music 😂 thank you again 🎸🎶
    2
  4351. this is next level content.
    2
  4352. This was so incredibly outstanding. I don’t know if an interview can be considered a masterpiece but this was that and more. Will make a donation today but…..bravo! You are doing something so meaningful and valuable for musicians everywhere. You deserve all the great things that I hope are coming your way as a result of the work you are doing here on You Tube. Thank you, thank you.
    2
  4353. Why you're the best?? cuz I am even watching you from IRAN, with vpn (as youtube is banned here, basically everything is banned since 1979), and just wanted to say you are the BEST Rick.
    2
  4354. I really love your show Rick I have learned so much in the past year and half than the 40+ years I have been playing music!! I have bought merchandise and am getting ready to purchase your ear training method!! I know a lot of Theory but wish I had a better ear!! I just want to thank you so much!! You are fu#*@#!^ great my man!!
    2
  4355. Rick, it is obvious that Nate has NEVER listened to Steve Ferrone or Dennis Chambers.
    2
  4356. Rick, your videos have rekindled in me a passion for music the I've not felt since my college years. You also inspired me to buy a guitar and amp and learn to play. This particular video is especially meaningful. Our 23 year old daughter was diagnosed with MS two months ago. We are adjusting to the bitter news, but this video reminds up of the hope and good that lie in the years to come despite the illness. Thank you for this homage and the reminder to cherish the people in our lives. You are a great and positive influence...keep up the good work! God bless from Ephraim UT!
    2
  4357. You know, this guy is well-known, but I doubt anyone has gotten this kind of interview, because they ask the wrong questions, and don’t wait for the good answer. Opened for Zeppelin in Texas? Who knew.🤔😳
    2
  4358. Thank you, Rick Beato, thank your Family, for sharing you with us all these years !!!! I / We are so grateful for all your hard work and time! We thank again, your sweet Family for sacrificing their time with YOU, so you could be with us!!! You are absolutely brilliant in all that you have done here, and we are all so much better, musically for your work.. God Bless you and Yours, Rick Beato !! Fran Danco
    2
  4359. The first thing I want to say is that the content of this video is fantastic, remember extraordinary musicians who are no longer with us, the memories of your father who loved jazz, the very experience of love for this language, in my opinion makes this content is very valuable, regards
    2
  4360. I don't ever leave comments but this one touched me. I come from a musical family and this video stirred up memories of my grandmother who used to play piano with me when I was little. She was one of many musicians in my family one of my earliest memories is of learning to pick out root notes from what she was playing when I was 4. She unknowingly gave me the gift of my love for the art of playing and making music. She passed away this past year from late stage alzheimer's after a nearly 25 year battle. The one thing she never lost was her gift to play even after she couldn't recognized her own children or grandchildren anymore. I love your channel and if your aunt gave you the gift of music I love her too because without her influence it sounds like you wouldn't be on here influencing all of us. Be well and keep creating.
    2
  4361. Rick, one of the things I love about you is that you are so genuinely joyous about music. Do you know that you were smiling almost the entire time you and RC were talking? I love that. And oh BTW, you just interviewed RON CARTER. And he agreed to another interview. Wow. Stuff of dreams, eh?
    2
  4362. Just purchased the "Beato Book" from your website. Looking forward to learning from it! :-)
    2
  4363. For some reason had the impression that Joe was somewhat smug and generally disinterested type, travelling the world hoovering up precious guitars rather indiscriminately. Turns out he's an engaging and well thought human being with a deep and obvious love of a particular era of guitar music and its attendant paraphernalia. Who knew! Not me, obviously. It helps that Rick was seemingly grown in a tube. A military experiment gone wrong. Loose in the world to now be the perfect conduit of decades of experience, natural charisma and the uncanny ability to ask precisely the right question then shut the F up. What a time to be alive and into this stuff.
    2
  4364. Sounds like a beautiful plug-in. I wish I could play like that though :P
    2
  4365. I am so glad Greg transcribed that portion. I had not heard the poetry, but it really was. It's beautiful that such poetic philosophy was so casually and humbly dispensed. You were so blessed to have your Aunt Penny in your childhood, Rick. RIP happily, hysterically, hilariously, barking aunt Penny!
    2
  4366. This is the best Youtube interview on an influencer of modern music culture; Lanois' knowledge shines as evermore . All we need need now is an Eno interview to compliment.
    2
  4367. Rick... I'm speechless. As an Interviewer, you address, technically critique & think like my peers, myself and countless others inside of this World of Wonders we call "MUSIC". You, as an individual, ask all the questions we would as a collective. The comments say EVERYTHING I could have possibly imagined to say, and so much more. As mentioned in many comments, I TOO MUST SAY,l... When the Host can get Guests of STING Stature to lean into the questions with such enthusiasm and such in-depth personal perspective... WOW! THAT my Friend, is the Mark of a truly talented Master of an artful skill, or perhaps a skillful art... ...either way... ...Rick... DUDE! yer The BEST!!!
    2
  4368. I was thinking how great this would be when I saw you with Tim on IG. Thanks Rick
    2
  4369. Rick, I subscribed when there were 11K. I was impressed there were 11,000 people who were into music theory! Now I'm more impressed. Phenomenal reel...Keep going!
    2
  4370. Awesome! Loved it! Now the Top 20 POWER ballads!!😁
    2
  4371. Ok, only pausing here to comment so I won’t be buried 1000 deep! Rick, you have without a doubt become the most important historian, teacher, and driver of real music appreciation in modern times. I’ve been watching your videos since very early on and could not be more proud of the impact of your two channels. Getting a front row seat to a 2+ hour thoughtful conversation with Rick Rubin by an unparalleled interviewer gives me much optimism for the future of music. Many, many thanks!
    2
  4372. Haha, whadda' you do if Adele doesn't like wah wha,,,,,,,,"you turn it off".
    2
  4373. Dammit Rick, I had things to do this morning! Happy holidays from Charleston, SC.
    2
  4374. Dang you Rick... literally leaving the house to go meet with Hospice as my 86 year old Dad is succumbing to Cancer. Incredible man terrible guitarist, as am I. Brilliant engineer devoted husband for 62 years, father of six kids, none so far, have gone to jail! :). Here's to the Peter's of the world!!! Cheers
    2
  4375. I just wanted to go to sleep. But for some odd reason, I had to delay my plan for one hour, fourty-six minutes, and fifty-six seconds. Thank you Rick!
    2
  4376. Rick Beato. I only discovered your channel fairly recently. Early 2020 through the COVID-19 lock-down, actually. I cant tell you how much I get out of your clips. Perhaps at a more appropriate time I might try and explain the sense of kinship I feel, when I lose myself for a moment in your enthusiasm and excitement for music. Today though I'd just like to say 'thank you' for sharing with us, your wonderful family history. Its very sad that you've lost someone so special, but amazing to get a glimpse of the rich and generous history, from which you hail. Take care. Wal
    2
  4377. Not only does this expose people to the wonderful musicians of the past, but it also emphasizes the importance of us, on or own, passing on the beauty of music to our children and the next generations. Not sure if you meant that or not, but I got that. Thanks.
    2
  4378. Brilliant interview. You asked questions that other interviewers don’t know how to ask!
    2
  4379. 34:50 I clicked on it and watched all the way through (albeit on 1.5 speed as that's how I typically watch these types of videos). Great conversations. It may not be the 70s anymore but there are still some 17 year olds (such as myself) who are excited by the modes of the double harmonic major scale. Hungarian minor and Lydian #2 #6 stand out to me as scales that I could use again and again, and Locrian bb3 bb7 led to me discovering Locrian bb6, which I have found to really "fix" a lot of the "problems" that writing and playing in Locrian usually poses. As much as I gained from that video you did with Nahre Sol, I do understand that it's not the most accessible topic for the wider audience and I still find much admiration and interest in what both you and Adam do today. Thank you for all the great content.
    2
  4380. Your versatility is sick.
    2
  4381. Rick is singing the songs that would otherwise be blocked, lol.
    2
  4382. At 38:19 I think you can see him longing to have his left hand back 😔♥️
    2
  4383. That was your best video yet Rick; a most fitting tribute. Your solo really moved me....and to see your pure passion while playing it really pushed it over the top. Don’t EVER take your genius for granted; so many like me would trade a lifetime for a day of your talent.
    2
  4384. This was an amazing interview. Rick, you're so good at this. What a classy and down-to-earth guy Mike Mills is. You can really tell that he admired his bandmates. Awesome.
    2
  4385. I wouldn’t have connected Rick Beato and Ward Carol. Interesting podcast with just a rambling wide ranging discussion among 4 knowledgeable and passionate guys.
    2
  4386. This is THE programme for real musicians talking about music and what a gem it is. The BBC should commission you Rick to do some material on 6 music or BBC 4. A tour de force. Bravo.
    2
  4387. Your mom bought you the 12 string, and simultaneously cut onions in our house. My wife, listening over my shoulder "Aww! That's so sweet!" Touching story man.
    2
  4388. Hah, I sing better than you, or at least as good. That's right, Rick... after hundreds of hours watching your videos I FINALLY saw something you do not do better than me! Love ya. man: You are an inspiration, please never stop!!!
    2
  4389. Fretless bass is so cool.
    2
  4390. Mr. Beato…thank you for this interesting and beautifully honest interview! Having lived unplugged abroad for over two decades helps me emphasize with this subject you both so eloquently explained and expressed. Again thank you for your efforts to create enlightening videos embracing honest ideas.
    2
  4391. Hey Rick, why don't you make a video of the people you would have loved to interviewed but couldn't. What would you have asked them?. I can imagine Jeff Porcaro, Syd Barrett, Miles Davis, Eva Cassidy, Amy Winheouse, among others.
    2
  4392. glad it's back up. watching it for the second time. Joni is my key influence. Without her GREAT lyrics and melodies would not have the foundation that will stand for future generations.
    2
  4393. Baby yoda?
    2
  4394. Well this stopped my work-day dead in its tracks!
    2
  4395. It is with extreme hesitation that I make this comment, because I really love Rick's channel and all of his commentary , but here goes anyway: notwithstanding the evident erudition, and chops, I don't really dig most of this. It sounds like practicing to me, not music. It's all straight eighths. It never swings. It isn't melodic, in the sense that 5 minutes after hearing these lines you could sing them, which is just another way of saying it isn't memorable. Again, it sounds like someone powering through a set of Hanon exercises, albeit a very modern and quirky set of Hanon exercises. This is all a bit mysterious to me because a great deal of Rick's content makes it crystal clear that he digs all the classic stuff that i do as well. I suppose Rick just has a more open mind than I do. He loves all the old classic rock and jazz, but he also digs more modern stuff. For my part, music pretty much ended in the late 70s. I'm still stuck in my "jazz coma," as I think he ( deprecatingly ?) referred to it, with a classic rock and blues coma added on top for good measure. That's a deep coma, admittedly. I'd rather listen to Kenny Burrell or Grant Green, or Jimmy Smith or Arnett Cobb or Wynton Kelly or Hank Mobley or Bill Evans or Ahmad Jamal or Howlin Wolf or Jimmy Reed or Lazy Lester or Elmore James or Duane Allman or Steve Winwood or ......you get the picture.... This is what makes horse races. Different tastes....though I still expect to be crucified for my comment, so let the attacks begin.....
    2
  4396. Really awesome and touching tribute, especially at the end. Great stuff, Rick
    2
  4397. I'm pretty sure I've never watched an interview that long before; much less enjoyed it so much - excellent - I could have listened to another 2 hours!
    2
  4398. The comments: Why don’t you hate this as much as us??? Modern music is trash!! Life’s too short to pretend all modern music is trash. You all are gonna grow full of hate. Be like Rick lol, he knows that music production is an art itself now.
    2
  4399. Rick EXCEPT for your your vast superior musical knowledge, I can totally see myself in you. I'm turning 54 this month so you are a couple of years ahead of me ... I watch your channel with the internet on expanding my musical knowledge in the specific area of all things music but can never get away from totally seeing myself in you for some odd reason. I do the same thing especially when (my now ex) would play the radio, pop really isn't my fave music to say the least but while the radio is blaring I would play along. I've been playing guitar since I was 8 so yeah .... I can pick out whatever is being played by ear easily and using my acoustic is my fave to play over my electric or piano. This particular video is scary how closely I see myself in you and in another few short years yes I'll literally be exactly in the same place !!! Except of course, sir, your vast musical knowledge is far superior to mine. Thank you for sharing this vid I found it entertaining on levels that nobody else would even begin to understand. I'm laughing my ass of because it's like I'm watching myself through a time machine !!!!! Thanks Rick, you're an inspiration and I needed that tonight. Rock on Bro 🎸 - Michael ( your younger evil twin brother )

  4400. I just subscribed from this video but I disagree, I’ve heard all these albums that were nominated for AOTY and Beyonce deserved that win and here’s why. Her album was the most produced, diverse and boldest album. Roan is great, very pop but it didn’t push boundaries from genre bending production same with Carpenter and especially Taylor. I love all those songs from the other artists nominated don’t get me wrong. But I’m talking about strong collaborations, production and sound and vocals. I’m not much of a country listener but still all the other albums you mentioned sound great, but Beyonce again had more iconic features on her album and the majority of the songs had a country sound and vibe 🤷🏾‍♂️ I still Liked this video, your setup is dope
    2
  4401. This is as good as it gets. An interviewee with so much to say and an interviewer who'll give him space to say it all. Rick is the man - as teachers, academics and enlighteners go, he's up there with David Attenborough and the very best. Pure, genuine, ego-free enthusiasm.
    2
  4402. this is a masterpiece of an interview, a true treasure 🎵🎶🥁
    2
  4403. Rick… your Michael Brecker story was not only heartwarming, but I would have been as starstruck as you. At this weird Holiday Pandemic time, your story reminded me of how kindness and kinship among musicians who barely know each other is what we need to keep us going, shedding and having idols no matter what. Thank you for doing this post and sharing this story. It made my holiday. 🙏
    2
  4404. Rick, you can be a major league goof and seriously, I love and respect that! You are a past master level of goofy. Of COURSE it sounds 'like Bach'... the entire architecture is Bach's. Yours is to introduce to we - your audience - these wonderful musicians, songwriters, and the shared history of modern music. Anyway my good sir, keep up the wonder, and I (for one) will continue to listen.
    2
  4405. It's my birthday today and Rick chose this song to analyse. It was a song that haunted me for a long time when it came out in 1976 (the live version). Through this song, Peter Frampton made me forget Ritchie Blackmore and Jimmy Page who were the guitar legend of that time. Peter appeared to be the only guitarist who mixed Jazz guitar technique to Rock and nevertheless, his soloing style still remained very "Rocky". So thanks to Rick to (unwillingly) offer me this Birthday present and a very special thank to Peter Frampton for his art and personality. Hats off!!!
    2
  4406. Rick, you're video's are outstanding, you're love and passion for such a vast difference of musical styles from Page and Van Halen to Pat Martino, Emily Remler and Adele are a privilege to listen to and perhaps even more is your humanity, paying tribute's to the musical genius' no longer with us. We need to be reminded of what these people brought to us all and I think your video's are the best at doing this, Many thx
    2
  4407. I like this guy. Rick Beato will not read this comment. 😏
    2
  4408. I've never watched a one hour and 45-minute interview in my life and I'm in my 50's... but I watched this and I'm excited to watch it again (incredible content)
    2
  4409. Throw out Terry Jacks and Starland vocal kiddie crap. How about Greeneyed lady by Sugarloaf? Ride captain ride by Blues Image?
    2
  4410. Right on! Mr. Beato, your channel is one of the greatest things in the history of internet!
    2
  4411. one of the few interviewers who knows what he is talking about and who knows how to ask the right questions as an informed person on the topic! Well done! Best channel👏
    2
  4412. Wow, what an incredible interview. It's been quite the journey from videos of your son's ear training to this, I've enjoyed it the whole way. But this rises far above the normal level of YouTube entertainment - this is an important historical record. This is art, this is journalism. Thank you.
    2
  4413. These days a chorus would be a big enough ask, but a bridge would be a bridge too far!
    2
  4414. Did you have a breakthrough with ECM?! Are they no longer blocking everything?
    2
  4415. Rick, I am so much amazed by your wide wiiiiideeee range of musical taste. I do see so much narrow minded guys these days, like speed metal guys, that only listen to speed metal, and so forth. I can listen to Gojira, followed by Joni Mitchel, followed by Led Zeppelin, followed by Coltrane. I do hope, your tremendous popularity here on YT can help people to open up their ears a bit wider.

  4416. Rick, watch it in bits because it’s a long one? Are you kidding? I’ve watched this 3 times already and can’t get enough. I knew some of the best drummers personally through my father who was a symphonic percussionist and jazz/studio drummer: Buddy Rich, Louis Belson, Ed Schaunessy, even met Charlie Watts at the house… But Bernard and Steve Gadd, IMHO, are the greatest studio drummers ever. What a treat to watch him play and talk about his art and craft. You’re doing great work Rick! Keep it alive…
    2
  4417. Rick knows his stuff/history in order to ask questions so Ron can really give answers that really add to the history of music from the time
    2
  4418. This isn’t a Youtube channel in the way we know it. These are historical documents that will live on. It takes Rick’s expertise to talk on this level and the people he has access to recognize it and respond. Just wonderful…thank you!
    2
  4419. Wish you’d do one on Lines on My Face. It is such a beautiful song.
    2
  4420. Best channel on youtube! RICK I'd love to hear you talk about Paco de Lucia some!
    2
  4421. you are really someone who listens and is sensitive Rick, thanks to share this to us 😊. Written from Brest France.
    2
  4422. Growing up in Rochester NY you ALWAYS heard Frampton on WCMF at 4 PM on Friday for the drive home on 490. Thanks Mr. Beato for bringing back some great memories!
    2
  4423. Amateur question here, what is the fingering of a Esus4/2?
    2
  4424. So interesting, I almost didn’t watch because it was so long. Then I found out it wasn’t long enough.
    2
  4425. i cant begin thank you for what youve done for me. all of your lessons have made me a better pl;ayer. its like having my own personal amazing teacher at my fingertips...pun intended. thank you Rick. you Rock!
    2
  4426. You said the other day you had some huge interviews coming up, but this is a whole other level my man. You've definitely outdone yourself this time Rick, if that's even possible.
    2
  4427. Damn, Rick can chug....never thought he'd be into it
    2
  4428. Rick analyzes music in such a detailed, scientific way. Finding his channel is like finding a 40 year old lost/ unreleased Zeppelin or The Who or........whoever record. 👍👍
    2
  4429. I am not a musician and can barely strum a few chords on a guitar or play some melodies on the piano one-handedly, but for some reason, I can't stop watching your videos, Rick! This is one of the few precious music channels on YouTube anyone should be subscribed to. Thank you, Sir!
    2
  4430. How do you like a video more than once!?
    2
  4431. Hi Rick and others like myself lurking here. I am both audio design engineer and audiophile for more than 45 years, and you, Rick cannot imagine how you have changed my life in how I have learned to listen and appreciate music even after so many years of developing superb reproduction equipment. After each of your analysis of songs I have come away with knowing more and knowing better, and it changed my whole outlook on listening to music to the extent that I learned from you to listen to almost anything and developed an appreciation for what detail, skills and emotion goes into a performance. I have followed you for as long as I can remember and never has anyone been able to change and affect both my design capability and interpretation of the music like you have. You have been my life changer and I thank you for it. This was yet just another of your brilliant ways to communicate the music skills you have attained in your lifetime.
    2
  4432. New sub Can't stop watching these videos and I'm not even a musician lol
    2
  4433. One of the best interviewers around..rate Rick among the best in general, not just musical
    2
  4434. This is the kind of content that makes this channel GREAT!
    2
  4435. "Before Pro Tools, there were pros". LOVE IT!!!!!
    2
  4436. It is so hard to talk about but thank you so much for talking about it. Sincerest condolences to Peter's family on their loss - and to you on yours. We live in a weird age where we feel we'll last forever - and create "content" - whether those works are art or artisanship - that may well outlast us. And in a few instances those works will transcend the superficiality of the internet and touch people. Now, you're an educator AND a producer AND a musician AND a communicator so you get several shots at that "immortality" - but lots of people are some, or even all, or more. By bringing a humility and sense of wonder and your humanity and your urge to educate and allowing it to override the commerciality of the medium, you achieve that transcendence. I will always be grateful for that, all your fans will, and it seems so will Peter and his family. Thank you so much for everything you continue to do.
    2
  4437. I believe there was a Powder Mill Park Concert.
    2
  4438. For a guy who's actually a really good guitar player, Rick is still able to play air guitar like a goofy idiot who knows nothing about actually playing guitar. 😜 It's a rare gift...
    2
  4439. Rick, best interview to date with anyone, Tommy is such a force of musical nature, perfect watch, thank you for doing what you do, more power to you my man x
    2
  4440. I’m curious why I’ve never heard King’s X mentioned in any of Mr. Beato’s videos.
    2
  4441. I would like to nominate this interview for inclusion in the U.S. Library of Congress.
    2
  4442. As you said, great to have these guys back on your channel. Loved it.
    2
  4443. Love the Clair Bros background in my hometown! Rick, if you ever come to check out Lititz, I’d love to buy you a beer at the Bulls Head!
    2
  4444. Rick should be inducted into the Musician's Hall of Fame or something. Phenomenal teacher and an advocate of all types and genres of Music from Jazz to Classical to Heavy Metal. Man if i could spend half a day with Rick over a cup of Coffee or a Pint and just talking about Music. Would be an absolute treat. Thank you Sir for all that you do and for educating us. Much love.
    2
  4445. A vid of Rick taking martial arts lessons would be fun.
    2
  4446. Wow! I’ve had this CD since the mid-80s and like this song, BUT until now I didn’t appreciate the complexity, textures, and feeling. Thank you!
    2
  4447. I like how occasionally Rick plays some chords in his guitar and automatically makes the listening expeirence several times better
    2
  4448. In a week I'm going to Leipzig to do an internship at the Bach Archiv next to the Thomaskirche. I'm excited, humbled and ready for an experience that will stick with me forever.
    2
  4449. Just amazing..... I love Shinedown, never knew you had a connection to them like this. Awesome! P.S. I bought the Beato Book the other day, there's so much great info in it.... I hope to someday be able to thoroughly understand it all but it might take a few years to reach that goal.... Excellent material, Thank you!
    2
  4450. I think with your son Dylan, we get some insight into how miraculous Beethoven's hearing must of been at the height of it's perfection. The music of Beethoven is a pinnacle achievement I feel blessed to be able to hear. Thanks
    2
  4451. On Beato videos you first LIKE and only then WATCH
    2
  4452. Man...id love to have a lefty with ya and talk music. Ive just seen your videos for the first time this evening and have been watching them all night. Just wonderful. Im blown away!
    2
  4453. Rick did you pick the sneakers you wore or was it your kids? 😂
    2
  4454. This one is one of my favorites! What stories!!! And what a nice dude!
    2
  4455. Hendrix and John Lennon were interviewed by Cavett. Imagine Rick being able to interview those guys.
    2
  4456. The way the recording of this video came out was so heart warming and personal... I appreciate being able to learn from your program Rick; You're so unique and a blessing to me. Thank you so much.
    2
  4457. As a teacher I love this story. You have the ability to communicate clearly and with empathy Rick and as a new subscriber I’m looking forward to your future videos.
    2
  4458. I don't know anything about drumming and wouldnt say I'm a fan of the band, but was completely engrossed by this conversation, probably because the passion and the knowledge is beautifully conveyed, not to mention Rick's enthusiasm. The videos featuring drummers stand out to me. Amazing episode, thank you.
    2
  4459. That was the best Beato story ever. “Hey Cameron what up?” 🤷🏽
    2
  4460. Rick, great lead in/career overview and fantastic interview. Well done.
    2
  4461. Rick is probably the best interviewer ever
    2
  4462. I love that Crowfield solo! There are certain solos that when you hear them can move you emotionally. It’s beauty to my ears!
    2
  4463. I believe it the song were any more identical Dua Lipa would be getting that reggae band's electric bills in the mail because the post office would think they' were the same person.
    2
  4464. Hands down, the best interview you've ever hosted, Rick. Before this I thought it was the last one I watched....and before that, the one before that...and so on and so on. Seriously though, this is instant canon.
    2
  4465. Howard stern could learn a thing or two about interview skills from you. I kept waiting for you to interrupt, but you simply let the guy talk and actually listen to what he said. Very refreshing.
    2
  4466. It’s spooky when videos happen along at the exact time you need them. I’ve been following your channel for a few years and I love your interviews, stories and insight. But today I turned another year older and times are tough. I’ve gone back to study and finding it hard to re-learn how to learn. It’s been a tough day. But then this video comes along and I feel like it’s speaking directly to me. A boost of inspiration and wisdom that I need. Thank you Rick!
    2
  4467. Not a metal player here, but loved this. Fascinating stuff.
    2
  4468. Awesome interviews! Thank you for making this happen.
    2
  4469. Even though your singing was 7.5/10 Rick, I still shed a tear as the lyric and melody was so beautiful. Thx Rick.
    2
  4470. I know Rick’s interviews are usually well thought out and orchestrated, and that’s brilliant, but this for me is the reason YouTube is great. A hang with no filter. The best!
    2
  4471. This is like my dream interview with him... but better:face-red-heart-shape:
    2
  4472. “What Makes This Song Great” is the very, very best part of experiencing this channel. Still waiting for Rick’s breakdown of “Digital Bath” by Deftones.
    2
  4473. All of you are incredibly gifted musicians... But the vision to put this work together is a gift on a different plane. Really appreciate you sharing.
    2
  4474. Rick knows how to interview a guest, he let's them talk and tell their story while also knowing when to voice a question or comment without interrupting the flow of the conversation. Good job Rick, keep it up.
    2
  4475. A topic I though I would not have much interest in, and once again, watched the whole thing in one go and thoroughly enjoyed it! Great interview Rick, you are really helping the integrity of music with your channel
    2
  4476. Possibly the best thing I’ve ever seen on YouTube. What a fabulous interview.
    2
  4477. Mmmm clearly the best BC interview in years and years maybe literally the best ever. Rick making videos about Martha Argerich one day and then hosting top notch interviews with 90s rock guys the next. Appreciated!!
    2
  4478. Rick is the best interviewer in music. Full stop.❤ Creatives across many disciplines can probably relate to how she talks about inspiration coming in. As a writer, I can. It sounds kinda out there (muses? well, the Greeks were on to something) but honestly, there's a lot about creativity that science doesn't understand.
    2
  4479. @Rick Beato is the little brother you had and you picked on him mercilessly. Then one day you wake up and realize this is the most thoughtful, brilliant dude you’ve ever met... in spite of you and the cr@p you pulled as a kid... and now you simply look forward to him just talking to you. Like that. He’s like that.
    2
  4480. These two guys were part of maybe the two most important bands of the 90s and look at them! Humble and talking about music from their souls. This is gold.
    2
  4481. With all due respect, Rick is a better interviewer of musicians. Dan is a legend, but I think his producers do most of the heavy lifting these days.
    2
  4482. I don't know how to put this (simple fact is that I'm from Germany). Rick, please do what you do, go on and exactly in the way you're doing it. I am trying to do my daily job in the manner you're describing: doing it because it is what I want to do and because it comes naturally, everything falls into place, nothing feels uneasy. If it were, I'd be sure that something about it wouldn't be right. To me, you're the most authentic person I've come across on social media. You've done it, you can explain it, vou can play it (!), you know the people, the background, the history and it all comes naturally because one can feel that you have fun and you're engaged. For me, as an old guy of now 63, I can relate to all of that, and - by god - I've learned so much in every aspect since I've subscribed to your channels that I can follow my musical path with renewed energy and strength. IOU.
    2
  4483. Did your assistant change something on the camera settings or did you learn to operate it yourself? It looks awesome 😁😝
    2
  4484. Rick, I just want to thank for your work. Amazing stuff for generations to come.
    2
  4485. It's amazing how Rick has all these questions in his head and delivers perfectly! Great entertainment!
    2
  4486. Rick it takes a genuine skill to interview like this. Many professional interviewers don't listen as well as you.
    2
  4487. I thank your aunt every time you do this Thanks man
    2
  4488. I have all the respect in the world for Michael Stipe as an artist, but if you want a straightforward history of R.E.M. Mike Mills is the one to go to. Great interview, Rick.
    2
  4489.  @RickBeato  donated, great job.
    2
  4490. @Rick Beato after watching this special conversation between three great musicians there’s so much I want to say but I think the best thing I can say is 'thank you'. I've donated as a way of saying that but it doesn't suffice.
    2
  4491. Rick & Ward ... We need a Top 10 Songs for Airshows video! Thank you!
    2
  4492. Dang, it's like they are old friends reminiscing. How great is this.
    2
  4493. Dave Natale!! Mentored me I mixed No Doubt with Goo Goo Dolls, Dave mixed Bush. And crushed!! I listened to, watched , learned quickly. We hung out at FOH & back lounge. Dave took the time to teach me . I wanted it. Eric Malmstrom shout out to Dave!!
    2
  4494. The reason I love your channel is the honest passion and enjoyment you have in your videos. And they provide something of value. My channel, while monetized, is small potatoes. But I can't see quitting it. My audience is super niche but I think the subs I do have feel they get some value. But most of all I love doing the videos, the creative process of it all. And if any of the content helps anyone, then it's more than worth it. Keep on making your videos Rick, they are fantastic!
    2
  4495. Bar none the best, most musically informed interviewer ever. This is without doubt the quintessential interview with Hans. Rick, your work is becoming a history of modern artists and thank you for preserving this slice of time for us. I for one appreciate your hard work and effort.
    2
  4496. Congratulations Rick! It is just so natural the work you do, so normal, an we get so much benefit out of this. These interviews are just fantastic. Keep it up! Love!
    2
  4497. @RickBeato  haha, you're forgiven
    2
  4498. loved the mix on The Importance of Eye Contact!
    2
  4499. I like how this list is all about melody and zero about shred.
    2
  4500. I know I commented twice Rick, I really appreciated this interview!!!
    2
  4501. I understand about 13.8% of what you say, but I watch every video because I have to absorb and try to apply,... right? Thank you Rick!
    2
  4502. I bought one at 1am this morning. 😃
    2
  4503. i often paused this video, to ponder, to sigh, or to cry...
    2
  4504. Only guessing, but I imagine one of the reasons someone like Brendan doesn’t do so many interviews is that most journalists ask the wrong questions. What drugs was this artist on? Who fell out with whom? Etc. as with Rick‘s interview of sting, Rick creates such a wonderful environment, where it becomes a conversation the interviewee clearly wants to be a part of. A chance to really open up about their craft. I was one hour 45 minutes in before I even checked the time, totally gripped! Huge admiration for Brendan working behind the scenes to create the soundtrack of my upbringing. Thank you so much, Brendan and Rick for your incredible work.
    2
  4505. wow! That was awesome You asked questions that most people didn't ask ..great interview.. But I wish Luke realized that he was a big influence on a lot of guitar players.. I was one of them..great...!! I met you at namm A few years ago. when people are asking is that a real background. you said why do people keep saying that.. And I said that's the biggest compliment.. lol
    2
  4506. Not sure why I watch these videos - I know nothing about music theory but the way Rick explains it I feel like I can understand 🤣
    2
  4507. Looks like we need another list 😉 And a full version of Ain't No Sunshine 😍
    2
  4508. I've been snacking on this interview off and on for the last couple of days and its been feeding me with something I've been missing. It hasn't gone off my browser. Rick, you sir, were the best interviewer I could have hoped for to sync with the groove of my favorite guitarist/soul-mate from afar, David Gilmour. At the end of this I instinctively went for the like/subscribe buttons, but they were already checked. Thank you so much!
    2
  4509. Rick’s hair today makes him the wisest musical owl critic in the business. You pull it off nicely, sir.
    2
  4510. Phenomenal interview. You possess a great skill that few interviewers have mastered: the gift of listening. You listen to the artist and you obviously care deeply about them and their career through the questions that you ask. You build upon what they talk about and you ask questions as they come. You keep the artist comfortable and relaxed, so therefore we the listener feel the exact same. It's completely fascinating. I thought your Alan Parsons and Jimmy Webb interviews were awesome, but this one takes the cake. Keep doing what you're doing, your channel inspires millions!
    2
  4511. So what is our takeaway? People stream whatever but buy music with real instruments... And kpop?
    2
  4512. This has been the best interview/ podcast/ discussion you have ever posted on your channel. Thank you for introducing Ted in our lives. Transformative.
    2
  4513. How about this: Rick Beato’s Playlist - audio recordings of videos like this, covering what would be all the other lists. Get a sampling of what is popular but training the listeners ear at the same time!
    2
  4514. Was that a joey jordison signature snare I saw?
    2
  4515. 8:28...I'm pausing the video to comment...sometimes people hear something and want to comment right at that moment before they lose their train of thought hehe.
    2
  4516. Absolutely brilliant interview Rick. I could lsisted to Dave all day.
    2
  4517. Frampton Comes Alive Comes Alive.
    2
  4518. Rick, Can I be a little jealous !! Wow times ten. You sure have a beautiful set-up. Question for humidity...do you keep the whole room at a certain percentage for your acoustics ? Thank you Rick and keep up the excellent videos. I clean out my subscriber list once a year, but today I am subscribing again for good !
    2
  4519. Isn’t it awesome that we musicians have something like this channel? That we have something THIS good? So damn sweet.
    2
  4520. I had the greatest pleasure of seeing Oscar Peterson on my 21st birthday.
    2
  4521. Truly a great exposition and explanation of a truly great song. I always loved this song and now I know why. Thank you, Sir.😎
    2
  4522. I'm not that old, I'm 46, but I'm old school and I think that nothing compares to the real thing. Pedalboards are cool, I have a Helix LT, and love it. But I have 5 assorted tube amps and my guitar plugged straight into those amps is something that cannot be imitated. Love you Rick!
    2
  4523. Nice to see another nuance that makes up the man we respect and admire. Thank you for sharing this with us .
    2
  4524. No offence Rick but your expertise isn’t needed here, the lawyer can just play them both and take a seat.
    2
  4525. Brother, just when I thought I couldn't admire you anymore? Its one thing to have GIBSON offer to make you a signature line of guitars. Its another to have them dedicate the proceeds to a kid's music fund. Well played, sir.
    2
  4526. Rick, it would have been a lot less confusing if you had just told us what chords are NOT in this song.
    2
  4527. Hi Rick, gotta tell you I so completely understand the point you’ve made. I’m an anesthesiologist here in NY, and as part of the training program, we’re required to do one year of internship before we do the 3-year residency. When I ranked the hospitals I wanted for possible internship sites, I ranked the one where I knew my similar classmates/friends also wanted to go as my first choice. I didn’t get it, but instead got my second choice, and I was morally crushed. Fast forward to November of my internship year, and I’m rotating on the oncology floor, where I meet the most wonderful, sweet and genuine nurse, herself fresh out of training. We started dating by Christmas, and two years later we were married. That was almost 27 years ago, and we’re still happily married, still crazy about each other, and have 4 amazing, grown kids. My wife and I are so perfectly matched, and I couldn’t imagine my life without her. I’ve no doubt in my mind that God steered me away from my first choice because He knew what was best for me, which wasn’t what I thought I wanted at the time. That was the first event that made me truly realize and accept that, if things don’t go your way, it may not be the way you should be going!
    2
  4528. The best interview of a Bass (The Bass) player I had the pleasure to experience....
    2
  4529. Well, I feel great...let's see!!
    2
  4530. Rick is the best interviewer out there. Just incredible. Copeland is an icon.
    2
  4531. Rick is a treasure. I love you and your spirit. Humility is underrated.
    2
  4532. As I saw this in my subscription list, I was truely shocked. What? Rick did a Keith Jarrett interview? How? What? You, Rick, are on the way to become one of the most important sources in the music field! Grats!!!
    2
  4533. Man Rick, i damn near felt like I was at an AC/DC Concert.
    2
  4534. I can’t think of a more interesting interview with a musician. I listen to a lot of history podcasts and this is like them getting the chance to talk to Scipio Africanus or Elizabeth I - and not blowing it with dumb questions
    2
  4535. Thank you, Rick! You’re a one-man “life long learning” institution! All you lurker Beato fans: Visit Rick’s website, open your wallets, and buy some merch! He’s trying to support a family!
    2
  4536. Man I am so glad that this is up. The BEST dissection of a track I have ever seen, and heard. Rick I thank you and the Twitterverse for getting this up. One of my favourite songs and made even better by this video.
    2
  4537. All these inteviews are so great because you have a great musician/producer interviewing other great musicians... That together with the great setting in which this takes place gives it a beautiful domestic vibe. Music brothers talking music instead of the usual cringe fest "inteviews" by total twats. This is one great interview ; thank you for this. The Police is a big part of my youth. The Sting interview was also wonderful. Your channel is pure gold Rick, Much love from Amsterdam.🙏🏻♥️🎼🎸🔥
    2
  4538. I have been producing content here since 2010. I'll say this, last year I "hit the wall." But because I love what I do, I pushed through--your comment on just that point is important "passion" can carry you farther than anything. YouTube is like music, it requires dedication and passion. You have both. And your style works for you. Mine is a twice weekly show with sponsors (they pay the bills) and I make a small amount from Ad Sense. But bottom line, I really dig what I do. I like helping people understand old cars. I try and grow the channel, but I know I'll probably never have the numbers of channels like Cletus McFarland, or possibly even your channel. I don't really care if I do. I dig the production and editing, I dig learning how to do something and get better at it. Would I like to make my house payment and hire some folks? Yeah. Will I? Dunno. In any case, I love your channel. I don't watch everything, but I do watch and admire you for your passion and love of music.
    2
  4539. If you told me 5 years ago that one day I would watch Rick Beato dissect a polyphia track. I would have smacked you for being senseless. Jokes on me.

  4540. I would like to recommend marco sfogli's Improvisation over Larry carlton style backtrack

  4541. Really great art form from a great teacher .Really beautiful ,Let's have more Ionionism,
    1
  4542. I'm having a hard time deciding who I'm impressed with more, Jaco,with the phenomenal sounds he's extracting of his fretless base,or Rick,with his absolute astounding vast ocean of knowledge and talent in music.. mind = blown,for real though.
    1
  4543. Aight but why does Rick's guitar sound so much better than all the guitars used in the actual songs?
    1
  4544. 10 songs, 5 Gibson guitars, in my book it's great ratio therefore great video! 😃 <3
    1
  4545. Rick, This is fantastic. You’re a really good interviewer. Your casual, but informed style allows these musicians to open up. Granted, they’re seasoned professionals too, but you’re able to facilitate an engaging discussion. Really well done and I learned a lot in the process.
    1
  4546. Shooting video vertically closes people's minds over time. Nature placed our eyes on our heads horizontally for a reason.
    1
  4547. Rick should be the only person to interview Rock stars. He knows what to ask, and he knows what he's talking about!
    1
  4548. I'm not into bass playing and really don't ever listen to jazz but I could not pull myself away from this fascinating discussion.
    1
  4549. The Wedding Band Killer - I ran a wedding boat on LI and I remember a few bands butchering this song.

  4550. anybody else think the drums are tracked

  4551. This is the greatest video ever uploaded to YouTube. Awesome Rick. Thanks.

  4555. Keep em coming Rick! I cannot tell you how much I love this series of interviews.
    1
  4556. Primo! #1 Thank you to Rick and to Brad for sharing with all of us!
    1
  4557. I only have gig disasters...
    1
  4558. Rick you are documenting the greats' musicality for posterity. It's a great public service that you're providing for us and our future generations. Thank you for your humility and dedication.
    1
  4559. Great video that about 98% of all guitarists should watch an study!
    1
  4560. I’m going to share this video with my colleagues at my school where I teach music. I have never commented on a YouTube video. Thank you for making this world a better place!
    1
  4561. Another brilliant episode in the Rick Beato series of music. Rick explores all types of music. And we are the better for it. Thank you Rick, and please keep up the quality videos that you produce.
    1
  4562. Rick, if you're not proud of that solo, you should be. I'm a dyed in the wool metal head and I think that solo might be one of the best I've ever heard.
    1
  4563. Ok.... First off...Rick, this was/IS a fantastic idea! Rick, I knew you could play but damn...absolutely perfect on the Frampton sound. I thought you stuck it! Phil X, gotta say...I never payed too much attention and that’s on me. Phil X was the absolute perfect choice the the EVH PART. 🤯 Mind blown. Mr. Eric Johnson...well...is Eric Johnson and he may well be the most unique sound I’ve ever heard...and so underrated. Killed his part. Thanks, Rick! This was SO FUN to watch and listen to!
    1
  4564. "Cloudbusting" is another brilliant one.
    1
  4565. Danke!
    1
  4566. The first I saw from your channel was your video about Wes's solo on Days of wine and the roses. I've seen that at least 100 times so far. U R a huge inspiration for me. Thanks a lot, Rick!
    1
  4567. all your videos that I watched always give me an inspiring vibes, and I wish I could have a father like you, and I'd love to spend time discussing things with you. peace be with Johnny. may God bless you always, Rick
    1
  4568. Rick, your enjoyment of these songs is what makes the videos so compelling, I did not wake up today thinking I would watch 34 minutes on a song I’ve been hearing for almost 45 years. But I sure as heck did just that. And it was great.
    1
  4569. Rick, Most humans without your ear would slow this down and only then attempt to learn the lick- likely not getting close. Amazing ears you have, dude!
    1
  4570. How you can make 16th Century music accessible and contemporary is nothing short of incredible. I feel blessed to have stumbled across your remarkable channel. I thank you.
    1
  4571. All the circles and squares we weave… Beautiful tribute.
    1
  4572. One of the most interesting interviews I have ever seen, and I am 81.
    1
  4573. it's like the definition of "wholesome" lovely video Rick :hand-pink-waving:
    1
  4574. It kills me that artists allow their publishers to copyright strike Rick's channel. He truly is a master of music instruction and his analyses and walk-through of popular music hits is a work of art in itself. Major artists and distributors should be chomping at the bit to have Rick do a video covering one of their songs. The exposure he provides is something HE should be charging THEM for.
    1
  4575. You met my friend and former bandmate, Dr. Capps! He sent me a picture of the “coolest dude” at the senate hearing.
    1
  4576. Thanks for all you do, Rick. Already bought the Beato Book, etc. I want to make a point about this video (and pop/rock music), and your struggles with getting some of your EDUCATIONAL videos cancelled (What Makes This Song Great). After watching this vid, as well as the previous one on the Top 10 Pop Songs, I went off and subscribed (premium) to Spotify (no endorsement...). I'm not at all a fan of current music and musical trends, but information like this, sharing your love, knowlege and respect for all music, is what drives the entire industry - and it's made me take a closer look and give it/them another chance, personally. It's shameful of those record/publishing companies to give you a hard time when you're HELPING them increase public interest in their bands, and the music industry in general. Also, a shout-out to Luke! It's insane that we get to watch live, 1-on-1 interviews like this - Carlton, Frampton, Paul Reed Smith, to name a few more. Keep it up, Rick!
    1
  4577. Actually never been close to learn, laugh and cry at the same time. SO touching! Is there a Nobel Price for a super educating force like mr Beato?
    1
  4578. My son, when he was younger, didn't understand, how people could not hear when they sang off key. He does not have perfect pitch - not that I'm aware of anyway, we haven't checked actually, his father's a musician and like Rick Beato says a perfect pitch is a fun fact and fascinating, but not really relevant when you want to create music, relative pitch, on the other hand is (for some people with perfect pitch it's even a handicap since they don't feel well compromising with where the "correct" hertz/frequency should be).
    1
  4579. I very rarely comment on youtube as it's a cesspool of idiots. But this has to be the best interview about songwriting ever. Good job.
    1
  4580. Thanks Rick! Probably the best video I've seen yet.
    1
  4581. This could very well be my favorite interview you’ve ever done Rick. My hats off to you and Michael.
    1
  4582. Rick. I've seen a few of your videos, and enjoyed them immensely. I didn't subscribe yet though (I dunno, I just usually don't for some reason), but made an exception and just subscribed. Hit the notification bell and liked as well. I hope that helps. I can't understand, for the life of me, why anything like this gets blocked. All it does is benefit the artist. Anyway, don't give up. Cheers!
    1
  4583. The only reason I am listening to Steve Via right now is because I don't have a Rick Beato record to listen to.
    1
  4584. I think that's the most words I've ever heard from Derek in an interview. That says a lot about how he must respect and appreciate Rick!
    1
  4585. Rick, come on man!!! Having interviews this cool is just not fair to other youtubers. Well done! Fantastic!!!
    1
  4586. Rick your interviews, are more of a conversation. Between two people who love music.
    1
  4587. Such an honour to sing and play music with you Rick! Thanks for having me and damn I love all these songs x
    1
  4588. Damn Rick Beato’s high jump is insane. What athleticism
    1
  4589. Those amps sounded amazing. Tim actually sounded more raw and more bite than he usually does. I loved this segment.
    1
  4590. Epic doesn't quite sum this up. Two hours passed like minutes...wow.
    1
  4591. Wow! Rick, this is, by a long shot, one of the best videos that you have made. I know many people of younger generations will not understand why this video is so excellent. You have many great videos, but there is a fantastic message here. Hopefully, most people will see the great wisdom in this video.
    1
  4592. Are you going to do drop C# or others? Need some Alice in Chains and SoaD
    1
  4593. Whole thing is driven by the melody. Which is the “correct” way to write a song. (joke). imho. Thats why it works and has such an emotional punch. The melody def doesn't sound ‘weird’ imo.
    1
  4594. Video opens with demiurge. Best video on youtube.
    1
  4595. Rick! I hope you get to read this. First, about me: 33 years old, making music with my band 10+ years, awarded in my country for album/ arrangement/ record/ music video of the year and with local and international gigs. I think they're not so interested in making music because it's really hardwork with so much uncertainty on what will come next. I mean, so much effort to write, and to play, and to try to be relevant in your city/country, and sometimes for nothing. Digital streams are pennies, to get enough money you need to be big for the gigs, most of the time you don't earn a thing (even costs)... music business it's a hard model to make a living in a lot of places. Currently, music business works for the tip of the iceberg, millions of musician end up looking for a paycheck to live, no matter how good they are... this + virtual world is way more interesting for new generations. From their avatar, to their "virtual life" in so many games and virtual reality platforms. Music is not a way to leave behind this kinda awful world , VR is. It's like the sky people in hunger games, internet leads you to a "better world" you dont need music to get there. Maybe, decades ago, music business had another models (more locally oriented) that more people could achieve a living or get rich through music. Nowadays all is focused on some people sogwriting and getting richier, and music as a disposable entertainment product managed also by some people getting richier. But that's my lecture
    1
  4596. Rick, you are by far the best thing going in music today. This is just pure genius! Who else could have the imagination to dream up something like this? And I honestly think Jimmy would love what you’ve done. I hope he sees it! By the way, RIP Eddie, you will be missed.
    1
  4597. Who's more excited for Rick than us? I think I'm gonna need a new diaper on my head!
    1
  4598. A couple weeks ago, after recording a hiking video and setting up to record a background scene for some green screen effects, a stranger walks by and says, "aren't you Steve, the guy who records hiking videos?" That was the first time I had ever been recognized while out and about for my YouTube work. I love doing my videos and love this work.
    1
  4599. Rick, I love and hate you in the same measure. Tongue in cheek of course. I am completely baffled as to how you manage to remember the names and dates of all these records and who played on them! To add insult to injury, you actually remember the year when so many of these great artists passed away, even though you were obviously just a child when they did! And if that is not enough, you are able to scat note for note some of the most complex jazz solos ever played even though you are known for being more of the rock, blues and pop affluence! Man, I couldn't even remember what year Jimmy Page, Ritchie Blackmore or Stevie Ray Vaughan were born, and they are 3 of my all time favorite guitar players that I've been listening to since I was a child. Furthermore, I can't remember what year Led Zeppelin albums were released and in what succession, and they are one of the most, if not the most, famous rock band of all time. And forget it when it comes to remembering solos note for note even for the most famous rock/pop songs of all time! How do you manage to do it? I've come to realize that my utter lack of ability to remember things is one of the most significant reasons why I never succeeded in becoming a professional musician, my life long dream. Memory, I've come to find out, is a huge element of a well rounded musical talent. You can have feel, perfect pitch, passion and dedication, but if you don't have a good memory, just forget about it. I'm a huge fan of your memory! LOL

  4600. Rick continues to bring great interviews. This is like a master class on live setup. Nice work as always. This makes me wish I was still a sound engineer.
    1
  4601. Fuck this is a good channel
    1
  4602. I've never paid for a "Master Class", but I can't imagine any of those would hold a candle to an interview such as this. Thank you Rick!
    1
  4603. This was so fun! 😃
    1
  4604. As a fellow neurotic obsessive I would recommend putting the two acoustic guitars at the end of the line, giving a slight rise up to the Leslie cabinet, so the line of guitars doesn't jump up and then down again. I get a bit uncomfortable seeing those two guitars popping up like they do.....just a suggestion. I will survive it you leave them where they are.....
    1
  4605. ‘59 into an Overdrive Special. LOL my God
    1
  4606. This is Beato at the height of his power.
    1
  4607. Lieber Rick, ich bin deutscher, Du wirst das hier eher nicht lesen und auch nicht verstehen. Aber dennoch, Thank you
    1
  4608. “Huh, I had no idea” is something I say to myself after EVERY Rick Beato interview. This one is no exception
    1
  4609. contrarians for the sake of being contrarians are the worst. Someone gives an opinion like "creativity begins to fade after 30" they feel the need to type counter-examples as fast as their thumbs can type into their phone (whether they watched the whole thing or not), as if, Rick Beato of all people doesnt know there are plenty of people who made master works after the age of 30 lol, they dont address the actual hypothesis itself for why it may be and why they feel otherwise
    1
  4610. Great vid, Rick. I'm glad you talked about Cobain's melodic ability, which is often overlooked. To me, he's like a Gershwin or Jobim, someone with an unmistakable melodic stamp.
    1
  4611. Many of us (particularly those born before 1990) are familiar with high quality audio/video/interview/documentary-style production but until the last 5 years or so, it was exclusively a product of large media or entertainment companies and virtually unattainable for the DIY everyday person. Yes, there were tons of quality content DIY productions, but you could always tell they were "indie" due to the lack of "polish". (Not saying one's better or worse, but only that you could tell what was pro and amateur). But around 2018 or so, pro quality tools became accessible to the everyday person. Yet that did not mean the everyday person could produce pro, polished material. It took talented DIY creatives like Rick to experiment and bridge that gap between $1M production budgets and ~$1K production budgets to show that it was possible to get pro results without a prod "deal" or massive financing. While I have no idea what Rick spends on his content productions, it's still obvious looking at the early days of his channel up thru today that he was a pioneer, organically growing, better and better, to the point that it's indistinguishable from the biggest Hollywood budget films and productions. So much so that I even take it for granted because I'm so used to his quality whether visual, sonic, story telling, setting, editing, lighting, graphic overlays and more. But when you really think about it, and remove the great content for a moment, and realize the work that goes on behind the scenes, Rick is truly a legend and an inspiration to so many people in so many ways across so many industries- it's astounding and quite humbling. He may have a large team today (he deserves it) but he got here organically and with integrity and top line quality. I really find no reason to watch "TV" these days when i know i could watch any episode on Beato's channel and be endlessly entertained and inspired to strive for 1/8th of what he has delivered to us... *for FREE*. Craziness. Thanks Rick! (Not a paid promotion!)
    1
  4612. Bravo! This was one of the most delightful interviews ever. Headphones on, video on the big screen and I felt this was in my living room. Excellent work Rick, you let Billy relax and fall into his memories. Btw; great sound! Thank you!
    1
  4613. Wow! Some time you talked about a memory problem... it was excess?...rsrs
    1
  4614. WOW..so beautiful...well done, dear Rick...I had never heard this song before, until now...thank you...💗💗💗

  4615. I'm not a lawyer, but as an Academic Librarian who deals with copyright all the time I've sat in on seminars where copyright attorneys have explained this stuff. Rick's use would seem to fall under the commentary and criticism category of Fair Use. If it didn't no one could monetize movie reviews or teach film classes. But one of the most interesting things that I was taught is that Fair Use is not a right, but a legal defense. So, in order for Rick to make his Fair Use case, he would have to get in front of a judge and that costs a lot of money. So rights holders put in frivolous claims, knowing that Youtubers won't pursue it. Even as successful as Rick has been, he can't fight the legal department of Sony Music Publishing. All of this has a chilling effect on creative expression, which is the opposite of James Madison's intent in including copyright into the US constitution.
    1
  4616. How about fourth albums? THAT'S a conversation right there.
    1
  4617. Agree completely! Bridge Over Troubled Water is easily one of the greatest songs written in the 20th century, if not ever. This video is one of the reasons why I love Rick Beato, and why he is one of the best voices on music out there; and as a guitarist I particularly appreciate his perspective being one as well, and he's always right on the money about what's great and why. Keep it coming Rick!
    1
  4618. I don't know if you will see this, but you have no idea how badly I needed this video.
    1
  4619. I love that you pronounce Bach correctly

  4620. Crap, by the time I get back from my own band practice, this video will be blocked...
    1
  4621. Rick. Over 5000 comments. Hope you read mine. Please make and sell a Black tee shirt that just says "Ridiculous" in White letters. i will buy one and so will all your fans. S.
    1
  4622. Sorry Rick..I'm just an old boomer now I guess. I greatly respect your knowledge and passion for music..you're amazing..This stuff is noise to me. Painful to listen to. I'll catch your next vid. I'm just from a different era.
    1
  4623. This series has gotten so insightful with every episode. Everytime I see a new WMTSG on my feed, it bothers me if I don't play it. Fantastic job, Rick! Keep it going!
    1
  4624. I dont know why I pretend like I might not give one of these interviews a thumbsup. Here I am 6m in and Mike Mills is so comfortable and inciteful it's time to give it up already.
    1
  4625. I hate titles like this video cos they don't usually deliver, then I heard the magic words "Holdsworth". Got my popcorn
    1
  4626. Watching in Fairport, NY :-)
    1
  4627. Hey Rick! I was at the Winterland show :-)
    1
  4628. Awesome video Rick! LOVE your channel. Got my T-Shirt the other day as well. NICE!! Best wishes and prayers for you and yours. Keep up the awesome work. A lot of us out here really appreciate you!
    1
  4629. Rick, this is the video that made me subscribe to your channel, don't get me wrong I have watched the vast majority of your content and enjoy it immensely. I can relate to most of your experiences (except the support of my mother). I was not very good academically but managed to carve out a career as a telecom and IT engineer somehow. My passion has always been music, specifically guitar playing, and I suffered from feeling inadequate, and still do, cycling up and down. This goes back to not getting support from my parents and lack of peer recognition. I know I can play thanks to my wife, friends and band mates, I play in a three piece with a singer (when covid is under control I hope to get back out) we self recorded in my home studio all of our CD except the the drums. This video has given me inspiration to double down on my projects as I have been having serious motivation problems recently. Thanks again.

  4630. Like your son's IC shirt ! Alumum

  4631. I get to see these every day. I work in the finishing department at Gibson USA. It is a pretty guitar. Congrats, Rick!
    1
  4632. This is what 2020 needed. Holy hell this was so amazing.
    1
  4633. Fairport, NY! I always caught the bridge up on my commute.
    1
  4634. Fantastic episode. This really underscores why artists should encourage YouTube videos like this - I bought the album tonight after watching it, as I have after several other of these WMTSG videos. All publicity is good publicity, but great publicity is priceless.
    1
  4635. Oh Damn! Where's this channel been all my life?! Proud to be a new sub. 😊👍
    1
  4636. Well this guy might be a good guitar player, but i still think David Gilmour is better! 🤪
    1
  4637. This might be my favorite YouTube video of all time - thanks Rick!
    1
  4638. Rick, didn't have, probably will never have a chance to meet you in person, still, it is very heartwarming to whitness that you paused the whole whirlpool and nowadays turbulencies to pay a respect to person that have influenced you. If ever anyone invents the way to play YouTube beyond the pearly gates, I'm sure your aunty would watch your videos feeling nothing but pride on her marvelous undertake to make music became the essential part of your life. My sincere condolences to you and your dearest.
    1
  4639. Anyone else think Rick looks a bit like Negan from The Walking Dead? Anyone?
    1
  4640. Me: Ooh, Rick Beato Top 10 Metal Songs! The Video: Rick Beato is secret metal badass. haha, nice :P
    1
  4641. Rick, you have become such a good interviewer. You ask intelligent questions that you know the audience want to ask and you dont inturpt when your getting that answer. Great job
    1
  4642. I love Rick’s nod to 5 watt with the Canadian tuxedo.
    1
  4643. Awesome Episode!! I would like a Dead on recreation of the sultans of Swing Guitar tone. Many are close but no one really makes it sound like the record! .... or the real deal 80ies gated drums a la in the air tonight

  4644. He sells a track isolater on his website
    1
  4645. Rick, you Interviews with Keith, pat, Gary Burton and many other give such an insight into music, I wish I could see them when I was a kid. I think music history will thank you, 100 years from now when they will look back on our times. Thank you!
    1
  4646. Love your Channel Rick. I refer my University Contemporary Music Students to your channel. Keep up the great work.
    1
  4647. I know my comment will get lost in the shuffle but one day I would love to hear stories about working with Flickerstick
    1
  4648. first thing i noticed in this video was THAT BLUEJEAN JACKET!!! It's GREAT!
    1
  4649. Somebody had to say all this…. Props! Big Time!
    1
  4650. Ok Rick! The last episode is a special song for my wife because she wanted to listen to it while driving to the hospital when she was in labor for our son. This episode is one my wife's favorite songs of all time! She walked down the isle to the alter at our Wedding! Love your channel Rick!
    1
  4651. Not only a great music teacher but also a great content creator. As soon as I saw the title, i opened the video!
    1
  4652. Sensational interview. Unparalleled.
    1
  4653. Great video Rick!
    1
  4654. I was so happy when I saw this video because I knew it was something I could share with my grandmother. We have trouble getting along sometimes but we both love music and I knew that this would be something we could share together. Thanks Rick
    1
  4655. Rick, like so many of these, I wish there was a way to give it more than one "like."
    1
  4656. This is perhaps the best interview ever. Thank you Mike Mills, and thank you Rick.
    1
  4657. This is soooo good. She is definitely one of my favorites. Beautiful
    1
  4658. Your ability, sincerity, life experience and openness make you an incredible asset to the world. Thank you. I wish I had a friend like you hang with.
    1
  4659. I have a theory on why most bands lose their hard core fans after two to three records. 1. They fall into what I call AC/DC syndrome, their records all sound the same. 2. People want to hear the soundtrack of their youth. These new albums are not attached to better days and memories. 3. Many times the artists don’t write or perform at the level they used to. Last but not least 4. We have a youth worshiping society. Record companies and radio gravitate toward younger artists. Also, 5. The band fails to attract a new audience. This is actually important.
    1
  4660. excellent interview, it's like a biography, Your questions and your sincere curious attitude are like gas that makes the engine (Pat) running. Very well done Rick!!
    1
  4661. Hey Rick, I am sure you do have time to read comments mate, but I love your work. I listen to to your “what makes this song great” segment and I love it. I reconnect with my youth with your amazing analysis of bands that I grew up with including Nirvana, Metalica, Pearl jam and many others. More importantly I have developed deep appreciation for bands beyond era. This is thanks to your channel. I must refer to more than a feeling by Boston. I would never have leaned to understand how great that song is without your influence. Cheers mate. Thanks from down under 👍

  4666. you are just about the only reason I watch youtube - thank you so much for all the wonderful work you do Rick
    1
  4667. My sweet Lord, they're so similar!
    1
  4668. Yes, Rick, if you could get John Williams for an interview, that would be another epic video!
    1
  4669. How do we know this video wasn't made by RickAI?
    1
  4670. It is incomprehensible to me that the 2 of you haven't known each other for years. This was a couple of musicians talking about a latest project. Your movement through your questions was 💯% If you were done with an answer you moved on. When you speak complimentary to him he was totally comfortable with accepting it. Comfortable with knowing he's really good at something. This event is what every interviewer should watch several times. Great job! ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ 🌴 📸
    1
  4671. I have hope for mankind knowing that your kind of humanity, and that of Peter's, still exists... Love your work and I'm sorry for your loss... 😞
    1
  4672. You have to remember that vinyl records can't even encode sub e frequencies because they would take up too much room on the record. So, the "hit you in the gut" sub bass of EDM and the like is an artifact of the digital age, CDs and digital files.
    1
  4673. I’m glad you put the Ab minor. I always heard it as just a ninth chord with acoustic guitar. Those last few seconds are incredible w the slide. Betcha had goosebumps making this!
    1
  4674. Top 100 podcasts of all time of all genres Amazing Rick you just gently nudged him along like Hans does with his musicians and the end product amazing
    1
  4675. I see the Joni Mitchell box set by the window!
    1
  4676. "I just listened to the record".....yeah, right. I don't know if I like Rick for the knowledge, or the genuine excitement and twinkle in his eye.
    1
  4677. Sorry foe your loss, Rick. I just received word of a friend's sudden passing on Sunday about an hour ago...
    1
  4678. Criticising generic trap beats when the foundations of rock and blues have been distorted guitar bass and drums since its inception is kinda weird. Pop has gotten to a point of changing and evolving significantly every 5 years or so, Rock has its phases for sure, but ultimately has refused to significantly shift and morph like other genres do. Que boomers coming to my house and throwing tube screamers through my window.
    1
  4679. Could anyone listen to this for 2 hours? YES
    1
  4680. Man Rick. If I could pick one guest to talk to from your channel it would be her. What a sweet woman.
    1
  4681. drop B with P90s... sounds insane
    1
  4682. Rick, please stop making such fascinating videos so I can get some sleep.

  4683. This is my favourite video you've done Rick

  4684. Maby it’s just me, but Kurt Cobain’s solo in "the man who sold the world" is just fantastic. It’s so simple that even i could have played it, and the feel and the soreness along with the cello makes this very emotional. Especialy when you think of what happend afterwards.
    1
  4685. I've been watching your videos for a couple of years now Rick - mainly because you "wear your heart on your sleeve" in everything you say and do. When I saw the video title, tears started to come because I knew someone close to you had passed away. When you started to speak about your Aunt Penny it reminded me of my relationship with my grandmother. As a teenager I used to come home from school and have tea and play English card games with her (she lived in our basement suite). For you to post this video the way you did says so much about your Aunt, but also about you and how you see life. You make this world a better place because of what you do and how you do it. Thanks for all your amazing videos and may your Aunt Penny Rose be in perfect peace forever, wherever she is.

  4686. There's something extremely gratifying about seeing you get fired up about metal. Loved it! Just got your ear training course as well, it's wonderfully executed. Thanks for all you do.

  4687. hence today too much music is DEAD DEAD DEAD

  4689. Wow Rick a nice little reverb on your REC👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😀

  4690. Rick and Pat together in one room having a nice chat! God almighty, now I can die in peace... :D

  4691. Great! Stuff here Rick! Thanks for doing this.

  4692. Beato Club joined! Love these long interviews! Would gladly watch a 10 hour interview with most of your guests!
    1
  4693. Great analysis of the solo! I knew he changed keys in the melody of the head out but didn't realize he came back to the original key.
    1
  4694. Fascinating story Rick. You have a true talent and passion for music of all types, and your musical knowledge knows no rivals.
    1
  4695.  @RickBeato  I will have to try that. The advice is much appreciated.

  4697. Not sure if you've done it, but I'd love to see a top 20 guitar pedal effects!

  4698. One of the best videos I’ve seen on YT. What great creativity as well as style mastery. Thanks for posting this. Very timely with Eddie’s passing.

  4699. Loved the Chris Ryan podcast.
    1
  4700. Oh Rick - that was amazing! BTW a composer/lecturer/musicologist gave you a very nice shout out during a lecture of hers I attended about Joni Mitchell 💖Jane Ellen gave you very nice props…👍👍👍👍👍👍
    1
  4701. Interviews like this are another example of what makes Rick's Channel great!! I've been enjoying your channel on and off for several years now. I'm a retired guy who FINALLY can sit down and play and learn like I've always wished I could. Like you, my musical interests are broad. I've sympathized with you over the "Song Blocking" struggle you're too often challenged with, and applaud your efforts on our behalf... There is no sneaky exploitation of other artist's music going on here... This is EDUCATION, leading to better understanding and personal growth for your (and the artists') audience, which IN FACT benefits the artists, while helping us wanna be fellow musicians to learn more about the art, the craft; our calling to (dare to) share our own hard-earned talent with others. The service you provide to musicians young and old, and of differing skill levels is priceless. I very happily donated $20 USD to your channel! Thank you Rick!
    1
  4702. To Rick beato You will probably never read this But I will send it anyway I would like to extend my deepest condolences To you and your family for your loss The way you showcased her in this video She was very near and dear to your heart and as we can tell she was a huge impact and influence on The musical aspect I know she will be missed by those That had the pleasure Of her touching their lives Again I am sorry for your loss And as long as you keep making these videos And your family remembering her She will indeed live on

  4703. I was so interested in continuing to listen I switched over to my YouTube app on my phone. Then I discovered the "headphones" icon in the minimized video window. And to my surprise it turned off the video window and just plays the audio in the background!! I never knew you could consume "podcasts" that way on YouTube!
    1
  4704. Rick, that was an awesome entertaining video and I learned a lot!
    1
  4705. I love how this interview and Brian Mays' interview reveals that the superstars of pop music thinks the same as WE have thought of Rick all along. An amazing person and an amazing musician and teacher. Peace.
    1
  4706. Rick, you are misleading and probably discouraging many would be guitarist by telling them things like this. “The fastest way...” and proceed to solo over each one. You are a great musician and you have been playing for years. There is no fast way to learning this stuff. It takes a good teacher, hours of practice and a massive amount of dedication. That is the only way someone can get to your skill level. I’m a big fan Rick. I love your channel. I have also spent thousands of hours practicing the guitar or some other instrument to achieve my skill level.
    1
  4707. My wife looked up from grinding her coffee and said; "That sounds like modern Bach" 10 seconds later, you said the same thing. I had never heard any of his work. So, I don't really know music from this depth. But at least, I had my head down so I could hear it the way you do. The gestures were understandable, but I appreciated it even more by closing my eyes. The analytical segment made me smile too. Sad to hear of Mr. Jarrett's health issue.
    1
  4708. Rick, my husband and I both enjoy watching your channel. Thank you for sharing this loving tribute to your Aunt. What a beautiful reminder of perspective for what’s really important!
    1
  4709. Thanks, Rick, for all the work you put into your videos. I tell a lot of people about you!
    1
  4710. I'm a LA musician (both "reading" and "illiterate" lol) I've played on The Voice, American Idol, etc, Clare Fischer, with many legendary players. The session work is few and far between. I know very few musicians who are making a living ONLY playing gigs and sessions, and the number of players doing union dates for films full time on my instrument can be counted on one hand. Most teach, contract, compose, produce, orchestrate, etc on the side to make ends meet. Some tour, but I don't want to do that. I would be miserable as a full time teacher, I love DOING the work, so it's worth accepting I'll make 50k-75k/yr and being happy than getting fat doing something else I wasn't meant for.

  4711. Here in Bonn, Germany, birthplace of Beethoven we should be celebrating the 250th anniversary of his birth. Sadly, the current pandemic has pulled the curtain down on most of the planned festivities. However, I can't think of a better way to celebrate his genius Rick than this video. It's mind boggling to think of the depths of despair that Ludwig had to endure, knowing he had been given the ultimate musical gift, and yet to have that gift be taken away. A true testament to the power of the human mind... To persevere through such an affliction to produce such beauty; a true Ode to Joy.
    1
  4712. Would have been nice to actually have time to read the notes and maybe an explanation of the notes and what the annotations mean or where to find it out. Don't get me wrong, I love your videos I just like to learn new things. Thanks for the time and effort that you put into all your videos and for sharing your vast knowledge and experience with us.
    1
  4713. Rick, I'm so sorry for your loss. I wept A lot throughout this video, because I knew what was coming and because I can empathize very well with you in this. I grew up extraordinarily blessed in many ways. Some of these are the reasons why I watch your channel. In my home there was always music, musicians of all kinds and my father played many instruments and sung multiple genres of music himself. I have so many fond memories of those times in our home, other's, at gigs, and in the studio. My father succumbed this summer to the bug my brother and I barely survived ourselves. He too received the best medicine in the world but too late and his lungs had been too damaged. My aunt had been the first taken earlier this year but we didn't know what it was or have the medicine yet to try to stop it. My father was, for many reasons, the greatest man I've ever known. As I sit here tonight, watching over me from above and behind my left shoulder on my living room wall is one of my favorite photographs: Me, age 3, fast asleep on dad's lap with my left arm dropped down and my right flopped over the acoustic guitar dad was holding, his head bent down upon the top of mine and his eyes also closed. Music is an incredible love language, when we choose wisely. I buy instruments for my grandchildren... And I listen to them, because I now know a thing or two, and appreciate a lot more. Thank you again for all of your content, Rick, and especially for this one. God bless you and your family in this rough season and always. May you truly enjoy their music, and they yours.

  4714. When I first heard AD in RTF it was almost too much, the technique made it difficult for the teenage me to understand what he was actually playing so I never really bothers to follow his career. This interview completely humanized him for me. Watching Nor. Wood improv was a lesson lucious phrasing and note choice. Once again Professor Beato has captivated me with interview style!
    1
  4715. I was thinking the EXACT thing when Helen Ibe forwarded me this song. I thought, "FFS, even on my small desktop spkrs. this thing sounds BRILLIANT!. Also, If you examine the levels in the mix, her voice is the loudest instrument in the entire song. For those not in the know, turn the levels down to where you can barely hear a thing, you'll hear Adele over it all. Baboom!
    1
  4716. I noticed your guitar rig Rick - awesome attention to detail. Thats one quite unique element. STP as well I think.
    1
  4717. If Buckethead goes to KFC to get a new bucket, can he deduct that? What if he eats the fried chicken?
    1
  4718. Rick knows how to humanize every superstar guest he has, stripping away all the celebrity and fame and showing them for exactly who they are: gifted, committed musicians and recording artists like any other.
    1
  4719. Yeah the movie might be out of touch with reality but if it resembled more of the drudges and monotony of being a musician before show time the movie would be as boring as watching a symphony with no sound. Hell most movies are grossly unrealistic. Do you honestly think that killing ppl no matter what crime has been committed doesn't go unpunished. STFU and stop being a a fun Nazi.
    1
  4720. Rick's dad looks like a boss
    1
  4721. Please continue this series and go into different tunings to capture the even heavier riffs. Maybe explain your gear and signal chain choices as you clearly know how to nail these tones and tone chasers like me salivate over this stuff. Thanks Rick!
    1
  4722. Great mentoring, great stories, great storytelling skills... absolutely fantastic. Thanks, there are a lot of younger musicians (and non-musicians) who will thank you in the future for these videos about your life and experiences... as a musician and a person.
    1
  4723. ... Please welcome my dad... Come on, that kills it ! If your kids still dig you when you're gray, it means that you must have done something right ! Go Rick !
    1
  4724. This video should go in the YT hall of fame.
    1
  4725. Rick, your aunt Penny was so important to you and your musical development but more importantly your life development! I'm so sorry for your loss !! Aunt Pennyはご冥福をお祈りいたします!! 💔
    1
  4726. Love this! Random and brilliant.
    1
  4727. Man! yall ROCK! 1st-time subscriber. Love the channel. I have one request tho (maybe you have done this one other episodes) but it would be awesome to enjoy some bloopers and funny stuff at the end. Otherwise, great show!
    1
  4728. I'm surprised at the amount of people who post videos disagreeing with you. I don't know if they're just trying to capitalize from your name in their video title but I'm positive they don't understand how objective music is and it's role as a form of expression. Please don't let these douche-bags get to you.
    1
  4729. This is one of the best channels on YouTube regardless of subject and Rick is one of the best hosts on YouTube. On a channel of great videos this was the most meaningful.
    1
  4730. Let the other guy draw all the little pictures he wants. Thank you for bringing us the real stuff!❤️
    1
  4731. Man, CC referred to Bach, like Sting did in his interview. 👍😊
    1
  4732. Our living room putting carpet was red.

  4733. Once again Rick...twice in as many weeks...you've delivered great content which holds a meaning and value beyond musical pedagogy. Thanks for sharing man.
    1
  4734. what a great interview Rick.
    1
  4735. Beautiful analysis & show and phenomenal playing! So glad that my friend, bassist Jeffrey Alan Dick introduced me to your video series. All the best to you and your amazing family, Rick!
    1
  4736. I've been watching your videos since before you made What Makes this song Great #1. I just wanted to say I'm so glad your channel is doing well and I actually still go back to your old videos when I have some questions about teaching guitar to students or I need to look for a reliable source on how to play/analyze a song.
    1
  4737. Your guitar solo at the Cardinal Motion belongs in the Greatest Guitar Outros video. WOW! The Johnny Diamond story is what we need in this crazy world right now. My condolences for your loss. Keep up the great work in memory of Johnny!
    1
  4738. Watching again in honor of ban lift. But also because Joni's music feeds my head
    1
  4739. lol, "The bass is too loud" Andy Summers is probably the only person who could get away with saying that.
    1
  4740. I normally don't click the like or dislike choices, but this one, Wow! What a way to show off the 100th episode. Great job. Thanks for the breakdown. I clicked the like....and enjoyed the info. I will be around for the 200th....
    1
  4741. Not sure who had more love and pride in who between these two. I’ll call it a wash. God bless you Aunt Penny. You loved and inspired one helluva boy. Sorry for your loss “Richard”. When your time comes, Aunt Penny will be there with a piano and and hug and a kiss.
    1
  4742. Rick is surprising me by flipping his camera views. 😄
    1
  4743. I came back to watch this episode again because she dropped some really inspiring words when she was sitting at the piano. Really 100% knowledge of life and the way it works.
    1
  4744. This is a spectacular watch. I don’t have enough thumbs.
    1
  4745. Ok, you got me at the fretless bass, hilarious !
    1
  4746. I am sorry for your loss, Rick. Thanks for sharing the story and keep on going. I am a proud member of the Beato Club. It's only 5 bucks, but they are invested well. You are a great music teacher. Greetings from Vienna, Kurt Richards
    1
  4747. Why i cry so often wenn i watch one of RIcks videos, especially a WMTSG Episode?! Im so thankful for this channel, best on Youtube worldwide!
    1
  4748. That is soooo......cool and inspiring even for this recently retired ex financial analyst become Chiropractic Physician become Clinical Exercise Physiologist, 20 year intermediate level Classical Guitar player and still excited about learning and doing new things at 72 years young! You absolutely Rock with wisdom!❤🙏💪
    1
  4749. Welp Rick….. You just sold a vinyl version of Sting’s new album that I didn’t know was coming out… I wonder when the content blockers will finally figure out that this is THE NORM! You help sell records! Here’s hopin’ they wise up soon.
    1
  4750. Rick Beato interviews Christopher Cross wearing a Steely Dan t-shirt. My life is complete, I'm done...
    1
  4751. Blue is a masterclass in songcraft, as all of her work. Great video Rick, thank you.
    1
  4752. This may be the most important video that you have done so far. Two thumbs up!!!
    1
  4753. They did not see that you are a genius! Your mom did. You have, and are a gift. Thank you so much.
    1
  4754. Every blocker should see this video!!! To see how much Rick's channel improves current exposure to old artists and music!!
    1
  4755. Ok toward the end now. i first commented without watching the whole clip
    1
  4756. Man your video quality is always excellent, but this is next level. Thoroughly worth the coin you dropped to have this professionally filmed.
    1
  4757. I wanted to write something, but you've got me all emotional, again, and can't. So I'll just say thanks Rick.
    1
  4758. It sounds like it's your personal list, instead of provide a vision to what really a list like that should be. You gotta be more imparcial. Since i've been loving you got more to show than stairway to heaven Comfortably numb Is also a bad choice, we don't need THE USUAL, Dogs Is far more a better song Like in the basslines, no Smiths? No Joy division?, No post-punk? Really???? Acoustics, Never go back again by Fleetwood Mac, no? You should be more imparcial And REALLY show good music That kind of tops are EVERYWHERE The same in every f..... channel
    1
  4759. P.S. Your age...a plus to your stories concerning events of your life. Great credibility and delivery was perfectly stated. One of the main reasons I watch your channel.
    1
  4760. Please, move the two acoustic Gibsons to the enda of the guitars row! They will do a bettertransition to the higher balcony afterwards! :D
    1
  4761. Dear Mr. Beato, I've been a huge fan of yours, particularly regarding drumming vids. I've also been awe-struck by your ability to master other instruments as well. However, THIS video hit me in my heart just as much as your tribute to Neil Peart did. You, Sir, connect with your friends on a "heart" level, and I wanted to let you know that we "get" you. God bless you, friend!
    1
  4762. Ricks personality shows in all his videos…he’ll of a man, father and musician!
    1
  4763. Nothing celebrates a person more, in my opinion, than hearing someone who is talented in the same field explain why they think that person is so incredible. I had never heard of Martha Argerich until seeing this video and now I can safely say that I am a big fan. What an amazing person. Thank you Rick!
    1
  4764. Great breakdown. I wish Novoselic's bass lines and bass tone would be shown more in these. He's an amazing bass player and really creative. He really drove those songs as much as anybody.
    1
  4765. If only YouTube interviews could be nominated for Academy Awards. Holy crap was this amazing.
    1
  4766. This is so great.... like watching a National Geographic episode with David Attenborough narrating some group of lions as they go about their business from when I was a kid. History is being made here.
    1
  4767. Tremendous Rick! I had a serious lightbulb moment while watching this video. Super useful I'll be referencing this video many times
    1
  4768. Jesus, Rick. I've been watching you for a couple years now, and IMO this is the best video you've posted. Thanks for sharing something so personal.
    1
  4769. Really great watch Rick, what an epic talent in Billy and the nicest and humble guy 🙌🏻
    1
  4770. He is the only boomer I rescpect🤣🥰
    1
  4771. Is that a wine red Rick Beato signature LP Special I see?
    1
  4772. Rick - you have covered so much of the music and musicians of my life - one of the best things ( if not the very best ) on YouTube thank you . Have you ever considered interviewing Terje Rypdal ? The best ECM years … Gateway ….. some of the best music of the time .
    1
  4773. Rick Beato...You're my hero, man! I'm glad I got the Beato Book..We have so much in common in our musical tastes...I hope I have the chance to meet you one day!
    1
  4774. Rick brother, it's about YOU, others may have a guiding influence but your decisions made you who you are man, and WHERE you are.... and I for one are very glad you did. God Bless Rick
    1
  4775. Love the reverb Rick (surely it was him) added on Sting's voice on the 2nd song... such a top level detail, and so smooth, great reverb.
    1
  4776. He's finally getting some sun. Vitamin D is important for old geezers.
    1
  4777. Rick...this is GREAT! GOOD WORK sir... well done!
    1
  4778. Check out the clip from the Dick Cavett show where Oscar shows different styles. He was a true genius.
    1
  4779. How do you even happen to have the tracks for so many iconic songs?! If you haven't made a video on that topic, that can be an idea! :D
    1
  4780. I think this is one of Ricks best ever videos.
    1
  4781. This video is already a year old. But can we talk about how good a guitar player Rick is? Is NO ONE else seeing this?
    1
  4782. Rick you are the understated coolest. Use those producers ideas and make a damm record with signed vinyl available and sell it on the channel! IM SERIOUS!!! 💪🎸🫡🇺🇸
    1
  4783. I can't stop smiling! (and listening...)
    1
  4784. So Rick, and maybe I missed it, but what does your brother Ray do now? Or what did he do, if he's retired? Was he a producer?
    1
  4785. Stay brutal Rick!!
    1
  4786. Thank you Rick for this incredible work. If this was on TV it would be Emmy worth it. The scope of this interview has Smithsonian proportions.
    1
  4787. When you play from your Soul, age is totally irrelevant 😍
    1
  4788. I am still entranced by this video - a request : Martha Argerich interview by Rick Beato
    1
  4789. And Rick's "surprise" in this video, is when he briefly mirror-reverses himself & his studio a few times. Fred
    1
  4790. I’m damn glad the music found you, Rick!
    1
  4791. Man, Rick truly is one of the best, most curious, and most sincere interviewers ever.
    1
  4792. Rick, I just want to say...the Beautural 1800-Watt Steam Iron is an excellent appliance.
    1
  4793. I don’t play a lick and don’t know anything about music, I have no idea what your talking about, I thought a mixolodian was something used to make daiquiris and I still love your videos.
    1
  4794. Rick! Dude! This may be my favorite video of 2020 so far! Best part is when you so casually say, so I called up Eric Johnson... Wait what? Yeah I do that all the time, just pick up the phone and call FREAKING ERIC JOHNSON! lol. You are my hero my man! Thanks!
    1
  4795. Rick...you are, hands down, the best on YouTube, in both your analysis of great tunes, and your discussion of guitar technique! I've got your Beato Book 4.0 - which I recently purchased - and I love your YouTube tutorials. You are the master! Please keep going. Oh, I wish you would talk about artists like Randy Newman, Tom Waits, Paul Simon, Brian Wilson (The Beach Boys), and James Taylor in your What Makes This Song Great series. Surely they have "great" songs, by your criteria? Also, if possible, please talk about the Beatles' music...especially as we are seeing 50th anniversary remixes and remasters of their later work (wish Giles Martin would just do the ENTIRE catalog!).
    1
  4796. Gosh. I watch your channel & videos all the time and I rarely comment. But this one here really touched my heart. May God bless you & your family during this terrible time of immense loss, Rick. Very sad. Thanks for all you do in sharing your knowledge, your talents and yourself with all of us.
    1
  4797. This is great info .. better than reading a book.
    1
  4798. Right. It was infering to pro studio musicians ability adapt to artists and the expectations demanded of them more than understanding tone. So you better have game on level 10 to do that job. Theres no playing around
    1
  4799. Amazing! Thank you!
    1
  4800. Nice story Rick. Your THE man dude!!
    1
  4801. Pretty much the best channel on YouTube.
    1
  4802. Just awesome Rick, Peter is such a talent... I pretty much had tears in my eyes watching this, knowing I hadn't played it for a long time and it is legendary stuff.... just gotta go watch it now, can't be bothered finding the record lol Thanks brother and God Bless you both ;)
    1
  4803. As a millenial I'm so happy to have had experienced the best of both worlds.
    1
  4804. As a father, this story melts my heart. Your dad was so proud that day.
    1
  4805. Also check out the slow 3rd movement of Op. 106, the “Hammerklavier” sonata. Truly breathtaking.
    1
  4806. Rick, your channel is so great. Every time I tune in I am entertained by your great reviews and stories and educated by your in-depth analysis and commentary. If there was a "Greatest Youtube Channels" list, this channel would definitely be on the list. Thanks for all of your hard work!
    1
  4807. Purchased your book. Great book lots to work on and understand.
    1
  4808. NO ONE AND I MEAN NO ONE BUG ME FOR THE NEXT 52 minutes!!!
    1
  4809. Ive watched maybe 100+ videos on guitar practice. This is probably the most useful ive found.
    1
  4810. Rick, I don't know where else to post this so you might see it, but I wish it was Rick Beato and not Rick Rubin shooting the breeze on Hulu with Paul McCartney. The sound, lighting, and insight would all be much better.
    1
  4811. Mr Beato, your channel is rich of interesting content for those who loves music and its crafting. The WHAT MAKES THIS SONG GREAT series is perfect in all dimensions and is really sad to hear that they are being blocked. I had the chance to watch some videos before they got blocked: It is a shame due to the high quality of theirs. To my understanding It is the most stupid blocking ever: AI must be tunned in or the humans behind It need some cleverness to see It from a wider perspective... And the facts of money making behind It. Praying here for less and, why not, zero blocking for the series soon...
    1
  4812. Rick has been really transparent about his life path and it has to be a stroke of "fate" that landed him on YouTube. Because there is no one like him and I doubt there ever will be. Perhaps this is his legacy building period...👍🎶🎵🎼😀
    1
  4813. My job is to design monsters. listening to interesting conversations about metal and wrestling while doing it makes it complete, thanks Rick, Chris, this was really cool.
    1
  4814. Me: Who is this guy? Eh, I'll watch a few minutes. 58:21 later, what just happened? Awesome interview!
    1
  4815. Can you do a what makes this son great on Xanadu by Rush? Such an epic song. My favorite song.
    1
  4816. Well we’ll Rick by far the best video content ever your are the god of ingredients of the best classic rock . You made me realize out how good those bands are so natural and original genius musician, I had goose bump coming up so happy about what you did to my soul and my ears. Thank you Rick you are the king of content.👏✌️💪👍🔥👌🌈🎸🎼🎤🎧🎸🥁
    1
  4817. I guess my work can wait for 1 hour, 44 minutes and 22 seconds.... I thank you.
    1
  4818. Just finished. CAn't help it Rick.... gotta say it.... what a gift. I am so grateful for/to all of you. We gotta feel blesssed, I know!

  4819. Well, isn't it obvious from the quality, presentation, sheer talent, great arrangements and last but not the least, the apt picks, that indeed immense time has been put in. Thoroughly enjoyed the video
    1
  4820. So, the Wikipedia page for this song now says... "Record producer Rick Beato, on his YouTube channel, called this song 'the most complex pop song of all-time', due to its many unusual chord progressions and modulations in key." Welcome to the big time, Rick!!
    1
  4821. One of my favourites from that era for sure. Still love that album so much. They kinda peaked with "A Rush...", really.
    1
  4822. Rick, I would be so pissed at you for making us suffer through this garbage if I didn't get to enjoy watching the pained look on your face knowing that you have to listen to it also
    1
  4823. You two will be taught to the next generation. I share your videos with both my HS and college music students.
    1
  4824. Jesus this seriously is some of the best content EVER CREATED
    1
  4825. Rick's descent into madness here is the story arch we didn't know we needed
    1
  4826. Its impressive how much old footage he has handy

  4827. i spent half my life trying to learn the peg solo. best. beato. video. eva.

  4828. I'm very far behind with getting instagram checked. Lots of ISP & technical difficulties the last five months. Good to know what to search for when I can get back to instagram. Hope I can keep an ISP at this point, because it stands in a lot in place of driving, and printed text. I like these arpeggios though! Glad to have caught this here.
    1
  4829. This is what the internet is for. Phenomenal
    1
  4830. This is without question one of the best guitar videos on YouTube. I stared at the thumbnail for a couple of days, thinking “this will probably just be a lot of talking”. Then I watched it and my mind was successively blown with each amazing solo. Speechless.
    1
  4831. I wonder how many others there are like me; a fan back in the day, but you move on, in part because there is simply so much great music out there, tastes change, trends change, and life happens. And then this, a beautiful interview,, with an icon. I find myself back down the rabbit hole and catching up with Mr Gilmours' work with glee. Thanks Rick. Your body of work has a special historical significance and reminds us that authenticity is THE most precious thing.
    1
  4832. Master musician and, frankly, master interviewer. Rick, you did a phenomenal job here.
    1
  4833. It's huge! I had no idea!
    1
  4834. Top tip, watch Rick’s videos to the end. The gem here is in the last minute or so, delightful!
    1
  4835. Not to mention the bands you played in back in the 1990s and 2000s. And that there is a guitar series with YOUR NAME ! That's what you get for being a humble person.....hahaha. Love your channel. Best thing in You Tube !
    1
  4836. I just realized why you are such a good interviewer Rick; you ask the questions I didn't even realize that needed to be asked. Fascinating....
    1
  4837. What I love about these videos; what Mr Beato does so well, is highlight the shear CRAFT of these songs. They're like outwardly-simple machines but, when you look inside, there's all these finely machined parts working in exquisitely engineered synchronicity
    1
  4838. Hey Alexa... Clear my afternoon schedule between 12-2pm!
    1
  4839. I knew what was coming when I saw the first seconds. There has been a lot of loss in my life as well recently, and I was not sure I could handle it. I waited to watch it, because of this. But... I realized I wanted to help share your loss. And I am so glad I did. A wonderful eulogy for your aunt, and a look into how your life was shaped. Thank you. Thank you so much.
    1
  4840. You have shared many great stories about Aunt Penny. She was a delightful treasure.
    1
  4841. Damn.., I thought this was going to be a video of technicals aspects of a record label. That music Johnny found was great in deed, as your work with him. Thank you, Rick, for sharing
    1
  4842. Cavett was such a great host and interviewer. But, make no mistake, I love your interviews as well. Plus, you know music!
    1
  4843. Have not a clue what Chris and for that matter these other guys are talking about when they get in to the technical stuff,but the story telling is for a music lover magnificent,and Rick does a great job of humanizing these guys.
    1
  4844. Actually Rick Kick Ass more of these song playlist👍🏻...
    1
  4845. Music historians will be taking notes from this interview decades from now.
    1
  4846. this is click bating on it's highest level :-))

  4847. Jesus… there are a lot of us here with the same thing. Like an alarming amount.
    1
  4848. Ive always watched some of your videos when they were in my recommended but i never felt like subscribing because i thought there was just too much i wouldnt be interested in. Well, those days are over.
    1
  4849. so sorry, my mother passed away a couple months ago. I share in your grief but take joy in your lives. It's always the good times that matter the most.
    1
  4850. Rick, no matter which of your videos I've watched, it has always made my appreciation for a song infinitely better, to a degree which I would not have thought possible. Hate to be over dramatic about it, but I might compare it to a deaf person who gains the gift of hearing.
    1
  4851. I'm listening to the Atavachron (Remastered) album right now. Thank you for the recommendation.
    1
  4852. Rick I don't wanna be in a world without you.. xoxo.. Eagerly waiting for some very interesting episodes from this new series.
    1
  4853. All the right questions. Nicely done Rick. Journalism performed correctly.
    1
  4854. Mr. Beato, I am nowhere near your knowledge of everything music, but I think I could listen to you and talk all day with you about it. You have taste, grace and are unbiased. Every time I stop by your channel, no regrets,Whatsoever ! Thank you sir and keep ‘me coming
    1
  4855. Thank you for this! My donation to your channel was long overdue and hope that others will donate too. Looking forward and hoping for more interviews like this
    1
  4856. You know who needs to watch this video? Daniel Ek. That's who needs to watch this video. So he can understand what musical artists used to aspire to, that now no one can put that amount of time in on something anymore. And if they did, no one would put in the time listening to it. Because his French Fry machine needs more grease every 60 seconds.
    1
  4857. One of the best conversations really enjoyed that Rick
    1
  4858. Rainey & Purdie are straight up bad-asses!
    1
  4859. I loved this segment Rick. I love Rock but Jazz is the true art form in American music. You really show your eclectic taste, musical Genius and savvy interest in great musical taste. You are Awesome. Ive played drums for 35 years now and I understand what you say and how bad ass you are
    1
  4860. hello Rick , why do i love and i m into your channel ? = Specialized , very specialized interest ! = Stuff that musicians ( pros , semi-pros etc etc ) like to find-out about ! MY CASE . And then , your show is well done, right to the matter ! Great stuff
    1
  4861. Zoom 9030's have literally just doubled in value 😆
    1
  4862. Sorry Rick I had to turn it off. Now I gotta go listen to "Baby Blue" by Badfinger to get my mind right again.
    1
  4863. You attended University in the 1500's ? I knew Ricks fans were old, but that's taking the piss! 😂
    1
  4864. Thank you, Rick. Just what I needed to hear today.
    1
  4865. Loves these guys. This is pure gold.
    1
  4866. I sure wouldn’t image you are 18 years older than me. Geez I may need to start taking better care of myself.
    1
  4867. Great song. Thank you Led Zeppelin and THANK YOU Rick Beato...
    1
  4868. What a surprise, when you watch a video about Beethoven by an American You-Tuber and out of the sudden you spot the house you're living in (@2:40)... 😁
    1
  4869. If you can get David Gilmour, you can get Jimmy Page. We need him next!

  4870. @rick beato Well done sir... Hands down the best video on the web. The timing is also immaculate. You keep up the good work.

  4871. "There are no old books, just books you haven't read yet"

  4872. This channel is the new gold standard for YouTube videos, I'm so glad I'm subscribed. Thank you so much Rick
    1
  4873. I recently received a call on the Holladay of my aunts passing as well. I noticed and loved is how you kept her in the present tense in your introduction. With her in your heart, she'll never really be gone. She'll always be with you. Sweetest of dreams to your beloved Aunt Penny. Sleep well Aunt Mary.
    1
  4874. Uhm, a discussion about the most recognizable guitar sound and Jeff Beck isnt even mentioned?
    1
  4875. I agree with some others here. Beethoven's 9th Symphony is (for me) not only the greatest single musical work ever produced, but one of the greatest achievements in any discipline. I have listened to it dozens of times and it never fails to move me. This was a very thoughtful video...thank you !
    1
  4876. Happy New Year Rick. My health is declining and I am not playing out anymore, but always enjoy your channel. I wish you peace, love, and prosperity.

  4877. Great song, zero hate

  4878. Rick, man , your knowledge and fearless enthusiasm is so inspiring; I can honestly say you're one of my heroes.
    1
  4879. Yay❣️😊

  4880. Love these vids, you're the man, Rick 🤘 Edit: the blue guitar has the most amazing finish and lustre, damn.
    1
  4881. Hi Rick, good to see you are doing well these days. Rob is missed greatly and will be for the years to come. Rob was a dear friend of mine as well. I cherish all our stories of growing up together and the music scene. I will never forget the time music store legend George Luther kicked us out of his store Rhythm City in Buckhead because Rob had played a practical joke on him. Derek Saint Holmes and George's son J.R. were running out after us telling us to come back into the store and to ignore George. J.R. was like "Dad, you can't kick Rob and Chris out of the store, they are good customers and we are gonna need their business." George replied "They are pissing me off with their juvenile behaviors and they are getting their sweaty butter all over the store." We busted out laughing because who says stuff like that? The stuff of Legends! Good times that I will hold dear always. Rob can finally rest in peace now. We will never forget him.
    1
  4882. We can't really see those minor details that you are obsessing over, because, we're watching YOU and your guest, if you have one. But, I'm a filmmaker so I get it.
    1
  4883. This Ep. 91 on Joni Mitchell is my favorite so far. What a great tribute Rick! ❤️
    1
  4884. I can dig it, Rick. The older guard have rosy glasses on (I know I do) but your arguments are sound and are backed up with comparisons, evidence and appreciation. Kudos buddy
    1
  4885. Cool reminiscing and information. (& I'll admit, the blue room doesn't look so bad.)
    1
  4886. Thank you for sharing your insightful and sincere thoughts on YouTube. You are still one of the most honest YouTube content creators out there. In saying that, I have to add that many of the YouTube channel owners are not who they are in real life. What I'm trying to bring across is that your honesty means a lot to me. And that is why I'm subscribed to your channel. Besides creating good content, you're sharing your thoughts which keeps me engaged from beginning to end with every video. I don't like to leave comments, because of sometimes it's better that way for various reasons. We live in a strange world and music iand it's artistry is really the best way to escape from all that's happening in this world . However it is also quite sad to see many mediocre talent out there getting a lot of attention, which is quite frustrating for us "the gatekeepers" to sift through to be able to get to "the good stuff", the true talent. There's so much more I can write over here, but I think the bottom line here is you Rick have inspired millions of musicians young and old"er to never give up and "up their game". Thank you Warm regards Derrick Badenhorst Port Elizabeth, South Africa 🇿🇦

  4887. Levenway has the best, most unique production on the EP, imo.

  4888. Send 'em back to school Rick
    1
  4889. Not even 5 minutes in, and this interview is already S tier. I don't even know this cat, and I'm hanging on every word. You can hear the wisdom, and I'm here for my lesson.
    1
  4890. Dear Rick, I did not know her!!!!!?????, Thank you for "introducing" her to me; I am just a damn guitar player. This is mindblowing.
    1
  4891. Congratulations on 2M! (I have a crystal ball.)❤️🤘🏼
    1
  4892. this is so great. you deserve it too. Pat is right. I’ve been teaching music since 1983; all my guitar students watch your videos and so do I. great work in every way.
    1
  4893. Rick, I didn't see my dad much when I was growing up. He loved music and he was a guitarist himself. He taught me the spirit of listening to music and he taught me how to appreciate music truly. But I guess we didn't have the time for him to be able to hold my hand and guide me through this world of Rock and Jazz and everything around it which I now love love much myself. This is why sometimes I feel like I have huge gaps in knowledge and therefore missing out on so many beautiful sounds. You are always on an endeavour to guide every single one of us and for that I am incredibly grateful. I am so grateful because all these songs and sounds are lifechanging experiences for us all. And you help us find them and understand them and appreciate them at least partly like they were intended to you. I hope you love what you do as much as we love it and keep making all of our lives richer with every video. Thank you!

  4894. The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched — they must be felt with the heart. ❤❤❤❤❤
    1
  4895. Rick, this is the very first time I've ever watched your program. Your title grabbed my attention, and I'm glad I watched it, and got to learn about your Aunt Penny. I'm so sorry for your loss, and I know there will be a big vacancy in your heart for quite a while. I'm very glad that you had Aunt Penny in your life, and that she was such a loving presence to you for all these years. I have subscribed to your channel, and I look forward to seeing what I've been missing. Prayers for you and your family during this very difficult time!
    1
  4896. Your channel is a hub for music appreciators, Rick, and it's one of the best things you could ever have created! I'm happy you're happy doing it!
    1
  4897. This is my favourite Rick Beato video - such insight, unbelievable technique and talent and his playing so beautiful from the moment the the hammers strike the strings - his touch is exquisite
    1
  4898. Wow, I'd say 80% of new music is missing any or all these elements. Great video Rick!
    1
  4899. Just got tickets, hope to see you talk about some Beatles tunes!
    1
  4900. When you opened up with that sik Demiurge riff I knew this video was gonna be wild. I plan to be 90 and impressing my grand kids with a drum cover of Tool’s The Pot. Great video and concept. Makes me think!
    1
  4901. BRO. This is why the internet.
    1
  4902. @rick i surelly can say that you are the modern version from our old and very loved “Guitar Player” magazine… you became an open door for for this market that miss much such kind of attetion and details. Congratulations for the awesome work!
    1
  4903. Rick, the computer generated photo of you on the tag of this video is ideal for this topic. Your hair was perfect, I.E. auto tuned. I suspect this was intentional to make your point. Nicely done!
    1
  4904. that jlc record is super good

  4905. I watch but rarely comment- This was an excellent, thought provoking video Rick ... Thank you.

  4906. Riveting content, pure gold Rick.

  4907. The excess smoke sounds like a Sunn O))) show... they should've just rolled with it and gone into a drop A drone
    1
  4908. Is Rick Beato perhaps one the best interviewers of all time across ALL genres? There is a strong argument to be made.
    1
  4909. Who are you knuckleheads smashing the thumbs down 👎🏻? Why are you even here???
    1
  4910. Thanks! As a music lover technocrat but untrained musician, Beato's interviews and deep analysis add so much depth to my enjoyment of music. X sounds great and Y sounds like crap - but why? Rick will tell me in worda I can kinda understand.
    1
  4911. Long time subscriber. I never comment but this was simply awesome! Thank you for everything you do. As a music educator, it's great to be able to point today's kids towards something that is engaging and meaningful on youtube. Again, thank you!
    1
  4912. Thank you for teaching us new things, Rick. 🙂👍

  4913. Our deepest condolences goes out to you and your family my brother!!! The Smith Family

  4914. Luke is Luke, an American treasure. Rick's series of interviews will be historical...

  4915. I dare you to do “hey” Beato

  4916. Your appreciation of and such in depth breakdown of an incredibly broad spectrum of music is truly unique and something to be treasured! Genuine and beautiful!! 👍🏻👍🏻

  4917. Library of congress worth seriously

  4918. Love Rick, love Dave Grohl. Never liked Nirvana. Don’t like Billie. Just my thoughts. Nothing more, nothing less.

  4919. Can we please talk about how good Rick's videos look and sound? Love the colors and the songs sound better than on my streaming service in the car. <3 it!!

  4920. That bit from Badge is one of my favorite riffs, too, but definitely needs the leslie to get the full chills.

  4925. Rick,I love all your work,but this is probably the most important video you've made so far.
    1
  4926. Lot of people said * never meet your heros* but sorry M Gilmour was so generous for this interview. I can't imagine the thrill your got Rick to do that. David Gimour was the one and only guitarist to get me to feel amazing emotion while listening . Thank you Rick for this lovely moment i guess it was amazing for you to
    1
  4927. Bless you. Bless you. Bless you. Hard to type anymore with tears in my eyes, Rick..........
    1
  4928. Rick I think the difference is since you're in the industry you're always getting that infusion of new blood. The spirit of your Aunt also lives in you my brother. 🙏👍🏼
    1
  4929. D---A---M---N! Talk about deconstruction, explanation and communication: this is IT. Peter Frampton has always been one of my favorite musicians ever since the first album I ever bought: Rock On, Humble Pie. Peter has a language that is unique and if anything he's improved with age. He's the shining example of what happens when a supremely talented person doesn't get all hooked on how great he is and how entitled he is to destroy his life. He's a true hero of rock and roll. You absolutely let him Shine On! Thank you.

  4930. How about you try to take on the Kid Charlamagne solo?

  4932. Hey Rick I had open heart surgery to repair my valve as well. I had regurgitation as well, I was in full congestive heart failure…. And I’m very lucky to be alive!!! I was in the hospital for a month December 25 to January 25. Your channel kept me going. You’re so important to all of us, and what you’re doing is really important! Speedy recovery
    1
  4933. This video idea is not only cool, it could also easily be the best thing that I've seen on youtube lately!!! Please keep this up as a series. It inspires me as a relatively new guitar player to keep on rocking!!!!
    1
  4934. So sorry Rick.
    1
  4935. Wowow!! What a beautiful document of your amazing journey on youtube. This is the pinnacle of what the web was supposed to be about. It's almost like everything you did in your life was a training ground for bringing so much important information to the world. Without you and your experience, most of this great information would have been lost to time. Rick you continue to be a shining and inspirational light in a messy world. I haven't seen a few of these, so I must go back and find them. All the best for your future on YT, we can't wait to see what you have in store. From all of us . . . just plain thanks.

  4936. I only play Pentatonic because it elicits the upbeat mood and feelings and it falls in my voice range. Besides, I know my limits and stay in my lane. Good stuff Rick, thanks!

  4937. Jimmy Webb in a discussion of topics only him can talk about and won't be witnessed anywhere else but on Rick's channel. The stories -- Oh my God. Thank you so much, Rick! I can die now. ;-)

  4941. Hi Rick , what a beautiful, genuine, self effacing, gentle, caring , proud, talented woman she was . You were frankly lucky to have each other . Her playing of yesterday, was very influential and touching and I’ll take that with me , if you don’t mind ! Sorry for your loss Rick ; you have 10,000 memories to take with you 👍❤️

  4942. Congrats on reaching 3 million! Here's to the next 3 million!

  4943. I’ve never listened to her music but I’ll definitely go check her out now
    1
  4944. I've watched, and been inspired by you for I don't know how long. For me this is your most inspiring video. My brother passed away 2 days ago. He was the first of my siblings to go. There are 5 of us left. I'm touched by your passion for your friend.
    1
  4945. WOW

  4946. Anyone know if the Vox and Eko were the same guitar as I believe Eko built some electrics for Vox?

  4947. Apparently John Dowland played lute with his teeth, and set fire to it with lighter fluid. Crowd went ye olde nuts. I'm sure there's a YouTube video somewhere.

  4950. I had no clue Rick worked with needtobreathe

  4951. I watch these and I have no idea what any of it means. It's two wizards discussing spells and runes and potions as far as I can tell. But I also can't stop watching.

  4952. Nice solo and licks! Drop a new vid and hit Goldberg's Deli (Saw you up there, I had my bass with me!) Just a regular ATL Thursday.

  4954. BTW....Rick is a national treasure. Thanks for all your hard work Rick.
    1
  4955. Rick is THE man. I ran into him at a Starbucks in Atlanta with my daughter and he couldn’t have been nicer. We exchanged emails before leaving and actually followed up with me. He also remembered my daughter’s name. Again…Rick is THE man.

  4956. This is probably the most inspiring and beautiful story you ever told. ❤️❤️❤️ to moms everywhere.

  4957. HI RICK! it was a very nice surprise to see you on the LEGAL EAGLE chanel! :D
    1
  4958. "although he looks a LOT younger than me" is what Rick should have said!
    1
  4959. This is a great video to watch. Rick is the sort of guy who a lot of us probably look up to because of his music knowledge and passion, so to learn where some of that comes from and to learn of another great musician is a fantastic thing. Once again Rick, this is why I keep coming to your channel.
    1
  4960. I started today by watching What Makes This Song Great with Foo Fighters' "The Pretender" and ended it with this. Rick, the depth and breadth of your expertise never ceases to amaze me.

  4963. It’s hard to know what to say. I have basically worshipped and revered Keith since I first randomly came across a Dark Intervals cassette when I was 18. I was stunned by the deep introspection of the whole thing and hooked for life. I got to see him and (usually) his trio play live in the SF Bay Area 5 times over the years. I think he played solo twice. Once I took my brother with me too and he loved it. He’s always seemed somewhat guarded even cryptic when speaking publicly or being interviewed but this is lovely no matter his struggles post-stroke. Your encyclopedic insight and understanding of both his music and music in general clearly helps break down whatever walls he might normally have put up. I love this so much and so grateful that he still has so much to say. From the bottom of my heart thank you for spending so much time and effort doing this and for Keith taking the extraordinary effort to do this and speak in such beautiful candid detail about his life and career.

  4964. Great Ted Talk.

  4965. After performing last rites for a patient with 5 minutes to live... Priest: Do you have any last wish? Patient: I'd like to hear the live version of Comfortably Numb. Priest: But that version is 9 minutes long. God: It's okay. I'll wait.

  4966. Next level you tube videos. 🙏

  4967. It took 9 people to "write" a song that's a rip-off of somebody else's? And it's still just pre-programmed electronic disco? Between the two, I prefer the less over-produced sound of the Dagny version, where you can actually hear her sing, and it's pretty good singing (yes, I know there's plenty of auto-tune on both). Since you did the video on how all of today's pop music is "fixed" by computers to be perfectly in time, I can't unhear how dull and robotic it is. Ok, rant over, I think it's time for me to get the Led out again 😀

  4971. Where you shopping at Kroger this evening?

  4972. One of the most unorganized and entertaining videos I've seen on this channel!!
    1
  4973. I, for one, am excited for Rick's channel's pivot to BJJ content.

  4974. When I saw the thumbnail I was kinda skeptical, but when I saw it was really Jericho, my jaw dropped. I love it!!

  4975. Rick I am going to share a little story about myself and my family. What you are doing with this YouTube channel is the absolute 💯 best content in the world. Who doesn't like music of some sort??? Correct? Am I missing something? Ok... a little back story here on myself and my family. I was adopted, into a very musical family. Country western, bluegrass, ear players... wanted so badly to get good at a instrument but I ran into that wall that I think everyone runs into and I gave up. Fast forward to present real time... I am in Columbus Ohio at OSU in the James. Just had a cancer tumor removed from my spine. Most of my YouTubes involve mechanical things, tractor, pulling, fabrication work, tools.... you get the picture. I walk past my big ol Gibson J45 accostic and a little epiphone electric and always wondered what if... what if I pick those back up. I came a cross you, your channel by accident. Now I have healing to do and that means free time. I do have a hard of hearing condition but the way you teach I think you are the man. You have a beautiful heart and soul sir. Your Aunt Penny was my uncle Emmitt. I look forward to atleast a reply. Cancer is not a death sentence. I think laying here and listening to you get so into something you enjoy is such a inspiration for me. I am going to string up my J45 and see where this goes. I will spend money with you sir. You are my hero right now. I wanna make music

  4976. Rick...you are the best interviewer. Period.
    1
  4977. @Rick Beato - I have some hearing loss and always keep Closed Captions turned on, so I noticed that every time you say "G sus chord" the captions changed it to "Jesus chord." Thought it was kinda funny when you said, "Jesus was the first chord I learned to play on guitar!" But what really made this fun to watch was seeing that big smile on your face keep getting bigger as you talk about those early days when you were first discovering the joy of music; Joy which you now pass along to millions, via the internet.

  4979. Wow. Simply one of the best YouTube videos I have ever watched. Just wow.

  4980. Thank you Rick from France. You interviewed the musical icon of my life, the guy that almost invented the Melody with a capital M... The guy that composed all this beautiful music that gave me strength in my bad days and coloured my bright ones... I don't know how to thank you more than that. Keep on giving us gems like that !

  4981. Rick you're a super interviewer🔥 You recall facts as fast as playing a guitar solo⚡

  4982. Rick Beato -You have great talent and subsequent observations. It's no wonder you have so many subscribers. Thank you for your insights.

  4983. That Sunn Beta in the background. Rick couldn't be any cooler

  4984. Rick Beato is recording Music History with all this Interviews/debates/hang outs ... absolutely amazing, Once I get trapped on a video its impossible to leave
    1
  4985. Silly me, I thought it was Doug Rappoport. His solo album is a Masterpiece.
    1
  4986. This is absolutely ASTONISHING!!! What a truly engaging and charming man, that Daniel Lanois. This interview is beyond words. Thanks, Rick, for making this a part of our lives now. I don't regret one single second of this truly awesome and inspiring interview. Kudos to you both.

  4987. Rick...so stellar...wow...you are the progeny of Alan Lomax with so much more ...God bless you and your gifts.. Billy's the bomb...wow😊

  4988. Great list! I also loved the Marilyn Manson story ha ha ha ha
    1
  4989. Imagine it the other way around. At any point there will be a huge AI hit album by let's say an artist still alive. Somebody has to promote the album on stage live. So that would be the real artist. That makes this some kind of musical symbiosis. Wouldn't that be something. And how about the rights? The real artist would be fake, ohh man what a world ;)

  4990. Hi Rick, sorry for your loss. I remember the live stream with Aunt Penny. A really nice person. I was sharing in your sadness as you remember her. RIP

  4991. Can we just stop and drool over the tone Rick is getting out of that SG Special! 🙀
    1
  4992. Hey Rick, you should look into InFlames from Sweden. Would be fun to hear your opinion regarding their music.
    1
  4993. Please listen to title track “Belonging” 1974 ECM by Jarrett in a duet with Jan Garbarek’s tenor saxophone. Might be the most beautiful song I have ever heard.

  4994. I think this is the most valuable channel on youtube 🎸👍

  4995. Wonderful dedication to your dad. He clearly means the world to you. ❤️🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️
    1
  4996. Hands. Down. THE COOLEST. Episode. You have ever ever ever done. Loved your choices of guests. Loved their takes on this as well as your own. I think this is ine of the most original ideas out of the YT guitar community of all time. I swear its like everybody reviews the same damned pedal/guitar/guitar puck wax/capo warmer/wtfever/etc within 5min of each other. The lesson guys do the same cliche break down of performances. The lesson guys, well, if i hear one more schmo say one more word about CAGED😑....*deep breath. Counting to 10. Calm blue ocean.* Rick, i found this to be a breath of fresh,NOT RECYCLED air. Thats why you the creative mastermind.

  4997. The "Y2K bug didn't happen" because computer engineers like me spent several years reworking all our software to avoid it, at a cost of billions. People should be applauding it as a problem successfully headed off because the effort matched the problem, please. Sorry, very sick of people using it as joke, or worse, an example of experts creating false hype.

  4998. We’ve come a long way since celebrating 200k subs together. Congrats, Rick!

  4999. Would Bach, Stravinsky or Miles Davis be "stars" today? No. The music industry has de-emphasized the album, and the compositional skills necessary to compose on a vaster scale, for a downloaded singles format. Hendrix had singles, certainly, but it was his albums (and the things you couldn't hear on the radio) that drew fans to him, and he is on record as not wanting to play his "hits" as his career went on. Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Yes and other major acts of the 70s were album oriented bands who had little interest in producing singles. You bought their albums to hear the whole thing from start to finish -- for the concepts, the lengthier compositions, the stuff you couldn't hear and were not what was vomited forth hourly and daily on radio. I know this is sounding like the old man yelling "get off my lawn", but the music industry has actually pushed listeners away from the album and bred a generation of listeners with little patience for anything longer than singles cluttering people's iPhones, for vacuous, cookie-cutter and repetitive nonsense with little musical merit, for units over compositional value. Fifty years ago this year, Jethro Tull released "Thick as a Brick". It had no singles. It had no discernible separate songs. It was 44 minutes of continuous music meant to be played in its entirety. It went to #1 in the U.S in 1972. That would not happen today. I am glad to have grown up in a time where it was meaningful.

  5000. . . Great interview if I could take my eyes off Rhett's guitar 🎸👀 . . never crazy about double cutaways until I saw this one!

  5001. Hey Rick, as an elementary school teacher, there’s nothing more annoying than trying to show your students a (kid-friendly) YT video, only to be hijacked by ad after ad, banner after banner, etc. The solution: Create an account in “ViewPure,” which allows you to paste YT links into ViewPure, which then gives each video its own unique link that you can then upload to your YT channel for ad-free viewing. Please know I’m in no way affiliated with VP (lol)...but as a guitarist, I’m all for ad-free Rick Beato videos!
    1
  5002. Rick, it's obvious Gilmore really enjoyed speaking with you as much as you and all of us enjoyed your interview with David . One can see how these powerhouses light up by being in a serious and relevant conversation. These guys are not used to someone as skilled at music and interviewing as you and it's a breath of fresh air for everyone, You da Man.
    1
  5003. Greetings from Canada Rick. I should have known you were from upstate New York! You’re practically an honorary Canadian. Keep up the great work!
    1
  5004. So many people here moved by your words and your music. So many people's tears for you and the friend you lost. You broke me up.
    1
  5005. Delighted to see you giving Damien Kelly some love. He's a saint and scholar and certainly deserves to spotlight you've shone on him 💪
    1
  5006. I probably seen 99% of your interviews. This one is right there on top with the one with Daniel Lanois. Such a nice chat between you two. i Loved every minute of it. Probably time to call Stewart now and try to book him is bit so that you had all three of them on you show. Thank you! thank you
    1
  5007. Nobody but Rick could have conducted this interview.
    1
  5008. Rick, Wish I knew before now that you had a channel on YouTube. 'Thought I was the only one nuts enough to break down Tom Scholz' work in such detail. Bravo! Thanks for the analysis. No one could say it better. - Bill

  5009. This interview is so good, i almost got tears in my eyes. Real quality Content.

  5010. yeah Rick!! ! MESHUGGGAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! \m/!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  5011. I have to concur this is one of the best videos I have watched in a long time. Those were three stunning versions of the solo. Hats off to the recreation of the solo backing track. That in itself was outstanding.
    1
  5012. I will recommend your video to my friends. Keep up the good work. Amazing stuff,really! Greetings from Ol’ Sweden.

  5013. Great sound. Now if your band could get some decent equipment 🙃🙂🙃
    1
  5014. Dear Rick, this is amazing. You are such a great contributor to the music education world. Thomas and you have such an authentic energy together. Thomas' music mystifies me, still. For so many years I have loved his work. In June of this year I will spend two days with him in Malibu at the Hollywood Music Workshop. This interview is a unique opportunity to prepare for the time upcoming. I am a pianist and composer and have always marveled at the soundtracks Thomas has brought forth. This deep dive into the Shawshank and other scores is simply wonderful. I am so grateful to you for posting this for all the world to experience. I will continue to follow you and look forward to viewing more of your posts. Best regards.
    1
  5015. Thank you, Rick. These interviews -- especially those outside my natural lane -- have been eye-opening (with personal favourites being those with Michael Beinhorn, Thomas Newman, Rick Rubin and Brad Mehldau). I won't call myself a guitar player... even though it's the only instrument I pick up and play every day, but I'm starting to allow myself to see me as a musician in the broader sense. Please keep doing these.
    1
  5016. One skill you didn't mention in your brief self-bio is your ability as a top-drawer interviewer of world-class musicians! You ask penetratiting questions that challenge & enchant your interviewees. I don't know how you might word that without conceit. As is, you don't come off as conceited in this piece. I so enjoy your videos, Rick!
    1
  5017. There are ten thousand stories like this for every Queen biopic but not told this well. The reward is the process not the result. This would be a great indie-flick in the spirit of Kerouac.
    1
  5018. Rick I was listen to Howard Stern on Sirius radio and he said something like "I was listening Rick Beato interviewing Dweezil Zappa". Howard Stern listens to Rick Beato.
    1
  5019. This interview exemplifies what value an extremely knowledgeable, intelligent and invested interviewer adds to the whole experience, bringing out some incredible insight from David. I'm sure that all the guests absolutely love participating in such an incredible experience where the questions being asked are so in-depth and interesting. Superb job from both. Will be watching more than once that is for sure. Congrats Rick and thank you David for all the years of wonderous music
    1
  5020. Rick can you do a breakdown of some stuff from Tomb of The Mutilated by Cannibal corpse. Thats some brutal music. cheers
    1
  5021. That Crowfield guitar solo of yours is amazing! It takes me on such an emotional journey, and I love it. And I'll echo what everyone else here is saying: my (very belated) condolences on the loss of your friend Johnny, and yes, you are a great teacher because you are an excellent communicator. I mostly just watch your videos on top songs, or parts of songs, and occasionally other things, and I feel like I come away with such an enhanced appreciation for the musicianship of the many songs you feature (or at least try to feature) on your channel. That you're able to be effective like that with someone who is not and has no ambitions to be a musician speaks to your knowledge and love of craft. Please don't ever stop doing what you're doing. And darn it now I gotta go get that album! 😃 P.S.: Now I keep listening to that track over and over and I wish you would do an extended version of that solo on your channel. It's got this kind of almost dreamy and heroic quality.
    1
  5022. Impossible to go better than this on all Youtube contents... Thanks master Rick for all this sharing and for keeping up the best of the best songs ever made .. Pearl jam will always be more than a band.. I always considered them close friends ... The ones that we need to listen to... <3

  5023. Love this channel and the expert interviews by an expert!!

  5024. Maybe your best video ever, Rick.

  5025. This demonstrates well how good Angus actually is

  5026. Mr. Beato. Rick. This is the funniest video of yours, by far, I have yet come across. Your flabbergastedness is unmatched. Love ya.
    1
  5027. I refuse to leave comments... It's a waste of my time...🤦 Oops 😂
    1
  5028. RICK....you're in awefully strange territory here. You're messing with "what is". The world is has so much weird shakey ground right now, so I say..... do a ton more of these vids! SHAKE THINGS UP!!!
    1
  5029. I think we got a bigger problem here. I got my wife to watch this video and she wants to know how would she know a song is out of tune if she never heard it 😮
    1
  5030. Just mesmerizing. And FWIW I was not a Nevermind fan back in the day... But I messed up cooking dinner because I just couldn't turn it off. I have to go back and listen to Pumpkins and Nirvana again ...
    1
  5031. Yes, a different type of Beato episode, but a great Beato episode!
    1
  5032. What an incredible story. You spoke from the heart regarding an important issue. I very much identify with your story, Rick. Thank you.
    1
  5033. For the first few minutes I really thought Rick was kinda losing it with all the talk of balance and negative space. Then, at 3:40, before Rick said anything, my first thought was "there's way too much space between that couch and the John Lennon picture". I fear for my sanity.
    1
  5034. Give us Pete....soon

  5035. Wait, Rick, you were a cellist? Sincerely, a cellist who picked up guitar 😂

  5036. And nobody can copy you Beato. You m**********r genius too 😂

  5037. New subscriber here...this Frampton episode is just....wow!

  5038. Tim and Rick the knowledge and experience between you two is amazing. !!! I could listen for hours. Thanks. Looking to more collaborations from you guys..
    1
  5039. I love this video. Might be one of my favorites of yours bc of the personal stories. Thanks for sharing! My mom was instrumental in me becoming a musician as well. No money growing up but i took piano lessons somehow...
    1
  5040. I respect the exercise, KNOWING that, even more than Stairway, I truly don't think the original can be improved upon. So, hearing the humility of you and Phil makes it that much better.
    1
  5041. I teach at a university and I'm one of the teachers nodding their heads saying"yup" when you said students only play during their lessons. I heard that whole previous episode and you hit the nail on the head, completely on this. I'm not shocked a lot of people didn't listen clearly and went to their auto-pilot default setting, the usual "generation-gap-you're-out-of-touch-old-man" cop out. Don't worry about them. You went over their heads by talking about MUSICALITY.
    1
  5042. Wow. That was every bit as good as I hoped it would be. And I can't think of anyone who could've been a better interviewer of Pat Matheny than Rick Beato. Thank you, gentlemen.
    1
  5043. Its almost like indie metal or something... love it!!
    1
  5044. Not sure how you didn’t devolve into Chris Farley ( “…remember that time…”) but you not only killed it but I’m not sure anyone else could have done this interview
    1
  5045. Truly amazing to see. Rick played the solos of Nunu Bettencourt and Christopher Cross., their friends blew up their phones telling them to check it out. These interviews are next level and 2nd to none.
    1
  5046. I am not a musician and have no idea what Rick is talking about .... but it is really interesting :-) Subscribed!

  5047. I'm losing count of Rick's 'alternative universe lives'.
    1
  5048. tik-toky, that brilliant adjective. Nice, Rick. This is whoever and 12 other people. "Tries to be retro, but misses all the great elements of the past".
    1
  5049. Rick, you are such an inspiration to me. I would actually say, that you've saved my life a several times in my darkest hours, when I lost hope. You are a lonely light in the darkness shinin bright to lead me back to the sense of my life, to lead me back to music. Thank you so much!!
    1
  5050. I made a point of listening to your presentation through a pair of Bluetooth speakers. The quality and definition in the sound of the drums from just three mics is really impressive. Fantastic video Rick.

  5051. Great running into you and Tim at NAMM, Rick!!! 🤘🏻🎸

  5052. If a band doesnt change, they get bashed for being the same, if the change too much, then they are sellouts.

  5055. Didn’t realize how happy I’d feel seein Papa Rick Djent.

  5056. Hey Rick, Perhaps the reverse thought experiment might provide you with some insight. I turn sixty in less than a month, so we’re sort of from the same pond (old white guys). I grew up in a violent, chaotic environment, one in which I was never safe (home/school/church). I associate traditional church music with horrendous abuse and violence. (Jungle Love) Steve Miller was being played while my school’s best and brightest sexually assaulted me. Up until I was 19 years old, I have almost no happy memories or associations. Once I managed to be freed from the abuse, I developed a love for music. I can go through lists of music from about 1982 onward and find a bazillion tracks I love. But, the top 40 AM pop stuff from my middle school through high school years tends to make me feel physically ill. Just about any Steve Miller song will bring on flashbacks and panic attacks. And believe me, I’ve spent more hours than you can count in therapy. It’s helped, but the terror is pretty much hardwired in. I can tell you this (I'm a neurobiologist): As a general rule, the deep associations (fun, safe, love, danger, fear, etc.) that the brain develops with a given genre will not change much over time. This is particularly true if the associations are highly positive or negative. Rage rock may not be your go-to music at 90… But since it puts a big assed grin on your face today, it will tomorrow (provided something doesn’t go organically wrong in your noggin.) Peace, Love, and Cocktails. PS I trust you’re wise enough to be vaccinated against COVID.

  5057. Beautiful Tribute. For a parent, losing a child is the hardest thing you can go through. The pain never goes away. It's there until your last breath. I know, it's been 24 years since we lost our middle boy. The hurt is just as deep now, as it was the day he died. RIP Peter.

  5058. I begin to see why your heart is so big, Rick Beato. May I learn to open my as you do.

  5059. Really cool lesson. I've never seen the different fret hand techniques explained this specifically or this well. Thanks!

  5060. Hell of an informative conversation to start with "we don't really have a plan". Love it.
    1
  5061. The interview we all wanted.
    1
  5062. producer rick didnt want to let go of producing, youtube rick wont make a 'quitting video' when he quits youtube. the only course then is of course make a 'i wont make a quitting video' *before*😂 he quits. eyeing a new camera or mic for your channel, but only used it once for 'home movies'? the title of this video had me worried. glad career 4 isnt over yet!
    1
  5063. Thank you Pat so much for doing this! You're one of my all time favorite musicians.
    1
  5064. And it’s important to know when you’ve gotten a good haircut ,, good haircut Rick 👍 nice to see you outdoors and Great message
    1
  5065. Wow. I'll admit, I have never heard of Martha before your video. Such wonderful technique & power....even now as an almost 80 year old. And to do it all by memory....Fantastic! Nice Grogu, by the way.... Why not have Ludwig Goransson on in an interview? Nik
    1
  5066. I've watched all the interviews I can find with Rick Rubin bc his point of view always makes me think, questions and listen differently. This is one of if not the best interview with him ever, we get a slight glimpse of how he really knows his craft, they way he breaks down Wildflowers is incredible, a true masterclass. Thank you Rick Beato for making this happen and Rick Rubin for being you.
    1
  5067. there are many things we take pride in. Being human isnt usually one of them Ricks videos and his comment section makes me proud to call myself a human being
    1
  5068. It's official. Rick is THE rock musician interviewer of all time. There is no second place.
    1
  5069. It is so satisfying to watch you living your dream Rick. We all get to live vicariously through you. Keep up the great work brother.
    1
  5070. I remember those days gone bye .As they say "never dispise the days of small beginnings " A journey of ten thousand miles begins with one step.Well Rick you have circled the Planet many times by now buddy :>)
    1
  5071. Wow. This video had everything: a set of valid points to make, understandable conclusions, masterful video and script editing. And some very deep thought and consideration. I appreciate you.
    1
  5072. That's the result of having both perfect pitch and proper music theory knowledge!
    1
  5073. Cool how you make this a music channel. As a drummer (insert joke) I just love how you bounce around the music and explain it per instrument. All for free! You the man RB! Nailed it on this one!
    1
  5074. God Bless Rick Your dad really helped you become the great musician that you have become .And your other family members too . You come from a musical family . And we are your family .Thank you

  5075. Coach Jacoby. FHS?

  5076. A complete joy. Thank you. Not only are you a fantastic musician and musicologist, you also know how to listen to people. Have a great Christmas.
    1
  5077. Just bought the 4.0 Beato book. Ingesting this resource slowly. What a amazing way to learn with videos like this! Thank you Rick. Helps tremendously!
    1
  5078. The way you were able to get Billy Corgan open up and actually interact and show his passion, was amazing! The way you were able to get Ygnwie Matmsteen interact and show his passion, honestly and openly, was awesome! Your interview rekindled my love of Ygnwie's work, after watching so many of his interviews go down in flames because the host wants to get "juicy" or "racy" comments from him. Rick, you have the perfect interview style! You engage with the person on a human and musical level and just record what happens when you talk, anyway that is the way it looks after editing and everything. It's apparent that the interviewee feels open and comfortable with you and they don't have to be on guard for the "gotcha" questions.
    1
  5079. I could not be ANY MORE captivated!

  5080. Great to know..Hope for us all.

  5081. Just got the tix! Can't wait!

  5082. Educational is an understatement.

  5083. Three years have passed since the last time Rick wore a tie. Rick, I say it is time for you to sell one of those Les Pauls on the background and invest on a second tie!
    1
  5084. I've two denim shirts I liked filed away hating fashion but not wanting to look like a bad verson of Bob Seger. By the blessing of Rick, I shall dig them out again :) PS Rick/Anyone if you read this, I was listening to "bat out of hell" other day and thought guitar tone was like Boston/Scholtz? Just a passing comment, I know BOH guitarist is himself noted, etc etc. But still, listen to it.
    1
  5085. Rick, I think you should add the suffix "Archivist" to your self-description. What you explore / unearth about the journey(s) the people who made the modern musical world what it is should go straight into the Smithsonian. Period. Grats, dude. (As a Canuck, anyone who gets asked to dinner BY Joni Mitchell is tops in my book.) '-)>
    1
  5086. Every now and then you see a docu about a famous musician on netflix or whatever but somehow it always feels distant. And then we have this channel that feels like you're casually sitting at the kitchen table with Sting, drinking a bottle of wine, talking about music like you would with any other musician/friend.
    1
  5087. Said it before, this series is awesome! How about the Geddy Lee Rickenbacker tone from “A Farewell to Kings” through “Signals”?
    1
  5088. Rick says “Wait. It’ll be worth it.”. I’m a simple man. I grab a beverage and I wait.
    1
  5089. What's with the 119 thumbs down? Easily the best channel on social media, I may not like or even know some of the music he features, but it's still interesting and I learn something from them all. This channel made me WANT to play again after many years of hating music. Thank you Rick.
    1
  5090. I follow about 85 people on utube. I can count on one hand how many times I've left a comment. This time is one of them. Condolences on the loss of your great friend Rick. We should all be so fortunate as to have the friendship of someone as unique and knowledgeable as Peter in our lives. May he rest in peace.
    1
  5091. My gosh what a sad story about your dear friend. You sure do have a cool heart Rick and an awesome spirit for giving back and helping others. Watch your channel almost once every day and have for some time. Not a patron since I have a kid who just graduated and helping support him (he’s a great drummer though and I’ve shared a number of your posts with him). Just truly appreciate your spirit Sir...

  5092. Thanks for sharing. My son is 6 and on the autism spectrum and has an ungodly memory and he learned all the presidents at 4 too; couldn’t help but laughing at that part of your story. I always worry about his future and how what his trajectory in life will be. Your story gives me such warmth and comfort in my journey with parenting. I’m always trying to find that one “in” where I can use something he is interested in to really help him use his hyper focus for something that will help him truly grow and help him throughout life.

  5093. Rick. Thank you for this. Just enriched my life. 'Nuff said!

  5094. Rick I am new to your channel. I just watched this video and wanted to hit the dislike button, because I dislike that your Aunt has passed, but I changed my mind and hit the like button because she was awesome! Thank you for sharing her joyous presence with us.

  5095. I'm here because of Rick. Thank you Rick have a great 2023 😁👍

  5096. Mr. Beato, You encompass everything that I have desired/endeavored to accomplish on the guitar. I am glad that I found your channel, and look forward to becoming a loyal follower!
    1
  5097. I hate every song, but I still like these videos
    1
  5098. The comments section on Beato vids never fails to deliver. I love this crowd... Was I the only one who got teared up a few times watching this? I can't really explain why either... I just did.
    1
  5099. Dear rick, I am not a musician - can't play a note. But your enthusiasm and love of music makes me wish I could thank you for the insight and inspiration
    1
  5100. OK, wasn't even close. I assumed the ground rules.
    1
  5101. Hey Rick, If you're reading this mate I just wanted to say sorry for your loss. I lost my favourite Aunt earlier this year, six months after losing my father, both to cancer. So I feel your pain mate. I can see you're hurting. Hope you're ok.
    1
  5102. Rick, that was your best video yet. The video was a great heart felt tribute to your friend and so incredibly sorry for your loss. We soldier on.
    1
  5103. sitting here watching this while I am at work.. I keep saying "yeah.. yeah.. oh thats awesome.. wow, awww man.. GO RICK GO". My workmates keep looking at me like I am crazy.. so I threw it up on the big monitor in the operations room and made them all watch it. Next thing, everyone is saying "yeah.. yeah.. oh thats awesome.. wow, awww man.. GO RICK GO", and I am chuckling to myself.. not just because I got to share Rick's joy and expertise with them, but because I got to watch it twice, at work :P

  5104. Great interview... of course... Victor Wooten!!! One the most humble people I have ever met.
    1
  5105. One of the best videos you've ever done Rick! Challenging the acceptance that iconic solos cannot be improved upon with a little outside of the box thinking. They were all great in a way! Can't wait to see more
    1
  5106. Hey Rick, when does the Beato Book of Interview Technique become available?? The world needs it!
    1
  5107. I guess once you're a genius virtuoso, you are for life.

  5108. This is the only channel I have ever subscrbed to.
    1
  5109. Its the new YT phenomenon: Realyze. It will mortal souls like mine more educated in music and i love every beat of it. Thanks Rick, got your books and waiting for new super content.
    1
  5110. Rick, it is so passion the way you present the music that I got emotional too at the end. Congrats for amazing work and keeping doing this videos, because make my days better and better
    1
  5111. Amazing vid Rick, your channel is a gold mine of knowledge and wisdom. I've been playing for 53 years, design, build and repair music and pro audio gear, this channel is always inspirational both musically and technically. 100 thumbs up.
    1
  5112. Special credit goes to that Gretsch dumset...for being sexah AF!
    1
  5113. out of all the channels im subscribed to i think this has become my favorite channel ...and this episode was exceptionally good ...thank you Rick Beato
    1
  5114. Rick is by far the greatest interviewer in the music universe he is so knowledgeable and picks up the nuisance which the artist really appreciates
    1
  5115. I can't even remember what I had for breakfast and Rick remembers 1976! (insert SIGH here)
    1
  5116. The influence Aunt Penny had on you has been shared with everyone you have reached, and a permanent positive impact was made on the world. Death can never take that away. A life shared and celebrated is a life well lived.
    1
  5117. As a millennial and teacher at a study course revolving around Game Design & Production, I kinda agree with most of the sentiments of Rick here. But at the same time, it’s still mostly generalising. I talk to young students (18-25) all the time, essentially every day about games and other media and there’s a lot of appreciation for music still. Many are hardcore fanboys of certain genres and sometimes even specific bands, the latter being less common from my observations. I think it comes down to the individual, but we also live (and they’ve always lived that way) in a time of information overload. Games provide stimuli, both audible and visually. And many games are about accomplishing something. Back then, trying to emulate a famous guitar player and becoming as good as that person is probably comparable to becoming a good player in a game these days. On top of that, they know that no one, or most people won’t make any money as musicians. Decades ago, music was THE THING because of the lack of alternatives. The Video Game scene didn’t exist the way it does today and there was quite some Stigma (“Nerds”). That’s gone now. By comparison, it seems that music alone just can’t compete with the promises of virtual realities. We “moved on”. I find it sad personally, since I remember buying CDs in my local store - that’s a concept most young adults don’t even understand. I did that before they were born. Time flies and moves on. Doesn’t mean that you won’t find many young Metal heads in mosh pits on festivals or young adults wearing band Shirts, though.

  5118. Rick, you're not smart; you're brilliant!!! I'm becoming addicted to your channel, and your amazing talent, insight, and warmth. You're the real deal!
    1
  5119. Great stuff!
    1
  5120. it is very gratifying to see you (Rick Beato) trying to learn the impossible music to play and can't do that ... you are not alone lol... always learn from you man !!!! tks
    1
  5121. I didn't want this video to end Rick. Congrats on the 100th.
    1
  5122. Old guy my arse! You picked up on those riffs seemlessly. Kick ass video guys!
    1
  5123. Aloha Rick! Sting is in my Top 5 artists and I do think he is a genius....so are you Rick which is why I subscribed to your channel (within the first few minutes of the first video of yours I watched) and bought your products! Mahalo Braddah!
    1
  5124. Another glaring example of why Rick is.....The Best. The fucking stories. He name drops more than 500 in this sliver of music and personal history. And the "gratuitous guitar solo"? It gave me chills....and tears. Your acknowledgment and respect of Johnny garners my own huge amount of respect for yourself. You= HUMANITY
    1
  5125. I love your channel and your awesome way about you. I see where you got it from. Aunt Penny is just great and plays like an angel. My condolences to you and your family. I miss my German grandparents amd how we sang songs together. My Omi (Oma) and I sang harmony. I got that skill from her. We are blessed to have people who influence us so much. Keep rockin' and I hope to meet you some day.

  5126. Country version of the Bo Diddly beat? Whatever improves the genre I'll take it.
    1
  5127. We all need a Rick Beato to pick us up when we stumble on the journey. Props to him for being there when Mateus needed a new perspective and some wise words of advice.
    1
  5128. Playing music and learning languages fluently are two of the best things one can do to optimise brain function. That might explain, at least in part, why Martha Argerich is still so brilliant at 80.
    1
  5129. Thanks for choosing Joni. Putting in a request (prob won’t be seen) for Paul Simon: Hearts and Bones, or any of the 80’s tracks with the amazing work of Bakithi Kumalo (esp Boy in the Bubble and everything on Rhythm of the Saints)
    1
  5130. I love a bit of righteous anger.
    1
  5131. I discovered her many years ago, and no question she is one of the greatest ever to sit at a piano. In the very first track of her 'Debut Recital' record (Chopin's Scherzo No. 3 in C# minor) she plays a series of descending, overlapping notes that TO THIS DAY gives me tingles when I hear it. Phenomenal technique. BTW, I was going to mention the Scarlatti Keyboard Sonata in D minor, but you beat me to it in your video.
    1
  5132. I never comment on videos. But I am in tears over here. Thank you, Rick. Incredible.
    1
  5133. Listening to Rick break this song down makes me feel a little more normal. This is the same way I listen to music. My wife can't stand that I spend 30 minutes listening to a 3 minute song. She says I'm the only person in the world that does this. I can't wait to show her this video.
    1
  5134. So this is the real reason you have this channel. Bring it on.
    1
  5135. Rick, you're Tony Robbins with wicked chops.
    1
  5136. As a huge U2 fan and guitar player inspired by bands such as U2, I have to say what an accurate, thoughtful, well-researched and comprehensive piece..right down to the SDD-3000 pedal and its magical pre-amp! Rick totally nailed all the salient but esoteric details. This song is really about the drums, take a listen to "Desert of our Love" outtake from the Joshua Tree..that drum part forms the basis of "Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For".
    1
  5137. You are a fiend Mr Beato for this one sir, I had to delay a business meeting an hour because my single favorite podcast unexpectedly uploaded a perfect interview with the one artist I will delay my call to the heavenly hereafter for if on my deathbed his music had yet to finish, just to listen to and experience one last tune before eternity’s mystery becomes known …thank you.
    1
  5138. Now do a Gesualdo WMTSG.
    1
  5139. Rick, we don’t know each other but I’ve been a big fan of yours. I do music for a living too. Prayers for you and the rest of your family as you all share in grief. Prayers that you all are comforted by memories of your dear Aunt Penny, and thankful for how God used her to reach and touch so many lives. “May her memory be a blessing.”
    1
  5140. Books. A rare item in the hands of our youth. No longer "inciting and inviting" as the Beatles sang so eloquently.
    1
  5141. Rick's background is jazz......
    1
  5142.  @Isaiah_McIntosh  yeah I can see that in some of his vids... I think he gave up on promoting jazz artists though becuz jazz is dead to much of the current audience 😞😞 I love Jazz.
    1
  5143. The problem with your videos is they are too long, but they are so good I will watch a few. Next thing I know, I’m on the computer half the day! (Or until my cellphone goes dead)!
    1
  5144. You surely did a run for it for a couple of decades, but in the end you're still a professor, or The Professor. ;-P
    1
  5145. Awhile back I addressed you as 'dude' on a live stream and caught flack for it. I still watch your content. Now you should get the point I made in that comment. I said not to worry about what others think. Cheers Rick.... it's will never be a perfect world.
    1
  5146. I don't sign in often to youtube. In fact, I do it only on rare occasions when I feel compelled to write an opinion or a review. In this case, I happen to agree with Rick on ALL counts. This is the essence; the root of the Pat Metheny Group at work: Pat and that giant composer arranger, Lyle Mays. September 15th is probably one of the most beautiful songs ever written in human history. Yup, that big. It has so many extraordinary moments and derivations fused into one gigantic spectacular performance, that is allmost otherworldly. It is a treatise of musical good taste and mastery. One of the most moving songs I had the privilege to experience in my existence.
    1
  5147. See, I clicked on this link fully prepared to invoke the name of Alan Holdsworth and talk about however hard this lick was, Alan Holdsworth had a more difficult lick. Then I watched the video. Checkmate sir.
    1
  5148. As a drummer I am completely dumbfounded at the musical craziness in this video and how it’s all so awesome even without a drummer….
    1
  5149. Take all the uncommonly insightful regular content, add all the heavies Rick's been scoring the past year or so, and I'm starting to think this may be only channel I need
    1
  5150. Damn fine list, Rick. Just bought a Beato book last Friday. Maybe now after 30 years of playing I can finally make some sense of it all.
    1
  5151. I'm happy to know you are such a fan of Oscar Peterson. I'm also a fan of Bill Evans, for different reasons. But Peterson's take on "Round Midnight' is particularly an awesome journey into harmonic possibilities and realization.
    1
  5152. Joe Squeezer’s was across from the Kodak tower. Today Rochester has the international Jazz festival which runs for about a week with some amazing artists on about 8 stages. The problem is sometimes two you want to see are playing simultaneously. My dad also passed. He played banjo pretty well and I still have the one he made that Pete Seeger played at Carnegie and gave back to him. I bet your dad is still helping you.
    1
  5153. Rick, I'm sure you know that Beato means "blessed," which no doubt you know you are. But beato also describes what you've done. Pretty good for a 60 year old. We love ya.
    1
  5154. Even though I don't know anything about Pat, or music theory, I am locked in because you can FEEL the gravity of this conversation.
    1
  5155. What makes Rick so great. His passion for creativity? I lost it for U2 the first time I heard Gloria. It only got better from there. Streets has to be my epically all time favourite. Rick your input is epic on all of these vids.....love it. Man we’re fortunate to be of this vintage in the age of our music.
    1
  5156. One of the best videos on youtube about compression, (if not the best). Thanks a lot Rick!!
    1
  5157. Rick, you do all of us fan/musicians proud. Your appreciation of good music shines through once again. Thank you.
    1
  5158. Fed up binging Netflix? BINGE THIS!!!
    1
  5159. This is the best place in the world for people who love music. Period.
    1
  5160. Super interview! But what I have noticed is the spark in your eyes when talking about the technical stuff. You should consider revisiting mixing, if only as a hobby. There! I said it.
    1
  5161. Thanks so much for this series, Rick - and really - all the time and effort you put into translating the history of rock and roll to the giant archive that is the internet. Your argument against all the blockers is totally sound - art which is discussed and analyzed will survive, while art that is "protected" from academic examination will perish. That being said.....can the future of WMTSG? include a spotlight on the Afghan Whigs?
    1
  5162. Hello Rick, This information is fascinating to me. I’m a Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame member (just want you to know I’m a legitimate professional). Would love to discuss these things. Was just introduced to your channel by a friend.
    1
  5163. Rick, don't give this guy any more of your time. While I'm not bashing Bob Dylon's works, his songs are covered often simply because they're easy to play. Most people can't play Bridge Over Troubled Waters.
    1
  5164. Thank you for introducing me to these amazing musicians. For me, watching Oscar play is a different experience than I normally have with other musicians. To me he doesn't seem so much focused on playing as much as it seems like his hands are independently possessed and he's just trying to reign them in and slow them down. I always thought that "deal with the devil at the crossroads" was just bluesman folklore, but the way he plays, I think it may be real. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to pick up my jaw from the floor.
    1
  5165. is that table just a slab on top of speaker cabs?!

  5166. Hi Rick! First, I want to tell you: I am the biggest fan of your channel, because that is my daily television! I have a lot in common with you, I am a studied pianist, I play rock guitar, but I am working as a sound engineer live and in the studio! I try to suck in all your knowledge and I enjoy a lot your personal stories! I live in Vienna and I would love to give you something back! If you want to visit Vienna, which is the city of viennese classic music(!) then I invite you for bed & breakfast so you can visit the city! Man, your channel makes me happy! I saw Martha Argerich in 2019 in the Salzburg Festival together with Daniel Barenboim conducting the Tschaikowsky piano concert No 1 and I have seen her even practicing on the stage! I was working at the festival as a technician an I could enjoy many great artists! I even spoke to Evgeny Kissin who I adored from childhood and I met Maurizio Pollini who I found much more aged than Argerich. Those pianists except Kissin are the same age, but Argerich seemed to be appearing the fittest, even Barenboim looks older. When I think, who is the biggest classical musician of our time, Barenboim comes to my mind, because he has made as well the biggest career in conducting and he knows all Beethoven Sonatas by heart,...that is insane.. So dear Mr. Beato, it would be my dream to welcome you here in Vienna like you met Joni Mitchell...! Hope to hear from you and you will take my offer! Regards Malte
    1
  5167. Hi Rick, I really liked this upload. Personally I find your reflective thinking very inspiring on what sort of music to make!
    1
  5168. no matter how much youtube hates you, they are cramming this video down my throat
    1
  5169. Even incensed, Rick Beato will take a step back and break things down in fair comparison and clearly define Fact, Fiction and Opinion; 'this' I treasure above all else.
    1
  5170. The power of Rick's ears and his ability to let people hear stuff as if for a first time never ceases to amaze me.. I have LOVED this song since 8th grade when I heard it for the first time on a field trip on a school bus's crappy speakers. The bus driver had the radio tuned to a popular rock station and let the music play loudly. Our teacher seemed cool with it. Anywho, this was in 1980 right before the school year ended. I have owned The Wall since 1982, and always listened to Comfortably Numb 2x for every 1x of the other songs. I 'thought" I had heard everything there was to hear in the song, and here comes Mr. Beato, and his commentary makes me realize there were things going on in the song I never truly recognized. The sign of a MASTER educator is someone who can make old stuff seem new and fresh. Once again, he presents a "What Makes This Song Great..." master class. As has been commented in other postings, I sooo hope this video does not get taken down. I learned so much about my favorite Pink Floyd tune, and this is why Mr. Beato and what he does is so important for music and video. Thanks Rick!!!!

  5171. You won't find this kind of interviews on overly produced TV like shows. Great work 👏
    1
  5172. This is a fine example why I subscribe to your channel Rick.
    1
  5173. Incredible. This may be the longest YouTube video I have ever watched end to end.
    1
  5174. What a beautiful and moving testament to your dad. Thank you for sharing your story.
    1
  5175. Rick has really entered a whole new stratosphere at this point… Rick, if you’re listening: get Serban Ghenea!
    1
  5176. This is why I subscribe.
    1
  5177. Thank you Rick! I've watched a LOT of your content and just love your channel, don't know if I've ever commented before though. This one really hit home. I'm 62 and have made a living with a guitar for the vast majority of my life. My current income is exclusively as a teacher, teaching from my studio built adjacent to my home, it really is a dream existence for me. I stopped performing, being burnt out on the local clubs shortly before covid. I was planning on taking 3-6 months off from gigging but then Covid hit. I miss the hell out of performing but I've watched the scene go downhill for 4 decades and just can't see myself giving 100% to a new project but at the same time I can't bring myself to say "I've retired from that part of my life" ... even though it's been 4 years. The next gig/ the next band/ the next tour was my sole focus for over 40 years and even though I don't feel drawn to do that again it's hard to say I quit, for good... maybe it IS time to say that that's behind me and embrace this stage of my life ... which is actually pretty dang sweet.
    1
  5178. Not the video that I wanted today...But the video that I needed!!
    1
  5179. This is really cool. I bought your book, but have no idea how to read it lol. Just happy to support the channel.
    1
  5180. From the White Stripes stripping everything down to the barest of bare bones to Karnivool going full 27/4 time signature prog meat on the bones, Rick is showing the full spectrum of how to rock your ass off.
    1
  5181. I have purchased the Beato Book and the Ear Training course, love them. But watching the best interview I have seen of the best guitarist/musician (IMHO) and not donating to the cause would make me feel like I was stealing! You just keep getting better, Rick! I will watch it again and I bet I will feel the need to donate again. I heard Pat Metheny Group's live Travels record in the mid eighties, turned my world upside down! Blew my mind! I cannot overstate the impact Pat's music has had on my life, my state of mind since. Thank you!
    1
  5182. Donated for this one and Ron Carter interviews. Wonderful
    1
  5183. .... this is a rare occasion where at the end of the interview i was desperate to hear more, why did it end! haha. I honestly cant think of another interview where that's happened,
    1
  5184. Wow. That's heavy Rick. So much so, it touched my heart and i had to subscribe.
    1
  5185. The clip on Jaco was so funny, Rick laughing from the heart and the gut. Wonderful!
    1
  5186. Wow! To me personally the second best interview I have ever seen. First still has to go to your interview with Keith Jarrett. Rick you are such an incredible interviewer. Thank you!
    1
  5187. Sure, the Internet has given us Russian troll bots, but it has also given us Rick Beato. Was it worth it? I think it was.
    1
  5188. Wow! I believe we should all take a moment to THANK GOD someone was there with a sound camera to record that! Absolutely the most amazing performance I've ever seen.
    1
  5189. The quality and uniqueness of this video are the reasons why you have 2+ million subscribers. You must be a happy man these days. The ideas you have distilled from your years in music are fascinating. You have certainly made me happier by helping me in my quest to return to playing guitar after 45 years off.
    1
  5190. A scholar and a djentleman.
    1
  5191. Now this is how you interview a film composer. Phenomenal. A joy to watch. Without wanting to be tedious, it brought to mind an interview with film composer David Arnold I heard on BBC radio (I'm in the UK) earlier this year. It was a long interview on a flagship programme done by a high profile BBC presenter, and in it the interviewer actually said that the sign of a good film score was when the audience didn't notice it. My jaw hit the floor when I heard it. I thought it was a spectacularly stupid thing to say, and David Arnold not surprisingly disagreed with it - more politely than I would have done. But contrast that with what Rick is doing here - this is an insightful, intelligent, in depth, musically literate interview, the likes of which you just don't see anywhere else. I'm just so glad & grateful that Rick is making videos like this, and I wish that more mainstream media outlets had the courage, ability, and depth of knowledge to cover musical content in this way.
    1
  5192. Jesus, there's so much depth to that studio than meets the eye! So many elements, each one with a history AND a purpose and you being the director of your own orchestra. You seem to really be enjoying your stuff. Keep it up master 🫡
    1
  5193. Rick Beato - wonderful musician and teacher, crappy bomb tech 😅👍
    1
  5194. I’ve been in the business for 50 years and Rick, I’ve NEVER seen a Better interviewer than you, or anyone even close to as good as you who interview musicians . Don’t know you personally but man, you seem like the most genuine and real person, Always. And I think you make these legends feel so comfortable that you don’t even have to ask many questions, because they just open up to you and get excited about it. Never seen ANYTHING like it before.. Theirs a lot to be said about being humble like you Rick. Everybody in the business should take this lesson to heart. ❤👍🏾
    1
  5195. This is one of the best and most useful interviews I’ve ever watched. As a filmaker and a musician I want to say thank you. 🙏🏼
    1
  5196. Ok, I hit the bell.
    1
  5197. Best video you’ve ever made

  5198. I was in Seattle, bought a Rick Beato grey shirt!
    1
  5199. Such a great interview. It may be about time I share this short story with you Rick. Was visiting the Blue Note in 2019 and had front row seats to see the legendary Ron Carter. Immaculate show. I had to inform my wife that who we were seeing was a legend and a rare opportunity. Before the show began we struck up a convo with our table mates. Talked about jazz and music, and I mentioned I was a guitar player and fan of jazz… this led to brief mention of Pat Metheny being one of the players I listen too, and I knew of this local Atlanta guy (I’m from Marietta, so local was relative) who has a great YouTube channel on music and a couple Metheny videos he had done. Our table mate immediately said “Rick Beato?” “Yes. That’s the guy!” “I attended music school with him.” For anonymity sake I’ll just divulge his name as Chris. Mentioned he was a jazz player too and plays trumpet. Such a small world! That’s about the shortest version of that story I can muster. Love what you’re doing, sir. Keep up the good work. Peace.

  5200. Rick, you are bar none the best music interviewer out there anywhere. You need a deal. When you are in SoCal, let me know I will buy you lunch.

  5201. Eric Weinstein is really cool. His Podcast is fantastic.
    1
  5202. I LOVED THIS INTRO. Way simple, way short, way better
    1
  5203. I have to say Rick you are the best interviewer I have ever seen! Mainly because you know music theory and know how to play as well produce! Also you know how to listen!
    1
  5204. Its been said in the comments before, but these interviews will go down in history as an amazingly well researched, intelligently questioned documents of rock n roll time pieces. These are incredible interviews and a joy to listen to, i hope the artists really enjoy the way Rick does a deep dive into the techniques and note choice, phrasing etc that they dont get asked by other interviewers.......... Bravo Rick

  5205. Read the comments, Luke! Everybody loves you! 🙏

  5206. So that's where you got your great hair.

  5207. Just casually hanging out with label presidents.. hey what you working on
    1
  5208. Love it, Love it, love it! You were already cool but the fact you pulled out Fantomas and Mike Patton just bumped you way up there. I love that album the Director's cut.

  5209. "See you next week..." what a beautiful compliment to you as an interviewer!

  5212. dude... i love your channel.. but 1st axl rose on "best singers" and now no slash? November rain? ..... My wife told me not to unsub

  5213. I saw this on my suggestion list and immediately had to watch. Even though I'm not a musician this was still very interesting and inspirational as a professional creative to watch.
    1
  5214. I'm thrilled to watch Rick, my favorite interviewer of musicians sit with my favorite guitarist of all time
    1
  5215. Awesome

  5216. After watching this video, I listened to Cardinal Motion, and especially your guitar solo at the end. Seemed pretty apropos. Actually brought tears.
    1
  5217. I watched it Rick, you did well.
    1
  5218. All this did was solidify what I'm about with what I like in rock. I don't like jazz - I never will - and at this point in my life I have to come to grips with the fact that my taste in music was shaped by the Baroque and Classical masters; but especially Baroque such as Bach, Telemann, but most of all Vivaldi. My favorite rock music and leads hit me like Baroque. We are what we grow up to be, and I'm forever influenced by playing double bass in symphonies and getting exposed to how those early composers used bass. I'm not willing to change who I am - even if I could - after playing bass for 51 years, so it is what it is. I'm not going to get something out of everything that Rick goes over, but if I can get the 5% that really works for me then it's all good. I'm still a subscriber, still buy The Beato Book, and still watch music theory videos for as long as I can stand, and for that I sincerely thank you, Rick.

  5220. Best music site on YouTube. One of a kind.
    1
  5221. Really good to see you doing this. A majority of older people(older not old!🙂) who listen to heavy metal and screaming think it doesn't take any skill to make this music. But in actual fact a majority of metal from the 2000s onwards is incredibly complex and can be very hard to play. Love your channel Rick🤘🤘

  5222. When I saw the video pop up I thought there must be loads of better choices for Nirvana songs, by the end I was all emotional and wanting to play air guitar, air drums, air bass and air vocals (ahem) 🤘😎🤘

  5223. Rick is the ultimate tour guide. Best thing on YouTube.
    1
  5224. It's been 2 hours, 12 minutes & 48 seconds since I started watching this video - 100% hooked from start to end!

  5225. Hear that sound? That's my acoustic in the wood chipper after listening to Tommy riff on the blues shuffle.

  5226. Rick amazes me. Every video, every time. So on point with relevant topics & a huge wealth of musical knowledge!!

  5227. Just got my tickets! Looking forward to your show!

  5228. I’ve never commented on any video you’ve made (and I’ve loved many). This really touched me. Damn it must have just got dusty in here. THANK YOU THANK YOU for making this and sharing it. Very sorry for your loss.
    1
  5229. Thank you Rick. You may not read this but you have no idea how you've helped me not only in learning the guitar but in life.
    1
  5230. I only watch your videos because I discovered your youtube page when I was obsessed with Wes Montgomery and you broke down "Cariba." I know the jazz stuff doesn't make you the most $$$, your top 10 lists and what makes this song great do but please if every 20th video is on jazz I'll be happy. I personally won't check in as often if you don't do any jazz.
    1
  5231. One of your best Rick.......love Joe
    1
  5232. Do I have to say it? I will anyway. Another kick-ass interview! There is nowhere else a person can go to get such an intimate, personal look at some of these superstars. Most people can’t grasp or appreciate the genius and unique qualities of The Police. But Rick does, and because of that he knows what questions to ask in order to get us mortals up to speed. Master class work!
    1
  5233. This was one of my favorite videos that you've done. Glad it got unblocked. There's something very British and medieval that's always palpable with Led Zep that I feel like can't be replicated.
    1
  5234. Hi Rick: As soon as I listen to one of your interviews that is the best one ever, then somewhere down the line an even better one comes out. (Well, that's not really the case, the are all great on their own merits.) Ted has very keen insight. Followed him for a long time. After I saw this, I felt more informed about the current state of affairs (in many areas; not just in music) and where things seem to be going. Thank you!
    1
  5235. This is the first time I watched a Youtube video and at the end felt like I owed somebody money. What a performance! This is amazing.
    1
  5236. In order to prove Rick reads all his comments he will respond to this one confirming that Red Hill Mining Town is the best song on The Joshua Tree.
    1
  5237. Thanks for a great story Rick! BTW, Alhambra Casino is still there!

  5238. Timeless conversation that's just as fun and informative today as it was when you made it. The humor and camaraderie make a wonderful experience to be in the room for. The only place that let's us be in the room with the great guitarists who worked on famous albums is Everything Music. This really confirms that the way those albums sounded perfect was through a lot of practice, even for people who are experts. How an album gets made seems to really affect the kind and quality of music. The music was more sophisticated in the seventies because the songwriters and players were listening to a greater diversity of music and they incorporated it. Today, we have a wider range of backgrounds for the people who are making popular music. But they have a narrower range of music they've been listening to. At least when it comes to melody, harmony, and orchestration. This channel is a place for people to hear and appreciate a wider range of music, and in the long run, that's probably your greatest contribution. The interviews are terrific and I appreciate how hard it was to make this look and sound decent. But that would only matter to a few historians and people who are really into the music of the past. It's bringing new fans to the music that keeps it alive.
    1
  5239. the comments are just as fascinating as the interview! what a great community you have brought together Rick!
    1
  5240. Rick, this was one of if not your best "conversation" to date. I can easily sacrifice a couple of Starbucks for this one! I'm not a musician...just a absolute lover of anything music related, and following you over the years has been an absolute joy. Now if we can only get David Gilmour we'll be set. 😉 From one boomer to another, keep on keeping on. Godspeed!
    1
  5241. You are an incredible musician and very much the real deal sir. I cannot thank you enough for your content, you have a unique way of explaining very complex things in a very applicable way. One of the very few to be able to do so in my opinion, when Steve Vai says so it is absolute truth haha! You have truly helped me becoming a better guitar player, and most importantly musician in a short amount of time. YouTube needs more people like you.
    1
  5242. Hi Rick, one of the reason, maybe the main reason, why I follow your channel is the positivity that you always show, in all of them, something not common these days on the internet. (full disclaimer: I am not even half into music as your channel is!). Now I see where that positivity came from, and it made me sad. So sorry for your (our?) loss.
    1
  5243. I missed this when you first released it. But, I had to come back and comment that this a truly wonderful clip compilation of music 'greats' that touched me deeply. Even the laughter in the kitchen with Al D. and you about Jaco are going to stick in my mind for a long, long time. Thank you for all that you do on your channel and for music as a whole. You rock!

  5244. What Makes This Song Great #? - the band is Dream Theater & the song is Octavarium 🙏

  5245. Les Hall looks like the Daryl character from The Walking Dead.

  5246. Probably the best interview I have ever heard
    1
  5247. Rick...you will make Martha the number one trending topic on Google. You were born to do this YouTube channel. Somehow I missed her all these years and I love classical music. This will be an exciting rabbit hole. Excellent video. Your Aunt Penny is proud of you....
    1
  5248. LOL! I spent 90 minutes watching your 31 minute video! Best one yet, Rick! Love it!!
    1
  5249. I had no idea who she was. I really appreciate the time and knowledge you give us everyday. I am going to look for her and the music she plays! I am a guitar player who’s learnt so much from you. I considered myself shy too and this window (YouTube) is a great channel to learn so much we need to be better people. We just have to know where to look for it. I love music and have been my passion since I first started playing when I was 13. I am 40 now and going through a divorce after 17 years of marriage. Seen all this and knowing there are people out there like her makes want to grab my guitar and try to be a better person, not only for but for my kid and society in general. Music will always save us. It did for me so many times in the past and it is going to make it now too! Thank you Rick for all you do. You bring hope into a broken society through music!

  5250. My favorite video of yours so far, thank you for sharing
    1
  5251. Thank you, very nice and informative. However, it would be nice to have the piece at the end annotated with the chords that were used and maybe the scale of the melody too. It's hard to follow by ear alone.
    1
  5252. I never watched this video even though it ended up in my feed continuously. I knew where it was going to go and I avoid sad situations at all costs. I gave in and watched today. RIP Johnny Diamond

  5253. Also, in most music schools jazz musicians are required to take a full course of western music history AND jazz history, while classical players are not required to take jazz history. The result is the Jazz players emerge as the better-educated students.

  5254. The title of this is wrong. It should be called "the top 20 singer-song- writer SONGS of all time" not singer-SONGWRITERS of all time."

  5255. ok gotta be honest, this episode made me want to subscribe AGAIN...
    1
  5256. I don't get online much as I prefer to live a life not watch it. However, there are certain individuals who present brilliant and compelling content about subjects that they "live"with passion. I make the time to listen to them. Mr. B, you are one of the very few I make time for. This vlog is, in my opinion, your best ever! Thank you for putting it together and out here for us.

  5257. He did it’s coming out soon

  5258. Rick, thank you very much for your analysis. I was fortunate to be born in London, where many of the world's groups have played. I first saw Pink Floyd in 1974 play Dark Side of the Moon (including songs from the future Wish You Were Here, although one *(Sheep) was called Ravin' and Drooling). I saw them again in 1977 performing Wish You Were Here and Animals, an incredible concert. Then I saw them perform The Wall in 10980. It only seems like yesterday. I have to admit I only understand half of what your talking about, but your enthusiasm is contagious. Critics often tear apart creative genius, you explain it and enhance it. I learned a lot about the writing of this track thanks to you. Keep it up. I hope Floyd don't take this down. I can omly assume you have their permission to do this. If so, thanks to all parties involved!

  5259. i probably don't really have the time to really dig into ypur course, but I bought it anyhow. I might get time in 2026 or later, and it just sits there waiting for me to join - but then I have done something to support you and ypur channel. Keep rolling ;-)

  5260. The sound of your guitar (and amp, by the way) is real PRO!

  5261. This was the highlight of my week. Thank you as always.

  5262. I've never commented for you to do one of these on this band, I just knew it would happen eventually. THANKS RICK!
    1
  5263. This is ASTONISHING, Thank You. You are quickly becoming the Digital Alan Lomax. If you are able to keep it going, your contribution will be similar. In 5 or 10 years, many of the luminaries you have sought out and allowed to tell their own story, my no longer be with us. Your brilliant project has allowed them to have their Own Last Words about their music and what really happened. It is not a coincidence that nearly every one of them says "No one ever asked me that" or 'You really did your homework", or as one said, "You just let me talk, you were interested" (or words to that effect). You love Music as much as they do, they see it, and that's why they respond so well. Thank You again.

  5264. Sarah Thawer is awesome! If you're a drummer, check out her coaching sessions on Drumeo.

  5265. ok this is not just a video interview but it's an historical document and a very touching moment of music and culture. Thank you Rick! I will share this to youngsters- Cheers.
    1
  5266. This was in my watch later folder, reason..because it was an hour & a half long & I'd heard Brads name yet knew nothing about him. Your recent 'State of my Channel' video reminded me. What an amazing musical education/journey Brad takes us all through! Thank you Mr Beato for your humbleness that allows musicians of this calibre to open up so freely 👍😊

  5267. WOW! That sounds GREAT all together!

  5268. History will probably remember Mr. Slate from the Flintstones, but not this fool.

  5269. When I think something is impossible....I'm coming here to get my ass in gear.

  5270. Its interesting that Rick and I are about the same age and EVERY guitarist that I admired, Rick has an interview with, or some kind of recognition for.
    1
  5271. In a canon of great work, Rick, this one will stick out. What a phenomenal conversation. Simply fantastic.
    1
  5272. what i got from this interview: Do not forget Victor Borge. seriously, only 7 minutes in, it seemed like I'd stumbled across the 45minute mark of a rare NPR interview. Rick, way to get to it and skip the vacuous irrelevancies that bog down 95% of interviews like this. great stuff. when is part 2?
    1
  5273. Clever using a Generative art thumbnail, Rick. I bet it clicks through better. Robots are going to kill us all and take over.... <just kiddin'>

  5276. Every time I listen to this Symphony I am shocked. How could anyone not LOVE it! One of the most compelling pieces of music ever written...thanks for this wonderful insight. I have learned more about music from you than I did all four years in Undergraduate School..........

  5277. Rick, are you sure you didn't make a mistake with the title? Was this supposed to be 22 guitars I haven't played on YouTube before? 8-) —Tom

  5278. Hey Rick! You are wonderful person with a very strong character and a beautiful mind, for sure a great dad and teacher too! Chapeau for sharing these meaningful moments in your life with us! Your mom did an excellent job on you! And many of us are surely thankful for the way you are teaching us new things. God bless you Rick! Wishing you many more years of health, happiness and success to come! Cheers!

  5280. hey rick :) please dont lose the motivation for the vids! You have absolutely no idea how much these mean to me as an 18 year old aspiring musician. The chili peppers vids have inspired more than you could imagine. Keep it up!

  5281. We’ll be seeing a dinner with Martha video in 6 months.

  5282. all i can say is: thank god for youtube
    1
  5283. I'm not really a jazz guy. I dig some but I'm not going to call myself a fan. That said I thoroughly enjoyed this interview! Musicians, regardless of genre have a spiritual connection. Thank you for the greatest music based channel on YouTube and beyond!

  5284. It's fun reading the Japanese translation of the lyrics. 😀

  5285. Great to see a guitar video from you! Love every video, but it's always nice to see variety!
    1
  5286. You totally need to take a dive into Friday Night in San Francisco, the live recording by Al Di Meola, John McLaughlin, and Paco de Lucía. It remains one of the finest live acoustic guitar performances ever recorded and not many younger humans know about it any more.
    1
  5287. are you kidding? 🤣 I've been a fan since Dylan's ear training videos. I became an avid watcher since did that series about pat Metheny's playing style like 8 years ago or something. Keep it up!

  5288. Now your getting it....Fun Fun Fun.... the name of this game,.... smoking

  5289. Rick- In many of the WMTSG videos, I'm not always crazy about the "song" per se. But the way you dissect a recording, whether it's instrumental/harmonic parts, and arrangement ideas or sonically/effects- It could be called, "What Makes This Track Great." But it's always fascinating. THIS ONE, though, kinda' has it all. I happen to love this song. I digested this whole album at the time. U2 connecting with Daniel Lanois is a potent, magical combination. He was on an amazing roll. Peter Gabriel, U2 and The Neville Brother, then Willie Nelson and Emmylou Harris a few years later. His own albums, coming after these records are pretty great. Major atmosphere. Lanois creates sonic weather. His lap steel playing is wild, climactic stuff too. Your old man rant about humanity in recording is tattoo worthy! Another winner, Rick. Love it! "You have to have it played by humans, and not correct it." Bingo!
    1
  5290. One of the best of all time, and Rick you have a pantheon of your own. Thank you for your humanity.
    1
  5291. I can't believe this made me cry...again! Made me well up at the Gramercy show, too. What a wonderful journey and trajectory you've had, Rick! I feel lucky to have gotten on board early on, particularly on the late-night hangs and brainstorms : ) Looking forward to another year of fabulousness and continued success for you! I hope you get Paul and Ringo. I will work on Ringo ; )

  5293. Rick what a great video and a wonderful story. I am from the UK I am 64 I was told in June this year I have stage 3 cancer, life is a bummer sometimes. What great human begins you and Peter are. When I watch a video like this it makes me feel good to see what great guys there are in the world. I hope you live well in to your 90s all the very best to you and your family Rick. Steve

  5294. That’s because, Rick, they think they’re the smartest generation. Well if that’s the case, how come 50 years ago, a manual for a new car told you how to replace the valves. Now the manual for a car warns you not to drink battery fluid. And that is all you need to know!
    1
  5295. The comments that set Rick off seem to be part of a general trend of antipathy toward experts. Rick is a music expert. Anonymous commenters don't want to admit that an actual expert knows something that they don't. When Rick makes an informed comment about music and it doesn't match their own thinking, rather than accept that they might be wrong, they attack. This pattern repeats across topic ad nauseum. Of course, there is also a bias against anyone older than about 25. Hello Idiocracy, here we come.
    1
  5296. Damn you Rick!! Now, I gotta get a SG with P90’s!! Mo money, mo money!! 😉
    1
  5297. Rick, you are the most amazing, insightful (inciteful? Haha), perspicacious, sensitive, debonair, and witty human being I’ve ever encountered! Oh, wait…I was talking about me. You’re ok too! lol Sorry- couldn’t resist. Old man humor from a sympatico person!

  5298. I see you got some “dumbles” for your amp collection… nice!

  5299. Spoken like a true music lover! I am glad i am subscribed!

  5300. Us Deadheads feel like Jerry is neglected in your videos. He has some greate stuff where he switches from using his fingers with a banjo type roll to a pick. Check out his solo from West La Fadeaway from 1987 Giants Stadium.. Also Trey Anastasio has some sick solos.
    1
  5301. Rick Beato doing top 10 lists ?:) Soon we have titles as "top 5 AMAZING songs that are GREAT, number 3 will make you cry your eyes out!", and :"What went wrong with Song/artist X??!!" ;)

  5302. Yep, totally ridiculous. BTW, Great meeting you in Guitar Center today. My 8 year old daughter was excited after you left. She listens with me in the car all the time.

  5303. Rick, your videos are so much more than content, they are so important for musicians and artists in general. They are guides for the next generation. Thank you so much for what you are doing for all of us who strive to be better.

  5304. I never comment but damn this video was amazing, thanks so much Rick. Great stuff

  5310. Era of imperfection listen to the original Roxanne by the police. Someone leans against a piano. And someone laughs. They kept that in there. I love that. Just my 2 cents

  5311. Hit me up next time. I'll go with you. Gone to plenty of great shows solo

  5312. pretty sure Rhett and Dave were added in post

  5313. Isn't it amazing when the universe goes out of its way to throw you a great clue? This has happened to me a couple times. When has a single visit to the public library done so much for you? I found my all time favorite Mozart record at some yard sale I almost walked past.
    1
  5314. Thanks for the video. What a tribute !!!
    1
  5315. I didn't know you grew up in Fairport. I grew up in Brighton and I think I'm 8 or 10 years younger than you. My first electric guitar came from House of Guitars but I spent a lot of time at Music Lovers Shoppe - the owner was very tolerant of teenagers like me coming in and mangling "Stairway to Heaven" and "Smoke on the Water". It seems to me the greater Rochester area is a rock and roll town in its weird quiet way.

  5316. Cavett interviewing Paul Simon is so good

  5317. JFC Rick, I thought there was no way you could top your Comfortably Numb video. Thank you for this one. Seal is a hero, as are you.

  5318. Rick, you are such a great interviewer. Like any great engineer/producer you set up the artist and then keep them going, only adding anything when they need some feedback. Thank you so much!!

  5319. Jeez at least change the key!!!

  5320. Rick! What a delight to have Leland Sklar on. He's a terrific interview, great player and very nice guy.

  5321. Good to hear ya❣️ Gotta bundle up so I can have some fun at working on playing this with you. Really liking these sounds of Rickism! 😄

  5322. I see we welcomed you with our traditional weather 😂🇬🇧

  5323. The man!
    1
  5324. I've been watching Rick for years, and this video is EXACTLY why I always always always stay subscribed and check in to what content Rick's putting out. This music brings back so many memories and Rick always breaks it down so I can wrap my head around it. Merry Christmas everyone!
    1
  5325. That's why we have YouTube, I definitely know some channels that go in depth about those subjects like this show. Mainstream tv doesn't have the time to do those types of shows and that's why I watch you and other channels.

  5326. Flight of the Bumblebee and The Spirit of Radio just had a baby, and it... is... UGLY! (in a good way.)

  5327. Rick…first time responder, long time fan. Wouldn’t be chiming in if I felt I couldn’t provide a definitive response. I have pondered this very question since I was a young man, which inspired my own lifetime journey through music and brought me to this conclusion: Compulsion. He was haunted. He had no choice. Unlike most of us who became musicians, Beethoven wasn’t called to music simply by hearing others perform or by the curiosity of learning an instrument. He learned an instrument because MUSIC had to force a way out of his head. For him, it was always there, waiting, fomenting, expanding, demanding. He was not just a genius, he was a messenger. He continued to write well beyond the point of self- indulgence or worldly gratification out of fear of offending his own gift. The fact that he was able to do so in such prolific scope and breadth, without the aid of sound, should inspire us all to consider what else is beyond our realm of comprehension. Thank you for this excellent episode, and for helping us all stay curious.

  5328. Rick, you are a national treasure.

  5329. Rick, you are the best interviewer by far.
    1
  5330. This maybe the quintessential Rick Beato video!!
    1
  5331. By far the Best thing I saw on YouTube in years !! thank you Rick for doing and sharing it.

  5332. I just grew up assuming Michael McDonald basically sang backup on every song recorded between 1978-1984.
    1
  5333. I mean it's no Bleed from Meshugga but I can dig it, really nice song.
    1
  5334. AAAAAAAHHHH!! Three of my most favorite Sting songs- you showed me what Dorian and Mixolydian meant and opened my ears up my appreciation for these songs tenfold. What a gift you've given me, Rick- yes, Dorian has got to be my favorite mode!
    1
  5335. I'll say it again, Rick is a brilliant interviewer..

  5336. Rick thank you for being so genuine ❤️❤️ it really draws people to your videos

  5341. Rick - this is one of the best videos I have ever seen! I love this channel. Thank you so much man for all the incredible content. Loving the theory stuff lately. Cheers man. UPDATE: chills watching this. Seriously one of the coolest things I’ve seen ever.

  5342. My most recent video got claimed as well even though it's a parody (the melody and composition are original). Same type of claim as well - someone at Sony manually watched the video and thought "hmm...this doesn't sound quite like the original melody but it's close enough so I'll claim it anyway."

  5343. Hey Rick this is amazing video...can you maybe do video of Wagner Tristan chord use.

  5344. Layla is adorable!

  5345. BS"D I find my taste evolves. Not limited to genre or era. I can appreciate my kids trap beats as much as learning about Joni Mitchell or Tosin Abasi from you. Rush however, flow through my veins.

  5346. Maybe my favorite Beato video... and that’s saying a lot

  5347. So Gwar and Slipknot get write offs on their clothing. Got it.

  5348. Rick....I love you man. That you share snippets, videos of top ten lists and musical breakdowns...they are enough for most. But you, your honesty, your compassion and your humanity cannot be questioned. You, my friend, are a stand up fella. RIP Johnny Diamond. Everyone who watches your channel and subscribes will have felt your loss and we all know now that others felt it too. Thank you so much for sharing this story. I've commented here before about how my three young daughters adore your channel and how much musical appreciation they gain from your online lessons etc. I will certainly sit them down to watch this vid becaise people come into our lives, sometimes fleetingly, sometimes for an age but they always leave a mark. Seeing their impact coming into a friendship/relationship isn't always easy nor is the fallout or loss easier to bear once they're gone. Once again...many thanks Rick.

  5349. I’ve watched many interviews with David Gilmour and I have to say he seems the most congenial and happy with you than with any other interviewer. Kudos to you Rick. Thank you for giving us this wonderful moment.
    1
  5350. The only opinion of this documentary on the internet that I actually trust, thank you.
    1
  5351. When Rick gets to the point 2 seconds into the video, we know its going to be a good one..
    1
  5352. Great video. I think it says a lot about your own maturity and attitude in life. Love that the comments are about that person. So this comment is about me. And that makes me feel good about myself lol
    1
  5353. Nearly every interview he does you can tell he doesn't want to talk about the past or old drama. It looks like he absolutely enjoyed an interview that focused on music, process and gear. Nicely done Rick.
    1
  5354. Great stuff as always Rick. You truly have a wealth of Practical Information. One these days when I get out of the hole I'm gonna buy all your stuff to add to my Library. Anyway, thanks for all you do.
    1
  5355. At the time I'm writing this (4:55 AM Eastern Daylight Time, 8/5/2021), there are just 905 comments -- mine will be 906. But Rick, you of all people, know jazz, and jazz fans and you know "what makes Jazz so great," SO it was great -- and important -- that you did this video. You've done some jazz appreciations before, and a number of fine interviews, but this one was an absolute topper, for reasons having to do with you, Ron, and the music. I jacked this one into my car's auxillary input, on the way home from running errands, just listening to the audio. It was the best thing I've heard "on the radio" in a long time. When I got home I pulled up the video on YouTube, and now Ron Carter was a joy to watch. So when can we plan on seeing the following interviews: 1) Ron Carter, Part II 2) Carter, Hancock, and Shorter 3) Joni 4) Joni, Shorter, and Hancock All of these could justifiably stand up as your first two-hour "specials." (But don't turn off your video camera. We'll want to see/hear as much as you're willing to upload.)

  5356. I've been viewing this entire series for the last couple of weeks... I love your channel. I haven't liked any videos. Time to repeat and like!

  5357. If this was ten hours long, I wouldn't have missed a second.

  5358. Respect! 🙏

  5359. I’d settle for Paul McCartney.

  5360. Rick, I took my now 91 year old mother to see Tommy about a dozen years ago. Front row almost center at Bass Performance Hall in Fort Worth, Texas. He was 20 feet away for 2 hours or so. When the performance was complete and the applause subsided we both stood up and she looked at me and said, " Well, I used to think Chet Atkins was good."
    1
  5361. Rick,,,, what a fabulous interview... and i never use that word... you are the best, and so is he... i loved his insightfullness, and his opinion on how to just accept the music of today for what it is,, a reflection of the times,, this crap, sorry is what kids want,, i feel sorry for them... i refer to it as fast food music,, but Joe would never say that.. he's way too classy and eloquent.. Great job dude,, im in Atlanta too,, hope to run into you sometime and buy you an Ardens Garden.

  5362. I will continue stating, Rick Beato is a one of a kind musician who flew under the radar of Cameras, Lights & Media, but found Social Media and he is now being recognised for his musical mastery. There should be a catergory at the Grammy's for best Youtube Musical Artist Contributing to Music, cause there is no one on YT or any platform like RB...🎼🎸🎶🎵

  5363. All these bands need Rick's amp.

  5364. This is such a heartbreaking video. Thank you for sharing all of that footage. It makes me realize how lucky I was growing up for my parents to allow me to pursue my passion with music the way I did. And still after moving out 4 years ago I still come over and share music and quality time with them. Family really is the most important and special thing. So sorry for your loss Rick truly.

  5365. never been a huge fan of Drop D (or C) metal. But I can totally see myself listening to United States or Jellybelly by the Smashing Pumpkins in 30 years.
    1
  5366. You are an absolute master at interviewing musicians and because of your knowledge of the music they make, or have made, get the very best out them. I thought your interview with Sting and Dominic Miller was the best one you had ever done, but I think you just topped that.
    1
  5367. Move your Prius you're not fucking Jesus. Perfect. LOL

  5368. I went and watched the Joni Amelia video after seeing this video. Then the capitalist in me said, that’s it! Block Rick, he’ll do a complaint video and it’s like free marketing for Joni’s video/music streams. It’s like clockwork, every time you complain, I go find the song and listen to it.
    1
  5369. Family...that's really what's most important. Thank you soo much for sharing with us. My heart aches and it brought tears to my eyes. I could see the wonderful relationship you had and why she was so special.

  5370. RICK YOU ROCK !!!!!! Congratulations !!!

  5371. Man PLEASEEE :) Bring Mike Landau to one of your sessions. Soooo little interviews of him online. And He's such an awesome guitarist. EJ is also out of this world no doubt about it!

  5372. So if you hadn’t broken your ankle maybe then I wouldn’t be sitting here watching this video? 😵‍💫

  5373. This is the Pat Metheny interview I’ve always wanted to hear! Fantastic Job Rick! TY

  5374. ❤after seeing people playing with combo amps lately. these stacks makes it perfect for what the music video and the song. those majestic stacks are legendary to say the best

  5375. Rick to all rock groups..."Guitarist under the weather or split the group? Upcoming gig and need a replacement? I can help. Just give me 30 seconds, and I can step right in :)"
    1
  5376. A great musician in this show for sure, but I still prefer David Gilmour's guitar playing! scnr Thank you for this (for me) epic interview.
    1
  5377. Rick is the only person who can explain technically the natural and spontaneous elements of music.
    1
  5378. An important point Rick makes here is that, if it takes 10,000 hours to consummate a skill, you can succeed in getting those hours in, two or three hours at a time. Most folks don't either have the ear or the drive to learn these licks on their own, kudos to Rick and even more to his dad.
    1
  5379. Don't think I've ever commented on a YouTube video before, but had to say - this is brilliant. Thank you both
    1
  5380. Interesting comparison to chess players reaching their highest rating. Just about 40 years old - three players reach their pea Between 30-40 - six players reach their peak And under 30 - eleven players reach their peak. And the highest of them all - Magnus Carlsen was 24 - still the strongest bur slowly getting less strong at 33 - but still the best in the world!
    1
  5381. Very likable reaction video, with data, where it comes from and then the take way - good work as usual. 🕐God loves you Rick.
    1
  5382. Rick, I think you greatly underestimate the clearly natural talent you have for presentation. That's cool; you're a humble guy and it shows.....you're here for many reasons but the chief one being that you, I think, 'need' to do this....to impart knowledge and nerd out about this cool stuff that we all love, in as professional a way as is possible....and you nail it every time. The entire point about it is being able to connect with your audience and you do that seemingly effortlessly and with a flow that I reckon many other wannabe presenters should aspire to match :) All this has been said before of course, so I'm just adding my palms to the general applause :)
    1
  5383. Thank you Rick. To some of us this means everything
    1
  5384. I dont believe in fate, but boy did this video turn up when I needed it! I’m a musician (not working, not in a band) just turned 40, really freaking about which direction to go and feeling over the hill and this has really really helped me reframe my thoughts. Thanks Rick, you’re a treasure.

  5385. Been watching your channel for a couple months now. Just subscribed cause I realized how great this series of videos is. I've never been a huge pearl jam fan but honestly this analysis has convinced me to dive into their music. Seriously, at work, when I'm listening to my headphones, it will be all pearl jam for the next week lol never really payed attention to how intricate their music is until watching this video. Rick, please keep making these videos, I've probably watched 40 of them by now. I love your channel and especially this series. Thank you for making such great content
    1
  5386. I just subscribed. I am very grateful to hear your stories and learn from your experiences. thank you for sharing your life with us.

  5387. In this video, which is a classic, you remind me of your late aunt. AWESOME! Thank you...

  5388. Hi Rick, I follow your channel since quite a while, thou I have no deep understanding/education in music, and since my 6yrs old son wants to play guitar, and I do have to lead by example with my 40+ I’m basically starting :D that is why this content now is much appreciated, hope you do more of educational stuff, sure there are many guitar lessons online, but I bet you find a way to do it your way, thanks :)

  5389. Great idea and so well executed by all players !

  5390. Beato is indeed a sensitive and observant interviewer, along with being humble and very informative and entertaining in so many other videos over the years. But what really strikes me about this one, once again, is the mind and memory of Rick Wakeman. He is 75 years old, spending close to 50 of those years extraordinarily functionally drunk, and yet continues to have a photographic memory of the most minute details of sessions, surroundings and people from his childhood years to the present. I really envy that. I'm a life long touring singer/guitarist, but my mind is just not wired like that. If it wasn't for my wife of 40 years, who also has a memory and recall like Rick does, I wouldn't remember 18 hours ago let alone 30 years ago, until she jars my memory about something. And then as he's telling a wonderful humorous story the way he does, he pauses on a whim and rips off something on the piano just to demonstrate a minor point of what he's talking about, and it's something that most keyboard players would have to spend weeks to learn how to play it half as well as Rick does off the cuff. And he happens to be one of the funniest people alive. He is such a monster in so many ways, and always humble and friendly to everybody. He truly is a singular, unique genius of a man.

  5391. I’ve been a life-long fan of Peter. I’ve listened to - and enjoyed this track many times over the years, but today I finally LISTENED to it. I also now understand WHY I love it. I’ve never done the “maths” behind it before, but with your help... (I have watched pretty much all of the 100 “what makes” videos), I am able to appreciate great musicians even more. Can’t wait for the next 100! Thanks Rick.
    1
  5392. Favorite Beato ever. What a fuckin weirdo. In the BEST way possible. Love this.
    1
  5393. While I had heard the name Michael Omartian before, I had no idea what a giant he was in the industry. He was a great storyteller, sharp as a tack, and seemed like a good guy to boot. Great interview.
    1
  5394. I subscribe to 150 channels yours being one of them. I think you have hit the nail on the head. The people I subscribe to are a lot like you, they cover what is interesting to them. No schedule just what trips their trigger . I find what interests me and if I like the content , I subscribe. Nuff said.
    1
  5395. Fascinating. I had no idea how intricate the process of doing a film score was until I watched this. Awesome interview. I figured I may watch some of it but ended up watching it from start to finish and ended up going to sleep a bit later than I planned.

  5396. Rick, you might not see this. Thanks so much man - I appreciate you and your commitment to this content. Fan for life from Canada!!!!!

  5398. I rarely, if ever, comment on a video. But I cannot not comment. This was an awesome insightful and fun interview. I tip my hat to you sir, beautifully done.

  5399. Hoping there can be a DeLeo brothers interview in the future!

  5400. Thank you Rick. It was your erudite questions and comments which helped develop one of the deepest and most informative interviews with Pat Metheny.imaginable. I love the mutual respect which is so evident in the conversational flow between you. And Pat was obviously really laid back and enjoying it. This really is a treasure which provides a real insight into Pat’s own personal musical journey to self discovery spanning his long career.
    1
  5401. Rick you are without doubt the best music interviewer around currently. You put people at their ease which opens them up to answer questions into what becomes a conversation not an interview. Clearly all these great artists respect you because not only have you done your homework but you speak the language of music and they know that. This one is the best yet. Congratulations.
    1
  5402. Rick, I watched this and could not help but to think of your passed friend Rob Aldridge (Umajets). Speaking of beautiful moving lines! I can't get through My Weary Eyes without getting choked up. Thank you for this video.

  5403. I don’t have the attention span I used to, but I’ll be damned if I couldn’t find a spot to pause and come back to. Riveted, and then “suddenly” it was over. Great interview.

  5404. ¡Gracias!

  5405. Awesome. Just got back from work, thought "this is long, I'll have to watch this in chunks". Wrong there, this sucked me in totally.
    1
  5406. Hi Rick, it's always fun to watch you having fun with good music. It inspired me to pick my guitar, push the keys of my piano (although my skills of doing that are limited) and look for the lyrics and translate them into german (because I'm german, of course). Thank you for having fun with good music and sharing it. Not to mention your competent explanations of what's going on musically. By the way, I love that song since ages.
    1
  5407. I recently helped deliver a baby to a couple. She is a classical musician and he is a rocker. I told them about your you tube. I hope they watch it and I hope that their child’s life is filled with music.

  5408. New subscriber here. Great story. Thank-you for sharing.

  5409. Rick I am so sorry to hear about Aunt Penny. This was the first time I've seen her and almost immediately I felt that she was my Aunt Penny too!! I'm so glad to have had this opportunity to virtually meet her but also so sad I'm all teared up that she is gone. I've never had such an experience about someone I did not know personally. My sincere best to you and your family. Keep the memories of her vivid for us as well. There aren't that many amazing and inspiring people like her in this world!
    1
  5410. This interview will probably become required viewing for every drum student for the foreseeable future.
    1
  5411. The way you spoke about the way the guitar rings out after the swell at around the 22:15 mark - it's like this sudden rush of release of tension built up by the verse climaxing with the orchestral swell just exploding out of the guitar. I mean, i've heard it so many times, but it's like hearing it properly for the first time.
    1
  5412. Rick, gonna call it now. This is your best video ever. From idea to execution.
    1
  5413. That’s pretty cool Brendan talked about Mark Krause. That’s my uncle! He’s an amazing drummer.

  5415. Your video title change worked 😂. Watching now.

  5416. Rick, if we are all still alive. I think in years to come your videos will be shown in college classes all over the "English Speaking" world. Nice legacy! Thank You Professor.

  5419. A "like" because of Rick. But I HATE this fucking song. A visceral hatred. If I NEVER hear it again, it'll be too soon.
    1
  5420. Hands down the best channel on Youtube - thank you Rick.
    1
  5421. the purple one. the artist formally known as. Attention is currency- charisma and showmanship. I think Jimmy and Prince have a lot in common, they know how to grab an audience and get people’s attention. The difference is prince valued his privacy, he wanted his work to speak for itself . Everyone who creates art now is forced to become a content creator. Which is its own skill ! You can’t be a mystery. People want a para social relationship. authors, musicians, painters, have to put their face and personality out there. You can’t be a mystery in the modern age and Prince was a mystery.
    1
  5422. So is the tragedy of Autotune that it is overused where it shouldn’t be or that it is needed as much as it is?
    1
  5423. tbh i was not a fan . but rick beato i so enjoy your videos that i am now a fan just watching this video
    1
  5424. Love your one cut videos like these. Truly catching every word you say Rick. Pleasure to listen - purity.
    1
  5425. This sound like hyperbole, but honestly this is one of the most important videos on YouTube.
    1
  5426. Rick, you and I are both music producers and it must surely have occurred to you that artists burn out for the same reason as youtubers: it's a lot of work being fresh and relevant and interesting. I've often asked myself why successful musical acts stop producing while they're at the top of their game. Because it's exhausting.
    1
  5427. Fantastic song!! Thanks Rick!
    1
  5428. Watching Rick play metal is such a lovely juxtaposition from his perceived appearance.
    1
  5429. There’s nothing particularly original about Jonathan Davis’ scat singing—Mel Blanc invented that 45 years earlier for the Looney Toons Tasmanian Devil.

  5430. Rick, I just want to commend you on your channel. I know you probably won't read this comment, but I really do believe you're doing God's work in analyzing these songs, shining the spotlight, focusing the microscope, all for the love and passion of what they represent, and the posterity for those who "weren't there" like we were when they were released. Your following is well deserved and I foresee you growing well over 5M subscribers. As a Seattle native who was in HS in 1991, this musical renaissance was truly unique in every way - I would love to see you do a video (if I haven't missed it) on that movement and the impact it has had to this day. Cheers my friend!
    1
  5431. Rick, I always first like your videos, then watch. You've earned it long time ago!
    1
  5432. Well Rick, it finally happened, I have been a music teacher my whole life and ever since I started checking out your great videos I have sometimes shared your stuff with students ... A couple of weeks ago one of my teenage students suddenly dropped out because why does she need me when she has you...Doh! At least I have a captive audience at school...🤣 Keep up the good work! 🤘
    1
  5433. OMG, you're so neurotic—it's hilarious. I love these kinds of videos where your personality really comes out. Haha. PS you scared me a little with that title.
    1
  5434. I think the next evolution in your channel is getting those LEGENDARY MUSICIANS that also have a appreciation & love of Music, that also have stories to tell.......but no avenue to express them. When i was watching the Matt Cameron interview/chat i thought to myself, this is like 60 Minutes, but for musicians. I can see more and more artists reaching out to you, or saying yes if you reach out to them, to do a relaxed, candid interview/chat about their life story of music, and the journey it took them on. I truly hope this is the next progression for your channel Rick. Love your work

  5435. Subscribed. Swervedriver. Best damn band ever. Adam, Rick, thanks, really enjoyed that.

  5436. I will not start leaving comments. Damn it.

  5437. SUCH a good story. And Joe was a prince about. Good on him.

  5438. Yeah, let's get Peter up in here!!

  5439. I'm only 1 minute 33 seconds into it and I'm finding Pat Metheny one of the most likeable guys on the planet. This is going to be great.
    1
  5440. Great discussion! Haha...not going to lie, I'm impressed that Rick has 4 SM7s in his studio to record all these guys :)
    1
  5441. Your interview with Thomas Newman is the BEST! First, he is an amazing composer because he knows how to manifest his creative imagination with absolute skill. Second. I loved how he demonstrated musical motifs based on his perception of a story and visuals (Shawshank). So your ability to draw him into this similar Oscar Peterson demonstration was spot on!
    1
  5442. “Then it gets to the hard part” No Rick, it was already there lol
    1
  5443. Love from India ,if it's not for Rick Beato ,I would not know many of the musicians and their work , plus the stories of Rick from his life ,in music ,bands,friends ,fellow musicians and the rest is so nice to listen to .I look forward to these stories .And Rick just looks and sounds interesting with his face and voice.

  5444. That interview was everything I hoped for. Well done Rick. And of course THANK YOU DAVID!!! 😃❤️

  5445. I'm 71 in 3 weeks time and I STILL listen to Slipknot, Tool, AC/DC, Motorhead, Metallica etc. . So rock on Rick. . . . Stay heavy!
    1
  5446. Interviewers, compared to Rick, all suck. Sorta like all composers compared to Bach. Yeah!

  5447. Rick....this'll end up in the Smithsonian. This is an important documentation of a true American genius. Thank you!
    1
  5448. Sounds about right. Same reason that kids don't like reading much. Requires imagination.
    1
  5449. You’re by far the best guitar player interviewer. Great job!
    1
  5450. Dear Rick, could you please interview Thomas Newman someday
    1
  5451. Shameless plug... Holy crap that made me laugh. I'm trying to pitch your program to my students. I thank they are all lazy. Thank you for a very very informative channel !! Martin Nielsen from Denmark
    1
  5452. I knew you were going to get angry Rick when that pompous idiot mentioned Joni Mitchell on his list. Like you say we have no idea who will be remembered in two hundred years but we definitely know he won't be! What a twat as we say in the UK! 😅
    1
  5453. This channel is probably the most advanced of it's type we're likely to enjoy on YT. And I enjoy it to no end. When I take a break from ATL to go visit my best friend in FLL (Ft. Laud,) we always go over to her daughter's place where she and her husband are musicians who also love Rick's work. And I think of my Dad and Mom too, both music students years ago at William and Mary, would be loving the wonderful content Rick presents. So I don't get through a day without watching Rick and FIL ( in the UK ) who feed my love of all things MUSIC. And on colder evenings as we've had lately here, I top it all off with Argerich , Horowitz, and other greats bringing staple Classics to life . Don't stop or change what you're doing , Rick, and greetings from north Buckhead.
    1
  5454. Rick, I can't say much that hasn't already been said. But one need only watch Andy's change in body language from the start to perhaps 5 or 10 minutes in to realize your gift of LISTENING. Thank you for letting all your guests share themselves with us.
    1
  5455. Great job on Talking Dead!

  5456. Rick, something similar happened to me. I was a tenor sax player in 8th grade, my fantastic teacher Fred Martinez, who was a monster sax player and woodwind doubler, sent me to the local library to find a classical sax piece by Debussy. One one side of the album was the saxophone rhapsody with Sigurd Rasher and the other side the Clarinet rhapsody by Debussy. The player was the principal of New York, Stanley Drucker, the conductor Leonard Bernstein. I was awestruck, I had never heard anything like that. It had elements of the jazz that I had listened to for years and something new and exotic and beautiful. 50 years later, still playing clarinet, saxophone, flute and guitar. All credit goes to Fred Martinez, Floyd Frame and Mom, who would listen to Ella and Sarah Vaughan and sing along when I was young. By the way, The Bundle is EXCELLENT!! If you don't have Rick's courses, get them, you won't regret it.

  5457. I love all your content, Rick, always great. Cheers from Oz.

  5458. This song belongs in that sad group of "lasts" that now exists since autotune came and destroyed popular music. Rick's absolutely right. They USED to write real music. "Kiss From A Rose" is one of the last great examples of it. The Grammy for Song of the Year quit mattering after "Don't Know Why." Now it's an absolutely meaningless award.
    1
  5459. Many musicians say music is their life but Rick is on a different level he’s well rounded in all aspects playing instruments, composing music, producing, engineering, college music professor, guitar teacher and the list goes on! Something I have noticed that is very true is when someones life is really all about music they really don’t have genre boundaries industrial metal music might be their favorite but they will also listen and appreciate almost any genre. I listen to a pretty wide variety I can listen to pop punk now and then listen to the orchestral radio station ur great grandmother listened to but I can’t say music is my life I don’t live and breath music anymore. I really have so much respect for guys like Rick and I hope the younger generations will have people like Rick so all the music from today to a thousand years ago will still be taught and cared about!

  5460. Mr. Beato, you once asked us what we wanted as your audience/veiwership/fanbase whatever, and I answered with some weak ass "I am unfit to judge" THIS! is now my answer, I would never have known it was what I wanted until it was shown to me, and I thank you for that...but your unbridled enthusiastic fandom, and oh by the way this is Miles Davis bassist along with everyone else and so cool! Wow. That was special. and I am unfit but I seem to be shaping up. Thank you Ron.

  5472. If you said to me in 1821 that the most recorded composer would be J.S. Bach, I would say: What's "recorded"?

  5473. WOW. Just finished watching this. Rick should be absolutely proud of not only getting these amazing artists but having built up such great interviewing chops. The way these guys open up shows such a high level of trust. Keep doing your work, Rick. I can only imagine how much further you can go.
    1
  5474. I could watch your videos on mute because the lighting is so nice.

  5475. Saw this video on my feed last year and, even though I didn't know any Third Eye Blind songs, clicked on it anyway. Don't really know why, just felt right. And it was really interesting! Their first album was the soundtrack to the second half of 2024 for me. I came back and watched this again knowing the album a fair bit better and it was an even better watch this time 😃

  5490. This isn't an interview Rick, this is three people disscusing their love of music, give us more!

  5491.  @RickBeato  I have an open mind and an eclectic taste but find alot of todays music unimaginative, and hard to listen to, granted there is some good stuff around but it's hard to find and thanks for the reply, I'll probably take another listen and open mind just a bit more, keep up the great work

  5493. Brilliant, Rick, and on the 250th anniversary of Beethoven's birth to boot! I've introduced many of my piano students to the 9th Symphony. I tell them: "Get a good performance - the Berlin Philharmonic under Herbert von Karajan, or (my favorite) the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen under Paavo Jarvi - and sit in a dark room in a comfortable chair with quality speakers or good headphones. As you listen, hold in your mind the knowledge that Beethoven was stone deaf when he wrote this transcendental music. You will have a religious experience." From playing in rock bands since my teens, to working in industrial environments, I have always been careful to protect my hearing. As a senior citizen, I haven't lost that much of the top end as a consequence, and I can still enjoy playing and listening to music every day. I love that your musical tastes and enthusiasm span so many different genres. If ever there was anything that could persuade someone that a Supreme Being exists, it is music.

  5495. I got to hear Martha Argerich live in 2017, during one of her rare visits to the USA - she played Prokofiev 3 in Boston with Pappano and the Orchestra dell'Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia. It's not anywhere near my favorite concerto but that was the most fantastic performance I've ever been to. I was so worried that she might cancel at the last moment, and I almost cried when she stepped out on stage and was greeted by this giant shockwave of cheering from the audience. She and Pappano also did a four-handed encore, something from Ravel's Mother Goose suite. I'm too young to have ever heard Vladimir Horowitz live - his life overlapped mine by less than a year - but I got to hear Martha, and I will always treasure the memory of that concert. Here's hoping she makes it back here one of these days.

  5498. I love ALL of Rick's videos eve though I can't play a note. This only the second song I have seen him almost "swoon" over. The other was of course Joni. PS: I think Rick loves Joni just a little bit.... Thanks for all the education and fun man.

  5500. I just watched this. This is my first public comment on any channel. Bravo. Outstanding. Inspiring. (how can there be 46 thumbs down?) Great story and memories Mr. Beato. Thanks for sharing part of your soul. It is what keeps us all grounded and better humans. Patience and kindness can sooth the soul and music is its delivery mechanism.

  5510. I was watching a lot of political videos tonight, getting seriously worked up and hopeless, and then I found this video.

  5513. It’s not just become valueless, it’s become consumer driven not artist driven. The world never asked for Kate Bush, she appeared, on her terms, in her unique way and changed music. Most music isn’t music any more. It’s content.

  5533. Now this was probably the best spent hour on YT this year

  5534. Imagining Beato at home as a kid practicing putting listening to Dowland is like something out of Wes Anderson movie. LOL! I dabble some in classical guitar and one of my faves to play is Dowland’s “My Lady Hudson’s Puffe”. Great little piece. Much of it has a harpsichord quality.

  5535. That was super cool, thanks Rick! .....maybe re-do the Kid Charlemagne solos?

  5536. You went and bought another 60s acoustic just for that part of this song??? NOW THAT'S DEDICATION TO PERFECTION IN MUSIC that you just don't see today!!!

  5540. When I watched the GET BACK film I tried to imagine to be Paul or Ringo watching this whole film for the first time now. They are one of the last ones in this movie. So many people in this film left this earth; John Lennon, George Harrison, George Martin, Mal Evans, Billy Preston, Linda McCartney, Maureen Starr, Peter Sellers. If I was Ringo or Paul I would shed a tear watching this Peter Jackson version of Get Back. Well, I did. Sad...

  5541. I never donated so far to this channel but you got me with Pat's interview! Now I understand a lot better the dynamics of seeing him playing with Gary Burton in Montreal Jazz Festival or at multiple gigs in Singapore. Keep doing this!!! We can't interview Chick Corea anymore but please try to get to Herbie Hancock!

  5542. Because of watching your videos, I have become more in tune with things like music scoring, Arrangements of songs, Jazz, and even the production of modern pop! Thank you for all you do!

  5543. Ok well the "can you shred on a piano?" question has been answered.

  5544. Love love the sound of the Fender 12-string. Rick is without a doubt one of the finest musicians and music educators on Youtube. It is on this video however, that I got an appreciation of how fine a guitarist he is.

  5545. Rick, this interview hits me in a deep way. Thank you for being such a gracious interviewer, as to allow him to let his genius and warmth shine through. He frequents a restaurant in Scottsdale, and I see him there. Next time I do, I’ll let him know how grateful I (we) are to have had him sit down with you. I understand music differently, suddenly, from this insightful conversation. Enormous Gratitude, W~

  5550. Hey Rick: I'm 46 years old and have a pretty eclectic taste in music I feel... I love some classical, lots of rock, and other genres. From Metallica to Beethoven to Sierra Ferrell to Heilung to Queens of the Stone Age. But I dont necessarily follow all the goings on of each genre, and please just accept my sincere gratitude when I confess my ignorance about Yuja. You sent me down a rabbit hole tonight and my life is better for it. I've loved your channel for years now, but still have so much to learn. My faith in the future of humanity isn't exactly resonating on a positive frequency, but it's creatures like YW that give me a glimmer of hope for our species. Thank you brother and please keep up the good fight! - Love, Joshua

  5556. Rick I'm totally with you on this one! I've been teaching for about 4 years on YouTube now, it's been a real slog to earn anything. I'm not as talented as most of you guys but very passionate about teaching. I've had videos completely blocked because of 3 notes used as super basic breakdown of a song. And don't get me started on the Eagles. I guess that's the problem with having the band etc name in the title. Anyway thanks for the video it makes me feel like I'm not alone in my pursuit. Please hit me up if you ever needed a vocalist or a collaboration video. Much respect to from a fellow YouTuber. Lee John Blackmore 🎸

  5561. Honestly... These interviews are so invalueable - if I could I would easily pay hundreds or thousands for your contribution Rick. In fact I'm sure I will donate to you a big junk of money as soon as I'm able to. Thank you so much, really! <3

  5566. Hey Rick. 100% behind you. I must admit, I felt guilty after watching your last video as I had to lean on AI to produce some drum tracks, simply because I don't have the space for a drum set nor the budget to buy one to learn. In my view, AI does have some pretty convincing use cases, but I'd only use it as the means to sketch a draft of what I envisage for a song and then give the primordial demo to actual musicians to work off of. I also have an 18 year old who I attempted to teach guitar, but just like you said, he gave up because it was too hard. On the other hand I also taught one of his classmates, and the difference couldn't be more evident. The main thing is that his friend had a hunger and motivation to learn, and was willing to put time into it. To give my son some credit, he taught himself to beat box just because he really wanted to. I guess my point is that we should be tuning into what the young ones are really interested in and tapping into their motivation, and feeding it hoping to take them along on the journey of discovery. I am not despairing yet. There are 8 billion humans on this planet and even if there is a fraction of a percent that have the ability to tap into their potential and pursue it, something new, exciting and profound will come out. In the words of our famous Prime Minister here in Australia, Paul Keating, , "Maintain your rage!" my friend. You're doing great work and it will bear fruit. Don't despair ... lean in. Great achievement requires great effort. Warmest regards!

  5567. Rick, I consider myself a real hack, self taught drummer/vocalist who fools around on keys. I always am impressed by you and your channel and how good you are as a multi-instrumentalist and educator. I am now impressed by what a nice man you are. I'm a twice divorced 59 year old with heart failure and 3 adult sons. I wish I would have met you years ago. I would have been more than happy to have you as a friend.

  5570. I agree with you Rick. But this however did not really apply to Beethoven. He wasn't going downhill at any point. Hell, he wrote his masterpiece after 50, the 9th Symphony? Don't you agree, Rick?
    1
  5571. Rick, I have watched every video in the WMTSG? series and I never tire of watching your enthusiasm as you present the material. Your musicianship gives us a unique insight into all these magnificent works. Like you, I found myself engrossed in the Classic Albums series, especially the segments that highlighted the mix. You have taken that concept and made WMTSG? the premiere series on rock music appreciation. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
    1
  5572. Mr. Rick sir, I never leave comments on any YouTube videos I watch but after watching this interview I felt the need to make a comment to you I’m a huge fan of yours and I personally want to thank you this is by far the best interview I’ve ever seen MR. Summers story’s are exactly what a music fan such as myself dreams of I loved it thank you thank you 👏👏

  5578. Proves my main "Y'all gotta subscribe to this channel!" selling points to friends for 2+ yrs : even WMTSG episodes featuring songs I've never loved are fascinating, educational, fun,, often hilarious, and Rick's analysis and *knowledgeable* appreciation (OK, fanboy-ing on this one) make me begin to love it. Thanks, Rick, and here's to a few hundred more. [Also - - buying the Beato Book this week. For my cello playing daughter to get a different angle on learning theory and for me (tenor jazz guy) to mix things up a bit.]

  5579. OH MY GOD. Brian May just casually pops ups in the video. Rick you are a legend! Thank you!

  5580. No matter how down the current reality is, your vids ALWAYS make me glad to be alive and give me a whole new way to appreciate music...thank you.....And as a "musician" myself you sure humble me. lol.

  5581. We all had an “Aunt Penny”. Mine just happened to be named Pauline. Like your Aunt Penny, my Aunt Pauline was ALSO a former nun. The thing about my Aunt Pauline was that she never once was condescending to me. She treated me like an adult & she never once spoke of herself in the third person...like so many adults did to kids. Thank you for sharing your Aunt Penny with us. There was a lot of wisdom behind that smile. And I’m sure she is smiling at you with that beautiful tribute of her. The one bright side of loss is the memories of our passed on loved ones that somehow manage to come back at just the right time to sooth our aching hearts. My condolences to you. And may her memory continuously be a blessing to you.
    1
  5582. This is one of the things that I love this channel, and why worth it to subscribe for Premium so to get rid of annoying/disrespectful ads: Besides the no-nonsense technicalities, it is honoring the people that molded/influences sir Rick into what he has become and becoming. As such, we must do our own version of honoring and thanking regardless we're YouTubers or not. PS. I've been away for weeks for whatever reason. Time to do the proverbial catch-up.

  5583. This is necessarily going to be a longer-than-typical post, but please bear with me; I do have a couple of points on this topic, but I have to lay out the scenario to properly explain first. (And I apologize for the length of this post, of course.) Since watching this video a couple of hours after it was posted, I’ve been thinking about it a lot. As others have said, the difference between the .08’s and the .10’s is remarkable. Except for a couple of guitars, I’ve always insisted on .10’s because I thought that thinner gauges = smaller tone spectrum. I was wrong. As I posted, though, I’d be interested to see if there’s a marked difference in sustain between those gauges – assuming there was an objective way to test that. I suspect that the lighter gauges result in less sustain, but what do I know? I thought that lighter gauges resulted in thinner tone, so I was wrong about that, so maybe I’m wrong about sustain, too. But there’s an elephant in the room and it occurs to me often when I see and hear these A/B comparisons, by you guys and by other folks on YouTube and elsewhere. Rhett even mentions it, albeit obliquely, in both this video and his tests in his studio. And that idea is simply this: bias. In the physics world, we have a concept commonly known as “scientific bias,” where researchers have a tendency to favor one outcome over another because they want to believe it’s true. Quite often experimentalists may report inaccurate results because their actual results differ from the outcome they were expecting. Physicists must constantly be aware of scientific bias and develop methods in an attempt to root it out. The “double-blind” method of experimentation – where neither the physicist nor the persons preparing materials for testing know which variable is which – is one such attempt to safeguard against bias, although it’s hardly bulletproof. The traditional method of reducing the influence of bias is to remove the human element from the equation entirely, if possible. Rhett mentioned that while playing .08’s, he noticed his picking attack changed, based on the feel of the strings on the guitar. This, in turn, may have made a difference in the quality of his sound. Maybe not a lot, given, but it still may have been a variable. So it occurs to me that the only real way to measure the frequency response curve of different gauges of strings is to have a machine plucking them instead of a human. Surely the string manufacturers have developed and use such a device during the R&D phase. I mean, how else are they going to get reliable, accurate and consistent results when testing frequency responses of various gauges of strings? Removing the human element from the equation should – in theory, anyway – produce more accurate results that show what might happen when humans pick the strings. And, of course, such a device would allow testers to vary the amount of force applied to the string, and record the results of different pressure. Finally, a less subjective way to test these theories may be with the use of highly-sensitive frequency response analyzers. It’s probably highly subjective to do the tests as shown in the video (however you convinced me!). But a frequency analyzer would show concrete evidence that the results shown in the video were actually accurate. At the end of the day, I think that videos like this are amazingly helpful – especially to amateurs like me who don’t really consider the idea of testing different string gauges (and all the other tests you’re nice enough to post, of course). But to be accurate (or at least as accurate as possible), I think would require the use of specialized equipment, which most of us simply don’t have. What you’ve shown us is a real-world example, which is quite helpful, and I’m grateful for it. (I’m switching to .08’s on my main two guitars on the basis of the video, although I’ve never tried that set in my long guitar-playing career.) But to be completely certain, I think you’d need the equipment mentioned – plus likely others that haven’t occurred to me. Once again, I’d like to take this opportunity to thank you, Rick and Rhett and Dave and everyone else involved in this and your many other videos. As I mentioned, I’m an amateur and having all your expertise has taught me a great deal. I am in your debt.

  5584. Thank you Rick To watch my idol listen to himself, and become one of us... Im weeping like a baby

  5585. Dude, i am not even a guitar but your videos are a learning experience about music and life, and dam funny too
    1
  5586. Finally...someone serious about music is addressing us lefties! Rick thank you for this video man! I however do most things in life left handed, writing, eating, working on cars etc. but I took up the guitar playing right handed, why you may ask? Buying guitars to righties is a larger more vast collection of makes and models by a long shot. That said I can fret like no one's business with with left hand! Took me a while to learn how to pick but I got it and I can play confidently right handed...but give me a left handed guitar and I can't do it.

  5588. Rick, this is the top, preparation matched with execution fantastic interview… best yet! The detail in this interview was unmatched.

  5589. Rick is an amazing interviewer..😮😊

  5590. And this is why You Tube is better than TV. 2+ hour interview.
    1
  5591. The search RICK BEATO has been trending up since 2016!

  5592. I am not a musician but I watch all your interviews and you should be proud of your guests and your work. You let people speak, it is not about you. And you know your stuff but do not show off. Your musicians all respect you for your knowledge, your respect and clearly for your ability as a musician. Cavett was the master, as you just exemplified. His interview of Richard Burton is utterly compelling. How good was Peterson, by the way? What a nice guy.

  5593. I don't know if you realize how much you help us folks out here. You not only educate, but you inspire as well. Thanks for all you do!

  5594. i am so sorry for your loss rick, i fell in love with aunt penny during that clip. you are a lucky man to have had her in your life.

  5595. It gets better and better..David Gilmore..Jeff Skunk Baxter your complete unwavering interest of the musicians that didn't think twice or questioned as to why they started out as studio or on the road. Everyone of ther stories is most compelling. Life's lessons, twist and turns ..fate..the community .Let the good times roll..sit back and enjoy these incredible moments. Thank you Rick Beato..and iam a subscriber !!!!

  5596. You are the best interviewer ever Rick. I love how halfway thru the conversation is just effortless. I felt like I was sitting with you guys! Thank you!!!

  5597. Outstanding! This and your Daniel Lanois interview are complete master classes.

  5598. someday Rick will have David Gilmour in a video. mark my words

  5599. Rick, I just want to tell you of all the people I follow on YouTube, and it’s significant, you are by far one of the most talented and exceptional at what you do. Thanks for putting the time and energy into making your videos. I’ve spent time in the studio myself personally and produced for a couple of bands in Kansas City and I know that you work your butt off to put out such quality stuff. Thank you from a fellow guitar player. JV

  5600. You're killing me with the exaggerated thumbnail expression. "YouTubers call this their “thumbnail face". The purpose is to display an exaggerated emotion in order to capture the viewers attention." I despise fake tactics. It's kind of insulting don't you think? Anyhoo, I love your channel so I'm gonna click, but I avoid others that use this strategy. My 2 cents Looks like you guys had a great time.
    1
  5601. i never know whats coming next from you and that's why I subscribed!
    1
  5602. Very good video..keep the faith Rick...how about “ Why Miles Matters”
    1
  5603. Runs better than most sax players.....
    1
  5604. Just when I thought this channel couldn’t get any better! BRAVO!
    1
  5605. Me for almost every Rick Beato video I click on: I probably won't watch the whole thing. Then I end up watching the whole video.
    1
  5606. I left this comment elsewhere because I don't think many caught it. Check out the part where Dick James (Publisher) is visiting and Paul is going through the book of tunes. There are a couple of snide comments made by Paul where you know that he knows The Beatles have a raw deal. Paul says, "Yeah, we'll do lunch." It was cool to see that. Talk about "Reality TV!" 😀
    1
  5607. After a year appreciating your videos, I finally signed up to The Beato Club and within weeks you feature one of my favourite guitarists. Now to interview Australia's other best guitarist - Ian Moss - and I'll be a member forever.
    1
  5608. Awesome!! I'll move my truck right now. Hook me up Rick!
    1
  5609. I’ve always felt Ted’s first interview to be absolutely brilliant. I’m so excited to click PLAY in a moment! Liked before I even watch! 👍👍👍
    1
  5610. WOW!! I checked my sub section on YOUTUBE and I see Rick with Sting?? Is this new? Yes!! Finished and satisfied but I want to watch it again!!! GREAT INTERVIEW RICK!!!
    1
  5611. WELL, they took Music out of most middle-class schools almost two generations ago. Sure there “Band” but they are there for the BallGames Now on the same token, ask ourselves what happens to those band students? Well into the 1990s we could still hear a real Saxaphone in a top-10 hit. Our culture disposed of Music as Valuable
    1
  5612. I don’t know if people used to be smarter, but based on things like this interview, I think it’s fair to say that if they weren’t, they at least had more of an appreciation of smart things.
    1
  5613. I would sell my children for that metallic midnight blue PRS.
    1
  5614. That is what separates this channel from the modern noise. Thank you.
    1
  5615. Just when you thought Rick Beato was about to school you on some Led Zep, he goes drop B on some 2/4 beats! Metal bands listen up, he has probably forgotten more riffs than ya'll will ever know.
    1
  5616. Sorry Rick, but I stopped the video around 2 minute mark and started to listen to the album instead ;)
    1
  5617. contender for greatest episode of WMTSG of all time. unreal. thank you Rick & SEAL!!!
    1
  5618. As a musician yourself, your level of interviews were taken to a very much higher level.👏👏👏 I’ve watched all your interviews of the musicians I like or am more familiar with. I’m waiting for: Louie Shelton Steve Howe Ralph Towner Dean Parks Jay Graydon Anyone from Oregon except Colin Walcot. Tony Iommi, Bill Ward, Geezer Butler Ozzy would be really wonderful. Rick Wakeman James Pankow, Robert Lamm etc I don’t remember Tony Emmanuel Gosh there’s so much more Rick. And my apologies for the request. Most of all Thank You for all your hard work and great knowledge. Very Much Appreciated 🙏🙏🙏
    1
  5619. Same with Barenboim. He still performs quite frequently and in my opinion, he's one of the greatest pianists of all time
    1
  5620. Man, talking about opening the door into a hidden world.. It’s exactly what Rick has done with this incredible series of interviews. I’m just completely floored every damn time.
    1
  5621. What a beautify eulogy for your Aunt Penny. I started to tear up when I figured out where you were going with this about 2min in. What an amazing woman, Rick.
    1
  5622. So cool that Rick is stretching the ears of his viewers...bridging gaps between rock fans and jazz fans, and many other places on the map of great music!
    1
  5623. With the Exception of two or three intros, most these are pretty lame and can be performed by any middle school drummer. WHY was Dave Garibaldi's intro to WHAT IS HIP not even mentioned??? Oh I get it, most you, including Rick, never heard of Tower Of Power.
    1
  5624. This is a video more about Dad than Joe Pass. Support like that can go a long way! <3

  5625. When Rick said Cardi B,... i almost unsubscribed.
    1
  5626. But of course Rick knows Seal!
    1
  5627. This is probably my favorite Rick Beato video and I‘ve seen (almost) all. This is such an inspirational and sincere personal story. It‘s why Rick Beato became the Rick Beato we appreciate and love.
    1
  5628. Hey Rick, you play guitar? Just kidding. 🙂 Great theory tidbit to add to one's arsenal.
    1
  5629. Hey Rick - Ever hear Kinga Glyk? An amazing jazz bass player! Would be a great interview!
    1
  5630. I only recently started watching your channel but hats off to you dude. You're both blessed and humble and that's rare as anything this day and age in music. All the love your way man. I hope we can meet and shake hands some day. I was only about halfway through watching before the waterworks. If only more people saw life the way she did and you as well.
    1
  5631. I'm not blowing smoke here, but I just bought all Rick's merch;:the guitar thingy; the Beato Book Bundle; the Ear Training programme. Why? Because without doubt, and this video proves it, Rick Beato is the musicians' musician. He knows how to communicate nuggets of gold in a way that is easily digestible and comprehensible. BTW, his merch is absolutely top quality and incredible value for money. Go Ricky baby!!!!! We love you.....
    1
  5632. Congratulations, Rick! This is one of the best interviews we've had on the channel. Keep up the excellent work!
    1
  5633. I really enjoy your videos but I am nearly 70 years old, I think I am doing good just being able to watch you tube, I am not a techie, I don't twitter and have no desire to do so. it is the dumbing down what little lanquage we still have. You tube is shooting themselves in the foot and it is only going to back fire on them. I refuse to pay for this, eventually I will find some one who will help me add Ad blocker. until, I soldier on.

  5634. We didn’t really have a band 😜😂this is better than “Almost Famous” .....you are an amazing story teller.....this is a Netflix series.....start a script 📝

  5635. Is that with Joe Sample?
    1
  5636. , this was absolutely incredible. Rick, your channel is truly a gem. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and passion. You are an inspiration.
    1
  5637. Beautiful, Rick. I can hear echoes of your musical godfather, Claus Ogerman, in your composition too. Thanks for turning me on to him some time ago. I heard the 'sound' of some Shawshank Redemption at the start of your video; am I hearing correctly?
    1
  5638. I hope people realize how amazing this video is
    1
  5639. Reassuring to know there's half a million folks in the world that'll spend 2 hours watching an old Jazz guy talk music! Just brilliant! Imagine catching pat and jaco in those early days!
    1
  5640. No matter the opinions fomented in the comment sections of most videos lately, at the very least we have people making music and putting it out into the air for others to hear. Keep up the great work Rick!
    1
  5641. Rick, Thank you for so many videos that make me understand what I don't know. I have gained so much as a guitar player from the last couple of years of following you and checking out your courses. You rock, and it helps so many of us. Thank you millions of times over. I'm starting your ear training course this week. I can't wait to improve my understanding. <3
    1
  5642. And can we get a nod for the Beato music courses as Rick is taking apart "Takin' It To the Streets" in his head right in front of Skunk Baxter?!!
    1
  5643. Rick, your channel is honestly a borderline-overwhelming wealth of knowledge and wisdom in this space. We all appreciate it. Onward and upward.

  5644. Is that your signature gibson ?

  5645. What a great compliment from Tommy at the end Rick. Well deserved and so true. I like many love what you do and thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with us. I've definitely learnt a lot from you over the years and enjoy sharing it with others too. Cheers. 🎸🎸🇦🇺

  5646. Hi Rick Iv watched your channel for sometime and Iv never put a comment up. I’m sorry to hear of your loss. Your Aunt Penny is very like your self and I could see from the small clip you and your aunt we’re very close due to the same things you both had in common. I had to write in your comments as I was touched by the small clip you put on your channel. All the best Al.

  5649. Rick- it seems obvious to me that your are: 1) a monstrous musical talent in too many ways to mention here, and 2) a world class guitarist. I thought your Frampton inspired solo was the best of the 3 in the Stairway To Heaven episode.
    1
  5650. Sharicua? You have killer hearing and playing skills but we need to work on that spanish. Come on Maestro.

  5651. Btw loved the solo. When you mentioned it was inspired by Frampton, I went "oh I see." Top notch

  5655. Fantastic interview. You don't need multi-cameras. You don't need a crew. You don't need any editing. All you need is someone to interview and good questions.

  5656. 3:50 That hard pan track split is awesome. Didn't know you were a DJ, Rick.

  5657. Thank you " Mom Beoto"....because of your hard earned sacrifice.... you lit a fire in your child. This is how it starts folks....give a child a chance to change the world.....and sometimes...one in a million..might. Thank you for sharing your heartfelt story Rick..... Bless your parents. Rick you are a one in a million....you are changing the world for the better of society. Keep up the great work Brother.

  5658. Rick, I have to say that you are most certainly the "Dick Cavett" of musical interviewers. Well done once again!
    1
  5659.  @RickBeato  I'm sure they watch your channel. They have probably learnt lots from your music theory and have never told you lol. This is a shout out from Australia, the land down under. Keep safe Rick and your family as well.
    1
  5660. Yeah, honestly Thayil's playing is absolutely wild. Completely inimitable. The solo I always adored is the one from Fell On Black Days, but specifically the music video version they recorded live in studio. Some absolutely howling lead guitar, it's like a wild animal.
    1
  5661. This is like being at the opening of King Tutankhamun's Tomb
    1
  5662. Gotta admit, up until now, after watching way more videos of yours than I could count, I never felt anything positive about your guitar playing, which you just tend to use as a way of illustrating or analyzing other people's stuff. And yet here you pull out an absolutely classic Framptonesque ending for that Cardinal Motion track. Respect!
    1
  5663. God I love you Rick Beato..

  5664. Sting and Ron Carter….awesome

  5665. Best Beato interview yet in terms of practical expertise.
    1
  5666. Rick, I rarely miss your posts but have not commented until now. This one touched me in a very familiar way and I wanted to thank you. "One problem with the way our educational system is setup is that it only recognizes a certain type of intelligence. And it's incredibly restrictive. ... There are so many types of intelligence, and people who would be at their best outside of that structure would get lost." Quote from Springsteen

  5667. Wasn't feeling very well yesterday. Your coffee with Ola helped me rest and take my mind off that for three quarters of an hour.

  5669. Rick Beato is THE best at intelligently interviewing musical greats like Al Di Meola. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

  5670. I recently subscribed to your channel and have been binging your videos over the past couple of days and am loving it! Your deep appreciation of all kinds of music makes your videos so enjoyable to watch! I especially love your "What Makes This Song Great" videos, not only because I enjoy all of the songs you have featured in the series, but also because the videos have given me such a great appreciation for all of the work and thought that goes into producing music and they also allow me to peer into the process behind the scenes! My first ever live concert was Heart & Robert Palmer in the late 70’s, early 80’s in Concord, CA, and recently on a whim, I searched YouTube to find siblings who write & perform music together. I've stumbled across 3 cool bands: Larkin Poe, First Aid Kit and Jocelyn & Chris and all are talented and wonderful in my opinion. I wanted to share these 3 bands with you as a fellow music lover and maybe you might be inspired to make a "What Makes This Song Great" video of one or more of these bands down the line. Any plans to cover Korn anytime soon (if you haven't yet)? I also have very diverse musical tastes and would like to mention just a few bands/musicians that I appreciate and maybe they will appeal to you also. You might even be familiar with some, or all of them, but here they are anyway: Our Lady Peace (their concept album Age of Spiritual Machines is so good), H.I.M (their song Sleepwalking Past Hope is awesome!), Kate Bush (absolutely all of her music is incredible), Tea Party (Canadian band), Agnes Obel, Noe Venable, Avial (cool Indian band), Motherjane (another Indian rock band) and Bloodywood (Indian metal, so fun to watch these guys!). The Cure is my favorite band and I've been a fan since the late 70's so I was thrilled to see your "What Makes This Song Great" video of Just Like Heaven. My brother's band All Souls opened for Tool last year and being a huge Tool fan since the 90's, it was a dream come true not only for me, but for my brother who is also a huge fan of theirs. I was so honored to have been able to meet Danny Carey and Justin Chancellor after the show in Des Moines, IA, and they are both such humble and genuine guys! Finally, if you aren't aware of the O'Keefe Music Foundation, do check them out on YouTube. From their website: Since 2006 the O’Keefe Music Foundation has enabled children from around the world to record and film their musical performances for free. With your help, talented young musicians are provided with top of the line instruments, professional recording equipment and the ability to follow their dreams! Enjoy and thank you, thank you, thank you so very much Rick Beato for your channel and for making learning about music so much fun!!

  5673. kids. I'm old. I have 3 million subscribers... and I just totally flexed on you worthless hikikomoris for 13 minutes. this is what happens when you have this thing called a " work ethic" Oh and at the end, I'm gonna combine a bit of california summer van hagar with some Holdsworth. Boomer for the win. PS: Oh.. and i threw some good old fashioned genuine humility in. Something else kids could use today.

  5674. Every time i see that blue double cut Beato model, i wanna play it so bad...

  5675. Muting the strings you don't play... It sounds silly, but it's crucial to making the bass sound rigth. Rick, your content is great. I don't miss a single one of your videos. A bass player who greets you.
    1
  5676. Rick, not too long ago, you paid heartfelt tribute to joni Mitchell blue. I was joyous and blabbed that joy to you; mentioning that it is my vote for greatest record of all time. You sent me a back at you symbol. Tkx. If you were to ask me, why blue? I'd say one word talent. What, if we're blessed, we know is that heart, soul, love, and decency are most important; certainly more than some astonishing ability. The aunt penny thing will never be topped / surpassed as something you share. Thank You. Lovely beyond any words.

  5677. Just started watching this... if Joni isn’t in it I’ll be sad !!

  5678. loved you reaction to atilla! great video! thanks Rick! :)

  5679. How long have I been watching your channel?! That story about your college auditions was originally on your channel when it was only 6 months old?! Man, I remember when it first came out -- I can't believe it's been that long ago! Wow!

  5680. I don't understand any dislikes on this channel ? Free music theory on every level delivered with sincerity ,precision and the enthusiasm of a music fan. If this is not for you just move on but your are missing something great.

  5681. a good interviewer asks good questions. a great one shuts up and listens to the answers. this was a great one. superb.
    1
  5682. Thanks for sharing Rick. I always enjoyed the America sound, but never listened to anything beyond the greatest hits. This selection you shared here is definitely a hidden gem that I had missed until now. Thanks so much!
    1
  5683. That solo! Nice Rick. You may have been going for Frampton (no argument) but I was hearing some serious Neil Schon!
    1
  5684. I sent that before I watched the end of the video. Thanks for sharing that story Rick. So important to talk about depression. It's a life-threatening illness (not a weakness of character as many think) and seeking treatment is no more cause for beating yourself up than going to the ER for chest pains or getting chemo for cancer.
    1
  5685. Thank you Rick, for another immensely informative and inspiring video. I believe you are making an impact on the Online Music Community by "symply" sharing your experience and knowledge so in depth. You totally earned my respect and admiration. Thank you for keeping me inspired. All the best! However, I thought the greatest Jazz Guitar album is "George Benson Cookbook". 😏 Only joking of course, there are way too many "greatest jazz guitar albums" to mention! Ciao! Paolo Paolo
    1
  5686. This is the greatness of Rick Beato: it is not enough for him to follow the historical idols of rock but he ranges in every musical field saying intelligent things. I particularly liked the video on Bach very much. The undersigned will remain subscribed to his channels for life. For many it is easy to say "I love music" but afterward you see them always listening to the same thing and never going to any concerts. Not very credible. Loving an artistic expression like 'Music' took time, dedication, and culture without setting limits of genre, and this Rick knows how to do very well. Thank you.

  5687. What an awesome guy!

  5688. I'm 71, believe me heavy metal is not what you want echoing in your brain. You won't want a Meshuggah ear worm. Your tinnitus will rebel. I really stopped seeking out metal in the 90's (Tool). That being said my wife and I were going around all this morning singing Alice in Chains " Here Comes the Rooster". Nowdays I don't listen to music as loud as I used to. I started listening to Jazz again and now enjoy Opera . I started listening to Classical music more and enjoy the orchestration in prog rock. Acoustic guitar appeals to me more that I've grown older. I want melody and harmony but no screaming. All the testosterone posturing is comical , I really don't care if someone thinks they are a badass or have an attitude, they bore me.

  5695. Because you're a bebop fan and able to appreciate music such as this, I am now a bigger Rick Beato fan.

  5696. Rick! What if you could bring Chris DeGarmo to your show? That would be awesome... I miss his music so much.

  5697. Rick, amazing interview. It seemed like you all have known each other forever! Like old friends. Just great stuff!

  5698. You were listening to Runnin’ With the Devil in a church? Yikes.

  5699. Rick, as an electrician, I really dig the lighting in your studio. 💡👍

  5700. I was listening along, half paying attention, and then about halfway through I started thinking how cool it would be if the next track was Jesus Christ Pose by Soundgarden, but alas, it wasn't to be...
    1
  5701. "Comparison is the death of Joy" ~MT Naw Mr. Beato, not that you're comparing, but if you were in a big band, you'd most likely be a shooting star like most folks who "make it" are – and a bit nonplussed afterwards thinking of how popularity fades so fast. It seems like your mission in life is teaching in a way only you can, said teaching being top-notch (and you still get the adrenaline rush when you gig from time to time!). We’re lucky to have you. Thank you for all you do
    1
  5702. I had no idea Rick helped produce for NEEDTOBREATHE. That's sick, great band. They put on a great live show
    1
  5703. This video is so good in so many ways. Just the choices you make, the acoustic guitar, completely dry, very unpretentious, workshop character, like a buddy sitting next to you in the rehearsal room, then the video editing with the white inverted hand written chords superimposed, then of course the flawless analysis. This is a very very nice piece of work, consider the hat tipped.
    1
  5704. Wow, such an amazing and important video. I'm almost in tears because I now understand that I suffer from tinnitus. Ever since I was little boy, I could hear the ringing sound from video to the point of pain but it was off and on. Now I have some closure. But as a musician, I'm scared that it will get worse as I age. Thank you Rick for making this video. God bless.

  5705. Watching Rick makes me realise my misspent adolescence was misspent

  5706. Yeah! Now Rick is doing "What Makes These Musicians Great - LIVE"! Fantastic!

  5708. You do realize that everything he plays in this video is What Are “Haunting” Tones.Also I keep seeing people asking for tabs but he put the diagrams in the video of what to play.He goes up and down the pattern.Scratches head.

  5709. The Back in Black snare sound!!

  5710. Rick really does know everybody!

  5711. Swervedriver is an amazing band!! Thank you both for this!
    1
  5712. Don`t know much about Warren Haynes, but after watching this, my new "focus" will be to find out alot more about him. Totally laxed guy who is being interviewed by Rick, the best interviewer in the biz. Rick has become a cultured and smooth interviewer!

  5713. Damn, The guest singers were all on fire.
    1
  5714. I found this video very effective.
    1
  5715. The last few minutes are the best part. Dave is so right on the EQ. I learned that 38 years ago!

  5716. Im doing your arpeggio masterclass, at the moment, I had no idea you could play... 😁

  5717. I watched talking dead. W/ Rick Beato
    1
  5718. I started following you shortly after your original viral video with Dylan showing off his perfect pitch. Not only did I know you play guitar, I absolutely loved it when the bulk of your videos were theory based. I took lessons as a kid, and had a theory class in high school, but beyond that most of my knowledge was acquired through a lot of reading and practical application. Finding your channel back then was amazing because it helped me confirm the things I thought I knew. But also, you also pushed the boundaries of what I knew.
    1
  5719. Here's what I love about Rick's channel. He actually let's his guests talk! He's a great long form interviewer. He stays out of the way and let's these brilliant guests talk!
    1
  5720. Great interview. This interview should be in the National Archives.
    1
  5721. I came for the Beato/Neely combo and stayed for the "I'm not gonna edit anything!"
    1
  5722. Damn, that recreated rhythm track sounded great.
    1
  5723. Rick, your content gets to a documentary level and yet very light, warm and easy to watch. plus the quality of your inputs and interviews (and guests!), this is absolutely a gem in the internet. thank you very much and um abraço from Brasil
    1
  5724. There's a lot going on under the hood with this guy. His bandmates are making fun of him back in the day for not knowing any music theory, and now he's on opera #8 or whatever it was. Another amazing conversation/interview/whatever you want to call it. Rick gets great stuff out of these people that other people never have.
    1
  5725. Absolute Renaissance Man — Beato produces, plays, and explains with verve and passion. We all gain something from his insights! Should be required watching for humanity.

  5726. What a madlad. Thanks, Rick!
    1
  5727. Big Thanks! from Germany for sharing this valuable information with us Rick! I pressed every button I can :)
    1
  5728. Rick is the Sir David Attenborough of Real Music (as an art form). An insightful deeply feeling guide to the marvels and mysteries of nature which is music. Unspeakably good program - as all the others…Sting, Brian May, Gary Burton, Pat Metheny! Wow! A truly unique and valuable contribution. Thank you, Sir Rick!
    1
  5729. Absolutely epic video, thanks so much for making it man!
    1
  5730. I would put thumbs up to this video simply because you’re actually recording a real amplifier instead of a guitar through simulators! Cone vibrating will always be different and better sounding!
    1
  5731. Rick sounded quite a bit closer. Almost dead on to my ears, which is sooooo hard to do. Perhaps it comes down to his years of producing. Or maybe just his new spectacles. 😜😆🤦‍♂️ No matter the case, great job by both of you!!!
    1
  5732. Thank you, Rick B. You are the modern day version of Alan Lomax - capturing the words, histories, stories, and information that would be forever lost within a hundred years if it were not for you and your work. I trust you know that many of us are truly grateful for your work, dedication, and professionalism. Thank you.
    1
  5733. Well goddamn. this is like a Dick Cavett interview from back in the day.
    1
  5734. Another national archive / Smithsonian worthy interview of one of the most impactful people in the history of modern music,conducted by Rick Beato, quicky becoming perhaps the most impactful archivist in the history of modern music. Incredibly well done Rick and Rick -thank you both. You painted the picture of not only the music but also the venues, locations, and the tone and timbre of the era in question. Bravo.
    1
  5735. Best video I've watched in weeks and I am not a musician, just a music lover.
    1
  5736. Rick, is there a limit to your ingenuity. It doesn't seem so !! How marvellous the talent you mustered around you. If only to confirm Page as one of the all-time masters.!! Thank you.
    1
  5737. Solid GOLD right 👉 here!! This is literally music 🎶 to my ears👂 you just can't buy this info, nor write 📝 it down in a book 📖....and what a sterling interview?? All the knowledge (over a lifetime ) I accrued from being a touring drummer then a session, and finally a teaching musician, in the UK 🇬🇧 I don't just teach, but teach the history and legacies of music. Rick, thank you so much for putting a permanent smile on my face😍throughout this priceless MASTERCLASS, for posterity and all time 🙏 Regards, Baz Myers. 👍🇬🇧

  5738. 'Wrote it while figuring out the tascam 244'... so glad their usermanual sucked.
    1
  5739. Rick, every video that you make is EDUCATION! Serious education for ANYONE, no matter what level or the experience is! That was another one that opened my eyes, THANK YOU! I'm going to the 8ts for sure, I hear what I was looking for!
    1
  5740. This is the thing we all loved and didn't know we needed
    1
  5741. Thank you Rick Beato. I discovered you through Tim Pierce's channel and realized immediately that you are one consummate musician/artist and had to find out more. Wow, I have found another virtual mentor / teacher in you and cannot thank you enough for your generosity of all things music and learned wisdom. I downloaded the Beato book and feel very fortunate to have your teaching on this channel. Thank you for giving back sharing your passion and knowledge. Respect.
    1
  5742. You’ll never say it but it’s ok if you wanna. You are the fucking man Rick. We all enjoy your work, more than you’ll ever know !
    1
  5743. Rick, you have heart! Love your videos...and I play no instrument at all !
    1
  5744. I remember seeing this a while back and thinking, as much as I like Rick's videos, this is the best ever since it hits close to my heart. My family also were a bunch of musicians and I had a favorite aunt so that and this hits me in a very personal way. Thanks for sharing again. I am so sorry for this loss of your beloved aunt, you have my deepest sympathies, and it made me shed a tear for your loss and through reminding me, another for my favorite aunt as well. Thanks for sharing something very personal to you that reminds us all of our personal losses and hopefully helps us all see the sameness in our lives.

  5745. The Wikipedia! article for this song references this video. Congratulations!
    1
  5746. You interviewed Ron Carter, man! C'mon! Keith Jerrod playing like a monster with one hand! Who does an interview like that, and then turns around and interviews Peter Frampton? And a three hour interview with Daniel Lanoise! Throw in a What Makes Bach Great edisode or two. You help people appreciate classic rock, fusion, jazz, pop, metal, clasical... everything music. Who does that? You do that. Well done, sir.
    1
  5747. I'm listening to "HOME AT LAST" on the award winning album "AJA" (1977) Steely Dan w/Bernard Purdie (Damn! this abum so well engineered- Purdie's cymbal sound and technique are exquisite) I'm tearing up, too- He's on "DEACON BLUES" we'll I began playing in 1977 and I remember people were waiting for the album to come out; there were TV commercials promoting the album before it came out. Mr. Beato- This video has me renewing my committment to my drums and I thank you so much:).
    1
  5748. Hahaha when he plays that crazy complicated line and calls it the Rick Beato line! Respect.
    1
  5749. That was a brilliant interview, Rick. I don’t think we’ve seen this level of analytical sophistication in a “critic”/interviewer since Edouard Hanslick, of Germany, was reviewing the works of Beethoven, or, later, Henderson was writing and reviewing the greats of opera in the Baltimore Sun. Hanslick would obtain a manuscript of the music to be played in concert ahead of time and play through it on piano, a writer, but also an excellent pianist who could sight read from an orchestral score. Henderson was well-trained as a singer and musician, as well as a writer. But he was expert in his subject. Newman was right to thank you right back for the wonderful interview. How many people in the world are there who are so aware of what he was trying to accomplish in his scores, the significance of the recording and scoring and instrumental methods and tools at his disposal at any phase of his career, and so appreciative of his place in the ongoing development of cinematic musical language? You did him justice and that is a profound thing, these days. Thank you for this chance to experience a deeper appreciation for a talented and accomplished composer and a better understanding of his music in context.

  5750. How fitting that Rick is wearing a Canadian Tuxedo while interviewing a famous Canadian!
    1
  5751. Man, I just watched this after a long ass week, in my quiet place room, drinking my third whiskey & soda. If you could feel my bliss right now.
    1
  5752. Few viral hits use the structure of a song. They are more akin to advertising jingles. Sometimes a couple of jingles hooked together (bad romance is a perfect example)
    1
  5753. No, as a pro vfx guy and a former pro bassist, there are no vfx compositions here. Black levels match, no blue/green fringes, especially with your hair styles, proper perspectives and depth, the light reflections and highlights match the color space. I’m jealous of your collection. Had to sell most of my stuff during the pandemic. No vfx here.
    1
  5754. Almost wondering if Rick is secretly Canadian. Wearing the upper half of a Canadian tuxedo, doing a video about a CBC broadcast from 60 years ago, and doesn't understand people who don't like Rush.
    1
  5755. Rick, this interview is a coup. To your point he rarely has done interviews seemingly to prefer letting the music/work do the talking. I worked at CBS/Sony from 89-97 and I can tell you that my memories of what it meant to have his name associated with bands on your label once he had "arrived" felt like you were guaranteeing a sure fire hit which we all know is a ludicrous thought. But I feel like that's how it was back then. When you step back and look at his body of work in the 90's in particular and look at how HUUUUGE the records were he was associated with it boggles the mind. To me that was the last chapter of the "old music business" model and iut surely went out with a bang. Great discussion and so happy this happened.
    1
  5756. Rick Beato will be mentioned a LOT in the future books regarding musical schooling and training . What he’s doing is teutoring out all the stuff that’s absolutely impossible to put a pricetag on. And he’s doing that for more or less FREE ! So - Rick : Here’s to you, man ! Keep going . C W von Burgenstein . Sthlm, Sweden . München, Deutschland .

  5760. Because you asked, Rick, I’m leaving a comment. That was awesome. And I’ve been subbed for at least 5 years.
    1
  5761. It's nice to know the vibe I get when I watch your videos is real. A very touching story. You were blessed to have known your friend. I wouldn't call your record label a failure. Our greatest successes are in who we touch and who we are touched by.

  5762. Yacht Rock ...hacky "ironic" wannabe comedians riding the coattails of top tier musicians playing some incredible music. Donald Fagen was more than gracious.

  5763. @rickbeato You diserve every and each special moment from music. You are a special guy spredding knowledge and you diserve to enjoy the ride ! God bless you !
    1
  5764. Hey Rick, have you checked out Bobby Huff, the Drum Doctor's channel? He does videos on drum production/engineering techniques of the pros. His tips are great and I think he would be perfect for an interview or collaboration video. Please check him out!
    1
  5765. Rick, Just when i think you've out done yourself you go and do it again. Absolutely AMAZING !
    1
  5766. I've only known about Aunt Penny for nineteen minutes and six seconds and I already miss her like I've known her since I was a kid. Please accept my warmest condolences for your loss and thank you so much for sharing her with us.

  5767. To me, the myriad of personal and socio-cultural influences in our lives that affect our listening-choices I describe as "generational drift". (If ever I want to go back to graduate-school and work on that PhD, that would be its title.)

  5768. You won't see this quality of content elsewhere. Good job, Rick!

  5769. I love hanging out in your studio.

  5770. Yesss!!! So glad it's back up. So happy for you, Rick. Joni is an immense treasure; timeless and rich. She's infinitely amazing.
    1
  5771. Hey Rick, odds are you'll never see this comment but I'll leave it nonetheless. I'm 58 and was born in Rochester but my family moved to Buffalo by the time I was three. I heard you mention in one video that your dad worked for Penn Central. My dad worked for Penn Central as well but got laid off when they got bought out by Conrail. Ever since I heard you say that I've wondered if our fathers may have known one another. Not that it's important but I'm curious. I won't leave any personal information here but if per chance you should ever happen to read this, perhaps we could email one another or something like that. That being said, thank you so much for doing what you do. It's been a real joy having you on my inter-computing-machine-there-hey!
    1
  5772. Wow what an amazing interview, but are beyond talant and such humble men, had a reply from both of them on their own chanels about musical questions, thank you Rick for once again bringing us the best musicians in the world... Thank you!
    1
  5773. Rick, you keep hitting the ball out the park brother. No wonder you have 2 million subscribers. Great episode man.

  5774. Otherworldly talent. I tend to stick to my metal/rock world so thank you Rick for putting out amazing content like this that shows how much unbelievable music is out there.
    1
  5775. I like it when you go full on jazz nerd Rick. You are truly part of the tribe.
    1
  5776. Rick - enjoy ALL your videos. You’ll probably never read this, but since Steve brought up metal, it might be worth your while to check out Band-Maid from Japan. One of the best new rock/pop-metal bands to come around in years
    1
  5777. That was very emotionally satisfying. Thank you both for a great conversation.
    1
  5778. Absolute legend of his craft. Thoroughly enjoyed it start to finish. Love the mutual respect between them both. And you need the technical excellence of someone like Rick to get the most out of this interview to ask the right questions. Even when Lanois plays fingerstyle on the guitar with some identifiable chord shapes you can see the delight on Rick’s face as he 100% gets musicality, harmony, sonic content and the spirit of it beats virtuosity for the most part. The diversity of Rick’s guests is unbeatable - most of them historically significant and top of their game. Actually get excited these days waiting for the announcement of the next interview

  5779. I'm buying that book. I've wanted to know theory for years and I understood what you said more clearly than anything I've ever dipped my toe into.

  5780. A 1 hour 20 minute interview is now considered a Rick Beato short..

  5781. Rick, your blue Gibson guitar is clearly missing a 3rd humbucker:)

  5782. This was unexpected, beautiful, and has completely leveled me. Thank you; I am wishing you and your family peace.
    1
  5783. MAAAN! Watching you play the solo gave me CHILLS! Beautiful Solo! The Rick Beato touch on a Peter Frampton style! Phil-X did a PERFECT rendition of EVH playing the solo and the 'Beat It' solo outro actually made me LAUGH! So cool! Eric Johnson...ahh...what can I say, his solo is out of this WORLD. Unmistakably Eric Johnson.
    1
  5784. Sorry for your loss. I just buried my brother today. He died of a brain tumor that he fought for 15 years; two brain surgeries and multiple treatments of chemo. He loved music and playing the guitar. His favorite bands were Metallica and Pantera. We had all of his guitars set up at the funeral. I played my bagpipes, another family member played a song on the ukulele and sang, and another member played his guitar and sang a song. Music is one of the best things to bring people together.
    1
  5785. Amazing, wonderful, musical ability, yes indeed! But I ask anyone, were the circumstances that lead to producing this ability really worthwhile? Did it serve any useful purpose or worth beyond mere demonstrating what a human being's ear and mind can musically recognize and discern having had to survive being overly abnormally immersed and marinated in an audio flood from birth.

  5786. Pat Metheny - quarter notes Al DiMeola - quarter notes Bernard Purdie - quarter notes Seems to be some kind of a thing, pay attention young folks!

  5787. I misplaced my hairbrush, and Rick misplaced one of his best videos! I'm so glad you found this!

  5788. I cry when I hear you hear her records.

  5789. lol my wife and teenage son already roll their eyes when I rock out. I'm sure my grandkids will too eventually.

  5790. Oh no, what about 'And I Love Her'? da de de dmmm

  5791. Dude I honestly come back and listen to these constantly because they are all great. Especially Rick's tbh.
    1
  5792. How in the hell did I miss this video?? I'm 70 years old and have been playing since I was 6 yrs old. I would never imply that I was ever on the same playing field as all of the names dropped during this video, but what I do have is a full lifetime of loving, living and breathing guitar playing. This video is a masterpiece of it's own that I will cherish for the rest of my life. Thank you for your time and efforts in creating such a wonderful concept as this and for bringing together the vast talent you did. May God bless you all and let's hope that this type of masterpiece will live forever. Cheers Mate!!
    1
  5793. Great song choice, However you probably don’t realise Rick, your own production of this vid is just about as good as it gets, , , Highlighting twists, turns and runs to us mere mortals, just as well as Elton did with his music way back then. I reckon this video breakdown has been produced as well as the song was! Keep them coming! BTW, Rocket Man reached No2 in the charts here in the UK, topped by T Rex with “Metal Guru” - No beef with Marc Bolan at all, but, , , 48 years later what would you rather be listening to. . .?
    1
  5794. So sorry for your loss. Seems like you're the son she never had, and she your 2nd mom. The world is a better place for having Aunt Penny in it. Thanks for sharing her with us. Be well and take care.

  5795. Lmao Rick don’t you remember people thought your background was fake?

  5796. Peter Smart is now among “friends I haven’t yet met” thank you for introducing us Rick.

  5797. The Beato Brilliance continues. Wonderful hanging with Derek and Rick. As much as the “Internet” is filled with so much shallowness, chaos, craziness, sadness, Everything Music makes up for all the negativity. 👏🏾🙌🏾🙏🏿❤️

  5804. The best, most impassioned, most culturally relevant, most insightful Rick Beato vid I’ve ever seen! This is exactly what music does to human hearts and minds.

  5805. Level 10 sounds like a Claus Ogerman arrangement. Ahhhh! :)

  5806. That Bach stuff is very Eric Johnsonish.

  5808. I happen to catch one of your comments on someone else's Y/T channel, If I recall correctly it was on aviation and specifically the F-14 Tomcat? I knew I liked you for more than just your musical taste/talent. Comments popped up from a lot of others that also recognized you as well , I am struggling to remember , I think the person who's page it was was a tomcat pilot or perhaps he was the RIO ??

  5809. I just remembered . . . . .His name is Ward Carroll

  5810. Our band from Hamilton recorded a couple of songs in Danny Lanois' studio when it was in his mom's basement. His aunt was one of my mom's best friends.

  5811. Ricks’ videos just makes you love all kinds of musical styles, even if you don’t like them like, *ahem*, Coldplay in my case…

  5812. Love how Rick B sat back and let the man go! Love it. Oh, by the YouTube algorithm; I just sat through 1 1/2 hours of great content!
    1
  5813. I never comment on videos but it hurts so bad to know she is gone. My deepest condolence to you and your family. Thank you for sharing that moment with your aunt. I wish I could be with mi aunt too. Keep the great work Rick. Today, you and your aunt have inspired me to not to quit....and bark if necessary.
    1
  5814. Big LOL @ 0:55 - '..the amp wall that many people think it's a green screen...' kids today don't know what amps are/look like and can't tell reality from fake CGI....1:33 -Billy is Real! ...;)...Love the upright bass and the baby grand acoustic piano, really nice touch. That's the 'secret stuff' acoustic instruments...if computers and electricity fail, those who learned music can still make music w/ a double bass and the piano.. That's Your Secret, Rick. You can make real music out of real instruments...Best, cheers from Brazil.
    1
  5815. OK, so I watched. I think for the most part I agree, but I do think Gen Zers listen to and connect with the music in video games. Mario Kart is probably not the best example, but my son and I both love the music from Zelda and Metroid games. And others here in the comments have mentioned Earthbound. Yeah, it's from 1995, but it's one of my son's favorites, and he has played the soundtrack for his friends on Discord. (Just the scenario you described.) He convinced me to go back and play Earthbound, which I've been doing recently. Great (and weird) music! Now my own "old man yells at cloud" moment… I do think there's a lot of bland sameness about popular music today. Kids have little incentive to listen to the radio; MTV doesn't show videos; everything imaginable is on YouTube but it's almost too much to wade through. But my son (19) has this huge depth of knowledge of video game scores, and my daughter (16) knows just about every popular song from the '70s and '80s because she's heard them in GTA. And then there's TikTok. So I wouldn't say that Gen Z doesn't care about music… but they probably don't care about it in a way that is immediately familiar to us Gen Xers (me) and Boomers (Rick).
    1
  5816. Rick, any time you wonder, "is that too much ..." the answer is always a resounding NO F'N WAY!!! The only bad part about your videos is that they end.
    1
  5817. Your number one skill is your eloquence. What you say is honest, thoughtful and always well spoken. In a sense, if your passion was about giant rocks that moves a few inch a year, I believe that you would find a way to share that passion and make it interesting. Your content is simply said, most excellent.
    1
  5818. Man, these are so cool. Rick, you're bringing down to Earth guys that played in my 2 favorite bands of all time: fucking Soundgarden and Tool! Like, what?! Hearing Matt say things like "my dear Kim Thayil" and genuinely laugh and joke with you just really brings out these guys like we've never seen before vs. all the BS interviews they've gone through throughout their career. Thank you for what you're doing here, love this channel.
    1
  5819. I know this is an unnecessary comment, but this interview is amazing, Rick! Thank you!
    1
  5820. Rick I really liked how you want to continue your interviews. I love the Beato Ear training lessons. A GREAT INVESTMENT. I'm Better already.!! Hip Hip, Yep Yep. Tones are wild, A good lesson.
    1
  5821. The main reason I watch this channel is because Rick is not a music snob.
    1
  5822. this may be my favorite video of yours... no, it's impossible to pick only one fave, there are so many, but this one is certainly in the top ten!
    1
  5823. It was clearly meant to be :) Very moving and "no coincidence" these events came together. Kudos to Keith for being chosen to watch that video and begin the journey home.
    1
  5824. you lost me at ''then he gets to the hard part''
    1
  5825. 30 seconds in and you play a Periphery riff on an Abasi guitar..... I'm in.... :) (also if that was a subtle troll joke, that was brilliant!)
    1
  5826. Rick, this was amazing. You're a beast man. Your knowledge about music and production is really cool.
    1
  5827. I know about 10 or 12 guitar chords, and not one of them would get me any closer to being able to play this song.
    1
  5828. Rick, I have been following your channel for a few years now and even if I'm not a musician, I love all kind of music. Especially 70-80-90's. Your interviews are precious, so intelligent and I can see how comfortable all your guests are with you. Your questions are never "cliches" and that's why are so unique and enjoyable. Thank you ! You passion for good music is truly what we all need.
    1
  5829. Can't believe you're coming to NY, and I will be there!!
    1
  5830. I believe tour dad was a musician Rick, not an instrumentalist perhaps, but the music that he loved is just not truly enjoyable if you don't move things around in your mind.
    1
  5831. constant unrelenting creativity
    1
  5832. Hopefully Rick's video will inspire the producers at 60 Minutes to do a profile of Martha like they have done for other great musical artists.
    1
  5833. Freddy Green! I’m old enough to say I saw the Count and Freddy play. You might need to tell folks who he was.
    1
  5834. Love this!
    1
  5835. Seeing how quickly Rick can hear a song and pick it up on guitar is truly humbling. By the second verse; "Yep, GOT IT!" .....later on....wow that's bouncing around the open D string...that's realllly fast though...3 seconds later....ok, I got it.

  5839. Rick you are the best "sit-around-and-just-talk-to-big-stars" in the world. Its all so natural and you always make them "want to tell the story". I love it. Of course the knowledge you have about music and the artist makes you the perfect man for the job. Applause from Sweden.

  5843. Rick Beato’s Everything Music is probably the best YouTube channel. Thank you, Rick. Congratulations. Absolutely indispensable.

  5844. I can’t believe you’ve only played in 3 videos over the last year! Yeah I know you are an amazing player Rick! I can’t even remember how long I’ve been following your channels and socials though. Glad to see you recovering well!

  5845. 2:12 That 'I just cleaned the tape heads' flew over the heads of over half your viewers!

  5850. Rick your channel was missing this masterpiece
    1
  5851. Rick Beato You impress me, time and time again with your passion, sensitivity, immense knowledge and obvious "in your face" true love and understanding of music. But You impress me the most with presentations about Composers of this magnitude. The ultimate, the Bach's, Beethoven's, Debussy's, Stravinski's. Genius of THAT magnitude is SO rare. Even some of your presentations on the modern "players", such as Holdsworth being a shining example of genius. Thank You, I enjoyed it. YOU are the real deal. An amazing bank of knowledge and passion. Glad you're there.

  5856. I love Aunt Penny Rick. She feels like the aunt I wish I'd had. I had a great aunt who was a wonderful musician and teacher in the 1930's, but did not get to grow up around her. After that, I was the first to have any interest in music. Bless you for honoring your sweet Aunt Penny in this way. We as a community of musicians share the sorrow of your loss brother, and thank you for sharing her with us.

  5857. Paul Simon will always be regarded as one of the greatest songwriters of all time. The guy that wrote that article really need to study music a bit more closely, he clearly knows nothing.

  5862. Prince only had 5 #1 hits. That's plenty for sure, but he's not ALL that. I do know in his private life he did many things for people. Wrote many hits for others. Yes he's huge, .....ok now that I write all that it WOULD be kind of odd to be 26 and have NO IDEA who prince is.
    1
  5863. Paraphrasing Sting: "When I watch to a Youtube video and I'm not surprised within the first ... eight 15-seconds ... I stop watching." Videos like this are exactly what surprise means. Tons of lessons learned, a plethora of ideas to study deeper, introduction to artists and songs that I didn't know of, amazing refreshers on others that I've always loved but never realised why. This video is pure gold. Can't thank you enough Rick.
    1
  5864. You have been quite self deprecating about your guitar skills over the years. Your demonstrated skill belies your deprecation, however. I’ve been subbed since the days of the Circle of Fifths on the white board so I was well aware of your guitar chops.

  5865. Love the thumbnail (w headphones)

  5866. I noticed a little grin when you said, "...instruments can't play themselves". I chuckled. Lol! :) Keep up the great work, Rick!
    1
  5867. Thank you for sharing your Aunt Penny with us. As she started to tell stories, I decided to stop what I was doing and sit with you and Aunt Penny for a few minutes uninterrupted. Thank you for letting us in to your personal life in such a special way with such a special woman. I am moved and now, I too, will remember Aunt Penny as I go through my days. My deepest condolences 💐 on the loss of your dear aunt from this realm. You now have another Angel watching over you.

  5868. I hate this video, because I want more. Too short!!! Love you Rick. All I can say is WHAT; Sting, Rush, Seal, Sarah, Kendrick Lamar on one video. You are a master and I hope to one day have 10% of the knowledge you have. Thank you for always pushing me to open up to new artists, hear music on a different level, and want to learn more.

  5869. Hi Rick, don't usually comment, but I love this, fantastic. Need more of Billionaire?😛👍🤘

  5870. long time watcher, first comment. beautiful man.

  5871. Rick: in seven short years you’ve carved out a niche that has blossomed into a beautiful flower of an all encompassing channel for music lovers of all stripes. Your channel helped me get the through the pandemic and the lack of human interaction. Your videos bring me comfort and joy and I feel like you’re a close friend teaching me why I enjoy listening to music.

  5872. This is really fun. Love the production of this video. I play chords like that because I don't know what I'm doing. Lol

  5877. Rick, IMHO, this is the best video, interview, movie I've seen this year. It should be preserved in the Library of Congress for future generations to appreciate the artistry of music. Absolutely incredible. Thank you for your work. Amazing.

  5881. Rick's interview technique.......start. the ball rolling, and get out of the way. Most interviewers are eager to thrust their egos into the process. I'm sure Rick has an ego, but it is firmly under his control. He's the best.
    1
  5882. WTF?! Brian May! Everyone donate $10 - less than a movie. Awesome video,.
    1
  5883. Wow what an intelligent Interview. It made me want to listen to the whole thing without snarling at pointless questions asked but rather every question asked had me anticipating the answer given. To all interviewers out there this is how it's done, well done Rick and thank you very much for your time David.

  5893. Rick I had to re-subscribe when I checked out this video. Why? I don't know. I get all your videos I think , but when I was here it said "Subscribe" when it should say "subscribed".

  5894. I'm glad you kept trying! The David Gilmour interview was splendid. Next I look forward to Ron Carter.

  5900. At my desk at work in tears at this story. What a loss. May all who knew and loved him be comforted.

  5901. (About J.S. Bach) If you talked to someone in 1821 about Bach, the first name that would probably come up wouldn't be Johann Sebastian...it would probably be Carl Phillip Emmanuel, his son and composer in his own right.
    1
  5902. Rick, first time I've ever felt compelled to comment on any YouTube clip, ever. I am so sorry for your loss. What a wonderful tribute to an obviously incredible woman. It's so great to have someone who is that much of a positive role model in your life. Take Care, John
    1
  5903. Here's the definition of intellectual and cultural feast. Thank You Rick, thank You Pat.

  5904. Hey Rick Would you ever do a video about your filming equipment? Your lighting, sound and camera quality are all very nice! But only if it interests you in taking the time to do that kind of video!
    1
  5905. Modern video games aren't just designed to be fun and entertaining, they are designed on multiple levels to be addicting, and they are in ways music just isn't. So while music is still enjoyed by Gen Z to a degree, it's not an interactive dopamine and social media machine like video games are.
    1
  5906. Great video as usual! Have you've seen Tim Pierce's latest video about "The greatest band he ever joined"? Would be supercool if you would make a Toy Matinee song for Ep 101 and feature Tim in it. Cheers!
    1
  5907. Thank you. Obviously this is wonderful for us viewers but I’m delighted for you Rick. We all know how long you’ve wanted to interview David Gilmour. A week after Rick Wakeman too. You’re on such a roll. Eric and Jimmy beckon - you’re the only interviewer on the planet who can make it happen!
    1
  5908. Had to jump in here when I saw the title just to make sure you weren't slagging off our national treasure in any way shape or form. Very pleased to report all is well here. Sorry for the interruption. Carry on Sir. KBIP (Kate Bush Internet Police)

  5909. Heartfelt, insightful and beautiful analysis of and tribute to this iconic song and band. Rick, you revealed the true greatness of this monument of music. Thank you.

  5911. Wow, amazing singers! I love the extended examples. Great video...

  5912. Thank you Rick. I felt like I was in the room with you hanging onto every word.
    1
  5913. @Rick Beato I agree there is a lot fake news out there on just about anything and there are a lot of gullible people out there who believe it without actually doing any real "RESEARCH" or challenging what they are hearing. +1 for you -150 for them! :)
    1
  5914. My favorite part of Rick's interviews? That they invariably expose path crossings and influences for these talents. For Cross, one would be Joni Mitchell, but there were others, too. The only thing I didn't like about this interview is that it . . . ended.
    1
  5915. Where do I subscribe to Rick AI? 😂

  5916. Wow, I could watch this all day! Such amazing musical history. Rick, this channel is my favorite!!

  5920. Such a nice conversation!

  5921. Rick I used to think you were a kind of full of yourself snob. I'm sorry. There have been several things you've said in several different videos that made me stop and look at you through honest eyes, not judgmental ones, and I started seeing someone who was way different then I originally thought, now you come out and do a video dedicated to to Johnny Diamond, and I see real pain and tears well up in your eyes, and it brought out the same in me. I have wronged you in my heart brother, forgive me, for you are one hell of a good man, as well as a good guitar player!(well mediocre anyway) just kidding bro, I wish I were half as good as you!
    1
  5922. WOW that recreated rhythm was SPOT ON! Awesome Job Rick and Gang!
    1
  5923. How is it that freaking YT musician/music teacher and studio owner/producer Rick Beato is the most talented interviewer around and all he does better than everyone else is shut the hell up after asking a simple damn question. Clearly it’s not that easy to keep your ego in check enough be silent and still when a GuitarGod is speaking because you are apparently the only human who can do it. You really the best RB. 🤘🏻
    1
  5924. One of the reasons why I like this channel so much is not just the music education or theory part, but also it gives me that feeling of having a real conversation with someone like Rick, as if he is sitting here in front of me. Rick is a great storyteller, great teacher, great musician, great producer and I am still enjoying his video content with interesting stuff.
    1
  5925. Ok. You are a great musician interviewer Rick Beato! Being a musician, you put your guest at ease and seconds in, they feel it’s not an interview. It’s just a nice chat! And we are so lucky to be that fly on the wall! Amazing. It is great content. Great Content!
    1
  5926. I watch your videos since I discovered this channel, but almost never comment. This time I have to thank you for making this a homage and recognition for your lost friend, because many of us know of great people that lost the fight against their hunting shadow, which is depression. I am really sorry for your loss.

  5927. This is why I come here.

  5928. It's hard these days to get people to use their ears, guys, it's not about the stories on the internet, it's about using your ears, you can crearly deduce that repeat was created with a delay unit, the sound of the hall is the reverberated part of the sound, but for the repeats to be in time and created with acoustic space is bonkers (would it be amazing tho if they did it that way xd). So yes, get in the internet, learn stuff from the people that did it themselves BUT DON'T FORGET TO USE YOUR EARS! Great video as alwayd BTW!! Cheers to all rock lovers out here! 😊🤣

  5929. I'm so happy you're sharing this with us ! 😊It's great to go through those technical details about how those mythological albums were created ! Thank you 🙏👍

  5932. I'm so sorry Rick. I lost my father who was a huge part of my life musically. We are all so lucky to have had those people in our lives. She seemed like a wonderful and sweet woman. Your love for her really shows in your clip.

  5935. Rick freakin Beato.....DUDE....ITS DANNY....UR OLD TRAINER. I was just watching some old Eddie van halen solos and clicked on this not knowing it was ur channel. Dude....i didnt know u could play like that. Although i guess i should have since u use to always tell me how u would play all the instruments on ur clients albums. U look like ur doing well and im diggin the short grey hair. Looks good on u. I hope u get this- id love to talk to u and catch up. Oh ya.. I saw the wedding ring too. Good 4 u. Im going to try to catch u on ur website.
    1
  5936. Wow, Rick. Seriously, do you feel like we do??? That is, this video production of this song, of a favorite guitarist/musician/artist, must seem otherworldly and surreal for you?!? How could you have imagined, as a young student learning guitar, that you'd have the immense pleasure of honoring and showing deep respect for artistry that millions have enjoyed (listening to this song/performance for decades)? Truly spectacular, enjoyable and revealing watching you, Peter and your friends make this video come to fruition! I'm confident all of us are so appreciative of your effort, understanding and exuberance. Keep on rocking (and revealing musicality) the way that you do!
    1
  5937. I don't know you Rick and we'll almost certainly never meet, but I'm genuinely pleased for you and what you have managed to accomplish with your channel. Well done! You're bigger than Melody Maker and all those other magazines from the '90s now.

  5938. Beautiful

  5939. Are these 'viral songs' because they make you feel fatigued and nauseated?

  5940. Unbelievable, detailed interview..best interviewer in Music online …and probably anywhere else!
    1
  5941. Wow! Like this was so encouraging, especially for parents that have been told you kid isn’t functioning on grade level or they are lazy, or isn’t living up to his or her potential. God knows, I heard all these things with both my sons in a traditional learning environment. It was painful as a parent to hear and watch the teachers getting it wrong. Thanks for sharing your amazing triumph! Lovely story ♥️
    1
  5942. Definitely love learning from a great teacher and someone that is passionate about music. keep up the great work Mr. Beato
    1
  5943. I don't think enough can be said for the YouTube artist/creator who can introduce, explain and illustrate a topic and leave viewers (many of whom are, like me, total novices) in an enlightened/inspired mindset, all in six minutes.

  5944. Rick, is this the first time I'm seeing you use a back light? It looks good! really separates you from the background and adds nice depth to the shot.

  5946. Allow me to share a story. One of the greatest masters of Indian classical raga was Ustad Allahudeen Khan. His students included the likes of Ali Akbar Khan, Ravi Shankar, Nikhil Banerjee, and Annapurna Devi. His reputation was that of a master's master, and he was regarded with nothing less than awe. His standards of musical excellence were impossibly high. He had a music room in his house in Benares, India where he practices and taught. On the walls of his music room were paintings of his teachers, his teacher's teachers, and other great masters of the Hindustani Raga tradition. On this wall, he'd included a painting of a single non-Indian musician whose legacy he considered equal to the raga masters. That was Ludwig Van Beethoven, the musical colossus before whom the "gods" tremble.

  5947. Rick, i hope you get to read this comment........your Aunt Penny, reminds me of my Dad......HUGE musical influence on me......smart, articulate boogie woogie piano player.....countless nights, goin to bed as a kid, hearing my Dad play his piano....music is VERY strong in my family as well....i have been blessed to be able to play guitar, bass, drums, sing, just never got my Dads special piano thing, but my brother sure did.......my Dad passed in Nov '97 from cancer......just a few days b4 Thanksgiving (then my Love passed in a car accident 3 yrs ago the nite b4 Thanksgiving)...so i get how this is super tough for us.......we are a family of music as well......i was brought up on classical, and Jazz....then my brothers chimed in with the Beatles, Zep, Jimi, Yes, etc.....we like intellectual pieces.....i get BORED, (like your beautiful Aunt Penny) when the composition is a bit not up to par.......i have watched quite a few vids from yer main chanel, ALWAYS loving your ability to express the needed intricacies, to help younger folks learn our beautiful art (i'm 54 now)....altho i cant read music, your Aunt Penny improvised, cuz she felt it, and knew it.....thats how my family does it....sorry this is long winded, but i feel a GREAT connection to your experience, and mine...i REALLY hope you do get to read this, as my heart DEEPLY goes out to you Sir......I will pray for the repose of her soul tonite......ALL my sympathy to you.....special lady dont even come close...

  5948. I'm watching this and thinking to myself, I don't quite get it. I'm thinking that I don't have the knowledge to comprehend what's getting everyone so excited. I was enjoying it, but that was it. Then about halfway in I feel it and I've got tears in my eyes it's so beautiful. Thank you for sharing this!

  5952. Rick- This channel should be required viewing for Music majors- or just ANYBODY who loves music, and the people/personalities behind it. AMAZING content and given the guests of late…YOU HAVE major industry CLOUT. And richly deserved.
    1
  5953. This may be the best video on all of the internet.
    1
  5954. Brendan may be 'unsung' Rick but he's one helluva interview subject. Crackling with history, info & entertainment, with two pros giving it their all, I'm ranking this my favourite of all your notable music interviews thus far. An absolute blast
    1
  5955. Great discussion 👏👏👏😎
    1
  5956. Yet another band I've never heard of that I will now listen to Thanks to Rick. 😎
    1
  5957. Rick has no boilerplate interviews - each one is tailored to the subject at hand. This leads to incredibly insightful moments like Gilmour talking about his “wonderful past…which can be a bit of an anchor.” It’s like a live performance - you give your energy to the artist and he gives it back to you. Rick invests in his subjects and gets a tremendous return on investment. He’s the best in the business!

  5958. Shout to all MOMS! No one does it better!

  5959. WMG is still getting retrocomplaints. I just sent them one on Twitter just so they can remember not to forget we are backing Rick Beato all the way on this.

  5960. Brian May loved every question. Good job Rick.
    1
  5961. Backing a cabaret singer once, the act changed the running order after run through but before performance, (somehow I missed that information) they dropped a song and I ripped into the next intro - solo guitar, "Johnny B Goode", - think - Chuck Berry and you've got the idea - but next up should have been a ballad ! Cue much scrambling for parts amongst the rest of the band !! I still dream about it and wake up in a sweat thirty odd years later !

  5964. Absolutely love this channel Rick, excellent content. I have followed you since around 50k subs, and lost many hours of sleep from your videos. I feel the same frustration you expressed in this video, yet to a much greater extent...

  5965. Rick is a GOOD listener...refreshing.

  5966. The Fly and In God's Country are two more great The Edge solos. Excellent vid, as always!
    1
  5967. Dear NYT... get real... forget the stats. The one question that needs to be asked is ... "has Taylor Swift (or anyone) had the cultural influence on the times we live in now, like the Beatles had on those living in the 60s?" Not for just the duration of a tour but completely, for a decade., - have 100s or maybe 1000s of bands formed from a single television performance? - have 1000s of people or 100s of bands invested in a philosophy, like everyone did after the Beatles started talking about Eastern Philosophy? It was not just the music, the Beatles did not only change the fashions, they changed the way people thought.
    1
  5968. Hi Rick, you probably don't read this, but man, you have opened my eyes to music... eg Oscar Peterson. Sting, you definitely don't read this... but man, I'm fan.

  5969. I told my wife I was two and a half hours into a three hour interview. She was amazed and said it must REALLY be interesting to hold MY attention. Perfect interview. He put the perfect bow on it at the end. ❤

  5972. it amuses me how everyone on youtube puts up a thumbnail with an oh face in it, but don't react like that in their video. whenever rick posts a "greatest" video, you're gonna see some oh face.

  5973. Rick, is that your Beato LP Special?

  5974. Rick ,your body of work will go down in history ,not just as a great you tube channel , but moreover as a priceless document of an Era. Academics and wild aspiring muso's alike will reference your work to learn from. It's not just entertainment , although its truly is amazingly entertaining. It is a serious deep dive in to Art history. of our era, our history . Jesus, Rick, Thank you for everything.

  5978. You are an incredible musician

  5979. Dangit Rick, I already wanted a 70s LP Deluxe. Now the prices are gonna go up. I thought we were friends.

  5980. Hi Rick. You really surprised me. Never thought you fancied classical music, not to mention the gratest pianist alive MARTHA ARGERICH. Of course I'm subscribed to your channel. Please allow me to give some advise to those who have never had the pleasure of listening to Martha. Rush immediately here on YouTube to watch and listen and get stunned by Martha on 1982 Rachmaninoff's 3rd Piano Concerto. You will fall in love with the music and Martha. Best interpretation of that concert ever, bar none. Enjoy. As for you Rick keep t up. From a fellow musician. Thanks

  5981. Heya Rick 👋 My clients consistently bring you up given the uncommon, yet similar last names! Who knows, maybe we share a grand parent from Italy! Love the videos man.
    1
  5982. I think it would be fair to say Dave Grohl and Foo Fighters got some inspiration from Swervedriver
    1
  5983. I don't know you or your channel but your words on how to deal with moving on, the realities of life and your down to earth outlook really helped me today. I have thought about starting a channel for various reasons but what I took from what you said was not related to any of that, just life in general for someone struggling. Thank You
    1
  5984. Rick, i'm a big time fan and love your videos. Please continue to do Jazz Videos, i know they don't always get as many views but i love hearing you talk about the genre, and there are those of us out there that still love it.
    1
  5985. Rick i have tinnitus from U.S. Army infantry training . when you played your tinnitus simulation i cranked it on my Dell laptop, and heard nothing!?!?. is that because i'm hearing it all the time? buy the way i love you but jazz still sucks! yea it's me.
    1
  5986. Why 2 mill viewers Rick? Becouse you bloody well rule. Thx mate.
    1
  5987. But, Rick! Watching an entire video cuts into my "expressing my outrage" time! Wankers.
    1
  5988. This is more than what couple of state sponsored broadcasting houses put together are able to produce. Rick, I salute you.
    1
  5989. OMG, thank you Rick for the most amazing look into the heart and soul of NYC in the 60’s
    1
  5990. I thought you presented an interesting perspective in your first video. You could say this is no different than the sports athlete. In their early to mid 20's they are at their peak but by 30 or so their abilities are decreasing. There are the rare exceptions of course but on average.
    1
  5991. Great vid, BUT - "Kid CharlemaNGe" ? Some new dog affliction? In jest!
    1
  5992. No mention of Rick's producer skills on the backing track?
    1
  5993. You loyal followers probably already know & do this but if there were any Beato vid that required headphones it's this one. Great mixing job, Rick!!
    1
  5994. Is this the best music channel in this whole network or what??? Congrats, Rick and thanks for posting this on YouTube. Your content is amazing!
    1
  5995. So good Rick! I am not a musician I just love good music and I love how you dig into it to the song and break it down. I hear stuff I’ve never heard before. I’m glad that you tube released it!
    1
  5996. Hello to all you 2 million five hundred and and forty thousand plus who didn't forget to subscribe, that's some community, the house that Rick built, wow, love it, so greatful, and the hang is the best, big up the musicians xxx
    1
  5997. Dear Rick, Silverhaired musical man of genius, losing a family member sucks. Its one of the hardest things to experience in this life. I find your video relatable, even though we are so far apart in age. I like to think there is an afterlife, that way I can live thinking that, maybe its a goodbye for us in this world, but a reunion in the next for them. Pets, moms and dads, etc. If there is no other purpose of the idea of an afterlife, Ill take that comfort. No matter what the reason behind it is. I love your videos and I hope you heal buddy.
    1
  5998. Hey Rick. See if you can get Alan MOULDER on here
    1
  5999. I know you probably do this for yourself too but thank you for doing this. Great video as usual! You did a great job but you should try using the EQ match feature in Pro Q 3 to get the sound even closer!
    1
  6000. Hey Rick, shoutout to you from Brazil, your channel is such an inspiration for greatness. Thank you for that!
    1
  6001. Oh, God! Gorgeous song!
    1
  6002. Rick, I know you love Blink, are you a fan of Angels and Airwaves? Their first 3 albums are amazing!
    1
  6003. I'm nearly as old as Rick but I always poo poo'd her music when I was younger. Boo me I missed out. I've never heard this tune until now. My bad for sure. This is a thing of beauty. The good news is it's time for me to discover her music now.
    1
  6004. What an awesome illustration of Joni Mitchell's intellectual / emotional brilliance -- so well placed in this production, Rick! I grew up LOVING Joni Mitchell and knowing she had to be one of the most intelligent, purposeful artists. Thank you for making this so clear in your video. GREAT JOB!!!
    1
  6005. Dude, those NeedToBreathe albums saved my sanity. I was sent to a troubled teen program for a year in high school and we could only listen to Christian music but most of it was just so shallow and poorly written. But songs like Lay ‘Em Down, Washed By The Water, and The Reckoning actually made me feel like there was hope in the world and that things wouldn’t always be bad. I still listen to those albums when I need a little boost of hope. Especially the bagpipes on A Place Only You Can Go because man you just feel it.
    1
  6006. Imagine telling 14 year old Rick this would exist one day.
    1
  6007. Saw 1:44… hmm I will just watch a bit now… watched the whole thing 😂 brilliant episode and Butch seems like a super interesting guy.
    1
  6008. Rick this was a blast to watch! You should make this one of your video series like what makes this song great. But insteaf you're picking out interesting, difficult, or unique parts of guitar solos.
    1
  6009. Rick: it's important to have people like you saying exactly what you said. In other areas there are also people very involved in what they do saying the same thing and equally concerned: top technology leaders, architects, astrophysicists, biologists, doctors, sportsmen, etc. I don't think you're against musical advancement, quite the opposite. I even think you're contributing a lot to it. Congratulations and stay strong. We want more from you!
    1
  6010. Word Rick, Word. Excellent video my brother.
    1
  6011. I’ve watched just about every video Rick has created and this…is my favorite. Cheers Rick and great story about your father.
    1
  6012. Rick like Anthony Bourdain (silver fox) has a similar passion for authenticity in his love of music that sets his interviews on the subject matter head and shoulders above the rest ...
    1
  6013. Hey Rick, don’t forget Zelter, Mendelssohn’s Berlin teacher and choral musician who knew the Matt Passion. That’s a huge influence on Felix. But your point is well-made. Love ya, man.
    1
  6014. Incidentally, this is Tim from IC.
    1
  6015. This is why I watch your videos. It's about what's good, great and absolutely awesome about music. Even tho I dont always agree with some of your personal views on who's best or what's best, you have my deepest respect because of your respect for greatness in music.
    1
  6016. Thank you Rick Beato. Of all of the great interviews you have done, this interview with Rick Wakeman is the closest to my heart. He is one of my musical heroes. And a real national treasure. You are such a talented interviewer. I love how you give respect and space to your guest. I somehow feel that you too are a national treasure. You were beaming all through the interview. Haha, so was I. Thank you!
    1
  6017. Without Rick Beato’s video content, YT would be threadbare. I mean this interview and Gilmour’s are examples of truly timeless treasures Rick has made. He is creating something special and historical for all the future generations of music aficionados. With love, respect and best wishes from 🇳🇱
    1
  6018. So Rick, forgive me if you've been asked this a billion times but, do you think what's happened to music, and rock music especially is basically what's going to happen with visual mediums too? Now that AI is here and doing so much of the creative leg work. edit: It would help if i watched the whole video before firing off a question after 2 minutes. ^^;
    1
  6019. Rick says he’s a bad editor but the editing made this video! Rick, did you edit this?
    1
  6020. Dick is still with us. You should interview him about this interview.
    1
  6021. Totally off the topic, but do you know why the cast on Rick's leg was decorated with the US flag? It was the bicentennial of the USA, and tons of US flag decorations were everywhere. Brings back memories.
    1
  6022. I think ai does an excellent job of making crappy songs that sound like mainstream crappy songs.
    1
  6023. 34 downvotes = 34 soulless tools. Rick, I love this story. Your channel is my all time favorite.
    1
  6024. I have been waiting for this interview since you announced it on Instagram! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Now I have to dig up some of the recordings you guys talked about.
    1
  6025. Your WMTSG Episode about A Perfect Circle - Weak and Powerless made me hear it completely differently and i got to learn things about this song that i never perceived on my own, having listened to it many many times before, with a casual listener hear, and a 30 year-old trained musical one altogether. This series are a precious, precious learning tool and necessary listening exercise. Not recognizing their faire use status is absolutely wrong. Striking them on top of that is just pure mindless evil. Keep up the good work, and keep up the fight against this complete bullshit.
    1
  6026. Today I found out that one of my favorite YouTubers, Rick, did 3 albums for one of my favorite bands, Needtobreathe..... how am I just now figuring that out
    1
  6027. Did not know Oscar. Spent evening listening to his playing and discussion. Great man
    1
  6028. I had no idea what I was in for..... all the beautiful insight into sessions that helped make me the musician I was. Rick, you are the Aja of interviewers. Thanks for what you bring to the musical world. Real, graspable stuff <3
    1
  6029. Jesus, Rick...what a solo! You have such a relatable quality that it’s easy to forget what an incredible guitar player you are. Thanks for doing what you do
    1
  6030. In just one month Rick played a brief guitar cover of a pop-punk classic from my teens (May 16 by Lagwagon), interviewed the guitar player from by favourite band of all of existence and time (Brian May) and now invited my favourite YouTube guitarist (yes he used to be a YouTube guitarist) of all time (Phil X)... Stop it Rick! this is more than I can handle. You made me smile way too much lately!
    1
  6031. Woah 🤯 used to seeing you lead amazing interviews and stuff but man didn’t realize you can shred like that !!! Knew you were good but that was gnarly
    1
  6032. Thank you for sharing Rick. Never heard of Johnny Diamond before this vid. But now, here n Mexico, he has a name. Respect! Mr. Diamond RIP
    1
  6033. SUGGESTION : PUT THOSE 2 ACOUSTICS AT THE END OF THE RACK, SWITCH THEM WITH THE TELE'S AND THEY WILL RAMP UP TO THAT CABINET INSTEAD OF STICKING OUT LIKE A SORE THUMB ! IMHO.....LOL . CHANGE IS GOOD !
    1
  6034. Rick, one day you have to comment the beggining of the St Matthew Passion in the Otto Klemperer recording. It's incredibly slow, but the TENSION is amazing, how he can build it and sustain it for almost 12 minutes.
    1
  6035. Change your broken ankle to my 12 year old ripped knee cap. Put my name in place of yours. Your telling my story. Many ADHD musicians in the world strugle with this when they are young. Thanx for sharing.
    1
  6036. how would i know that it sounds wrong when i havent heard these songs before?
    1
  6037. Rick has interviewed Sting, Stewart Copeland, Andy summers, Kirk Hammett, Rick Rubin, Peter frampton, and Billy corgan….. now David freakin Gilmour?!?! Officially the greatest interviewer of all time 👏👏
    1
  6038. Do as Rick says! Stretch! I jacked my ring finger up for a couple weeks working on Holdsworth lol
    1
  6039. how can you have a video about guitars and compression and not mention Trey Anastasio? Not only does he use it all the time, he uses drive before compression, which gives a different tone. should be mentioned.... love the vids though keep em comin
    1
  6040. Another artist that had his best music in the same time period is Egberto Gismonti. Almost anything from his Sol do Meio Dia (ECM, 1978) could be used to show how he created beautiful music.
    1
  6041. Rick - You're one of the channels I follow and use to keep my creativity alive even in the midst of difficulty. I've been gaining an ever increasing appreciation of the art and craft of music thanks to people like you, Adam Neely, Charles Cornell, 12tone, and others. I am going to have to pick up the Beato Book on the next sale. For someone interested in learning music theory for the purposes of arrangement, especially in conjunction with a DAW, what instrument would you recommend? Keyboard?
    1
  6042. These guys look like so much fun to hang out with. However, not being a musician, I wouldn't get a lot of the jokes. But, Rick's laughing had me laughing 😅
    1
  6043. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I had to watch your video twice, the second time I laughed even more!
    1
  6044. Rick, I've heard this song hundreds of times but NOT ONCE have I heard it like you described it. You've made it so it's like the first time I've heard it. Thanks for your exuberance and energy. Keep 'em coming.
    1
  6045. Rick I am a grunge boy and you brought me to tears at the end of your video. You R a gift to these boring time were having. I am blessed to be your YouTube follower.
    1
  6046. I wrote this right after the solo, before I heard the end of the tragic story. Such a sad ending to a great talent....💔
    1
  6047. The man you show us is such a wholesome dude; in which I honestly believe is the same behind the camera as well. Thank you for posting, and simply sharing from your bank of wisdom.
    1
  6048. Excellent! Your usage of this scale in your compositions are beautiful! thank you
    1
  6049. This is my favorite video Rick has ever posted
    1
  6050. Rick, the first video I ever saw of yours was where you were complaining about Apple products, Macs in particular, and about how stupid things were regarding all the various dongles and adapters that were required to use them with music gear. I subbed immediately. I had no idea then how far you'd go with this channel. I continue to be left speechless by the quality of your content!!!
    1
  6051. I know nothing about guitar and have little to no music talent/skills but your channel and this tribute is frick’n amazing. Gives me hope for music as a necessity in our lives (schools) and for inspiring creativity. Truly a gift you’re giving to the world - even is non music peeps. You make it entertaining, educational, and just enjoyable use of time. Congratulations and thank you! ...and you’ve honored one of the great ones. Shared with many of my 🎸 friends.
    1
  6052. Even though I've heard this piece probably a hundred times via Nuryl, this STILL hit differently after listening to your commentary. You manage to deliver that precious, almost elusive experience for us when we hear something as if for the first time--- maybe it comes because you're showing the music to a friend for their first time hearing it, maybe it comes because you're driving with it in the car and it's just a different sort of perfect time of day, etc. Honestly Rick you could just release videos of you listening to music, like this, and it would kill--- for me anyway! A big, truly heartfelt THANK YOU from a subscriber you touched with this today.
    1
  6053. The video he watched of Mendez was pre recorded, so he finger synched to the keyboard part.
    1
  6054. he was playing a Fender Rhodes, but Yamaha DX7 sounds were coming out of it
    1
  6055. Mr. Beato, your work is the most excellent in every area you touch. Keep up the great work and count me in as your fan.
    1
  6056. Ey how cool is that, finally someone picked up the measurement unit "Ferraris" :)
    1
  6057. Not going to watch this again, Rick, but I thought I'd mention that this thumbnail is waaaaaaaay stronger than the original.
    1
  6058. That was the greatest thing I’ve heard for 2020. The. Greatest. Fucking. Thing.
    1
  6059. So I thought I knew Peter Frampton's music. 30 minutes later having been tutored by Rick I realise I didn't know him at all. Frampton and his band were insanely good! And to prove Rick's point about de-monetising I'm off to get a copy of Frampton Comes Alive.
    1
  6060. If you have not seen the video of Oscar on Dick Cavett (1979) it is wonderful as OP gives a hands on tutorial of various jazz piano greats from his era.
    1
  6061. Took 37 years ... Kinda proves Rick's complaints about current pop
    1
  6062. Rick for the love of god please do a what makes this song great on Ten Years Gone by Zeppelin. You’ve don’t two for their early songs but haven’t done a mature zeppelin song which I think is their best. Hope you see this
    1
  6063. I appreciate you Joe. It might sound funny but I shared what you said about people’s comments to my young 8 and 12 year old daughters 😂 What you’re saying is important for anyone of any age.
    1
  6064. I just thought I would share this, as I have a pretty crazy University admission story, though in the opposite way. I was actually very heavily prepared for my audition. I got up at five am, five days a week to practice before school, and auditioned with all ARCT level pieces. Basically I crushed my audition, and the classical guitar prof told me the same day, with two weeks of auditions left that the spot was mine (they only had one Classical Guitar performance major slot per year at the University of British Columbia). So yeah, fantastic. However, due to academic differences from my home province and BC I actually would have had to take some extra 0 credit classes to be eligible for that school, essentially they have a grade 13 in BC. The admissions "person" filed the wrong transcripts in my application, then went on vacation so when I noticed and attempted to alert them she was not available. The person's grades they filed in my application were actually lower than mine, so I was concerned however they met all the requirements. THEN, they would have caught this as the persons English grade was below 86 or whatever the cutoff was, which requires an extra course on university level writing...LPI or whatever they called it, however because of a computer glitch I was one of three students able to register into English 110 without meeting that requirement. So due to a human error, and a computer glitch I was able to register and attend my first year of university, despite not even being recognized as a high school graduate by this province. Once they discovered it they told me I could stay based on the strength of my audition, and that I was the only Classical Guitarist accepted that year, but I should make sure I finish that first year at which point the differences won't matter. I just thought that might amuse, in light of the subject of this video haha.
    1
  6065. So let me see if I understand this correctly; someone is critical of Rick’s excellent guitar playing, using spread triads, accusing him of “copying” Eric Johnson, ignorant of Pat Metheny, Jaco Pastorius and Bach…. And they’re watching a guitar-oriented music education channel…? Just checking…
    1
  6066. Video proof that when confronted with a stage show, Rick Rocks Hard. And he can jump!
    1
  6067. Your deep passion and unabashed love for music is a pure joy to watch. And as someone else said, YOU are the Dick Cavett of today. Respectful, intelligent, unbombastic interviews and content. Thank you.
    1
  6068. The first minute was a perfect reminder of why I subbed: Ricks face when he’s been surprised by his own astonishment... it’s contagious! So many of his videos start me down a rabbit hole and I’ve never regretted something I discovered from him saying “check it out, ITS ON YOUTUBE!”
    1
  6069. Whatever with the tunes, the SG SOUNDS KILLER
    1
  6070. What you see is what you get. One of the tried and true professionals left from this era of touring. Gene Clair & Rex Ray introduced me to him decades ago. 🎉
    1
  6071. Rick why is it when I re-watch your older videos and some NEW ones as well (I do this often at night.. I just love the content!) there are SO MANY ads? It’s like a double add every five or so minutes? Is it something new that YouTube is doing? I remember a couple years ago they did something to do with ads and all the YouTubers I follow were really upset about it. I really try to just let the ads run on creators I follow cause I don’t have the extra funds to donate so it’s my way of “paying” for your content. But some of these (not just your channel.. it’s happening on most of the channels I follow) are 54mins, 45mins, 25mins! Now I don’t know ANYONE that’s gonna watch a 54min ad for a 20min video. They won’t watch it for a 2 HOUR video. If it’s something that YT is doing I get it but is there a setting on your end that makes the ad videos like 3-5mins max? Don’t get me wrong.. I wish they ALL where the 16sec videos, lol but I really have no idea how that stuff works. I know you don’t get ad revenue on “what makes this song great” videos but I really enjoy the videos when you Rhett and Dave just talk music! As a matter of fact I may like those MORE then WMTSG! If this is just the way it is then I can live with it cause your content is AWESOME so just keep it going!
    1
  6072. Anyone else imagining this in their head as Rick and his buddy trying to be cool like “yeah you might not realize but we’re pretty good, just play the tape and we’ll figure it out” and then having a moment where they look at each other and realizing they’re out over their skis a bit
    1
  6073. Why Rolling Stone magazine is dead.
    1
  6074. Rick is currently my only teacher. Legend.
    1
  6075. LOL!!!! I know what you mean. But you've paid a lot of attention to tuning for decades. With most folks the notes go in one ear and out the other. Welcome to the vagaries of perception. We don't all live in the same world....
    1
  6076. Forget bout Lester Bangs or whatever music critic I’ve ever seen, Rick is the greatest ever…
    1
  6077. Rick, Ive been a sub of your channel for awhile but have never commented. I just wanted to say thank you so much for making this video, it's one that I really needed to see and hear at this particular moment in my life.
    1
  6078. They should establish an award at the Emmies for the best disseminator of musical culture through social channels and I already know who would be the first to receive it
    1
  6079. There is rarely a best. But there is sublime, extraordinary and genius. Have you watched the Peterson/Previn musical discussion at the piano? If so, what are your impressions. Rick, your videos are great!
    1
  6080. Rick, when one of your videos reveals the behind the scenes challenges, I imagine 10 of my life long band mates and friends, taking you out for a few beers and laughs. We, your contemporaries, would be happy to talk to you for hours, the way you talk to us about music. Please know you have made friends you’ve never met.
    1
  6081. Amazing. We have reached peak Beato once again. :) Thank you Rick. You're the best.
    1
  6082. 1:17 greatest mug ever lol 😆
    1
  6083. Unlike most interviews its amazing to see Artists actually want to interview with you and that is a true sign of how amazing you are Rick and that there is true genuine mutual respect from everyone you have a conversation with. 2024 was great and wish 2025 is even better for you and continued success
    1
  6084. This is the best rock interview I’ve ever heard. Thank you Rick!
    1
  6085. Rick, It's obvious to all of us that love what you do that you only speak out of the overflow of a lifetime of work. Thank you for it. God Bless you.
    1
  6086. The best hour I spent on youtube ever!
    1
  6087. Just finished watching this interview and is the best interview of a musician I have ever seen in the entire history of interviews to musicians. Rick, you are a genius!
    1
  6088. This is my favorite Beato interview, so far.
    1
  6089. Great "conversation," Rick! Got myself a beer and some chips and salsa and enjoyed hearing from Stewart about his experiences with The Police and career afterwards!
    1
  6090. This interview transcends likes and views and clicks. In 20 years will still be watched and revered as one great interview to Pat. What a masterclass.
    1
  6091. OMG @4:47. Kudos to all.
    1
  6092. I overlooked Bright Size Life. It came up on my streaming when I started playing Pat Metheny. I just assumed they switched over to Bill Frisell. Something he released last week maybe? Nope, it was Pat 45 years ago, the bass player gave it away. And I love Frisell, I just didn't realize how far ahead of his time Pat was back then.

  6093. Rick-depressing-video-game-synth-strings- Beato

  6094. We <3 your rants though Rick, they are usually for a good reason.
    1
  6095. Rick, My dad use to say something, those that can do and those that can't become teachers. Now I don't believe this after 58+ year of life but I think we can apply this to the situation. Those that can do and those that can't become critics!!!! This writer obviously has an ax to grind with Paul Simon. He, as a writer, should be objective enough to separate the art, skill and person from one another. It's like, say I don't like Fleetwood Mac's political affiliation but, I love their music. Then, I have no right to critique their music based on what their beliefs are aside from their music. I have a niece that is a editor for a medical company and she reads articles like this all the time that look like no one is editing any of their works. Crazy that you would put out articles without at least reading them and editing their content and grammar. By the way, love your rant. Have a nice day, and keep it up! Love your videos.
    1
  6096. Hands down the best interview of Ron I've ever heard or read.
    1
  6097. I started watching out of curiosity. I had no intention of spending 1:20:23. Well, here I am at 1:20:23. What a fascinating interview.
    1
  6098. @4:04 even the rhythm tracks alone give me goose bumps!
    1
  6099. OK, so I enjoy your videos.. yeah but that is not nearly enough! You are enlightening and zoom in on the details I appreciate, but never knew how to talk about.. Keep it up! I am in your debt.
    1
  6100. Why is this so satisfying?
    1
  6101. Gratuitous guitar solo? Not at all! I may be wrong about this, but I hear an unmistakable David Gilmour influence in your lead playing. Loved it
    1
  6102. I know you have a lot of younger followers. And you always sound great no matter what style. I watched one of your straight ahead jazz videos. Can you please sneak one in every now and then for us jazz lovers. Thanks in advance.
    1
  6103. Years ago I sent Rick Beato an email asking him if the artists ever watched his “What makes this song great” videos. I suggested that he would make a wonderful interviewer. I truly loved and appreciated his videos and felt that the artists would as well. I knew a while back that his channel has truly transcended with his interviews of too many artists to name. 1:25:38 Tori’s expression of admiration for Rick really says it all. This video is absolute perfection.

  6104. This is why your channel is sooo good. Your love and passion you couldn't hide if you tried.. Kudos to your father.. Nice Tribute selection ))))

  6105. What player bridges jazz with rock and blues more than this guy. Nobody.

  6106. Love your channel, Rick! I bought The Beato Book, and I'm learning so much. Sorry you have to endure the "Blockers". You should do a Guided By Voices. Anything from Bee Thousand or Alien Lanes. Thanks again for all you do!

  6107. I had the honour to see here live in Munich. It was the 2nd Chopin concerto.

  6113. @Rick Beato I am loving how you are responding to this album in 2021 - the same exact way you did when you decided to listen to your dad's gifting you with the love of music. You go to take the needle off the record and you just stop in your tracks to listen to a few remaining notes of a riff or a chord. : ) One of your best videos!! Thank you for introducing us to your dad. 💕
    1
  6114. Rick should be knighted I've said before he lets these Legends talk. What we as musicians love to do. Talk about our work. Whatever level. You hear them thank him for letting them talk. ROCK ON RICK!!!!
    1
  6115. Another beautiful video, thank you for all your work, Jah bless!
    1
  6116. Excellent episode, especially the echo of your past quarantine reaching into the present. As for the first song I tried to play, I'm pretty sure it was Don Mclean's American Pie.
    1
  6117. I have tried to contact you a few times for the purpose of producing a song or three. In fact, when you come to Chicago, I had planned to ask you (from my seat in the audience )if you would do it. What buzzkill this video is! But I get it, brother. My are thoughts that, if I was ever going to fully produce 2 of the dozens of songs that I've written, you would be the guy that would understand what best to create with them,, etc... See you in Chicago! I still might ask you, just in case
    1
  6118. Biggest problem with all the tuning down and 7/8 string guitar songs is almost no one is going to bother to learn your music.

  6119. So next video is Cardi B right?

  6120. Paused video just to write Thank you Rick for this material.
    1
  6121. I’ve watched a number of you top this and top that videos but I am thinking this is among your best so far. Thank you.
    1
  6122. The fact that Rick held the phone with the camera on the bottom when he recorded the clip drove me nuts
    1
  6123. G-d this is so bloody educational. I really appreciate your analysis - certainly didn’t get this in college 😒
    1
  6124. You’re one of the rare Youtube exceptions Rick, in the sense that you are using the platform as a tool to express what you love and have knowledge of, in an entertaining way. The views and revenue are just a by product of that, rather than the reason. THAT’S what makes the difference. You’re not trying to be a Youtuber. ✌️
    1
  6125. This was a musician's interview. Fantastic. Thank you, Mr Beato.

  6126. Hi Rick, Just picked a mug a minute or so ago. Thanks for the content.

  6127. Crazy to watch ricks early videos on what a compressor is and then fast forward to this... awesomeness

  6128. Great questioning. Nothings left. Thx

  6131. Rick this is the best interview out there on the internet. No, on every media that ever existed since any media ever exited.

  6132. Sharika Rick? That had me laughing.

  6133. To be honest, I can't even wrap my head around what I just saw and heard. Calling it amazing is frankly a disservice. Now please excuse me while I pick my jaw, eyes and ears up off the flo'!

  6134. Rick, your channel needs inducting into the Smithsonian. This is a wonderful piece of music history...
    1
  6135. Thank you Mrs. Beato. You practically saved music with that great investment in Rick. Wow!
    1
  6136. Superman wears Rick Beato pajamas!!!
    1
  6137. Most youtube personalities and attention seekers make me want to commit suicide by paper clip....Rick, you are different. You have a natural and relaxed style that is not overbearing and your stuff is very informative. You are gifted at this and I appreciate what you do and how you do it. I will say that to no other youtube personality i have seen up to now. Keep up the great work and thank you. I am buying this album.

  6138. Seeing water from the faucet, I thought you were referencing the David Bowie quote from 2002, prompted by streaming. He said, " Music itself is going to become like running water or electricity."

  6141. This is very deep and personal. Thanks for sharing and I’ll be sharing this video with my students. Rock On!

  6142. Nobody can interview like Rick and it was nice to see that Tommy acknowledges what the rest of Rick's regular viewers also know :)

  6143. I hope you had a chance to go the the Cleveland Museum of Art. It’s one of the best in the country. Best wishes on a continued recovery.

  6144. That's the most fun I've seen Mr Beato have on his channel. Infectious! I was smiling along with him.
    1
  6145. Rick, you are the KING of music interviewers. Greetings from Denmark. :-)
    1
  6146. I was sittting there watching the episode and during the commercial break I was reading something. I am half paying attention to what is going on and then Chris comes on and says who the guests were going to be for the Talking Dead. I hear Rick Beato and I think to myself, "That Rick Beato? Nah it can't be." Well sure enough it was you, not going to lie I had a huge smile on my face when I saw you on there. Also, being a music producer who can play multiple instruments made you cool in my eyes, but the fact that you like The Walking Dead made that coolness factor rise even higher.
    1
  6147. Rick, I am so glad I discovered this channel. Your videos in this series are incredible! I am discovering thing about some of the greatest songs ever recorded, that I never knew before!
    1
  6148. I am not a musician, yet as I listen to these interviews I seem to understand much more than I should. It's great to watch these HoF musicians talk frankly with Rick, enjoying him as much as he does them. A master interviewer.

  6152. Rick, you are a first rate interviewer, no one better. You've done many first rate interviews with many of the top tier music artists of our time -- no one's interviewed more nor better. But this interview with Al Dimeola is one for the ages. I don't "want" to put a superlative label on it like "the best," but if there is a 10 out of 10, you and he hit it. Just like the conversation during the first 20 minutes where he describes "getting" the perfect take when recording, this 1-1/2 hour interview is a perfect glimpse into this talented master's mind. For me this is a perfect take. At 21:30, you cut to him demo'ing on the classical guitar, and just like the story about Paco loosening up with a little weed, Al loosened and warmed while playing that piece(s) until he was so loose, lucid, and friendly for the final hour as he shared a dozen little secrets that guide his style and art. I will be listening to this interview over and over again. I have been watching you for years and learned both to listen better and learned things to listen for. I had thought (because I don't know any music artists) that YOU brought your education, practice, diverse work experience, and personally skillful artistry to bear to make you see music both as a whole yet more discreetly with more understanding than anyone else . . . until this interview. Al Dimeola is a real artist demonstrating both musical artistry together with a genius talent that he's spent a lifetime honing. Without any denigration to any of the other top artists that you've interviewed, this guy Al Dimeola checks the box for every column under musical mastery. I didn't want to use superlatives but I guess I did anyway. Congratulations on a revealingly honest look into the genius musical mind of Al Dimeola. Kudo! You (and he) deserve it.

  6153. Rick, Martha is, along with Barenboim, and 2 or 3 rock god's the last of Argentina's proud musical heritage. Of course,much of our raw talent ends up being nurtured and exploding elsewhere. Your video makes me really proud, as the current local rock scene is sadly, one where nobody's really studied much, and classical musicians have phased out and people don't seem to mind the newbies much. But Martha is amazing and should make us more proud than she actually does. In short, tx for showing her to more people!
    1
  6154. Yeah! Beck-ola!

  6155. I am quite happy that this intermediate ban directly lead me to this incredible video about Joni‘s art - thanks!

  6156. Is it me or is it that people have lost the sensitivity to be moved by music or has music become so unsophisticated and lacking in sensitivity so as to be unable to move people in that deep way? I love Rush too my favorite rock band.
    1
  6157. Happy 100! Great song pick! Freaking awesome that you were able to get Peter for it. Does this set a new standard for this series? Will we get more interviews for future songs?
    1
  6158. LOVING THIS

  6159. I love how you add the story of you dad and your son to the mix. It really emotionally grounds the exposition.

  6160. Watched this about 5 times now :)

  6161. Yet another song that I will never hear the same again after Rick’s amazing analysis.

  6162. David in all his fame is so humble, and Rick's interviews are so great. He just lets the person talk about whatever they want. Rick, you are the best interviewer of musicians on youtube! Thank you!

  6163. You're hitting my meat and potatoes with this one. What a pleasant surprise. Julian was one of my few idols and this is one of my favorite pieces to play.

  6166. The best series on Youtube. Thanks Rick!

  6167. Kind of stumbled onto your channel. Really good stuff. Just subscribed.

  6168. "If EW&F hadn't existed....but they did." Hah! Right on, RB!

  6169. Who are the people voting thumbs down on this? Thanks Rick. I don't even play an instrument, but I love the channel and I really needed this today for reasons that would take too long to explain.
    1
  6170. what i like about your videos is your entertaining and educational ...plus your a likable person
    1
  6171. Not that you're not worth the 20 minutes, Rick, but when I saw the length I thought, "well, maybe 2-3 minutes, see what it is, yada." Great story, you tell it really well, I couldn't find some of those chords with a search party. 20 minutes well spent.

  6179. BEST DAMN VIDEO EVER! I was smiling like fool the entire time, chills and goosebumps. 🙏
    1
  6180. I laughed, I cried, I cheered, I was inspired... how do you do this to me almost every time Rick?! Again I heard and experienced things in your video that I never did before! It's like the best class you ever had in school, only making you want more. Also genius move to include the artist in the breakdown... hope you can do this more too. And to Peter... I discovered this album in college and it has been one of my standout favorites ever since; it only brings back great sentimental memories. It was also such a musical and mind expanding change from the blues artists I was steeped in at the time. Cheers and best wishes to you both.
    1
  6181. We all should take a cue from Rick and take time to think about the people that have influenced us both as musicians, and in terms of character. I’ll keep my list short starting with my own father and a lot of musical leaders in my life, especially my first band Director, Mark Johnson.

  6182. This channel has become my favorite. Thank you.

  6183. The Orange sounds so good with that SG ! The Noble OD was not on right?

  6184. Doing this at 20 would put you in the top 0.1% of the world, by 40 it's probably getting fairly impossible, by 60 you're kidding me, by 80 ..................

  6185. You may have another calling as an interviewer, Rick. Just the right mix of comfortable friendliness and insightful questions. And you let people talk!!!!!! So rare these days. Another great notch in your interviewing belt.
    1
  6186. beautiful music. wow.
    1
  6187. Hands down, the best practical example of phase and how to ensure all your mics are grooving in time!! thanks, Rick!!

  6188. What an interview, Rick! Incredible and insightful. You conducted such a great interview...your questions were spot on. What a treat! Thank you!!

  6189. I like the Marshall half stack eavesdropping in.... wondering if you're going to need him.
    1
  6190. Now we know why Rick plays so many instruments, cause he aint no Singer!
    1
  6191. I’m not saying this about dweezil, but even if it’s a musician I’m not familiar with or don’t even like, I’m still going to listen to the interview just because Rick does an amazing job of making the person being interviewed comfortable, and being in an positive vibe/atmosphere, and Rick asks the right questions at the right time thus, I get to hear insight on the industry, or how to approach writing or listening. So many good nuggets to mine! Best channel on YouTube by far!
    1
  6192. One of the greatest tributes to your Dad has got to be this video in that you first begin with him not being that into music, but loving this. THEN YOUR EXCITEMENT THROUGHOUT THE VIDEO JUST GIVING TRIBUTE TO HIS TASTE. I raise one to your Dad and just as I wrote, "I raise one..." you finally brought him up again. Thank you for this!
    1
  6193. And so this is what the stated upside of the internet is. So many channels and so much of social media is just conflict and as I ruminate, how did we become so divided as a country. Then there is a video like this where a life long teacher and musician pays tribute to someone important in his life. Read through the comments. No snide comments. No angry diatribes about how someone disagrees with what you're saying. I understand that social media makes money by keeping eyes on the screen and that lies (a study from MIT confirms this) travel 6 times faster than the truth and this whole unregulated experiment is uncharted, but then you happen upon a vid, where someone, from the heart has something relevant to say, and everyone commenting on it, understands that and is respectful. It's a small ray of hope, but a ray of hope nonetheless. Happy new year Rick, and everybody and I appreciate that your thumb is on the positive side of the scale.

  6194. Spotify needs to have negative feedback on the user end, like the “Not interested” and “don’t recommend this channel” options on YouTube. Would make the platform infinitely better to navigate as a listener.
    1
  6195. Rick it has become apparent that I dont watch your channel for the just the music commentary. Your life story videos I enjoy immensely! Your stories about your family members, your stories about middle school, high school, college, track, Aunt Penny, Mom Dad, Siblings.... I think what I am saying is that now that I feel I know you a little bit and enjoy your channel I think I would probably watch a video of you reading me the phone book.... Thanks Rick, you have helped me navigate a time in my life when going out has been destroyed, staying home is almost required (in my state) and maintaining my sanity has been difficult. I appreciate you. Dan.

  6196. I love this channel and I stumbled across it searching for guitar lessons believe it or not. I have played guitar for 42 years and nowhere near the caliber of Rick. You know when you play a video game and you get like "37% complete" or something like that, I would honestly have to give myself a 0.0003% complete. All I am saying is, this chanel does motivate me to practice and play more. Cheers everyone!

  6201. God DAMN Rick youre such a good interviewer if thats a word. I know you talked before this but you won him over so well with the first minute its incredible.

  6202. Kind of weird seeing an old conservative-looking guy really enjoying metal. Much weirder BEING an old conservative-looking guy really enjoying metal. I only stumbled into the genre a couple of years ago (thank you, Within Temptation, for getting me to the New Metal streaming station), but now I'm stuck here. Love the energy.

  6203. ❤we love you George Benson

  6204. Rick, I feel you are truly one of the best storytellers on YouTube. You manage to put stuff in such a way that captivates people to watch til the end - and with no arrogance, musically. I can totally relate to the reading thing.. as a kid my dad got so frustrated that I didn’t want to read any books he offered to pay me money to finish a book (I never did and I regret it) on the flip side I could hear every single layer in a Stevie Wonder arrangement just fine 😂 I lost him at 19 and it spurred me on take my music seriously and I can now say 10 years later that I’ve travelled Europe as a musician and I’ve hit almost 2 million on Spotify which for me is a milestone. We are all meant to be doing something and I think you found your calling early on (thank god for your injury 😂 but big ups to your mom!!) ...Keep this channel going because everyone appreciates you sir!! 🙏🏼
    1
  6205. Any musicians ,composer or trust who object to Mr Beato doing this great honor to their work is a complete idiot to the tenth ....this man is the greatest thing ever to happen to music history . There should be a special place in the rock n roll hall of fame to you mate .....no others ever analysed music greats like you so. Not even remotely close .
    1
  6206. I play bass. I have for 40 years. I am not this kind of player. But I bought this record. Back then. It opened the WORLD for bassist. That can't be overstated. He absolutely influenced everyone since. Whether they know it or not.

  6208. Thank You Rick for everything you do on your channel and for being so incredibly generous and brave for its content. I'll be sharing this SCAM video with my son Sean Hogan who is also a YouTuber (currently at 500k subscribers). This issue has all the making of a class action only question is what law firm is brave enough to take on these cooperate giants.

  6209. I have been moved many times by your stories and having had a major label ruin my band in 86 I can really relate. I took Pennys advice and barked a little. All these years later. It helped. Even at 66

  6210. One thing you never discuss is why and how you have endless energy. Are you. a gym person? A supplement taker? You have way too much energy for your age group.. Why is that?

  6214. Rick, for many years, I have looked forward to guitarist interviews in magazines and watched many being interviewed by you, but usually, afterwards, there is a slight disappointment that they didn't really explain anything in the 'right' level of detail or with understanding at a good level.....well...Dweezil just delivered.....as a guitarist on guitar, that was just about perfect.....also so humble and ego free....thank you guys
    1
  6215. I just bought the BBook 4.0 and the Instagram /YT Tab collection. I have learned more about music from this channel than any previous source and I need to pay my tuition bill. Folks, this is totally unsolicited (Rick don’t hate me for doing this) but I ask you to spend money on this channel. Some content on YT deserves compensation, and if you enjoy Rick’s content as I do please buy his stuff. OK, off the soapbox.
    1
  6216. Thank you for sharing this Rick. I consider it a friendly reminder to appreciate the music background we had in my family. Most of us played music and some still do. My mother went in the hospital when I was two years old, stayed in there for eight years and passed away in 1980. She played piano and as legend has it, she wrote music for the Tommy Dorsey band but was too bashful to go into the venue where they were playing to here them play what she wrote. My father played country songs on the guitar, my two half brothers played guitar and piano and most of the other kids dabbled in music and my brothers and I still do. There was a lot of upset and dysfunctionality in our family but we have stuck together and I can attest to the fact that it's a healing thing that brings people together to have music in your family. It breaks down barriers. I can see how your family and aunt Penny have had such a positive impact and influence. My condolences to you and your family for your loss. Your aunt Penny was amazing. Have a pleasant day. Thanks for all your teaching and sharing.

  6219. I've been a silent subscriber for several months now. Rick, you are a gift and what a gift your aunt has been to you and through you. This is meant to be a compliment - I just knew there had to be some Catholic blood in you. God bless you, man!

  6222. Rick, this was a genius video. Please revisit this concept with other pieces and guitarists, it was really thought-provoking.

  6223. Your friends voice on Ain't No Sunshine is gorgeous. You need to record and release that version!

  6224. You sir, have the best channel on YouTube

  6225. I'm not sure how YouTube decides what videos to recommend for me but occasionally a lustrous pearl reveals itself as has happened through your video. Thank you for the introduction to Martha Argerich.

  6226. I saw Billionaire's record release (at the Cotton Club) and other shows as an audience member, but mixed FOH or monitors or otherwise worked with Hollyfaith more times than I can count (and a few Thing 1, Thing 2 shows later also), and Rob was always one of my very favorite people. In the 20 years since I left ATL, he's one of the performers I remember the best - seconding everything kind said here. May he RIP and rock on eternally.

  6227. Rick, you are doing a wonderful thing! Just stay to it and keep going! No analysis, just keep being. Talk about great television! Your life equipping really puts you in a relaxed groove that translates into a really relaxed vibe that is so refreshing to enjoy. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
    1
  6228. Not to split hairs here but Rick's comment "There's no autotune here" is not to be taken literally. Of course there is. Recordings don't get made these days without a general autotune cleanup. Rick would know this. He probably just means that it's used very minimally in her case.

  6229. Rick we need a scooter stunt video! Get on that half pipe

  6232. The greatest songs are like a pleasant day trip and Rick is your tour guide.

  6233. I can sense Rick that even through a computer you feel this music as strongly as many of us do too. I could go on but words are useless in the face of such beauty.

  6234. Rick looks as good if not better on live TV as he does in his studio.

  6235. Rick with a little exhibition shreddage, don't let him fool you folks, he can play like crazy

  6241. So Michael McDonald ended up as an iconic background voice on the debut album because he happened to already be in the studio next door. You can't make this stuff up. 😊

  6243. Rick, I could sit and listen to you talking for hours… Come to think of it, I do sit and listen to you talking for hours. Love this kind of stuff.

  6244. Lower the John Lennon to create equal negative space above and below it on that wood panel. Put three paintings on the red wall above amps. Those two small ones are driving me nuts! LOL. Move the two tall acoustics to one end or the other of the guitar stand

  6245. Great interview Rick!

  6246. As an Indian who watches Rick, I feel so good today watching him talk about Shakti. Those guys are very underrated in the country they represent with their music. Shankar has had a great career in Bollywood as a Singer and a Music Director but his works with John and Zakir often gets unnoticed. Much Love <3

  6247. So...I've been watching your channel for a couple years, but I think this is the first time I've commented. Chris Ryan turned me on to you awhile back. I've listened to hundreds of hours of him, and I've watched loads of your videos. So hearing you on his podcast was so bizarre. It was like being a fly on the wall listening to a conversation between two people I feel like I know so well but have never actually met. Anyway, that's all I have to say. Carry on.
    1
  6248. Rick, it amazes me how many variables you talked about in this episode. There were so many items you checked off that I never considered at all. That's not to minimize your desire to fine tune, but there were so many subtilties which went right over my head. I guess my real comment is, I really like you and your channel. I play music with a group of friends on an amateur basis. I talk about you all the time. Some members have signed on. You have taught me a great deal and I'm grateful for that!! Thank you!! Chuck in Northern New England

  6249. So sorry to hear this Rick. I'm just seeing this now. Best to you and your family!

  6251. Oh man, I'm saving this video for tomorrow morning so I can watch it first thing with a cup of coffee. (I sure hope there's a plexi in the video)

  6252. No one loves music more than Rick. Infectious.
    1
  6253. Don’t really know a lot about music but like this channel so much. You are amazing story teller and always joy to watch. I think its because of your enthusiasm and passion for your craft. I also watch all of your music theory videos despite the fact sometimes I don’t know what are you talking about 😄
    1
  6254. Just... DAYAM!!! What Talent! Looking Forward to More Great Content!!!!!!!! Glad. So Very Glad I Found Your Stuff!
    1
  6255. Why does Rick get more out of musicians than anybody else? He's accomplished and genuine. It takes only seconds to realize that.
    1
  6256. Anyone else besides me feel they got "short-changed" on the developmental ladder of life??? haha. After watching this one Rick it reconfirms just how differently we are all wired.. She is truly fascinating and a gift of human evolution. :)
    1
  6257. Well Rik, this video made me weep, so much beauty, almost more than I can take. my ears feel like they are coming alive again.... Thank you.
    1
  6258. Rick is hands down the best rock interviewer of all time. His vast musical knowledge enables him to ask such intelligent and insightful questions. Appreciate you so much Rick!

  6259. Jaco's lil brother Rory Pastorius is my best friend...& Rory runs Jaco's estate too. Jaco's other brother Greg is an artist..

  6260. I was actually afraid to watch this for the information bomb I knew it would be. Did not disappoint. Well played Rick and Pat!
    1
  6261. Funny coincidence, I just saw the Steve Gadd Band the other night and one of their tunes opened and closed with a quote from One Step Beyond! This is clearly some kind of hyper-dimensional link... Great video!
    1
  6262. This is basically a WMTSG on one absolute killer of a track. I liked Coldplay during these times, such good sounds and melodies. But then they went all electronic/dance/whatever and they just lost me. I'm a fan up until Viva La Vida and A Rush Of Blood may be their finest hour

  6263. Belonging is pure art, period.

  6264. Did anyone else notice that the table Ted and Rick are sitting at is a slab of wood perched atop a 4x12? 😁Great conversation! 👍

  6265. This has got to be the best Music Channel out there. Thanks alot Rick!! Going to buy your book..!

  6266. What makes this episode great? RICK'S NOTE FOR NOTE, CHORD BY CHORD, HIT BY HIT DECONSTRUCTION OF THIS AWESOME SONG. A M A Z I N G HATS OFF TO ALL IN HERE THANKS TO PETER FRAMPTON TOO (of course)

  6267. legend and legendary interview! really good camera and sound, too! pat ist right, rick is doing a great service to musicians and to all people interested in music! well done!

  6268. I liked seeing Mal Evans and Glyn Johns make very useful suggestions for "The long and winding road" and "Let it be"
    1
  6269. Thank you so much for sharing this information! I’m a producer and as much as I love tutorials on YouTube, a overwhelming majority of videos are done on how to make trap beats or sounds. I deeply love the music of the 60’s and 70’s and would love to know more about how to recreate these iconic rock sounds!
    1
  6270. Rick you really look at the camera like we're in the studio with you. Great content!

  6271. Very cool video. First time viewer after months of seeing ur vids in the recs... Subbed and hit the bell within first few minutes. 👌🏾🙌🏾🤟
    1
  6272. Rick, I’ve always liked you but this made me love you. Thanks for passing on this life story. Means a ton to me personally but also feel I’ve been given invaluable advice on raising my now 2 1/2-year-old daughter and the next one on the way in June. Keep being Rick. I’m sure you will.
    1
  6273. Ok, I saw this and as a drummer I was really curious. I started it and watched all the way through without cheating to the comments or looking for a listing in the info. Was glad to see Rosanna made it - but I knew it would. So many more could be on this, but it is your list, Rick, and it is a respectable list! Bravo! That said, check out Little Feat - Time Loves a Hero! That one really swings!

  6274. If I was taking a philosophy course on post-modernism discussing deconstruction, and the professor asked, "So what is your best example of deconstruction you can think of?", my answer would be "What Makes This Song Great" by Rick Beato.
    1
  6275. Rick you are truly the rock star whisperer. Your interviews always seem like you are just speaking to an old friend. Maybe that’s the secret. We are all old friends through music.

  6276. my two takeaways: 1) a child needs someone who believes in them.... 2) they need to find that "thing" that gives them the chance to start believing in themselves

  6277. Based solely on "Sailing" I have never been able to stand Christopher Cross. That said, if I had heard this solo I might have changed my mind. It's pretty badass!

  6278. super, super interview!! well done, loved it!!

  6279. I wasn’t sure by the title but once I found out who was being interviewed I decided to give it a try. The interview flew by and was awesome!

  6280. I have never heard of Brad, but this is one of the most fascinating and interesting interviews i've seen. Bravo to both Rick and Brad for bringing this to us!

  6281. I T M S In The Musician's Studio.

  6282. Rick, I am not a musician, but subscribe to your channel. I am in a completely different profession, but the content of this video interview is very informative! A big thank you to you and your accountant guests. I appreciate anyone in their respective field with enthusiasm and passion for what they do.

  6283. Here’s my comment — thank you for turning an unremarkable day into a remarkable day with some unique learning and appreciation. Thank you

  6287. You couldn't make this up if you tried! What a wonderful story and ending. Who says impossible dreams don't come true in the most unexpected way,Brilliant.

  6288. I started off my 5 drive to Starbucks this AM listening to this interview. As i do with most all Rick’s interviews, I watch them in small increments due to time constraints. Well, I have literally spent the last 1hr & 16 minutes sitting in my car at Starbucks parking lot. Hands down the single best, most interesting, and captivating interview to date (imho). Outstanding Rick! George is an absolute musical genius and legend, but and his story telling ability to second to none. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
    1
  6289. That was a severely useful video. You stated very clearly in the first 15 seconds what it was all about and then you immediately proceeded with practical examples. Definitely one of the best videos yet and I hope other music education videos follow a similar template.
    1
  6290. Not saying this a top list maker, but Bread’s opening riff to Mother Freedom always caught my ear.
    1
  6291. You have made videos on just about all of my favorite rock bands, analyzing why their songs are great. It always hits the nostalgia button hard, with an updated appreciation for hidden musical sophistication. But this is by far the best video of yours I've seen. Thank you for making this.
    1
  6292. Rick, Thank you for being you. I lost my eldest son 3 months ago at 28. Your words describing Peter's loss resonate with me. Even in my sadness I found comfort in your words. Thank you. Kevin Bradley
    1
  6293. Thanks, Beato...amazeballs as always. But who and why the hell did ANYONE down-vote this video?
    1
  6294. I hear the Swerevedriver influence! Love the bass lines! Great tune!!!
    1
  6295. Gilmour, Rick Rubin, Sting, who needs the TV. This is why we come here. Yes, I left out 12+ others, but you get the point.
    1
  6296. In the Beatles' day, people had to get up off their butts and go buy the record. These days, a few clicks.
    1
  6297. Best videos on youtube. Rick's passion, excitement, knowledge.
    1
  6298. This is the BEST... THE BEST, music channel in this vast YouTube universe. Period.
    1
  6299. I’ve been hoping you’d make this video ever since I hear Matt talk about meeting you on the BobbyCast podcast. A really crazy story
    1
  6300. Rick, this song is a fine case in point for your "blocking" argument. I heard this song in the past, but I never really "HEARD" this song until this breakdown. Its fantastic and can't stop listening to it now and its made me seek out more Gordon Lightfoot material. Thank-You!
    1
  6301. I rarely comment, but I just had to come here to say that Sting is the absolute coolest human being. And Rick is the best music interviewer!
    1
  6302. Rick! You’re on the cusp of 2 000 000! Glad I went along for the ride!
    1
  6303. I feel like I comment "This is the best interview I've seen" on all of your stuff. But gun to the head, this is the best music interview I've seen ever. The passion, the non prestige, the awesome conversation. Thank you Rick!
    1
  6304. Amazing video Rick. What makes your channel so cool is your love of so many musical genres.
    1
  6305. Absolutely correct. Another one that makes goose pimples for me is Movement IV, Pines of the Appian Way...
    1
  6306. Rick, for example, when you have Sting on, you don’t ask him about tantric sex, or political stances, how much he’s worth, you ask him about the emotions, skill development of sound. Thats why they respect you, because you’re respectful, knowledgeable, you ask what we want to, if we were as smart. You do fantastic work.
    1
  6307. By happenstance, I stumbled upon this video. This has been the most profound statement made by any Youtubers I have seen in the last three months of this year and actually for a period of much longer than that. I suffered in my school years the same way you described yours. I was good at music, listening, and being able to emulate what I heard. Mr. Beato you’re awesome.
    1
  6308. Hi Rick, I didn‘t think that I would leave a comment. (You have over 1.5 million followers.) Anyway, your great videos and music lessons let me regularly forget in what miserably times we actually live in. You are a magician. There should be a channel "What makes this human great?" You definitely whould own a clip of it! Greetings from an amateur musician of Eastern-Germany
    1
  6309. At least Dylan will have very little concern about you wanting to use his guitar(s)
    1
  6310. Rick, This was so good, man, I found your channel by accident and so glad I did, Iove the way you bring out the best in it all.

  6311. We've discovered Rick's favorite isle in the whole audio candy store. I think I got a contact sugar rush.

  6312. Another great capsule for the Ricksonian archives.

  6313. I watch a lot of YT channels. I come to this one for soul, and for optimism (as well as for music, duh). It brings me up. Consistently. Thanks, Rick.
    1
  6314. Don't shoot me....but I've never been a Sting/Police fan, but because Rick was doing the interview, and I know he brings great content, I listened. Very interesting listening to Sting open up about so many aspects of his music....Rick and Sting have given me a reason to go back and give his music another listen, particularly the post-Police music. Great interview Rick, you are the best at what you do!
    1
  6315. Rick, I need to pull the trigger and buy your stuff. Hobby player, honestly have no clue what level I might be, but I do know just paying attention to your channel (and a few others) has helped, even without a practice/study regimen. Hoping I can grow old with this hobby and you've made made music more intersting and enjoyable. God bless you for that.
    1
  6316. Joni is genius! Thanks for introducing me to her music, Rick.
    1
  6317. I’ve seen quite a few YTQ videos, and they always strike me as largely self indulgent exercises. As you indicate, they’re very formulaic appeals to sympathies around how difficult the decision was to make and how demanding it all is, and that they need to do things for themselves instead of the algorithm—that sort of thing. If you like these, you’ll probably enjoy the videos of people leaving the lifestyle design scene (digital nomads, van life, etc.). Some of the themes there are similar, but almost always have a soft confession that they’ve been lying and what they show on their YT is only a tiny bit of the best part of the experiences.

  6318. “We have 1 down to where we can record it” proceeded to sound better than the original recording. Bravo gentleman love it
    1
  6319. Makes a note to check Out Martha Argerich - This is what I love about the Chanel - you can go from Joni Mitchell, to Jazz, to Grunge, Rock to Classical Music and back in any order you like and in no time. This does let me foget to be a musical snob and just appreciate the whole lot. I fear I would even appreciate " Ernst Mosch und seine Original Egerländer Musikanten" after watching a "What makes this song great" of them, if Rick was into German Volksmusik, too...
    1
  6320. Rick Beato; dude. You mentioned 'surprise' early in the conversation, it clearly struck a proud nerve with both gentlemen. Mr. B. The only surprise with regards to your sharing is that I could not possibly be surprised. That's quite surprising. Thank you Rick, so lovely.
    1
  6321. @6:22 Yeah, agreed, there is great music still being produced today. It's simply buried deep into a pile of pop $%&#. Rick, it would be very welcome if you would focus more on the great new stuff, and less of the weekly top 10 boring 4-chords of late. Not dissing. Love this channel, love the insights and analysis you use to do!
    1
  6322. How can I hit LIKE one thousand times?
    1
  6323. This was 'anemoia' for me. Which, I had to look this up, a feeling for something nostalgic that I've NEVER experienced....kind of like when I watch the video for Toto's Africa....a longing to go back to a continent I've never been to. Rick, you're just amazing, the whole band was awesome. You made my day...and I'm just getting the day going. The greatest gift you can give your subscribers. Thank you.
    1
  6324. Wow - Unbelievable! I held off until Friday night so I could devour this in one sitting. Made my week. Month. Year. Just wow.
    1
  6325. The best thing about Rick's channel besides the mondo-keen educational things are interviews with total legends and asking them questions I never thought I would get to hear the answer to and to get some insight on what some people are really like. No need to stop now I think. Same with my channel, it's 13 years on and it's a limited audience - I don't need to announce my departure from an airport waiting room nor do I need to say if I decide to stop. I'm not even sure the people who watch my videos would care. Rick's channel on the other hand, the last 3 months alone have been a bonanza of amazing musicians. Keep it up!
    1
  6326. I don't think bringing up the exceptions is diving into the real discussion here. I'm an exception, I grew up in the 80's/90's playing way too many video games, and listening to way too much music and now I get to write music for video games. That path exists, but its not the norm, I agree. I think maybe the term "care" could mean different things to different people, and even to different time periods. When I care for something, I typically want to lean in, to learn from, to create more. I'm constantly looking for the loop of inspiration to fill my needs. Whether it's music, or drawings, or even food - if I eat an amazing quesadilla I'm going to cherish it, study it, and learn to recreate it, put my own mark on it and pass it along back to the ether of quesadillas. The quesadillaverse. But someone may also care for the same things as you or I and not have to decompose, reconstruct, and synergize it. They just enjoy it, digest it, and put it on a shelf. Or delete it from the hard drive because they're running out of space, or what have you. It's disposable. It will be replenished. It is a given. Which of course ties into how art/media is produced. These days, I don't need to buy a physical album, I can just store it in the cloud and stream it. I don't need to learn how to cook, but I can follow this video tutorial on making the perfect quesadilla. The only problem we have is which recipe do I follow? There are so many. We have regurgitated our encyclopedia into the universe without proper curation and perspective. It exists. It will be replenished. I can get to it later. Everything is amazing. Everything is flat. It is loud and compressed and easy to digest. Heck, even my kids all are super interested into music, but ultimately games win over. So I'd love to point out my exceptionalism and say "you're wrong, old man!" But I don't think you are.

  6331. Bravo Rick. You’ve hit it out of the park! And kudos to Seal for helping. Perhaps you could consider interviewing Trevor Horn.

  6332. Something tells me Rick would be one of the most interesting guys to sit down with to have a beer.
    1
  6333. Done. Tix for three friends, too. Can’t wait!

  6334. As a drummer, I SO appreciate the education I got from this, and thank you for asking the questions I would have!!
    1
  6335. Rick, tell me you're getting a good cut of the Ticketmaster upcharge. Between the upcharge and the ticket processing fee the cost is nearly double the stated seat cost on the website. That doesn't seem fair, but if you're getting the money I can at least rationalize the support for your channel.
    1
  6336. I think Hendrix would have only had a hard time because he's a complete feel player. Time alignment and auto tune would have gutted his songs

  6340. Rick Beato is the greatest music icons interviewer..🎼🎓👌🏽
    1
  6341. Rick, you are my hero. You and me, we're probably old enough to being old disgruntled farts, praising the good old times and condemning all the new stuff for being fake. My guitar teacher tends to be disgruntled by current music - and probably his new young students. You on the other hand actively listen to all kinds of music and consciously decide for yourself. You do what we all should do more, be open, listen carefully and embrace the good stuff that comes along. You have a routine that allows you to discover new good music instead of always turning to your safe haven of old hit records. We need more people like you. In record companys, on radio stations and as listeners - and probably as musicians, too. Thank you for being a good role model.

  6342. I do not know how many time I wrote this in a comment to a video of yours, but I’ll say it once again: thank you, Rick.

  6343. Historically that's how he's come across when interviewed. Which makes this one all the more remarkable.

  6344. Very interesting video Rick. I love this format and would love to see you do something like this frequently. I don’t know how to play music but always want to know what you are going to post next.

  6345. I've been to four performances of Martha Argerich, actually I didn't miss any of her performances in Israel and all of them took places, never cancelled. She is fascinating.

  6346. I’m old. I stayed up late for this.
    1
  6347. But how do you know your guitar is in tune if you can't hear the whole song? 😉 Seriously though, it makes sense with new viewers coming in and your content changing over time. I still go back to the different "top 20 guitar intros" sequences from, what... 5 years ago? ... every time they come back around in my feed.

  6349. Managers and advisers can be valuable in finding gigs and establishing careers. Unfortunately, they tend to be covetous of real talent and want to claim they "discovered you" - so they want most of the money. Mozart was buried in an unmarked grave, because he couldn't pay his bills. Yet his gift to mankind is incalculable. Where were the friends and associates who could have bailed him out? Cherish talent. It's a gift from heaven. But your counselor may not be from that place, but from the other. Good advice for young artists. I'm a very old graphic artist and music-lover. Thank you!
    1
  6350. I’ve lived and breathed music since my very first memories. It’s been the single most consuming and effervescing element of my existence; yet I think Rick’s passion and enthusiasm for music is without peer.
    1
  6351. These are the most important stories to tell. THANK you so much for sharing. We get a lot of the linear storytelling that is "that's bad"/"that's good" but you contextualized your "that's bad" and it was awesome. You do amazing work here, I wish I was a musician.
    1
  6352. Merry Christmas! Just bought the book - thanks for the knowledge! By the way, your tone on this video is really rather "righteous". Stay safe.

  6356. 8,000 comments? How are you gonna hear me??? So, I'll spit in the wind for you one time. I pay $70 an hour to learn music theory now. Happy to do so. And because of you and the Beato Book. And... and and... I'm happy. Do this. Go grab your phones and put on your favorite album that contains Debussy's Claire de Lune. Wait! Remember how much your favorite parent loved you right now, and then touch your loss, your grief and their love for you as far back as you can remember. Ok??? Kleenex please! That's music. That's Music Theory, That's what I'm doing. That's what you teach us all. thank you... you give purpose, inspiration, and the encouragement to do the work... even if I am 71 and am happy to pass away getting better at the next Claire de Lune. Music will revive! You help us all!

  6359. you get to know the musicians almost personally with your videos, Al di Meola, and the Sting interview also comes to mind...although I have to say Al seems more humble and down to earth.
    1
  6360. I’ve seen lots of the old videos, so I knew you were an accomplished guitarist, plus I have watched the videos where you talk about your history in music and how things evolved from your youth into going to school and then being a music professor and then in a band and then being a producer, etc. But I did think it was interesting when Stewart Copeland said something to you about a certain aspect of music production as if you needed it explained to you and I thought you did a great job not taking his head off saying dude I’m a producer! 😂
    1
  6361. I love this Rick. I have interviewed Warren six times over the years, amongst 3,000-plus total interviews, and I was confident you would get even more out of him, and you did. Enjoyed it and appreciate it. cheers ~ Derek Halsey

  6362. Wow Rick, I’ve been a subscriber for about 2 1/2 years. I’ve enjoyed almost every single thing you do but this video blew me away. This is your best video ever!
    1
  6363. Great clickbait title.
    1
  6364. Rick perhaps just gave us an example of why he is so good and why we admire his talent when he said he listened to all of Keith's records. Maybe the fact that he LISTENS and has listened to so much music is as important as the time he spent practicing. It may seem like a small thing but I suspect its a huge thing. Listening may seem obvious and we probably all think we listen enough but late in my life I realized I should have listened more. I have learned things consciously but realize I've learned things sub consciously simply by being exposed. That is my thought for today.

  6365. Are you kidding? Of course I'd watch every second of this Best quote: "Good luck on the edit", "what do you mean? I'm not gonna edit any of this?" 😂

  6367. Perfect format. Play by play. Love it.

  6368. The title of this video led me to think that beautiful music, being a subjective thing, is different things to different people, and I might not agree with your choice of these 2 minutes. But I heard your introduction and then I listened to the 2 minutes, and I felt the breathless rush that I only get from impossibly beautiful music. Thank you for making this video.
    1
  6369. I cried when watching this...Thank you Rick you are amazing.
    1
  6370. It was Lost In Love you were hearing but not able to name, i think!?
    1
  6371. Just sharing... one scene that got my attention in relation to the music was from the pilot when Rick shot the walker at the park. In that scene, he said "I'm sorry this happened to you." I believe the music was by Bear McCreary. It was so moving.
    1
  6372. "A laboratory of curiosity," Rick, that describes your entire approach to this channel and flows from your contagious and never-ending love of REAL music from all corners. I must say that although being 61 and a lover of music all of my life, I've never heard of Julian, but wow, what a treat!
    1
  6373. Beato, in portuguese, means blessed, happy, or beatified... But then, you surely know that.
    1
  6374. Rick Beato . Musician, producer and journalist. A better interview I've never seen.
    1
  6375. Till today i didn't know about Martha Argerich. Thank you, Rick.
    1
  6376. I just keep coming in here hoping that Rick shows me how to play the guitar intro to First Circle by Pat Metheny 🙏
    1
  6377. Rick, your outro guitar solo on Cardinal Motion sounds amazing. Every notes is perfectly placed and very powerful. Love the pedal point part. I love your solo. 🙏❤️🎸❤️🙏❤️💯💯🎸💯❤️🙏
    1
  6378. This will never be seen. Rick can you do a list of top 10 or 20 songs best heard with headphones? Floyd? Zep? Hendrix? VH?
    1
  6379. How would I know we hit a pothole? I've never driven down this road before.
    1
  6380. Who doesn't sing made up songs about their pets?
    1
  6381. You'll never see this, but as a neurologist I see this type of thing from the physician side... MS is tough and cruel. And man I just can't imagine what you're going through. My sincerest condolences and prayers to you and your family, Rick. Thank you for what you do. I hope one day to be fortunate enough to meet you.
    1
  6382. Rick this reboot is fantastic! Awesome job! The video both highly informative and engaging (and honest)
    1
  6383. I had a dream I was at Rick's house and he was telling me I was a bad YouTuber and telling things I should be doing. Then I saw this Tool video. I don't like Tool so I did not watch this one, then he changes the title and I'm in...now that's YouTubin...
    1
  6384. Rick- This vid is exceptional: Ken Brown was my first violin teacher summer after 3rd grade, and is an incredible teacher and person. Had to switch to guitar when I left Fairport public schools for McQuaid, but I have to credit Mr. Brown, Mr. Osterling, and Mrs. Osborn for nurturing my love for music. Even with the interruption of my career in Army Medicine, the passion fostered in the Fairport Music program lasts...Glad to be getting back to the guitar in retirement. Your vid brought back a flood of fond memories from growing up in Fairport.
    1
  6385. I respectfully submit that all of the various suggestions for "best year" here-- as well as Rick's-- are likely a function of the person's age. Ted Gioia wrote an essay about the high neurological ability of young people to absorb large quantities of new music. I'm a little older than Rick; not surprisingly I think the era of 1972-75 was the golden age. Meanwhile, when I try to get interested in new music these days, usually I'm bored to tears with it in no time.... yet young people are as fanatical about it now as I was towards my own music at that age.
    1
  6386. Thx Rick for the great interview. Can never stop learning. Now on to kidnap Chuck Rainey n interrogate him!
    1
  6387. Rick, this was REALLY cool. Reimagining a new context laid against the classic arrangements that we all know and love is brilliant and really gives the player / subscriber a look at what could’ve been....I’d love to see this kinda thing do e again....I enjoy the content on your channel
    1
  6388. Rick I've been watching your videos for over a year... Just wonderful with plenty of insight everytime... Sometimes your videos make me want to listen to bands I never cared for before!!
    1
  6389. Wow. For 15 mintues there you took me back in time to the 70s and my teen years and enabled me to hear that song as if for the first time. The emotion, power and sensitivity, the air, ambience and warmth, the curiously enticing mysticism. This song has everything - truly one of the greatest songs ever recorded.
    1
  6390. Admit it Rick you need to be "hardworking and productive" to hit the 5M 😀
    1
  6391. I thought that watching this video I would be disappointed, but the reality is that it is one of the most interesting things you have published. The results of the 3 versions are amazing. Thank you for this!
    1
  6392. So 80 percent of his theory goes over my head. Trying to get back into music after 11 years. LOVE his content!!! Rick has gotten me back into guitar and saxophone. Anyone with the book know if it's for an almost intermediate player?
    1
  6393. Everyone is mentioning overlooked guitarists, but Rick said the ones who had success in really big bands. Does Dimebag Darrell even qualify through Pantera? Big band yes, but big enough that he was a household name? In our households, maybe, but to most people? I don't think so. Tremonti, Petrucci, Derek Trucks, Gary Clark, Jr.? Not even close.
    1
  6394. Absolutely the best YouTube channel around. Respect.
    1
  6395. I could not agree more to what you are saying. It´s absolutely one of the best songs ever written. If there is anything to add to your words, in my opinion, it would be Davids outstandingly good guitar sound. It just blows me away!!! BTW, I´ve listened so much to your channel I had to give something back so I am, from today, a member to your Beato Club. A first ever for me to pay someone on YT. Good works pay off they say :-)
    1
  6396. I've never seen such a high like to dislike ratio... Rick Beato is surely overwhelmingly well liked!
    1
  6397. I watched the first half last night and was awake at 3:00 this morning and finished the video. My favourites from past interviews were Al DiMeola, Derek Trucks and Pat Metheny. This interview with Daniel Lanois takes the cake. Thank you so much Rick. Daniel holds nothing back with different techniques he used. Please do an interview with Matteo Mancuso!
    1
  6398. Could you be "obsessed" with the style of video because you are thinking about your future quitting video? Could it be that, notwithstanding you still enjoy uploading videos, you are really ready to quit, and dedicate your time to other things? Like family, surfing, picnics or...backgammon? My favorite videos of yours are not the technical ones. I love your passion and rage for copyright strike-type of content. I love it when you get to a part of a song and you hit the rewind button 16 times :) Thank you for your sensible content.
    1
  6399. Soooo glad to see this interview. His music is beautiful.
    1
  6400. I like you, Rick, I like you a lot and I think your videos are very informative as well as entertaining. I am though, entitled to an opinion whether I am a player or not. I will continue to enjoy your excellent productions even though we may disagree here and there. I appreciate your response. Thank you, Paul.

  6401. Rick Beato is so important to musicians and listeners alike. He teaches theory. He teaches you how to listen more fully to the sounds and compositions. He dismantles songs and puts them back together again. He asks all the right questions to the artists he interviews. He teaches about instruments, equipment and recording techniques. He GIVES these things to the world at no charge. You can offer a donation and/or purchase courses as well. I’m willing to bet the courses are taught at the highest level - and pennies on the dollar in terms of what you’d pay at a similar university for a similar course. But today he played one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite records of all time. Now my headphones are full of Lyle Mays and Bill Evans. September 15 is now a recognized holiday for me.
    1
  6402. Rick you are a great interviewer aside from being a master teacher. You listen to the answers you're given and proceed where it may lead. Another words you don't have a list of prepared questions. If you do you go along with what the person you're interviewing is talking about. We learn so much more that way. TY
    1
  6403. I know there was so much meaning to this video, which was very moving. But, listening to that guitar solo put me in a place where all I heard was music in my head. I needn't it!
    1
  6404. Rick Beato has to be one of the best interviewers out there today. The stories he gets out of his subjects are phenomenal! Would love to see him interview Tony Banks.
    1
  6405. She is indeed amazing. Discovered her (on YouTube) when scouring for different players of The Rach 3. Her rendition is Incendiary and one of my favorites. You too are a wonderful rabbit hole to disappear into Rick (Love the Baby Yoda in the background btw 😉)
    1
  6406. Rhett should design his own distortion pedal. Named Rhatt, for sure
    1
  6407. Amazing! Totally loved this.
    1
  6408. Rick I love your long-form interviews! You ask just a few open-ended questions and let your guests talk and keep us all fascinated! Also, you avoid the sickening "reaction shots" so the viewer doesn't forget the high paid interviewer hack. You switch shots to the person speaking, or to a shot of both. Wonderful, please keep going, there's a million great musicians still to interview 👍
    1
  6409. Rick Beato look, I know that it‘s the most obvious joke of all time so I appreciate the like :). Have a nice day
    1
  6410. Thank you for sharing your personal story. I’m a teacher, and I have taught students with learning disabilities. What you have said is true and multiplied in countless numbers of lives. I will be speaking at an international conference later this year, with your permission, I might add a clip of you to my presentation.
    1
  6411. cool list to bad you cant do this on talking dead ... Congrats on being on that show stay well
    1
  6412. I think that it says so much about you, Rick, that someone of Steve’s caliber and career has massive respect for what you do! He sees in you what followers of your channels see; a fan that has his own history in music and now wants to teach others so they can appreciate great musicianship and why great songs are just that; great songs! Thanks for all you bring to us and do!
    1
  6413. What a pleasure to watch a music interview of this high standard; I'm a massive fan of both of these guys. Rick's channel is always a delight to visit-thank you Rick.
    1
  6414. If you took all of your musical interests and all of the things you're interested in learning about music, you could search for a long time and never come close to what this one channel offers. Rick Beato is a highly capable giant in the music industry.
    1
  6415. God dam. I didn’t expect to feel this good today but here is a Gordon Lightfoot, what makes this song great.
    1
  6416. I generally avoid Interviews as the Interviewer often lacks the knowledge necessary to ask insightful questions. This was certainly different, which was expected from seeing Mr. Beato's past efforts.
    1
  6417. Rick, you healed my wound...
    1
  6418. Dude, I'm just a guy @ SonyATV Nashville,....I need a proper shoutout...... ; )
    1
  6419. Again…. These folks would never open up to a layman. Koodos and this proves you need to know your back story before your front story so to speak. Amazing man and orator. Great job Rick!!!!! As always JD
    1
  6420. I had the pleasure of being a part of the live streams with Aunt Penny. These were special nights where we all felt like an extended part of your family. Thanks for accepting us all into your wonderful family, Rick. Much Love to you, and so sorry for this great loss.
    1
  6421. What makes this "WOHHOOO" great? You rock Rick! \o

  6422. Your Interview Lounge looks the part. Good job.

  6423. I talk about this all the time. Thank You for another great video. Love
    1
  6424. Brilliant. Next: Rick’s tiny home concerts :)). Next next: Rick’s home impromptu collab concerts. Just sayin’.
    1
  6425. Rick, I would have to agree with several folks below about how great this interview was. You could see for whatever reason that Billy's body language looked quite a bit apprehensive and guarded in the beginning. Once you started talking about his influences and bringing up similar bands that he listened to you could see not only his body language but his personality open up and really by the end look like to old friends just catching up. I think he gets what your doing on your channel and he respects what your doing on your channel. Love that he said he watches your videos on the song breakdowns and learns new things. That has to make you feel proud of the work you put in. Love the channel when you were only at 300K subscribers when I first found your channel and I love it more now because your interviews are great along with all your other material.
    1
  6426. Fantastic interview with a legend! Mr. Beato is one of the most humble and skilled interviewers out there!
    1
  6427. Gotta say it, the most enjoyable sit down and talk video that I can remember and one I'll come back to quickly. Love watching the bright lights of Chris' remembrances. His super quick mind, gentlemanly nature, and barely-controlled enthusiasm for any topic Rick brought up makes him a guest I just have listen to again. God bless BOTH of fine guys. Tailwinds (as I wish for my cycling companions) towards all the happy recollections yet to be made.

  6428. Whoever does your video production is fucking amazing.

  6429. Watch josh meader transcription of happy birthday is sickkkkk

  6430. Actually I prefer David Gilmour's guitar playing to this guy.
    1
  6431. I was going to read all the amazing comments by people who's lives have been changed by David's playing over the years, but then I realised that there are over 4K of them in 7 hours, and 267K views with 34K+1 likes. Well done Rick. You aced it with this interview!
    1
  6432. You are a living, working, studying, teaching, hero to so many Rick. To people you will never meet, but continue to inspire and teach through the gifts and passions you discovered along the way. Thank you for your commitment to all you do.. Professor Beato🙏
    1
  6433. I learn so much about life and not just about music from watching all your videos and buying your bundles! Thank You So Much!
    1
  6434. Having played piano for 60 years in three countries, I can tell you I know of no musician alive who can keep up with her. The final 5 measures of Tchaikovsky's piano Concerto No. 1 has a run of 16th notes played in octaves with both hands. She plays it effortlessly and at full speed. As a matter of fact, I think she performs the whole piece at a faster tempo than anybody else I can think of. To answer your question, Rick, how Is this even possible? I don't have a clue.
    1
  6435. What a treat. Such a reminder that there are still people out there who value knowledge and experience. Also just refreshing to know people are still making sense in this mad world. Thank you Rick! LOVE BRAD
    1
  6436. C'mon Rick. Rhetorical questioning. 9 people to come up with....the best BS to make money! Sadly nuthin to do with true artistry. That said, glad to follow you and your efforts of keepin the flame lit man! Yeah all that. :)
    1
  6437. Rick, your appreciation for jazz is only surpassed by your appreciation for rock which, of course, is only surpassed by your appreciation for jazz. A delight to behold.
    1
  6438. I disagree in what is the climax of the song. It’s the #11 in the D chord the second time the strings rise in the last 2 choruses. All the while the fingerpicking is super fast. But everything in this recording made a huge impact on me, including the guitar fills. Thank you for an amazing share of a superb piece of folk/pop.

  6440. The logistics it must take to get these icons into your studio is mind boggling. Just with their schedules alone, taking the time to come in.... I'm so grateful for these wonderful interviews, Rick! So interesting to hear their life stories and how they came up learning their instruments....

  6445. me before: Hardest video? Oh dude.. don't fall into Youtuber clickbait habits. (clicks) Me after watching: (tears) I miss Aunt Penny and I never even met her. She looked so delightful in these videos. Thank you for sharing and my sympathy to you and your family.

  6446. Rick, I am always watching your channel, I'm a big fan! This video was so heartwarming, it brought a tear to my eyes, because you diagnosed the one greatest problem in the educational system, which is two fold, 1. Many teachers don't know how to engage with each and every student and teach in variables, to the understanding of each student. 2. Class sizes and time constraints, classes have become too cumbersome to address "efficiency." My argument is, what is efficiency sans effectiveness!? Sadly, our American educational system is unlikely to make these adjustments, due to many more factors and obstacles than can be named here, but the best we can do, is strive as parents and as communities to see the children as individuals and seek out the best means possible for their comprehension and education. I can tell, the painstakingly passionate approach you take in each and every one of your videos, it's self evident! You "care" about your viewers and don't take them for granted and you truly "teach." Thank you so much for what you do, Rick! I hope that you take pride in your efforts and know you're greatly admired and appreciated! Thank you for your platforms! Thank you, Sir!!! ❤👍😉
    1
  6447. PS. My sister is a devoted fan of yours too. A short, funny story... one day, some time ago, she and I were having a casual conversation and we got to talking about the internet, social media and YouTube. She began describing you and your channels, specifically your YouTube and Instagram channels, and she was trying to peak my interest to "check them out!" I proceeded to address you by name, I said, "You mean, Rick Beato?" She said, "Yes, that's it!" She said, "I just love his videos!" I said, "Yes, I agree. They're so well done and so educational, entertaining and informative!" I didn't even need to convert her, she was already your devoted fan! Thanks again, Rick! ❤👍😉

  6449. Holy Smokes Steve. What an intro to a video…it may well be 1:40am here UK side, but it seems the next hour and 8 mins are sorted - and it ain’t gunna be sleeping haha! Rick Beato. As ever, just THANK YOU so very much! - Sam.

  6450. You are an incredible interviewer. You always ask amazing questions and always let your guests talk and give them their space. You are patient and a great listener. Guess it helps also because you are a great musician yourself. Love your show@RickBeato

  6451. Hey Rick! Marques Brownlee just posted a video on this topic you might find interesting. Just a heads up! Also, I've got a video idea for you as well, can I send you an email or direct message?

  6463. If kids had a music teacher like Rick in school, the music that is popular would change for the better. Not only is he passionate and technically skilled, he can describe it, put the feeling of the music in to words and draw you in to vibing with him. Kids don't need to learn the "classics" and orchestra to understand and appreciate quality music. Music is supposed to move your soul. Being shown how to appreciate the feeling of music, what it means to "get" it would maybe make these kids see how flat, soul less and empty the majority of popular music is... Across ALL genres these day. Rock, pop, rap, country is all free of any of what should drive music.

  6466. amazing interview ever since you did that episode on Bach I’ve been a huge follower !!!

  6467. Thanks for this story Rick - some of my favorite videos of yours are those that focus on when things didn’t go the way you thought they would. I admire what you’ve done, and what you do, and I’ve come to realize that behind a tremendous amount of success stories (including my own) is a mom who sacrificed more than we think was even possible. Wonderful story.

  6468. Hi Rick, agree with everything you say! I've had perfect pitch all my life, and also very good relative pitch (that random interval test was brutal though!), but now in my later fifties, I find it's pretty much gone; not quite sure when, as I'm a composer rather than performer, but I'll write down an idea, then check it on a keyboard and find out I'm hearing it in a totally different key to the one I've notated! Actually, I've always had slightly flat perfect pitch, by a few cents (I checked it on a school oscilloscope by whistling a "perfect" A into it as a teenager!). Min was also slightly strange in that I was aware of the cycle of 5ths, and "sharpness" and "flatness" of key centres, which meant that I was more likely to be a perfect fourth or fifth out (e.g. E to A) than a semitone on (e.g. E to Eb) One reason that you might have been able to tune the guitar perfectly (though it was probably luck!) could have been that you are used to the sound of the open strings and their harmonic content. As strings get tighter, and closer to breaking point, the overtones vibrate more freely, giving richer higher harmonic content and you could be recognizing the sound of a string at a certain tension, rather than the pitch as such. As such, upper frequency hearing loss may confuse the brain in later years. But I'm sure that lots of people do have pitch memory, so that you can feel when a long piece finally returns to its starting pitch, or the long-term pitch relationships that are sometimes present in the span of an entire film, where the hero or heroine literally ends up in a different place to where they started, in terms of emotional or experiential knowledge and in terms of key centre; and that chase sequences often flit through many keys very quickly and either end up where they started, or in a different place - and we can subconsciously know which is which. tl:dr - great video Rick, yes I've lost perfect pitch in my fifties!

  6471. Such a great, great episode Rick! Ted is always fascinating and again, he didn't disappoint! Your new layout of your studio looks great too. Very balanced in the various shots.
    1
  6472. Fantastic video Rick. And talk about a pandemic!! This is everywhere, when unrecognized can lead some of us down wrong paths in life, or at least very long ones. Is also a hidden problem in some highly intelligent people, who can power over attention/learning deficits through sheer intelligence until the demands of life become overwhelming, or when assigned tasks where the gaps become painfully obvious. "Oh you can't possibly have that problem, you're too smart..." Believe me you can...undiagnosed here until well into my 50s

  6476. Rick, you’re at the top of the heap, brother! So gratifying watching your channel take off over the last few years! As another commenter said, interviewing David Gilmour is a crowning achievement. I ask anybody who reads this comment to subscribe to BOTH of Rick’s channels. Rick 1 and Rick 2. This dude has busted his ass for 4 decades in the music world, and has become the most respected interviewer of musicians in the world because he’s a damn good musician as well as being a down to earth guy who has earned the respect of the best.

  6477. its a gift we have these interviews. so much musical history was never captured. incredible work mr. beato these will still be looked back on 100 years from now.

  6478. Loved the "Service Tags" comments about Neil.............as an equipment tech (scanning microscopes and large commercial/utility solar systems) having the accurate info is like finding the diary of your sick patient. Priceless. This whole interview is priceless Rick, I haven't enjoyed anything like this in months. Thank you so much.
    1
  6479. WOW - that was some playing. I'm not sure what else to say - that was phenomenal. At the time of writing, there are 248 dislikes. Why? You don't have to like jazz or RB to appreciate the playing of Oscar Peterson.
    1
  6480. @Rick - only recently subscribed to your channel & so feel as though I'm still getting to "know you". As I watched this, it became clear that it is a wonderful & heartfelt tribute by you to your Aunt Penny & it's very clear how much she meant to you. Sometimes the hardest things that we have to do are some of the best things that we ever do & I think that this is right "up there" in that category. My sincere condolences on your loss

  6487. Wow. This is a video that needs to be seen way outside of the music community....but i dont kno how to make Google realize this fact....
    1
  6488. Any chance we can get a breakdown of a song by The Verve? Maybe Bittersweet Symphony or Lucky Man?
    1
  6489. Rick, I'm a professional classical pianist and got to know your channel because of your video about Argerich. Since then, I started to check your videos and I'm in love with this series(What makes this song great). This is the kind of analysis I'm recommending to all my students. To help them find color in music. And I hope you continue to illuminate the pop world. And maybe do some videos about some classical rep too! Great job!
    1
  6490. Don't know if you always put tabs up like that while playing, but wow this is great content. Just became favorite channel after a few weeks of viewing. Nice work!
    1
  6491. Love your channel, Rick. Most of your videos I watch once. I return to this one periodically. Great stuff!
    1
  6492. That was beautiful. Not just the music, but the very clear love between the two of you. I'm happy for you for having someone so wonderful in your life and sorry that you had to say goodbye. "We all have to bark sometimes" - I'm using that one. Peace to you and your family my friend.
    1
  6493. This is the pinnacle: The ultimate Beato video, the ultimate Metheny interview.
    1
  6494. And I like Adam Neely! Whom I found watching Rick Beato. More then just FBG’s to make the world go around
    1
  6495. When you mentioned the 21- or 22-foot long jump some time back, my first thought as a former track type is that this is a good enough mark to get a D1 scholarship even today, let alone 40 years ago. I had wondered if you had gone on to compete in college. Interesting that at one juncture, your legs served as an unintentional gateway to being able to make exquisite use of your arms, hands and fingers.
    1
  6496. "I'm new, here's where I'm staying, and he's not playing the right changes." 😂😂😂
    1
  6497. MATE!!!!! Not usual for me to comment on videos, but had too for this. Brilliant stuff fella. More like this please.
    1
  6498. THIS is what YouTube is for!
    1
  6499. As a dedicated Methenyphile this interview absolutely nailed it. Well done, Rick.
    1
  6500. "It's high dollar .. it's easier to not screw up." Wow, just respect. How was that lesson learned? 😅
    1
  6501. I would gladly watch a Lord of the Rings hours long movie of just Rick ranting about stuff.
    1
  6502. Awesome video Rick! I'm not a fan of Karnivool but this has been very interesting. I'm buying the damn book... ;)
    1
  6503. When I first saw 2 plus hours vid, I thought no way I’m watching this whole thing, but I looked up and it was done. Wow! Great vid Rick. What a zen dude and such a wealth of knowledge. Who’s next Rick? Keep these types of vid coming. Love them🤘
    1
  6504. so awesome! I love seeing Rick moved by the heart in the music... The combination of emotion and technicality is so powerful! It's not in your face technicality like Dream Theater or Periphery, it's more understated... few even perceive the technical genius of the song because it's so perfect.... in steps Beato to help us all see it! I've seen U2 live twice, and both times the whole night feels like this song makes you feel. There's a sincerity and a love in the atmosphere when they play that disarms everyone in the crowd, no matter how large that crowd may be. You must see them if you haven't; they're a gift. Thanks for this Rick!
    1
  6505. It'll be a sad day for music lovers everywhere, in the year 2031 (waited to comment till video was over... this time)
    1
  6506. Total hyperbole!!!!🤣. Love you man !
    1
  6507. Thanks for this Rick. From a dad who has a son struggling with a learning disability, your take is pure gold!!
    1
  6508. Love that Abasi finish, dayumn 🔥🤘🏻
    1
  6509. And thank you Rick for honoring Michael Brecker this way
    1
  6510. Honestly, it didn’t even seem like an interview. It just seemed like two friends conversing
    1
  6511. Bring Me the Horizon = Bring Me the Compression
    1
  6512. I’m not sure I’ve seen anyone on You Tube that is as obsessed with music and it’s musicians as Rick. So refreshing to witness that unbridled passion for the greatest gift of all. Music!
    1
  6513. That is definitely close! Have you considered trying to match that Brendan O’Brien snare sound? It is amazing and you’ve given it props in other videos. That snare on the Dogman album by King’s X is incredible.
    1
  6514. Thank you for sharing. My condolences. Now, if I can just figure out what I'm barking for...
    1
  6515. I watch YouTube on my TV so there is no way for me to comment, but I had to jump on my pc just to write one ! Rick, this video...I don't even know what to say. So, damn, good ! Thank you, and keep it coming !!! donation comming in moments ! Wow !
    1
  6516. Thanks Rick. I cried too. My wife passed away Dec 2018 and Joni was her favorite. You brought back a flood of memories.
    1
  6517. ...I already sensed that you were/are a good human being............I'm not disappointed.............
    1
  6518. Rick, we don't care. We love seeing you talk about things you love and sharing your vast knowledge in music. Honestly; you can do whatever you want buddy, we'll still watch!
    1
  6519. So happy to see you making a video on my favorite pianist of all time! :)
    1
  6520. Rick I watch a ton of your videos because they are so informative and well done but I have never commented, but this was just smashing it out of the park - a moonshot in baseball terms. Brilliant, all three of you, amazing viewing.
    1
  6521. Do you think non-musicians or "casual music listeners" can appreciate complex music like this in the same way that musicians can? This made me remember a quote from Noel Gallagher (not that I necessarily agree with it) that (paraphrasing it) jazz is more fun for the musicians than the audience. But that begs the question, who's the audience?
    1
  6522. This was just great, Rick. Thanks from a non-musician. You probably have a lot of mesmerized subs like me.
    1
  6523. Rick, this is the 4th or 5th time I've heard you tell this story and it just tickles me. It's kinda like George Harrison said, if you don’t know where you're going, any road can take you there...right on!
    1
  6524. Rick, you are a real mensch! What a heartfelt tribute.
    1
  6525. That is just cool. I really like Bonamassa and this just solidifies that. Congratulations Rick! That is fantastic!
    1
  6526. Amazing interview - this is the best interview with Tony ever. Such an amazing talent and truly nice guy.
    1
  6527. Fantastic and fun video Rick! The Air Supply reference in the Marshmallow song is obvious now! Love seeing your mind peel these apart. And enjoyed the songs, most of which I didn’t know before.
    1
  6528. While I often disagree with your takes on modern (post 2010) music, I’m so thankful that you were able to speak to power about this. Loved the suit!
    1
  6529. Thank you Rick!
    1
  6530. The pandemic has gifted me membership of the University of Rick Beato. Rick's an incredible servant to art and humanity.
    1
  6531. Mind blown, Rick. Mahalo. New horizons to explore.
    1
  6532. I think some of the you-missed-this-one comments don't really point to a particular sound in any song that stuck out as iconic. This is not to say that the ones Rick lists are better than the ones he didn't list, but that they had something extra distinctive that's difficult to capture without some innovation here and there. He also seems to be trying to cover different decades and styles.
    1
  6533. Rick I'm disappointed. When you were using the keyboard to start the D minor for "Nervous", you missed a golden opportunity to point out that D minor is the saddest key of all!
    1
  6534. Love this!
    1
  6535. Lol, click bait at its best.
    1
  6536. Rick: Because you now know the following: 1- We think this posting is priceless, and one of the funniest musical rants we’ve ever heard. And…. 2- You aren’t crazy, and you make total sense. And…. 3- Your family didn’t understand your question the way a musician would, so they’re not crazy either. …and because I’m around your age, and usually connect with your perspectives, I want to ask you this: Isn’t the truly crazy thing here that within 24 hours of you sharing a comical observation, more than 21,000 people heard it, and more than 14,000 people responded with feedback? Did you ever in your life imagine something like this? That’s what I call crazy. But I’m probably whistling in the wind, because how could I reasonably expect you (or any mere mortal) to keep up and read this, comment number 14,743?
    1
  6537. Good morning Rick. Because of your adoration for the likes of Rush, Joni Mitchell, Gordon Lightfoot and Oscar Peterson you just might earn yourself an Order of Canada. ;-)
    1
  6538. It's like listening to ObiWan....you're just missing your Light Saber. Always, and I mean always, a pleasure to hear your views Rick.
    1
  6539. When I watch these interviews I find myself getting drawn in to what is going on, Rick asking the questions that he ask, slowly getting the person who is being interviewed to begin to relax and open up and I think that they realize that Rick is legit. Rick thank you for what you do for the common fan that may never have the chance to ask the questions that we would love to ask an artist ourselves. Be Blessed!!!
    1
  6540. There is so much music available now....good music...from today, from the past. It's great. We have CD's, MP3's, records, streaming. Tons and tons of access to great music, classical, jazz, rock, pop, everything in between.
    1
  6541. This is why we subscribe and watch. Just love it
    1
  6542. Saw you at MSG Sunday for Gilmore. Great show!
    1
  6543. Im back, listening in again 3rd time, and i got to thinking, the work that goes into this channel, it must be remembered the initial work that Ricky's mother worked to the get the first guitar.
    1
  6544. If you are serious about music, there is no better place to plant your flag. Above all, Rick understands the business and he's able to clearly explain both the creative and the productive elements of the process. However, his real strength lies in his ability to relate to folks who are not insiders, but to regular Joe's like...well...me.
    1
  6545. If only our world leaders had this level of EQ, IQ, humility and passion displayed by Rick and Joe, wouldn't the world be a better place! thanks Rick-thanks Joe!
    1
  6546. I don’t think there’s a word invented yet to accurately describe what I just saw. Absolutely mind boggling insane amount of talent on that stage. Thank you, Rick for bringing that to the masses. Absolutely my favorite video to date form you. Wow!!
    1
  6547. Yeah pretty much all my students too lol when I had students. I don’t teach anymore because it’s babysitting. Social media is a double edged sword. I think the problem is people who were born before the internet know what Rick is talking about. Now, we get to utilize the benefits of internet and social media while still having the ability to unplug from it and go practice. Kids born after the internet don’t have the perspective of a pre-internet social media world.
    1
  6548. Had to pause and rewind at 5:17. Rick, you are doing the Joe Pass thing and it doesn't get more fun than that. Merry Christmas, Your friend.
    1
  6549. This finally spurred me to buy the Beato Book! Great interview
    1
  6550. Done. Love what you do. Got your book. Great stuff for musicians.
    1
  6551. I never thought that it was possible to like you more, Rick!!! I stand corrected... Best wishes from London, Evangelos
    1
  6552. Rick, honestly you never fail to amaze me with how you're able to turn a song breakdown into a trip down the memory lane, with personal stories, pieces of people's biography, emotions. I can always see how it really comes from your heart. P.S. and on a side note, man do your guitars always look perfect and shiny:) Do you polish them before each shoot?:)
    1
  6553. Only Rick could do this interview, he is the master.
    1
  6554. Some seriously good life advice in this video. mad respect!
    1
  6555. This episode was a driveway moment for me. I didn’t get out of car until it finished.
    1
  6556. "They inherently feel...this darkness of Seattle". Man, I'm looking forward to seeing you Saturday, Rick!
    1
  6557. Ok. I didn't have RATT on my Rick Beato bingo card. Love it.
    1
  6558. Moose! What a little baby
    1
  6559. Anything Crimson = copywrite issues
    1
  6560. One of your best ones, Rick. Thanks, ton of great things pulled out in this one. As to the intensity of the singing in the chorus I totally agree, but Lane Staley on Man in the Box is super crazy. Listen to that really loud. Superhuman... not taking anything away from your argument and I know you already did MitB.
    1
  6561. I thought I had learned this song last year for my band but Rick taught me so much more that I'd missed. Fuck I love these videos. Guess I'm buying more Beato mugs...
    1
  6562. My God, Rick!!! You should see the huge grin on my face, listening to these two GIANTS playing "Happy Birthday' to you (I swear you are THE luckiest man on earth) but as heavenly as they're playing, I still prefer you accompanying them on the guitar! I can't help it; I just love the sound of the guitar 😁🎶 And yes; the thought that ran through my mind while listening to them play was, "Man! How are they doing that with no drums or anything to keep time??". SO in the pocket!💖
    1
  6563. You, Rick, maintain what's got to be the most agreeable YouTube channel. What's being produced is never about an individual 'having-things', rather is about common shared-experience. ...and, you're excellent at it! I don't say this as a Musician; I'm familiar with fretted instruments but just never was able to have my guitar talk to Springsteen's guitar which after a while had me feeling foolish... seriously though you and your channel are very well rooted in having what matters within Music keep its relevance. Kudos to you & your other creators too.
    1
  6564. The deepest interview with Pat I've seen.
    1
  6565. Every time Phill X would come into your studio I could hear the floor squeak, I just thought he was a big guy wearing loud boots.
    1
  6566. Also the flex with the guitars we're all drooling over did not go unnoticed 🤪
    1
  6567. Congrats on the 3M subs!
    1
  6568. There’s that Italiano heat I’m talking about! Great rant Rick. Couldn’t agree more. What a jabroni!
    1
  6569. That’s the first solo he learned? Riiiiiiiigggghhht.
    1
  6570. Okay, after learning this stuff myself over the past few years I decided I just need some discipline to retain the knowledge. In short - I bought the Beato Book!
    1
  6571. Rick, Rick, Rick....I enjoy your videos generally speaking, so much. I am a subscriber for a year or so now. Lately I have sensed a drifting away from your greatest attribute. Anger at the Tube, at this or that, whatever, is not your strong suit my dude. Infectious, unadulterated joy for music OF ALL TYPES.... there can be found the Beato super power. I am a jazz/rock guitarist who married into a classical music family 43 years ago. Argerich is no stranger to my house. However that is secondary to me at the moment, because this video got me all hopped up over your presentation again. Smiling from ear to ear just as you were in the vid. Thanks from a real fan of yours.
    1
  6572. Thank you so much for this video Rick, really touching. Your candour and sensitivity mark you out as such a kind and sensitive human being; as if we didn't know that already; truly a rare thing. Kudos, respect and love to Johnny. And that solo - absolutely floored me! Combining Bach influenced lines, WAY more clever and imaginative than most people, with soaring rock feel in a way I've never encountered before. Fabulous. (Amongst other things I'm a classical organist and play some of the big Bach pieces...)
    1
  6573. This was a brilliant choice of guest for your first podcast. Also, I love your table is a giant cutting board on top of two 4x12 cabinets.
    1
  6574. Rick is the best interviewer in the music business.
    1
  6575. Concise, clear, coherent. You should be on TV, NPR, wherever else. People need to hear this and you've done it so well.
    1
  6576. Doing GREAT work Rick. 🙏
    1
  6577. Love your channel however, the youtube ads are now happening so often as to make it unwatchable.
    1
  6578. HANDS DOWN the best interviewer in the music biz. Such great questions
    1
  6579. Thank you for this video. Hands down my favourite one. This links to my father and all the great music of his youth.
    1
  6580. PF graciously played on a Lifehouse track for us. Came with his full setup and it was like watching him at the forum in that control room. When he finished, he wouldn't take a dime for the session but requested that we give it to charity, which we most certainly did. Class act from beginning to now. Great video Rick, great 100th choice.
    1
  6581. Rick, I seriously believe you’re as good an interviewer as you are a musician, partly because you ARE a musician and can ask the questions that a layman wouldn’t know. Really great vid.
    1
  6582. LOL 😂 I teach video game design and development and the same is true here. I cannot get students to work on anything outside of assignments.
    1
  6583. I've been watching you for so long and had no idea you were from Fairport. I actually live here in Fairport.
    1
  6584. A day ago The Greatest Pianist of XX century has passed. The Genius Nelson Freire, go in peace, genius
    1
  6585. Honestly Rick, if all you uploaded from now on was reviews of sick players on various instruments, and the review exclusively consisted of you going "WOOO!" and air-playing, I wouldn't complain!
    1
  6586. The EnormoDome! Awesome Spinal Tap reference
    1
  6587. I was an okay synthesist selling keyboards in Toronto and Oscar Peterson strolled in, introduced himself, shook my hand, and wanted a demonstration on a rack-mount piano. He was gracious, I was nervous, and all went well. Great memory of meeting a great man.
    1
  6588. Rick, If I could have you change one thing in your delivery of these videos, it would be a lack of a summary at the end. I often hear. "that's all for now," and I'm like, "what?....it's done?" I am not prepared for the video to end. I am always a little disappointed, when that happens. I know of the concept of "leave them wanting more," and I get it, but trust me, even with a summary, we will still want more.
    1
  6589. Next week: Now Let's analyze Shine on You Crazy Diamond with my good friends David Gilmour, Nick Mason and Roger Waters. Week after: I want to talk about Stairway to Heaven with Robert Plant, John Paul Jones and my good friend Jimmy Page. Would not surprise me after this one.
    1
  6590. An interview for the ages…
    1
  6591. Peter sounds like a cool cat, looking forward to meeting him through The Beato Channel
    1
  6592. Good luck with the live shows. You make music even more interesting. A true music lover.
    1
  6593. Best music channel on YouTube
    1
  6594. Truly a testament to your life’s work and dedication to your art! 👍 Bravo 👏 Rick! Well deserved. 🎼🎤💪
    1
  6595. When I watch other interview programs, now all I see is an interviewer always setting up for a one liner, a set piece and the entertainer trying to do a turn. This more conversational style is fantastic by comparison, even though there's still a product to flog. As for the Gilmour Effect, maybe there was also a Keith Jarrett effect - if he was talking to you then anything is possible and also signalled some sort of integrity to other artists.
    1
  6596. Rick is a natural teacher and clearly a multi-talented musician and producer. — and in the best sense of the word, a real mensch. I too have had multiple careers or like Rick, different aspects of one career. I always enjoy and learn something from his intelligent and heartfelt commentaries. Keep up the good work, Rick.
    1
  6597. Sorry for the length of this comment, but that's how it is. When I was in school, I had the pleasure of taking a jazz history course with the late, great Joe Beck. Joe was Miles' FIRST guitar player...pre John McLaughlin. They recorded Circle in the Round, but Miles was worried having guitar in his music wouldn't be well received. After Bitches Brew was successful, he changed his tune. Anyway, I had to do a paper, so I originally chose to do it on Jaco. Joe didn't want me to. He knew Jaco personally, and not fondly. He consented that at the time, nobody knew what bipolar disorder was or things would have been different. Joe was on the train in Japan with Jaco when he so famously got kicked off. So I did my paper on Miles instead. But I still read the Jaco book. I was fascinated. But I was also really saddened to read Will Lee's excerpt. He said he first hear Jaco at the University of Miami and was not a fan of his playing. He bitterly said, "I heard a lot of notes, but I didn't hear a lot of bass." Shame, really. But Jaco WAS the bar setter. Still is, really. The greatest still laud him the greatest. Except Will Lee. Too many notes for that one.

  6598. Your mom gave us you...so we too, love your mom.

  6599. Sure, we all sing little songs to our pets. But we don't all sing Joni Mitchell songs to our pets.
    1
  6600. Rick is by far my favorite content creator. It is insanity that I can get this information for free on the internet. Rick you are a god.
    1
  6601. Beautiful story. The whole thing. Beautiful song. Very touched by your mother recognizing your love for music, and guitar. And then, giving you the instrument that you wanted...one weeks salary.
    1
  6602. Keep explaining them Rick; and we'll be listening in amazement. No bullshit..thank you..j
    1
  6603. When someone is sweating like that, you gotta know it's real music <3
    1
  6604. This is so far the best guitar YouTube video I’ve ever seen
    1
  6605. @Rick Some rate your 'Comfortably Numb' video as their favourite. I rate this one!
    1
  6606. Once you start listening to these interviews you get sucked into this vortex of information and personality, it doesn’t matter who is talking. At the end you are left “hanging” for a few seconds feeling you are a little closer to knowing what you don’t know….
    1
  6607. I mean, how long can you listen to that progression? I guess about 3:30 😂😂
    1
  6608. 102 episodes in, just as insightful as ever, and the production value has only gone up over the years. Thank you, Rick.
    1
  6609. Feng Shui
    1
  6610. I have a left handed friend who plays guitar the right way around, but he plays drums left handed. So normal right handed guitar, but mirrored drum kit. Noen Gallagher is left handed but plays guitar right handed. I believe he said it's the only thing his right hand is good for😄
    1
  6611. I am not a musician, but I love music! And I love your enthusiasm! Great videos you make Rick! Greetings from Germany! Rudi

  6612. Holdsworth is a neighbor. we drink together frequently. Will have him watch the next time we meet.

  6613. Periphery’s Icarus lives on a Tosin Abasi guitar with Pilini plug-in ! Awesome !
    1
  6614. Wow, Though grew up in Rochester a year behind Rick (playing with Ned Corman over in Penfield and summer camps at Eastman) I've taken a very different path. Remember playing RTF over and over... Well, not sure what to say except Wow!!! What an amazing interview. As many have commented, a hearty thankyou Professor Beato.
    1
  6615. Omg Rick you rock at 59 and you’ll slay it at 99… great music is great music… whether Joni, Soundgarden or Tool - it’s all about authenticity - like you!
    1
  6616. Danke!
    1
  6617. I can't WAIT to see this, Rick. It's gonna be VERY cool.
    1
  6618. An interviewer that is respected by the person they are interviewing is what makes an interview great....rick you have found your calling...there is no one else that I would rather interview my favourite artists, any artist for that matter, than you....thankyou.
    1
  6619. Increible esta entrevista!!! lo maximo..saludos desde Ecuador!!! un abrazo grande Rick!!!
    1
  6620. Just wanted to point out the air Rick got doing that jump on stage with Billionaire. I was known (sorta) for my jumping around and could never come close to that height. Magnificent.
    1
  6621. Each time one of these interviews pop up I think, "Jesus - an hour and 6 minutes. Why so long?" Then I watch and enjoy every second. Incredible work...
    1
  6622. How the Fuck can anybody give this a thumbs down???? AWESOME WORK!!!!
    1
  6623. What??? A record label actually listened to somebody?????
    1
  6624. drop d in front of 2 full stacks. its how life should be.

  6625. This is the best content, ricks laugh 😂 😂😂
    1
  6626. That was an awesome solo. You need to do a live show with just your picks. Edit : OMG Rick, I'm so sorry. I made the above comment before watching the rest of the video. My deepest condolences on your friend. I know how hard it is because I've battled depression for many years.
    1
  6627. My favorite subscribed channel

  6628. I wasnt going to watch this video because I'm stubborn and I believe I know what strings are good for me but comon it's Rick Beato how could I not?
    1
  6629. I have been lurking but deeply enjoying. This was a great session! Thank you
    1
  6630. I would love to listen to an xm radio station named RICK BEATO RADIO! I'd never change the channel!
    1
  6631. Katy Perry is the new Ed Sherran. But, at least her team knew to do the right thing by approaching the original artists
    1
  6632. Rick, have you considered hosting a session (same format) in Atlanta? We locals would love to support you here!
    1
  6633. Wow!!! Rick you’ve really done it now. Just watched an hour of Martha on U Tube. style, attitude and elegance in one.What an amazing woman of our time. Diving back into the hole now 🎹🎼🎶see ya soon 😁
    1
  6634. The most beautiful video on Youtube. Thank you. She is a gem.

  6635. Rick, you need to start your videos with a 1 or 2 second delay. Youtube now crops the beginning and we can't hear the first words you say
    1
  6636. What a great content... Rick is truly one of the most expert in music. He can talk in details about classical music, jazz, rock, pop, prog. Crazy!

  6637. Hi Rick, what a heartful and honest and honorful farewell to a friend. You have not only shown what a true person you are, you have shown, that we are all the same, no matter where on this world we live, no matter what race, religion, social background, .... we are. We all share that pain, when a beloved one passes and we all can feel what you feel, if we just have our hearts at the right spot as we say in Germany. So bless you, bless Robs family and be aware, that so many aroun d this planet are with you. Heartful regards from Munich

  6643. Rick, I have been watching many of your videos over the last year after I found you. I am a noodler as I don't have any understanding of music theory or scales for the most part. I just watched this video of your dedication to Peter Smart, two times actually. I subscribed immediately after watching this. You sir, are an inspiration to this 57 yr old guitar owner "player". I choked up watching this. I lost the love of my life on June 6 2020. It was then, and still is an indescribeable loss. I feel your pain and sense of loss. Thank you for your honesty and "realness". I hope to dedicate myself to learning more about the guitar this winter as it was the only thing my wife asked me to do in her final days. I will be watching your channel even more now. Thank you for all you do for all of us and the friend you were to Peter. --John W. in Michigan

  6644. It's stuff like this, that only YOU do! (as far I know of) They (the artists and industry) should be paying you for the exposure! We'll keep supporting, PLEASE keep doing you man! Cheers!!!

  6645. My condolences Rick, I just lost my uncle to Leukemia a month ago so I know your loss. Keep your head up and try to remember the good times.

  6646. Can't help but love this! Rick has, by far, the best content on YouTube.

  6647. RIck is Noah filling up his arc before the ravages of time effectively hide from everyone eyes and ears how musicians create, compose, work, play, think

  6648. These videos are so genuine and real. Very endearing stuff.

  6652. Rick you're the man. You've introduced me and alot of your viewers here to some wonderful masterpieces which we would have never listened to by ourselves. And the songs gets much more interesting with your demonstrations and minute guidance. And thank you for clearly highlighting the spaces. I just discovered as a nominal guitar player myself how scared I am of spaces. It's probably because I'm insecure of people getting bored or think that I'm more of a terrible player than I actually am. Your insights and breakdowns are more than any music teacher inside a classroom can ever impart to us.

  6653. Those song snippets sound great! I'd love to hear more

  6659. This video and the Adam Franklin Swervedriver video are my two favorite surprises from Rick 🙌
    1
  6660. Hello American, Scotland here 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 I’m not sure how it works over there but surely there must be some official recognition of Rick’s valuable work in documenting all this incredible music, the people who play it and their stories. Y’all have a great history of people documenting your culture: Alan Lomax, Ken Burns etc. Surely any government of the people, by the people worthy of the name would create a permanent record of these incredible shows and award Rick some title in recognition of his fantastic work. I give you His Grace, Vicount Beato, Fourth Earl Of Rochester, Keeper Of The Golden Clef. Rick: you rock 🤟

  6661. First 10 minutes and he name checks Hendricks, Zappa, Beck, Bloomfield, Brown, and .... Segovia.

  6662. Rick forgot to say he's got one more huge virtue: his empathy. That's the right but rare tool to suceed in what he's done for the last 8 years or so. It is a weapon that doest't fade - in fact it grows as time passes. And now everybody sees that. That's the reason his interviews are the best, hors concours, miles ahead of everyone else: his guests feel the truth beneath the person. The number of followers will keep growing, because people wants to "visit" someone with this empathy, it gives a "warm heart" feeling.
    1
  6663. Thank you, I tried some of those and now my hand is dislocated. /s
    1
  6664. Hang on, amid all the superlatives about the solo, can we just pause to mention the hair for a minute. Holy crap, I thought Rick had a fantastic mane - then I saw his Dad's! That's some genes right there.
    1
  6665. Just wanted to say that your interviews are so interesting and compelling that it does not matter how long the interview is it keeps you watching the whole thing in one compelling and very interesting time without pausing. This all has to do with you, Rick, as you know how to ask all the insider style technical questions that no other interviewer asks that make your interviews phenomenal.
    1
  6666. Dig all of your vids, man. It's nice to see someone that is just a fan of music in general with knowledge to go along with that. I can count on two hands the channels I'm subscribed to "All", and this is one of those.
    1
  6667. I despise Billy Corgan for his outsized ego, but I love Rick Beato, and if Rick's going to give Billy credence, then I must humbly listen.
    1
  6668. I'm not a musician. I have no idea what you are talking about when you mention the technicals. Wow, I am obsessed with your videos because your passion allows me to reconnect with music I once loved. Thanks man!
    1
  6669. To say your a national treasure would diminish your contributions to we the people, the world needs music! Thanks for sharing this video, you seem to have a Midas touch right now .... Every coming from this channel is gold!
    1
  6670. I devoured this song when I was a kid. Frampton's first solo before the talk box has always been one of my all-time favs. To see Rick and co. rip out those solos--and to have Rick break down just how intricate the song really is--justifies the self-imposed trance I would put myself in while listening to this album as a 12 year old. So well done, gentlemen!!
    1
  6671. My favorite Beato video -- 'didn't expect a Jarrett homage......loved it. My favorite solo playing by Keith would probably when he and Manfred Eicher stumbled upon a Bosendorfer in Paris and decided to record improvisations which became the Staircase album. Listen to Hourglass Pt 2....well, listen to all of it!
    1
  6672. Young people, you want to be as well rounded in all music as this man is. From Jimmy Cobb to Nirvana and beyond. No boundaries, no borders. He is not alone. Many of us of his generation are similarly influenced. Bach, Beatles, Bulgarian voices. All of it and everything. Thank you Rick. Your books are great.
    1
  6673. The thing is that you don't learn much by watching TV, but you learn a hell of a lot by watching Rick Beato's videos on YouTube, and they are very entertaining at the same time. Content creators don't need multiple camera operators and producers, because they have integrity and originality, and are not held to ransom by TV execs or advertisers.

  6674. G'day from Australia Rick. You've struck a chord with me again. Hearing you talk of time spent with your Dad listening to music was very touching and brought back memories. I remember listening to Crosby, Stills and Nash, their first album, with my Dad. He was a mildly successful singer, songwriter and guitarist and he would school me "listen to all of the vocals. Hear the accompaniments and allow the music to wash over you. Let it enter your mind. Feel it in your chest. Imagine you're on stage singing." I did that. We listened to many genres of music...but especially classical, opera and harmonic vocal groups(Bread, the Eagles etc) but NEVER jazz. I was in a summer school holiday 'Swing Choir' for a few summers and one year he came to see us perform at Melbourne Town Hall, in Victoria, Australia. I was lucky enough to have a scatting solo in the gig and a few other featured vocal parts. I recall that afterwards he was complimentary but clearly said "I don't know why you bother with this jazzy stuff. You're better suited to lounge music(Sinatra type) and musicals." To me, it was a punch in the guts. All those years of listening to HIS music. I'd appreciated it all. Drank in the minutiae and sang all of the parts with him harmonizing and having a ball. But then, to realise that no matter what I did or possibly achieved in a pure 'Jazz Style' my Dad would never enjoy it...that was tough. My Dad passed away nearly 20yrs ago of colon cancer. Before he died he told me "You have always been a better singer than me. You've worked so hard at your craft but I was always scared that you'd surpass me in success. So I never encouraged you." I was stunned. Not because of his selfishness...oh, we all knew his ways long before then. It was his acceptance of my art being good enough. That was all I needed to know he truly cared. Acknowledgement from someone you respect so much is a powerful thing. Once again Rick...I thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing another story from your life.

  6683. When I want to tune my E string to D I mess with my Squier's machine head. Rick buys a Les Paul.

  6684. Rick when did you become a master interviewer? Ever since the Sting interview I began appreciating your craft of allowing an otherwise inroverted and complex musician to relax and share with us their unique story and vision. And now this interview right after Rick Ruben. Amazing!
    1
  6685. Watched the whole interview three times since Thursday. It is a gem ... Thank you.
    1
  6686. One reason why I love your channel.
    1
  6687. Rick, I'm a big fan of your channels, I've seen Frank Zappa 6X I've seen David Lee Roth's eat'em and Smile tour 2x Steve knows all the trix but he ain't rock n roll! just my opinion! Having perfect pitch and not caring about is rock n roll, Dylan Beato is rock n roll , The amp hissing throughout the interview was classic!

  6688. That Abasi guitar <3

  6689. Rick, you’ll probably never see this, but I teared up watching the section on Wichita Lineman. My God, the history of this video is priceless. Thank you.

  6690. This is such a great interview. Brad is a genius. It was fascinating to watch and listen to you two discussing music. Rick, that was one of your best so far. Thank you for doing these interviews!

  6691. Alhambra casino is still there :)

  6692. Keep it up Rick ! Love your content and love your stories. You were also the first YouTuber to go live with the Neil Peart news last year. As a life long RUSH fan it was awesome to hear you talk about what RUSH and Neil meant to you growing up. To that end you should reach out to SRO Management to get Geddy and/or Alex on :)
    1
  6693. These conversations are just phenomenal! Thank you so much for the level of class and sophistication you have brought to YouTube, Rick. Getting to sit in on these conversations with these giants of music is a dream come true for me.

  6694. The kick sounds exactly like Alex.Need Roto toms.

  6695. Just when I thought Rick didn't know the first solo (air guitar) , video cuts to him playing along !

  6696. This has to be my most favourite of all the interviews you have ever done Rick. Absolutely fantastic. Just finished watching the entire thing...Great ending by Hans too 👍😂. Truly Excellent.

  6697. Rick, this is outstanding. Thank you to Jimmy Webb (who also has a refreshing vocabulary)

  6698. Rick, you are a genius interviewer. You are right up there with Walter Cronkite, Dan Rather and Phil Donahue. I will always be a fan of your channel!
    1
  6699. You never cease to amaze, Mr. Beato. I have been a subscriber here since 2017, your videos are highly educational and elucidating in a world that dislikes good music. This song is one of my desert island favorites straight from my adolescence. Keep up the great work.
    1
  6700. Every time I watch these my jaw is on the floor for the details you bring out. Thanks so much for the series and looking forward to many more 😎
    1
  6701. OK Rick, now I know where your heart lies.
    1
  6702. Rick, I realized about half way through the video why you made it. That realization brought tears to my eyes because this video is your memorial to her. Trust me when I say I feel your pain. I won't go into any lengthy speeches, but you have my deepest condolences.
    1
  6703. These interviews are why I donate. Long interviews with legends!
    1
  6704. Among the innumerous channels about music, yours is the best by far, at least for me, Rick. I'm very grateful for finding it. And, of course, I'm glad for knowing Jaco Pastorius's work. I wish one day I'll have a little amount of the skills he had, thus I will keep on practicing and studying.
    1
  6705. Internet and Youtube were invented to broadcast this video. Thank you Mr Beato

  6706. From Layla listening to Bach to pounding kick@$$ metal -- you're quite the interesting guy, Beato! 👍👍

  6707. Dear Sir. For me, your yt channel is one of the most significant, interesting and probably the most useful for development of myself. Thank you, Mr Rick. God bless you! MZ

  6714. Absolutely love this video. You're amazing, I wish I had your ear to figure out songs like you can. Don't stop.

  6718. omg that Purdie drum beat, what a legend.... sounds like the start to "Take the money and run"

  6719. This is probably Tori's most personal interview I have ever watched. It's clear she really appreciates Rick's questions and the way he puts her at ease and lets her elaborate on thoughts and ideas. It's so nice when an interviewer really LISTENS!
    1
  6720. Wow, this was the most captivating interview I've ever watched. Usually I'll listen to longer interviews like this as a kind of background track, but from the start this one pulled me in and I couldn't look away. THIS is what an interview is supposed to be. Asking the right questions, but giving the interviewee room to breath and let their answers expand without interrupting to get to the next question. At the end, I found myself saying "This was incredible, I wish we had even more". Great job, Rick. I honestly believe this is the best interview you've done yet and the best interview I've seen, period.
    1
  6721. I loved that bit. Rick pushed pack, and Sting finally admitted, yeah, I'm a good jazz bassist, played in a jazz band, worked in a pit...and he added that he could still do so today, before finally admitted he knows his stuff and merely didn't "go to conservatory". Beato also called him out a bit later, how Sting isn't just thinking up melodies, he's harmonizing the whole song, choosing his chords and inversions and whatnot. I LOLd when Sting said...that A min chord is not an A min chord until my bass says so, plus I have the top end with singing, so the whole band has to operate within my bandwidth. He struck my as humble but also someone who knows who's boss within his ensemble dynamic.

  6722. I have a friend who's is 30 years older than me. He recently got diagnosed with small cell carcinoma and chemo seemed to be going good but then more cancer was detected in his brain. Hes been hospiized for a few weeks now trying everything they can throw at it. He still texts us at work and says he's coming back so we can't give his office away. I hope that's true. It's not the same here without him.

  6726. I had coach Jacoby he was one of my neighbors and I love your videos Rick !Your references to Fairport and ATL bring up such great memories for me.

  6727. OH! Also, has anyone seen the film of a young Julian Bream playing lute for STRAVINSKY?? Bream is understandably beside himself the entire time, and performs a Pavane as Stravinsky watches and listens attentively. Pure magic.
    1
  6728. Wow, Rick!! I just found your site after hearing the news about the death of mr. Edward Van Halen. I have to say that what you're doing is right up my alley, as an Eddie imitator in the 80s and 90s. Subscribed and liked!

  6729. Best channel on YouTube dude,,,

  6730. So many of the musicians Rick has interviewed are remarkably, fascinatingly articulate. They're thoughtful and intelligent as all get-out. Mike Mills is among the best ever.

  6731. I had no idea you were an accomplished interviewer. Loved the Sir David Gilmour interview, by the way.

  6732. Lol. Not even a single solo from GNR, holy smoke. I respect your list but it only shows your style of playing. 🤣

  6736. Man you're such a good storyteller- I subscribed today.

  6737. Great installment. Your innate curiosity and, obviously, a good ear, has taken you so far in life...but it all begins simply, with a song, six strings and a curiosity coupled with a need to "make that sound", whether it's acoustic or electric...and a supportive parent that gave you the means to thrive.

  6738. Video games leverage many different psychological phenomena which are largely subconscious. They highjack the flow-state marker and put you in the flow state almost immediately. It takes years of learning an instrument to get real flow happening. They randomised reward strategies (often hidden) which hook into the same things that gambling do.
    1
  6739. Rick probably won't read it, but this could help to reshape his perspective a little, so here goes nothing. As a person interested in orchestral music in my youth, it's always interesting to me to see how different the time scales of mainstream music are. You can absolutely have a 40 years career if you cultivate your audience and turn away from the mainstream, and many rock bands (and so many other kinds of musicians, but let's focus on rock) are still touring and releasing albums every 3 to 5 years. Judas Priest's last two albums went straight to their top 5. Iron Maiden and Aria still sell out stadiums. Wacken is still a blast every single year. Last month I went to a concert of such a band. Paralamas do Sucesso (Fenders of Success) is a Brazilian rock band from the 80s with a very characteristic punk-reaggae-brass style (and yes, it works) that plays ball with the mainstream, and are thus more "pop" on singles (which I don't like), but whose albums and live performances tend to lean more heavily into rock (which I love). Every couple years they score a hit, and that's everything they need to have a setlist so packed that no concert with less than 3 hours is gonna make everybody happy. They sing in Portuguese, so their market is mostly isolated from the US and most of Europe, but they can still easily pack 10k venues for several consecutive nights. And those artists exist in every major market. It's not just an Anglosphere thing. Maybe what happened to those musicians is that they got there first. They opened the doors of booming musical markets (in tastes, in styles, in places) and guaranteed they'd have a first row seat to everything that followed. When they retire, they'll be replaced by... nobody. They'll be forever "the great record artists of the late 20th century". Just as the great Western composers from before recordings, they'll be the great artists from before streaming, before AI, before whatever else happens with music this century. We grew up witnessing something that will never, can never, maybe should never, happen again.

  6740. OMG Rick, I always thought the great music and composer Beethoven was, I watched "Inmortal Beloved" and "Amadeus" and was marvelous about how they could imagine so great masterpieces in their minds. But your personal approach was mindblowing... I am a phisician and I suffer also from tinnitus. at the end of the video I was in tears.... Love from Barcelona Spain.

  6741. Sorry, I guess I should have waited until the very end. ;)

  6742. It's such an experience to follow you in this videos, especially this one, this monumental song by Led Zeppelin. Going along with you is like having a sommelier right next to us explaining why a good wine is such a good wine, and as we taste it the whole thing unfolds in front of us and we learn all the details and understand the deep roots from where this great piece of art was built upon. And we love it even more. Thanks Beato, you are a master teacher, you´re the man!!

  6745. I conducted a performance of LvB's 7th symphony at the Apollo Theater years ago (as well as Duke Ellington's "Three Black Kings" suite), and after the concert an elderly African-America lady thanked me for the performance and said, "You know, I never knew Beethoven had so much soul." (BTW, I'm elderly now!)

  6749. Rick, this is pure pleasure to listen to. You’re getting better and better as an interviewer. Mr.Cross was an amazing guest as well, very generous. Didn’t know is music that much. On a two hour drive from Montreal, I listened exclusively to his music. It made my ride so much more enjoyable.

  6753. I play guitar at the church I attend. One of our drummers was one that liked to fiddle with things in an attempt to make things sound better. Adjust mics, tune drums mid rehearsal, etc. After rehearsal, we were talking to sound guy at the board. I watched him (drummer) turn off the -20dB pad on my guitar channel. For some odd reason, it didn't occur to me what he did. First song, I hit the first chord and about blow everyone out of the church pews. (An extra 20 dB's on the input side of the board will do that.) I spent the entire song looking at my rig trying to figure out what was wrong. When the song finished, the drummer walked back to the board and re-engaged the -20 dB pad...that's when it hit me what he did. He walked past me, going back to the drum cage for the second song, and gave the "Sorry!" hand wave. I watched him do it...and it didn't register. Band leader laughed.

  6754. Your channel is mostly the reason why I picked up the guitar again after 10 years, joined a band and started creating music. Thanks to you educating I am on a whole new level. 🖖

  6755. Finally bought your book today Rick, look forward to learning so much, thx for your work. Great discount too!

  6756. Saw JP in Santa Monica ca 1989. can't describe it, so I won't try.
    1
  6757. The mystery of the many guitars is solved. A different one for each tuning. Different setups etc. Makes sense when you think about it for working in a studio. I still think secretly Rick wants a different colour Les Paul just because it is cool.

  6758. Rick, long time viewer and middle school teacher. Loved the story and wanted to let you know this video will be shown in my class this week for years to come. Great message Thank you!

  6759. Sounds crazy but during this world and USA crisis watching this made me feel better. Thanks Rick
    1
  6760. I have watched many, many of your videos since you first were doing "what makes this song great." This video, about Joe Pass, and I think really also about your father, inspired me the most. What a great video.

  6761. Rick, for just a second during this interview you started singing Giant Steps, and I had to know… so I checked. You sang it in the RIGHT KEY! Hahaha. Of course! Anyway, this was an amazing interview. Loved its depth and truth. THANK YOU!!!!
    1
  6762. I knew it would have to be good, but I wasn't expecting it to be this good. Lanois is such good talent, and Rick… you've really nailed the interviewer thing (a very tricky balancing act). The two of you should do a regular chin-wag about your shared passion for music and all that production stuff. Thank you so much!

  6763. I am always pleasantly surprised, when I talk about Rick Beato out here in Los Angeles… Whether to a family member, a co-worker or fellow church member… they all say the same thing, “yea, I love Rick Beato!”. Now that’s what I call appealing to a mixed demographic!

  6764. I haven't played your guitar so l wouldn't know if it's in tune.

  6765. You kids with your slang, and your baggy pants and your Wagner!! Full disclosure... it’s a repost from a comment I made cuz it made me laugh

  6766. Rick, you have to land Hetfield on the channel!

  6767. I wish Rick could add a donate box to these videos because he makes "0" dollars and since there is no other video series on YouTube or anywhere like this, and he deserves our appreciation. I learn so much and I'm sure you do as well...👍🎵🎶🎼❤

  6768. Skyler Kirby, it’s simple: but some Rick Beato swag! The beato book is good place to start, and some mugs for gifting. They are especially great for my non musical friends who roll their eyes and laugh.

  6769. Rick, did you ever study graphic design? My other (money making) career outside of music was graphic design. Besides running my own studio, I taught it at the college level for 18 years. You're obsessing over the same stuff that I would. With a tongue in cheek!
    1
  6770. Thank you so much for this video Rick. Two days ago, I was diagnosed with cancer. The condition may leave me unable to play bass guitar again, which is heartbreaking to me. But if I beat it, I will need lots of therapy to get my coordination back. I may have to start from scratch, but playing again will be part of my therapy, for more than just coordination. Your videos have really been motivation to help me through. Again, thank you!

  6771. Amazing, warming and heartfelt interview with my favourite pianist who's been I my life for the last 30 years since discovering Koln. Rick, you've created a piece of history here. Just the most wonderful film - up there with the BBC documentary. Just wonderful to watch. I'll be revisiting this whenever I need my heart replenished. Just beautiful.

  6772. Rick, I am 76 yrs. old and I have learn more about music in the last year (watching your videos)than the previous 75. Thank You.

  6773. This is a great episode Rick. Just from the content off your channel I've deepened my knowledge of music. While I listen to your videos, often the subject matter is over my head so I take notes and look it up in my old music notes. Over the winter I took the plunge on The Beato Book...TREMENDOUS!!! Between you and Troy Grady I am twice the musician that I was three years ago. One day I'll make it up to you some how.

  6774. There's nothing you can do: Rick has this unmatchable capability of disclosing the most beautiful hidden feelings of the artists being interviewed...

  6775. This video convinced me to buy the bundle, Rick. Love your channel tremendously. Thank you!!

  6776. I was about to lay down, when I saw the title of your video, and I knew instantly that it wasn't about a band, or a song, etc. First of all, I'm so very sorry that you and those who loved this man Peter, lost someone they deeply cared about put off their lives. My deepest condolences to you, as well as how wife, and family. This video deeply touched my heart. I always knew you had a kind heart, but this shows another level of compassion, and love that you extend for others. I pray that you and those who love and whom are in your life, flourish in every way possible. I've been tuning into your channel since around 2018. Your videos are always enjoyable, and informative, though I realize, as of this video, just how blessed your subscriber base (including myself) are, to have found your channel.

  6777. I can't play an instrument or sing but I just love listening to people who can. And it makes such a difference having someone as knowledgeable and enthusiastic as Rick doing the interviewing.

  6781. A musician's life isn't measured by the years they are with us, but by the memories they give us that we never forget. She was an inspiration to you, and as you teach and inspire us, you share her soul with us all. She's will always be here, as long as you learn, and as long as you teach. Every musician in this world, all of them, form an ensemble. One of infinite potential, and one that isn't limited by genre. We may have lost a member, but that member spent her time with us teaching us everything we needed to know to continue growing. Thank her for inspiring you, and thank you for inspiring us. She's here. She always will be. And every time you strum a guitar or strike a piano, or just do what you do, you will put that big, sweet smile, on her face, and it will light up the room. And I promise, you will feel it. May Aunt Penny Rest In Peace, and may her music reverberate throughout the world.

  6782. Rick. you're the best! Like, you're the brother-in-law I wish I had!

  6783. Thank you so much Rick for being Rick! You're a true master of music, the history, the originals, the music business, production and being a nice guy - and it's this combination that makes the greats love to talk to you. Whatever is on their minds, they know you can relate and actually understand, talk in a grown-up manner, no BS, no platitudes, no narcissism, no fanboy behaviour either. Who wouldn't love to have such a conversation - I'd guess they have rather little opportunity to such exchange because there aren't many people around who have all the skills and experiences plus the persona combined. I'm so grateful to live in these times. All the best to you!

  6784. this has been the video that i've shared the most .... i'm a huge fan of all of the vids. I love music and watch you break down all my favorite songs. This one is special to share as we all know why. Thank you Rick for doing this one for us to spread and share with the message.

  6786. I spent most of my career in engineering and management of water and wastewater utilities. I’m impressed that Rick knows that we try to recycle all the water that goes down the drain. When he showed that picture of the clarifiers at the sewage treatment plant, I felt like he was talking just to me😂😂😂

  6787. Here is what GPT says about this video if you didn't get the answer to the title: The theme of the video revolves around the fine details of professional guitar tone and the aspects amateurs often overlook. In summary, here are the key points: 1. Equipment Synergy: It’s not just about how a pedal, guitar, or amp works individually but how they function together as a system. For example, tone and reverb settings need to complement other gear. 2. Quick Adaptation: Time is critical in a studio setting. Professionals can adjust their gear and tone within seconds, while amateurs tend to spend too much time tinkering. 3. Room and Atmosphere: Guitarists must consider the reactions and vibe of others in the room (e.g., the artist, producer, friends). This can influence tone and performance. 4. Amp and Mic Positioning: Proper placement of amps and microphones makes a big difference. For instance, where the mic is positioned on the speaker cone affects the brightness or depth of the tone. 5. Different Gear Inspires Different Playing Styles: Professionals understand that different amps or effects push them to play in unique ways. Amateurs often try to play the same way regardless of the gear. 6. Instant Improvisation: Pros adapt immediately to the tone and effects provided by the equipment, playing riffs or melodies that suit the sound in real time. 7. Character of Equipment: Every piece of gear has its own unique tone and feel. For example, an old Marshall amp’s “thin” or “fat” tones dictate what genre or style it’s suited for. 8. Minimalism and Selectivity: Using too much gear isn’t always better. Often, a few well-chosen pedals or a simple setup can be far more effective. This video highlights how professional guitarists use their equipment not just to produce tones but to tell a story. Amateurs often miss these nuances.

  6792. as an Argentine living in New York...I LOVE your commentaries on music... God bless you
    1
  6793. Rick, this was terrific. Thanks. But it brought up a topic my son and I argue about from time to time. What is it that makes a piece of music timeless? You have a series about what make a song great. But even great songs aren’t necessarily timeless. Yet some songs, whether it’s Vivaldi’s ‘Summer’ from Four Seasons or Davis’ ‘So What’ or Rush’s ‘Limelight’ seem to never lose their appeal. There must be something about a ‘great’ song that turns it into a timeless song. Because there is a difference. My son and I argue about this difference. Perhaps you can talk about this in a future episode.

  6797. WOW…just WOW Rick. I was thinking rock solo guitar from the title. But this! Thank you for this intro to Oscar Peterson. Would’ve loved to have been in that audience. You never disappoint!
    1
  6798. LOL I immediately thought of Slow Ride too. But Free Bird is pretty much unassailable as a rock song, even if we're all quite tired of it by now.

  6799. First and foremost, Oscar Peterson is my favorite Jazz pianist. Second, I've been watching your videos for years now - and in my opinion, THIS is your best video. Thank you Rick Beato for making this great video!!!

  6800. This is one of my favorite videos of all time. It completely blew me away. Thanks.

  6801. For some reason, I never really looked into Jeff Beck. Besides the Yardbirds, I know very little. But I do know the song, Scatterbrained, and all I can say is WOW! Anyway, this video reminded me to check out some of Beck’s stuff, so thank you! I love your videos, Mr Beato!

  6808. Rick, you have won my heart. I would not have figured you to praise Gordo, one of my favorites of all time. Your comprehensive view of music is so wonderful! Thanks so much for sharing your story and impressions of "If You Could Read My Mind".

  6809. Rick this is truly a public service! Thank you. Long live Martha!

  6811. Far and away, your best and most profound video. Some people live with regrets. I tend to second guess life choices and hyper-analyze everything. That will eat you alive. You found the silver lining. Kudos to you!
    1
  6812. Sucky place to be. You want to teach so you go to the best and most popular platform. You carefully choose the best popular examples of your topic so it gets a foothold in the mind of the viewer. You demonstrate without using a recording so it’s easier to break down its components. You celebrate the work as great and as an example of why what you’re teaching is applicable and important. You hope maybe someone learning from you does something great too. All this is covered by the law of the land not just as legal, but fair. Then someone argues it’s not exactly fair and wants money for your celebration of their work. The platform won’t help because it would nearly go bankrupt in a year from legal fees if they did that for everyone. The platform threatens to exclude you. You can’t go elsewhere because nowhere else is as good. You’re being held ransom by two entities because the platform would rather help the bully than get bullied. Meanwhile they’re both making sure they get part of your lunch money.

  6816. I subscribed to your channel immediately after Episode 2 for Every Little Thing She Does is Magic by The Police. I was blown away by your analysis and suggested you try it on some Phish. This makes me so happy seeing my favorite you tuber and my favorite band come together!!

  6817. That was not what I expected. It broke me. So I listened again, this time knowing more about Peter and your relationship. It broke me even more, I can barely see my screen. The world needs more Peters (and a few more Ricks for good measure).

  6818. Thank you Rick. We finally have the ultimate Pat's interview. Absolutely a must.

  6819. Awesome video Rick! You are the #1 reason I come to YouTube. Been following you since nearly the beginning. You’re always real, but I love when you show what’s shaped you personally. Pretty awesome to see you stay true to yourself. I hope you have millions more followers that get their minds and heart expanded to music the way you’ve done that for me. Thanks

  6822. Hello, Rick! Just watched the S.T.H. video with your buddies playing solos. Had no idea you are from Fairport! My wife and I were there just two weeks, ago! My wife is from Rochester/Webster via Ogdensburg, and she has friends in Fairport, Webster, Victor, and Canandaigua. We spent time at Keuka and Honeoye and Canandaigua....Naples. Dinners at the New York Beer Project and wedding reception at Blades restaurant. Such a beautiful area, including the lift bridge which we crossed a couple of times! Best to you and yours from an old, old Takamine player, PK from Fremont, CA.

  6825. There are people that argue that top popular music today is no less complex than in the early 70’s. I have one question: Have any of them listened to this song? EVER? I mean, there is more richness and complexity in the first 60 seconds of this than in any top ten song today.

  6828. Mr. Beato, Thank you for innate skill of describing sounds & feelings while deeply keeping us all involved in your topic. You have comforted many of us for the last 9 months with all of your works because we need to find new ways to be involved. When I read the title, I knew what was coming watched anyway & let the tears roll. Thank you for including us. My condolences to your family.

  6830. A non-musician can watch this and know that this guy was a monster. But, if you're a musician, you understand the thousands and thousands of hours of focused input that it takes to get this good....not to mention, you need a gift from God. Oscar was one in a million. Absolutely STELLAR.

  6831. Finally, a Gibson that I would buy! Love the color, love the P-90s, and love Rick!

  6832. It's sad but true. So much music these days is not natural. The integrity of a song isn't often truly carried all the way through. It's a computer driven industry and it's rare to see an artist go all-out with live musicians let alone not tinkering the song with a 100 VST plugins! Where has the complexity of music gone too.....!!!!
    1
  6833. How many times did Dominic repeat what Rick said? I counted at least 6 times. When an interviewee repeats your words like that, you know the interviewer is doing it right. Rick is simply a master. He should have a Master Class. He is that good.

  6834. As a CCF patient (3xCABG-2012) I can share some things with you. About 2 weeks after surgery I had my first big sneeze. HOLY SHIZ!!! I thought my ribcage had launched into Lake Erie! I was soon laughing about it, but it was unexpected and sharp. It gets less sensitive as time goes. The biggest thing that they don't tell you is that "It's ALL About the Breathing." The extent of your recovery from surgery is linked to how well you relearn to breathe and how much you strengthen your breathing. That means... the dreaded... Cardio Exercise. I don't know how you take care of yourself... whether you exercise or run or bike.. But... Pick Something! Something that you can stand to do that is cardio. Preferably, sustained cardio (at least for several 5 minute spurts over 30 to 60 minutes. Something that makes your heart beat fast and hard. Well... Let me stop there and say, "Only with your Doctors' Approval." My guess is... within the next 45 days. I biked for a while and really enjoyed it, but... good old running (I used to hate running) is the most direct way. I enjoy my runs but the best thing about running is how good it feels when you stop. LOL The cardiologists and surgeons at the Cleveland Clinic (CCF) are actual Rockstars. Yes. I meant to say it. They're not necessarily the guys or ladies that you would want to hang out with, but they are Real Fucking Scientists who have beat out top Med School Grads from the entire planet. If you ask a question, you better be prepared to comprehend the answer. Rick... I wept 3x during the entire experience. 1. When I had my initial heart attack. All I could think of was my daughter who I was the main parent to. I told the Life Flight Sky EMT "I can't die! I have a 10 year old daughter." 2. I had to wait 3 months between my heart attack and 3xCABG for a whole bunch of genetic studies. Every male in my family have had an MI or died of one young. I had 3 months of pre-surgery meetings and tests. The sugeon himself was a very blunt man.... LOL. He didn't sugar coat NUTHIN'! I hadn't realized that there was a video tape (like a Flouroscope) of the catherization that initially saved my life. I just burst into tears uncontrollably at the moment that the blockage was opened and the damage to my heart stopped. 3. Was another meeting pre surgery when he described how they stop anf restart the heart. It had only just dawned on me that you can't sew up a beating heart. I was the youngest patient in the cardiac recovery ward (46). A fact that I was NOT proud of. I had worked as an overnight recording engineer in Detroit and I used to smoke tons of cigs and eat shitty and overwork myself. There was a string genetic component to my cardiac issues, but my behaviour poured gasoline on it. I am no longer in the business for other reasons, but I dabble and it is not the music that was harmful. It was cigs, shitty food, and staying up for 32 hours. That was 12 years ago. Anyhow.... Everybody is different, so what I described for me may not be your experience. I gotta go. My daughter (all grown now) has my Cleveland Clinic Heart Pillow. We Love You! Take Care of yourself! Medications take some time and some experimenting to calibrate. I can tell you more later. Gotta go for now.

  6840. thank you, Rick. i was going to bed at night and decided to take a peek at this video. and i couldn't stop and watched it in full. so many interesting things i didn't know about. Michael is a fantastic producer. I'd really like to hear him talk about all his records in full detail.

  6848. When DAW's were brand new on the scene, I was a Regional Sales guy for one of the major brands. Steve Lukather was a friend of my VP of sales. Luke asked us to come down to his studio in N.Hollywood ("The Steak House") to install/update his DAW. While there, Jeff Beck was working out ideas with Steve for a new album (that never was released, unfortunately) and I was in the control room with the engineer... installing (a slow process) which led to chit-chat about guitars, etc. Steve and Jeff were walking out of the studio to go to lunch, and Beck pops his head into the control room and says, "I heard you are a guitar player... if you want to take a blow on my rig, go ahead." So I did... thinking I would sound like Beck. Nope... I sounded like me. It was a revelation to me how unique and nuanced Jeff's technique is. When they came back, I asked him about this... he smiled and said, "No matter what your gear is, your sound is all in your hands." A rare encounter with an incredibly unique musician. A benefit from that encounter is that Beck let us use one of his tracks from the unreleased album for demo purposes which was great.

  6849. Rick, I think your videos are great. I've used them to get my band students interested in not just pop music, but music theory, the why's and how's things are done in music. And, equally important, to stress the point that it takes a lot of individual work and relying on everyone in the room to know their role, know their part, know their business to make a great piece of music, a performance, a career. That, to me, is what band and making music with other people is all about. Learn your skill, know your craft, and collaborate with others to make something greater than the sum of its parts. Thank you, Rick, for all that you do. You inspire me daily as an educator, as a musician, and as one who appreciates a great final product.

  6850. Rick, all your interviews are all the same …inquisitive, competent, intellectual, academic, enlightened, sophisticated, cerebral and a monumental masterclass in what an audience deserves….thank you my friend 🤘

  6852. Thank you for sharing part of your and Johnny's story. Not normally one to leave a comment but too many of us have lost friends and family to suicide. They live on in our memories and in the telling of their stories. Big love to you brother, and to Johnny. Peace.

  6859. I love almost all of your videos. This is one of the best. I have always loved this song. You have just peeled some amazing layers of this masterpiece. You could have done a full video of just the strings. Simply magnificent composition and brilliant production. There is so much behind the texture of this song. It’s a special bonus that Seal himself added some insight. Thank you for all you do, Rick.

  6861. Hi Rick! Thanks for being an insightful person, something that seems to be rare, and getting even rarer by the day! I believe that that's your most appealing attribute/attitude , which makes for a positive connection between you, and the viewer(s). Your honest approach, and an unbiased one, is VERY refreshing! You seem to be a student of the "less is more" school, which is twinned to the Confucius standard, "He who speaks ... does NOT know .... and he who knows ... does NOT speak" is proven once again,, to be our ONLY stance, if we value truth! I loved your interview with my number 1 guitarist bar NONE, LARRY CARLTON, and I know Larry loved it too! It was very evident in his demeanor! I've met Larry several times and got to be around him enough through the years to know how he reacts to people. He can be a bit standoffish, and cool towards you if he's feels that you're not genuine, or insincere! I've had 3, or 4 fairly long moments of being with him, waiting to do some minor interview/review(s) at concerts. But in your interview Larry is wide open with a smile to boot!!! Rick thank you for your honesty and your talents!!!! Ciao Sal.

  6863. I could listen to you tell your stories indefinitely. I came to my senses a little at the 14 minute mark and said - "Yep. He's reeled me in again. I'm completely immersed in his meter and mannerisms. Same wavelength."

  6864. Wait wait wait... "Is that too much drumming?" Mmm... no, sir. Not here, not anywhere, not now, not ever. I always expect MORE drumming. But thanks for asking :-)

  6865. I know absolutely NO ONE in the world cares about this except for myself, but I was able to figure out the band and the song at 1:25 after Rick mentioned their monthly play count and said they were heralded as a great band in the late 90s. I think he's mentioned Amsterdam on this channel before, and I was like YES it is a great song from a great album. Ok I just needed a moment to be proud of myself, signing off.

  6866. This is a perfect example of why Rick's channel is so amazing. He has all the nerdy music knowledge of a professor, (structure, history, etc), he's a producer, great musician across multiple instruments, loves to teach, and yet he is obviously in awe of the musical greats like Billy Strings. You can tell he loves to watch this guy play as well as get into Billy's head about what makes him tick. Rick comes from the place of a fan and that is what is what I as a viewer can really relate to.

  6867. His soloing is so free, unpredictable and unfailingly tasty.

  6870. Rick.... we just love you man. Sincerely, Your community.

  6871. If you watched the whole video, Rick isn't slamming age at all. There is no attention span anymore, nor sense of humor. Lord...

  6872. Dear Rick as a guitarist turned conductor and arranger I am always fascinated by you, your channel, your vast knowledge from Beethoven (was moved by your tribute to him) to Joni Mitchel (what an idol ) to today's music on Spotify. thanks for all those inspiring videos, especially this one !

  6873. did you get a new camera setup? The image is really nice, whatever you are doing in that respect, thumbs up

  6874. Stop the fight. Rick Beato is the King of Youtube. Thank you Rick for these amazing interviews.

  6875. This interview is everything that is right on youtube, and the world.

  6876. Mo Sherrill, Waldo Woodworth, Larry Poole, Tom Ghidiu - All gave us a lifetime appreciation of music!

  6878. I'm a good bass player or I thought I was before this video dammit

  6879. cool video! (and I'm not usually listening to classical) would watch more like this (in moderation, like all things :)

  6880. Wisdom lots of wisdom. Yes, sometimes I bark.

  6881. Best channel on youtube hands down, nobody in music journalism is cranking out content this great at this rate
    1
  6882. So I just sat and watched this nonstop in one sitting (to be clear), super nice of Hans Zimmer to be so welcoming and candid. I'm not a die hard fan of Hans' more recent blockbuster scores (as his two fingers analogy sorely reminded me), but I've loads of R E S P E C T for him as a person, as a musician, and as a film composer. Totally agree with him that one shouldn't notice film music, unless it's really bad, or really extraordinary (e.g., Ennio Morricone's Western trilogies, or more recently, Natalie Holt's score for Obi-Wan Kenobi). Bottom line, what a great life, great body of work, great collaborator, and great boss and friend. R E S P E C T .

  6883. Why wasn’t the cardinal motion solo on the top 20 guitar solos list?!?

  6884. Rick, You never cease to amaze me how you can pick up a guitar and play along with a song. Great video, as always, the reason I subscribed. Regards a fan from Aus.

  6885. Theres a word for a dude who has this kind of self analysis and self reflection/introspection even when he knows he is superbly good in what he does: THE MASTER

  6886. The joy you show is like you are going to burst. Magnificent.
    1
  6887. Fascinating to see an artist communicating his train of thought and a teacher, producer at the receiving end with his brain analyzing every bit and trying to condense it ;) Pat Metheny is able to be the storyteller he is through his music, as shown in his way of communicating and Rick Beato is able to the musician, teacher, producer, as shown in his way of receiving it and dealing with it. We need the both of them, that's the beauty of people. This was an epic discussion. Pat Metheny's sensitivity touches mine deeply. Pat's bit about quarter notes is on par with Carole Kaye's rant (justified) about quarter notes ;) Thank you Rick!

  6888. Transfixed by that blue lp.

  6889. Episode #1 of what makes this song crap - Anything by Jeff Slate. Was just watching the Dick Cavett interview with Paul Simon about the writing of BOTW. The guy is a genius. And the chord changes in 50 ways to leave your lover! He just seems to play the guitar like its a piano, he just moves so freely! Just would also like to say thank you so much for all your videos Rick, I have watched a ton of them and am always inspired and educated so cheers!
    1
  6890. I don’t share your enthusiasm for Brandi Carlisle’s work; I find it generic at best. She has a good voice, but there’s nothing in her vocal tone that makes it recognizable among others, it’s pretty run-of-the-mill (I can always recognize Adele’s even when I never heard the song before). I know she’s a huge Joni Mitchell fan, however Joni’s chord progressions always went in unexpected directions while still ending up making perfect harmonic sense; Carlisle’s progressions always seem to take the road most travelled.

  6891. I am proud im rick’s subscriber

  6892. Rick's solo is the best I've heard in ages!

  6893. Am the same way. Don’t play any instrument. But I find this captivating as well.

  6894. You mean,…”There’s still hope”!

  6895. Ive heard this song a million times but getting a microscope on the 2nd pre-chorus, the way the piano and strings weave was like hearing it for the first time again. Simply unreal.

  6898. My son Trevor loved Jaco. RIP TREVOR.

  6899. What I love about this video, many of Rick Beato's videos, is that I have absolutely no idea what he is talking about. But he clearly does, and is excited about it. And the music is great.
    1
  6900. So many good points here. This was not a rant but an insightful opinion on the subject. Good work.
    1
  6901. Tom Dowd story: So I have to say this, I recently ran across a photo of myself and Phil Ramone, in the photograph Phil is saying under his breath "can you believe Tom Dowd is taking our picture?", I laughed when I saw the pic ...what an awesome memory, I cherish it.

  6902. Rick, your interviews are more important than you think, as you provide insightful appreciation, documentation and presentation of the intricate fabric of music, where no genre is superior to another, and even artists are revealed as texture and shade of tone of individuality, all at home in their rightful place in the sonic tapestry. Above all, Rick, you're teaching us to not take for granted these artists and the wealth of their music at our fingertips. Thanks, Rick, for being the right guy, right place, right time, who has so much genuine love and respect for the craft that its most reticent grandmasters are willing to open up to you and share with us through you some of their wisdom. These interviews will one day become an established part of national institution collections, like the National Archives or the Smithsonian. Yes, they are THAT unique, and THAT important. Whatever you do, sir, don't stop, and many thanks again.

  6903. So this is the guy that plays it live on stage? He's pretty good... Who knew??? 😂 I also like the guy who sings it on stage too..

  6904. Oh man, that blue LP though, my god!
    1
  6905. I feel very much out of touch right now. I see all of the comments here, and everyone is high on Mr. Lanois, and I know nothing about the man. Jeez man, I have been a musician for 40 years and know of the many great producers , engineers and great studio`s in the world of Rock & Roll/pop/metal/fusion, etc., yet never heard of Dan Lanois. Why? I haven`t a clue. Again , here is Rick sitting down with a living legend, laughing comfortably while asking questions that seem to always bring out the best of everyone he interviews. Rick has earned so much respect (very well deserved) from artists of every caliber and taste. Thank you once again Rick. I learn something with everything you put out there for all of us, and it comes from your heart without asking for a single thing from us followers on You Tube.🎸🎹🎼🎶
    1
  6906. I see why I like you as much as I do Rick ....you were raised by beautiful human beings like Penny. A great loss for all of us human beings when someone like that leaves our time and space....whoever is lucky enough to encounter her energy in her next stop is in for a blessing. GOD Speed Penny

  6907. Some kid somewhere in the world is listening and watching Ricks Video. He/She can’t go to music school for one reason or another but has music buzzing in their head and needs to get it out onto a format. But hasn’t the necessary expertises to do so. He needs the likes of Rick to show him. That kid could be the next John Lennon, Elton John, Cole Porter. Or even Beethoven. The record copyright owners are very short sighted in calling down the likes of Rick and the inspiration he gives. He can only do this by dissecting known works. In a college there is no problem in doing what he is doing. Why not here. These kids are the future of the music industry.
    1
  6908. Happy 250th to one the masters... really loved the video Rick! The imitation of Beethovens hearing was fascinating!
    1
  6909. I think this might be one of my fave videos. Pure truth. You’ll get out of it what you put into it. The “it” is irrelevant.
    1
  6910. Saying "How would I know if it's out of tune, I've never heard this song," is like saying "How would I know if the camera is out of focus, I've never seen this movie before."
    1
  6911. The kind of interview with an artist of this statue only You can make. Do more of these please… (Martin Gore would be great)
    1
  6912.  @RickBeato  now someone needs to write a tune in homage to cheesecake.
    1
  6913. The great thing about Rick’s conversations is at some point the subject sounds like the music fan they used to be before they got into the industry. You’re a great equaliser Rick.(Parametric probably analogue most definitely)
    1
  6914. This has to be insulting to all of these artists as he dissects and recreates everything that they do after 1.3 seconds.
    1
  6915. after a few weeks of rehabilitation you'll feel like new, as we often see with our patients, and a new career is ahead of you. get well soon and much success in your personal life and your work (a music-loving surgeon from algeria).

  6917. Never cared much for Frampton until this ,,,, before I listened but wasn't really listing,,,, this was in friggin unbelievable and no one does it like you do thanks so much
    1
  6918. LOL Rick has and uses Pro Tools for ONE example, and he knows it inside and out to the point he can explain it to a baby. So yes, Beatto does understand technology. Don't be ignorant and start paying attention to the man. I am a lifelong musician (performing harmonica, drums, vocals and guitar on stage since I was 7 y/o) and I'm 52 now, so there. Rick Beatto has unlocked doors to music that I never either knew where there or sometimes even existed in insightful and entertaining ways Rick, you are musical genius and an excellent communicator. TY Rick. I'm a fan for sure. Now let's journey some more music.

  6919. The O.G. channel 2 hangouts were the best time.

  6920. I’ve been a silent long time subscriber (since the early days on the piano), and have seen this venture blossom, cheering it on every step of the way. But this video compelled me to speak up. It is the mark of a very decent human being to be charitable when destiny smiles. Admittedly Mr. Mearns is more than deserving, but please keep using the Force for good, by bringing similar under-appreciated artists to your not inconsiderable audience. I’ve been thinking for quite some time about the strange “secret society” of Bach fans, with no real organisation or VIP benefits to speak of, just a profound connection to likeminded souls and a genuine delight in sublime centuries old intellectual gymnastics. It is the strangest thing. Comments sections on the Internet are generally a poisonous cesspit, but when Bach is involved, it seems to be almost universally positive and civil.
    1
  6921. And here he comes ... Seal! This is one of the best video in this magical series by Rick!
    1
  6922. I had to watch 8 minutes only then to find out that I could have left the comment at the beginning... You should have said that first, now I'm too late to comment.
    1
  6923. Can't wait to see you in LA.
    1
  6924. So grateful for finding this channel, I’m hearing music for whatever reason I’ve missed, it’s so exciting to know that I’ve got great stuff to catch up on! Thank you Rick for another masterclass!

  6925. Damn that Dream Theater track now makes me want to go back and listen to that album :)

  6927. What happend with the video Rick? You frezzed and then it stoped!!

  6928. Dear Rick, could you please debunk all of the bollocks on the internet. You are a star.

  6929. Cripes, Rick has to be the best music interviewer ever. So well done.

  6930. Aside from all the great material here... The fact that people just got that Aadd4 FOR FREE is insanity!!!??!!!

  6931. Rick, this might be a bit lengthy, but I hope you read it. Even if you don't, I want to note down my respect for you in here. I'm sure there are many others who think like me. I may not know how long I've been following you, but your work is a constant topic among my musician friends and me. If they haven't heard of you, I make it a point to introduce and recommend your work. I'm a 48-year-old family business consultant, but I've played guitar since my childhood, and now my young daughter is growing up to be a musician. I share what I've learned from you with her as well. Here's what I want to say: you are among the most knowledgeable, incessantly learning, and practicing individuals I've ever encountered. You're on my list of role models. In my opinion, you've rightfully earned your place among the great rock legends. I sincerely hope you'll be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame one day - an honor you deserve more with each passing day. Your contributions to music are indescribably significant and beyond any dispute. Why am I writing this message now? In this video, you're talking about your efforts to improve in your work. I'm aware that being a YouTuber is neither your primary profession nor the one you've practiced the longest. Yet in whatever you do, you strive for excellence, which is evident - most of your videos are practically flawless, much like how almost every Toto album feels like a ‘Best of Toto’ compilation. These attributes not only earn you tremendous respect from millions but also inspire someone like me, a family business consultant. We love you, Rick. Rock on, rock hard.

  6932. 17 minutes wasted.... this is why this canned genre of music will not age well. Boring!
    1
  6933. Just wanted to say keep.up the great work man. I love every single one of your videos
    1
  6934. Rick, are you kidding me? This blew my mind. You are a messiah of rock music, period. On a different note, how about some more metal?
    1
  6935. Rick thank you for covering Joni and Hejira specifically ... love your breakdowns and I feel you on not knowing how to present her, but you nailed it...
    1
  6936. Picture it... Bernard Purdie on the bus with his drums!

  6937. What I wouldn't give to be a 20 something cruising around while have Rick rides shotgun controlling the tape deck/Cd player.

  6938. I teach many a private Music lesson to Fairport kids. Still a jewel in the crown of Monroe County school Music programs! BTW: I gig with Joe Chiappone all the time with Prime Time Funk. I know you two are friends.

  6941. RICK: BEST INTERVIEW EVER. how is it possible that I have never heard of this awesome man...thank you. ❤
    1
  6942. This is, in fact, one of the best interviews/song-dismantle-explenations i´ve ever seen. It´s actually immaculate. Well done my good sir!
    1
  6943. Nice Rick... nice get! You got more out of Sting than I have seen in years. Coming from theory angle right off the bat made the dude think "OK, I'm surprised." I just saw Sting in Vegas. Had a backstage pass with a friend. Dom came over and we were chatting it up... great dude. Then a "check" on the bucket list hit the box was marked of..., Sting came over to talk to us for 5 mins. His demeanor exact same as the interview... chill but commanding. Now seeing this is a real button on my last 30 days. The reason I play music and make a living at it is because of this man and Stewart. Thank you Rick. If you ever make it to Yosemite, I live just down the road... dinner is on me.

  6948. Perfect Rick. Beck, Holdsworth & Zappa on the 3 First places is just perfect. Nothing else to say.
    1
  6949. Nice use of triads and hitting the 7th and 11th- I go nuts for some of the use of 4ths arrpegiarion in Wayne shorters’ tunes- but in this case seems more about interjecting connected triads. Very cool rhythm and great phrasing as you said- great tune wonderful pick Rick
    1
  6950. This video proves why Rick gets the most views. Total out of left field topic and humbling. And yes the amp setting are perfect.
    1
  6951. Rick - we're getting old. Rolling Stone is now run by millennials. They don't know about all these guys we love. "Of All Time" means after 2010.

  6952. I am not a musician (although I played the alto saxophone in band in late grade school and early high school). Glad I pursued engineering as I would not have survived in music. Although I did not play music, I have always enjoyed it and have listened carefully when a favorite song or group played. I lean more toward rock, blues and jazz but listen to other genres when the tune strikes me. I came across your channel on YouTube as I listen to music there at times and the algorithm suggested I take a listen to one of your postings. At first, I thought this was only for an accomplished musician as detail of chord progressions and isolated tracks were clearly explained. But as I watched and listened more to "What Makes This Song Great" and many other of your presentations. I found I was able to discover WHY I enjoyed certain songs and music. Now I enjoy the song or music even more knowing the elements which encompass the richness of the performance by the artists. Thank you for what you do -- and maybe I will find that olde alto and start to play a tune of my own. But I will keep it down so the neighbors will survive.
    1
  6953. Why Rick is different? He listens, honestly , and listening is a art and a few people can do it. This man deserve respect.
    1
  6954. Derek trucks is amazing and your interview skills are by far one of the best. You can see the artists that are pure music likes to do them with you because you know what you talking about. I hate this time where there are way to much people on places they dont know anything about and want us to listen and take serius politics people on tv etc..... this is why i love youtube wel done!!
    1
  6955. Rick, per your request, I'm just letting you know I watched the entire video to the end, haha! Nicely done
    1
  6956. Was happy to see U2 on the Joshua Tree tour and never see them ever again. Prety much lost them after Rattle and Hum. Edit; Adam Clayton was one of the guys that inspired me to play bass. Probably somewhere between War and The Unforgettable Fire. Tree solidified what bass should feel like for me personally. Warm, full, subtle, present, humble, hopeful, driving. Super underrated player imo.
    1
  6957. Rick, just excellent work on probably the most unique rock song of our time.. I literally watched this video 3-4 times in an attempt to understand all the levels of this song and your breakdown.. masterful.. what an honor to do so while interviewing a legend. Made me a solid subscriber to your channel.
    1
  6958. Wanna know what I dig about your channel? It's like one of my best friends is a musical genius but still loves to sit and play records because the magic and fun is still there. You know all the secrets and can analyze literally every single note but for you the magic and fun is still there. Thanks for all you share and do to keep music exploration alive and fun and magical.
    1
  6959. Just brilliant, that's how to conduct an interview. Learnt more about Rick Wakeman here than I have in the past 40 years. Thank you Rick Beato!
    1
  6960. How do you top sting? With 100 minutes of toppest-tier gold members of the Seattle scene. Stories,memories and feeling that have never came out anywhere before. New stuff after 40 years when we thought we would never get anything fresh again. Guys just basically free riffing on the whole deal. I am just elated. As soon as I saw this and it registered what this actually was I knew all my plans for this night are canceled. Grab guitar and sit on couch with these guys. I can never thank you enough for this Rick.
    1
  6961. Sharing your loss. My mom died on 11/25, the day before Thanksgiving, as well. She was 81. Maybe my mom and your Aunt Penny took the same train to the afterlife. Took me a couple of tries before I could get through this video as it was probably the hardest comment I have ever written.

  6962. My dad wasn't a musician but loved Oscar Peterson. "Motions and Emotions" brings me back to my childhood.
    1
  6963. Rick, I know the quad well. Was there in 1972-73 in Igoe Hall. (304A) Loved Fredonia, studied under Percussionist Theodore Frazier. The snowfalls were magical, coming across the commons in the quad.

  6964. Oh heck, God forbid an actual musician doesn't like your favorite movie. He's allowed to say he's not into it from the first impression

  6966. Very interesting conversation! This made my day!

  6967. This is defenitely no guitar channel... best musician channel ever! Love this all-embracing attitude, Rick!

  6968. kind of ironic, as your channel is a pretty deep well too on some long nights ;) thanks so much for the recommendation!

  6969. Rick you may have had several careers most most folk do myself included but first and foremost you are a talker and a very good one and folk listen when you talk.I'm irish and we know how to tell a tale or two so take it from me you can communicate with such passion n gusto thats what grabs people ,keep up the good work.
    1
  6970. @Rick Beato It would be amazing if you commented on these metal songs……they are a bit old but GOLD. DEATH - Flattening of Emotions CYNIC - Evolutionary Sleeper OPETH - Ghost of Perdition BOLT THROWER - The IVth Crusade OBSCURA - Akróasis
    1
  6971. That room is a sterile mess, Rick. You liked that other room with the brick walls because it's has an industrial vibe. Paint the walls, trim and doors ALL RED if you're going to keep the couch and chairs. Throw those amps, drums and guitars all around the room so that it has the same studio look as your actual studio where you do the bulk of your videos. Bet you got some old psychedelic posters you could put up, or maybe get an artist to make a large collage of your favorite albums covers. Maybe the whole wall is a collage. Think outside the box on art. And dear god! get rid of that tiny turntable thing on the coffee table, puleeze! Unless it works and you'll use it in an interview, then I guess, but otherwise it needs to go. You're going to interview important people in that room and it needs to cool and comfortable. Peace.

  6972. I can prove this - I run a music education software company and i just checked the stats of 15,000+ students only 2000 have every practiced thats 13% - so rick is right. 87% of students DO NOT practice between lessons.

  6973. Rick Beato is a bridge across generations.

  6974. and now Rick is going to change my life

  6975. Best video ever made . Thank you Rick . Maybe a whole YouTube channel just dedicated to Swervedriver 🙏🏻🙏🏿🙏🏾🙏🏼

  6976. Every once in awhile, the internet redeems itself. This video is stunning.
    1
  6977. I have to admit, I really, REALLY dislike this song. I hated the overdriven overly crunchy distortion, which made the whole song sound sloppy. I hate the marble-mouth vocals, which just added to the impression of sloppiness. it just had a number of the things that I peeve about. However, having heard a few covers (The Bad Plus, for one), I did start to realize the genius behind all of that. And Rick here has definitely helped to further rehabilitate the song in my mind. There's no question that there's an intuitive musical genius behind the song, even if I won't ever be a fan personally.
    1
  6978. Here i am again! Because is a great song ! 😎
    1
  6979. Subscribed… and dinged 😎 I really enjoy listening to your breakdowns of songs. You get so excited and your enthusiasm is contagious and your understanding of song crafting and producing is fascinating to me. I’ve been writing songs since I was 14 years old. To make an incredibly long story short… at the ripe age of 63 I’m finally on the cusp of releasing my first solo project of all original material. Given my age and the music industry being what it is… I know what I am up against in terms of my project ending up like many others you describe as collecting ‘digital dust’. I keep hoping the music will speak for itself and find it’s’niche’ … stranger things have happened right? Looking forward to hearing more from your channel. Good, interesting, quality content. I’ve always played by ear and the nuts & bolts of music theory has always baffled and confused me. I can hear it all in my head but I can’t explain it but… I work with really good people who can… and sometimes I feel as though my lack of proper training has given me some freedom as a songwriter to think and hear outside the box so-to-speak. But I have great respect and admiration for those who have dedicated their 10,000+ hours to mastering their instruments of choice and lend wind to my sails… kudos for the work you do. 👏👍❤️
    1
  6980. You know how all roads lead to Rome? All youtube leads to Rick. If I let youtube choose the next video in about 2 or 3 videos I'll be watching a long form interview on Beato's channel, and that is a lovely thing.

  6981. My eyes and ears were literally glued to the screen the whole time. Camera work is great. Feels like your right there.

  6982. I've had this thought twice today, your video being what brought it up again. Casey Niestat once did a video showing how he played a small role in a Hollywood style movie. His observation was interesting, How he didn't want to be a part of Hollywood. At first glance your thoughts were about what it is to be a movie director, but what was actually being referred to was simply.....YouTube is better. Better for you. And in our case...Better for us because we get to watch your videos.

  6983. Also how does Sting look 40 years old? He’s gotta be older than that!!

  6984. ...And that's what makes this song great... is that all? Holy smoke, I ❤ how you break down the music and explain it. You can like a song but this is incredibly more complex... wow! that keyboard solo was INSANE... I could have never imagined it without this video. Thanks thanks thanks so much!!! P.S. The Copyright people at YT should go to YOUR school to learn why this is a valuable music resource... clearly cannot be the intention to take down such high-quality educational content, I hope you get your videos restored soon. Best wishes, BTW: I bought your book and ear training courses and hope to learn a lot!

  6994. This is the second time I have watched one of your videos , and I'm wondering where have I been. Your content is great. This one is special and your aunt was clearly a great and special person. Im So sorry for your loss.

  6995. THIS is a treasure for all kinds of music lovers. Thank you Rick.

  6996. YES, finally some screen-time for my fellow Danish bass-player. May you rest in peace, giant! Thanks Rick.

  6997. this sounds so good on headphones. the sense of space is huge. the drums are mixed so well, and the guitar panning gives dynamic sense of depth. the rhythm guitar is often hard panned L and R and lead guitar riffs are often sucked into the center... great engineering on this song.
    1
  6998. Great interview. Rick Beato is the dream interviewer. He has intimate knowledge of the artist's work and what will interest the listeners. Also, he knows when to let the interviewee run with the story. Add a musician with such an interesting career, and the hour and a half fly by. You could call Rick Beato the Joe Rogan of musician interviews.

  6999. Thanks for sharing your disability with us, that’s so generous of you and will really encourage anyone that doesn’t learn in a conventional way or may be has dyslexia or similar condition. You’re a Top Bloke as we would say in Eastend of London.

  7000. Ha! Pat mentioned me. I bought Bright Sized Life from the beginning. I'm Australian. So, I figure I must have been the one Australian he mentioned. Though, a mate of mine bought all his records, as well.

  7003. Rick Thanks for this transparent explanation. Your guitar solo was awesome. No need to apologize. I've always been interested in your YouTube's but now I feel like I understand more of where you are coming from. I'm a bigger fan now than ever.

  7004. What changed?? Page call you up and said "All sorted mate... love to hear your take on our music... put it back up and apologies for the block"?

  7005. Hey Rick, thought of one more for the list - Foreigners debut album. How would you rank this album?
    1
  7006. This interview is a gift, Rick. I've seen several of your videos and you're a thoughtful person in speaking on music. Tori Amos' music came into my life at a terrible time and saved me from darkness, anchored me really. She is a tremendous artist and also so very kind. Like her band collaborations, you gave her freedom to speak, to "jam". I've only seen a few interviewers do it, but when it happens, she's so thoughtful and incredible to listen to. Twenty six years a fan, and heard new insights today. Thank you <3

  7008. It’s like being a mechanic and you buy that one specialty tool for that job and after you do that one job it sits in your roll away and you never see that car again. Rick I’ve been a mechanic for 36 years technically and at 51 my body is letting me know I’m not cut out for this anymore. No young folks want to get their hands dirty. I know the feeling you are talking about.

  7010. What a great video, Rick. But then again, all your videos are great. Just a thought, but, since you are originally from Rochester NY, I was wondering if you thought about doing a video on the city, since there have been many famous musicians from the city (Steve Gadd, Lou Gramm, Joe English, Chuck Mangione, Phil Naro etc), some great live music venues (Orange Monkey, Red Onion, Penny Arcade) and of course, the Eastman School of Music (Tony Levin), I played in a band that was formed in Rochester in the 70's and have great memories of the music scene. Just a thought......

  7011. Dear Rick, come to visit Vienna, THE CITY OF CLASSICAL MUSIC!!!! I invite you fo bed and breakfast for 2 or 3 days and I help you with filming and organizing to visit all traces of those great musicians like Beethoven, Mozart, Haydn, Schubert, and there are even more! It would be an honor to help you, because your channel is my daily TV and it means a lot to me! This I would love to give you back! Send me an answer here and show me where to reach you! THX! Regards Malte

  7013. Rick really takes time and tries to understand the personality of his guest so he knows how much to say to ignite their natural desire to share, then he steps back and encourages silently. That’s his true skill. It allows them to share what’s interesting to them and invariably leads to personal anecdotes you wouldn’t hear through direct questioning, leading to a richer discussion. Many interviewers might instead want to share what they know, how they played with the same artists, or used the same gear and know its history, or anything else that breaks the flow coming from the guest. It’s about knowing not when not to talk rather than saying a lot, for an interviewer. Another masterclass, in more ways than one.

  7014. Hi Rick. Great video. I want to say that you are one of the few YouTube channels who has incredible audio quality in the video. Your voice sounds very ‘real’ with a little bit reverberation. I always watch YT videos with my AKG studio headphone. Great 👍 job!
    1
  7015. I absolutely did not have a free hour to watch this....but it's Jerry Cantrell. So I told my plans they were no longer happening. Then I got a glass of chocolate milk, a pack of strawberry poptarts, a les paul, and started the video. Thank you for your time, Jerry! I'll see you on tour for the new record when you come through Portland, OR.

  7016. Layla perfectly described the feeling you get from the music!!!

  7017. Rick, I know that you might hear this a lot, but anyway .. Thank You from the bottom of my heart, Thank you. The service you're making to the music, and bringing it to newer audiences is amazing. This interviews are joyful, you're an amazing Interviewer. You're the greatest! Again Thank you!!!

  7024. Is this the best episode of Rick Beato ever? I’m not saying it is. But it is.

  7025. This is insane! If you had asked me who I wanted you to interview next, like, for my birthday or something, I would have said al Di Meola! Thank you, Rick!

  7028. Long time viewer, first time commenting - GREAT video!

  7029. They'll be watching this in 100 years, Rick. The best thing you've ever done and a part of music history. Watching Keith react to his performance of Solar... no words.

  7030. Rick, you've done it. This is the video that's changed my opinion of Tim - the cat is a lot more down to earth here than I've seen in just about every other media I've seen of him. I'll stop being so damn hard on the guy.

  7034. Rick, I wish I could meet up with you one day and spend all day talking music. I want to shake your hand and thank you for all the amazing content you put out into the world over the years! From one music lover to another, I salute you sir!

  7035. I guess people didn’t see those awesome videos where Rick recreates the instrumental parts on songs from scratch so accurately that they get copyright claims 😂

  7036. This conversation should be published as a book....

  7037. I didn't know that Rick could play guitar. Sorry, this was a comment for a previous video. 😂

  7038. What's frustrating about these interviews is that... there is so much more I WANT to know! Often an aside to the main story gets cutoff (not out of malice or pacing, just to kind of keep on point) and I just want to know every single aspect of these dues lives at the time. Beato interview style is amazing as he just throws out a question, and sits back and just soaks it all in! A very good trait for a historian! Man this was such a treat...

  7041. What a lovely lady your Aunt Penny was, and she was so right about music! Every time I watch your channel Rick, it always strikes a chord, I believe because music means as much to me as it does to you and as it did to Aunt Penny. I Praise God, and give thanks for your Aunt Penny! She will always be special, and a great inspiration to all who knew her! Thanks for sharing these very special moment Rick! Every blessing to you and your family at this very sad time. My sincere condolences to you and the family, may you know God's peace and blessing as you give thanks for her life, and come to terms with her passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you all!

  7042. The best entertainment/infotainment on the internet is this channel. I love it :-) Thanks Mr. Beato

  7043. Rick, I know how much of a hero Pat has always been to you. Kudos to you that Pat has an appreciation for what you are doing and is contributing to your mission to meaningfully explore how it all works. And how amazing that you guys get to sit down and have an intimate conversation and that you are able to share it!

  7048. Spending my life as a blues/rock guitarist and singer, I never got into Jazz, using all the stereotypes (four people soloing at the same time etc. etc.) but this channel, along with my wife's grandfather who was a successful Jazz musician in London in the 60s, has really help with my re-education! I've seen a few Oscar Peterson performances now, and wow, seriously... just wow. Keep 'em coming Rick :-)

  7052. I don't normally comment on your videos but I really wanted to say you are really doing amazing things for people on YouTube. I'm 25 and was a "disturbed teen" I guess and music quite literally saved my life. I didn't start playing music until early March of 2019 but I was raised in a bluegrass family of several generations. I played drums in middle school but pretending to not care about learning music was my way of rebelling against my dad.. After he died I started saving up for a guitar and then a banjo. Anyways, I really really appreciate these videos, especially the videos on theory. Thank you.

  7058. This is the best video I’ve ever seen on YouTube.

  7059. The heavy use of autotuning (and its ilk) has conditioned music consumers to accept these kinds of "heavily processed" vocals. There's very little difference between that and these new AI-generated vocals. (Or, to put it another way: we've been hearing "incredible simulations" of singers' voices for decades now. The only difference is, now the singers don't need to be involved at all.)

  7060. It sounds like sometimes Eno would mute certain bass notes. You can still kind of hear them in the room bleed.
    1
  7061. I watch your videos now and then if the subject catches me. This video hit me in a different way. I tried to to play bass many years ago when I was in the Navy as a way to see if I could make it as a musician but it was not to be. I stayed in the culinary field and became a chef but still love music in it's many forms. So because of this video you now have a new subscriber. Keep the great work
    1
  7062. Unfortunately, musicians with this kind of talent drowns in pointless generic studio written pop and Spotify algorythms. A kid today will never find this on his/her own. I you start a new Spotify/Apple music account today you will be guided to the top 50 charts and algorythms will keep you there. It will nevere suggest jazz, rock, metal or anything other than generic pop. Luckily we have channels like this to open our ears to new (old) and great music. That’s public service👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

  7067. Beato is like the new Rollingstone. Except better. Because he actually mentors musicians...

  7068. If I had to choose between having Rick Beato but not the rest of Youtube, or the rest of Youtube but not Rick Beato, I'd choose Rick. Thank you, love all your series: interviews, theory, breakdowns, top 20s and so on.

  7069. Every great Holdsworth lick consists of three parts or acts. The first part is called "The Pledge." Alan shows you something ordinary: a few notes, a bend, or some vibrato. He shows you this scale. Perhaps he asks you to inspect it to see if it is indeed real, unaltered, normal. But of course... it probably isn't. The second act is called "The Turn." Alan takes the ordinary something and makes it do something extraordinary. Now you're looking for the secret... but you won't find it, because of course you're not really looking. You don't really want to know. You want to be fooled. But you wouldn't clap yet. Because making something disappear isn't enough; you have to bring it back. That's why every Holdsworth lick has a third act, the hardest part, the part we call "The Prestige."

  7070. The opposite of a PBS nostalgia, money grab rehash! The music and song are great, but even more important, the energy and exuberance of youth, tempered with the wisdom of many years down the road. OK, 90s yes, but hermetically sealed on Funk and Wagnalls porch, reconstituted and as live and fresh as all get-out!

  7071. Hey Rick, I am the guy that gave you the thumbs up at the entrance of the grocery store the other night. Hopefully someday I will get the chance to actually to talk to you. Happy Thanksgiving!

  7074. I have watched and enjoyed many of your videos, Rick. I’ve recently come to realize why I like and appreciate them so much. I’m a huge Ted Greene fan and you, because of your vast theoretical knowledge and ability to explain that knowledge in a relatively simple way, are a more modern day version of Ted. I’m not referring to your playing style because you almost don’t have a single style. But, like Ted, your musical knowledge is wonderfully vast and your ability to make it easily understandable is top-notch. I’m not saying you play or sound like Ted (only Tim Lerch can do that!) but the way you teach reminds me of his methods. Thanks for all you do.

  7087. It is soo great to have this series built on the love of the Art. The one thing i noticed in the song was the quality of taking a breath between solo sections and how it just contains the power of every note when given the silence to make them special. Keep up the great appreciation Rick ! onto 101 !!!

  7090. Same in the publishing industry, Rick. Publishers won’t even look at an author unless they have a platform. They want you to sell your books so they can take 95% of the money.

  7091. Great interview Rick!! My favorite so far. Eric is such a chill guy and I found his stories and views so entertaining and inspirational. Started messin' around with those chords he played immediately...very cool.
    1
  7092. Rick you are a renaissance man. The painting in the background is Rembrandt. You should check out painters from the Hudson River school...Cole, Church.... I have that same Pat Metheny album. My first was Meet the Beatles I got as a kid from a drug store. I like your kitchen spigot...magic! Maybe the antidote to crappy quantized(?) music is to seek out live music in smaller venues. One good thing about Spotify/Apple music is you can research and then dive deeper into the music and genres that you do like. I discovered the Peanut Butter Conspiracy, Sweetwater, the West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band and We Five that way.

  7093. Rick is a cagey interviewer. He knows his people and how to draw them out. Very impressed.

  7097. Hey Rick, just wanted to say thank you for all the amazing content you make, just by absorbing from you knowledge i can say that I become a better musician, your channel is by far my favorite thing on youtube these days, love from Israel. BTW still waiting for that Mr.Bungle What makes this song great ever since your video with Synyster Gates.

  7098. Beato, youre the best thing that has happened to YouTube. Thanks for all you do.

  7099. Man Rick, you're crushing it with the content lately. What an extremely important person for history. People deserve their flowers while they're here to smell them, so this is nice to see.

  7100. Man I love this channel....I love it when Rick rants...

  7101. This was awesome!!! Now I have a powerful resource tool to use to explain how artists today do not have the ability like the artists from before digital recording. The artists had to do it for real each time.

  7102. So great to see one of the unsung heroes of audio get some limelight. As someone who does some small-scale live sound work (and church sound), I loved how technical and detailed this got. Who else is doing this kind of interview? Thank you, Rick! And thank you, Dave, for sharing so much great info in such a fun way. —Tom

  7105. One of the best things about your channel is the breadth. I'm near your age, and been through a fair amount the last couple years, and decided to go back into classical music research, and been finding much to enjoy and appreciate and learn. This will def be one thing to add to it all. Maybe you could talk about Horowitz the pianist also. He was a great one.

  7108. I'm Cumming on 73 years of age, no musical talent except that I've always loved great music no matter what genre it is, from day one of CDs I told people how they lacked the detail sound of vinyl to my ears and got dismissed as wrong time and again, and it took many years before I started hearing how maybe I wasn't so wrong, it's always lonely to not go along with the popular trend. So to my not so professional ears the V30s had a fuller ranged clean sound, the G12s less range and muffled, thank you and good job on the videos.

  7110. Hello Rick, sorry to say I can't watch your videos anymore, and it's not your fault. I understand that you have no control over how many ads play through your videos, but when YouTube is constantly interrupting the viewing (and listening) experience by running a barrage of ads at intervals that feels like every other minute, it turns all of your hard work into an exercise in frustration. It's a really bummer since I love your insight and I think you're one of the best contributors to music analysis on YouTube. It's a damn shame that this is the way YouTube has become.

  7111. Saw Bill Tiberio the other week and he was mostly concerned that I (at 47 years) am still playing guitar. I said yes, but told him I have added drumming to my skills.

  7112. All the money and fame in the world can’t deliver the type of positive legacy and values you’ll leave behind for your children, extended family and subsequent generations by bringing this story full circle (despite having to be nudged a little 😉). Well done, sir …
    1
  7113. My condolences Rick. I lost my sister Kitty on March 18th she was 38 & truly loved music from slow & mellow to loud & super fast, so I can certainly relate to your deep emotional loss, it's been a hell of a year to say the least.

  7114. How about: "I can't even go on the internet, without ALWAYS checking your name."? The song I wish I could rewrite is Dolly Parton's Jolene. How about: "I can easily understand how you could SIMPLY take my man"

  7115. Crazy. It's like a hit song made from the Abersold All the Things in all 12 keys.

  7116. Never been a fan of U2, but I guess I might have been missing out!

  7117. It's very puzzling that anybody would give any of Rick's lessons a thumbs down.... To the 27 dopes....please go AWAY! Thanks Rick, Excellent stuff as ALWAYS!!!

  7118. It means a lot that behind the plain numbers near your avatar are people whose lives influenced you and thus all of us here. Even my commentary will be one of a thousand, but I still write it, because of pure feelings I have. I hope this energy of mine will reach you through any possible ways in this universe. Let's listen to the song, which we all know was written because people love each other more than hate.

  7122. I am glad I'm one of your subscribers and always look forward to your posts. I don't know a lick of music but you've made me open my eyes and ears to various songs and music and has given me a better understanding of what I am listening to! Really opened my mind, the way to listen to music! Thanks so much, time to start supporting your channel !!!

  7123. This is like when I watched Shawshank Redemption the first time. I couldn’t stop watching afraid of missing something. Fascinating interview. It’s Christopher Cross listening binge now! 😁

  7124. Dang Rick, that discussion will go down in history! Keep on keeping on Brother ✌🏻🤘
    1
  7125. Haha! The video title is enticing, much like a tabloid or broadsheet headline that stirs interest. Getting used to this kind of "trap", I took the plunge believing its context is something positive. YouTube algorithm brought me here early 2021, and this channel become one of reasons why I decide to be a Premium subscriber so to get rid of annoying ads as one of features here is gaining climax. As some of prior releases, this feature brought me another lesson in life, and how to make it fruitful and significant while we are still around (while people I've known, close and acquaintance, have left). Thank you again for the shared insights and tidbits that sparks personal realizations. God willing, may I able to meet you in person (Sir Rick). ^^

  7126. Rick is not telling me what is great or what sucks. He accepts excellence and innovation or disobedience and discord...as long as it has artistic value. He identifies what is unique, he isolates what moves a song forward, he clarifies how compositional elements expand our emotional connection to a song. But what he achieves beyond all else, and what delivers the greatest value to his audience, is the uninhibited communication of his pure love for music. This is not a show. This is a human being marveling at the beauty of our amazing potential to create.

  7127. i just think rick what you are doing with your channel is so important and grafical for musicians and for future musicians all your interviews shoud be in the itsmasonian museum cungrats

  7128. such a great youtube channel Rick!

  7129. This is what YouTube is for

  7130. Rick, you're a really great interviewer. It's not about you, it's about them. I love how you just guide the flow of the river. They love it too, which is why they are comfortable. Great channel. Love you're stuff!
    1
  7131. Hi Rick, I'm new to your channel, so to speak. Whenever I see your channel on YTube, I always check it. I appreciate the passion and yes, your tutelage about music, and the great time and effort you put into your videos. You've given me a new appreciation of music and the musicians who create great songs. And, I just wanted to say a simple "thank you!"
    1
  7132. I'll watch Rick interview anyone
    1
  7133. I think Rick does these top 20 videos because he just wants to play their covers with his friends 🙂

  7134. Rick, it' videos like this that keep me coming back your show.

  7135. I love this man I mixed on a Yamaha PM1000 16 channel board for a club cover band in the 80's with all JBL and Crown PA hardware I could listen to him for hours. P.s. Love your Channel

  7136. So Rick posted this video 2 days ago and it's already got 847 280 views! Wow :)

  7138. It's my birthday today Rick, and this really is an amazing unexpected gift! THANK YOU! Been a huge fan of Joes for years and its stuff like this that never gets old!

  7139. Rick is the Dick Cavett of musician interviewers. Long form, nuanced and densely packed with intrigue and insight.

  7140. I'm not a big fan of Paul Simon but I'm a fan of Rick's rants!! 👏👏👏
    1
  7141. Love that “if I’m interviewing someone, it’s about them not me”. So many music interviewers in YT get this WRONG. Not Rick 😎
    1
  7142. Rick Beato!!! Have you ever heard the progband KAIPA, for example the album "SATTYG" ? It's a swedish band with amazing musician's, among them is also Morgan Ågren on drums. Please check them out and have a listen, and please analyse them. It's an incredible joy for my ears. You will agree i think 👌 Take care! Don't forget "KAIPA" Regards Mats
    1
  7143. Hey Rick, I agree with you 100% I am a performing and session guitarist in my 70's. Many of my sessions are for are younger singer songwriters/bands and I am afraid to say, most rely on us older experienced folks in the studio to do all the hard lifting, and their final product is all on the back of our decades of passion and dedication. Of course, I was in the hands of experienced folks when my early bands when we went into the studio, but we all took an interest in the entire process. These days all I get is " you can fix it, send it to me when you have finished" That said, manufacturing pop stars is nothing new, it's just that technology has now become everybody's very affordable 'Wrecking Crew". I taught guitar for over 25 years, during which period I had about 50 students a week. I can count on one hand the number of those who were serious about mastering their instrument.

  7149. I love this video! I don’t usually comment but I just had to let you know you should keep doing these 👍

  7150. Amazing interview as usual, can someone help me with the name of the other 2 guitarist that Dave named ? , Jeff, Eddie and who else ? thank you in advance. Keep it going Rick !!! Music Fans will treasure this interviews forever

  7151. No one should have to Wonder why i have been a Subscriber to Ricks Channel for Years!!! By Far The Best Thing to ever Hit YouTube! Thank You Rick😉

  7152. I almost never post comments on YouTube, but this really was something. One of the most wonderful items I’ve seen. Thank you, both of you.
    1
  7153. You're true to yourself and that's part of what I love from your channel, the other part I really love is that you are a musician...a musician for real! Btw...when you spoke about all the things that will never ever be in your life I felt extremely sad...for me!!! 😞 But I'm happy that you're happy doing videos...please don't stop! 🤘💜

  7154. Thanks!

  7158. Absolutely valuable for bass players.

  7159. IMO Rick's channel is the best thing on youtube. This interview is an example of why. Thank you for this Mr. Beato.
    1
  7160. Wow, I had no idea Rick did interviews.
    1
  7161. This video made me really happy...the dinner with Jodi Mitchell, the amusing Seinfeld-esque anecdotes, the podcast with Eric Weinstein, and the artists who are supporting your work. Thanks!
    1
  7162. Big ups to you Rick!👍🏽I have been teaching my students chord progressions for over 25 plus years. Fantastic video 👏
    1
  7163. I'm about to retire and plan to spend more time watching your channel. I enjoy every video I watch. And if Gilmour's reading this, you should give Mr. Beato a little bit of your time. Would be priceless to your fans.
    1
  7164. The only reason that YouTube is worth its salt: music. The only reason YouTube is SPECIAL, is Rick Beato!
    1
  7165. Loved this. Can't help thinking it was an axcuse to show off some of your AWESOME guitar collection, but I don't mind that. I'll never be able to own anything like those beautiful machines so have to vicariously enjoy them through you. Thanks Rick.
    1
  7166. Hey Rick being a fan of Pat Metheny, there was very little good videos on his style BUT then I found your video 'The Guitar Style of Pat Metheny Part 1 "The Early Years"'. That was 8 years ago and been a fan since. Your knowledge, facility and teaching are excellent. The best youtube channel for the musician guitarist.
    1
  7167. Thanks Rick. This video made me cry. As a piano player, growing up with the Beatles was frustrating. Great music, but frustrating. When Elton John came along, things changed. The light bulb turned on in 1973 when I could play along with the entire "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" album. The chord progressions were clear to me for the first time. And the way Elton John wrote -- I could follow it with my ears and fingers. Shazam!
    1
  7168. This channel just keeps getting better and better.
    1
  7169. I love how Rick knows nothing of Stranger Things but knows everything about Kate Bush. You're the best, Rick!

  7170. Rick You are one of the golden YouTube channel creators Thanks for what you do. Aunt penny in our thoughts 😀
    1
  7171. The world is better after this interview. Many times I wonder how do those 60´s recorded basses sound so well... six months three hours every Saturday trying different mic positions with Mr. Gelder is quite a good answer.
    1
  7172. Rick, Dick Cavett was a great interviewer, but he played a far greater role in the interview than you do. If you were interviewing Oscar Petterson, I know you would have had Oscar doing a lot more talking, and we, the audience, would have learned a whole lot more about how and why he did what he did. Dick's job was to entertain as well as interview. That is not what you do. You coax detailed answers out of your subject and, if necessary, encourage them with follow-up questions to a desired end. I would rather listen to one of your interviews than Dicks, because I will learn more. Take the credit Rick, you are just a really good interviewer.
    1
  7173. You make up a lovely band, but Rick, can you please pass it on to the vocalist that his singing is sensational? Cheers
    1
  7174. Well done Mr Beato. I was taken by your video ‘The irrelevance of Classic Rock in the Era of Perfect Music’ mainly because it wasn’t a rant but rather it was a clear and humble explanation, particularly that the blockers are missing a golden opportunity to have their music exposed and explained in a knowledgeable and creative way. A way which could inspire people to listen to more of their music. Beatles and other blockers listen up it could be of great value to you too.
    1
  7175. Rick, I think you are not a you tuber, but, rather you are a creator of your art. Your videos come from inspiration within. Your videos are the same as when you are inspired to write a song. You are satisfying your own interests and then sharing them and many people like that. My opinion.
    1
  7176. Now you have got to get Molly Tuttle on the show.

  7177. Rick, so sorry for your loss. I lost my brother, age 68, to cancer on September 1st of this year. I feel your pain and loss and will keep you in my prayers.
    1
  7178. I don't think I could add anything that hasn't been already said in all the wonderful comments below. I'm glad to be part of this group of subscribers . A truly beautiful tribute,Rick.
    1
  7179. These modal sound videos are what originally got me onto your channel and I'm very happy to see you thinking about revisiting them. Do you have plans to get back into e.g. the modes of melodic/harmonic minor or is it just going to be a few highlights? I'm excited either way.
    1
  7180. Rick: There is a good chance you won't see my comment as I'm the 12,855 comment in the pile, but I needed to respond anyway. I never leave a comment, ever. Nowhere. This is out of character for me. However, I have been watching your shows for years now, I am a big, big fan of your lists but more importantly your "what makes this song so great". You certainly poised this video to end with your Aunt passing so as I feared, suspected, that would happen, I was watching the video at her house of you and her, enjoying the conversation that the two of you were having, that we had the privilege of watching. It was such a beautiful picture of love. When she put her head on your shoulder, when she told her stories (much better than you, I might add...) and you laughing the whole time. I was starting to tear up knowing what was coming... So, from a fan you have never met who lives on the other side of the continent, thank you for sharing this video. It has moved me to love more, to cherish the moments of the day, challenged me to not sweat the small stuff, and to keep playing music, even when I don't feel like I have the time. Thank you.

  7181. Me and my grandson are wearing our matching Buckethead t-shirts right now as we watch Rick!

  7182. I have been using 11s forever now just because of the feel. I have to say though, that Les Paul sounds best with .08 and .09 gauge.

  7183. Love your videos. Subscribed to your channel and bought all your stuff (Will start on it when I have time. Preparing for a big gig in Hawaii this summer). I'm the lead guitarist in a "yacht rock" band (The Yacht Rock Club).and you're right about "yacht rock." It's some of the best music ever played. Christopher Cross' solo in this song is AMAZING! Where do you get your tracks?
    1
  7184. Hey Rick! I just downloaded both ‘Bright Sized Life’ and Jaco’s LP on iTunes! Thanks for the Heads Up!!
    1
  7185. you gotta give credits to the people in japan for keeping that video, people from japan are very very cultured when it comes to music. in my personal experience as a kid living there, they teach you real music, and how to play it and actually enjoy it.
    1
  7186. Another great one! But Rick, it's either my headphones or there is some weird panning going on in this video. The songs are a bit too much in the left ear, the commentary is better balanced.

  7187. watched to the end

  7188. I work as a teacher for guitar, bassguitar and piano. Well, 100% is a bit exaggerated. For my students this is 99%

  7192. Bernard talking about getting in trouble in the past with some arrangers when he didn't agree with their arrangements reminded me of @Rick Beato interview with Ron Carter where Ron told an arranger (paraphrasing here) "Look, I'll play the ish you wrote until you can't stand listening to it anymore and then I'll play what the eff I was going to play". Though in Ron's case, I don't think he got into trouble :) Great interview Rick.

  7197. Actually, it doesn't matter if you like Tori or not. The thing is, it's an hour and a half of a wonderful conversation about music and magic. And that final, come on! Thank you, Rick, for what you're doing. Thank you, thank you, thank you so much.

  7198. Can't believe I sat through a 22 minute story. You, sir, ARE the most interesting man in the world.

  7200. Rick- as you know I’m far from a guitar player but MAN watching you guys hang and watching how SMART all of you are, your dedication to the craft, reading music, the mechanics of your instrument and music theory… mind blown AF. Classic.

  7206. Probably the interview that wasn’t on my hit list and became probably the best interview I have seen. Rick Beato you are a master interviewer, they say in music it’s about the notes you don’t play. This interview was about the questions you didn’t ask because you listen. Your never searching for that clever question your just inquisitive to what makes a moment tick your like a conductor that knows how to bring out the best from your guests. Beautiful Baden UK
    1
  7207. Rick your a real person besides your music I gave a lot of thumbs up to a lot of your stuff but never commented but this I’m sure really hit home to you and your family besides my reality and death never getting along together I can relate to your pain I’m so sorry for your loss

  7208. You totally rock...thank you for sharing...love you...💗💗💗

  7210. Rick, I think you may owe your brother some points for producer training.

  7211. No offense Mr Beato, but I watch more of your videos for personal advice than I do music advice. You must be one of the good guys! Thank you!

  7215. That was a beautiful tribute. My sincerest condolences. 50 years with MS. She was a strong woman. My mom dire fairly young from MS. She was tough too, but didn't fare as well. The memories and influence she had on you are precious. Thanks for all you do.

  7219. Im so sorry Rick. You are quite lucky in fact to have so many memories ... not all so lucky. You have made so many people happy and have many fans. Looks like Aunt Penny was your biggest fan :) Listen closely when the world gets stupid....you might just hear a distant piano to make you smile again.

  7222. Nice job Rick! You insightful analysis of music matters is always entertaining, enriching, and most of all satiating to the point of inculcation! Just beautiful man! I’m 73 and more lucid than ever. My secret?? Stay away from tap water!! Love ya! Keep up the great, great work! -Don

  7223. I love watching your videos because you love music, and nobody on youtube shows that love more than you do! But that's probably more about me than about you though...

  7224. I guess Keith has a very tight promotion schedule with the publishing of his new album. Most other interviewers would have no more than 10 minutes with him - if any.

  7229. "Don't be afraid to bark, you need to bark" - Aunt Penny; What a lovely video Rick! Thank you for sharing, especially during these dark times! I'm very sorry for your loss Rick. Sending love and positive vibes to the whole family.

  7230. One of your best videos so far. Very very intresting

  7231. Rick, when I was 15 in 1970 a family friend turned me on to the "Blue" album. It's been one of my all time favorites since. In 2014 I was street performing in Livermore, CA of all places and I heard an angelic voice to my left harmonizing with me. I turned to see Joni walking towards me with a big smile on her face. She didn't stop as she walked by and smiled as she dropped a 5 spot in my case. It seemed like no one else noticed who she was. She walked off swaying to the music as I continued singing I was thinking " What the hell just happened?". Oddly, some of my most profound experiences with great artists have been while street performing.
    1
  7232. Rick you are helping the world learn and appreciate music in ways that no one else is doing. A thank you is not enough. I tell everyone that I know about your channel.
    1
  7233. I was watching this video with my 8yo son, denying him his usual gaming-garbage telling him now it’s time to actually try to learn something. As it turned out, he did! He learned that you don’t have to have ADHD in order to be a Youtuber…

  7234. omg.....I watched that video when it went viral....had no idea that was you and your son......out freakin standing..... LOVE your channel dude : }

  7244. Thank you Rick, I enjoyed and savoured every minute of this. The best Daniel Lanois interview I have seen - by a long shot. Merci beaucoup!

  7245. Hey Rick, did you tape the Portal podcast with Eric when in LA?
    1
  7246. Those licks Pat Metheny plays sound very Rick Beatoish.
    1
  7247. I can only imagine how Rick felt when he heard those words "Mr. Beato, you may come in. Mr. Gilmour is ready to speak with you now." If Rick didn't faint, I know I would have. Next interviews must be Mr. John Williams and Paul McCartney. Rick would then have the perfect trifecta. To listen to Rick pose questions aligned to David's musical styles, modes, and only hint a little Pink Floyd (referencing the piano on Echoes) says to me that this was a masterful interview well done. David's response as to how he achieved that sound using a piano, a microphone, and a Leslie tells the world that David really enjoyed this interview with Rick. David was so comfortable with Rick's questions. This interview should be a learning lesson for the future generation of interviewers on how to stay aligned to the person and subject being interviewed, and aligned to the facts and knowledge of the subject matter with said person. Rick's composure throughout this interview was so professional. Thank you Rick and David for spending time together. Last bit of hope.... will the King please bless Mr. Gilmour with Knighthood so he can be addressed as Sir David Gilmour.

  7251. If anybody has anything negative to say, they must be an angry person because I'm telling you Rick, your interviews are the best and this one is way above.. I have to watch this 10 more times😂 seriously?

  7252. Rick, man, I haven't watched your videos in a while, I come watch this, seems like you've gotten a bit older haha. Here's the deal though: I love you. I've been watching you since you had maybe 5% of the subscribers you have now. Thanks for everything you thought us!

  7253. This is just an incredible video and I think the jewel in your crown, on behalf of your YouTube armchair students, we thank you ❤️

  7254. Wow Rick!! Thank you for sharing this
    1
  7255. Thank you for humanizing Beethoven. History has a way of sensationalizing people and turning them into some kind of fictional character in a time long ago... Your video reminds us that he was very real... and was creating his art (when you look at the big picture)... not that long ago... just four generations ago... thank you Rick... I am going to make sure my children see this... Beethoven is an example that the only limitations we really have are the ones we create... thank for reminding me... I keep coming here to learn about life and leave learning much more... I learn how to live a better life.

    1
  7257. "The world is a better place for it" A alternative title. The World Is A Better Place For It. The Beatles, A Band Sublime. And this channel, at down to earthly levels. 14:37 minutes.

  7258. Top interview! You guys enjoy yourself and Rick Rubin in my opinion does get engage in this conversation more than in any other interview he has done before. Really nice episode and a pleasure to watch two music nuts like you are. Any music fan or musician will get a lot from this episode. Well done !
    1
  7259. Fascinating interview, and he never even spoke about his gov't/military contracting work (well, this is a music channel, so of course he didn't).
    1
  7260. So sorry for your loss😩 I was riveted watching you and Aunt Penny and sobbed when you spoke of her demise. You’re a good guy and a better nephew. Rest in music Aunt Penny!

  7261. Rick´s channel - and his expertise and good taste - is simply the best stuff in YT. The problem is, I got addicted to it. To the point that, sometimes, I watch a certain video that I´ve already watched 5 times!!! The one about Stairway to heaven guitar solo, for example. And many others... Ridiculous !!!

  7262. Rick I have same chairs in my backyard. 😊Greetings from Sydney. Love your channel!

  7263. Who was #21? I saw the take down earlier by Aviator Management GmbH. So lame. How else are musicians going to get heard about via a 3rd-party expert if not through a ubiquitous vehicle such as YouTube?
    1
  7264. Did I just witness Rick Beato sweep pick?!?!?!?!?
    1
  7265. Damn, Rick. Look at the garden you get to sow. These comments are gold. You are a yogi. Bless you.
    1
  7266. Rick, your Jimmy Webb interview was a lot like this one. It gave me the same vibes. Dick Cavett was one of the best. He had conversations, not confrontations. Thank you!!
    1
  7267. A perfect example of how good you need to be to really get into Jazz...rick knows exactly where he is all the time and in perfect time...Rick is a master in all departments ...not easy to do for mere mortals...keep doing this it’s teaching how to appreciate Jazz...playing it like this is another matter!
    1
  7268. As far as actual guitar instruction I learn more from your site Rick than anywhere. I got your Beato book around Halloween. It is just amazing. It's a wonderful book that opened my eyes to so many different ways of looking at things. I've been on a plateau for about 3 years. You helped me breakthrough in a major way! Pun intended.
    1
  7269. I've heard this hundreds (thousands?) of times and never appreciated it more than I do now. Well done, Rick!
    1
  7270. Best video you’ve ever made. Do it again
    1
  7271. Wow, common sense winning over corporate greed. Nice analysis as always, R. B.
    1
  7272. This should be at way higher views. The fact that it isn’t makes me feel like I am amongst a smaller group of people who sat under a tremendous learning tree.
    1
  7273. Love how you closed out the interview Rick and continued talking for another 12 minutes. Great interview, thank you.
    1
  7274. You're doing your best Rick, amazing.
    1
  7275. This is a great one Rick! I've been following Tosin for years now so thanks for getting him on. I love that you're so into this younger gen of players (Tosin, Aaron Marshall, Plini etc.) happening right now. They all got me back into guitar PLAYING again. Keep up the awesome work!
    1
  7276. Excellent interview, Rick. My sister, may she rest in peace, LOVED Dark Shadows!!! I remember it well. And yes, Rick, you are a nerd!!!😄💖

  7277. This is MORE TV than regular TV, today…
    1
  7278. Man, strong emotions here. I wish we had more videos like yours. No hate BS, no ''opinions'', just History, Facts and high Art. The 9th, to me, it's just the G-R-E-A-T-E-S-T artistic achievement of all mankind. We can't surpass that. No Sistine chapel, the entire Louvre collection or the Citizen Kane. It's the 9th symphony. Thank you.
    1
  7279. What a great interview! And the film production it top notch. The evolution of Beato's channel is unmatched and it's been fun to witness over the years. I always look forward to what's next....
    1
  7280. Rick, I love your channel, I watch it just about every day. I am a drummer. I have been play music for 40 years and I grew up in a household of music. I am excited to still be learning new things. Thank you for what you do.
    1
  7281. eventually you featured my favourite song and did it beautifully! good to know that somebody else cries on this song and album
    1
  7282. This is the most meaningful and valuable video I've yet seen by you Rick. Thanks so much for sharing your story!
    1
  7283. the only problem of the solo is that must be much longer!
    1
  7284. Lots of people have just discovered one of the great albums of all time through this video. Meanwhile, the blockers get nothin'. Lol.
    1
  7285. Hello Mr. Beato, I came across your channel through the Boston group. Then when I heard you analyze the song more than a feeling, I immediately subscribed to your channel. Your channel is one of the best on YouTube. Thanks for that!
    1
  7286. Opened the video as a fan of Nirvana, the video ended and made me a fan of Rick too
    1
  7287. Rick I am so glad I stumbled over your channel a few months ago, really love what you are doing and this video was just great. Love your passion and respect, keep up the great work :)
    1
  7288. Wow. Thanks for sharing, as hard as I'm sure it must have been. Thanks for all you do. God bless.
    1
  7289. Welder/musician here: amplifiers and welding equipment are very similar in that if you don’t know how to dial them in, if you don’t know the sweet spots, you aren’t going to get the results you need. You’ll just wind up with a mess.
    1
  7290. Rick, Cardinal Motion is a potential huge hit. Promoted correctly, it would go platinum, I'm certain.
    1
  7291. I almost cry while I was listening this video: this album is part of me, during my adolescence, all the day listening "The Joshua Tree". Thanks, Mr Beato: you touch my heart making this episode. (Forgive my english: I´m from Argentina).
    1
  7292. You've done something really, really great with this video.
    1
  7293. I'm not sure about the criteria and genres you explore but, with regard to drummers, I've yet to see any mention of Joey Jordison from Slipknot. He's not just fast, he's precise and energized!
    1
  7294. This was way more interesting than I was expecting when I hit play. Thanks guys
    1
  7295. I like this channel. I like Rick. I do not like Korn. I have even seen them in concert. Not a fan. Rick has admitted he does not necessarily like some of the songs he dissects on WMTSG, so I don't think I'm out of line expressing my dislike of this band.
    1
  7296. That is the best guitar solo I ever heard
    1
  7297. My God!!!! I just returned from a exhausting day, out on the road. This morning I listened to your best guitar solos, of all time. I have to say, I agree with every pick. Maybe it’s because we are the same age and have exquisite taste in music. I see that band of gold, on your finger. If you ever get divorced, Lol 😆 look me up. I’m in Houston. Love what you did on that protest too, I subscribe to several reaction channels and those retarded, backwards artists, that are too old to realize, where the $$$ is at, and the well deserved recognition they could receive! Anyway, love your channel now and you will see me commenting, as I dig through your library. 🤘
    1
  7298. I’m so happy I ended up in the perticular universe that Rick happens to be posting videos in.
    1
  7299. I have no comment except that I love your channel. Keep doing what you are doing.
    1
  7300. As a blind/visually impaired subscriber I just want to say thank you for sharing Rick, from the bottom of my heart 💚
    1
  7301. My brother used to teach me how to hear elements of production on what made songs great too! This story of you and Ray warmed my heart. ❤️
    1
  7302. 3 MILLION SUBS!!!!!! Congratulations Rick !! ✨🎉🎆🎇🎈😀
    1
  7303. I like Beato for these reasons. 1. He's a good storyteller. 2. His expansive knowledge of theory and recording. 3. His no nonsense, very rock'n'roll approach of telling the truth, unafraid and without bias or bribes to say what he wants. His opinions can't be bought which makes him very, very valuable. He is a danger to dishonesty.
    1
  7304. Compelled to comment. Fascinating!
    1
  7305. Rick is like a rock thrown in a pond causing ripples across the music world that will spread for years to come. Thank you Rick for turning the world in to older artists and newer artists alike.
    1
  7306. Donated! What a fantastic conversation (and interview; I hope you win an award for this). I've been mulling over my mind the concepts of "melody" and "feel" all day since listening to Pat explain them so profoundly. Thank you so much, Rick! You take music appreciation to a 'ho notha level.'
    1
  7307. Ok, funny. Does Rick play guitar? RICK HAS A SIGNATURE GIBSON LES PAUL MODEL! Just sayin'. I'm done now. Signed, A 2016 OG Follower.
    1
  7308. A great interview starts with knowledge and Rick has the Knowledge
    1
  7309. You had me until you said “Boy” wasn’t a great album. 😉 Seriously, I think it’s great. But, I’m no musician, and you’ve forgotten more about music than I’ll ever know. You have a great channel Rick! Loved the interview with Luk.
    1
  7310. This was as fascinating as it was entertaining. I could have listen another few hours. I love that Rick let’s his guest talk and only interjects if absolutely neccessary. He listens to hear and understand, not to just wait until he can talk. Great interviewer!👍
    1
  7311. Rick pulls off another major artist interview, Great job Rick ! Thank You !
    1
  7312. My view of this issue is way more sad; It´s simply over. AI or no AI. The creativity we used to see was fueled by the fact that sounds and styles were still untried, and recording technology evolved with the music, going through different eras and ending with masterpieces by Daft Punk and Radiohead. A soundtrack to the advent and evolution of modern society. There are of course people today with the same talent as the giants that came Before them, but how much is there to add? I get real jelous of my parents generation. They saw in their lifetime constant development in art, litterature, music and movies. A neverending feast for anybody who loved culture in general. Every five years there was a new "now". But it stopped. It´s so very depressing. It´s tempting to say that quantizing or AI or Spotify is the culprit, but I honestly dont´t think that has anything to do with it.
    1
  7313. This is hands-down the best video I’ve ever watched on YouTube! Thank you, Rick Beato.
    1
  7314. I wouldn't normally watch a 2.5 hour interview with a guitarist whose work I don't listen to, but how awesome is this! Also that Rick has gone from having his videos blocked to being the exposure platform of choice by major artistes . Plus Joni Mitchell invited him to lunch - fuckin' aye!
    1
  7315. Rick. if not for you doing this tune I would never have heard it. And would have missed something very special. Thank you friend.
    1
  7316. Rick is almost at 2M subs! Good for you Rick. Well deserved sir!

  7317. ❤

  7318. And that's why you have a following Rick. You're filling a gaping hole that's been left by the likes of Dick Cavett and Karl Haas. Thank you for doing what you do!
    1
  7319. Your passion is infectious, and I rather catch that than Covid-19 ! I’m a sax player and I get so much out of your channel. Thank you!
    1
  7320. He is living his credo to practice! You are inspirational. Thank you. And that is hella fast!
    1
  7321. Thanks Coach Beato 🔥🙏🏾
    1
  7322. Rick's well-done bit of Buddhist-like wisdom (letting go 🙏🏽) mixed with his 62 years of life-experience. - my 2 cents as a now-retired 62 year old guy. 👴🏼
    1
  7323. Jesus I got chills just before the part where the original solo would kick in. I had to stop and write that before I could go on. Spot on backing track you've made there Rick!!!
    1
  7324. I'm only 7 minutes into this video, and I'm dismayed to see there are 25+ dislikes on this video. Thank you, Rick, for sharing this personal revelation that SHOULD serve to illustrate that learning isn't a universal pattern, and that gifts appear differently to each of us. Much respect to you, I don't always connect with your videos, but full props for this one. Each of us has the potential to be a teacher to someone, and each of us should be open to being a student... Of life, if nothing else. Respect.
    1
  7325. This is the video that I always wanted to watch when it comes to music from that area. Only Rick can ask the intelligent questions and get a nice discussion that places my imagination right there in the rehearsal / practice space with them,
    1
  7326. I am so much more endeared to Trucks following this conversation. This interview is going to seed so many new fans for him.
    1
  7327. Mr. Gilmour seems like such a humble, down to earth , normal human being. Pulling back the curtain his process. And I absolutely understand his difficulty in explaining how some things come about. It's like watching someone who is a top quarterback or baseball player try to explain how they do what they do. It's natural to them and they can't explain or teach it to others. Well done Rick! P.S. I too prefer the Gilmour effect.
    1
  7328. I heard Rick play at Ithaca College when I was there as an undergrad studying with Steve Brown. We had a pub on campus, and Rick was playing there. He knocked me out. I told Steve Brown about it the next day, and Steve said Rick was "a very heavy cat."
    1
  7329. Seriously think about the trail of coincidences that had to align here and how improbable it should be lol
    1
  7330. Best guitar tracking tips I've ever come across. Thanks Rick.
    1
  7331. As a former Physical Therapist and current University professor and admirer of your show, reach out if you need any help with your frozen shoulder. I have helped hundreds rehabilitate after this diagnosis and love working with musicians to help them restore their performance.
    1
  7332. I feel like you being taught by your brother Ray. Well done. Well done.
    1
  7333. Another great video!! He was Michael Jordan on piano:)
    1
  7334. Rick is hardly a boomer since boomers usually discard any value in new generations in general. Rick loves music from every generation, and that's what makes him better than most!
    1
  7335. Made my night Rick. Thanks for breaking down these songs. So cool.
    1
  7336. The most engaging YouTube video I've EVER watched...just BRILLIANT. THANK YOU for what you do here!
    1
  7337. I don't know if the idea behind this format was to draw a parallel between the way that music is created now and the way that videos are created now, but it was either intentionally or unintentionally brilliant.
    1
  7338. I can’t play, Never took a lesson. Never had the opportunity but I have always loved music. Mixed tapes (both sides) I made back then I completely WORE OUT. Your enthusiasm is contagious and brings back memories of hours I spent hitting the rewind button. I’ve smashed the like and subscribe but will meander to your site and find a reason to buy something even if I don’t have the skill to utilize it. Just want to say “thank you”. To the next 100!
    1
  7339. Just bought my tickets 🙂. Hey Rick, just an FYI your YouTube site says it's 8PM, but Ticketaster/Live Nation says it's 7PM
    1
  7340. Rick may be a great guitarist, may be a great producer, musicologist, teacher , etc. - but he is absolutely one of the greatest interviewers ever.
    1
  7341. Rick, this was a sad story to hear but thank you for sharing it. I'm not sure what I can say that any of your thousands of adoring fans haven't already said; however, I'm gonna go out on a limb and hope that you may actually personally read this and see through the redundancy: I sincerely hope you did not, and moreso DO not struggle with any kind of survivor's guilt over what happened. In a case like this, where you talk to the person hours before the event, it is natural to feel like there's something you could have done or said to make a difference but that is almost never the case. As you acknowledged, this was an ongoing struggle on his part and it was gonna happen no matter what. I would bet everything I have that the supposedly nonchalant phone call you had with him that morning was him wanting to hear your voice one last time. Because you were that good of a friend to him. I don't know the details and I'm sorry if I'm overstepping. It's just something I needed to say. You seem like a great guy and, despite how many takes you had to record and edit to keep a straight face for this, the pain was blatantly evident when you mentioned both your father's and Johnny's deaths. I found this channel shortly after Chris Cornell's passing, thanks to the YouTube algorithms, and have been a religious viewer ever since. I recommend you to every single musician I know and many have followed. No one deserves success more than you - you're basically giving away a premium, interactive education in all levels of music, based on almost half a century of REAL experience. It blows my mind. I've been playing guitar since age 13 (Sep 10th, 1994) but had hit a lull in my 30s due to, well... life. Thanks to your channel lighting a fire under my ass 3 years ago, I now have my own music studio in a beautiful old refurbished river-side brick paper mill built in 1838 up in Massachusetts and a serious collection of gear and high hopes for my future sanity through making music. I hope I get a chance to meet you someday and say thank you for that. People who don't even know you love you, man. If that's not a meaningful accomplishment, I don't know what is. :)

  7342. I can’t sing, can’t play any instruments or read music, but can listen to Rick Beato break down songs all day.

  7343. I don’t think you can do any better than Gillinov and the Cleveland Clinic.

  7344. I never Imagined a song could Dragon like that.

  7348. YOU GOT BRIAN MAY TO PLAY THE SOLO TO BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY LIVE ON YOUR CHANNEL. PLEASE TELL ME THIS WILDLY EXCEEDS ANY EXPECTATIONS YOU HAD AROUND A YOUTUBE CHANNEL!
    1
  7349. Don't know notes....can't read music...still, love to listen to you rave about 'progressions" etc. anyway. Another quality vid Rick...I bought this album some 40 years ago after discovering Jaco via Birdland....he's legend!
    1
  7350. This may be the best piece of media I have seen in any format in months. I got so enthused that I paused it to listen to an old 1960’s recording of Beethoven sonatas to get in the right mindset to listen to the rest of this video.
    1
  7351. Rick you are such a “Mensch “
    1
  7352. Twenty years ago, I had a bad cold and my ears were bunged up. I rubbed my left ear in frustration and it triggered tinnitus that has never gone away. I had to give up work as it caused me uncontrollable anxiety. It nearly destroyed my life, and it took me many years to adjust. For a long time it made it impossible for me to listen to any music, because the tinnitus increases and distorts everything else. I was also a rock/blues/fusion guitarist (which didn't cause the tinnitus). Even though it's with me every day, I almost never speak about it as it's too upsetting. No one who hasn't been through something similar will be able to understand what Beethoven went through. Recently I felt I needed to get back to playing the guitar again and learning new things, as I've realised it's an important part of who I am and almost nothing else makes me happier. Thank you Rick, this is a profoundly empathetic and humane post.
    1
  7353. Hi RICK!!! never said hello here... Good to see you doing fine!!! something almost Paradise Lost in Rob track
    1
  7354. The story is about love: family love, friends love, love for music, love for musicians. The remarkable bass guitar is the co-star, but LOVE is the star of this story. Thank you for sharing this lovely episode!
    1
  7355. I can’t figure out why I would cry,but I did. It’s funny when she was talking about the barking dog I noticed my dog was barking to come back in and so I teared up again. Sorry for your loss Rick. It was a great loss.
    1
  7356. One of my most rewarding experiences I had as a musician was playing at a deaf wedding. The only time I experienced a completely full dance floor from the very 1st note. As a live engineer I often witnessed people signing in front of PA stacks having a great time.
    1
  7357. From Kelly Clarkson to Kickass Metal in five frickin days. Cmon!!!! RB you’re the best. Thank you.
    1
  7358. Best video I’ll see all week
    1
  7359. I don't know which is better - the song itself, or watching your joy at analyzing it Rick. Thanks for showcasing this song. Just to put in my two cents - the end solo of this song is tied for #1 for me with Eruption for the greatest rock guitar solo of all time. Thanks Rick. I truly enjoy your videos.
    1
  7360. 🌸😊
    1
  7361. True story... Some years back, the ex-wife and I are watching Elizabethtown on DVD in bed. She fell asleep, and I finished the film.. As the end credits rolled, I was completely enthralled by "Same in Any Language", and probably watched those credits at least six times just for the song... It's just a perfect thing, still, to me.. Hearing this story, and knowing that my favorite YouTuber was behind it, makes it all the more special. I Nine is amazing. Nancy Wilson is amazing. And, the man who wrote the liner notes for "The Song Remains the Same" is brilliant... Thanks, Rick...
    1
  7362. Somehow this interview is the best R.E.M. interview I've ever come across.
    1
  7363. I know it has been said many times, but if any interviewer encapsulates the simple principle that less is more, it is Rick Beato. Perfect interview.
    1
  7364. Okay, I never comment, but you asked and I'm so thrilled with this ep that I'm commenting. Thanks for doing a Joni Mitchell song.
    1
  7365. When I first saw your video you were at 60k subscribers. It was clear then this is your calling, Rick...congrats!
    1
  7366. This interactive blue screen keyboard is a very impressive CGI. Almost as much as the two speaking 3D guests. Unfortunatley, the carpets look fake.
    1
  7367. If this doesn't prove that solos are more about the journey than the destination, I don't know what will. So much fun.
    1
  7368. I just discovered your channel yesterday and now I see that you made a feature length interview with one of my favorite film composers (since Road to Perdition), who I know almost nothing about, except his music. 😅 Thank you so much for that. 😊🍀
    1
  7369. How are people bothered to complain about this??? Rick is giving out great information about recording guitars FOR FREE and some people have the nerve to complain. If you struggle with your guitar sound at least be grateful that someone's trying to help ya.
    1
  7370. Hey Rick, I'm an architect /guitarist and I'd love to take a look at some options for your space. We need to see the whole picture first tho. We do lots of performance spaces. Let me know if you're interested.
    1
  7371. Great! Now you should analyze Gino Vannelli's 1978 classic "Brother To Brother", which really has the best jazz-rock/fusion guitar solo in music history!
    1
  7372. I had the same condition. Marc Gillinov was my surgeon 4 yrs ago ( during COVID outbreak) and was able to do robotic. I'm 56 now and doing great, my heart returned to normal size again finally. I had other complications with my lungs afterwards, but Cleveland Clinic surgeons and staff were amazing. So glad you went there for your ❤. Cleveland Rocks and so do you!

  7373. Multiple choice quiz: What would it sound like if someone else played over Stairway to Heaven instead of Jimmy Page? Like what if Perter Frampton played the solo or Eddie Van Halen? Or if a modern guitarist like Eric Johnson played on Stairway to Heaven? A – The original is so perfect that it can’t be replaced but that would be a very intriguing experiment. B – Don’t’ even think about it. C – I’m sure it would be nice, but how would you pull that off? D – So amazing that it could quite literally be the coolest video ever created on the internet and people would repeat it 30 times, share it with their friends and be so mind-blown that they would wake up the next day and watch it a dozen more times with the same awe they did when they watched it the first time. Answer: A and D You guys hit this one way out the park. Epic. You also achieved this with absolute class and respect for the musicians, the song, and the solo. And all of you approached it with utmost professionalism. Nice work.

  7374. Imagine a world without youtube where Rick Beato is not the finest musical interviewer of all time

  7375. Another perfect video from Sir Richard Whitemane.

  7377. Was the 'Choir' at the end, The Edge, Eno and Lanios?
    1
  7378. This is why I love your channel. Great info that is new to me, and great stories whether they are new to me or completely familiar such as today's. As a little kid, I would put on Abbey Road, lie down on the living room rug and drift off to dreamland. The record WAS the activity...and I was powerless against the patch of sunlight on the floor.

  7379. Wow this is so terrific!!!! Ive never been a Sting fan per se- I have always found his work very interesting but I wouldn’t call myself a fan – I am now
    1
  7380. Music aside, what makes this channel so good is Rick’s storytelling. He’s masterful at it and I’m here for it.
    1
  7381. Saw your testimony, Rick. You clean up nice!

  7382. This video is one reason why I watch and subscribed your channel. It’s your humanity, your big heart and the enthusiasm in all what you do 🙏

  7383. Tough job, getting to interview your heroes! Love what you do, Rick. Keep it up!

  7384. Before i even say anything, sick Chucks you got there Rick

  7385. For the 10 songs here we have 47 writers and 21 producers.
    1
  7386. Rick is the professor whose class is where we want to be and never miss! Paul Davids is guitar's version of Jacques Cousteau who explains with a soft intent the wonderful concepts of guitar in songs. Rhett with his behind the scenes of a working musician , I feel is award winning !1st because of the media he is using and time frame its put it out for us as well as grassroots environment. Tim Peirce who gives us his life's work and experience as a true professional working in lala land. Pete Thorn ? Who? Yea Pete just demonstrates his professionalism and the incredible ability to make melodies and execute when the call is in. Guitar Pilgrim. Another great talent who has intention to explain in a fashion that we absorb and his emotion tied to the musicality is always evident. Chris Buck crazy good... nothing to say but watch Paul Davids'. expression of Chris on his chord progression. Yea me too Paul! We are so blessed there are so many more that offer us the world of great guitar content. To be exposed to ideas , musicality and life experiences most would never see. Love all you guys . Independence and freedom to express is waning in this day... BTW I do purchase products.

  7387. First you made every song reviewer jealous by getting the STEMs, now you are going to the song writers to ask the questions we've always wondered about. Which is just freekin' awesome.
    1
  7388. That was real. I rarely comment on videos, much less see them through the end, but absolutely beautiful. RIP Peter. I hope you are reunited with your daughter. God Bless Rick.

  7389. Golden content especially between 0:00 and 38:31.

  7390. I never imagined that I’d live to see the day that anyone, particularly someone of Rick’s esteem, compared a Gould performance to Rush. Then again…on second thought, I think that among men of such musical esteem, ONLY Rick could make such a comparison and not be accused of satire. Rick Beato. Making insomnia fun since 2015!
    1
  7391. I never thought Rick would ever get around to doing a Joni Mitchell, with all those fancy tunings, and flighty embellishments. She was what you heard, and a lot of, especially is you're *almost" as old as Rick, way back when he was young. Imagine being the guy who took out her trash, with all those tunings that she thought weren't "good enough", and the songs that went with them. I'm a 50-something old guy who still loves heavy metal, but I'm hoping that Joni sees this, and "happens to be in" a Beato youtube clip. This was one I've been waiting for, Thanks Mr. Beato!

  7392. In case your camera team is wondering the light effect is the UV filter reflecting the LED light you had in front of the camera, behind the subjects.
    1
  7393. These people are willing to sit down with you, Rick... because they respect you and they know it's truly mutual. You have educated so many people here on YouTube. Me personally... I am so thankful for your videos. I have learned so much!
    1
  7394. The rare Orange overdrive series II! I’ve never seen another. Awesome.
    1
  7395. You make it seam like you're doing a bad job at playing that lick but you're bossing it like a pro!
    1
  7396. Joni!! He destroys his cred right there. Well said Rick
    1
  7397. I was expecting your brother's response to be. "If you don't buy that bass, I'll buy that bass just to hit you over the head with it at Thanksgiving..."
    1
  7398. We're about the same age. When I mention something interesting about your videos to friends and family, the reaction I get is that I'm talking about a friend. So you're personality and upbringing triggers a familiarility in lots of folks that listen in. Your interaction with your little brother is so much like that. It's like you guys grew up in my neighborhood but thousands of miles away. I'm guessing that's a baby boomer and a cultural sort of similarity thing. Hope you stick with it for a while longer. The fact that you know what you're talking about and communicate effectively has a bit to do with that as well.
    1
  7399. This was personal about you and is my favorite video you have ever made! thank you my friend!!!
    1
  7400. Just purchased the Beato book. Hope I can learn some theory and concepts that make me a better guitar player and musician. You go Rick!
    1
  7401. Not only is this an amazing interview with an iconic individual, but your production value is awesome dude, you're killing it! thank you for this
    1
  7402. Only someone with the perspective of Rick who also possesses the communicative skills to make these interviews accessible and informative to an audience of wide ranging knowledge levels AND be entertaining as well! “Foremost professor” Al says it!
    1
  7403. Fantastic interview, and very funny!! I HATE today's music with the cicadas😵! Thank you, Rick!!
    1
  7404. There was a time I wondered why Rick had so many guitars....I don't wonder anymore. I don't think I've ever heard any one person, sans JP, nail the tone on every riff.

  7405. Happy & proud member of the Beato Club

  7406. This is my favourite interview from all you’ve done. Thank you Rick!
    1
  7407. Rick - schooling us - I have NO Joni Mitchell albums. I seem to remember Prince being a Joni Mitchell fan, but Rick has really brought it home - how big a gap I have in my extensive CD/DVD collection - so out I will go tomorrow and pick up as much Joni as I can on CD. Thanks Rick - inspirational, educational, directional, motivational; as always.

  7408. My children will know you Rick. Thanks for this amazing channel and the knowledge you share

  7409. Monumental interview! Epic! I knew Pat would not be far behind.
    1
  7410. Well, now I know why YouTube was created. Thank you! Amazing!
    1
  7411. I love you, Rick. You are a mensch!
    1
  7412. Omg I have only recently discovered your channel. And this took my breath away, that you would get so excited about Dowland! I’m going to be sure to check out more of your videos from now on. You are truly a musician!
    1
  7413. This interview is just brilliant! I learned so much about so many songs and albums that I love.
    1
  7414. I love, love, LOVE seeing this kind of video from you Rick. Bravissimo!
    1
  7415. The Best Video i have EVER watched in my entire 62 years of being !
    1
  7416. Rick is the only person on this scale capturing the thoughts and lessons of the musical masters of Gilmour's generation. Sadly, that generation won't be around for much longer and Rick's interviews never venture into gossip and backstage drama, they're all about the music. And thats what we should remember about these artists.
    1
  7417. OK Rick one down, Ian Thornley and Bret Garsed to go. Then I don't need the vaccine
    1
  7418. A bass player friend of mine has ran some marathons with your brother Mike in the recent past here in WNY. Often the farther you go the smaller the world is and music sure has a way of bringing people together!
    1
  7419. Interesting theme - perhaps more episodes on it?
    1
  7420. 50 minute interview with Peter Smart? I’m in! Do it Rick and Peter - it’ll be brilliant!
    1
  7421. You finished strong Rick! Five, Five, Five by Zappa. Yes! Allen Holdsworth! Jeff Beck! Three of my favorites.
    1
  7422. But... very profound analysis. Thank you for bringing this perspective about passion for creating to “the masses”. Great professorial work. Those guys at your old college ought to give you a PhD!

  7423. Ride with the tide and go with the flow ...thank you Aunt Penny Rose xo

  7424. I'm barking. I'm crying. ...all the feels. Thank you for sharing, Rick. That was beautiful.

  7425. You really painted a nice picture with this video. Thank you Rick.
    1
  7426. Yep, I'm a recent follower and although I had an inkling that you would be able to play, I sure as hell didn't know just how good you are dude! You just unlocked a massive chest of a new level of respect 😎❤🙏

  7427. Would really love to hear your thoughts on G.O.A.T. by Polyphia, or any Polyphia songs.

  7428.  @RickBeato  this is fantastic!
    1
  7429. You know something Rick? I've watched pretty much everything you have done on YT and I really love your channel. What makes is fantastic but... I think this was the best video you have done mate and I for one would love this to be a series. You rock mate!! Brilliant. Thanks Rick. Legend.
    1
  7430. Knowledge is one of few things that if you share it, it multiplies. Thanks Rick 👍 for this invaluable lessons (got your Book and as soon as I get the time, I will definitively get into your Ear Training Course)
    1
  7431. What I LOVE about Rick and this is a perfect example in this video coming from someone like myself who has an extremely limited knowledge of musical theory is that he can explain why something is great in the the rock genre from artists that don't know necessarily about theory, the worlds greatest example being the Beatles and that they and other artists like them use their INSTINCT to guide them.....He correctly points out that THAT'S the GENIUS of the great artists and great songs. ....What's intriguing to me as I watch these videos is there really is a theoretical explanation for why a song hits us so powerfully and emotionally..... but that's not what's really important..... Rick has it in the proper order so Kudos to Rick for explaining the theory (and the production!) because although most of us independent musicians don't have the theory, we are guided by instinct which means there are geniuses among us all and if you keep your ear to the ground you never know when one will emerge...
    1
  7432. Great interview - encouragement to me to listen to more of Eric’s music. I hope Eric as well as Rick gets to hear how his participation was appreciated by us the viewers!
    1
  7433. Rick's hoping for good feedback and 'likes' while I'm trying to think of a comment insightful enough to get a 'like' from Rick! (I can't do it.) Thanks Rick, your amazing videos have given me countless hours of education and enjoyment. I'm going to crank up Do You Feel Like We Do, RIGHT NOW!
    1
  7434. What's great about these interviews (or rather beautifully informal conversations) is they send you on an investigative journey of these wonderful musicians and their cohorts, phenomenally informative and magical, truly greatful.
    1
  7435. Many, many years from now, when you have left this earth, the wealth of knowledge you have left behind, the infinite jewels of inspiration you have left behind, the pure joy you've brought to both musicians and just fans of music, which you'll have left behind, will be an insurmountable legacy most people can't even conceive of leaving behind when they go. The indelible mark you'll have left will be second to none. The entire music world, now and in the future, owes you an enormous amount of gratitude. Also, how adorable is your daughter? Thank you, Rick, for all you do! We really do appreciate it.
    1
  7436. I'm not crying the rest of you are crying ha ha the tribute to your dad got me a little choked up Rick. I know I owe a lot to my dad for my musical taste.
    1
  7437. Question : could there be a link between the fact that we listen to music through streaming services instead of buying albums, and the degrading quality of popular song writing? Or is it just plain laziness?
    1
  7438. I started following your channel when you had 50000 subs. I learned the bebop scale from you
    1
  7439. i see why you have 4 mil subs

  7440. Rick is an enthusiasm factory.

  7441. Got me to tears Rick. Thank you!! Thank you!!! I'm not giving up. You're such a blessing and an inspiration✨

  7442. 47mins in and i legit felt like i was sitting with these two legends head banging/bobbing along.

  7443. Rick, that's why I and millions follow you: your channel is about mankind, not only music.

  7444. Best content creator on YT!

  7445. My dad died on August 20, 2007. Now I’ll remember Peter on that day as well.

  7446. This was an “instant classic”

  7447. This is the future of media. The two of you talking. Whatever interests you is good enough for me.

  7448. Rick, in the thumbnail pic of this video, you look like you could be a villain in the next Dr. Strange movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. You look like an evil sorcerer 😆😄 (I mean that as a compliment 😄)
    1
  7449. I thought you were just a denim shirt influencer. 😂
    1
  7450. Holy crap.... what an amazing illumination/revelation to me.... nu-Metal's defining feature is arguably the radical absence of Blues. (not sarcasm, btw, as an armchair American music lover, this honestly is profound to me! all why I love this channel!!!!)
    1
  7451. No one seems to have mentioned this but fantastic editing!
    1
  7452. Rick Beato is a dangerous man with a modern song in his hands. He'll dissect it and leave the parts scattered all over the place.
    1
  7453. For the 50% of people watching this, that aren't subscribed... click the effin button! Rick has never released a bad video, and IMO, this is one of the best channels on YouTube!! So click it! Click the effin button!!!
    1
  7454. Hey Raymond, are you learning anything? Rick is pretty awesome, right? Like you've told me told me: love of music is a common thread that brings us all together and bridges our differences. Rick Beato?; keep teaching because your interpretations and lessons do matter. They will be referred to far beyond into the future. Thank you...j

  7455. Pop music with actual instruments? What a novel idea. Can we go back to 1994?
    1
  7456. If could watch every video on YouTube right now, none of them would be as good as this. Wow. And thank you.
    1
  7457. I wish I had something significant or insightful to add to the wonderful comments below. Few musicians have had as much of an impact on me throughout my life as has Keith Jarrett. What you've done for our understanding of music and musicians with your site is unique and extraordinary. The interviews you've conducted have been fabulous and couldn't have been done by someone without your deeply impressive understanding of music ... and humanity. For Keith to have trusted you to provide a window onto his life at this most delicate time is, well, wow......... thank you.

  7460. Queen paid tribute to John Lennon the next day..... Hi Rick, very tasteful and respectful comments you made, as always. We are the same age, only a year old when JFK died and too young to be aware of the passing of all those other great artists you listed (though I do remember being very sad when Elvis and then Marc Bolan died in 1977) On 8 December 1980, I was very excited to be going to see Queen live in London at Wembley (the arena, not the stadium). I was 17, almost 18 and this was only my second 'big' live gig (first was AC/DC just two weeks before) Queen with Freddie were brilliant of course and I couldn't have been happier that night. But in the UK we didn't get the news about John Lennon till the next day, so Tuesday 9 December is our sad day to remember. Because John was shot late at night on the Monday. No 24 hour news in the UK then, and of course no Internet. I don't think I've ever gone from feeling so much elation over music, to sadness, in under 24 hours. Reading the Queen archives, during the Tuesday night London gig, the band did a cover of 'Imagine' as a tribute. Reports say it was a very emotional experience for the band and audience, especially being in John's home country. Roger Taylor was in tears at the end, reports said. Queen, like so many other bands that came after The Beatles, were huge fans. On the next Queen album, Brian would write a song called 'Put Out The Fire' about gun deaths in the US, and Freddie would write 'Life Is Real', a piano-based song about John. No Beatles, No Queen...and no many other bands who followed R.I.P. John Lennon

  7461. Neat vid, Rick!... the Beato Book sounds very interesting I would have bought it but too bad am not a guitarist :( any similar book planned for piano/keyboard players ?
    1
  7462. The interview we thought would never happen wonderful content love Rick and David
    1
  7463. Been listening to Swervedriver since “Raise”. They are an awesome band and Adam Franklin is a great songwriter and guitar player. Love his solos work and his Bolts of Melody albums as well.
    1
  7464. What I can't believe, is how this sort of commentary never was part of MTV type of interview. (Though I have to say I did see SOME interviews which were about the actual music. But this was less and less the case) Of course for the most part, journalist music critics never were schooled into music. The point I'm making is, if it were for enthusiast professional musician-commenters in the style Rick is doing this tremendously well, mainstream music industry wouldn't suck as much. Good thing is, Rick is underlining the gems in popular music today. He's not just throwing some superlatives, but he SHOWS what is musically going on in the 'gem-songs' and legendary artists/groups in their artistry. No streetwise bullshit, just actual facts and aspects like musical sound, texture, chord progessing, phrasing in melody and rhythm. Also what I like: Rick is that much of a music lover; popular, classical eras, jazz..it's all there. To me this would be THE CHANNEL in the time were all music theory puzzle pieces unveiled themselves to me when I was scrutining how to play all these songs I liked on the piano and my weeks were filled by one after another epiphany on how music evolved in harmony and time. A lot of young musicians feel kind of lonely when going through this process, but feel more connected kind of related to the musicians/bands they're listening to. How cool it is, nowadays 15 yr olds can watch this channel sharing the awe of good music boosting their development in essences to songwriting and creativity. This must lead up to a lot of good music in the future.
    1
  7465. I have been watching your channel for quite a while, and I love it, but I have never subscribed, until today!! I think this is the best one yet, you truly are an inspiration, keep up your excellent work. Watching and learning from Melbourne Australia... AWESOME
    1
  7466. Thanks for risking your amps for the experiment.
    1
  7467. Wonderful Rick! Your passion for music is inspiring. Someone who loves everything from Beethoven to Jaco to Soundgarden... A true music lover. Love your analyses, too. How about a video on the "Große Fugue" op.131? That was some pretty jazzy stuff for the mid 19th century! Greetings from Leipzig, Germany.
    1
  7468. Thank you, Rick! I can appreciate your way of looking at this YouTube video career. It is a study in human psychology! I agree. I enjoy your videos because you have experience and you know how to explain the subjects relating to music. I understood what you talked about in the Compression video. I still have no clue about the Circle of Fifths but that is not on you. I liked your explanation. Yes, talk about what you decide and when you decide. The pressure of making videos about subjects found in the Comments seems to me to be a fast walk right into insanity. I began making videos for my channel because I was having a fantastic time with my chosen DAW (Mixcraft) and I was totally digging using Mixcraft to explore musical chord theory and songwriting. Then, because I am a certified chaplain, I began making videos about my life with Jesus. No schedule, no pressure, absolutely no self-doubt because of harsh Comments and absolutely no stress about What The Heck Do I Talk About Next?!?!?! God bless you, Rick. I appreciate you for the musician, and video producer, that you are!

  7469. Rick, having lost my father unexpectedly the week before Thanksgiving, I know how incredibly difficult this time is. Sending you and your family so much 💜 and positivity. It’s quite clear how truly amazing she was and this globe will be a little less bright without her on it.

  7470. Respect to Rick, Jack, Les, & Peter.

  7472. Great interview. I'm getting.008s for my guitar
    1
  7473. Another fantastic interview by Rick! Well done and thank You for what you do! Im an old fan of Al Di Meola although Im a saxophonist and I found this interview full of fantastic information and wisdom music-wise. Just like Metheny's interview. Sure you don't need my encouragement when a hero like Al mentions that you are doing a great service to music and musicians! Im from Iran and I have no access to global banking system so I can donate to your wonderful channel, however, like many from different corners of the earth, i deeply appreciate your work and benefiting from all these fantastic interviews and material you provide here! Bravo Mr.Beato! Thank You Al Di Meola for sharing your beautiful music for all these years/decades and now sharing your priceless wisdom in such friendly and honest manner with our lovely Rick!
    1
  7474. Let's go! This WAY exceeded expectations. Already a fan of both you guys. Enthralling. Inspiring.

  7475. Dude- you sold me on this tune- I'm a def u2 hater, but damn- when you're right your right- love your stuff- wish I had your ear- loved the one w your dad where you learned a jazz tune- wish I had your ear

  7476. Even Aunt Penny is singing your praises on this one. You were born to do this Rick.
    1
  7477. Rick.. this is just a stunning interview.... just fabulous... Thank you.
    1
  7478. How will we know that Rick has made it? David Gilmore? Reading the comments is just what everyone is thinking. Im 54 and a metal guitarist. Iron Maiden is why I started playing at 15. But I had an older brother and he had Ghost in the Machine 8-track. This was '84. Back then I remember it sounding unreal. Truly just wild at the time..such a cool album. Yes this interview is shocking to me too. Rick really brings it all out and lets them just talk. Where others would be looking for places to interject and cut him off, Rick sits there thinking ,"I can't believe I'm getting all this!" and let's him talk! Bravo!! And hes got the questions ready that we all would ask. Nothing we wouldn't. No fluff. Bravo Sir. You are the man.
    1
  7479. Holy crap this is historic shit. Thank you so much, Rick and Christopher. I was becoming musically conscious when Ride Like the Wind and Sailing, etc came out. I was 9 in 1979 and was/am floored by the beauty of those songs. I'm a huge fan of strings as well, in no small part because of Cristopher's music. The tale about how that string intro came about was pure magic! Gosh, I really hope these interviews keep coming. Rick, beyond the massive contribution you've made heretofore in your many music career iterations, immense as they are, will be dwarfed by the contribution you're making to canonizing in perpetuity the historical record of this most amazing era of music making. Its such an honorable and noble vocation to preserve and tell our stories. Thank you!
    1
  7480. Well, now Rick. I am in my 60s. I am an adult music student. I actually am going to finally start on your ear training course. So, what would you make of an adult music student who is learning to improvise? Ha!
    1
  7481. Great list, but where’s Drift Away by Dobie Gray. And maybe for just me, Rock Me Gently by Andy Kim.
    1
  7482. What ppl WILL be talking about, 200 years from now, is the fact that Rick Beato wore the same Black Tee shirt for the majority of his adult life! @ 4.26. Seriously, this is another classic, wonderful, insightful vid. Thanks again RB!
    1
  7483. That was fantastic! Very interesting to hear what makes human beings tick and what causes artists to be artists. Derek sounds like a musician that would much rather talk about the feeling behind the songs vs the technical aspects of playing. I would imagine that there were a hundred different ways to approach this interview but I’m glad you just picked a few topics and then let him go. In reference to funding your channel, when you consider “value for value,” watching an hour long interview with Derek Trucks or Pat Metheny, etc., that is certainly worth $10 to me.
    1
  7484. So skilled - amazing that two people can just sit and make beautiful music with so little effort (seemingly!). I saw Phish up close once, but not as close as you did!! Thanks for the analysis as always Rick. I now understand what a downward modulation is. Cool...
    1
  7485. You are a very inteligent interviewer man. You nude to David so well. You show the tacit force in the room(Polli) Who is apearing all the time in the David's body verbal and you adjust the ínterview to incorporate that element and even to not lost the central of the interview wich is David. Your interview shows me a David like a very very talentous musician, with many layers. But at the same time he aparently needs a driving force. Roger is a crazy and a incredible force of nature. Maybe to much. It's a shame their separation. And What amazing and natural artist is David. And you are the Best interviewer of music's industry!!!!
    1
  7486. @Zep I watched this video and today the streaming services are all tuned to your records (again). So..say thanks to Rick Beato.
    1
  7487. Rick would you do a video on your daily routine, how one earth do you keep on top of everything?
    1
  7488. Your tone is so good it actually added a lot to the songs in my opinion haha
    1
  7489. Rick is such a great interviewer. He lets the subject talk and he is so knowledgeable and interested.
    1
  7490. Just read the article in the August 6th Wall Street Journal about your YouTube channel. I have been a subscriber for about a year now. Thanks for keeping us entertained and teaching us many thing we never knew about music.
    1
  7491. Not one of your best videos, but reasonable... 😉 Glad to hear you have rediscovered some passion again. Sometimes disillusionment strikes. I think I did my best work about 3 or 4 years ago, but sometimes struggle to work out how good something is that I've done. Sending virtual hugs Rick!
    1
  7492. Another great Beato learning experience. Love the way my playing and enjoyment of music has blossomed because of people like Rick. I've got the Beato Book and doing the Ear Training course. Both are brilliant and must haves. Thanks so much Rick. Your gift to us is priceless.
    1
  7493. This new "natural environment" Rick is refreshing. The topic, as usual, hits home.
    1
  7494. Hmmm-very interesting, Rick. I would classify you as one of the 5 or 6 Youtubers who are literally educating an entire generation with your videos. My engineering/music/production degree literally left me in $20,000 in debt with a useless paper college degree. You guys are giving this away for free online just for clicking and subscribing. So thank you. :-)
    1
  7495. I just passively listened and watched this, for the 3rd time. My immediate instinct is to start my fourth viewing, haha. It is THE MOST inspiring interview, for me personally, that I've ever experienced. You are both treasures, Rick and Thomas.
    1
  7496. I was looking for a whip emoji to add to this comment as that it all I could think of when you were discussing how it took 9 writers to write the same chord progression as many other songs. Overall I love this type of videos so please keep posting them as you see fit. I have been a subscriber for a long time now and I like and appreciate your content. I only wish I could have the musical knowledge that encompasses you, at least 1% hehehe. But even with my very limited understanding of music theory I like watching your videos all the time.
    1
  7497. I went to see BB King in one of his last concerts. He couldn’t walk without help, but gave one of the best concert performances I have been lucky enough to experience. Age is just a number
    1
  7498. Hmmm, RIck Beato AI interviews John Lennon AI .... I'd give that a listen.
    1
  7499. Seen Gordy twice... such an honor. The fact you're a fan and so appreciative of him is going to make me a follower of you! Timeless and majestic quality music!!!✌
    1
  7500. Rick tell the truth, you had no clue your channel would evolve to this epic level of awesome when you started. I joined because you explained music theory in a way I could digest. I stayed for moments like this.
    1
  7501. This is masterful Rick. And we thank your older brother for opening your mind to hidden gems in these great songs!!
    1
  7502. Rick gives a moving talking pictures with YT. Legends that will pass but be alive thru Rick's ''our'' love of music. Gracias Mr. Beatos
    1
  7503. Music is getting worse not just because people are spending more time on social media, it's getting worse because it's becoming essentially MEDIATED by social media. And Rick has referenced this quite a bit but didn't make it such a point here - the extent to which top 40 stuff in particular is seemingly being released FOR TikTok, and the extent to which TikTok with the necessarily short attention spans and gimmicky visual accompaniments is clearly changing the nature of the music people are both producing and consuming. Look at Google trends for anything to do with HISTORY liekwise, look at the way enrollments in history degrees have fallen off a cliff in recent years. Future genetions are just going to live in an eternal vapid, shortform present. Social media plays to so many of the lowest common denominator regressive tendencies in human psychology, but I don't know what you do about it. Banning it is clearly not the answer, but it's very hard to conceive how you'd regulate it in a way that enforced quality content, in-depth longform topical engagement, genuine debate rather than shouting and abuse, etc. I think future generations are going to view the advent of social media as a tipping point towards a lowest common denominator version of humanity. I think the only way you push back is by participating on the platforms with quality content. So Rick is doing exactly the right thing for the future of humanity by raising these issues, and especially by using this medium to do it. And if you're not attracting a level of abuse you're probably not doing it right. More power to Rick's arm.

  7505. You had me at the first chord.

  7506. Rick, There's a reason my brother and I call you "Professor", Rick. And this story is it: it's because teaching is 1% about knowledge and 99% about making connections with people. You have such a great mind for music, but most importantly, you have such a huge heart for people, and this story of your tender friendship with Peter is proof of that. I've been a HS teacher and coach for 29 years; I can only pray that I made even 1/10 the impact on my students and athletes that you have made on me and those who watch your channel. Sorry for your loss, Mike

  7507. Thank you Rick for this. You're amazing.

  7508. Mixed FOH sound for Brad Mehldau up in Dahlonega a few years back. Awesome guy.

  7509. I can't tell what that means to me. I can't stop crying and I don't know why. To say it's the best thing I've ever seen on Youtube doesn't do it justice. The sadness and the beauty of life. Mostly beauty! Thank you Rick!

  7510. Great! one of my favorite videos...Tim is such a great human being....I always take his knowledge of ideas with me to the studio. Thank you Rick and Tim!

  7513. The people dismissing your argument as 'old man complains about new music' have not read the OP or so to speak. It's not that there's less talent nowadays, it's that environment, circumstances and (technological) changes in the nature of a medium have an effect on the output of that medium. That's why you get a Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness or a Superunknown in the 90's, but not in the oughts, tens and twenties. As for my thoughts on the matter, I think it's a combination of the money argument (how much did it cost to produce a record like MCATIS? And how many bands/acts can still get such a budget) and the fragmentation argument (there is no longer such a thing as the mainstream) and I think the two are related.

  7515. YouTube has brought me to Rick and Renaissance music. Wonderful.
    1
  7516. This isn’t the greatest YouTube video in the world. This is a tribute to the greatest YouTube video in the world.

  7517. Dylan has a PURE shooting form

  7518. One thing I like about Rick is that the love and passion that he has for music is pretty infectious. I'm 36 and I never stuck to learning music like I claimed to want to but finding Rick's channel has made me want to genuinely learn and absorb his knowledge and passion.
    1
  7519. As soon as this great man is interviewed appropriately and on HIS subject, as soon as an expert asks an expert questions, the result is a masterpiece. An object lesson for all the lousy and mediocre “journalists” who think a few borrowed minutes in an icon's calendar is a license to spout their own garbage, to indulge their own lust for meaningless scandals and private details.  Rick Beato is not only an insightful and knowledgeable interviewer, he takes a step back in his interviews and leaves the situation to his interviewee. The result: words flow. This “taking a step back” leaves Rick Beato even greater.
    1
  7520. In just one short video, we get to see what an incredible soul your Aunt Penny was. I’m so sorry to hear of her passing but it’s wonderful to see the connection you two shared, as well as a brief glimpse of what she gave to those who were lucky enough to know her. My best to you, Rick. Rest In Peace Aunt Penny Rose.

  7521. The most under rated rock guitarist on earth is actually... Rick Beato. My humble opinion. There is, still to this day, nothing he can't do, and even with, as his words, some age related loss of dexterity, he is over the top in musicallity, knowledge, earing complexity, and execution for anything he plays sounds the best. I would listen to him jamming all day long and You, sir, are the reason why i picked up the guitar at 50 years old after a life of being a pianist.
    1
  7522. Rick seems to have listened to this song a few times.. ;-)
    1
  7523. Rick is not only one of the best explicators of pop rock-music , he does far and away the most ecstatic stank faces of anyone I can think of, either while playing or listening. A hugely likeable guy.
    1
  7524. This video is so much better listening with headphones on. Trying to hear it through laptop speakers absolutely does not do it justice.
    1
  7525. Phil’s tear at the end of his solo seriously melted my face off. Totally awesome.
    1
  7526. That was great. Even my wife watched this
    1
  7527. ​ @RickBeato  Yes, I know exactly what you think about this. That's why it was surprising - exactly because of the "WTF?" at the end of the title. However, thanks very much for the personal answer! All the best!
    1
  7528. Rick! You looks so stoked doing the air caveman, the unbridalled happiness was awesome, I rewound that part a bunch of times. Had no idea that was called the caveman, hillarious!
    1
  7529. Rick, you have found the lost ark with your Brendan O’Brien interview. I enjoyed your questions a lot about O’Brien’s work with one of my favorite bands, Stone Temple Pilots. I saw a short video from the band’s DVD of Scott Weiland sining into Dean DeLeo’s guitar pickup to record the opening of Dead And Bloated. The production quality of Core is still amazing to this day.
    1
  7530. It's funny...I'm a huge Seal fan, but I had tuned out this song because I got way over-saturated on it. It was everywhere. But now, seeing Rick's brilliant breakdown, I'm into it again. This is the crucial public service that Mr. Beato provides.
    1
  7531. Lovely tribute Rick. Had to listen to your gratuitous guitar solo three times and then download the Crowfield album. Thanks

  7532. Rick, Thank you, this was such an inspiring and insightful interview. These guys are right you're a goldmine

  7533. One of your first million subscribers. Of course you play guitar!

  7534. i think this is the craziest guitar video i've ever seen

  7535. This is the first Rick Beato video I watch. Pretty awesome. Subscribed.

  7536. He made a video on it previously, I believe.

  7537. Been a subscriber here since you had prob around 50 K subs - couldn't be more proud to see your channels growth and success. Yet another terrific video, and interview, Rick!

  7538. You passing on the vibe you got from your father, for it to be further evolving and to live on, is a world I want to live in.

  7539. I got The Goodnight Sky at a show at The Cotton Club; loved that record. I wish y’all had had better luck but very glad to see how it worked out for you.

  7541. Love the channel, and I watch all your content. What a wonderful, lovely Aunt to have in your life, Aunt Penny must have been amazing, I understand her thoughts on the progress of technology, I was a child of the 70s, and as a keyboard player I used the mini moog and mellotron and Hammond went on into software but I cannot understand a smartphone or its bloody apps. I am so sorry you have lost your mentor. I am a 65-year-old Brit and I still can't understand life and how it is to deal with the departure of someone you love. My thoughts are with you Rick, may Aunt Penny rest in peace.
    1
  7542. I'm fromGermany so I never heard of him... but man, I immediately fell in love with this great song... incredible what crap makes it into the charts meanwhile. This one is just a pearl... how can I get it? Cheers from Stuttgart...
    1
  7543. "I like that it's got guitar in it!" This must be Rick's private hell.
    1
  7544. COOL!!!! YOU ARE STILL ONE OF THE ONLY CATS THAT GET IT RIGHT! I DID A " THING" - w/ SCOTT HENDERSON - I believe his name is - AND the bottom line is that if you don't hear it it's impossible to play IT! ( THE TRIPPY PART OF ALL OF THIS IS THAT I COULDN'T WRAP MY FIST AROUND WHAT HE WAS DOING! IT WASN'T THAT IT WASN'T ANY GOOD - IT WAS JUST THAT I NEVER HEARD IT THAT WAY AND QUITE HONESTLY - I REALLY WOULDN'T WANT TO PLAY IT THAT WAY! TO PUT THINGS IN A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE; THAT'S NOT TO SAY THAT WE ALL HAVE OUR WAYS OF FINDING MELODIES AND MODAL CHANGES WHEN YOU GET INTO A JAZZ/IDIOM KIND OF A VIBE ) ! ESPECIALLY because we're the same age and everything was blues-based! So I just wanted to say THANK YOU for all you do and WHAT YOU DO and that it does help EVERYONE and it doesn't matter because I myself and playing for 44 years but there's ALWAYS something that you can learn! So thank you for your channel and THANK YOU for your TIME and PERSISTENCE in all of this my brother from another mother! Especially now with all this madness! GOD BLESS YOU MATE 💕💯🙏🛐☮️🙏

  7545. You were on Tangentially Speaking again! Man, I LOVE how much Chris Ryan loves you. Your conversations are the BEST! I listened to you guys while making lasagna last night and it was like serendipity or something because your talking about Beethoven and lasagna. Great episode. I’m so glad your willing to go on that show. I’m a huge fan of both of your work.
    1
  7546. Bro watching Rick enjoy the outro solo in this video is the most genuine thing i've ever seen and it gave me some light i really needed today.

  7547. I find your jazz videos incredibly informative and entertaining. I would say they enrich my life. Please don’t stop making them!

  7548. A true musical education/appreciation
    1
  7549. Rick, you are a special soul. You have such a deep understanding for the inner emotional flame and bright light that touches all of us musicians and listeners. Your sensitive approach for interviewing musicians and talking about .careers is heartwarming. Thank you so much.

  7550. I can't decide if that was the most entertaining educational content I've ever seen, or the most educational entertainment.... perfect!

  7551. Watch their feet. Rick is counting in fours. Brendan counts in sixtyfourths!!!Love this. Rick, you're the best thing on YouTube, taking off like a rocket.
    1
  7552. Dear, dear Rick. I watch your videos as soon they’re online. I love them and I learn by them. The reason I love your work is the honesty and the unconditional love for music and people that they show. This tender video for a great guitarfriend of yours is touching. Thank you for sharing this because music is key but sometimes friendships and life must come first. Please keep up the good work. Alice.

  7553. Go Rick!! Couldn’t agree with you more about how ridiculous that list was.

  7554. Rick, why do you hate Arkansas grown rice???? You never talk about Arkansas grown rice on your videos 😆😆😆😆😆😆

  7555. Your videos are so entertaining man. A buddy of mine showed me a videp of you breaking down korns freak on a leash and ive been watching you since

  7556. Wow! I learned so much. Pat is such a methodical and articulate guy. And I am amazed, Rick, at how much you know and all of the details you remember! Truly a magnificent interview.
    1
  7557. Rick is an absolute beast on Instagram videos!!!
    1
  7558. Rick, I really think these excellent interviews may be the best thing you've done. I don't know if anyone else is doing such in-depth interviews, especially how they were created, and even the thinking that went into them. You have a lot of great content on your channel but these may be my favorites.
    1
  7559. I subscribed to your channel because of this video. I notice you are mostly focused on rock in your other videos, however because of your direct down to earth teaching style, I can grasp your concepts quickly. Thank you

  7560. Jan Jan oh Jan.. What a voice on her! Thanks for your help on the list! (:

  7563. GREAT STORY !!! .... AND STORYTELLER ... ANOTHER SKILL.
    1
  7564. Wow! Some great playing, kinda Holdsworthian on places, and the sections at 4:55 and 13:00 reminded me of Oldfield's playing on a track called First Excursion. P.S. Just bought the Beato Book - gonna be something to look at over the coming weeks!
    1
  7565. And as always that you tube rings the Beato bell... i prepare my tequila drink, go to the corner where is my favourite couch, put the earphones, shut the phone off, have a sip and push the play on to be in the same room where the interviu is and stick like a fly in the wall... ✌😎

  7566. cool man - maybe change the amps every now and then (amp rotation) that would be cool
    1
  7567. Well if that ain't the best thing on YouTube, I don't know what is. Thank you, Rick!
    1
  7568. One word says it all about this channel and this interview. Love. Love of the intricacies of music, love for the instruments, and love for the intellectual and spiritual journey in music. Thank you Rick for this clear portal view into your musical universe. And BTW you are a killer backup guitar percussionist!
    1
  7569. Boy, you cross the line on this one. Big supporter of your channel, but not today.

  7570. I swear, this channel has the best comments section.

  7571. this is hands down the best channel on YT. There is nothing even close.

  7572. Rick is the Smithsonian of our generation of music - a unique and wonderful period of musical creativity that needs to be documented for future generations. Please Rick get to Donald Fagan and explore the whole SD thing 🙂

  7573. So many have already written, but I thank You so for this experience

  7575. Great job moving past it Rick. Also nice to see old Minerva Deland in the backgrounds.

  7576. Rick is among my favorite YouTubers. He is a great teacher and a wonderful human being. Rick's enthusiasm for music and life is inspiring! I have suggested every teacher I know watch this video.
    1
  7577. I am so impressed by Brad Mehldau’s way of talking that I would listen to this conversation with Rick Beato over and over again. It sounds so natural and convincing and so full of joy and respect to music itself. Thank you Rick and Brad, this is one heaven to listen to.
    1
  7578. This is the sort of story I would loved to hear straight from Rick sat in a bar drinking a cold beer.
    1
  7579. Rick's Mom gives him the gift of music...Rick turns around and gives it back to the world. Every one of your videos is celestial. thank you

  7580. Brilliant. I was just informed by my teenager that their music teacher plays your videos in his class at their school!
    1
  7581. Sitting down having breakfast & surfing YouTube for something to catch my interest on my little 10" tablet and came across this video - almost 2 hours later I can only say that it was one of the most entertaining interviews with a musician I've ever seen. Andy - what a nice guy & I only hope that every ounce of the story about himself, Clapton and the 'Les Paul' guitars was true!😊

  7585. I just watched a youtube vid of Andrés Segovia. Good Lord.

  7587. Great, great moment at 51:31. Seeing Thomas Newman's reaction and the clip side by side. 🙂 When I walked out of "The Shawshank Redemption" for the first time 30 years ago, I was working as a film critic, and after the press screening I said to myself: "This is the kind of American film, that used to be a classic." I never thought it would become one, but Mr. Newman's music still encapsulates the best qualities of the entire film and the intentions of its makers. Wonderful interview and work on your channel.
    1
  7588. I'm a TE fanboy. I've watched so many TE interviews I've lost count. This is the best one yet.

  7589. Rhett Shull is building a studio in his basement of his new home, are you giving him any advice on that? I thought of you when he spoke about the studio in one of his recent videos. :)
    1
  7590. Like producer Trevor Horn, who's style tuned me to follow various artists and I did so without realising he was involved, Thomas Newman's works have been the backbone of some of my favourite films and television shows, again without initially realising they were his creation until the end credits. Thomas Newman has actually taught me to pay attention to the opening music credits. His style is quite distinctive and having his name associated with a production just adds so much to your viewing pleasure. Rick, your desire to consume as much of Thomas' insight , knowledge, ideas, nuance as you can is so palpable. You clearly respect this brilliant composer. I was going to watch 30 mins of this and pick it up in the morning - I stayed up late and watched it all. What a great "interview"? No, what a great conversation.

  7591. Ok since no one else has said it yet… SLAYER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  7592. Rick, if u can manage to come to Europe, I'll b there 4 sure. And a bunch of my friends who r your fans will b there as well no doubt! It makes no difference whether u'll be playing guitar or keys or whatever.... Thanx 4 everything u do...
    1
  7593. oh my god i am rick beato
    1
  7594. Rick listened and watched the entire video. Why do I watch you. I am a 59yr old that has no musical ability but loves music. Your shows to me are like talk back radio on a really interesting topic. I learn something regardless and I can just have the earbuds in and only listen if I want. And when you have other interesting people on it is even better as you have a gift for engagement. Please don’t stop.
    1
  7595. U were at intuit!!!! I was there and Hollywood I’d say intuit was the best LA show

  7596. I know what I hear but I can never describe it as well as Rick, or even a lot of the responses here, can do. Thanks to all of you who post here and the crew in the video.

  7597. "....like that." 😂

  7598. This is one of the best things I've ever seen on YouTube. Thank you guys!

  7599. The issue regarding the lack of interest in music today has to do with a number factors other than the just the availability of good quality music. This generation has so much more media choice today than 50 years ago when the music business was at its peek. The current generation have laptops, iPhones, iBooks, iPads games consoles streaming videos, games, books, music, information, shopping on line and of course social media. It’s no wonder they don’t spend their time listening to music especially when what’s available is either a remake of what’s already been done or just pop garbage. You only have examine how the young today utilise their time to see why the interest in musical creativity is in decline. This generation spend much more of their available leisure time and energy in different and more varied activities including gaming, sport, cinema, travel etc the time they have available for music is less and less. Some schools now don’t include music on their curriculum. It is a fact that technological investment is no longer focused on the creative part of the music business because the young have their interests focused on other technologies and other more apparently “accessible” media. They really don’t know what they are missing.

  7600. I didn't expect this much Martial Arts talk - I mean, I'm here for it! Just pleasantly unexpected.
    1
  7601. Thank you Rick for this great sophisticated natural interview. I hardly saw David so cool and open in an interview, this shows what a natural talented interviewer - or better conversation partner - you are. I think after your talk with Björn regarding AI nearly 2 years ago this is my fav by you not only because I am a Floydian and Gilmour fan.
    1
  7602. This was a lot of fun. And it even crossed over to be enjoyed by some of my non-musician friends. I second the idea of others trying Kid Charlemagne.

  7603. umm when you changed the title of the video i clicked instantly but before when it was called my melodic arpeggio practice routine i didnt even bother, good job with keeping an eye on titles and changing stuff to catch my attention
    1
  7604. Dude! Rick! What the hell? You learned that LAST NIGHT?? I'd have nightmares if I had to learn that lick. But, if I learned it, it would be worth the loss of sleep.
    1
  7605. Great video. I personally like the p90 in the bridge for the dirty sound and the mini humbucker in the neck for the clean sound. I was surprised at how much different the mini humbucker sounded. I can clearly hear the sound of me buying another guitar!!
    1
  7606. Thank you for these interviews. YouTube is full of fragments, shards, bits and pieces with many greats. This is becoming a library of high-quality, lengthy amounts of time spent with greats, and that is a great legacy. For our sakes, I hope you keep wanting to do them!
    1
  7607. Rick, I’ve been a subscriber of yours for a long time, so I know this must have made you incredibly happy, and you totally deserve to be totally over-the-moon-deliriously happy about it! And it makes me so happy for you too. This is a GREAT interview!
    1
  7608. Man, I love your solo at the end of ‘Cardinal Motion’! I’ve now listened to it at least 5 times. Wonderful tribute to Johnny Diamond.

  7609. OMG... All my friends love you Rick! That tells me I am not wrong. This is the BEST channel ever! You have so much respect!

  7610. This guy name dropped Dark Shadows. I loved the cheesiness. One takes, line mess ups, seeing the stick the bat is dangling from in the window.

  7611. Interviews like this is why your work is so popular and appreciated. Thank you for your ability to bring the pros to the table. What Makes this Interview Great? Rick and generous subjects. Can't wait for Joni part deux.

  7612. Those are drop c# not drop d.

  7614. I always read comments on my favourite channels, but the words from your channel viewers are the best. I hardly ever think I could add anything more witty, thoughtful or intelligent.

  7615. Great interview! Would love to see you talk with Giles Martin about his Beatles work
    1
  7616. Rick have you always had Golden ears? or did you have to work on them from doing pitch exercises and such? I love the way you know what is being played just by listening to it. That is a skill i would kill for!

  7617. Rick, you are amazing person. Thank you for having the courage to share such a personal story with us. It was an incredibly brave thing to do.

  7618. Just a shout-out to some of his greatest stuff, which is never mentioned because these albums and tracks are not connected to famous names: Ryu Okumoto - Makin' Rock (1980) Baked Potato Super Live (1981) David Roberts - All Dressed Up (1982) i-Ten - Taking A Cold Look (1983) Boz Scaggs - Middle Man (1980) Ray Kennedy - Ray Kennedy (1980) Fee Waybill - Read My Lips (1984) Brothers Johnson - "I Want You" (1981) Udo Jürgens - "Shouldn't It Be Love" (1981) Nielsen/Pearsen - "Hasty Heart" (1983) Laura Branigan - "Living A Lie" (1982) Jacksons - "Wait" (1984) Of course, Toto's "Jake To The Bone" (1992) I'm not a guitarist, but it sounds like he is using the Ibanez tube screamer on the Udo Jürgens track, which is also all over the Baked Potato album from the same year.

  7619. How can someone comment on an interview posted up 35 minutes ago that is an hour and 28 min long without missing out on something. I am guilty too!
    1
  7620. Wow, the most amazing 30 minutes music class I've ever had! All on Youtube for free?!?!?!? Simply AMAZING!!! And what's even better is think about how many young songwriters will watch this and think... "Hmm, let me try that.."! Thank you man!

  7621. I've seen a lot of tommy's interview, this one is the best by a mile

  7622. Nah, that Bach guy (who ever he is) stole that from Paul Gilbert. I've heard him play that. I think it's called the bad tempered clavicle or something...

  7623. how long have i gone not noticing baby yoda

  7624. Without "Can't You Hear Me Knockin'" this list loses all credibility.

  7625. I saw both shows in San Francisco the nights before the show in Santa Barbara. Thank you for spotlighting Joni - she is GOAT for me. Hejira is the first time I listened to an entire album by accident. Of course I knew of Joni, but this album grabbed me like no other before or since. Needless to say, I bought every album I could find, then later CDs. Again, thank you Rick! I knew I liked you for a reason :)

  7626. Your brain is brilliant Mr. Beato! The idea alone is amazing. The fruition is inspiring!

  7627. Fantastic video and story Rick! Ithaca College eh? Checking in from Cornell University, ITHACA, NY - HA! Employed here for 23 years and counting in the AV Classroom Technologies field.

  7628. Thanks. From Denmark.

  7629. This song is Killer! It's got a bit of a swervedriver vibe. It would be awesome if you went back and touched it up and released it for people to download. I'd blast this in my car!

  7630. I'm disappointed in myself for not having watched this when I saw it upload. This is one of the greatest musician interviews I've ever seen.

  7632. Rick. I really needed to hear all this. I’m not currently a YouTuber… but this is so knowledgeable in general. I love this perspective

  7634. Rick- Having Sting, Stewart & Andy’s comments on this was like Elon sending his own Tesla to Space on his own SpaceX rocket. You have done something that only you could do 🤩

  7639. Not only does this reveal so much about the 12-year-old Rick Beato, but having Ken Brown’s adult children chiming in here in the comments is a tribute to what the adult Rick Beato continues to give us all: a very real shared love for music and the beauty it lends our lives
    1
  7640. A key point to this is the illustration of how much those guys were actively listening and conversing while playing the framework of the tune. That is the essence of Jazz for me - the improvised "in the moment" stuff. Great video, as always, Rick!

  7644. Wow, what an amazing video. This should be required viewing for any formal music education program. So much great info explained and demonstrated in a way that musicians to even non-musical people can appreciate.

  7647. I want to say that an hour forty five probably didn't scratch either the surface or Rick Beato's itch to spend a week, month or year interviewing whom I've always considered a musical genius as well as a musical icon for all the right reasons, his total dedication to his chosen and what has to be imho God given craft. For only a special person such as Pat could possibly touch as many lives as he has in such a positive way. He is truly one of the few musicians that I feel has touched my life, my soul, well beyond what music may have ordinarily done to me. I've read/seen a number of interviews/conversations with Pat over the decades and he has always seemed forthright and honest. I've had the pleasure of witnessing him live since the American Garage Tour here@Avery Fisher Hall in December '78 after being introduced to the brilliance that was the PMG at the beginning of '78 through the best free form radio station ever to exist, NYC"s WNEW-FM. And this clearly was my favorite interview of his ever. His love for the "music" is undeniable as is for those that created the music he both listened to and respected as well as for their makers shone thru his radiant smile. The same for his colleagues past and present. His selflessness is the ultimate respect to who he is at the core and what he has and does believe in. His humbleness flies in the face of the patting themselves on the back as too many have done, only to forget why they did it in the 1st place. That will never happen to Pat, one of the greatest but we will never hear that come out of his mouth. I smiled a lot, choked up a bit at other points but he clearly loved Jaco and Lyle and his talking about them as both friends and musicians was very touching indeed. This interview should go into the Smithsonian as an example of how to have a conversation with a musician' s musician. I'm not a musician but I fully understood the principles that he spoke about that makes him the human being making music that he is. Bravo and cheers, this is an instant best of 2021.

  7648. Rick, I travelled to London from Australia in 1989 to find a Master Jeweller to teach me Victorian jewellery making techniques, on a whim, and spent 3 years under the tutelage of one of England’s greatest Master Jewellers. At times i walked around London in tears of frustration at my inability to master these skills. My mentor (Graham) nurtured me in the old school ways and from this i became a Master Jeweller my self. Finding a true mentor has change my life and at his insistence I have passed the skills on. Mentors are a key to evolution in skill. Love your channel. Rick.

  7663. Rick you're a rare bird. A musical polymath. I love your channel and I love the content, the stories, the practical guidance. Someone should be appreciating you as hard as you appreciate the talents you work with. God bless you and Merry Christmas (if that's your thing).

  7664. Mr. Beato: your videos are truly wonderful. God bless you for sharing your life with us.

  7665. Rick, I just saw this video today and I am (belatedly) so sorry for the loss of your wonderful Aunt Penny. What a moving tribute to her. I wish we all had an Aunt like her. Thanks so much for sharing this.

  7666. Lovely window on your authenticity & genuine love of music & musicians Rick. Thanks for sharing your joy!

  7667. Every guitar rick pulls out is fucking beautiful !!!! That PRS

  7668. I think what makes these interviews so special is there is room to breathe and allow musicians to share their profound love for music. Respect between interviewer and interviewee is what makes this possible, both parties know that they have that deep connection to the art, to the emotions and connections that it conjures.

  7674. Fantastic!

  7675. Thank you Rick. Besides listening to Bill Moyers series of interviews with Joseph Campbell (The Power of Myth) this was probably the longest interview I’ve ever watched and that is a testament to your skill as an interviewer and your passion for the subject and the interviewee. It made me reflect on Robert Pirsig’s ‘Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance”: you have that objective knowledge and the subjective caring and passion which together makes what you bring to the table a helluva good thing. Kudos on a great interview. Looking forward to watching and learning more. By the way I found myself writing notes after watching parts of the interview it was that good!

  7676. Rick I know I’ve shared this before, but not only tinnitus but I’ve been having issues where certain frequencies I’ll get a crackle in my left ear as well as every time I swallow I get a pop. Fortunately today there’s no ringing. Funny thing is my dad used to tell me all the time when I was cranking music in my basement, he told me turn it down you’re gonna lose your hearing. Should’ve listen to him eh?

  7682. Rick I have no idea how you managed to keep it together doing this video. You made me cry listening to your experience. You have a kind and warm heart and the least I can do is subscribe as a thank you for sharing your story .Peace and Love brother 👍🏻☮❤

  7683. Great tips, thanks Rick! I hadn't watched any of your videos for a while and the production value of this has increased a LOT - looking and sounding excellent!

  7687. How can a Yotube content-maker do a 3 hour interview and sustain viewer interest in the conversation? Be Rick Beato, and interview Daniel Lanois.
    1
  7688. @30:03 and then @30:44 is why Rick has so many subscribers and an appreciative community. just amazing insight to the conversation/questions from as a guitarist/ producer and overall artist & engineer.

  7689. There's everyone else and every other YouTube Channel and then there's Rick Beato. Best thing to come out of the pandemic was finding Rick Beato. Great interview Rick.
    1
  7690. Thats how you interview a superstar like this I have never seen an interview this good ever. Also, for that song "we're gone" at the end you absolutely should invite Bono in as a guest voice kind of like Robbie did I think that would sound just amazing

  7691. Fucking hell Rick this is the most compelling and entertaining 40 minutes of video I’ve ever watched. My 8 year old daughter was captivated too. Just fascinating. Thank you, sir.

  7692. Rick has such a great personality, after watching his videos , I feel like I just hung out with an old Buddy listening or Jamming ,…I’m a Musician and have the same thing, …boxes of 100s of Cassettes from 4tracks and Reel to Reel tapes , and Mini-discs where I used to put all the masters once,..I can’t listen to them all ,….we grew old and have kids now ,..but sometimes I’ll just reach in and pick a tape ,..like a lottery,…and sometimes I’ll even run the old songs into Cubasis on my I-pad and add some Mastering-Track effects and EQs,…it really can totally salvage an old song. I’m always in a better mood after watching his Show though.

  7693. I saw what you did there with your table. BADASS!

  7698. Mr. Beato is a A level presenter, interviewer, educator and music theorist (if that's a thing) the list goes on and on. It appears to me that he presents the subject matter or interviews the artist's, producer's and other talent's, from the baseline of his love and knowledge of music, without any of the social or political influences that dominate, dictate and IMHO have destroyed those sources we used to turn to in the past for this type of content. For me, specifically speaking about the music theory knowledge he provides, it's a graduate level of music knowledge that a working man like me would never have access to otherwise. Even if I went to college I was never talented enough at guitar to get into any university level music program.
    1
  7699. I can't play one single note of anything.. but I watch every minute of every video of yours as if I'm a seasoned musician here in Nashville. Probably my favorite channel on YouTube. Thanks brother for what you do
    1
  7700. Rick, Thank you for turning me on to Martha Argerich. A few weeks ago I heard you mention her as a virtuoso, and you recommended checking her out. I have and she's totally awesome. I have already purchased three concert videos and several of her CDs, I wish I had heard of her earlier in my life. She is amazing to watch and listen to. It's mind boggling to see her perform all this music from memory.
    1
  7701. People who are expressing shock that Coldplay is a hated band must have had their heads shoved in a very dark place for the past two decades. I never liked Chris Martin’s vocal style- it’s the high notes that annoy me- but even I have to admit this song is great.
    1
  7702. Amazing tribute Rick. I loved all our gigs together and your input about my cymbal beat one day in your office. I get to play with Steve almost every week in Elmira. He is playing better than ever! My freshman year (1982) Steve hired me to play in his band with Persad and Jimmy Gannon. He was tough on me...but that's where I learned the most. Great tribute! Happy Birthday Steve. Can't wait to play this Thursday!

  7703. The best one yet Rick! Seal said it all. I never paid to much attention to this song because it's not my preferred genre but wow have you opened my eyes! Thank you Rick!

  7706. Fabulous commentary at the end!

  7707. I love you. The first thing I think in a band is "am I needed". I like to lay out. Coming back sounds great if done well. Not many message this. Thank you Rick.

  7708. This is actually awesome in some strange way. And is the reason I enjoy Rick Beato so much; one never knows quite what he is going to bring up at any particular point, or how he is going to tackle things. Cheers 🍺
    1
  7709. That was so much fun. I have watched pretty much every one of Rick's videos and enjoyed them all but this one was off the charts. Caught myself grinning half way through. More please!!!! Alternate takes on Steely Dan solos almost seems reductive because there were always multiple versions while Fagen and Becker tried to get the one they were looking for, but Kid Charlamagne in other guitarists' voices would be seriously cool. It's another solo that is so ingrained in guitar players brains that it will be fun to see it re-imagined. Can't have been easy, even Rick slipped into a Jimmy line while doing his Frampton version.

  7710. Dear Rick I am a silent fan of yours from Vienna, Austria. This is not the hardest, rather the sweetest video you've ever made !

  7715. Rick, Thank you for this amazing interview of my favorite musician, David Gilmour. Went to the 11/9 show in NY at MSG with my two sons and it was a memory of a lifetime. At 60 years old it is by far the Best show I have ever seen. Your interview was awesome. Congratulations!

  7716. totally watched in one sitting. great stuff.

  7717. Once again, Rick Beato shows that he is the best interviewer on the web or TV. He guides the conversation yet stays out of the way. Not sure how that's done exactly, but RB does it super well. Kudos! Michael Omartian, I loved your work even before I knew it was you, so thanks again to RB for bringing you to us. It was great listening to you. 3 days, nearly 3,000 comments all singing praise for RB. Seems about right. Absolutely loved this.

  7718. I did not intend to get swallowed up in a Rick Beato interview at 7PM on a Saturday night, but that is exactly what happened. Totally locked in. Goddam man! This was fantastic. Enjoyed every minute!

  7719. I know Rick loves Mastodon--where's the love today? lol

  7720. Looks a lot like your Thomas Newman interview. I wish you would interview more composers

  7721. What a beautiful tribute to your dad. You share that with such sincerity and it's a real pleasure to imagine playing that well while seeing someone accomplish it. Thank you so much for sharing!

  7724. Making this video made Rhett regret the entirety of his career. You can see it in his face. It's like he just found out he's been throwing away non-disposable cameras for 5 years.

  7725. I know this is off topic but the lighting in your videos is perfect. Long may you glow.

  7726. It’s not your content, it’s your enthusiasm, commitment and devotion.
    1
  7727. I loved this episode Rick. Not because the song is so great (which it is). Not because the mixing and overall production are so great (which they are). No - because of your enthusiasm about the track. That is what makes you the incredible teacher that you are - you inspire with your enthusiasm. Wish I had you to learn from in my youth. Thanks for what you do!
    1
  7728. The bridge of that alternate mix has a bit more of a Peter Gabriel feel to it, with the bass up and a little bit more worldy sounding. I can see why they thought about that, and why they didn't go with it.

  7729. Just found this channel! New big fan
    1
  7730. I'd imagine that people in history who have done great things were seen as defective by others in their time because they didn't fit in or were jealous. Your mother was truly a strong willed person with a huge heart, as she shared it with all you siblings & everyone else. Your coach saw something and fed that fire. All of you went on to become extremely successful. Persistence and asking questions for things you don't know but are interested in fuel desire to seek the answers, with passion. You exude passion about all your experiences, plus being so honest & caring of stretching goals, analysis, accuracy, experimentation, sharing other peoples skills and experiences, makes your channel a joy to watch & listen. Anyone that isn't totally blown away with your broad, deep knowledge of all subjects you speak of isn't paying attention. You are truly a master of reality. This segment could be called "What makes Rick Beato great?" Big thanks!
    1
  7731. I've never questioned the quality of human being you are, Rick, I find it obvious. This video of insight, patience, love and suck gracious giving simply and clearly cements, not only the quality human being you are, but the incredible family that has made you the man you are. Behind ALL good people are loving, caring and gracious people that have given of themselves. Rick Beato = Quality Rick Beato and Family = Inspirational Parents, people and participants = emulate. RIP Aunt Penny.

  7732. Amazing! - apologies I have to sharply limit my viewing. I donated by PayPal a while ago - will gladly donate more when I can. Such a magnificently done channel and such a great personality. Really happy for Rick.

  7733. Rick, this is the best youtube video of 2020 so far! You deserve to get to 2 million subscribers for this alone. Comfortably Numb next i think, being as you've already set the bar so high!
    1
  7734. Definitely, one of the most emotional and important video that you ever made, Rick. Thanks a lot for this and for all your work for music.
    1
  7735. Dude! I don't know you from Adam (I don't think) but I spent 12 years, 1977 - 1989 in Ithaca NY working at the Chariot and The Nines in Collegetown while also playing music. I wouldn't be surprised if we knew people in common!
    1
  7736. Your channel is outstanding. I look forward to your new videos and I can assure you I don't know the chords and notes you play and never will. I played instruments as a kid but I am not a musician. But for some reason I love watching your channel. I love your what makes this song great videos (sorry you don't make anything) because it is much of the same music I have loved. The breakdown is so fun to watch. Thank you for putting this video together about reading comprehension troubles. I too had much the same issue. But through that struggle even with bad grades in reading and writing courses I have found my success. Good on you.

  7737. It's interesting to see that some of the most forward-thinking minds in music are these old guys. So much love and passion

  7739. Somebody wants another boxed set and a free dinner! :). Just joshing. Thanks for another great video. Btw, the interesting thing about MA is.... there are really a lot of really wonderful pianists out there. And when you hear them you awed...... until you hear Martha Argerich. And she just has something that no one else has. Also, btw, I'm a classical guy but really love your videos and surprisingly for me.... your classical ones too. I say surprising since I find your classical videos are just as insightful as the other popular music ones

  7740. I just saw a Post in the Djent Shitposting Group on FB, Rick with his new Abasi Guitar. Comment was: .... that Dude (Rick) shreds like a MF. I liked that a lot.

  7746. What a truly fantastic interview. Rick Wakeman an amazing talent with an awesome career. What made this so good was also the fact that you Rick were there not interrupting every 2 minutes - so rare these days where it seems the interviewers want to grab as much of the 'spotlight' as the guest. If I'm honest Rick it felt as though you were just as immersed in Mr Wakeman's stories and recollections as I was and it was great to watch. Superb - thank you!
    1
  7747. Did Rick just reference 'Rock of Ages' by Def Leppard?! 😳
    1
  7748. Excellent video, Rick. One more thing to consider about Beethoven's sense of pitch was that pitch was not standardized then as it is today, Often, it was around A=415, which is about a half-tone lower than our A=440. The "original instrument" ensembles that have proliferated in the last decades usually play at about 415. So, maybe the "9th in D-flat" you played was how it really sounded then. BTW, I'm also a tinnitus sufferer, and as with you, it comes and goes, often on a daily basis. Sometimes, I'll be listening with excellent hearing and drift briefly off to sleep --- then awaken to bad ringing. Or vice versa. Frustrating, isnt' it? Anyhow, we really enjoy your channel. Take care.

  7751. Rick, my wife and I are both BIG Urban fans. Because of that, we've listened to dozens upon dozens of his interviews. Rick, this may very well be the best ever. You made it so fun; all of the right questions and you gave him room to answer. You could tell he was really enjoying himself. Great job Rick!
    1
  7752. Rick being steeped in jazz is a foundation that is immeasurably underappreciated in the overall world of music. Ron Carter is a God. He is a musicians musician. Please people - take the time to look up some of his work and...LISTEN. It WILL enlighten. Thank you Rick, you tie it all together. Respect 🙏

  7753. Thank you, thank you, Rick Beato.. for probably your best video to date.. what happened to you, made no sense to me.. you are 'awesome in this place'.. please, don't stop doing what you do.. would you do more vids on Yes.. and thank you, for letting me share you.. love you and, God bless you, sir!

  7756. Its so rare that a person can give so much without taking anything..I can't imagine being deaf and still go to my practice room just to look at my gear let alone do what He did. GREATNESS.. Thank you Rick this was so beautiful.

  7757. 6:06 The difference between me and Rick! I hear a beautiful blur! He hears--"What was that!"--the separation! Like Barry Bonds seeing pitches!
    1
  7758. Two things happened to me during this amazing interview. First: I realized how little I know about music, even though I have been playing jazz and classical for about fifty-five years. Second: I realized that I really learned so much while listening to these two brilliant, and insightful, musicians who have remained endlessly creative and curious. Brad and Rick are so good at connecting genres by seeing and fusing the best of each.

  7759. Mom's, and Aunts..priceless!!

  7760. So much LOVE Rick! Your Aunt Penny lives on in your music and IN YOU! I am still misty-eyed from her playing of Summertime & Yesterday. Reminds me of my Uncle Don...my godfather...we would always play music together and I miss him dearly. There are songs I hear that will always remijd me of him and I try to play them as often as I can.
    1
  7761. Wow Rick! Forgive my familiarity of tone, but, I really get this. It's gratitude and humility earned over hard sacrifice in the face of rejection and perceived failure. I do hope we meet someday. When, not if, I am successful in sharing my journey and contributing to those needing encouragement via a YouTube channel, you will be credited with your permission as one powerful inspiration and encouragement to me. Your sharing in this manner this story keeps me as I buckle down to overcome perceived limitations to learning. I can do it. Viewers can do it. We can progress. I do know your fulfillment with my own family and child. Thank you. Sam Hatman

  7763. To anyone watching this video saying wtf is he talking about...lol. But I've been watching RB for over 2-years, and I can honestly say that after watching hundreds of his videos, I actually understand what he is saying. So, buy the Beato Book, which helps a lot and just keep watching his videos. Because one day it will slowly kick-in. Once again, there is no one like RB👍🎼🎶🎵

  7764. that guitar solo is pristine, exquisite

  7765. I think Ringo's "the luckiest man in the world", but you're gaining ground on him :^)

  7766. Best YouTube channel, ever. No contest.
    1
  7767. Is it possible to completely fall in love with a person watching just a single video??? Aunt Penny proved that this is possible!! Rick, you can be sure of one thing: anyone with a minimum of sensitivity is also feeling some of your pain. I am a Brazilian frequent fan of your channel and I am extremely grateful for gifting us with the beautiful spirit of Aunt Penny. God bless her and God bless you 🙏🏼

  7768. The negative space below the Lennon art above the couch is functional though because people can't lean back and hit their head on it. The question is, did you already own those organ-height pedals – or did you buy all of them to fit that sightline? Cause that might be crazy. LOL Also, a professional designer, myself, I did not expect to hear font talk on this channel!

  7769. Good for you Rick, keep culturing the world.

  7770. this was an experience. not a comment i'd usually make on a youtube video. really great.
    1
  7771. Well done Rick! I enjoyed this video as well as your Bach video earlier on your channel. Keep them coming!
    1
  7772. So after all the (dumb) fake background accusations, Rick immediately admits the fake background straight up front. Bravo!
    1
  7773. I am only 5 minutes in and it is clear I need to put down the book I am reading, set aside my guitar, and give a serious listen. What a great interview. Really looking forward to the full hour and forty five.
    1
  7774. I echo so many of the great comments here. I ended up staying up until 2:12am, listening to this interview, because I had to finish listening to all of it. An awesome piece of history!
    1
  7775. Awesome to see an "old school Rick Beato" lesson back in the channel. I'm sure both pros and music aficionados miss listening to you talk about music in this detailed way. Interviews are next level great but sometimes I miss listening to YOU talk about music and how YOU think about it. Hope this little comment helps with video visibility in the algorithm and we can get more of these videos. Great stuff, Rick!
    1
  7776. Congrats on your CNN article, Rick! I was proud as well because I, along with thousands of others, feel like we discovered you many, many years ago on YouTube!

  7777. The old dude owns it.

  7778. Oh man so sorry for this xxx Aunt Penny was a lovely huge force.

  7779. Thank you! After over 100 Episodes, this is one of your best! Even though i'm not with U2 anymore (loved them in the 80s) i just want to hear the hole record right now :-)

  7780. Sorry, I know this is unrelated, but you recently did The Doobie Brothers video on your livestream and mentioned that you have never covered them in a video before and now Jim Croce that you have not previously visited. I'm sure, despite your numerous wide ranging videos, there are plenty more amazing artists that you are yet to cover, but they don't always come to mind until you do a video about them. That said, earlier I was listening to a playlist and I Feel Free by Cream came on and the layered intro reminded me of your comments about the layering at the beginning of Paperback Writer and it occurred to me that, whilst you have mentioned Eric Clapton many times in your videos, I don't recall anything specifically about Cream. Maybe I'm just not remembering or maybe they have been covered within a compilation that I've forgotten about, but I did a quick search of your channel for Cream and, although Eric Clapton comes up at the beginning of the search results, I didn't see any mention of Cream. Anyway, I think I have probably said Cream enough now.

  7781. Rick--- have done everything I can somewhat afford. It only took 2 of your presentations and I subscribed. I have bought your book, the Ear training course and the quick guitar program. I am unlikely to live long enough to make the best use of them. Oh, and a mug. You have taught me more than any other guitar teacher ( well John Hatcher has helped with acoustic blues) , Thank you
    1
  7782. Rick, the day you quit is the day I quit.
    1
  7783. Rick your tours through jazz are just jaw-dropping. I bought the Miles albums as a result of your Picasso vid. I love jazz but the insight you bring takes it to the highest level of appreciation. Do more... please! Thank you.
    1
  7784. Rick, as a long time teacher myself, you absolutely nailed it! Thank you for making this video, I'm going to share it with every teacher I know!
    1
  7785. I subscibed to You about a year ago. Your knowledge and Wisdom in Music are informative and fun. Tuesday 8-16-22 will be the 40th anniversary of me getting my first guitar. I am learning and growing now more than ever. Don't ever stop. Your journey will continue as long as you want it to.

  7786. Rick, I don’t know if I’d recognize my own family if the music disappeared. As in yours, it’s woven into what family means to us. Thanks to you, and now I see also to Aunt Penny, our enjoyment is reaching new heights/depths. We’re proud owners of the Beato Book and were within $5 of being able to take advantage of the recent sale on the ear training course. (It will happen. We’re determined.) 2 of my 5 children have absolute pitch, so I’m hoping that means I won’t have to share the ear training course quite as much. From each of my musical family to you and each of yours, thank you for everything you do. Thank you for your honesty, your bravery in sharing matters of the heart, and your dedication to enriching and unleashing the music in everyone you touch. We wish you all the comfort possible as this beautiful woman shifts from gracing your sight to further strengthening your heart. We’ll see you soon here in the channel and in short order, in our liner notes. ~14 grateful ears (I won’t speak for the dog)

  7787. Such subtlety .....Rick flexed hard...but very casually...!! WOW!!!

  7788. Rick Beato true true, I still love your vids though so I don’t want to be too rude, sorry
    1
  7789. Rick... how can you possibly remember the mics and cables that were above a drum kit 24 years ago. There is something seriously wrong with you...😂 ❤
    1
  7790. Your still where your meant to be my good man 😂
    1
  7791. FANTASTIC INTERVIEW!! ONE OF THE FINEST I HAVE EVER SEEN!!
    1
  7792. Clearly, Rick doesn't know squat. Niigel Tufnel says amps should be turned up to 11. Sorry, I couldn't resist.
    1
  7793. Right on, Rick! Albums are my life soundtrack! All the live shows promoting new work is great!
    1
  7794. The conversation keeps mentioning "kids picking up guitars", do you we have the age demographics of who is actually buying all the guitars right now? Is it across all age groups, or just people over 30 or 40?
    1
  7795. It's not a rant if it's TRUE!!! If If Rick's channel isn't a defining example of "fair use" then god help us. Speaking of which....Preach Rick, Preach🙌🙌🙌

  7796. Great to see Layla with you on a video. Really pleased Jacob made your list too, he's incredible. Merry Christmas 😊🙏🎄
    1
  7797. I was a senior in High School….. the whole world mourned…. For me the only hero death which affected me like this was Jaco’s. I was at Berklee and one of MANY Jaco wannabes.I had made a promise to myself, that if I ever got to NY, I was gonna try to help Jaco…. I got to see him at Johnathan Swift’s and told him how much I loved him (his music)….that’s the only chance I got
    1
  7798. “He didn’t know what he was doing.” Fuck that argument. He knew exactly what he was doing. He knew it better than any music theorist says his music was about. Did he know 5ths or 9ths or this mode or that mode? No, but he had an ear and could compose with the best of them.

  7799. Que entrevista MARAVILHOSA. Épica e histórica!!
    1
  7800. this videos are extremely helpful as sound engineer student, thanks Rick, keep the good work!
    1
  7801. I think the magic that Rick has, and why Maynard actually opens up and enjoys the conversation, is that he's a music lover and truly wants to understand Maynard as an artist. A master artist, at that. It isnt just questions for a sound byte, Rick genuinely has a passion for what Maynard does. Great conversation. Thank you.
    1
  7802. MP shout out! Go, Rick! ;)

  7803. This is so cool Rick. It really hits home with me being that I'm a former Indie Pro wrestler and huge rock fan. Great stuff. Keep it coming.

  7805. The real about life is what makes you authentic and approachable to us. Thanks. Well done.

  7806. As a former pro pianist myself who LOVES Oscar P., this brought literal tears to my eyes once he hit that stride. Effing genius.

  7807. Rick, you are doing very important work. Us young musicians want to carry the torch of the legends.
    1
  7808. Wow Wow Wow. Thank you for this interview Rick. I'm a drummer and drum teacher from Port Elizabeth, South Africa 🇿🇦, but I loved every second of this interview. Same with Gregg Bissonette and also Sting. We are truly fortunate to be able to hear their thoughts and their stories from the past...in the era when I grew up in. Thank you Thank You Rick. Love your channel and share your videos to all my students and fellow musician friends. 😊

  7809. Hi Rick, been a follower/subscriber of channel for a long time. Always amazed by the information you share on your channel. Its great to see how the channel has evolved over the years and its current trajectory. You are the best interviewer on the web hands down. Its awesome to watch and listen to your ability to interview(another great gift). Literally putting legends in their seats, answering real questions that we as musicians always wanted to ask.. Amazing Job!!!

  7810. Great interviews, and I appreciate your knowledge. thank you for caring and sharing with all of us.

  7811. Rick, this is a masterclass. Thank you.

  7812. From Toto straight to Swervedriver, you got to have an open mind to appreaciete different kinds of musical expressions.

  7813. Rick, you continue to make your mark with these stellar interviews; your vibe as an interviewer is the best, questions are perfect, and Skunk was awesome; keep em comin'

  7814. Rick, been following you for years and seeing you just rock along to these rock tunings w your nice collection of guitars and solid tones and playing is inspiring. Keep this series up!
    1
  7815. Since you are here, plan to listen to this several times because there are layers of riches in this conversation.

  7816. I’m not even a big follower of music, but something about Rick B.’s interviews and content in general just draws me in. I aspire to be as wise and mature as Rick someday.

  7817. As a dyslexia specialist, it's fascinating to hear this. Memory is very complex and it's possible to have issues with short term auditory working memory and have amazingly good episodic memory etc. What we are discovering is that people who have different but brilliant brains that make academic learning harder work also find those brains give them incredible advantages once they leave academia. Inspiring story. And what a Mom!

  7818. First video I’m seeing on this channel. What is this? 😐😐😐😐😐good video . Essentially, be yourself at your pace 📚📖🚀 From NYC, love to all. Bless.

  7819. anyone else know absolutletly nothing about music but just go on the occasional rick beato binge.

  7820. Rick I'm not only Blown Away by your knowledge of the fretboard but by what an amazing ear you have. knowing exactly what somebody playing at the speed of light, note-for-note what they're playing. You my friend are multi gifted.

  7821. You two have so much chemistry, great interview.

  7825. “Homeric”!!!

  7832. Rick this is word for word what I just posted to Facebook after watching your episode on Seal. "This is how to spend your time, breaking down the best songs with Rick Beato. there's a newfound appreciation I've found in this song, it was already bloody fantastic but this guy does it justice. "Ideas come and go but sounds last forever" Bono".

  7833. Congratulations Rick for 3Million Subscribers finally 👍 It makes my Guitar playing alive by watching your video's:) Keep coming up with Amazing ideas just like you do all the time Man✌👍 Thank you🤝

  7835. This is YouTube at its best.

  7836. Hey Rick! Thank you so much for putting up this appreciation piece. I've always thought that musicians of any genre should be able to - and indeed should - a) listen to & admire music from every other genre, no matter how wide the span between the genres (eg death metal and baroque chamber music!), and b) learn substantively from those other genres. Regarding Argerich in particular, I was fortunate enough to see her perform at Proms a few years ago, under the baton of Barenboim - what a dream team!!! The Grieg piano concerto 1 was a tour de force, as you can imagine! You'll always be super-welcome if you ever want to fulfil your ambition of seeing her play: I'd be honoured to be your London fixer (and mate!) if you ever wanted to catch her performing here :)

  7837. Spotify is quickly becoming marketing 101... iTunes feels more of a personal choice.

  7838. i subscribed after you told me to rick, thought you should know! I've been watching for close to a year but never hit the button lol
    1
  7839. Rick is such a great interviewer. He has technical questions, questions about the creative process, about lyrics and relationships and does his best to find the guest's comfort zone. David Gilmour is such a legendary musician, and Rick Beato brought us on a beautiful journey with him. Thank you Rick!
    1
  7840. Every interview Rick does, exceeds the one before it! What a great one with the classy & masterful Tony, who I’ve had the pleasure of meeting on a few special occasions.

  7841. Thanks Rick, great interview!
    1
  7842. Bless you, Rick for exposing great players like Jimmy Cobb, Wes, Miles, Paul Chambers etc... to all these younger students on YouTube. This is just a great outlet for young musicians to learn ...and you make it easy and fun... I certainly send my students to your channel!Thanks man.

  7843. Love how you praise these songs but your "What makes this song great" series never covers anything thats made within the 20 yrs.
    1
  7844. How did you get the tracks? Rockband?
    1
  7845. years from now Beato is gonna be remembered as the one who broke it all down for us and showed us how all it was all so good. We knew it was great but Beato showed us WHY!!!
    1
  7846. Thank you for this Rick. Like you, I am rarely star-struck. However, the two celebrity passings that had the most profound impact on me were John Lennon (like you, my memories of that day and the following weeks are still painfully vivid). Second, as a saxophonist, losing my idol, Mike Brecker was deeply grievous. (By the way, if you ever want to feel humble as a saxophonist, choose a virtuoso like Brecker as your standard.) Lennon’s death was painful because it was senseless (especially since he was once again making great music) and Brecker’s death was tragic because, like so many great saxophone virtuoso’s he had so much more to give. He was a humble soul and a truly beautiful spirit. Like you, I find solace (even to this day) in listening to Brecker’s work. For me listening to “Sea Glass” on his eponymous first solo album captures the profound loss of his genius. “Original Rays,” “ Itsbynne Reel” and his interpretation of “My One and Only Love” are shining testimonies to his genius, while his solo on Paul Simon’s “Still Crazy” shows that Brecker understood musical context and didn’t always have to hit you over the head with his technical proficiency to make a profound musical statement. I am thankful for people like you who share their Brecker encounters because they give us a glimpse into his gentle humanity and keep his memory alive. I am a sax guy, but I love your videos for the way you break down the music theory of great songs with enthusiasm and for the way you bring the humanity out of these complex pieces of art. May we all be so fortunate to leave behind such a legacy. All the best!

  7847. I was at Eastman a few years after this piece was performed. Keith came back to town to play with the Rochester Philharmonic (Bartok, I think), but he gave what was basically a 90 minute lecture, punctuated with questions, to us students earlier that day. I remember a few pointed exchanges about synthesizers between him and some of the students, but what really stuck with me was how deeply he thought about and cared about music. "Put on a piece of music you really love, that you know is true, and then go listen to something else, and you'll realize how much music doesn't match up to what you know is great." Obviously that's from memory, I'm certainly getting the exact quote wrong, but that was the gist. That always stuck with me. I went on to a career as a music educator, and that advice always guided me when choosing or writing pieces for my students: even when they are very young and just starting, they can play music with integrity. Thank you for all the music, Keith, and thank you Rick for this really great interview.
    1
  7848. Ah, Rick. Same story with my grandma back in June. Beautiful piano player, struggles with arthritis stopped her from being able to play like she wanted to later on in her life. She was always playing and getting us all to sing, definitely a huge influence on me. Where she differed from Aunt Penny is the "filling in", because I never heard her improvise a single time in my entire life, she stuck to the sheets like they were gospel, lol. I never understood it, but she seemed to enjoy it so much that I had no place telling her how to play. She used to take me to watch a lot of classical music with her and her friends, me and a gaggle of old ladies, those were some good times. She also went in for a procedure and passed away unexpectedly. I miss her terribly, I'm sorry for your loss. Thank you for the video, it brought back a lot of sweet memories.

  7849. And that is why I subscribe to Rick’s Channel!

  7850. Amazing interview, my respect for sting just increased. You’re a special dude, rick! I’ll send money, you should be paid for this outstanding channel and expertise

  7851. Just a few I would add.... Guns n Roses- Sweet Child Holy Wars- Megadeth Enter Sandman- Metallica Back In Black- AC/DC Kashmir- Led Zeppelin Walk this Way- Aerosmith Tom Sawyer- Rush Deuce- Kiss Kickstart My Heart- Motley Crue Every Breath You Take- The Police Carry On My Wayward Son- Kansas Rock You Like a Hurricane- Scorpions Sweet Home Alabama- Lynyrd Skynyrd Layla- Derek and the Dominos Aint Talking Bout Love- Van Halen All Right Now- Free Smoke on the Water- Deep Purple Iron Man- Black Sabbath Hot Blooded- Foreigner The Trooper- Iron Maiden La Grange- ZZ Top Breaking the Law- Judas Priest Heaven and Hell- Black Sabbath

  7853. I can't describe what I just saw, but it was incredible.
    1
  7854. I find it hard to believe that you've only played the guitar in 3 videos in the last year. I guess I just didn't notice. I started watching your channel when you had about half-a-million subscribers, so it's been awhile, I guess.
    1
  7855. Rick, in 200 years your Youtube channel will still be known and considered historically important. In an era of weak, inorganic, heavily produced music, you remind us all how sublime and important the real thing is, and you show us examples like Martha that remind us how phenomenal humans can be. Your Joni Mitchell vid and this one...just great! Inspiration, Joy, and hope in a time when most media is overwhelmingly negative. Just......Thanks! Please keep going. And ps....so great to see how the artist community is going to bat for you. pps..Can't wait to hear you on The Portal!
    1
  7856. He can't... Then it would be blocked.

  7857. Things like this video is why ppl love you. You are an amazing person. Much love and respect to you and for Mr. Diamond. May be rest in peace.

  7858. Great video again Rick! I was lucky enough to re-record this song with Max Martin for the &Juliet musical album. It was an amazing experience working with him and getting his insight into all his hits - especially this one! We tried to recreate the tone of that intro riff using a Jazzmaster as that’s what it was used in the original. Picking towards the bridge to get that twangy tone. I remember him saying the intro riff was so simple because that’s all he could play on guitar at the time! Keep up the good work!
    1
  7859. Great video Rick. Would be cool to have Mark Holcomb on and go through his approach to riffs. Maybe a 'What makes this song great' Scarlett or Reptile.
    1
  7860. I'll say it like I do every time she makes an appearance but what a beautiful Les Paul. I'm slowly saving to reach my goal of owning a Gibson and always thought I'd get a burst. But Rick's LP is a siren. If they make Pelham ones with a 60's neck (hand/thumb/wrist mangled in Afghanistan makes a 50s necks extremely hard for me to play) I think I've got to go that route. With the cream appointments of course not black. Congrats on 100 Rick!
    1
  7861. The interview I didn't know I wanted to hear.
    1
  7862. Hrm, I just think you sound like you.
    1
  7863. There are only 2 channels I literally hang out to see and the top of my list is Rick Beato. Joni's album - Blue is a favourite. Sometimes people mention a certain record during a specific period in life that have an existential quality, Blue was one, for me. Her songs have relatable experiences - songs of the human heart. Her music and melody are wonderful. Joni is a unique & special artist.
    1
  7864. Come for the interesting conversations about music theory (that I know absolutely nothing about). Stay for the heartfelt videos about life lessons learned.
    1
  7865. I just love it hove Rick gets all those giants to not even think about beeing on camera. They all sit there like they are having a beer with an old friend!
    1
  7866. Rick, great video! For me this video is in the RB top five. Thank you

  7867. The only thing better than watching Oscar playing is watching Rick watching Oscar playing.
    1
  7868. Just want to say because it was so awesome and even before getting to the end of the video I donated to the Beato Channel. I hope this interview reaches a lot of folks to give an idea of how crazy that time was. I heard Nevermind for the very first time on some insanely large monitors in studio 5 of Cherokee Studios LA when it first came out. Never heard anything like it before or after. Was listening a lot to Bowies Man who sold the world album at that time(driving around Hollywood with Genes bass guitar in the back of the studio van!)and then Nirvana did that unplugged rendition of it for MTV and it was masterful. Kurts droney imperfect solo could have played forever I loved it and still do.
    1
  7869. Now I've made it halfway through the video, and I'm definitely heading to their site to get some music.
    1
  7870. Yes there was, great memory!
    1
  7871. Rick, I just want to say this: I love ur channel, but I often after watching a video think about what you've said or play a guitar, etc. The thing is, I forget to leave a like. If you ever feel like not to many likes came, it's because the whole "like" thing is shitty(obviously) here on YT. Noone leaves likes. Thanks for all the content! Been here since 200k
    1
  7872. You could clip the part of video (from putting on the guitar strap to the end), and title it “man tries electric guitar for the first time”, and those who don’t know Rick wouldn’t be wiser 😂
    1
  7873. Basically all off my favourite albums. Rick has metal in the blood.

  7874. Episode #01: What makes this channel great? Rick's a humble, sincere guy who's a terrific story teller. Super talented musician/producer. 11/10

  7879. Rick glad you recovering, I’m a cardiologist musician friend of Aydın, Cleveland Clinic is one of the best for Cardiovascular Medical practice and brilliant research center too. Symptoms usually tells us the time for surgery, so it is in our guidelines. Take care and keep inspiring us. ❤👍👍

  7881. Your interviews are part of music history Rick. Thank you for that. Any chance to get Jeff Lynne?

  7882. Congratulations Rick... That was wonderful....👍

  7885. 2020 has been a bummer but at least we have Beato

  7886. This interview is a master class.

  7887. Hey Rick, I just want to thank you for Beato book! I bought it last week, I keep reading it and it’s an awesome book for music theory understanding, clear, simple and powerful! Makes my mind creative! I also bought it to support you an this wonderful channel somehow, hope helps!

  7888. As with all of Rick's interviews, I wish this conversation had gone on for many more hours. It fascinating stuff.
    1
  7889. I watch the Rick Beato channel so often these days that I inadvertently pronounced "the Beatles" as "the Bee-Attles" the other day.
    1
  7890. Thank goodness for your Dad, Rick. For without him, I may never have even heard of these guys and their remarkably inspiring playing.
    1
  7891. Hey Rick! This is astonishing... It was early 90s. I am studying Jazz guitar in Arnhem, NL.... And I hear Allan Holdsworth (RIP) for the first time. As I heared that lick for the first time... Well, I just flew away and couldnt figure out how to play that sh*t. And now it is 30 years later and you have the solution!! Thanks man. Subbed!
    1
  7892. Wow... ...and I was just thinking how much I like you as a person and fellow musician Rick. And now I meet your Aunt Penny. You can certainly put her down on your (why I’m the person I am) list. To have had MS for 50 years and still be so positive and full of life. You are lucky to have had such a positive influence in your life, aside from (I would assume) your mother/father/siblings. You obviously come from good stock. I just turned 64 today, the 24th of December and I’ve been a musician for over 50 of those years. I don’t think that anything or anyone has ever made me feel better about that than you and your videos. I doubt most people will understand what I mean. But I think there’s a good chance that you will. I am very sorry for you and your family’s loss. I look forward to more of your stories and musical offerings. Regards, M.S.

  7894. It helps to have fingers the size of bananas.

  7895. Gold here. Beatos videos with those studiopros is so great.

  7896. You just started a Renaissance revival. Sweetwater now has a special. Buy a viola da gamba- and they throw in the leotards for free.

  7897. ok rick, been watching for a year or 2 now this video was so freakn awesome im buying the beato book right now. please keep em coming. cheers mate

  7898. I thought..."33.5 minute video?..I don't have much time but I'll watch a little of the interview at least"..haha. Well, of course I watched the whole thing and wanted more..Gregg is such a enthusiastic, great guy!
    1
  7899. I've been following this channel since the video you did with Adam Neely years ago. You had something like 500k subscribers back then. I don't expect anyone to care lol, just commenting to help the video
    1
  7900. Danke!
    1
  7901. Rick, Thanks so much for sharing that. I really enjoyed it. Sorry for your loss. It's the inevitable end we all must face. Fortunately we can experience relationships like this during our lives. I discovered you on Youtube by accident and have been following you for a while. I'm blown away by your musical knowledge and ability. I really love your "What makes this Song Great" videos. I'm pretty sure I saw you a couple years ago at the Namm show in Anaheim We were both taking a lunch break in the Arena, it looked like you had your kids with you. I was trying to work up the courage to come over and introduce myself when they started demoing sound systems and it got really loud. I turned around and you were gone. I really regret that moment. Hopefully when the world gets back to normal we will have the chance to meet. Thanks for all you share.

  7902. This video will be watched for the next 100 years.
    1
  7903. I would like this video a hundred times if I could. :virtualhug::virtualhug::virtualhug:One of the great things about YouTube is that students of the future would be able to listen to Rick Beato in his own words and get inspired by him directly (instead of just listening to our own teachers telling us how inspired they were by their own teachers from their past). I consider myself blessed for having watched to this great video today and, from now on, I will share these words of wisdom with all my students. :washhands::washhands::washhands:
    1
  7904. As a journalist, I am constantly impressed at Rick's interviewer's ability. Amazing one. And great great work on lights and production.
    1
  7905. Terrific job Rick. This was unexpected, but insightful and moving. Just one more reason why I subscribe to this channel.
    1
  7906. If you ever ask yourself Rick, how in the world did I manage over 4 million subscribers. Well THIS video is why. You're human, don't stop being human. Cheers mate, have a good weekend!

  7907. I did this kind of search about a year ago for Jazz musicians. I redid it just now. I was really surprised by these results. Here are monthly viewer counts for a few Jazz musicians on Spotify Louis Armstrong 6.9 million Ella Fitzgerald 4.4 million Billie Holiday 2.9 million Miles Davis 2.0 million John Coltrane 2.0 million Duke Ellington 1.6 million Keith Jarrett 824 K Thelonious Monk 688 K Chick Corea 590 K Pat Metheny 554 K Charles Mingus 511 K Joe Pass 366 K Wayne Shorter 315 K Weather Report 243 K Jaco Pastorius 224 K Ron Carter 165 K Joe Zawinul 17 K

  7909. Rick is the greatest YouTube follow of all time. Seriously this is a must have for music lovers

  7910. Rick I love your work, you are an inspiration to all and your passion is amazing. Cheers Dave from Australia

  7911. greatest thing ever happened on YouTube

  7912. The memories!
    1
  7913. Man, knowing your channel for some time, I don’t think you even showed half of the awesome folks you have had join you. And beyond celebrity, what drives your channel is your passion and love for music I think, Rick. It comes through every time, and that is not possible to fake or replicate. Keep up the great work! 🤘🏻📸
    1
  7914. It’s great to see how excited you get about great music and performances. How about more classical tunes for me, an old orchestral trombonist who still loves to play! Take care!
    1
  7915. This is the most perfect music nerd video.
    1
  7916. This is the best YouTube channel, period.
    1
  7917. There are probably several ways to relate to these numbers and they should be examined in more detail. But interest in music in general can be measured in several ways. As an associate professor of musicology at a major university, the interest in understanding and learning more about the phenomenon that surrounds us in everyday life has steadily declined. From the 90s when I was a student until now, the trend shows that interest in art, literature, film and music has decreased. Other interests compete.
    1
  7918. I would say that Rick is really the level of '60 minutes' to us musicians. There is no one even close to his knowledge and relaxed style to get these great artists to open up and speak with them on their level. He asks the questions all of us musicians want to ask.... Musicians should be seeking him out to be interviewed. I'm watching full interviews of folks I've never heard of before, and I can't say I'd do that for many other YouTube videos.... I will now look into Derek's music more thoroughly.... these interviews increase exposure for artists, and sell more music for them... It's that simple.
    1
  7919. Glad you're doing well, Rick! Cleveland Clinic 29 years in a row voted best cardiology in the nation. Like you said, Dr. Gillinov is probably the best in the world.
    1
  7920. Rick: you avoid one of the cardinal sins so often exhibited by today's interviewers: the endless question. The interviewer is trying to demonstrate to the interviewee--and the audience--that he or she knows a whole lot about the subject. This leaves the interviewee very little room to answer. Congratulations on conducting this question-and-answer in just the right way, letting Purdie take charge of what he wants to show you. It's brilliant.
    1
  7921. Les is a killer musician....to learn some of those keyboard solos in a couple of days is eipc.
    1
  7922. I think our digital age has hijacked us. music is about emotion. games are about solving problems; video game do so with adrenaline. It's a different part of the brain. music cultivates emotions. this requires some work and patience--sitting still with the music. games--primarily video--require work to solve the problems. but it's not about empathy. It'a about locking into the algorithm, perhaps connecting to a digital device, not a human even though they were engineered by one. Different targets. Just a thought.
    1
  7923. Beautiful

  7924. I am a new subscriber and I loved this video. Ramble On is probably my favorite Zepplin song and it was really cool to see how you recreated the autistic guitar sound. I have been enjoying going through you older videos as well.
    1
  7925. You look so happy and like your having so much fun in this vid. Your face as the intros start and you’re waiting to kick in should remind us all of just why we play. Gonna go and try some of these myself. Thanks Rick!
    1
  7926. Rick, I happen to live on a road named "Smart Road." Roads and streets are often named in honor of notable people. I don't know who my Smart Rd was named for, but after this video, I'll be imagining that I live on the road named after Peter Smart.
    1
  7927. Every nuance on the masterpieces this legend produced are coming into focus for me, thanks to the great Rick Beato! Daniel’s left an indelible mark on every piece of music he’s touched, and is a big part of why each album is so unique and important! Such an amazing artist and musician, he’s guided and shaped (and created) many of the benchmark albums of the 20th Century. Thanks Rick! You’ll go down as the best interviewer of musicians and music producers in history, as you are both yourself, and are as good at listening as speaking and know exactly which questions to ask and how.
    1
  7928. By the way, I have a garden channel. Outdoor shooting. Without fail (a) somebody cranks up a two-cycle followed by (b) either city sirens or a big truck decides to take a short cut through the neighborhood. Honestly, every single time. It makes filming 20 minutes of footage a two hour ordeal. But it does develop your skillset in patience. :)
    1
  7929. Where the hell was I and what the f*** was I doing that I missed this interview FOR THREE MONTHS!!?? I saw the Sting interview before this one-
    1
  7930. Yeah I agree. But tonight I’m taking my son (13) to see Kathleen Edwards and Jason Isabell. We know nothing about these two artists, but! We are going because we need to. We need to get away from the screen, roll the dice try something new. Support live music.
    1
  7931. I’ve never seen anyone tuning the guitar that quick. Even with the tuner, it would take me a lot more time. Great video!
    1
  7932. Way interesting, thx fellas
    1
  7933.  @RickBeato  I’d listen to your band even if you were 666 Rick. My comment was in reference to how I respond when my viewers ask why I’m not in a band. The world has moved on for the reasons you stated 🤷‍♂️
    1
  7934. Love this new genre of YouTube Staying you've started. All power to your algorithm.

  7935. Me shouting, not Rick shouting :)

  7936. I just have to say Rick that you are so fantastically animated with these solos you make them all worth knowing!
    1
  7937. What a tour-de-force. Rick, you are probably the most important music journalist at the moment. Keep it going!
    1
  7938. Tommy is right you know, your not just a pretty face. Your an inspiration to all of us. Love your videos Rick.
    1
  7939. I’m in bed and have just finished to watch the video, thank you so much Rick. That was moving, for the music itself and for what it means to me.
    1
  7940. Love Rick and his videos so much that I watched this whole thing even though I hated the song. I tried to understand why he likes it. I really tried.
    1
  7941. Wow, on this video alone, I just purchased Cross's debut. Never realized he did the solo on that song.

  7942. This video is killing it. The best thing on the internet. I couldn't stop watching it.

  7943. This is legitimately my favorite YouTube video ever!

  7944. I subscribed because if your great solo! Amazing!!
    1
  7945. Good to see Dave put your Strat back together again!
    1
  7946. Great interview! Would absolutely LOVE an interview in this format with John Frusciante. Most interviewers fail to go to those intricate details and depths of a persons career and this is where Rick excells. Especially with those guys where they're not too keen on having an interview in the first place (case in point: the Billy Corgan interview!) Rick always seems to find that middleground and the shared passion for making music/playing. Flawless interviewer!

  7947. Great lessons and very relatable. I have been drumming since I was 9 (1971) and was always was the best player in my surroundings. However, when I auditioned at Indiana University I woke up that morning with a 102+ fever, no voice and my ears completely clogged. (I was perfectly healthy the day before). My dad drove me the audition and the player who was one slot ahead of me was talking to someone else and said, "I took the last six month to do nothing by study for this audition." I was like.."I am not doing THAT!" Not because I was lazy or not motivated but because I played so many styles of music. I was a rock drummer and had already been in a tremendous jazz band and combo in high school. I played with guitar great Fareed Haque in High School and our instructor Mr. Escott was a classically trained bassist who was one of Glen Miller's original bass players. I had also attended Interlochen National Music Camp the year before (1980) and played classical percussion only with players who are now in some of the worlds greatest classical organizations. But I didn't want to play classical for a living. I wanted to play drum set..but had to go through this audition process at Indiana U. Well..it was horrible. I couldn't hear. My balance was off. We tried some ear training but I couldn't match a pitch to save my life because my throat and ears were a mess. So..a couple weeks later..I got my first and only rejection letter I have ever received regarding music. So I needed a college fast and decided to audition to a small liberal arts college in central Illinois that had one of the greatest jazz programs in the nation and had been so for a long time. So I fired up a quick tape..recorded in Fareed Haque's basement..and got into the school of music. BUT...I still had to audition fo the jazz band. This band was intense..on levels that compared to the movie "Whiplash"..that is a WHOLE other story for another day...but bottom line, freshman very, VERY rarely ever made that band and the odds were even less for drummers as once he had his player..they played until the graduated and there was still a Senior there on drums. Most people thought I was wasting my time and almost talked me out of even trying. But I did...I made the band...played four years in the most remarkable big band program I have ever heard. I became the band manager my sophomore year. We toured three out the four years I was there. Twice to the Bahamas and once to Aruba...no cost to the students. We recorded four albums in four years and I got the greatest musical lesson I could have ever got. And it wouldn't have happened if I hadn't got sick...blew my audition at Indiana University and decided to give Millikin University in Decatur, Illinois a shot. (if you don't think the powers of the universe didn't have a hand in me getting sick out of nowhere...you don't have any faith in a higher power). Sorry this was long...but Rick..I so much appreciate your story..your talent and your sharing of your experiences and mostly for the love of music we both share. All the best, Peter

  7948. This was beautiful! 🔥

  7949. Wondering if there’s a connection between the “outdated” purchasing of music, and the arguably outdated type of music being purchased (guitar/real instruments)?
    1
  7950. Another incredible video! I love that this story has so much about you and your dad. The first thing I did when I found your channel was send a link to my own son who had just started playing guitar. Two years on and hes better than I ever was and trying to play every instrument he can get his hands on. I keep feeding him my influences kind of like your dad did for you.
    1
  7951. Really nice stuff. Guitar’s not too Gratuitous. I think if you rewrote that one song “what makes...” you’d have a theme song for WMTSG 😊 have a good day Rick!

  7952. I was a kind of Beato fan before this video, watching this video and I’m not even done watching yet, I’m an all in Beato fan

  7953. Now you mention it Rick, those taller acoustic guitars are bugging me too 😅

  7954. Rick...I am Michael Cammarata, keyboardist and music educator from Connecticut. I long ago owed you a thank you for your posts which I enjoy and look forward too. This one really touched me buddy. My family and yours being so similar, you and yours remind me of my own. I sincerely enjoyed meeting your Aunt and God Bless you.
    1
  7955. Look as these fools in the comment section complaining about what so called metal when Rick is just having fun

  7956. The only thing missing on "Eddie's" solo was an electric drill!!! Great video and a great send off to the most amazing guitarist ever!!! RIP Eddie :(
    1
  7957. Wonderful to enjoy Rick, an absolutely brilliant, compulsive, and enthusiastic analyst of popular and rock music, turning his focus to classical, and show he's just as right-on and fascinating, exploring that field too! He gets that it's all music! And what we enjoy today is built upon all that went before. Hat's off to this incredibly broad, inspiring, and always engaging, musician!

  7958. I had no idea what your talking about, yet I am always drawn to highly skilled people speaking on their passions.

  7959. Shorter Rick Beato: Joni Mitchell is indescribably talented, the f’ing bomb and an American treasure. Love everything she ever did. Thanks, Rick for this wonderful introspective.
    1
  7960. Nice touch with the song playing mostly on the Left and your guitar playing mostly on the Right. With a good set of cans it feels like I'm in the studio facing you. Pardon my focus on the stereo field, I'm currently trying to match a mix's pots & pans to the mastered version for a final project in one of my classes.
    1
  7961. Dam you rick! I am like...it is 1:15 AM I need to go to bed. Well let me see the intro to this Rick video about rediscovering rock. It wont hook me. 1:58AM grrrrr

  7962. Rick, you are such a thoughtful and beautiful interviewer, and Tori, eccentric, beautiful and exquisite in nature and music and everything.
    1
  7963. Best Youtube post ever on so many levels..Artistically, philosophically also technically. We are humbled, moved and inspired.., thank you.
    1
  7964. The finest video on YouTube. You have outdone yourself. Brian May? Are you kidding me? I hope this gets the tens of millions of views it deserves and artists line up to do similar collaborations with you.
    1
  7965. You did great in Seattle!
    1
  7966. Really loved your using my old friend EJ (Eric Johnson) on the track. I've known EJ for 40 something or more years. And he is 1 of the top guitar jocks in the world. Keep up the good work, educating us on what the groups do on their records.
    1
  7967. my comment on rick's videos is always the same... and always the truth : this is top quality content. Pure gold for us amateur musicians
    1
  7968. This channel is great, because Rick sounds like Rick. Not like every other Youtube shred guy.
    1
  7969. I think he mentions Mahler twice. Talk about a guy who was either "last of the old guys or first of the new"! I'm not a musician but I am a photographer and learned a lot about the creative process, and art and excellence from watching this video! I've watched it twice.
    1
  7970. All my homies subscribe to Rick Beato
    1
  7971. I have watched this video twice and it has not taught me anything new. Nothing at all. This gives me an overpowering sense of competence. Usually watching Rick's videos involves stopping, rewinding, taking notes, and several viewings, but not this one for me. Until the next video from Rick, I am The Man. I'll enjoy this delusion of adequacy while it lasts.
    1
  7972. I just found out that rick and my dad share age, but my dad isnt as cool as rick is ahahaha. Love from italy rick keep it up
    1
  7973. This is as close to understanding jazz as I have ever come. Thank you so much and keep it coming!
    1
  7974. I am trying to binge watch all of Rick’s interviews. 90% of interviewers should study Rick’s style. He asks interesting, intelligent questions and then lets the person COMPLETELY answer before he asks a follow up. He doesn’t interrupt or make wise cracks or jokes. It’s such a pleasure. Always bummed when the interviews end. Great Job Rick! BTW, I am pretty sure I saw you at the Tedeschi/Trucks concert at the Fox two weeks ago. My wife and I went both Friday and Saturday night. I love how TT does two completely separate concerts on back to back nights. Friday was on the mellower side. Saturday was a barn burner of a show! Both AWESOME!!!
    1
  7975. Not one edit?? Well done! You must have been a wonderful professor.
    1
  7976. Seriously cannot say enough good things about Rick and what he's doing with this channel! Analysis and enthusiasm that keeps me excited about what pops up here next. This content is an aspiring musician/producer's treasure trove!
    1
  7977. I love this. It's not predictable, it has some lovely creamy modulations. I'd love to hear this out in the world. This guy has a great voice and feel. More please.
    1
  7978. Great picks! Before I even watched the video, I thought about Ten Years Gone and Synchronicity 2, and I think Money For Nothing was a great pick for #1 - though I'm biased, Knopfler is my favorite player ever. Glad to always see love on lists like these for more progressive bands like Tool and Rush, too. Great stuff as always, Rick - these lists always start great conversations among my friends and me.
    1
  7979. Fantastic chat ! Joe is a world class act & Rick is probably the best interviewer there is right now ! Everybody likes Rick & admires his wisdom ! ... Steve Morse would be a great feature on your show , Rick ! ... How about it ? ...
    1
  7980. This and other interviews are library of congress worthy. Imagine if Rick could have interviewed Duane Allman, Hendrix, Lennon etc too.
    1
  7981. nobody will ever say wats wrong with you rick mate

  7982. How cool, I can tell Rick is genuinely interested in jiu jitsu. I'm a black belt, I'll roll with you Rick. Exchange lessons!

  7983. This is the most important video of the last year. Thanks for sharing Rick!
    1
  7984. Im not sure how many of your veiwers listen to Messuguah and all that stuff. But the fact that you said it was brutal. AND the you played those perfectly. You just gained so much respect from the metal community. <3 You are something else Rick. I hope i am as awesome as you one day!
    1
  7985. This is one of the best videos on YouTube period.

  7986. holy molly i didn't know you knew aydın esen, rick. i'm a turkish musician and stoked to hear this. it all makes sense now. wow.

  7987. is that a cube 60 rick? and are you playing through it? a really cool amp. mine is still rocking since 1981.
    1
  7988. Yes, very well miked with a lavalier under his shirt. Then some nice delay /reverb added to his vocal for the last song...
    1
  7989. Rick listening to that opening section of "Light My Fire" with Robbie and John right there in the room is the most powerful 2 min of any rock interview I've ever seen. Wow! Absolutely Epic ! Mind Blown1
    1
  7990. I love your videos. You are very well spoken and your topics are so well presented. thank you!
    1
  7991. As somebody who got rejected 3 times from different conservatories and it’s now an A student at another SUNY school studying music and has learning disabilities, the story feels familiar and it touched me deeply. As always, wise words. Thank you Rick! 🙏
    1
  7992. So moving Rick. I'm one of those guys who can only manage a small handful of friends. Among those few, I have lost 3. It's devastating, yet I am all the richer for having had them as friends.
    1
  7993. This has to be one of the very best pieces of music related content ever uploaded on YouTube. Period.
    1
  7994. Rick I think we are witnessing a moment, a historical event. Your reach can shift the landscape and redefine how real music is brought into life so it is not left to fester in digital or magnetic dust. Please do more of these info critical videos. And let real music live again.
    1
  7995. You've got this right Rick. And youre continuing to go the right way too... To me you're one of the Internet / YouTube greats and I dont say that lightly. Thankyou so much for your time and your content.
    1
  7996. Why YOU are buying pedals is the best most unanswerable question of the video!!! ;-) xo
    1
  7997. That is the yachtest rock that ever rocked a yacht.
    1
  7998. I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU DID A VIDEO ON HER!!! She is the most amazing musician most people have never heard of. Even more, I can't believe you highlighted her Scarlatti encore piece. The intensity, the focus, the touch, the energy, the otherworldly musicality....Martha is the real deal and she rules my Spotify piano playlist. I'm so glad that you highlighted her. Why? Because more people will now get a first class serving of music of the highest order that they would probably never experience otherwise. What a great gift you just gave!
    1
  7999. OK that was insane I've downloaded some Allan holdsworth music recently but have had a block on it because I'm frankly intimidated... having said that if you cover even a shred of that kind of harmony in your beato book you might have just sold me on it and I gotta learn that lick too... WOW

  8000. The best, most respectful and just downright interesting interview I've ever seen with just about anyone. Mr Beato, you are the best.

  8001. Great storyteller and fabulous motivating message. Thank you for the insight and for opening your heart and life so that others may be inspired. Love you Rick. Best regards from Portugal, Madeira Island.

  8002. Beato's show is better than anything thats ever been on tv. These in depth interviews are amazing to watch.

  8003. Two cool dudes that play kick ass! Been watching Tom’s channel since the start. Definitely recommend watching it. Very cool Tom is doing it as a journal for his kids. What an amazing father! He’s got such a cool soul!

  8004. Satch is such a mensch! Great, great fun, Rick! Thank you!

  8005. Rick for fuck's sake stop making such good content. I need to do my homework sometimes. Living legend, thank you for being here man, you change my life

  8006. If I had a dad like Rick's, I too would have awesome hair in my 50s

  8007. We've had some great guests on our show but MAN, Rick or Jericho are both dream guests. Loving the chat so far as expected.

  8008. Absolutely unironically love these videos
    1
  8009. Rick, you couldn't have had your heart surgery at a better place than the Cleveland Clinic (disclosure: I trained there as a head and neck surgeon). So glad you're looking hale and hearty. Love your videos and trenchant analyses.--amateur musician

  8010.  @RickBeato  I would actually put Come As You Are above this. Love your work Rick. I figured you'd eventually post a WMTSG that I didn't agree with.

  8012.  @RickBeato  haha, fair enough. I know you are definitely capable of figuiring it out by ear. Was just curious about the tuning and guitar situation. my appoligies if I sounded like a hater.
    1
  8013. I would have bought one, guess it’s sold out already. Great cause. Still making a donation

  8014. Rick.... Thank you so much for showcasing songs that might surprise people... I LOVE learning the techinical underpinnings for so many of the songs you feature on WMTSG... And, I'm evolving because of it... Have another thank you! Sometimes simple, beautiful, and heartful is worth taking a good deep dive! This is def an episode that had me pushing back tears... You friggin rock dude!
    1
  8015. Congratulations Rick! From the recording studio to your time in the deli, your life experience gave you a unique perspective. It made you the best qualified interviewer for all things music. I believe David enjoyed the time with you.

  8016. Love this special untitled edition of what makes this song great! Keep up the great work Rick.
    1
  8017. Rick you should re-name the video to the fastest way I play the modes. Not much in the way of helping me learn or memorize them.
    1
  8018. I dont even play but love these videos! 🙂
    1
  8019. Lol. Nice pbs talk show edit. Nice. Good times. Yeah.
    1
  8020. When you first started this “what makes this song great” series, I thought it would be all about the lyrical content. My first thought was “he only explains the musicology of it.. that’s not what makes a song a song? Is it?”. I thought you were like a literature teacher who would put all the emphasis on vocabulary, glossing over the substance. I’ve always wanted to love those Joni Mitchell “jazz” albums because some of the songs, like coyote, are wonderful. I just hear mud. To me, her musical peak was in her early days, when she was less calculating and had a mesmerising folk talent. Great artist, great career, great video. Thank you Rick
    1
  8021. It's great that the younger generation get to hear something without autotune with real musicians
    1
  8022. Very important. I think this is the first extended interview I’ve known of this seminal stylist/improvisor. His intellectual grasp of his musical approaches is stunning…kicks MY azz (🤨)🙏🏾
    1
  8023. Rochester loves you man!
    1
  8024. So beautiful, my man. Loved this video.
    1
  8025. Rick should have worn Jimmy’s Dragon Suit for this :)
    1
  8026. That was the most fun I had in an hour in ages. So much truth. I'm an old soundman and I could not help scream EXACTLY!!! A dozen times or more.
    1
  8027. Thanks Rick. Your a regular part of my life. I can't afford patrion but watch all your vids. God bless. My life is much richer for your input
    1
  8028. Rick, in my opinion, this is the most important video on your channel. Musicians, pay attention! If you want to know the difference between music and great music, it's this.
    1
  8029. I feel guilty watching Rick. Why am I not paying thousands of dollars for a higher-quality music education than I would get in many university programs?
    1
  8030. Yes, do the interview.
    1
  8031. "there are people who play rings around me" really? name one
    1
  8032. It's on YouTube Music as well
    1
  8033. Rick, you don't even need 10.99 a month if you don't mind listening to ads.
    1
  8034. Somehow i didn't get a notification for this vid... And this is most exciting interview that a have ever seen
    1
  8035. Also, I would watch the heck out of a honorable mention follow up video
    1
  8036. It's funny, I just saw Rick's little blurb about how 70% of people that watch the videos aren't subscribed and that subscribing helps him get more of the guests he'd like to have on. I've been watching Rick's videos for several years now, and I always love them, and they always pop up in my feed, and I just kind of assumed that I had been subscribed already, and then I notice the subscribe button flashing and I just now realized I wasn't actually a subscriber. Well, that's been rectified! Glad to be a subscriber to the channel I'd just always assumed I was. Rick, your content is some of the best stuff on the go because you are so interested, so informed, and so knowledgable about so many facets of music, the music industry, and really are a great educator and ambassador of music!
    1
  8037. I watched this interview a few days ago and forgot to leave a comment. I waited for you Rick to get Pat Metheny in front of you for a few years. I knew it was just a matter of time. What an amazing moment, especially for guitar players. Last time I saw Pat Metheny was at the Opera House in Sydney, a few years ago with Chris Potter. I will cherish this interview as immortal as that gig in Sydney. thank you.
    1
  8038. Rick, if you're ever in UK, I'm an audiologist with great experience at treating tinnitus. You're so awesome, there'd be no charge!
    1
  8039. I know these take a lot of time to make but man...I wish we had one of these every week. I show these to my middle school students and they have a real appreciation for what you do. Can you do Bargain by The Who someday 👍
    1
  8040. I very rarely post comments on youtube videos, but on this one I felt that something had to be said. Depression is a very ugly beast, as it eats people from inside, while the rest of the world can only see the shiny armor. For friends and families the pain of the loss is amplified by the sense of guilt for not being able to understand, or to help, or maybe for saying the wrong word in the wrong moment... So sad... My prayers go to Johhny's soul, and to all those sensitive souls who could not face the harshness of every day, real or just perceived. Those souls are not lost, they stay with us to help us make our lives better. Thank you for this touching video Rick. You're a great human being.
    1
  8041. All the thumbs downs are strangely from LA laundromats. Thanks for the first hand account of what went on back then and your efforts weekly to promote the new music industry.
    1
  8042. This is one of the coolest things I’ve seen on YouTube in a long time. Thanks Rick.

  8043. "Nostalgic bias"
    1
  8044. A force of nature, she’s beyond categorization in her transcendent genius. I’ve known pianists who’ve known her and her battle with competing with only herself is all-consuming. I’ve actually met her, twice in NYC. She’s a glorious mystery, a cipher, politely unapproachable. Nothing but charisma and otherworldly charm. The greatest artist of this or any other time. Happy 80th, Maestra!!
    1
  8045. This is really different - a critic (in the good sense) with a guitar. I agree with you on most of your likes. My only disagreement would be, one of the songs sounded like a Madonna retread and the another one sounded like Deep House like you would hear on DJ Drop G in any of his mixes. I think there are lots of good things going on in music today. Most of my contemporaries (60's and 70's rockers) don't agree. If they listened to you, Rick, they might change their minds. Thank you for uploading this.
    1
  8046. Rick and Lil' Jon......WHAT?!?!
    1
  8047. Rick.....I fucking hate you with more love than you can imagine!....I didn't realize people with SO MUCH TALENT.....I hadn't heard of.......I wanna hang in your studio!
    1
  8048. Now that's entertainment! Time to take the TV out to the curb...
    1
  8049. Wow! I wanted to say something more intelligent than that, but Wow is all I have ;-)
    1
  8050. I find this very strange that people don't realize you play guitar! I'd be less surprised if people didn't know you produced the incredible JLC album Between the Dim and the Dark! ;)
    1
  8051. Always leave a like on Rick's videos!

  8052. If you want to learn how to conduct an interview, watch this interview.

  8053. Geez, I had other plans tonight: now I just gotta watch this
    1
  8054. This was absolutely outstanding. By far one of the best interviews on YouTube and such an amazing insight into the music that shaped this country. Thank you Rick
    1
  8055. This is why I love this channel.
    1
  8056. What’s the deal with your channel? I rang the bell and haven’t got a notification in months.
    1
  8057. Lighting was on point in this video!
    1
  8058. Please someone tell me what is that blue guitar Rhett has?
    1
  8059. You are the rock version of Daniel Barenboim. Ive never seen anybody analyse this like you. Even did the lyrics into finger picking. Even called the mode
    1
  8060. Hey Rick, I'm a long time follower, first time commenter. Thanks so much for shining a light not only on your very talented friend, Johnny Diamond, but also on the depression that such talented people go through. I think it's a very helpful conversation to have, for many people. I've lost two that way in the past year alone. So glad you did this vid. And by the way, I thought your solo was absolutely incredible. My very best.
    1
  8061. I know Beethoven was deaf, but thanks to your video I can understand how he composed. This is the most interesting information I have learned and seen demonstrated watching YouTube. Thank you Rick!
    1
  8062. I love how...and this seems to happen often with Rick...the interviewed face away from Rick with little to no eye contact...then over the course of the interview...slowly start facing him with more and more eye contact. Then at the end they are talking like old long time friends. Love that! Great skilled interviews. Mark my words, these interviews will last centuries and be reviewed by music lovers for generations. What a great time to live in.
    1
  8063. Rick what do you know it's cocktail time here in Florida and as I reach for my cocktail I hoist my glass to toast Aunt Penny "go with the flow" thank you for introducing your aunt you just can't have too many good people in your life.
    1
  8064. Rick, I don't play a single instrument, know how to read music, but I love watching your videos. I am always most intrigued by things I know very little about.
    1
  8065. This is such a great interview.! Rick has mastered the art, and having a guest like Hans is icing on the cake.
    1
  8066. After a busy day at work this video made pause, rest, enjoy, admire. Rick, you are the best.
    1
  8067. Many intellectuals eventually discover that it's not their inability to read comprehend and retain the information that is in front of them but rather it is the information swirling inside their own creative intuitive and need to know mind that gets in the way. Once they figure out that it's not really in the way but actively working to seek new Solutions create new ideas from old ones or hopefully some new ideas out of thin air. We are pretty close to the same age. We are both multi-instrumentalist. We both work in audio engineering. We have passed the skills along to our children. You and I are much alike. I had the same issue. Don't dread it. Embrace your uniqueness and independent ability to think.
    1
  8068. You can stick your 30 second tiktok nonsense where the sun don't shine. This is entertainment, education, history, philosophy, in a captivating long-form video that seems to go past in 10 minutes. Never surrender Rick, you have a gift for this.
    1
  8069. I know I should not be responding to my own solo, but I cannot stop playing it. I must have listened to it 20 times. Thank you Rick, for sharing it and the story of your great friend John Diamond. I am really grateful that you exists.
    1
  8070. Dude, the drums all together, holy crap! That's got like Gil Norton Colour And The Shape sounds all over it. And the song itself makes me think of Hum, one of their more melodic tunes
    1
  8071. This is exactly the kind of interview everybody wants to see and hear but "professional" news people just can't do. It takes a musician to talk to musicians. I'm tired of the edgy questions meant to provoke a response that the "pros" love to do. I am also really bored with the likes of Jimmy Fallon using greats like The Rolling Stones to frame his own schtick while upstaging his guest.
    1
  8072. I am a teacher (35 years and going...we are about the same age), and thank you for this vid. I too was a lousy student in school. I think of this often and I think about my teachers, the good and the bad. My whole career, I've tried to make a positive difference with my students. Also I am glad you brought up "Maybe my students are smarter than me." I've taught the children of some of poorest families in America (on the Navajo Nation) and the children of some of the wealthiest families in certain countries (been teaching internationally for the last 20 years) and no matter where you are, you can find genius and talent no matter the income level. BTW, You have The Racetrack (Death Valley N.P.) as your desktop. Such a cool place. (Also teaching myself guitar...finally...at age 60...guitars are as cool as bicycles IMO.)
    1
  8073. Simply wonderful. When you hear a legend just converse person to person, and see just how humble they are, one's appreciation of Mr. Gilmour only increases. Thank you so much for bringing this to us. You are such a skilled interviewer, and you have a gift to draw out of your guest their honest humanity.
    1
  8074.  @RickBeato  Um.. No...its not simplistic. I play and write music. 25 years. So please dont patronize me mate. I get your reference to 'rock n roll' , not just being about a sound, but also an aura, and way an artist is. but in my opinion, she is not. In fact, after I saw her Vogue stuff, I was like, really, ? A little too early in her career to start acting all pre madonna, or even, early 80s Madonna in fact! I think you need to make a video of what YOU think classifies as rock, rock and rock...or what you prefer to call it,. Billie Eyelash, at best is alternative pop. And I think quite contrived in her attempt to be 'different. Kurt Cobain...was not. Wht he killed himself. Hated it. If she shoots herself in the head with a shotgun...Ill happily apologize to you! Anyway..thanks for the response. Makes me feel alive for once.
    1
  8075. Der Lord Rick, If your submission is only 20 minutes long why does it take me nearly an hour to watch your work.....because I am constantly going back over to watch the good stuff. Keep up the good work my liege, Best wishes from the UK
    1
  8076. Interesting that Doritros all start the same then get different dustings. Guilty pleasure, I will take down a bag every now and then!

  8077. Ive never seen Joe Satriani so candid in an interview. Great job Rick 👍🙏

  8078. Hi! i just bought the upgrade to the Beato Book, thank you for all those beautiful and interesting videos!

  8079. Not a false background - just the angle and distance of the 3 cameras

  8080. joe Passalacqua... Rick Beato... italian connection

  8081. Just when you think how can Rick's channel get any better.....this!
    1
  8082. My ride home after work is a blast with Rick on the speakers- no amount of traffic can piss me off- I just go to another tutorial... my wife sometimes wonders why I’m still sitting in the driveway..... got home too soon😜keep it going Rick!
    1
  8083. Just subscribed and donated to the channel. I mean, after watching the Ron Carter and Pat Metheny interviews, how could you not !? Thank you Rick, for creating these brilliant pieces of Music history.
    1
  8084. This video was as much a lesson in pure musicianship as it was anything else, drumming or not.
    1
  8085. I grew up in the 90's and had never heard of Frampton until this channel. At the heart of these videos is education. That's the thing that impresses me, thanks Rick, you're the music teacher i never had.
    1
  8086. That is exactly what I just did. Stopped everything and watched now. Rick your the best. Thank you for all you do.
    1
  8087. So here is what makes you and your channel so good. I hate this song, I don't know why, but I've just always hated it. Yet I watched this entire video and loved the breakdown of it.
    1
  8088. Subbed back at 19k. Could actually reach you on live chat then. Dylan's oboe adventure,Aunt Polly, 12 hrs live at Starbucks, Beato Book first version.....its been fun to follow your success.
    1
  8089. Do Berlin's Take My Breath Away. that is the closest i've ever heard to a musical hangover. Nauseating to listen to. i don't hate it, its just depressing to listen to. Bette Davis Eyes is the other one that i remember causing my stomach to churn a little. the cigarette hack voice vocals are a real treat.
    1
  8090. Adele was probably referring to the Northeastern convenience store franchise "WaWa". Great deli, good coffee.
    1
  8091. The only thing I regret that you can't do such interview with giants like Mozart, Bach, etc.
    1
  8092. It's just pure enriching fun to listen to both of you, on many levels. If a music interview makes you aware of another level of musical gift and skill, but instead of discouraging you, painfully aware of your own limitations, directly kicks back in your own joy of making music, and thinking about it, that interview can surely be called a full sucess. When I as a German studied at Heidelberg university many years ago, I wasn't ever imagining Jaco strolling around in Stuttgart a few years earlier, or Bright Size Life being recorded over at Ludwigsburg (where I drove through at nights as photo courier making money for my music gear).
    1
  8093. Rick you did a masterpiece, this interview will be watched in 2121 by yet unborn Pat fans.
    1
  8094. So glad I'm a subscriber to this channel and all of this music history
    1
  8095. I see the pelham blue LP standard I leave a like.. JK, it's rick, I leave a like anyway
    1
  8096. absolutely the best interview with Robben i've ever heard and no guitar. Go Rick

  8097. Subscribed. Triple platinum getting close! 😎

  8098. There's an ocean of music out there and most of us are just paddling around at the shoreline. It's rare that a new wave washes over us and carries us away, and that hasn't happened for a very long time.
    1
  8099. Brendan O’Brien not doing many interviews is tragic.. but luckily Rick just knocked out like 25 years worth of gold in a single punch.
    1
  8100. Best video I’ve seen this year, Rick! Incredible
    1
  8101. Rick the music teacher we all wanted
    1
  8102. It's things like this which is why this is the best channel on YouTube
    1
  8103. The rolling commentary : Exactly what I wanted to hear. Exactly what I expected to hear. He passed the baton, Rick. You're our guy, now. X
    1
  8104. That Bach piece is very Eric Johnsonish
    1
  8105. Today I will bark for Aunt Penny.
    1
  8106. This is content beyond anything of value I have seen on YouTube in years
    1
  8107. Rick, if you know Vinnie, then how about "What Makes This Song Great" on one of Tal Wilkenfeld's songs?
    1
  8108. You keep this up and people might just start to understand why you keep talking about jazz in rock music. I’m a huge STP fan and learned so much trying to play their songs.
    1
  8109. Rick's first Unboxing Video 🤣
    1
  8110. I understand almost nothing this guy does, but I love him. Great interview.
    1
  8111. Has to be YouTube 's best content period. This goes beyond Rick's channel.

  8112. Rick, this was awesome man. -Aaron
    1
  8113. Rick, I was a HS band director for 25 years , and if I let it this topic would sometimes run my life. If you want to do a serious deep-dive into this subject you should read "How Equal Temperament Ruined Harmony (and Why You Should Care)", by Ross W. Duffin. It's super interesting for all of us theory/harmony geeks.
    1
  8114. YouTube has been a wonderful thing for me it gives me access to so many things I love and appreciate. Be it vehicles, history, music, art in general. But more than that it has given people an accessible source of knowledge to talented and genius people like you Rick. Magazines and articles or books all credible sources of information seem so clunky now and help the lazy person glean information that once required more effort to access. We can plug into a platform where millions of like minded people are able to "tap in". Thank you for this channel it really is a gift.
    1
  8115. Lovely hang!
    1
  8116. Basically the rule of thumb if you want to have your kids be great rock guitar musicians: Don't listen to rock music around them. Listen to jazz , classical, R&B, etc.
    1
  8117. "utterly disposable" man that felt good to hear from someone other then myself. No one will be listening to the "popular" music of the era from 2010-20xx in 40 years because it's complete garbage. There is no harmonics, timbre, originality or anything worth wile to listen to. Most pop singers aren't even good singers...it's insane.. Don't get me wrong there's lots of great bands out there, but pop music of today is just terrible. I miss bands like Level 42..now that's some sweet pop rock.
    1
  8118. What a wonderful blend of a great, knowledgeable interviewer and an open, passionate, and articulate subject. Thank you so much.
    1
  8119. I love this channel
    1
  8120. That's how you do a plug.
    1
  8121. Rick remarkable presentation, your ability to examine Nine Inch Nails then Wes Montgomery and the Beethoven String Quartets is why I love your channel!
    1
  8122. Some day Rick is going to have to come back to Fairport to "hang out" and play a few gigs in one of the local watering holes.
    1
  8123. What a body of work you're amassing, Rick. Priceless unique interviews & tributes, along with thorough theory and technique instruction. Thanks for all you do! A comprehensive tutorial guide to producing--interspersed with personal recollections--is what I'm waiting for!
    1
  8124. Finally a fake background
    1
  8125. Hey Rick. When I first found your channel, I thought you were a wanker. Ha! How wrong was I ?! I dig the way you deconstruct songs, not to mention your fight to be able to use “alleged copyright material” when all you are doing is essentially promoting an artist and paying them respect. This video is brilliant in the way you tell the full story. I had no clue as to Kamen’s contribution. Remarkable. Is it true that Lee Ritenour played on the track? ✌🏽
    1
  8126. Rick, that was so amazing. Never heard of those Jazz guys, but mad respect. Thank you for explaining what might be going on in their mind they play and hammer out those notes. I understood a small amount of what you were saying, but I like that you explain what's going on. that does help!
    1
  8127. X-height? You know about that stuff? I taught typography!

  8128. This is hands down my favorite Rick Beato video
    1
  8129. Ok, Rick, you just produced the best video on YouTube. Now here is a challenge....3 guitarists to take on Kid Charlemagne. Any ideas out there in YouTubeland?
    1
  8130. Rick, I've watched countless interviews with Gilmore. This was the first where he seemed to enjoy the conversation and expressed himself genuinely and generously. Kudos!
    1
  8131. Rick's solo is Angus if he'd played in his high school jazz band. :)
    1
  8132. I love watching your videos. I know nothing about music theory or practice but I so appreciate watching you explain it.
    1
  8133. 👍 You're a great story teller. Really enjoyed this as a musician who has hearing loss.
    1
  8134. I just want to add to the others who complimented that guitar solo on Cardinal Motion. Really beautiful shape and details. That's the kind of solo that stands out and elevates a song. Kudos. Also, thanks for all the great insights you share on your channel. EDIT: Just watched the rest of the video. Sorry to hear about the loss of your friend. Losing a friend or family member to suicide is an awful experience.
    1
  8135. Rick you picked my 3 favourite Swervedriver tracks :-) I have the 2008 reissue of Mezcal Head and it has Planes Over The Skyline, and I just bought Youth At The Summit from Bandcamp (.flac or .alac lossless, or .mp3 downloads).
    1
  8136. Like my guitar teacher says, Geddy Lee's voice is an acquired taste. If you don't like it, acquire some taste.
    1
  8137. Thank You, love the in depth analysis. Awesome to learn the "theory" behind the music. Appreciate the time and effort
    1
  8138. I'm a fan - this is my first critical comment of you or the site. Lists of 'Bests' will always be subjective, so your selection will always be different to mine. Given your background and experience, certainly more informed. But if you set the parameters of a list, at least stick to them: Singer Songwriters of All Time Elton John is not a singer-songwriter (look up Bernie Taupin) Simon & Garfunkel are not a singer-songwriter America are not a singer-songwriter Stephen Sondheim was not a singer-songwriter (as you point out) and then credit Judy Collins By this point, the list was just a series of songs you like And ALL TIME?? Did nothing happen before and after the 70s?? And I thought you were a fan of The Beatles? McCartney and Lennon might be co-creditied, but they wrote solo. Ditto Ray Davies from The Kinks, And while squeezing Brits into your US-dominated list, I'll thrown in David Bowie, Sting, Elvis Costello, Noel Gallagher, Kate Bush, Ewan MacColl, Freddie Mercury, Gerry Rafferty, Richard Thompson... But if you can't get across the pond, at least go north of the border. How can your list exclude Leonard Cohen? And if you don't, consider Billy Joel. Really! Oh yes, and an up-and-coming singer-songwriter called Stevie Wonder PS - How much were your choices influenced by the style and range of your vocalist?
    1
  8139. Waited for like a million years for this tour, and it was awesome. I also love that you have 8000 Les Pauls.
    1
  8140. Love that you pointed out Johnny Griffin's solo on Blue n Boogie. This is the track I use when trying to explain to people what great jazz is :)
    1
  8141. Rick, it’s a pleasure watching you talk about your experiences. You bring a unique perspective as a musician/producer who has come up through the ranks to become a gem in the music world. You’ve earned big time respect from big time musicians! That’s not only a testament to your knowledge and experience, but also to your work ethic and humility. God bless you, bro! Have a very merry Christmas! I look forward to watching your videos in the new year! 🤙
    1
  8142. so glad this is back up!
    1
  8143. Wait... leave a comment?.. but you won't read them because they are just a reflection of us?.. but you really want to know how we feel about this subject?... im sorry Im confused.. But, by the way, 19 minutes into the Nuno interview.. without exaggeration, helped my climb out of the deepest depression I have ever known. Fortunately, im not an addictive personality, but I was addicted to performance, the stage, the crowd, and when I was forced to make a decision that extinguished that... well... Thank you for that interview. thank you for the channel. and, I guess, I hope you read this comment... it would feel good to know you got it. best, R.C.
    1
  8144. Been watching your channel since the beginning. Rick, I have to tell you just how much I enjoyed this one. It may be your best one yet. I loved the enthusiasm and love for the music. It was so contagious, coupled with my love for Peter and this particular song, it just made my entire day. I actually got those concert goer chills a few times and I've missed those feelings you get from live music so much. Covid sucks but you just gave me that feeling. Whatever you are doing, keep doing it! Love and respect brother!

  8147. I’m following your channel for quite a while now and I think I never commented on one of your videos. But this one really touched me. When I saw that Johnny was born the same year that I am it really struck me. Life can be so short. So let’s be grateful for every day. Let’s be grateful for every friend. I’m sorry for the loss of your friend. All these songs are really great! You should definitely publish them. And thanks for all the amazing videos you’re making for us!

  8151. This video should be required viewing for all humans. It is the truest truth that was ever truthed.
    1
  8152. I learned two things from this video, 1) I liked the sound of the guitar with mini humbuckers best and 2) Rick has terrible taste in hats! 😉😊😁
    1
  8153. Rick you got me now. I hugely respect what you do and your knowledge about music. I had the honour to see Keith Jarrett live back in the 80s solo piano. Unforgettable timeless expirience. To me Keith has been and always would the epitome of piano. My favorite by far.
    1
  8154. Is that your noise Rick? You must have a hell of pro wiring in that studio! That is my hum with humbuckers XD
    1
  8155. What you should take away from this video, Other than being weirdly inspired by this rant is if you ever want to get Ricks attention, be a douchebag and write and ignorant blog rant about one of the greatest artists from the last 60 years saying they are irrelevant and Rick will address you. I’m not saying he will be nice, but he will address you 😂 great rant Rick, and as i said, it was actually inspiring because of the way you angled it with 200 years from now they will talk about someone who lives now who nobody knows today 👏👍

  8156. TY!!!! Just made a donation, BUT there will NEVER be another conversation like this. Simply F'ing AMAZING!!!

  8157. Rick, here play the solo in front of the guy that wrote it ... nice job!

  8159. So ... basically ... " how was your day ? " " ...oh , y'know ... no big deal. Just got to sit a few feet away from Christopher Cross as he sang and played Sailing on acoustic guitar " How effing good is it to be Rick Beato ?!?!

  8160. See you in Stockholm, can´t wait! :)

  8161. Watched again and donated again. Want to see more amazing interviews like this. Happy to keep donating to help you make it happen, Rick. Godspeed.
    1
  8162. This is exactly what happens when Rick, a musical savant, interviews Ron Carter, possibly the greatest bass player of all time, certainly, we would all agree a massive trailblazing innovator. We gain historical questions, no hand-me-down stories, and an insight into what really happened in the '50s and '60s with music. The fact that no one got paid for live albums is a disgrace, and I am sure left a lot of amazing musicians extremely disappointed. Rick, you are timestamping music history here with questions no one else could ask for all to see forever. Wonderful!

  8163. His soloing on the ascending chord part reminds of me of Carlton on “Don’t take me Alive”

  8164. How am I not subscribed? Fixed.

  8165. best channel on youtube!!!!
    1
  8166. The reason you get the numbers you do is 1. You are the real deal. You have established an honorable spot in the music circle 2. Famous musicians respect you. Look what happened with the Christopher Cross thing. That snowballed into another great interview. 3. And as you say, the fact that you interview musicians from a musician standpoint, is why these guys love to spend time with you. When you start conversing with Sting about his cord progression thinking.. it’s stuff like that that brought him right out of the sticky norm. It’s the reason why the Pat Metheny interviews were so awesome. Ironically, before I hit this particular video today, 2 hours earlier, I was having a conversation with a friend of mine about your channel, about YouTube in general being the place to promote music instead of the old way, and how YOU actually gave a video explaining how that works. He was asking me “how do you get ahead on YouTube”. I used you as the example and told him YouTube is basically the place to be if you know how to do it… And by the way, he doesn’t follow too much of this stuff, but he knew who you were! So there you go! 🤷🏻‍♂️🤨😁😎

  8167. I also love goodfellow. If Target had a music instrument department, I could buy everything I need from one store

  8168. 57:18 “What makes this song great..” with Rick & Rick. Edit: just realised 2 hours gone. Ridiculously engaging. Neither Rick in a hurry to leave which was awesome.
    1
  8169. Please forgive me for this, but when I watch your emotive reactions to the music you feature, I wish that I could be in a mind meld with your brain as Spock was capable of in Star Trek or that movie " Being John Malkovich". Thank you for your work.
    1
  8170. Ricky That's why you are one of the best interviewers about the genre ever because you let the people talk and are not narcissistic so you respect your guest and the audience. You should take that as a compliment about people getting mesmerized in seeing you playing. I have been following your channel since you started it, well as much as I could.and of course you are a hellava player man. Somebody should be thinking about interviewing YOU my friend and again thank you for what you have been doing for the musicians community, we appreciate that a lot and we do not take it for granted. Cheerz buddy and keep rockin' :D \m/
    1
  8171. I would like to see a T-shirt that has an instantly recognizable intro quote reading: [“Hey everybody, I’m Rick Beato!”] America’s music teacher. A great storyteller and a top notch musician as well. One of the best channels and places to come to for great advice, to learn and to feel genuinely good and engaged with the host. Fantastic channel. Great success Mr. Beato!

  8172. The gated reverb drum sound was also created by accident. Bottom line is, people, if you want to become a famous producer, screw up every once in a while... :D
    1
  8173. Not at all my style of music. It’s basically a hokey showtune. It’s more like watching a master chess tournament than listening to music. That said, his skill on the piano is massive. I’ve only seen classical pianists play as good. I’ve never heard of Oscar Peterson but this performance put the hook in me so I’ll check out more of his stuff for sure. Ok - first tune I checked out is “Work Song” from Very Tall, and right off the bat I’m hearing his influence on Tangerine Dream and Andy Summers. It’s not what I expected - it’s a very expressive composition. This is my kind of musician. Very cool!!

  8175. Great job, as always Rick. You're the best. Your musicality and intelligence is 2nd only to your enthusiasm. Thanks.
    1
  8176. I love David GIlmour, however, I prefer David Gilmour's playing over this guy. You should try to have David Gilmour on next. (My apologies, the Gilmour Effect erroneously kicked in just now!)
    1
  8177. Your phrase from an older video "Low information music" has infected my brain and I find it hard not to actually say it out loud when I hear it. And that's not to say minimalist music, I am a huge fan of minimalist music and the thought that goes into keeping a song compelling while using the bare minimum. But low information music is just that, low information...low inspiration.
    1
  8178. You just knew Rick would have cool chord changes. Never would have guessed though a space rock vibe ❤

  8179. This video should have 10 M views

  8184. Never posted on your page EVER, but that solo is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! Sorry for the loss of your friend, Rick... 🙏🏼

  8185. I can tell you right now that this will NOT be your last job.

  8186. Rick you just proved that music has not just getting worse over the past forty years but the past four hundred.
    1
  8187. i wish people would give more love to other BÖC songs, cause they're NOT a one hit wonder. they have such great catalogue.

  8188. The best part of this video is the Jazzmaster!!!!! The music to me is so bland and absolutely boring
    1
  8189. Talk about epically triggered. I have been a follower for a long, long time.. but, this is as good as it gets! This planet won't be here in 200 years. Enjoy all the music you can, while we still can!

  8190. This is one of the most important YouTube video's I've ever seen. I couldn't agree more.
    1
  8191. Not only can he play guitar, he can play guitar… like that
    1
  8192. This is one of the best arguments on any topic I have ever heard. Exceptionally well done, Rick. As a marketer and designer who does the work, I hate how most “creatives” have turned to AI for everything. It’s disgusting.
    1
  8193. Whoah, it has been a trend to say every interview seems to be the best thing since sliced bread for so long... I mean even his amazing Vai interview way back when is just incredible. While I never ever want to hold anyone to this level, I can say man what an incredible journey. Also the courses are amazing... Guess I just wanted to say, thank you for making this and putting so much work and devotion to it and I hope you get as much joy from it as your audience does.
    1
  8194. It seems to me that this mostly only happens to musicians, not artists in other media. For example, we don't automatically ignore new works by painters or novelists just because they're getting on in years. True, fame will burn bright only for a small length of time, but that's different from artistry. We don't assume that a writer whom we've loved in the past has nothing new to say to us. Filmmakers may be accused of repeating themselves, but they are at least allowed to be auteurs for the length of their lives. I'm not a social scientist, so I'm not really sure why this attention-deficit happens for music. Could it be in part that the dreaded music industry hype machine has conditioned us all to continuously move on to the next piece of ephemera?
    1
  8195. FINALLY! So glad you got him!
    1
  8196. Not to be negative here, because the love RB shows for music is infectious, and the process of a persons thought is always intriguing, combined with the content, this vid is totally uplifting. However, at the time of this writing, 80 people have spent the energy to put a thumbs down on this vid. Are these marks coming from humans? I dont set myself up as any standard, but I’ve never applied a thumbs down to any instruction. Sometimes those negative marks hit me like psychopathic energy — they scare me. Thanks for sharing this Mr. B!

  8197. Rick Johnson Beato.... LOL! I tried to tell these fools that Eric Stole from you, metheny and classical music. Eric Beato.

  8198. A Holy Grail of interviews. One that I know I'll come back to often. Probably already required viewing at Berklee College of Music.

  8199. My brother died the same day. Adam was 41 :(

  8200. Like many who watch your gear, I love music, but I'm no muso. It's delivery that has me watching your vids (such as this guitar vs that guitar) that I find myself locked into, while not understanding a bloody thing you say. Great work. I tell everyone about your channel. Ok, not everyone, but a lot of people I know.
    1
  8201. This channel is for the musicians and the music fan. Depending on your level of talent and experience, there is something here for you. Keep it up Rick, we love the content.
    1
  8202. If the water was rising and washing away the internet bit by bit, I would put YouTube on the highest point on the island to enjoy until the last. The reason? Beautiful interviews and content like this. Thank you, Rick and David, for taking the time to share this with us all. So appreciated.

  8203. If I could hit that like button a hundred time, I would do it

  8204. Wow I need to listen to Gordon more closely now and thank you Rick.

  8205. I'm leaving a comment (because it's important). Thanks for another great video Rick! Me and my brother Dave are big fans. I turned Dave on to your channel a couple of years ago, and he's a bigger fan than me. He's also a great guitar player and lives in New York state. Anyway keep up the great work!

  8210. This is Rick's special sauce, he's a musician's musician. No pretense, just a love of music.

  8211. Wow a masterpiece of an interview. The pacing and vibe of interview Rick is an artform that you excell in. So musical inspiring and magical soulfull. Rick your show is the realest!

  8213. The only song that e v e r y o n e can sing through the whole song would be "Bohemian Rhapsody" So that should be the ultimate anthem song. Go ahead, put it on...I bet you can sing the whole song.
    1
  8214. Every. Single. Word. Just like Pat's playing, his thoughts and eloquence of communication have shape and deep meaning. This is truly one of the greatest discussions about music and playing that we've ever seen. Kudos Rick for clearly being the right guy for Pat to sit with. He clearly respects you and therefore was able to speak comfortably and freely. Pat has been a huge influence for me ever since Offramp and continues to be a benchmark for songwriting and solo development. I know I'll watch this many more times. Thank you Rick for providing ALL this amazing content....and thank you Pat for being compulsively productive!!!! You inspire us all. And PS! How about that Charlie Christian pickup???? Love it ❤️❤️❤️ And PPS: Heading to your donate page now and recommend everyone do the same. Support your favorite artists and content providers!!

  8216. This is a beautiful tribute, to a great musician regardless of the age. You Rick, have honoured all musicians with this insight into the life of a fellow musician.

  8217. I hope a million of these are sold 🎉❤

  8218. Man, I just love how these guys are basically speaking same language without minding the age gap.

  8221. Thanks Rick, Somehow my comment posted before I finished. Those alt things are interesting, and I mentioned the other night, best line " a million stars are out tonight, could spark neon from candlelight." For those whom haven't checked out Swervdriver, I highly encourage you to pick up at least Mezcal Head.

  8222. Thank you for doing these vids because it always brings me as a listener closer, old or new. You're the best

  8223. Great vid rick as always. Would you ever do a tutorial on how to use the Beato track isolator?
    1
  8224. Rick Beato is the best music channel on youtube. Now delivering philosophy and philanthropy. Music is love. Love is majestic, Majesty is loving music. Thank you Rick. We share your passion and pain, we love you.
    1
  8225. Rick - your timing is causing me problems. I have a lot of work to do tonight. And you posted this just before I was about to get started.
    1
  8226. I'm always concerned when I see phase shifting and I wonder if I should leave it as it is. Thanks for clarifying this... when you say "everything music", you really mean it, you know all about it!
    1
  8227. Do you ever just mope around, reminisce and think all the great times are just in your memory and record collection? Then something like the Tribute Concert for Taylor Hawkins, and an interview like this comes around and you realize - rock is still alive, cool people are still around, well....thank you Rick, your stuff is always fascinating, passionate, and yeah, you might have broke this band. Going to check all their stuff out now. Way to go! You may have one, I don't know about it, but you'd be great at facilitating a podcast! Keep it up.
    1
  8228. This is unbelievable stuff. Amazing work Rick!
    1
  8229. Rick just held a Master Class with a master. Rick, you’re such a great interviewer and Joe is such a great interview. He seems like such a nice guy and has worked so hard to get to the top. He’s also a gear nerd, so what more could you ask for? Joe is one of the people that I would love to have dinner with to just have a conversation. We would start with what it was like to be on the road with BB?
    1
  8230. this is the best interview to Metheny, I have ever watched and maybe the best interview to a musician ever. It is going to withstand the test of time! it is a document that it will stay there forever also after Metheny will stop play..
    1
  8231. I'm not a Yes fan, but I always welcome any chance to watch Wakeman spin yarns. He's a master story teller with wicked humor, although this interview stuck more to serious matters. And Rick being the master interviewer, he asks one question and gets out of the way for 10 minutes.
    1
  8232. Rick that's a fly shirt
    1
  8233. Rick is a great interviewer.. he lets his guest speak his mind.. he asks short but suitable question which leads the guest into something meaningful... and the vastness of knowledge , both in music and in production which he has, also makes him great in interviewing legends .
    1
  8234. It doesn't get any more real than this video...and the solo? I'm sure Peter would watch like all of us and say, no way Peter Framptonish, more like Rick Beato. That is a great Rock guitar solo...👍🎸🎵🎼🎶😃
    1
  8235. Best news all day,Do Happy for you,,perfect.Yep
    1
  8236. I remember this song being a little kid listening to the radio in my parents' car. After Rick's breakdown, it's mind-blowing to think that this was just a normal pop song you'd hear.
    1
  8237. I just realized this video came full circle with Rick's video on autotune a year ago.
    1
  8238. Rick, these type of videos where you analyze music are your best. I've taken written notes to many of them. Please do more!
    1
  8239. you are the best interviewer of musicians i have ever seen.

  8240. We love your channel and the videos you post because we love you, the topics you cover and how you expose them... as simple as that. ;)

  8242. Funny, I also shed an eye sweat while watching that scene from Toy story 3 with my son. But not at the claw's (and lydian's) entrance, but just prior to that, when the terror and panic from the impending doom switches to resignation, as the toys look at each other, and without a word, hold hands and surrender to their end. I'm sure music had a big part in it, but the scene's motif, in an of itself, has a very deep emotional meaning. It caught me off guard.
    1
  8243. Hello Mr Beato what I am beginning to understand is that your autobiographical videos are more enjoyable than the musical stuff [the music stuff is still interesting but] The story about impressing your Dad is great. Thank you so much...be more than well Blood.
    1
  8244. It's Love is still one of my favorite songs ever, period. I went into this video ready to unsubscribe if you didnt include King's X. You're the man!

  8246. Greatest Trash Can ending EVER. Check. Greatest Live Performance EVER. Check. Best Music Channel on the Internet. Check. "Comes Alive" was released in January of '76 and I saw Peter Frampton on this tour in June of that year at JFK in Philly. Yes was the headliner, but Frampton absolutely stole the whole day. The same energy and vibe you "catch" when you listen to the double album was thick in the atmosphere that day when he and the band performed the set. One of the best concerts I've ever been to.

  8247. Excellent work sir. I love your channel to begin with but this… this is amazing stuff. Well done.
    1
  8248. Hey Rick, I Love Your Channel! Like many I suppose, I would tap into your channel on occasion, and as I became more appreciative of your content, I then subscribed to your channel. Keep Up the Great Work! Always Interesting!
    1
  8249. Sorry for your loss Rick, condolences to you and your family. My dad was my musical influence, lost him to cancer nine years ago.... Hold on to those memories.

  8250. Beautiful tribute. Thank you, Rick. Joni has always been one of my favorites. Her lyrics are more than lyrics, they're poetry. I'm glad WBM regained sanity and put this episode back up.

  8251. Rick Beato thank you so much for the heads up, reply, and all the great content!

  8252. Couldn’t comment on the latest live stream, but thanks for the discount code! Bought the Beato Book 4.0 already! Stay safe and healthy, and more power from the Philippines!

  8253. Thanks Rick!

  8254. Rick....I love your music themed vids but these vids...the introspective moments, the honesty. I feel like I know you man. Keep doing it. Keep open and keep smiling. It's infectious. Love you brother.
    1
  8255. Who the hell dislikes a video like this?! WTF! That pisses me off. Sorry Rick. It just does. Regardless, she seemed like an inspiration of magnitude. Now I have to sneak to the kitchen for a beverage hoping to not get caught by the kids balling. Love you brother.

  8256. Rick needs to get adam (nolly) getgood on here

  8257. Seems like a highly unique career history, starting in that storied early British blues scene and through the British Invasion and ending up in the very vanguard of post-punk and New Wave. I'm sure there are others who overlapped but I don't know them right off hand...
    1
  8258. I'm so thankful for Rick's videos. This is incredibly touching. A loving tribute to his dad regarding an album I bought as a young man in the mid seventies; all while playing a Pat Metheny signature Ibanez, signed by Pat. Living vicariously through Rick's videos has been a blessing, as are the lessons gained in the process.
    1
  8259. Not much a commenter, but wanted to stop in and say I really appreciated the context you gave before the interview.

  8260. Best Movie of the Year

  8261. Rick, loved the story. You are one "real" dude. I look forward to your posts, I finally have a reason to watch youtube, lol. Btw, I have a shirt like that and the pockets look exactly the same. They bug the living crap out of me, but the shirt is so soft I keep wearing it. Keep up the good work. If you ever make it up to Cartersville when things thaw out, look me up and I'll buy you lunch/dinner/etc!

  8262. rick I just love this show I allways wach you wile i am sitting alone in my room in the late hours It is allways super entering thank you so much for making these videos
    1
  8263. As you asked for it: yes, I watched every second of this video and as usual enjoyed every second :) And "good luck with the edit, jesus christ" would have been an awesome title for that one :D
    1
  8264. I’m sorry to hear about your loss, Rick. Having just lost my father I feel the emptiness and the need to be able to fill up on great happy memories. It’s fantastic that you were able to capture her energy and positivism to remember and treasure her by. She lives on! 🎹🎼 Thank you for your daily inspiration.
    1
  8265. Rick, You are not only on top of what is happening from a contemporary perspective but you have the historic understanding and you connect the dots. You bring insight from the big picture and you provide the nuance. Thank you for inviting us into the conversation and giving us something more than when we arrived.
    1
  8266. Congratulations Rick, you deserve it!!! Thanks for what you do!! I hope this message reaches you and I hope you accept it as genuine.

  8267. I'm glad this song is no longer blocked! Congrats Rick!

  8268. Your passion for all things music is why I subscribed and watch. I find it attractive and addictive. The twinkle in your eye, the enthusiasm in your air drumming. I am a not a musician but I am a fan of your passion.

  8269. Laughed at that one too

  8270. My biggest takeaway from this video (aside from Rick's great content) is I have to move the out of the frozen tundra that is Minnesota. That park!
    1
  8271. Hey Rick, I'm glad to hear you are not quitting. You have something today that you didn't have 6 years ago: TOTAL CREDIBILITY. You can interview Pat Metheny, Scofield, Joni Mitchell or anyone you want like no other can because you won their respect. I look forward to more good stuff, some ideas for future interviews if you have not done it yet. John Adams, Antonio Sanchez, Osvaldo Golijov, Billie Elish, Stevie Wonder, Wayne Shorter and more.

  8272. occasionally i watch a 'what makes this song great' video about a ttrack i didn't care one bit about and at the end of it i have a whole new appreciation not only for the song, but for the artists who created it..... i watch other channels more often, but none, in the history of youtube, have given me so much insight.....music is everything and this channel has elevated my love for music far beyond what it was
    1
  8273. I perform nightly with my 93 year old trumpet playing dad on YouTube. Being part of a music legacy that goes back over 100 years. Thanks for showing the importance of music in the family! I watch your videos in entirety at least once!! Thanks for posting and my deepest condolences for your loss!

  8274. strumming near the bridge seemed to really nail it...you bought the guitar to do this, that's dedication!

  8277. Rick, I've been involved in media (broadcasting) since I was in my teens, I've seen countless interviews with some extremely interesting people. This was fantastic! Your questions were insightful, but more importantly you understood him as an artist and let him speak, and wander finding those stories and moments that add up to more than a career, but a life. Really a wonderful and moving sit down with Mr. Robben Ford. ps - I've been a big fan of his and of course Miles Davis since my last year in High School in 85 after playing for 4 years in the Stage band (jazz band) as 1st chair playing trombone. Again man, beautiful interview.

  8278. Never heard that heartbreaking letter before. How he wrote such stunning music after losing his hearing will always be something of a mystery. Have rather loud, full time, tinnitus. Still heard yours though.

  8279. Some of interesting omissions: Eric Johnson, GnR/Slash, Steve Vai, Guthrie, Satriani, Pearl Jam/Cready and those are just names, there's also Maggot Brain as a piece or what Warren Haynes did with Kortez along Dave Matthews in Central Park Though, gotta remember that you can easily make a top 10-20 for each and every of the mentioned artists themselves. This comment is mostly meant for people who want inspiration to listen to next 20 interesting rock solos.

  8280. Daniel Barenboin, he is another great Argentine pianist, the current general music director of the Berlin State Opera is one of the most important living reserves of musical knowledge, he is 78 years old.

  8281. I'm not sure if your comment is being fair to Rick and his channel, Jorge. After all, Rick makes videos about a broad range of artists, old and new, and also has conversations like this with them. For a metalhead like me, Misha Mansoor and Tosin Abasi come to mind.

  8288. The most amazing part about this song, and the whole album for that matter, is the recording quality. This is from a four piece band!!! Sounds like so much more. The fidelity and blending of the parts is exquisite. Musical craftsmanship at its best...

  8289. I love how you translated the facial expressions of jazz musicians, already at master status, in utter awe of the pure inspiration taking place before them. it really puts it in perspective for us all. no matter how good we get, we ain't Oscar Peterson.

  8291. Rick, this is arguably your most important video because it's about culture as something we can cultivate ourselves on a daily basis.

  8295. I'm at a loss for words. All I can say is that I'm heart broken. Thanks for sharing your story Rick and sharing the story of your friend, Johnny Diamond. I raise my axe in the sky for Johnny Diamond

  8296. I saw an old Dick Cavet clip where he interviews Paul Simon about the writing of Bridge over Troubled water. PS talked about why he chose certain chords for different parts of the song. And he would demonstrate on his acoustic guitar. PS was so into it that it gave me chills. For instance and if memory serves me correctly, he chose a gospel chord progression for "When tears are in your eyes...."Amazing. And BTW Springsteen has such a huge fan base and catalogue that there is no way he could be forgotten. For me, he is the John Steinbeck of Rock music. RB...never mention that impotent singer songwriter's name again! Stephen

  8297. Rick is just the best at interviews. I could go on, like I have in most of his interviews - but, I’ll just leave it at that. **Would LOVE to see an interview with Phil Keaggy. Come on, Rick - he lives in Nashville now. Please try and make that happen!!
