Beato is so knowledgeable and presents with such enthusiasm he could run a segment on the Banana Splits or Milli Vanilli and I would think they were the greatest artists of all time.

Rick is the ultimate music appreciation teacher.

Rick B: There are only a handful of people in the world that are accomplished in the entire spectrum of music (player, producer, equipment knowledge, etc.), and you're one of them. Thank you for sharing your amazing gift.

It's videos like this that first attracted me to this channel when I first discovered it, probably about five years ago. Tons of information, zero waffle. I love this - just clear, concise information, perfectly demonstrated and explained. There's not another youtuber I can think of who would cover this much information in just 7 minutes. Brilliant stuff.

Jerry Cantrell uses the same scale sometimes. Love Hate Love is a good example.

The speed that Rick applies what's in his mind to the fretboard is totally amazing. Especially with such complex chords and patterns. I've been playing guitar for about 40 years and when I see Rick effortlessly soloing & using scales like the ones in this video, it lets me know just how much I don't know about guitar and how much there still is to learn. Rick, you inspire me to always keep learning and never settle for 'good enough'. Thank you.

Reminds me of Andalucía where I was born. Never learned to read music, made sure that my kids did, so I brought a music teacher into the world. All kids need music first, in their lives.

I remember when this came out it was the same year August is Falling was touring through Ottawa. That was a hell of a show!!!

Tool Phrygian Rules! Glad to see you go over so many genres and bands.

There are those with data (the tech). There are those with knowledge (the theory). There are those with skills (the chops). There are those who feel (the push). And there are those who listen (the heart).
And then there is Rick Beato who wraps all these things together, masterfully at peace in purpose; powerfully humble and wise, lucidly being Music.

Thank you Rick.

I play a lot of Opeth and this is one of the most common scales that Akerfeldt uses as well.

[minibuns]

Damn so much mood in that piece was totally caught off guard. The feeling. Delightful. Uncertain. Defined. Humble. Underestimated. Gripping. Absolute control. Possession. I’d buy the album.

[philosophyjones]

Yes! An old-school Rick music theory vid 👍👍👍 THESE are what I originally subscribed for back in the day

[felipemuci]

I discovered this channel a few days ago. Isn't it amazing to be able to watch years of the very best and most unique videos about music for the first time?

Wow! I just can't get enough of it!

[RCAvhstape]

Jeez, Rick you even crush the piano like a boss. That last piece was freaking amazing!

[MrKrOn]

More of these kind of videos please...mostly for your compositions and examples and usages of every scale/mode etc.

[aeon.g]

Beautiful Phrygian dominant composition . I really enjoyed the juxtaposition of light and dark tones coming in and out of each other.

[fishingandfightingpodcast]

That piece at the end deserves it’s own film! 👏🏻🖤🎼

[rowegardner]

Love these kinds of harmony focused videos from Rick. More please!

It’s so epic and when you put it on a backdrop it makes even better sense
