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.
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 RUclips award for Rick’s interviewing successes.
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).
@@guitarreilly I think the point was, these guys are important figures beyond the platform, unlike creators who achieved notoriety by getting good at youtube (learning to work the algo, learning to produce video that works for the format, following [or setting] trends): No, these guys have gifts to bring that don't depend on the youtube platform. it may be how they reach their audience, but if it were taken away today, they'd still have important things to say.
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.
this sort of ‘fly on the wall’ insight into a conversation like this between two musical doyens, makes me so grateful for this platform. thank you Rick and Adam - love both of your channels. cheers
Great conversation, they should do this more of them. Rick's mentioning that Keith Jarrett had wished he had recorded with Wayne Shorter really got me thinking what an awesome collaboration that would have been.
"I'm not going to say his name, but Rhett....." I literally laughed out loud 😂😂😂 this was an extremely insightful interview. I continue to glean so much from Rick's channel
Both of you are perfect well-spoken, intelligent and reasonable show hosts and at the same time good musicians. Before RUclips we were not really exposed to people showing both qualities. It is a joy to learn about music, history, musicians, music theory, music interpretation, musical experimentation and society by a good presenter. If both your videos were half as good then still they would be better than 98% of the internet. So I hope you don't feel too much pressure and continue making enjoyable and educational videos.
I'm studying classical cello, and I did check out the Keith Jarrett interview. I've been watching yours and Adam's videos for years as a jazz outsider, and I keep coming back because I know there's something beautiful about it. That interview with Keith Jarrett was one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. I'd never heard of him before and I still don't comprehend much of what it's like to be a jazz musician, but I could feel his humanity through his playing. That was something. So thank you for doing what you do, educating, sharing history and theory, and documenting a bit of the lives of some amazing people.
Not only are classical music composers taught in school but their music is used so ubiquitously in movies, TV, commercials, etc. Even if people don't know all of their names, I'm sure most still know the melodies.
I actually talked about a similar discussion in my PhD dissertation. Events (and in your conversation artists) have a lifespan that has changed because of technological advances. Our traditions of sheet music and or oral/aural musical traditions shifted with the advent of recorded technology. I talked about how Blues music was a perfect example because it was primarily aural/oral and was passed down that way, but with recorded technology it changed our conception of what a musical event meant. Really great convo!
It was known by composers because it was good for learning music theory, but it was considered old fashioned and wasn't performed. Mendelssohn did see the musical value in it and presented it to audiences.
Vivaldi might be the better example. Very popular in his lifetime, faded into obscurity soon after his death, no children to promote his legacy, basically forgotten for two centuries, then revived about a century ago by Fritz Kreisler and has become one of the most recognizable composers in the mass culture ever since.
@@digitaljanusGustav Mahler is another more recent example. His music fell off the radar for about 50 years after he died until Leonard Bernstein’s recordings reintroduced him to a new generation in the 1960s. Now his symphonies are among the most frequently played in the world. It’s notable too that in all three of these cases - Bach, Vivaldi, and Mahler - it wasn’t teachers, critics, or scholars who inspired their rehabilitations. It was other musicians who had a genuine passion for their works and used that passion to inspire other people to give those composers another listen.
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.
I loved this conversation! You guys are so well spoken and ask each other really poignant questions. This 80-year concept is fascinating to me because I've spent time thinking about what it means to be in the public consciousness and why some artists are remembered more deeply than others. I agree with Adam that education plays a large role - the aural and oral traditions keeping individuals alive - as well as the simple fact that other artists enjoy performing and doing renditions of what we call jazz standards. When something is good, it's undeniable, and you want to replicate it or put your own spin on it. Please keep doing these interesting discussions!
It's so refreshing hearing two people speaking with well thought out arguments going back and forth, compared to so much BS these days. Which are mostly just dumping poorly understood offensive statements.
…thinking about triads vs fourths… I can’t say I ever thought that exactly. But starting today, I will be! Thanks Rick and Adam! What you do Rick is NOT intuitive, it’s a gift and thank you for sharing it!
Just watched your 2022 chat. Will save this for later because I have to send some videos to my son to aid in recovery. But really like you both and watch many of your videos. Always entertaining, always instructive. And I am a non-musician, but I can learn from you a lot about what I cannot do or play.
Great Video! Two great tastes that taste great together! You are two of my favorite music instructors and I have learned so much from both of you. Your song analysis videos are oh so useful and informative. Because of you both, I understand chords and the way that they function such to be useful in my own compositions. It is great to see you both in the same video working together. A nice way to start my morning. 🙂
Hey Rick, I love your channel. I am a blind guitar player, I love the things that you were doing on your channel. I love the interviews, it’s just awesome thank you for doing what you’re doing. Sending many blessings and best wishes from the blind guy. Peace. 19:32
Great point from Adam about the quality of the recording. I think what one might also take into the consideration is that many modern musicians have a history with indie music, which also tends to have lower quality performance and mixes.
Honestly, Rick, I found out about you through Mary Spender and Adam. But I've stayed because you are an awesome person and I love how your videos are young meets old.
Artists like The Bee Gees died 4 times during their long career but grew stronger after every death. Yet a RUclips producer only ever gets one short stab at popularity, there is rarely ever another time of mass popularity. So much of the online environment is fleeting, short stabs of being popular, whatever popular is. I should have quit 6 years ago when I was ahead of the curve. Hanging on has done some very serious damage to my health
As a RUclipsr that contemplated quitting a few times, seeing you talk about enjoying that type of videos is kind of hilarious. I won't give you the satisfaction! You won't see a quitting video from me 🤣
Rick is winning the RUclips music teachers game by miles above some of my favorite music teachers on the platform! I bought the Beato ultimate bundle a few weeks ago Rick! Thinking of becoming a member of the Beato Club as well! Thank you for all that you do! So glad with the interviews and guests you’ve had on recently.
I live in Europe. Bach, Beethoven, and a host of other European composers are still very much a part of popular culture here. I listen to classical music every day on the radio and concerts happen regularly everywhere. It seems to be deeply woven into the fabric of the society.
Love this Interview! Can we get an Anthony Jackson interview please? He has played on so many amazing records! Chaka Khan’s Naughty, his invention of the 6 string and early adoption of the round wound bass string, Michel Camilo, Michel petrucciani, Hiromi, Steely Dan… etc etc etc.
So many insightful comments in here which I feel is a reflection of the conversation. Which, off the cuff, is more listenable than most preconceived videos/convos because the Quality of the two speaking is high. Their Quality in their life and effort to learn shines through to us and it inspires me. Should get off RUclips and play guitar but not til this convo is over.
what a great episode. I would love if you did more jazz content. The Metheny interview of course was EPIC. Lots of great cats out there. Moreno, Hekselman, Criss Potter etc etc.....
Hi Rick, in regards to your 'Why Do We Stop Listening to Our Favorite Artists?', I think you could call it 'Aging out', not that the band becomes less relevant but that the person listening to a favorite bands tastes change and expand and focus changes and they move on.
Nice shout out to Knowing Better. Always fun when one of your favorite RUclipsrs mentions they're also a fan of another one of your favorite RUclipsrs.
@@peachmelba1000 I think he has a lot to offer musically as well. I recently watched his American guitar technique videos and he seems like he has a lot of musical history under his belt, and in one of videos he says jazz improvisation and the like improves non linear thinking, hence his interests in other fields with the same principles applied to them. He often refers to himself as being just a "hippie guitarist". He seems like a genuinely good guy with a lot of music experience and it's influence in other domains as well. I'd sure love to see him being interviewed by Rick Beato
This is the equivalent of Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt talking NASCAR, Joe Montana and Joe Namath talking football, LeBron James and Michael Jordan talking basketball and Gordon Ramsay Emeril Lagassé talking food (I was tempted to list like a hundred more, but you get my point) The best, most accomplished and knowledgeable names in their respective fields. This is magic!
Too short this interview! A friend of mine said something about how he sees Adam Neely, he said he sees Adam talking about music the same way he watched Carl Sagan talking about the nature. I never thought about that, but I think it makes sense. Love these guys.
Love your interviews! You think you're ever going to get PETER GABRIEL on!? Would love to hear some of the breakdowns and how he puts his tracks together. I've always been mesmerized by how he can make odd time sigs and unusual melodies part of the public conscious!
Similar to memes, crossword puzzles a way that certain words are retained in popular consciousness (maybe not as popular nowadays) past the time they would naturally disappear. There's a meta-value, based on the pattern of letters, that exists apart from the inherent meaning, that is advantaged in crossword grids and is retained.
Gentlemen: as always a pleasure to see you both together. Please note that aural is not pronounced as oral but rather as “OW-rul” in Britain assigning to the A and U their own sound as one would do in Italian and Spanish for example. Otherwise it does cause unnecessary confusion between the two. Hope that helps!
This entire concept breaks my heart. So many greats that will be forgotten…And then there’s the greats that were never known… Bob Hope was perhaps the funniest and most witty to ever do it!! Great topic guys. PS. I think certain bands will be reborn and studied for hundred of years, again and again… #Queen #TheBeatles
Our time will pass. People will find, create, appreciate and fall in love with their own great artforms, and keep only whatever from our time still speaks to them.
Most modern RUclipsrs have a PHD in Google and Wikipedia. But when someone truly UNDERSTANDS AND APPRECIATES their subject matter, they have the tools required to COMMUNICATE it effectively and enjoyably. (Communication is its own skill, but without those other two fundamental elements, it's infotainment.)
You are totally on point. My chemistry professor, when I was working on my Masters in education, once told me that most can get a degree in education, but only a small percentage are good teachers. They have the "it" factor.
I’m 63 and grew up watching old Bob Hope films here in the UK, particularly the Road Movies with Bing Crosby. The Lemon Drop Kid, The Cat and the Canary, and Son of Paleface with Jane Russel is a classic too. He became a bit of an anachronism later on, but at his peak he was a genuinely funny guy. Buttons and Bows 🙂
Great show Rick, Bob Hope was a Brit I went to his theatre that he paid for in a south London suburb called Eltham, I saw Carmen it was fantastic, the theatre is tiny but charming. Love the show . PEACE and LOVE to EVERYONE.
Interesting discussion and example about Bob Hope. I was discussing Bob Hope with a family member, we are 40 & 43, after this video and realized we were talking about Bob Newhart. It took me a minute to remember who Bob Hope was. I only know as much about him as Adam mentioned. My 17 year old niece has no idea who any of the artists from the 90s up to around 2005 are. You mention Green Day, Pearl Jam, or Soundgarden and she stares blankly. Play their songs for her and she just tunes out and says it's old people music. She only knows of Nirvana by name because of Kurt, but nothing about their music. She is only interested in hip hop hooks that she will sing all day.
Great conversation! What Bach, Beethoven, Parker and Miles mostly have in common is, that if you love the music, you are able to learn certain parts by heart and sing or hum along with them. Like ear training works. In some way, they’re like quality pop music. And I personally think that’s not the case -for most people- with the genius music of Keith Jarrett or say some great more modern classical composers, or later Coltrane records. Being capable of reading music or not: people live by ear first and foremost, I think. It’s just biology. They want to hum/sing/play along: be part of the piece of music inside. I myself played in a Zappa’s coverband for a few years. I can’t read music. But, I could sing/hum al the bass parts, because they were fairly ‘easy’ to learn by heart, because they’re just melodies you can learn. I put in the hours and played them. It just took me 1000 times longer than a bassist that can actually read, 😂. 🖖
So many great interviews, Rick. It's astounding!!!!! And so important for young and developing musicians all over the globe. In fact, you are really influencing the Music history with all this. I would dare to suggest some unique guitar heroes for the next episodes - Marc Byrd and Andrew Thompson of "Hammock", Mike Sullivan of "Russian Circles", Mark Kozelek of "Sun Kil Moon" and "Red House Painters", Annie Clark aka "St. Vincent".
I know that I now enjoy lots of music that I didn't like when I was younger, mainly because it's sounds better than it did back when I was listening thru bad equipment in my youth. I really enjoy Adam's videos with Mary Spender.
The saving grace is that an artist is also born twice, the second time occurring when they commit to their art. A person whose life is sweeping the street or working a cash register doesn't have that opportunity, unless they are also an artist or a lover.
I believe many very famous musicians have been non conformist school dropouts and hence they were autodidacts and learnt in a unique way and stood out as being unique artists.
What a great video! You should do an album of the week club, where you pick an artist and one of their albums, and you get to educate the audience, and we all get a chance to listen, learn, and appreciate!
At 23:00 Adam mentions the verse that plays before the AABA section. For example, in all things you are, the song originally started with the verse "Time and again I've longed for adventure, Something to make my heart beat the faster. What did I long for? I never really knew. Finding your love I've found my adventure, Touching your hand, my heart beats the faster, All that I want in all of this world is you." Where do I find the original recordings with these intro verses? Because I always find them very fascinating! I sometimes see them when I look up for the Broadway music sheet but otherwise idk how many other songs have these, and I really wanna find them
You might want to look for original broadway soundtracks, being that was very likely the source. So you'll have to find out what show the songs are from and work backwards. Certain singers might include them, Ella and Sinatra of course, but not always...
@@mannys1930 that is what I'm doing right now, but I was wondering if there is a way I can find all the songs with these verses that we don't play anymore... Kind of like a jazz real book but with original intro verses
My 12-year-old son loves Al Bowlly. Listens to him all the time. He loves big band music from the 30s and 40s. He started listening to them on his own.
Few years ago I was sitting having lunch in a cafe on Portobello Rd London with a mate of mine. Turned to look at someone coming in and it was Robert Plant no less. I’m 54 now and my mates similar age and we were both huge Zep fans and it wasn’t long after the o2 show which I was lucky to be at. Not only were we totally in awe but completely gobsmacked when he ordered a latte to go and sat at our table when he was waiting ! Both of us couldn’t believe it and were reduced to a couple of gibbering idiots. But what was surprising ,was that after he left a few people asked us who he was ...one of the most iconic rockstars of all time and here were people in their 20s who didn’t have a clue who he was.
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.

This is the equivalent of Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt talking NASCAR, Joe Montana and Joe Namath talking football, LeBron James and Michael Jordan talking basketball and Gordon Ramsay Emeril Lagassé talking food (I was tempted to list like a hundred more, but you get my point) The best, most accomplished and knowledgeable names in their respective fields. This is magic!
Too short this interview! A friend of mine said something about how he sees Adam Neely, he said he sees Adam talking about music the same way he watched Carl Sagan talking about the nature. I never thought about that, but I think it makes sense. Love these guys.
Love your interviews! You think you're ever going to get PETER GABRIEL on!? Would love to hear some of the breakdowns and how he puts his tracks together. I've always been mesmerized by how he can make odd time sigs and unusual melodies part of the public conscious!
Similar to memes, crossword puzzles a way that certain words are retained in popular consciousness (maybe not as popular nowadays) past the time they would naturally disappear. There's a meta-value, based on the pattern of letters, that exists apart from the inherent meaning, that is advantaged in crossword grids and is retained.
Gentlemen: as always a pleasure to see you both together. Please note that aural is not pronounced as oral but rather as “OW-rul” in Britain assigning to the A and U their own sound as one would do in Italian and Spanish for example. Otherwise it does cause unnecessary confusion between the two. Hope that helps!
Adam Neely really does refer his fans to some awesome places, it's how I found both you and Sevish on youtube.
This entire concept breaks my heart. So many greats that will be forgotten…And then there’s the greats that were never known…
Bob Hope was perhaps the funniest and most witty to ever do it!!
Great topic guys.
PS. I think certain bands will be reborn and studied for hundred of years, again and again…

Our time will pass. People will find, create, appreciate and fall in love with their own great artforms, and keep only whatever from our time still speaks to them.
Bob Hope didn’t write his own jokes. We all remember Chaplin
Most modern RUclipsrs have a PHD in Google and Wikipedia. But when someone truly UNDERSTANDS AND APPRECIATES their subject matter, they have the tools required to COMMUNICATE it effectively and enjoyably. (Communication is its own skill, but without those other two fundamental elements, it's infotainment.)
You are totally on point. My chemistry professor, when I was working on my Masters in education, once told me that most can get a degree in education, but only a small percentage are good teachers. They have the "it" factor.
I’m 63 and grew up watching old Bob Hope films here in the UK, particularly the Road Movies with Bing Crosby. The Lemon Drop Kid, The Cat and the Canary, and Son of Paleface with Jane Russel is a classic too. He became a bit of an anachronism later on, but at his peak he was a genuinely funny guy. Buttons and Bows 🙂
Aged 49 here...same. BBC's Sunday afternoon film.
Great show Rick, Bob Hope was a Brit I went to his theatre that he paid for in a south London suburb called Eltham, I saw Carmen it was fantastic, the theatre is tiny but charming. Love the show . PEACE and LOVE to EVERYONE.
two greats in a single setting...holy mackerel!!!!!!!!!
Interesting discussion and example about Bob Hope. I was discussing Bob Hope with a family member, we are 40 & 43, after this video and realized we were talking about Bob Newhart. It took me a minute to remember who Bob Hope was. I only know as much about him as Adam mentioned. My 17 year old niece has no idea who any of the artists from the 90s up to around 2005 are. You mention Green Day, Pearl Jam, or Soundgarden and she stares blankly. Play their songs for her and she just tunes out and says it's old people music. She only knows of Nirvana by name because of Kurt, but nothing about their music. She is only interested in hip hop hooks that she will sing all day.
Great conversation!
What Bach, Beethoven, Parker and Miles mostly have in common is, that if you love the music, you are able to learn certain parts by heart and sing or hum along with them. Like ear training works. In some way, they’re like quality pop music.
And I personally think that’s not the case -for most people- with the genius music of Keith Jarrett or say some great more modern classical composers, or later Coltrane records.
Being capable of reading music or not: people live by ear first and foremost, I think. It’s just biology. They want to hum/sing/play along: be part of the piece of music inside.
I myself played in a Zappa’s coverband for a few years. I can’t read music. But, I could sing/hum al the bass parts, because they were fairly ‘easy’ to learn by heart, because they’re just melodies you can learn. I put in the hours and played them. It just took me 1000 times longer than a bassist that can actually read, 😂.

So many great interviews, Rick. It's astounding!!!!! And so important for young and developing musicians all over the globe. In fact, you are really influencing the Music history with all this. I would dare to suggest some unique guitar heroes for the next episodes - Marc Byrd and Andrew Thompson of "Hammock", Mike Sullivan of "Russian Circles", Mark Kozelek of "Sun Kil Moon" and "Red House Painters", Annie Clark aka "St. Vincent".
I know that I now enjoy lots of music that I didn't like when I was younger, mainly because it's sounds better than it did back when I was listening thru bad equipment in my youth.
I really enjoy Adam's videos with Mary Spender.
The saving grace is that an artist is also born twice, the second time occurring when they commit to their art. A person whose life is sweeping the street or working a cash register doesn't have that opportunity, unless they are also an artist or a lover.
Nice shout out to Knowing Better! Anyway, this was a very fun sit-down!
I believe many very famous musicians have been non conformist school dropouts and hence they were autodidacts and learnt in a unique way and stood out as being unique artists.
Knowing Better is top notch RUclips content. Good shout out.
What a great video! You should do an album of the week club, where you pick an artist and one of their albums, and you get to educate the audience, and we all get a chance to listen, learn, and appreciate!
I'm from the "Neely boost" ! Follow your channel since!
Classic rick with his Canadian leather👍 great interview 🎸
This was perfect. Just get together and talk. We will happily listen!❤
I think of Red Skelton like you think of Bob Hope. Bob Hope's Shtick is vivid in my mind.
Awesome!!!
Wow what an interview!
Always love it when you guys get together!
Benny Goodman was huge in his time and I would suggest his influence is felt through the generation that directly followed him.
For me Adam's video on jazz reharmonization maybe my favorite music theory video of all time. I got so much out of that video.
Adam is a superstar.
At 23:00 Adam mentions the verse that plays before the AABA section. For example, in all things you are, the song originally started with the verse
"Time and again I've longed for adventure,
Something to make my heart beat the faster.
What did I long for? I never really knew.
Finding your love I've found my adventure,
Touching your hand, my heart beats the faster,
All that I want in all of this world is you."
Where do I find the original recordings with these intro verses? Because I always find them very fascinating! I sometimes see them when I look up for the Broadway music sheet but otherwise idk how many other songs have these, and I really wanna find them
You might want to look for original broadway soundtracks, being that was very likely the source. So you'll have to find out what show the songs are from and work backwards. Certain singers might include them, Ella and Sinatra of course, but not always...
@@mannys1930 that is what I'm doing right now, but I was wondering if there is a way I can find all the songs with these verses that we don't play anymore... Kind of like a jazz real book but with original intro verses
Amazing vid, fellas. Thank yeee!
My two fave music youtubers
My 12-year-old son loves Al Bowlly. Listens to him all the time. He loves big band music from the 30s and 40s. He started listening to them on his own.
Yeah. Knew of Adam's stuff before Rick's. But this is the Musical Collab we've been waiting to see.
Few years ago I was sitting having lunch in a cafe on Portobello Rd London with a mate of mine. Turned to look at someone coming in and it was Robert Plant no less. I’m 54 now and my mates similar age and we were both huge Zep fans and it wasn’t long after the o2 show which I was lucky to be at. Not only were we totally in awe but completely gobsmacked when he ordered a latte to go and sat at our table when he was waiting ! Both of us couldn’t believe it and were reduced to a couple of gibbering idiots. But what was surprising ,was that after he left a few people asked us who he was ...one of the most iconic rockstars of all time and here were people in their 20s who didn’t have a clue who he was.
My favorite youtube musicians are back for some chat, glad to hear it out! :)
I just checked out his band Sungazer and I’m now a fan!
Keep going! Regards from Poland.
Amazing!! What a great surprise to see this on my feed 😁 You are both so inspiring!
Yup! I hit play immediately when it popped up.
