love how unstructured your drops are. one day its an hour interview with a musical virtuoso, the next its a 5 min video on a little chord. love that
Thanks!
I've been watching Rick for a while and can say that he is very much a "stream of consciousness" RUclipsr. That is to say, he makes videos out of whatever part of his vast mental database of music is striking his fancy on that particular day. This is what makes Rick great.
same one of my favorite videos in a while
I would consider Rick a virtuoso as well.
forget about structure and think about freedom
Having Dylan as your son is like the ultimate guitar hack.
Yes, Dylan has a very special skill but it was his genius dad who recognized that he had the potential for this and developed it in his son.
it's going to be interesting to see where he takes it
@@jasonk125 Gotta make your own! 😂
Yes the clickbait pic shows his son being “paid 2500 for the chord” 😂 if you watched the video it’s pretty clear he paid 2500 for the guitar to play it on.
Thanks for reawakening my ears to "April Joy". The entire PMG White Album as well as Bright Size Life were gifts to guitarists.
Rick Beato asking his son why does a chord on a particular song sounds so particular and immediately getting a perfect answer is magical
Better than Chat GPT
he has perfect pitch i think, which is a really cool talent/skill to have (until a certain age)
@@salty_3k506Until a certain age?
@@wbek001some people say it ‘drifts’ when you get old, which causes quite a lot of confusion, apparently. Seems Gary Burton has this issue.
@@memarkiamhow old? Does it matter? Anything can happen in life..
When you played that first bar of Phase Dance, I started tearing up ... I apparently am very sentimental about that time in my life ... Phase Dance - and in fact all of Pat's music from that era - means a lot to me.
Peter Frampton said "music is my key to life", but I think Rick Beato is the key to unlocking great music across so many genres. I'm now in a Pat Metheny rabbit hole, thank you RB.
The deeper you go the more you will hear. If you apply what Pat does and says in your own musical world then you will find verdant fields of music ripe for picking.
You could do a Metheny song on every episode and it wouldn't seem like overkill. The GOAT
Love Rick's child like amazement at a chord in a piece of music. Only guitarists can truly relate. And Dylan of course . Well done that kid!
One of the best albums ever recorded. I quit driving myself nuts trying to play along and realized it's one to just listen to in awe. Just a masterpiece.
You know you have a successful RUclips station when you can buy a guitar for one chord.
And you gave it to us for free!!! What a great musical friend to have!!! Once again, you rock the world with music!!!
This is what I love about Rick! He is the music educator the world has always needed
Those chords are some of the most beautiful things I have ever heard, and I'm 63. Just gorgeous. Oh, Rick, you are a very talented musician, but you play the guitar like the strings are liquid gold.
It’s amazing how you can grow up with albums like Wichita and Still Life (Talking), leave them alone for thirty years, and instantly know “That’s Pat” within ten seconds. When I was a kid, Dad was obsessed with Metheny because Lyle Mays was a college freshman when my father was a trumpet player a few years ahead; Lyle was in every band and combo, and simply dominated. Thanks for reminding me of this! -Al
Metheny and Mays were hand in glove.
What I love about Rick is he applies his talent, skill and even genius to explore something and learn it. It’s all in his process!
What a beautiful chord in a beautiful piece. That's $2500 well spent my friend.
Stay Golden Rick Beato. The joy you exuded was infectious.
Smiling most of the way through the video, especially at the end.
You’re a good man.
How beautiful music can be with just eight basic notes. I had a music instructor say how beautiful it will be in heaven with infinite notes!
Once again Rick, you amaze me. I cannot believe I owned a studio and produced a lot of albums for our label, and I never even knew you and your studio were just 3 to 4 miles away! I'm sure you didn't need the work, but I would have hired you to play on and help produce most of our albums. You are truly a gifted musician.
I love the dissonance in that chord. I have always liked that song but I don’t think I’ve ever noticed it specifically until now. So good!
Love that whole album. First heard San Lorenzo on BBC radio here in the UK in the late 70's when Phil Collins talked about touring with the PMG with Brand X (another band that is so overlooked).
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why we love Rick Beato !!
The notes I hear in it are G3 B3 C4 E4 G4 B4 C5 and G5, 8 notes so yes it must be double tracked for sure. Really oddly soothing chord. For those interested it's a G6/11 chord spread in 2 octaves ommiting the fifth (D).To play it on a normal guitar you can tune your regular second A string to B and play: G first string third fret (thumb), B second string (open), G third string sixth fret (ring finger), C fourth string sixth fret (pinky), B fifth string (open) and the high G on the sixth string third fret (pointer finger). Happy music making everyone!
Cmaj7/G,
@user-wr6ip7fk7f Yes, if you play it on a regular guitar, without the "extensions" you can view it that way too! Chords are multifaced, so yeah, CM7 can be viewed as Em(add#5) or G6/11 or Bsus4(b2)#5 depending on the inversion. How we call it only comes down to where it is in a piece and which bass note is underneath.
How…
Isn’t that just a Cmaj7 chord, 2nd inversion. When I say ‘just’, I don’t mean it’s not a beautiful chord, and of course context is everything. But in isolation it’s not an unusual chord.
@memarkiam Yeah, that's exactly right on point. On it's own it could be described as CMaj7/G, and it probably wouldn't be anything significant to people already knowing it. For others, it might be their first encounter. (No matter the skill level, tho I like when people have the chance to fully understand what's going on.) But playing it on a guitar in this particular way is quite troublesome because if you want to resemble the original sound from the song, you'd need at least two guitars and four arms, luckily there's double-tracking and also other band members (I guess) to play this live. Nonetheless, interesting stuff. I really like Ricks enthusiasm. Maybe he should've explained it in more detail, tho.
I was into Sabbath, Deep Purple, etc....then bought that white album by Pat Metheny Group and fell in total love with it. It's magical, I had never heard anything like it. I saw the group back 40+ years ago at Colby College in Waterville Maine. Life changing!!!
I love Rick's expression when he finds the woo for him in a song!
and I love when my woo is his woo
I can get you the same chord for half the price. I know a guy who knows a guy. I'll even throw in a extra F#.
😂😂😂 Dark Web chords .
@@jamesrobert4106 they're just as good, I swear.
With nail polish.
@@jeffbehringer1262 you mean, a Polish nail?
@@jeffbehringer1262😂😂😂😂😂
Rick Beato's enthusiasm is contagious.
You are exactly like a wine connoisseur who tries to taste a particular and rare wine. Such delight in the pursuit of the magical chord ! It's pleasant to see 👍
I love that Dylan is contributing to some of the analysis. If he's interested, he could be a composer. Some of my friends who have great ears don't seem that interested in working on the muscle memory needed to become an excellent player, but have become excellent composers instead. He could compose music for video games, which is a thriving industry and often has interesting music. Just a thought.
Your enthusiasm is contagious, Rick! :)
Lifelong Pat fan here, I play April Joy in a group and have tried to play the April Wind intro with it before but it never came out right. (And it's one of the only things that's not written out in the "Pat Real Book".) I knew he used high nashville tuning on New Chautaqua tunes like Country Poem and Sueno Con Mexico -- but somehow, it never clicked that he used it on Phase Dance. So even though it's a secondary point in the video, thank you so much for unlocking that little nugget, that has apparently eluded me since around 1981!
The commitment to gaining more experience in the endless world of music is greatly admirable. That is simple a beautiful looking and sound acoustic because of how its tuned.
I'm glad my Beato Bundle helped pay for that chord, Rick! Love your enthusiastic joy at discovering how to recreate the sound that moved you.
Man that cut away looks fantastic with the binding and the sharp point on it.
I am useless musically but I love these short videos that delve deep into something like a single well placed chord. These make me hear songs in a whole new way.
He should definitely do a video on Michael Hedges. His albums have some of the most beautiful and exotic guitar melodies I've ever heard. He approached the acoustic guitar like a composer and always had it tuned differently between songs -- tunings that were the result of the music. There's nothing quite like him.
I hear a lot of Michael Hedges in this song. He was a giant, and gone way too soon.
Yes. Please. Michael was a friend.
An amazing person.
He was taking lessons from Pat towards the end.
He deserves the recognition you can provide.
Airial Boundaries
I saw Michael in person at a coffee house he did at Phillips University in his hometown of Enid, OK. I was a college student. His siblings were also students at Phillips. Michael had just started an affiliation with Wyndham Hill records. I remember being blown away by the intricacies of his music. I had never seen someone play and hammer-on with both hands, and use harmonics, like he did! It honestly sounded like two guitarists at the same time! He played his new song off the album with the same name “Aerial Boundaries”. I was hugely inspired by that mini concert, watching only about 50 feet away. Today, many of his techniques are copied and used by numerous acoustic players, like Calum Graham, Mike Dawes, to name a couple. To this day, there is a street (Blvd.) with his name next to “Briggs Auditorium”, where I hear he played a couple of concerts to the Enid Community. Phillips is gone (bankruptcy got it), but the campus is still there and operated by Northern Oklahoma College. Michael, though he came out of the obscure town of Enid, and is now deceased, inspired so many guitarists. He’s worthy of study.
Michael was tremendous was lucky to see him three times, mesmerizing.
definitely deserves a video.
The thumbnail is misleading. Nice video, as always. And your kid with perfect pitch rocks!
these voicings man... top stuff Pat!! Top stuff!! and what follows on the record is still amazing with a bass solo (composed by Metheny!) that breaks your heart!
and that is passion we love to watch on the channel
the dedication to get it done.
the most impressive part of this video is Rick asking his son to explain to him the notes !! lol ...I hope Dylan never loses that super incredible talent !! it freaks me out how he can just do that !!
I just love how certain things just knock you out, man! I'm the same way: the chords and bassline for Sour Girl do that to me. One chord change or one little effect, that emotional hook somewhere...just kicks my ass!!!
hahaha this is soooo GREAT buying a specific guitar 2 figure out a 45 old chord that still is on your mind!! That's one of the reasons I'm here. Rick can be such a wonderful music nerd, LOVE IT!
I love that this has been sitting in your memory bank for so long. As accomplished as we get on an instrument. There is always a nuance, a phrase etc we still need to understand. This is the reason music is so powerful
When I was an undergraduate music major in 1989 I tried to write an arrangement of this for jazz ensemble. It was a complete train wreck. Huge mistake to choose this for my first arranging project at age 20!!
Great album and track and I always love your explanations!
Not a mistake! You learned a lot from the experience, right?
@@matthewsnyder6127That’s what always happened in ear training class back in college. I’d always thought it was a train wreck and my professor would always correct it, fix it and wrote words of encouragement (almost like he knew where my thinking/level was at) I was always either a half step off up or down but would nail the melody always. Needless to say I got way better. Just by how that professor approached and graded my ear test tests with his feedback and correction! He also graded on curve until you got better. What a guy!
Once when someone asked him if like learning a Chopin or a really hard piece was a total waste of time in the modern era. He thought about it for a moment and said that the same exact thing you said it’s process and how you come out the other side that makes you way better.
Spot on comment 👍🏻
True - good learning experience! I loved the PM White Album then and still love it!
You can't imagine how many times I listened to this record. This album tells a story on it's own. Every tune has a sort of cohesiveness with the others. It's not too long. The sound is top notch. It's so well built. I can't imagine they were so young when this was produced.
What a tune and what a chord... And Dylan was 🎯🎯
Reminds me of the chords in "From the Beginning". Same concept at least. The flat 9 is a powerful combination!
That Nashville tuning sounds awesome! I'm a huge lover of 12 string, and it has some of that vibe, but different. Very cool.
That sounds lovely! Frank Gambale sometimes uses a kind of 'inverted Nashville-Tuning', which also allows for close voicings - sounds amazing when he does it. I tuned a guitar like that, but didn't put in the time to really use it yet.
45 years of searching and then satisfaction. Sometimes we search and never find. I'm glad you found it. The look in your eyes when you played the chord made this video special. Thanks
The other really cool thing about this track (Aprilwind) on the white album is how it works in the sequencing of the whole record. Coming out of this tune right out into April Joy just works so perfectly.
This is off my absolute favorite Pat Metheny Group album! Love that dissonance and that you bought the guitar to learn the chord!
The sonority of that voicing, and the voice-leading within that section is absolutely sensational ❤ Thank you for drawing people’s ear to Metheny’s wizardry!
You and your kids are AWESOME Rick!!!That clear guitar sounds and strange chords bring to my mind another genius: Michael Hedge
So many hours with that record Rick. Brought back a lot of memories.
That tuning is brilliant. You're effectively playing the chords in inversion using "regular" fingerings. Crazy!
Also, if you want to figure out the notes in chords, it definitely helps to ask someone with perfect pitch. I stand in awe of that kid's ear, but being Rick's son, it doesn't surprise me. Your fam is inspiring us all, Rick.
I don't understand why rick didn't name the chord though @@RealRickBeato-On_Nicegram_
Such joy in sharing your passion for the trained and the untrained musician...watching your fusion with the artist covered is always a treat.
From those opening chords, I am very much reminded of Steve Hackett!
I saw Metheny in concert back in the early 90's in Gainesville, Florida. I want to say he even had Dr. John with him on piano, if I remember right. Metheny's music is just phenomenal, as are his concerts...
Give me chills every time I hear this. Such a beautiful chord-and beautifully played, Rick. I was just waiting for Mark Egan's fretless bass to enter with the melody on April Joy. [sigh]
Nice sound to that guitar. Kind of reminds me of something Styx or ELP would put out.
Stuff like this keeps this channel alive and interesting. I'll probably never play Pat Matheny's guitar stuff, but I enjoy studying chords, and I enjoy watching Rick geek out over it.
That Dylan is really something. Beautiful song.
Love this channel and how informative it is
Rick, you’ve inspired me so much, and I wanted to let you know that I’m probably truthfully someone with an ear most similar to of all people I’ve seen, your son. I just thought it would be interesting for you to know what his future potential might be, because he was definitely way more developed in me at age 10. I could hear everything but I could not express it. Thanks for helping me grow in that way. I hope we can talk sometime. I❤ jamming with Pat Matheny tunes on my violin. I have perfect pitch since I was a little kid and I’ve always been on the lookout for anybody that had similar abilities. I manage a professional career as a classical crossover studio artist. thank you for inspiring us with your passion and sharing your expertise and unique insight. Be well!
The chord has the essence of a dulcimer melody, with like a medieval ambiance. Good find Rick!
I love that you make me interested in musical things I never would’ve been interested in. The excitement is contagious
I love Pat Metheny’s work. All of it. Brings me to many wonderful times of my life. Enough about me. Well done Rick. Carry on.
Hey Rick! I'm a great fan, cheers from Spain
April Wind has always been my favorite song from PM. Thanks for the great video Rick! Ps you might also want to go through Unquity Road from Bright Size Life some day. Also amazing and rich one. Cheers 😅
Well Rick, you've done it again! Sheer heaven hearing you play through that progression. That Pat Metheny White album is one of my favorites and I'm so knocked out by that chord! Good for Dylan on sussing it out. I've never used the Nashville tuning and wow, looks like I should try it out sometime. Sublime. Aren't a few Stones songs in that tuning, I think Wild Horses is one of them.
Great work again - your joy is infectious 🙏🎵❤️
I wish I could buy rare expensive guitars and count it as a business expense. Good for you Rick. Another perk of having a great RUclips channel that I know you worked your ass off to build. BTW I bought the bundle and it's awesome.
Glad you are putting this style of video back in to your mix. Nice!
It only cost me $250 (10% of that of the Guild, as Sweetwater was unloading their Wechter parlour hi-strings for that much 13 years ago). But thanks for delivering the goods. I did actually play Pat's Guild on its stand during a soundcheck in 1983. Which reminds me, interview Paul Wertico. His stories are great.
Sounds very spiritual and so unique.
1500 views in seven minutes! To the attestment that you, Rick are loved and respected❤
That Nashville tuning on one guitar + a second standard tuning guitar must sound incredible together in a 4-piece rock band!!
the joy in rick's face at every chord puts a smile on mine. I got to know more about pat metheny's work for sure.
Thank you for all these great lessons....you inspire us all pal...
Pat Metheny comes up with the greatest stuff. So glad you're here to share it 👍
Rick, I'm an amateur musician. I love writing songs with my guitar ever since I'm 14 yo. Songwriting was my refuge when I had a really tough time as a teenager. Unfortunately, I didn't study music in college and I never really learned music theory, and now I regret it so much. I did do 2 years of audio engineering in my twenties and I kept writing songs until I was 27.
But at 27 a really bad time in my life started and I became really depressed. I couldn't write anymore and I thought I had to let go of my dream of ever becoming a musician. Luckily I was able to overcome my challenges and this year I'm back to living life 100%... and songwriting is back :) It's just a fire in me that I luckily couldn't put out. After 7 years, I grabbed my guitar and put my midi keyboard back up again. But now I also realized how much precious time I've lost.
I really want to dedicate this second half of my life to music and doing what I've always wanted to do: writing songs professionally and producing them on my computer, maybe even creating soundtracks for movies (one can dream :). However, my knowledge of music theory is very basic and this is very limiting in songwriting as well as in production. It would also be impractical for me to go back to school since I now work a 9 to 5 for a living and to pay rent. So here's my question: what is a great, complete, music theory or piano course online that will give me the tools to compose with freedom? I want to be able to write songs and express my creativity and style with as much freedom as possible. There's so much online that I can't waste time trying every course. I know that studying online I won't get to the level of someone who trained in a conservatory, but I want to learn as much as I can. I really want to know what the best path forward would be, because having that certainty will allow me to commit fully to it, without reservations. I am willing to spend as much time studying as necessary if I have the right course in front of me. What would you do in my place to get where I want to be? Btw I live in Dallas, TX. THANK YOU!!!
Beautiful song....Lately I've been absolutely obsessed with this chord progression from a song called Sweet Season by Doug Carn. There's just something about the intro that conjures some complex emotions. Never heard anyone else mention it, so thought I'd share
Wow, those chords and that guitar sounds so good and moody. It reminds of some dark medival music or something out of the Diablo 2 game.
Yes! Tristram
@JariSatta Yeah that's right. Good catch.
I hope this sacred chord pleases the Lord !
Pat grew up in Lee's Summit MO. A few minutes east, Hee Haw ruled the day. A mere few minutes west was the 19th and Vine district. As I, an 8 year old, was walking in to my 1st guitar lesson with Jack Randall, a 14 year old Pat was walking out of his lesson with Jack. The chord voicings that Donald Fagen claimed to have invented, John Elliot had already taught to a young Metheny at the top of the Blue Ridge Tower near Blue Ridge and I-70....
Boss, you are next level… wish I could hang out and write music with you every day…I’m always inspired brother!
When you see that Rick just posted a new video you are 2x happier because you know Rick never lets you down with his content
Mr. Beato, you are an echo chamber of love and respect and skill, accompanied with a deep sense of appreciation that makes us follow. ( Your son's ear is very precious).
Man❗️ This was something❗️ I wish I had your and Dylan’s ear… Love your enthusiasm. 🙏
Thank you so much Rick. Just for being you bud. Astounding content
Wow! Your Vids are a cut above the rest! You have introduced me to songs, to people, to guitar methods that wonderfully enrich. Witnessing the way you live, love, and breath music and the way you genuinely fall in love with a single chord is infectious. Thank You Rick!
Love the harmony of the dissonance. A beautiful thing. It's something Eric Whitacre does with choral music. I would love to get Eric and Pat together on a project. Rick, you have an uncanny talent for picking out and identifying individual notes to chords. I have always had to go to a book, but you pick them out just by listening. Unbelievable to think that track, Aprilwind, is 45 years old. People have been born and died in that space of time!
Buy a guitar for one song! Wouah, what a passion! You love music so much. Thanks for sharing
This is brilliant!! I love the open way you show your love for all the music you discuss.
You obviously are a HUGE music lover, as am I. This reminds me of the story Paul M tells about when George, John and him took a bus across town because they heard about a guy there who knew how to play a B7 chord. At that time they only knew like 3 chords.
I’ve always been tempted to try Nashville tuning, but just never made the effort. Since I enjoy the sound of a 12-string I figured it would appeal to my ear. I believe you’ve pushed me over the edge and I’m going to tear into my acoustic 12. You’re right, I really like the quality of that sound. Very cool!
Control booth looking good now!
Isn't it a beautiful trip the guitar takes us on? Thanks for posting this. I remember seeing Pat in the early 80's, in Santa Cruz, at the Catalyst.
Loved this one Rick! A lesson in sensitivity and ear training.
Moments like that are rare but wonderful. There was a Soviet traditional vocal group in concert on a TV programme, the women singing in that particular way that it is kind of harsh but then at one point in each verse there would be that same sustained discord I'd never heard before but it was mind opening!
I mean this in the most complimentary way possible: I really don't mind your clickbait titles and thumbnails. For one, you earn a lot of leeway from amazing videos in general, and two they virtually always deliver, and never cause annoyance--they EARN that click. Thanks Rick. Been watching for years, but rarely comment. Thanks!
Rick, your ear and your skills blow me away
