  • Rick is a wealth of knowledge, and he's got a love for MANY styles of music. in this lesson he teaches us to THINK like a jazz guitarist, no matter what style we play, allowing us to expand our ability to come up with cool lines, phrases, and solos.

    Always great to see Rick! The key with learning to think like a jazz guitarist I think is getting away from thinking from the root of a chord and realising how melody works over given chord changes. When I got into jazz I wish I'd been taught to "encase" key notes of a chord with chromaticism first rather than first learning dozens of modes and scales as a lot of teachers start with. To any rock player who wants to get into jazz I would start with a basic 7 chord like A7, get away from thinking from the root and "A mixolydian" or "A pentatonic" and just hold down the chord, notice the key tones are the major third, the fifth and the flat 7, so C#, E and G.
    A good exercise to start with is landing on the fifth (E) and aim to move from that to the major third (C#) with a chromatic line and encasing the note, so two chromatic notes down and one below the target note so E, E flat, D, then C up to C# and then ending on the flat 7 (G), so you've really "outlined" the chord and not a root note in sight. Figure that out it in all 12 keys and incorporate it into your usual stuff over a standard blues progression and you're already thinking and sounding more like a jazz player. Hope that helps somebody, it frustrated me for a long time that nobody taught me that first off!

    Jens Larson’s channel is the place to go for the jazz stuff, Beato is a genius and likes to maintain the mystique by chucking so much stuff at you that there isn’t ebough time to take it in. Either that or he is from an advanced alien civilization and doesn’t understand how to break it down for we earthlings. Larson breaks it down and makes sense of it all..... i like the way Pete immediately goes for demystifying and picks up on the key elements of chromatic passing notes and the importance of learning arpeggios. After 40 years as a mediocre amateur rock player I spent lockdown learning arpeggios and it’s like everything makes sense for the first time ever. Great video, thanks gentlemen. Sounded like a nice bit of Joe Pas about halfway through... nice.

    I studied with a jazz guy for a few years in my early 20's. I find the big thing I took away from it was trying to play so you hear the chord changes in my solos. I'm still very much a rock player, using lots of pentatonic patterns, but once I get comfortable with the chord progressions I focus less on scales and approach my solos from chord tones. I basically visualize arpeggios and add passing tones around the chord tones. I also find myself often using hammer ones and pull offs and sliding into notes in much the same way a jazz player does.

    I listened to PT2 during a long drive today, and there's a TON of interesting outside the box playing on it. PT knows theory, and must intentionally create his riffs outside the diatonic 7 chords. A unique take on progressions, resulting in unique songs. Amazing tones, every song is loaded with contrasts. Then I listened to Chris Green, which is produced by Rick Beato. Scales like you've never heard.

He is very knowledgeable but he at the same time expects you to understand him. He does not try make you understand because he expects you to be in command of your music theory.
      I had a math professor like that. He knew perfectly what he was talking about when he was "teaching" the material. But only about 5 people from the entire class had a clue - and all five were extremely well equipped with very high IQ in terms of math. The rest of us suffered constant humiliation....but at the same time, you never forget this kind of people "for some reason"
