The channels are fine, stop over thinking it Rick. More what makes this song great is always welcome. I do think you should spend more time pre-interview on what you hope to learn.
Dear Rick, me gf and me appreciate you very much. I myself interested in all things guitar started a deeper journey some years ago. At age 66 now the only regret I carry, that was a bit late We both love your deeply felt enthusiasm for high-quality music and the way you share your thoughts, your knowledge plus, last, but not least show your feelings about it. How many of your listeners have started to study an instrument by ear and hand? I'm just one, I'm sure right now and here there are many. That's great! ❤️ In short: contagious! I'm glad there is no anti-rick-beato-vaccine, but your two music-virus channels. Everybody feel free to get a fair amount of R. B. ❤ We wonder how many of your listeners have started to study an instrument by ear and hand? I'm just one, I'm sure there are many. That's great! Best wishes from Germany, from us & my guitars
I see Rick Beato, I click. No need to overthink it. Not playing too much into marketing bs, musical or otherwise, is one of the many reasons you’re so respected
It's true that a lot of us are not musicians, I'm not one, I'm an artist, but I love music. I grew up in the 70s and 80s, and I listen to a lot of the bands you talk about. I suppose your demographic is older, too. So, It kind of makes sense that your audience watches completely unrelated stuff. The thing about both of your channels that appeals to me is the nostalgia and the passionate way you talk about music. It brings me back, and I absolutely love it.
Rick, I love your videos and I never check which channel they are on. I see your face, I hear your voice and I listen to what you have to say. Maybe you are overthinking. You could have ten and then I would subscribe to all of them. But I may be missing one. Why not put them all in one channel. You are the brand, not some random name.
I hope you don't stop posting clips. That's usually my entry (and motivation) to watching a full episode. Other times, I may not have the time or interest in watching the full video, so checking the clips is a nice alternative. Another channel that I subscribe to posts full interviews and has a second channel that is just clips from the interviews.
I like what you're doing. Musicians enjoy talking to you because you know music. If your guest is having fun, everybody's having fun. Having them play for a while is a great idea. Maybe expand on that.
I love the channel, I love to see how you worked as producer, show how you produce bands or similar to that were you got together with some friends and recorded an original. Showing the process and talking us through it.
Rick, you do so many different things with the channel. It’s just nice to know that I can slide in one day and learn the chords of a Nirvana song, or hear about some cool jazz history. I tune into the interviews the most, but this multipurpose thing you’ve got going on is awesome. I don’t know the difference between different channels. I just look at what’s going on and click in
Agree with Kevin. 'Your connection with music and musicians is super special'. OK you have knowledge, skills and wide experience but every time you post you share that part of you that just loves good music wherever it comes from. That is why you are loved by artists and audience alike. Keep doing what you are doing, the way you are doing it. I'll watch it all on whatever channel.
I'm not a musician but I love music very much. I also love channels like this because I learn about lots of new artists. Hearing Rick Beato and others like him explain the importance of artists and their creations means so much to me.
This is your channel, so the channel should represent you and everything you love, hate and are influenced by in music. Who were/are your influences, hero's. I watch your channel cause I'm an amateur musician, and I love to learn more. It helps me to improve.
I've caught myself watching mainly Rick Beato 2. The interviews are always insightful, emotional and even funny. It's so amazing to get to know the people behind all the fantastic music. What strikes me is their humility and kindness. I see what you are doing on this channel as an invaluable service to mankind. We must preserve the legacy of the musical geniuses amongst us in these times of fleeting fads and short attention spans. Keep up the great work, Rick.
I agree, the second channel's purpose has always been a mystery to me. I would love to see channel 2 dedicated to industry/producer-related content, like your interviews with Ted Gloria, Brendan O'Brien, Niclas Molinder, etc. I'm not even a musician but find that content fascinating.
This would be a good studio-oriented channel. Recording techniques, studio design, engineering interviews, how/why to choose which plugins or outboard gear to use in certain situations, things like how the Beatles' songs sound so different using the same gear year after year. Demos about how great engineers actually set up in the studio, etc. interviews, etc.
Video doesn't play, but based on title alone, the reason i love your channel is because you just talk about things and interview people you're interested in. I am interested in how you became you, and how you think about music. Thank you Rick.
Listen Rick. I just love the interviews with the huge stars and engineers and you going in absolute crazy details about it all even when I don't really undeurstand everything because it's so technical. It makes me go and research what you are talking about and making me more knowledgable about music and the absolute work that goes with it. Don't dumb it down for anyone. Maybe you can put the big interviews on the main channel and keep the music nerd stuff here. Dosen't matter I will watch it all. Call it "Rick Beato Extras" "Rick Beato : In Depth" somethiung like that
I just wanted to share what I wrote when I shared a video of yours: Rick Beato has a vast number of music analysis shows there such as “What Makes This Song Great” which is how I began following him. But his interviews are on another, even greater level, prompting one commenter to say his RUclips channel should be preserved at the Library of Congress…. Not too shabby for a RUclipsr. They’re worthy of that because he is preserving musical knowledge. He knows what to ask and he’s excited to hear the answer, however long that takes. But another talent of his, in my viewing, is his ability to bridge the gap between young and old with this enthusiasm. First, he’s the perfect interviewer for legends because not only is he so well acquainted with their histories, their recordings and performances, but he also feels and appreciates their magic. He hears what they’re doing. He “gets” them, and perhaps not everyone has. He’s excited for them and wants to say thank you, as he did in his touching interview with jazz pianist Keith Jarrett (who had a stroke). And THEY also thank HIM (Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, and Brian May). But Rick Beato also wholeheartedly enjoys what new and young musicians are bringing to the scene, and it’s wonderful. He hears and appreciates their bits of magic too and wants to highlight these for the world to hear. He “gets” THEM too, and few people have. He’s their biggest cheerleader. It’s a beautiful skill and amazing to behold.
I would start with “ branding” Beato 2 with a different look. Green screen your background showing a different image than your studio shot you use on Beato I. I would incorporate the name of the second channel in the background so each channel is instantly identifiable from each other. Once you have a different immediately identifiable look for each channel, you can hone in on the difference between the channels. Good luck with whichever way you decide to take it! Always a fan!
Would love to see more content, from your extensive knowledge of recording. I need help with things like- setting a channel for recording, getting levels, placing mics, recording effects wet/ dry, unique drum mic placements, like setting mics to pan left to right when going around the toms. Anything about basics of recording. Lots of us have DAWs now- but have little knowledge of good studio technique. Appreciate you so much!!
Please, honor David Sanborn. He contributed a lot of great music to many artists throughout the 70s, 80s, and 90s. Not only his own music, but he's also played w/David Bowie, Bruce Springsteen, Sonny Rollins, Bob James,Red Hot Chili Peppers, Sting, Eric Clapton. James Taylor>>"How sweet it is".That's Sanborn playing that famous sax line!
Don't overthink it too much. Really been enjoying the longer interviews lately. Rick has a way of asking better questions to his guests, unlike the typical media interviews.
What makes this song great is the best though, and why I subscribed. Love listening to someone breakdown a song that's not my friends, and I. Someone who knows down to the small details.
I’m subscribed to both channels and I love both of them and I can’t play one instrument at all but I really enjoy your videos Rick, do what you want but I’m still following
Rick, I love that you make both the clips & highlights as well as the full interviews available in separate formats. If you don't release clips & highlights anymore, it would be super if you could index the main video so folks without a lot of time can skip to the juicy bits please.
only thing i can think of, would be perhaps to use this as a means to go over your Beato book contents. its doable for a noob to follow the book, but somewhat painful to follow when all of the info is completely new to an unexperienced person. but love what ya do in any case. just make sure it keeps you sane and makes you happy, whichever road you end up going down. ^^
Rick you’re a solid human being. That is first and foremost and what I recognized after spending time watching hung both channels. And I share your passion and love for Everything Music! So awesome you share that with your children ❤️That’s the best. I also appreciate your introspection, and hustle. You have left your imprint for sure and anything “Behind the Curtain, W Rick” Count me in!!!
All your output is Great Rick !!! Everything is interesting. Sub groups of types of focus are cool. But do whatever interests you. Variety is great and keeps it interesting for us also 👍✌️
Rick, you're a superb musician, wonderful human being and it must be great to have a chat with you. Musicians love to talk to you because you are in the same realm, they know what you really care about is the music. One thing I really miss is the "What Makes This Song Great" series. That's what brought me to your channel in the first place, to see you breaking down songs I love and listened for a long time. That's my two cents. Hope it's useful.
Myself and my poor musician friends and family have gained so much great knowledge from your efforts. We are creating some amazing original tunes old school with real instruments, good tone and our chops. My bucket list is to record our combined efforts at Leon Russell’s Church Studio in Tulsa. I would love to recruit Rick Beato to produce us so it gets done right. Keep inspiring us
I loved the Bill Schnee interview and that seems like the perfect thing for RB2. Maybe RB1 is for the famous, popular stuff, artists, songs, albums, etc. and RB2 is more educational, behind the scenes people, places, music theory, tech talk, such like. "Beato Beyond"?
I would love to hear from bands like Chevelle and Nothing More about the creative process and the business. I have always wanted interviewers to ask artist which songs were their favorite from an album, or which song should have been released as a single or which songs sound better live, etc.
Love your channel! I'm a little disappointed how you haven't talked about PJ's latest album. It is some of their best work. They are among the best live bands if not the best. Perhaps you could do a video about what makes a great live band???
I think that this channel would be a perfect vehicle for mixing and production. You have a ton of knowledge & expertise in that area, and we relatively don't see a lot of that from you.
I really think it doesn't it confuses me. Love both channels. I love esoteric content, this is the time to do things that are interesting to musicians, producers and everybody knows that, so that you can have each one of your dream guests delighted, finally in a room with the honest, funny and insightful Rick Beato.
My feedback from watching both channels, love the interviews, love the lessons, I would love to see more tone tips, not just for recording but live. I’m a gigging guitar player …ie clubs bars ect, but there’s option overload in terms of pedals and effects ie how to dial in a great live lead sound , how to mix live instruments , I see more recording focused videos which is also great, other than that I love everything
I'd like to hear a short intro jam, and longer outro jam, where you play along with various mega-hits, your personal favorites, or showing quality backing tracks, perhaps including a gear/guitar brand demo when fitting. They talk is cheap, but yours are priceless. Adding music would be a deep bonus.
22:30 ish, this list contains many channels that have been recommended (pushed) at me, because I watch your channel. I've watched some, they're ok, some are very good, but I try to watch everything Beato, because you get it right. You are the best, why would I watch the rest? I'm not a musician, but I'm very interested in music. You have helped me discuss music with musicians. You've helped understand what I love about great songs and why. Your interview short clips have pulled me into full interviews with people I didn't know I'd find interesting. The variety is what makes your channel so good. RB1, RB2, RB anything, What makes..., interviews, Top 10, Studio talk, Rick & Family, Rick & Friends, What Rick done last night, What Rick had for breakfast.... who cares what channel it's on. It'll probably be more interesting than most others. Suggestions: Channel name: Rick Rolled Handy channel addition: You often mention specific related old shows that we should check out. It not easy to do. Maybe add a link in the subject text? Maybe create video 'Playlists' Early days highlights "In the Beginning" "What Makes..." oldest first "Interviews" alphabetical "Music Theory" Etc. ❤
I missed this while I was actually practicing and working on a song idea for another band. I like the "soundstage" channel rebrand idea. A good idea for this or maybe even another channel would be to document some of the production of Billionaire's recording. I was lucky being an early watcher on the original channel when there were major music theory videos, which got me pulled back into music somewhat before it became an intense interest again in 2020. I would not be surprised if I watched all of yours and many other music RUclipsrs' videos during those months from where everything was standing still. Your video with Ted today brought me a little bit of faint hope that there could be a place for me in a future music scene even though I'm not young anymore like that business prefers. I'd really love to be involved in something like artist development and production, and of course, write some really good songs. I have songs that have been stuck in my brain for a few decades now and your channel actually taught me how to name those sounds so that I could just get them on to instruments for later use. I'd really like to now learn the production part of the equation so that I can fully actualize these things that sound like full productions in my head now that I know how they would fit on the instruments I do play. I hope that there are other people who watch these channels that feel as intensely as I do about music now and feel inspired to go out there and make something happen.
Beautiful music in the intro where really something happens and you know it's intelligent and so you stay alert and interestet. Maybe start composing and recording songs in live streams, but in a common home studio setup ? Respect to Rick Beato the best teacher and motivator on RUclips 🙏🏼✌🏼
The Dirty Loops interview was top notch! You presented an active contemporary live band in a nice lo-key mood, letting them describe what they do and who they are. Interesting to learn how top quality music can emerge, though far beyond the Billboard lists. Also your co-op with Nahre Sol about scales was interesting, far beside the mainstream genres. And Gowan, Mancuso, Carlton & co, (a looong list). Just go on! Please, just don't fall into the "Microsoft trap" - they sometimes focus on learning from their mistakes, but forget to learn from their successes.
a deep technical direction that appeals to those that interested in that side as well as the culture, band history and iconic songs , guitars etc. there’s a social, cultural thing, and a technical thing you could separate. 👍lee from the uk .
I would like things like: - best set-up & mixing for live gigs - how to calm down & relax for both live gigs & recording. Nothing worse than getting “red light” fever when recording in the studio - how to find harmony parts, both guitar & vocals. Some of us don’t hear them naturally In truth, I don’t gravitate to one channel or the other. I’m subscribed to both & click on any new video that seems interesting
I like the idea of interviewing artists that have yet to break and giving them much needed exposure. I also like the idea of reviewing songs by lesser known, indie bands, like was mentioned in the chat.
Main suggestion for you - an easily accessible (possibly on website as RUclips tries to obscure this sort of access) database of ALL your videos, searchable by date, interviewee, topic, song, clip or Longford. In other words, all the information you must have already. RUclips does not make it easy to search at this level of resolution. I watch your material for two or three hours most days, so this would really help me and other subscribers. I already have bought your bundle, of course
I see an ethereal cartoonized version of you as an older man your musical thoughts bursting like an electrical field... Connected to nature, sound , stars and events in time. It's like a picture of your brain, your spirit... Your all. Great music!! If only AI could add to the connection you have with people in a nondestructive way.
Well I was listening to your previous conversation with Ted, and I thought getting a regular "Beato Top 10" would be great. Find some new emerging talent and give them a shout out. Biggest problem for a lot of us is breaking through the noise of everything else is out there. It'd be cool to see the support of the bands that you think are doing great stuff, and give your audience something fresh to check out
Pretty awesome you’re asking the viewers for input. IMHO, you need more composers like Christophe Beck, John Powell, Michael Giacchino, Bryan Tyler and Tyler Bates.👍🏼
A technical comparison of western music and middle eastern music would be great. Some of the great grooves and vocals in M.E, popular music are really interesting, along with flatted notes we don't use in our scale system.
I miss that main channel old content from the early days. 2017 / 2018. The ban hammer days... BOOM! I don't really watch as often anymore. Love the interviews. You do those REALLY well. And I miss the esoteric stuff.
I can understand if you choose to maintain privacy for your children, but I'd love to see their musical progression on occasion. The perfect pitch video with Dylan is what put you on my radar. Also, I'd love to have a intermediate-level lesson or drill to work on occasionally. I do have the Beato Book, but I like seeing and hearing what you're teaching as well.
I truly enjoy RB2. Trust your instincts Rick. We do! One thought; Maybe change the name to distinguish it from RB1. Rick’s Music Cafe. (Play on Casablanca.) Cheers
Rick, I really enjoy your interviews, particularly when one musician (you) discusses playing with another. Your recent interview with Nathan about his arrangements is a recent example. I also really enjoy videos where you discuss why or what makes a piece of music innovative or great, regardless of genre or popularity. Maybe use this channel for longer videos, live chats like this, and videos focusing on deeper more advanced topics. Maybe call it Beato Deep in the Night? I began playing as a child in elementary school and continued playing in school bands and smaller groups into my late 20's. As I grew older the need to take a real job made that more difficult. Now in my late 50's I only play at home, mostly at home and at night. I just want to thank you for letting me continue to enjoy music and the creative process. Watching your videos makes me feel like I'm still sitting around with my friends talking about, listening to, and playing music.
I enjoy your content on both channels. The other people i follow are a more like the Rick Beato 2 side. I do not get the one for the other channel. You can name it what you want. I will watch it.
I’ve never sought out Rick Beato 2 as I assumed it was for clips derived from the main channel. I love the interviews but also get a lot from the educational breakdowns. I do think the channel name should indicate what is shown. You should advertise what’s exclusive to the second channel as you do with your Beato Bundle
Rick - I think that there's not enough about the effect of music on humans and how it affects mood for good and bad; how it can communicate without a language barrier and bring people together. The other side is how artists clash or combine in their differences in creating music. The whole psychology of music is fascinating and I would imagine that you've got a lot to say on these issues.
What about going to studios where artists are recording new music and showing the process and then talking with them about it? Or maybe go to some pre tour band rehearsals?
I would like to see the studio in use. Fly on the wall of Rick and collaborators like Rhett writing songs and recording them. Putting the theory and recording techniques into practice. With a breakdown of the theory behind the finished song. You guys have so many chops. I would love to see them put to a creative use.
I don't distinguish between your channels - I see a Rick Beato topic that I'm interested in and I watch it. I don't even notice which channel it is.
Same here, sometimes I wonder why even have two channels. 🤷♂️
Same here, too.
Same
The channels are fine, stop over thinking it Rick. More what makes this song great is always welcome. I do think you should spend more time pre-interview on what you hope to learn.
wow, stereo thinking! scary!
Dear Rick, me gf and me appreciate you very much. I myself interested in all things guitar started a deeper journey some years ago. At age 66 now the only regret I carry, that was a bit late We both love your deeply felt enthusiasm for high-quality music and the way you share your thoughts, your knowledge plus, last, but not least show your feelings about it.
How many of your listeners have started to study an instrument by ear and hand? I'm just one, I'm sure right now and here there are many. That's great! ❤️
In short: contagious! I'm glad there is no anti-rick-beato-vaccine, but your two music-virus channels. Everybody feel free to get a fair amount of R. B. ❤
We wonder how many of your listeners have started to study an instrument by ear and hand? I'm just one, I'm sure there are many. That's great!
Best wishes from Germany, from us & my guitars
Yeah, I don't want to see the channel dumbed down for people with short attention spans.
I think his interviews are some of the best out there. The musicians open up and talk so freely with Rick.
Couldn't agree more!
I see Rick Beato, I click. No need to overthink it. Not playing too much into marketing bs, musical or otherwise, is one of the many reasons you’re so respected
It's true that a lot of us are not musicians, I'm not one, I'm an artist, but I love music. I grew up in the 70s and 80s, and I listen to a lot of the bands you talk about.

The thing about both of your channels that appeals to me is the nostalgia and the passionate way you talk about music. It brings me back, and I absolutely love it.
Yes! Another non-musician here, but I play a mean stereo! And I share with my kids and friends!
The channel is a good source of education and enlightenment. It should stay as you are doing a great job.
I am not a musician, but love music and your content even this 2nd channel.
Rick is perfect. Humblest talented all around guy I have seen on this platform Steve Vie is a good guy as well.
I like the idea of showcasing live new music, feature performances, and collaborations with musical guests.
Rick, I love your videos and I never check which channel they are on. I see your face, I hear your voice and I listen to what you have to say. Maybe you are overthinking. You could have ten and then I would subscribe to all of them. But I may be missing one.
Why not put them all in one channel. You are the brand, not some random name.
I hope you don't stop posting clips. That's usually my entry (and motivation) to watching a full episode.

I like what you're doing. Musicians enjoy talking to you because you know music. If your guest is having fun, everybody's having fun.
Having them play for a while is a great idea. Maybe expand on that.
Sounds like you need a “what makes this channel great” series so you can figure it out.
Great!
Love your channels Rick.
I'd love to see More of what makes this song great
I love the channel, I love to see how you worked as producer, show how you produce bands or similar to that were you got together with some friends and recorded an original. Showing the process and talking us through it.
These channels have given so much to us the listener! I think it’s time for Rick to do whatever he finds joy in his life doing!
Rick, you do so many different things with the channel. It’s just nice to know that I can slide in one day and learn the chords of a Nirvana song, or hear about some cool jazz history. I tune into the interviews the most, but this multipurpose thing you’ve got going on is awesome. I don’t know the difference between different channels.
I just look at what’s going on and click in
Appreciate your humble and respectful approach to the people you interview.
Its good to see humble people in this day and age. A rare commodity.
Dude - anything you post, I’m watching. 🙂
Agree with Kevin.
'Your connection with music and musicians is super special'. OK you have knowledge, skills and wide experience but every time you post you share that part of you that just loves good music wherever it comes from. That is why you are loved by artists and audience alike. Keep doing what you are doing, the way you are doing it. I'll watch it all on whatever channel.
Dang missed it live again. Intro brought back memories rick
Yeah man, old school stuff, in depth production , live streams , theory etc
I'm not a musician but I love music very much. I also love channels like this because I learn about lots of new artists. Hearing Rick Beato and others like him explain the importance of artists and their creations means so much to me.
This is your channel, so the channel should represent you and everything you love, hate and are influenced by in music. Who were/are your influences, hero's. I watch your channel cause I'm an amateur musician, and I love to learn more. It helps me to improve.
I've caught myself watching mainly Rick Beato 2. The interviews are always insightful, emotional and even funny. It's so amazing to get to know the people behind all the fantastic music. What strikes me is their humility and kindness. I see what you are doing on this channel as an invaluable service to mankind. We must preserve the legacy of the musical geniuses amongst us in these times of fleeting fads and short attention spans. Keep up the great work, Rick.
I like your format just the way it is. This is one of the few channels where I can just sit and chill while I watch excellent content.
Modify What Makes This Song great by also deconstructing a song or artist to its influences so we can connect it to what came before.
I agree, the second channel's purpose has always been a mystery to me. I would love to see channel 2 dedicated to industry/producer-related content, like your interviews with Ted Gloria, Brendan O'Brien, Niclas Molinder, etc. I'm not even a musician but find that content fascinating.
I'll watch whatever you post I enjoy the long form interviews let the guest tell their stories 👍🇺🇸
This would be a good studio-oriented channel. Recording techniques, studio design, engineering interviews, how/why to choose which plugins or outboard gear to use in certain situations, things like how the Beatles' songs sound so different using the same gear year after year. Demos about how great engineers actually set up in the studio, etc. interviews, etc.
Video doesn't play, but based on title alone, the reason i love your channel is because you just talk about things and interview people you're interested in. I am interested in how you became you, and how you think about music. Thank you Rick.
I love both your channels. Please don't quit or change anything. Only thing I'd like is to know what band guests are from in the title.
Listen Rick.
I just love the interviews with the huge stars and engineers and you going in absolute crazy details about it all even when I don't really undeurstand everything because it's so technical.
It makes me go and research what you are talking about and making me more knowledgable about music and the absolute work that goes with it.
Don't dumb it down for anyone.
Maybe you can put the big interviews on the main channel and keep the music nerd stuff here. Dosen't matter I will watch it all.
Call it "Rick Beato Extras" "Rick Beato : In Depth" somethiung like that
Beato's B Sides
One amazing topic never discussed on this channel is rehearsing online.
It's a huge tool and a working game changing
I just wanted to share what I wrote when I shared a video of yours:
Rick Beato has a vast number of music analysis shows there such as “What Makes This Song Great” which is how I began following him. But his interviews are on another, even greater level, prompting one commenter to say his RUclips channel should be preserved at the Library of Congress…. Not too shabby for a RUclipsr.

There's that music I always loved in your older intros❣️😊
Love both channels! You gotta see about getting the Queen of Slide guitar on. Miss Bonnie Raitt
I would start with “ branding” Beato 2 with a different look. Green screen your background showing a different image than your studio shot you use on Beato I.

The music is fab! So beautiful, so mature! Kudos🙏
Would love to see more content, from your extensive knowledge of recording. I need help with things like- setting a channel for recording, getting levels, placing mics, recording effects wet/ dry, unique drum mic placements, like setting mics to pan left to right when going around the toms. Anything about basics of recording. Lots of us have DAWs now- but have little knowledge of good studio technique. Appreciate you so much!!
I agree about that. I'd love to see in depth stuff about how to record a record from A to Z in details.
I like keeping tabs on just one channel. I follow a LOT of channels, so the more concentrated the better.
More “What Makes This Song Great!” Really appreciate your genius!!
Please, honor David Sanborn. He contributed a lot of great music to many artists throughout the 70s, 80s, and 90s. Not only his own music, but he's also played w/David Bowie, Bruce Springsteen, Sonny Rollins, Bob James,Red Hot Chili Peppers, Sting, Eric Clapton.
James Taylor>>"How sweet it is".That's Sanborn playing that famous sax line!
That show Night Music i believe was the best TV music show.
@@williambarry8015amazing show.
All that sax you hear in the Lethal Weapon movies? That was him too. RIP.
Keep on keepin’on. Love it as is!
Don't overthink it too much. Really been enjoying the longer interviews lately. Rick has a way of asking better questions to his guests, unlike the typical media interviews.
Love hearing and discovering current bands/artists that are pretty much unknown but worth listening to.
What makes this song great is the best though, and why I subscribed. Love listening to someone breakdown a song that's not my friends, and I. Someone who knows down to the small details.
I Love your teaching and interview style.
I agree. Great channel. U cover all gendres of music and great artists. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. Great job Rick!
I’m subscribed to both channels and I love both of them and I can’t play one instrument at all but I really enjoy your videos Rick, do what you want but I’m still following
Be yourself, your channel and content are excellent for novices such as me. I enjoy your interviews more than anything 😊
Rick, I love that you make both the clips & highlights as well as the full interviews available in separate formats.
If you don't release clips & highlights anymore, it would be super if you could index the main video so folks without a lot of time can skip to the juicy bits please.
Indeed looking forward a more distinct name for the channel would seem the be beneficial.
only thing i can think of, would be perhaps to use this as a means to go over your Beato book contents. its doable for a noob to follow the book, but somewhat painful to follow when all of the info is completely new to an unexperienced person.
but love what ya do in any case. just make sure it keeps you sane and makes you happy, whichever road you end up going down. ^^
I am not a musician and I LOVE both of your channels. I would love to see more of What makes this song great
Rick you’re a solid human being. That is first and foremost and what I recognized after spending time watching hung both channels. And I share your passion and love for Everything Music! So awesome you share that with your children ❤️That’s the best. I also appreciate your introspection, and hustle. You have left your imprint for sure and anything “Behind the Curtain, W Rick” Count me in!!!
@MattHumphrey2408 ^”…spending time watching hung…”
Um… fuqqing huh??
^*everything music, never Everything Music🤷♂️🙄🤦♂️🤡💩
@@spanqueluv9er 👺-Stay Mad Incel, keep Spanq em out 👹”luver” 🤣
All your output is Great Rick !!! Everything is interesting. Sub groups of types of focus are cool. But do whatever interests you. Variety is great and keeps it interesting for us also 👍✌️
All of your stuff is good Rick. I have absorbed a ton of good information and discovered even more new music through your content.
Rick, you're a superb musician, wonderful human being and it must be great to have a chat with you. Musicians love to talk to you because you are in the same realm, they know what you really care about is the music. One thing I really miss is the "What Makes This Song Great" series. That's what brought me to your channel in the first place, to see you breaking down songs I love and listened for a long time. That's my two cents. Hope it's useful.
Myself and my poor musician friends and family have gained so much great knowledge from your efforts. We are creating some amazing original tunes old school with real instruments, good tone and our chops. My bucket list is to record our combined efforts at Leon Russell’s Church Studio in Tulsa. I would love to recruit Rick Beato to produce us so it gets done right. Keep inspiring us
I loved the Bill Schnee interview and that seems like the perfect thing for RB2. Maybe RB1 is for the famous, popular stuff, artists, songs, albums, etc. and RB2 is more educational, behind the scenes people, places, music theory, tech talk, such like. "Beato Beyond"?
I would love to hear from bands like Chevelle and Nothing More about the creative process and the business. I have always wanted interviewers to ask artist which songs were their favorite from an album, or which song should have been released as a single or which songs sound better live, etc.
Love your channel! I'm a little disappointed how you haven't talked about PJ's latest album. It is some of their best work. They are among the best live bands if not the best. Perhaps you could do a video about what makes a great live band???
I think that this channel would be a perfect vehicle for mixing and production. You have a ton of knowledge & expertise in that area, and we relatively don't see a lot of that from you.
I really think it doesn't it confuses me. Love both channels. I love esoteric content, this is the time to do things that are interesting to musicians, producers and everybody knows that, so that you can have each one of your dream guests delighted, finally in a room with the honest, funny and insightful Rick Beato.
My feedback from watching both channels, love the interviews, love the lessons, I would love to see more tone tips, not just for recording but live. I’m a gigging guitar player …ie clubs bars ect, but there’s option overload in terms of pedals and effects ie how to dial in a great live lead sound , how to mix live instruments , I see more recording focused videos which is also great, other than that I love everything
I'd like to hear a short intro jam, and longer outro jam, where you play along with various mega-hits, your personal favorites, or showing quality backing tracks, perhaps including a gear/guitar brand demo when fitting. They talk is cheap, but yours are priceless. Adding music would be a deep bonus.
In my opinion, it would be good to hear. Recording tricks and tips production tips. Love the show
Love to see something along the process of creating track from inception, writing, rehearsals, recording, production etc.
22:30 ish, this list contains many channels that have been recommended (pushed) at me, because I watch your channel. I've watched some, they're ok, some are very good, but I try to watch everything Beato, because you get it right. You are the best, why would I watch the rest?
I'm not a musician, but I'm very interested in music. You have helped me discuss music with musicians. You've helped understand what I love about great songs and why.
Your interview short clips have pulled me into full interviews with people I didn't know I'd find interesting. The variety is what makes your channel so good. RB1, RB2, RB anything, What makes..., interviews, Top 10, Studio talk, Rick & Family, Rick & Friends, What Rick done last night, What Rick had for breakfast.... who cares what channel it's on. It'll probably be more interesting than most others.
Suggestions:
Channel name: Rick Rolled
Handy channel addition: You often mention specific related old shows that we should check out. It not easy to do.
Maybe add a link in the subject text?
Maybe create video 'Playlists'
Early days highlights
"In the Beginning"
"What Makes..." oldest first
"Interviews" alphabetical
"Music Theory"
Etc. ❤
more interviews, cause ur fantastic at those, & more of what makes this song great is always good. thank u sir
I would love to see you have a channel dedicated to mixing/engineering/production.
Rick, I enjoy both channels as they are... nice to watch a "real" guy who tells it like it is.
I missed this while I was actually practicing and working on a song idea for another band. I like the "soundstage" channel rebrand idea. A good idea for this or maybe even another channel would be to document some of the production of Billionaire's recording. I was lucky being an early watcher on the original channel when there were major music theory videos, which got me pulled back into music somewhat before it became an intense interest again in 2020. I would not be surprised if I watched all of yours and many other music RUclipsrs' videos during those months from where everything was standing still. Your video with Ted today brought me a little bit of faint hope that there could be a place for me in a future music scene even though I'm not young anymore like that business prefers. I'd really love to be involved in something like artist development and production, and of course, write some really good songs. I have songs that have been stuck in my brain for a few decades now and your channel actually taught me how to name those sounds so that I could just get them on to instruments for later use. I'd really like to now learn the production part of the equation so that I can fully actualize these things that sound like full productions in my head now that I know how they would fit on the instruments I do play. I hope that there are other people who watch these channels that feel as intensely as I do about music now and feel inspired to go out there and make something happen.
Beautiful music in the intro where really something happens and you know it's intelligent and so you stay alert and interestet. Maybe start composing and recording songs in live streams, but in a common home studio setup ? Respect to Rick Beato the best teacher and motivator on RUclips 🙏🏼✌🏼
The Dirty Loops interview was top notch! You presented an active contemporary live band in a nice lo-key mood, letting them describe what they do and who they are. Interesting to learn how top quality music can emerge, though far beyond the Billboard lists. Also your co-op with Nahre Sol about scales was interesting, far beside the mainstream genres. And Gowan, Mancuso, Carlton & co, (a looong list). Just go on! Please, just don't fall into the "Microsoft trap" - they sometimes focus on learning from their mistakes, but forget to learn from their successes.
Hey Rick! You are a fantastic interviewer. So many talented acts out there...
I second review of classical music. I often listen to classical music while studying or when I just need calming time.
Another player to interview...Nili Brosh. Excellent
Rick, I really think Beato B-Sides is a great name for this channel! Cheers from San Diego (it's Tim B.). Hope to catch up with you soon. Cheers!
a deep technical direction that appeals to those that interested in that side as well as the culture, band history and iconic songs , guitars etc. there’s a social, cultural thing, and a technical thing you could separate. 👍lee from the uk .
Your channels are great as is, I get a lot of your knowledge out of them.
I would like things like:
- best set-up & mixing for live gigs
- how to calm down & relax for both live gigs & recording. Nothing worse than getting “red light” fever when recording in the studio
- how to find harmony parts, both guitar & vocals. Some of us don’t hear them naturally
In truth, I don’t gravitate to one channel or the other. I’m subscribed to both & click on any new video that seems interesting
I like the idea of interviewing artists that have yet to break and giving them much needed exposure. I also like the idea of reviewing songs by lesser known, indie bands, like was mentioned in the chat.
Main suggestion for you - an easily accessible (possibly on website as RUclips tries to obscure this sort of access) database of ALL your videos, searchable by date, interviewee, topic, song, clip or Longford. In other words, all the information you must have already. RUclips does not make it easy to search at this level of resolution. I watch your material for two or three hours most days, so this would really help me and other subscribers. I already have bought your bundle, of course
Highlight versions of the long interviews would be a good use of this channel.
I see an ethereal cartoonized version of you as an older man your musical thoughts bursting like an electrical field... Connected to nature, sound , stars and events in time. It's like a picture of your brain, your spirit... Your all. Great music!! If only AI could add to the connection you have with people in a nondestructive way.
Well I was listening to your previous conversation with Ted, and I thought getting a regular "Beato Top 10" would be great. Find some new emerging talent and give them a shout out. Biggest problem for a lot of us is breaking through the noise of everything else is out there. It'd be cool to see the support of the bands that you think are doing great stuff, and give your audience something fresh to check out
Great idea, start with The Karma Effect, a great rock band from the UK. 😎👌 🇬🇧
Pretty awesome you’re asking the viewers for input. IMHO, you need more composers like Christophe Beck, John Powell, Michael Giacchino, Bryan Tyler and Tyler Bates.👍🏼
A technical comparison of western music and middle eastern music would be great. Some of the great grooves and vocals in M.E, popular music are really interesting, along with flatted notes we don't use in our scale system.
I miss that main channel old content from the early days. 2017 / 2018. The ban hammer days... BOOM! I don't really watch as often anymore. Love the interviews. You do those REALLY well. And I miss the esoteric stuff.
All the best from Mexico Rick, you are the man!
I can understand if you choose to maintain privacy for your children, but I'd love to see their musical progression on occasion. The perfect pitch video with Dylan is what put you on my radar. Also, I'd love to have a intermediate-level lesson or drill to work on occasionally. I do have the Beato Book, but I like seeing and hearing what you're teaching as well.
I truly enjoy RB2. Trust your instincts Rick. We do! One thought; Maybe change the name to distinguish it from RB1. Rick’s Music Cafe. (Play on Casablanca.) Cheers
Rick, I really enjoy your interviews, particularly when one musician (you) discusses playing with another. Your recent interview with Nathan about his arrangements is a recent example. I also really enjoy videos where you discuss why or what makes a piece of music innovative or great, regardless of genre or popularity. Maybe use this channel for longer videos, live chats like this, and videos focusing on deeper more advanced topics. Maybe call it Beato Deep in the Night?
I began playing as a child in elementary school and continued playing in school bands and smaller groups into my late 20's. As I grew older the need to take a real job made that more difficult. Now in my late 50's I only play at home, mostly at home and at night. I just want to thank you for letting me continue to enjoy music and the creative process. Watching your videos makes me feel like I'm still sitting around with my friends talking about, listening to, and playing music.
I think both feeds should merge into one massive channel …UNITED WE STAND FOREVER! 🎶😃👍
I enjoy your content on both channels. The other people i follow are a more like the Rick Beato 2 side. I do not get the one for the other channel. You can name it what you want. I will watch it.
I’ve never sought out Rick Beato 2 as I assumed it was for clips derived from the main channel. I love the interviews but also get a lot from the educational breakdowns. I do think the channel name should indicate what is shown. You should advertise what’s exclusive to the second channel as you do with your Beato Bundle
Do whatever works for you Rick. We will adapt. ❤
Rick - I think that there's not enough about the effect of music on humans and how it affects mood for good and bad; how it can communicate without a language barrier and bring people together. The other side is how artists clash or combine in their differences in creating music. The whole psychology of music is fascinating and I would imagine that you've got a lot to say on these issues.
Rick's Beat could encompasses all aspects of musical interests.
What about going to studios where artists are recording new music and showing the process and then talking with them about it? Or maybe go to some pre tour band rehearsals?
Awesome idea!
I would like to see the studio in use.
Fly on the wall of Rick and collaborators like Rhett writing songs and recording them.
Putting the theory and recording techniques into practice. With a breakdown of the theory behind the finished song.
You guys have so many chops. I would love to see them put to a creative use.
