[RickBeato]

There is a really quick moving typo at 4:27. The D# should be F# (#4) The chord C Lydian maj7 should be C F#G B.

[alrecks]

ah yes, when you accidentally play E7Add4Add9Dim6#13/Am7 instead of E7Add4Add9Dim6#11/B7 but the rest of the band didn't even notice

[carsonmitchell]

This guy knows music theory like I know the Taco Bell menu

[gatekeeper]

Makes me want to go back to being a drummer, where all you have to do is give up bathing, learn to count to four, and grunt.

[mdarrenu]

You lost me after "Hi I'm Rick Beato"

[joshuafiji]

After being a musician for the better part of 12 years, I find this video to be the most helpful thing I have ever watched

[nitroseeks]

And thats why learning music theory on a piano is so much easier than on a guitar

[adamburger]

Awesome Rick!- Bought the book a while back. Music Theory is so addictive, once you start putting it all together- It takes some time for sure, but it's so freakin' worth it- I remember when I took a class at Santa Monica College, (because I was so frustrated I couldn't learn the modes!) - But one day in class, everything just clicked in my little brain, and I was so excited, I almost had to leave the classroom! ..lol- That was a great day, and I've been hooked ever since- great video man

[AnomieTrain]

The older I get, the more it hurts my brain trying to learn new things

[thomasmcgill]

You are the best at explaining theory for all of us to understand!

[timothyissler]

Being a music student in college and having just finished my intro to music class, I'm loving this video and channel. Your passion is inspiring.

[PapaWheelie]

On my to-do list right after learning calculus and Vietnamese

[kellyjohnson]

What is especially awesome about this video and unlike 99% of ALL other videos no matter the subject, is that he opened and got to it! No bs around the water cooler and opinions, just the facts man (or maam). Great!

[danteluza]

Wow! You solved in less than ten minutes one of the biggest gaps in my self taught music theory. You are doing an amazing job Rick. Thanks a lot!!!

[TheLightOfRoofing]

Piano and guitar examples were big help. Gave me a much more impactful impression of the sound and the theory.

[mance]

I’ll be watching this video for a while. I’m definitely going to buy the Book soon. 🙏🏽✊🏽 Thank you very much Mr. Beato.

[AnonymousCaveman]

Been playing for about 12 years and never been really educated on this section of guitar. Was always just had lessons to cover songs. After I did music GCSE and a levels I started researching where I can. This is the first time someones explained this to me so I REALLY appreciate it.

[campparsonssundayschool]

About 40 + years ago I made flash cards and memorized all the major triads. So important to know. Right on Rick.

[OliverBooks]

Holy crap! That clarified so many questions I consistently have when labeling chords! Thanks Rick!

[ViperoK]

This is probably the most useful video I've seen since I started playing. Figuring out chords and anything music theory related has always been a pain and you made it a lot easier, much appreciated!
