    I recently bought the Beato Book, and I was going through it the other day. And I thought, "This has all the theory anyone could ever need, but I wish this came with a workbook that would help me with how to practice and apply all this."
    Then I realized that Rick's RUclips videos ARE the workbook for the Beato Book! Great stuff, Rick!

Bernstein studied at Harvard, Beato at Ithaca, Bernstein was the director of the New York philharmonic, Beato is a successfully RUclipsr, Bernstein won eight Grammys, ... and has a 3-foot-long Wikipedia page.

I also like that Rick seems like a down to earth guy; he’s not trying to make things confusing to show how much he knows or anything like that (although he obviously knows a lot).

    When you tell people it’s “simple if you just memorize it”. Would be helpful if you would talk about the process of memorizing using specific techniques specific to this modal exercise.

      The maj scale has 7 modes. And 7 box positions.
      Each box scale is the mode begining.
      Learn 7 positions of the maj scale, they always go one after another.
      If you learn the 7 positions you have therefore learned all major scales, all minor scales, all modes.
      7 boxes, 7 positions, and you then know all modes too lol

      MrLock... i am a NP Practitione. We teach. I hope this will help period There are seven main learning styles period there is the visual and spatial learner they prefer learning things by observing them period there are auditory or Aural learners. There are verbal Learners. There are physical and kinetic learners who learn by touching and feeling things. There are logical mathematical Learners. There are social and interpersonal learners. There are solitary an interpersonal Learners who work by themselves best. Rick may be able to distinguish your learning style and provide information based upon his observations of you. However and therefore it is imperative that you decide what type of learner you are. I for instance ma read-write learner where after I read it I write it down many times and I immediately retain about 80% of what I've written. It's your job to find out what type of learner you are. Those can be summed up as the main four types which are visual, auditory, reading and writing, and kinesthetic. I have used every single version of learning style available to teach or train a patient and how to manage their own chronic diseases and I also used all four types of those over the last 18 years of college before becoming a doctor.
      I mostly used tactile and read write in music, jimi, robin, and winter, with a lot of hoodoo magic lol. Best of luck

    c) yet the music was brilliant
    d) production standards were stunning.
    Spool forward to today:
    a) people are giving away genius-level musical tips FOR FREE on RUclips
    b) music technology is cheap and so advanced you can make a tune on your phone
    c) melody has almost completely died
    d) production standards have imploded.

    Man, I love how you mentioned the song by Keith Jarrett and I paused the video saying, "Keith Jarrett song? I'm sold, lets go!" to go listen to it. When I came back to the video, I hear you saying, "Pause the video, go and listen to this." Definitely going to inspire a lot of people who've never heard of him before. His version of "When You Wish Upon a Star" is what really opened my hears and imagination to how much is possible with music. It's like he takes you into the clouds with his playing.

    Awesome! You were born to Teach, Rick, bravissimo! There may be quicker methods, like those saying the modes don't matter anymore it's really just minor and major etc..
    But a composition's context can take such rapid twisturns & quickly make listeners mood change, I think modes are relevant as ever.. They make mapping songs more interesting due their constaints, unlike it being wide open. Mk-Sns? Teaching also could get a lot more complicated, unnecessarily. Back up to my original statement, you seem to pick just the right balance between those two. I don't know about everybody, but I, and I'm sure a majority of watchers, appreciate the hell out of it!

    Hello from Montréal Rick! I'm a singer/songwriter with approx. Two hundred original songs both in French & English (Since I'm a French-Canadian). I started writing songs at 16 years old and started playing guitar at 14 & piano at 18. Thing is, I learned to play by ear since I had no friends or family members that played music. My main instrument has always been my voice and at that time ''karaoke'' didn't exist as well as the Internet (lol) so I started guitar so I could accompany myself and impress the ladies as well (lol). I wrote my first album some time ago (the songs are on my channel). I've had my YT channel for a long time now with lots of covers and originals. I've never had any singing lessons or any music lessons whatsoever and with time over the years, I've started to open my horizon and became curious about the craft of songwriting and music knowledge from other artists or musicians to enhance my own experience with my craft. I've discovered your channel a few years back and man, I really owe you so much Rick, your obvious passion and vision of the music universe is totally enlightening for me, you are one in a kind music teacher, music theory mentor for me. You're helping me so much and I wanted to thank you sincerely for everything Rick! Btw, we have the same musical mentor, Pat Metheny! While most people were into Michael Jackson and other pop icons, at 12 years old I was listening to Pat Metheny Group in my walkman each morning on my way to school! Your interview with Pat was so incredibly awesome and captivating! No wonder why I relate a lot to you and Pat when it comes to music! You're awesome Rick & keep doing what you do, you are helping a lot of people and future musicians more than you think! Cheers 🙏🏼✌🏼🖐🏼🎁

    It's Beast mode. It's excellent for metal but most often used in punk music.

I've heard about chord progressions, for example. I don't know the definition of the concept. I think I know the concept of chord but, regarding chord progressions, I only know that the sequence of chords that might compose melodies get less linear and more colourful, but I hope I can get a grasp of It in your book bundle.

    @williamyelverton-music7072 3 года назад

    Modes in few sentences: A (major scale) mode is...The major scale given context by the accompaniment (chords or bass). 3 scales - major and 'like major': ionian, lydian, mixolydian. 4 scales - minor and 'like minor': aeolian, phrygian, dorian, and locrian. Each 'like major' and 'like minor' has a characteristic note that differentiates it from the major or minor. Every 'characteristic note' of a mode is one of the notes of the tritone in the scale (key of C - characteristic note is either B or F, or both in locrian). That's what you need to know. Not that hard. Once scale to learn and the characteristic notes.

    You may have done this already, but I'm asking this question as I'm reading. Can you suggest a piece or two that are in lydian flat 6?

    Can I ask a really dumb question? Is a mode the same as a scale? Why do videos talk about modes and scales like they are the same thing? I think that's what confuses a lot of people?

    I've always felt modes were just other keys that used accidentals and not a key signature. You think there's any merit in that?
