Let me guess...he's both "underrated" and a "national treasure"...? Right? ...there..got the cliche, pseudo-compliments out of the way for everyone else...
@buckhorncortez no thanks.... don't guess, he's rated very highly and is a world treasure.....! The guy is an educator first and foremost, his love for music is infectious, he's also got skills, non more so than being able to articulate his passion, document, record and build an amazing archive the hopefully will last for many generations. Rick Beato is a genius in my eyes, and there's not enough plaudits for the guy
For me the brightest star of the internet. And so generous with it. It's fun to see Rick being interviewed for a change. He look a little embarrassed, (or is that bashful?) to be on that side of the microphone! I hope he continues educating, appreciating and conversing for many years to come. One's sixties is an ideal time to amp life up, because you know your stuff. Rick does anyway.
Music to me was gone. Forgotten. Then I heard about a Rick Beato RUclips thingy from an old buddy. I had since bought 3 acoustic guitars, and 2 electrics. I am one of your most “rabid” fans, Rick. One of the best things about music that happened to our country, and the world.
Rick is an American Treasure! We need to get every musician available to him for interviews, like Sir Paul McCartney (for instance) and so many of those that have shaped our world of music. Congrats Rick!
When I found Rick's Channel 5 years ago. I was like wait? A music producer that talks about music with the same passion I have for music, and art. And very engaging and intelligent. Seeing that child like wonder in His What Makes This Song Great series. Then you started to see the artists responding by doing interviews with him. It is so awesome to feel like this guy is an intermediary to all these artists for me. Thanks Rick for taking us on this journey with you.
I watched the George Benson interview, I never realised how brilliant and beautifully talented genuine man he is, a brilliant interview For a couple of years, I have watched most of Ricks interviews, like Tommy Emanuel, Joe Robinson, But the George Benson interview tops them all Definitely the best interview I have seen in 50 years, So much love and respect between both Rick and George, bringing tears to my eyes
Rick is the man! I’ve been subscribed to his RUclips channels since he had 40k subs. He is such an inspiration on so many levels, as a musician, a producer and engineer, teacher and curator of quality music. I bought his Beato Book and had it printed on extra quality thick paper and bound as a wish and gift from my wife for Christmas. With 200€ it’s the most expensive book I own 😂. Rick, you are a treasure to us musicians and engineers and in general lovers of music. I very much appreciate your channel being music only, no politics, no bs. May god bless you and give you an extra long and healthy life. And congratulations, you deserve every bit of success, because you worked very hard for it and because you make each of us a better musician! ✌🏼
Rick Beato channel is one of those channels that you never get tired of watching and learning, it happens to be that his favorite 70s bands are my favorite as well so that is great.. The triple interviews of the Police band members, Frampton, Anderson, etc, all of them were fantastic, only a musician can talk to musicians of such caliber as he does! Regards from Costa Rica!
Since i first saw his youtube channel and that was like 8 years ago and immediatly i was hoocked this guy knew evrything that i was looking for rick brought back the essence the history of music 1st hand this man is a legend from all walks of life young and old came togetherr to hear our music heroes and idols i terviewed by him that we onced wish for as a kid and a fan i will never stop supporting rick and spread his teachings no mattter how far l am i in this little province in the philippines rick you brought back to life what music realy is and that i cant be taken by anyone your the hero ans you are the idol. God speed rick dont stop and continue to spread the knowledge.❤❤❤❤ .
A great interview. Congratulations Rick, well deserving to be in Rochester Music Hall of Fame. Maybe the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame will create a new category - 'Music Educator to the Masses'. I vote you. Thank you, Rick Beato. Hey, party hard and enjoy. 🤣
Teacher yes, but ..... No mention of Rick ... as a VIRTUOSO musician on MULTIPLE INSTRUMENTS? FEW musicians reach Rick's level. We DREAM of a Rick Beato solo RECORD ! How AMAZING would THAT be?
It is now official ... Rick Beato is the GOAT! Nice discussion with Rick. Interesting and informative ... as always. Congrats for your induction into the RMHOF!
I so proud of Rick and the work he does to spreading his knowledge. Funny he brings up Stairway and his son because he recently did a video of how his son figured out the note that everyone plays wrong in the outro solo.
A very cool area. Fairport is a Erie canal town. Fingerlakes and the beginning of wine country are about 35 minutes away. jazz festival is 2 weeks in july.
Wonderful interview Adam. As a Fairport grad (and Northside student) I can recall having Ms. Malm for music too! Congrats to Rick on his induction to the RMHF!!
I am not a player, musician. My great appreciation for the form brought me to Beato. And even more than that he reminded me of a Music Teacher, Mr. Boys, at my old school that encouraged me to sing.
Rick you absolutely rock! I grew up in Rochester around the same time as you and there were so many good musicians and live music everywhere…still true today although sadly fewer live music venues. Thanks for all you do!!
Rick Beato RUclips channel is a favorite. I subscribe to the channel and always watch. My favorites are the trip to Germany for Bach Celebration, all interviews, and theory lessons. Thank you, Rick.😊
Love you brother, Rick, thanks for helping me on a sometimes bumpy music road, you have added greatly to my advancement, pleasure and musical appreciation. You’ve been a bright light in my journey……
Met Rick at NAMM couple years ago. He paused our fandom approach and asked our names and flipped the script wanting to know more about us. A true gentleman and his fame hasn’t gone to his head, happy for his success and grateful to his approach in teaching and keeping music more alive today. I’m definitely benefitting. Thank you Mr. Beato. Good interview.
Surprisingly good interview for a news station. In most cases these broadcasters know next to nothing about their subjects. Especially musicians. Congrats to Rick!
His channel is great! I love music, I’m a drummer and guitar player and really enjoy how be breaks down music. His interviews are always interesting because he asks great questions that other musicians want to know. I started watching him many years ago and his infectious passion for guitar inspired me to pick up and start playing guitar at the ripe old age of 50. I keep hoping someday he’ll get to interview McCartney, Clapton, and Gilmore before he retires. Congrats on your success and thank you for your contribution to music.
I could see Rick doing this 30 years ago, in a class room, as a professor and still bringing interesting musicians into the classroom to be interviewed. They're just aren't that many people that could do this in the way that he does. He is simply the best at this thing!
I think what Rick says at 15:35 in this video says it all when responding to one of Adam's questions. "Well, I sit in amazement at it..." (meaning the incredible natural talent some musicians have when creating music). Despite all of Rick's talent and experience (which is massive), we feel his genuine amazement, appreciation, and enjoyment of all the music and musicians he shares with us through his videos. I've always felt like I'm sitting in the same room with Rick while he shares his thoughts, as a fellow music lover...and friend. We all appreciate how genuine Rick is. Thank you, Rick...the recognition is well deserved. And, Adam, what a great interview! Thank you.
I hope he's opening the minds of youth to sounds of the past. I had a great influence in my parents that helped me realize how important it was to keep my ears open to all eras of music.
There will certainly be more honors and recognition to come. Excellent teacher and communicator. Rick's stand-out -interviews- _conversations_ with legendary figures will go on to become important historic documents of our time.
Rick, I am so happy to see you shining, seen, and heard. I am so proud of your accomplishments and grateful for your sharing your wit and wisdom with the rest of us.
Rick's comments on Rochester were spot on. My wife and I had the benefit of living in Fairport and Canandaigua for a few years due to corporate relocations and loved every minute of it. The people were incredible...we've been in Boston since 1995 and we often joke about moving back there when we retire. Love Rick!
I watch Rick on his RUclips channel, but didn't know he had won an award! His interviews & conversations with legends & new talent are anything but puff pieces or dry theory. His passion for both the artistic side & technical side of good music are self-evident. And, of course, his "old-man-shouts at clouds" rants about contemporary songs are wonderfully epic! 🇨🇦🇺🇲
Developing Muscle Memory is the discipline for everything we'd like to do. It takes practice, as teachers will tell you, to learn to write and read, to play any sport, fly your own airplane, in short everything we need to think and do. Congratulations to Rick, and thanks to Adam and News 8 WROC for this interview. Thanks to Gibson for working with Rick to "pay it forward" to the next generations of musicians. - A fan of RickBeato and RickBeato2 channels (and more)...
Rick, thank you for all you do. I enjoy you channel because it's unique, educational,and it inspires music which is culturally part of all of humanity's existence. No one has a channel like yours. You've made your own stamp in the Rock-'n'-roll hall of fame RUclipsrs.
Folk's don't realise the importance of the work Rick is doing, one of life's greats. The world needs more Rick Beatos 🙏 ❤️
Let me guess...he's both "underrated" and a "national treasure"...? Right? ...there..got the cliche, pseudo-compliments out of the way for everyone else...
I agreed.People will be studying his videos and interviews a long time from now.
@buckhorncortez no thanks.... don't guess, he's rated very highly and is a world treasure.....! The guy is an educator first and foremost, his love for music is infectious, he's also got skills, non more so than being able to articulate his passion, document, record and build an amazing archive the hopefully will last for many generations. Rick Beato is a genius in my eyes, and there's not enough plaudits for the guy
I concur 100%
Are you f'ing people serious?? Why are you simping for this tool?
Congrats to Rick on his induction into the Rochester Music Hall of Fame!
Is this a virtual real estate place ?
Wow! Rick really deserves this honor!
Rick is at the top of his game right now. We're lucky to have him at this time.
For me the brightest star of the internet. And so generous with it. It's fun to see Rick being interviewed for a change. He look a little embarrassed, (or is that bashful?) to be on that side of the microphone! I hope he continues educating, appreciating and conversing for many years to come. One's sixties is an ideal time to amp life up, because you know your stuff. Rick does anyway.
Watched the Benson interview last night. Rick is doing God's work in the world of music. Beautiful man, beautiful!!!
Such a humble, wonderful man! A role model for anyone … at any age.
Congrats Rick for being inducted! You deserve it and all your success!
Inducted? How electric! Shocking! Jolly good, RB!!
Music to me was gone. Forgotten. Then I heard about a Rick Beato RUclips thingy from an old buddy. I had since bought 3 acoustic guitars, and 2 electrics. I am one of your most “rabid” fans, Rick. One of the best things about music that happened to our country, and the world.
Chuck Mangione's story is so misunderstood and he's still alive. Rick, please interview Chuck.
He definitely will
nice. I've also suggested it a few times over the years. Hope it happens!
Feel's so Good is probably the first jazz oriented song that many of us who were born in the 70's first heard. Beyond iconic.
Kudos to Rick Beato for donating to keep musicianship in the hands of young people!
Only the young can pass appreciation down to their eventual younglings.
@jabrockobiden9434. *¿ Progeny, perhaps?*
Rick definately deserves news coverage! He's a remarkable musician & educator. What a fantastic inspiration to young & old alike🎉
Rick is an American Treasure! We need to get every musician available to him for interviews, like Sir Paul McCartney (for instance) and so many of those that have shaped our world of music. Congrats Rick!
Ricks youtube channel has some of the greatest interviews available, they need to be saved to the national archives..
Best channel on RUclips.. congrats to Rick
Ricks Interviews are the best hands down
GO RICK!!! A force for good in the world and a great human being. We need more like him in the world and on the Internet.

Congrats rickster
Wow congrats to Rick on this amazing honor. It's great to see him recognized at this level for his contributions, and he's not done yet!
All proceeds from his Gibson guitar going to get instruments to kids in public schools. That’s so awesome 👏 thanks Rick
Rick Beato is HUGE on youtube. Many musicians follow him.. He is the master. :)
Protect this man at all costs! That channel is a treasure of music appreciation!
Congrats Rick! Also, props to Adam. Great interview!

Congrats Rick, I think many of us thought it was never about if they would... just when.
Congrats Rick. Very well deserved. As a long time Beato fan, Rick's videos are fun, educational, and very easy to listen to. Very nice interview here!
Teacher yes, but ..... No mention of Rick ... as a VIRTUOSO musician on MULTIPLE INSTRUMENTS? FEW musicians reach Rick's level.
We DREAM of a Rick Beato solo RECORD ! How AMAZING would THAT be?
I'm very happy for Rick. Without a doubt he deserves success. Great yt channel.

Love Rick!
Congratulations, Rick, your family must be so proud! Cheers to you and your success, it's all well-earned.
Rick is a gentleman and scholar. The professor of music brings a clear concise interpretation of a vast genera of music to the masses like no other.
Cheers Rick🥂, 🎹🎸👏👏👏👏...thanks from Guadalajara, México🇲🇽✌😎
I so proud of Rick and the work he does to spreading his knowledge. Funny he brings up Stairway and his son because he recently did a video of how his son figured out the note that everyone plays wrong in the outro solo.
Rick is really smart which showed when he was young, reading every word on an album to know the names of everyone involved in the recording.
This interview(er) proves Rick's point that Rochester has a special vibe... I might need to visit.
A very cool area. Fairport is a Erie canal town. Fingerlakes and the beginning of wine country are about 35 minutes away. jazz festival is 2 weeks in july.
Wonderful interview Adam. As a Fairport grad (and Northside student) I can recall having Ms. Malm for music too! Congrats to Rick on his induction to the RMHF!!
You were brilliant, Rick - you answered everything with composure, humility, and wisdom.
Rick should be put in charge of the Rick Hall of Fame. His will be one of the most earned/deserved awards they’ve ever presented.
Congratulations, Rick, on your Hall of Fame induction. Well-deserved!
I am not a player, musician. My great appreciation for the form brought me to Beato. And even more than that he reminded me of a Music Teacher, Mr. Boys, at my old school that encouraged me to sing.
Great interview from who's obviously another music aficionado !
Rochester not only creates value it appreciates it! Well done Rick and good on you Rochester!
Rick Beato is such a gem of a guy! Thank you for all you do Rick!
Congratulations Rick.
Rick you absolutely rock! I grew up in Rochester around the same time as you and there were so many good musicians and live music everywhere…still true today although sadly fewer live music venues. Thanks for all you do!!

As a fan of Rick Beato's channel here from London, his award is well deserved.

Surprisingly good interview for a news station. In most cases these broadcasters know next to nothing about their subjects. Especially musicians. Congrats to Rick!
What started as a music appreciation channel became a Rick Beato knowledge appreciation channel. He's fast becoming a National Treasure
His channel is great! I love music, I’m a drummer and guitar player and really enjoy how be breaks down music.

Keep the passion and the music alive Rick. We appreciate ya !! 👌👌🙏🙏
A good interviewer interviews a good interviewer
Can’t wait to hear the Benson interview.
Congrats Rick! You deserve this and so much more! Thanks For What You Do!!!

Rick can talk sophisticated cord structure with the heaviest…What enjoyment he brings to us.
Rick's a great guy and a huge part of the RUclips guitar community.
Bello/Magnifico.👑👑👑👑👑👑💨
Awesome recognition for Rick!
A great interview! Congratulations Rick!
Great interview go for it Rick, well done.
Rick is a great guy. Glad to see things working out for him.
Congratulations to Rick and thank you for helping me to better appreciate music and learning to play. 🙏🏻
Congratulations Rick 🍾🥂
Rick gives back so much to the music and musician community. We love him for it
Such an inspiring human, well deserved recognition.
Congrats Rick! Very proud of you. Followed you from the early days.
Great interview
When Rick was talking about Dylan, the amount of pride on his face hit me right in the feels.
Rick, thank you for all you do. I enjoy you channel because it's unique, educational,and it inspires music which is culturally part of all of humanity's existence. No one has a channel like yours.
You've made your own stamp in the Rock-'n'-roll hall of fame RUclipsrs.
We love ya Rick!
I’ve been watching Ricks channel since he started, he’s an incredible musician and teacher.
oh wow, i love Rick's channel
And the Rick Beato 2 channel....
Love it. Go Rochester!
