The amount of music talent and experience in this man is staggering. I am a guitar player with 35 years in the bag and I am both humbled and stunned when I watch you talk about music. I could not teach you a single thing but you could teach me for decades. You are such a legend Rick. NEVER stop doing this.
"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!
All of the lives you've touched. Man you've built an amazing legacy. Props.
"In the 80's, I was in a Jazz coma"
Man, that is one hell of a quote
yeah. Loved that!!
Ahhh. I remember Blockbuster Music!
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 🌎
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.
I'm always so impressed when Rick seems to effortlessly bang out songs I could NEVER learn to play. It's staggering to a guy like me who doesn't read music. I don't read, but I know things about music, being a player and a writer. You naturally learn things whether you mean to or not, as long as you're paying attention. So even though I don't read, I understand how difficult some of the things he does so effortlessly really are. I'm constantly amazed with him. "Josie" really takes the cake!
HA - watched the first minute and thought the same. I'm so intimidated by Steely Dan songs, I don't know where to start. Would love to play that intro properly!
Agreed. Learning by ear is such a challenge, and Rick makes it look easy. I'm entirely self-taught. All I had starting out was two chord books and the free time that coincides with being a teenager. I figured out most songs by ear and occasionally through tabs on the internet, and I would often discover upon watching a concert DVD of the original artist that I was on the wrong end of the fretboard entirely even though I was playing the "right" notes. I only had a few concert DVDs, so RUclips was a revelation when it became available. I have a lot of respect for people who have the ear to not only get the notes right, but also get the voicing right without visual context.
@@StephVanLinden The thing about music is that once you learn the basics of music, and you are learning about it, it will then start building up a memory bank in your mind, that will help you so much more later when you are advancing and getting deeper into how these Notes on the piano, keyboard, etc., go So Far into infinity probably, and they are always related back to that keyboard...
It all came mostly from there... Yes, there were string instruments Centuries, Eons, ago too, and they are so great for learning too, but when the keyboard came, then the real Masters of Classical music were there and there is where much more began...
But, getting those classes into how musical notes are made, how to eventually sight read them, and play them, and this alone will open up the entire world of music notes and how they always fit together when placed properly, will happen...
God Bless you and yours !!!
Hi Larry. I taught myself to play/read 22 years ago. I’ve had years of heavy practicing, some where I didn’t have the time. The important thing is to recognize your weaknesses and overcome them. If you can’t read music, sit down and learn. It may look like an alien language, but eventually (much like English) you’ll look at the page one day and everything will click together. You can do it: 12 year-old band students learn how every year. All the internet resources available now should make it much easier. Hope this helps!
A true renaissance man. A fountain of experience and passion- I’m truly grateful for all your hard work here. Thank you pal!
More of these "Story of Rick's Life" videos please :) I'm really enjoying hearing about what got you to where you are today.
Of all the RUclipsrs that have music content I think Rick does it the most seamless, and that undoubtedly comes from having to explain this stuff to newbies for so long. I don't always understand what he's saying but its fun hearing about the depths that music can get to.
I can''t read a note of music, I cannot make my fingers do what they need to in order to play guitar properly but I LOVE listening to you nerd out about the music that I love. Don't think I'll ever get tired of it.
Great as always Rick! Cheers from Sweden!
Dude, wisdom paired with the humility and respect you keep showing towards the things you present and teach is true value. keep it up.
I’m floored at your wealth of knowledge of songs, parts etc but what is even greater I feel is your love and enthusiasm for music. Thankyou!!
You deserve all the success you’ve worked hard for and for so much joy to the world through your creativity.
I love to hear about the hard yet enjoyable work in your journey. You deserve every bit of success in your life. This video literally made me tear up.
You’re a great RUclipsr, teacher & musician, IMO. Thank you for sharing your knowledge & experience. By enlightening subjects, inviting different types of musicians, from different styles of music to your show- you’re giving us an educational & entertaining experience, with a nice atmosphere- & good vibes. 👏
Thank you for sharing this with us 🙏😃
God bless you, brother. Because of your good hearted, generous and giving nature you're one of the people in my life who regularly help to restore my faith in humanity. You're a good egg, Rick Beato and profoundly beloved teacher/brother of this world to me an so many others. wishing limitless peace, love, joy and creativity to you.
Great story. All of your stories are great and I can relate to so much in them. Thnx for what you do Rick.
This is so valuable Rick! As a fellow guitar teacher I can't thank you enough!!!
Rick, thank god you’re here with us
I’m so appreciative of you and your channel
Best wishes always
Las Vegas Craig
I’m going to share this video all over
Bravo 👏🏻
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
5star video again
What a great story Rick thank you for sharing it, to know your knowledge was aquired through working very hard as a guitar teacher in a shop!
Rick, you are a true treasure. Thank you for such a wonderful and mind-expanding channel. I was delighted to discover you are a fellow Atlantan! You surely make an already great city that much better.
Mr. Beato, I just wanna say thank you! To see your joy, passion and integrity in every single video you do lifts my soul. Why? Simply because you're someone who makes music for the right reasons, and of course, you excel at it! The world needs more people like you!
We all appreciate your wealth of knowledge and I for one hope you always put out content. Thank you so much for taking the time to share with us.
Great video ! I love how you always feed your musical inspiration with your life experiences. It might sound obvious but the way you tell it reminds us how any moment can have a significant impact on ourselves later.
As a guitar teacher myself I live hearing this. It's true I know soooo many songs. I know you talk about it from time to time but I'd love to hear more about your guitar teaching, Rick. And any tips and words of wisdom. Yeah an episode on guitar lessons would be great. For teachers and students alike
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
Your knowledge is, of course, why so many of us love your channel, but it's that patented Rick Beato enthusiasm and excitement for the music that we just can't get enough. Every time I hear "Ohhhh", it makes me stretch, lean in, want more. I've heard most of these songs for 30 or 40 years, but now...Ohhhh, they're brand new because of you. Thank you Rick, for your shared knowledge, but mostly for the shared love of the music.
Thank you so much for sharing-you’re being real, and that’s also appreciated.
The foundation for all the insight into songs makes so much more sense when you describe helping folks learn.
My teaching career also has opened up great opportunities to learn and build lifelong friendships. Great video as always.
You are a unique and valuable gem 💎 in the world of music. You are a great thought leader and I know I am not alone in my gratitude for all of your dedication to music.
Rick. Your stories are brilliant. Thank you.
Man, this channel is pure gold! From Brazil.
It never ceases to amaze me how incredible this channel is.
... and just like that, this is one of my favorite videos of yours - and I love just about all your videos!!! It's so important for people to hear and understand the level of dedication and the amount of focus and effort, sustained over years and years and years, for people to achieve mastery!!! Thank you!!! This video is the antidote to all the noise people are fed about "shortcuts." For things of real value, like music, the road is long. I appreciate you Rick!
We are so lucky you are so willing to share all your knowledge with us! Thank you!
Glad it worked out for all of us. Not just yourself but we gained from your experience. You are a fine teacher!
Wow very fascinating story, teaching all those students gave you such a wealth of knowledge. Very cool Rick🎸
Great to hear how you put the work in, to become you, so awesome that you’re archiving this knowledge on RUclips
Hard work and dedication always pays off, not to mention the thousands of people you help everyday in present time. Thanx Rick.
You're the reason why I improved on my guitar skills, just watching you and your mini free lessons in youtube really improved not just skills but taste in music. Thank you
I admire and respect you very much, not just for your knowldge base, but more because you love to share your knowldge. Thank You
It’s amazing how Rick can listen to a song and know what notes, chords and scale a song or vocal is in. The best I really got was my ear was trained decently to my fingers for guitar meaning if my brain was looking for a certain note my fingers would automatically find the note on the guitar, I couldn’t tell you what note it was unless u gave me a minute to look where my fingers were it was just kinda playing by feel but man it would be cool to know everything like Rick.
Great summary of your inspiring life! Big respect! You paid your dues, and inspired a lot of upcoming musicians along the way! 👍🏼👍🏼
Those 10,000 lessons you've given Rhett are really starting show!
Love your life stories Rick, thank you for sharing them and your knowledge of music.
Very insightful to hear how one area of learning can influence another in the field. This has helped inspire me to get serious about learning to play bass.
Apart from good material, you are also a great storyteller.
Keep on rocking my friend.
So cool to hear you break it down like that! You’re story is incredible!
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.
You are Really A Pleasure to have here as an Awesome Source of Knowledge and the Resulting Level of Inspiration is like… tantamount to filling up one’s Guitar Journey… Gratitude in Spades
Great context for a regular viewer of your incredible channel!
A bad band teacher almost snuffed out my musical flame in 5th grade. Maybe it was tough love, but I did not respond well to the discouraging taunting, teasing, bullying he gave me. The only reason I stuck with it was that my folks had paid $100 for my alto sax and I felt guilty over the money they had invested in me.
PS: Eventually I learned enough basic music theory to teach players in every band I’ve been in, teach myself intermediate guitar, pick up flute, clarinet, keys. And I still have my sax.
I totally agree with the concept that nothing makes you learn a given subject better than after your first attempt at teaching it! I have a revised take on an old (and somewhat incorrect) axiom--which applies here...and it goes like this:
"Those who can, DO. Those who can, and actually explain what they do, TEACH. Those who CAN'T...HECKLE!"
Oh how we just love you Rick. I could watch your instruction all day.
I'm so glad you wound up here and so glad I discovered your channel. Sometimes you make the average day much better.
Mate you're amazing! It's so rare for someone to be a great musician with feel and great educator at the same time.
Great video! I remember when we met you were still teaching guitar, but I never saw you write upside down - crazy! I played a lot of dive bars and hotel lounges in cover bands for a few years after highschool covering whatever was in the top 10 each week. I didn't realize at the time how much that would prepare me for my career.
It's great to hear that accumulation of experience and knowledge--sheer credibility. And you mentioned Marty Schwartz, he's taught me many songs via RUclips!🎸
I'm glad you have a channel now. I have truly enjoyed it.
I play at several instruments, lost the passion to even play anything now. But I'm glad you didn't. The world needs good teachers , we sure don't want to loose the knowledge and experience that you have to keep it going for future generations
I can really relate to these "personal (hi)story" videos, Rick.
I'm about you're age, and I, too, grew up in "upstate" NY, became a Professor with Tenure, then things went South--both Literally and Figuratively.
Anyway, I'm glad to see that you finally "landed on your feet". 😊
Good luck and best wishes for your continued success!
You made a lot of people very happy . Hope you never stop
“Jazz Coma” would be a good band name…
This is one of my favorite videos. Most of us who took lessons from a pro can relate well to the charts, the grind, and the reward of serious guitar lessons. Many of us went on to share the knowledge and teach others. My teacher Don Gauck who studied jazz at CCM was instrumental in my earlier years of more advanced lessons, but it all started with Zeppelin, Hendrix, Beatles, and standards.
I’m in my first 100 hours of classical piano lessons (been playing guitar for about 20 yrs but never learned formally). Hand independence and keeping tempo (while sight reading) is brutal.
Rick, could you make a video about your experiences in different states you've worked in and how and why you settled where you are, and where you feel are today's best areas for musicians to go and be noticed. Your knowledge is an inspiration.
Until recently I somehow mostly thought of your channel as good for stories about musicians, opinions on the business, etc.
The recent Steely Dan vid really impressed me with your technical knowledge, but especially the ease with which you explained pretty complex stuff. I'd never have even a fraction of that insight left to my own knowledge.
I'd love to hear a similar take on some of the early stuff from Katy Lied, Pretzel Logic, etc.
He's done two other "What Makes This Song Great" episodes on Steely Dan. Ep. 3 Kid Charlemagne and ep. 35 Don't Take Me Alive. He also did a video about Steve Gadd's drum solo on Aja.
Love the video as always Rick. I hope those students know how lucky they were to have you as a teacher
Pretty much the same happened to me... The only difference is, music has never been a job for me, it's all a hobby. And I made a series on my channel similar to "What Makes This Song Great", where I teach Mark Knopfler's songs. In fact, I already covered 80 of his songs. And my story was, from when I was 15 and to this day I just learn every single song that I love on a guitar. And developed my ear from absolute garbage to okay. No perfect pitch, no hardcore theory, no nothing, just listening and playing. A lot!
Your channel is awesome, I've been following it since the beginning. Thank you!
@Magnetical999 I'm not a native English speaker so I'M SO SORRY for this little mistake.
@@DavidFlorez Wow, thank you! Made my day.
@@NickNicometi Yeah, I actually agree. Mark's music seems boring to a lot of people, though I think beauty is in the eye of the beholder. While yes, a lot of his songs are slow and moody, they are strong songs. I'd take a boring strong song over a flashy but lousy song every time.
I love Knopfler's playing, so I'm subscribing!
So glad I found your channel! You’re awesome Rick 💯✌️
Amazing content as always, would love a face to face lesson from the master! Thank you Rick, Top Man!
Rick....Steve Vai compliments to you really said it all...you are amazing !
Right on Rick, I'm over 40 students a week myself now. Great to hear this from you. 👍
Thanx Sensei. ..Ive gotten a lot better cuz yur here! Luv ya man!
Excellent insight as to how Rick got to where he is now. I have a friend who is an excellent player, helped me on many recordings, almost was main guitarist with Chick Cores. Has many CDs out. He says "I'm a player that teaches" "Rick is a teacher that plays". I think Rick excels at both.
You always got cool stories Rick. I learned the most learning covers.
I'm still stuck on your "revealing" Seal and his best song. That album was made in '94. Your helping him! How nice. Today I listened and relistened to it.
That was great. Especially the bit about writing your notes out upside down.
I haven't picked up my guitar in a very long time but you've inspired me to pick it up again and I just wanted to say thank you sir! You're knowledge of music theory is truly a gift!
Amazing insight, Thank you!
I'm 49 and I disconvered your channel about 2 years ago. You've reignited my passion for music, and playing guitar (still a noodler, but I love the sounds that I make). I don't know what else to say other than I can't thank you enough.
Fascinating !! I love the real life stories you tell.
Cool to get some more background info. You rock, Rick!
Hello Rick, there is a singer here in Australia called Sarah Blasko, who when in high school was told by a music teacher that she didn't have a musical bone in her body. These days, she writes music and has 5 aria nominated albums to her name.
Sweet, sweet vengeance
I love her! her music is awesome!
Same was said to Shakira by her school teacher and by God he was right !
@@kippsguitar6539 But she make a man wanna speak Spanish.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I appreciate it.
Love this. Great stuff as always, Rick.
You can write upside down? What the heck? Rick, you are constantly flooring me with some additional info/ability that is kind of mind blowing haha. Great hearing these stories about your history.
Respect man. I grew up without internet so, every song I learned was by ear. Then I’d teach my friends the songs. It helps to this day. I can hear something and just about figure it out.
Awesome video Rick. It was very interesting to hear how you got started.
Man, I lived in Atlanta during those years and not far from Buckhead. I was also learning guitar during that period and sure wish I had known about your guitar lessons.
I always learn things I would have never thought about when listening to Rick , he is an amazing musician , mind you I have been playing guitar for 30 years and also teach alittle bit too but I am always learning from Rick man pure genius
Thankyou for sharing your story.
You're just amazing, sir. So much talent. Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge, and across so many genres. It blows my mind, tbh.
Some of the more complex stuff might go over my head, but that's the beauty of being able to rewind and listen again. Sometimes it even sinks in. 😂 Anyway, I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate you, your dedication, your work, and your heart. ❤️
Rick I don't know a thing about playing music I'm 65 and love music and your channel keep up the awesome work
You're a genius! Period. I am a scientist and I admire your knowledge in a topic with which I am only vaguely familiar but long to know more. Fascinating!
You're a scientist.
Dear god he's already narcissistic enough...
@@valebliz no u
@@valebliz sorry, I dont see the narcissism. I see talent, gifts, and skills.
I see science.
I appreciate your insight and drive!
I can't miss an episode Rick
Great video
thank you for sharing your knowledge
