I Made This Video But Never Released It...

Back in 2017 my son Dylan and I made a video on his perfect pitch. This video is a documentary on how that video was made. I'm putting this out out in advance of the release my new Beato Ear Training Program.

Underneath this incredible demonstration there was even a more important message: the father-son relationship, memories, the good stuff in life

[herseem]

Just watching it again, I noticed that when you said, "I'm running out of things that are difficult to do, so I got an idea - check this out" - and Dylan smiled in anticipation. That is no tortured child slave as some have bizarrely suggested, that is a child that is challenged in a way that he enjoys the challenge. It's lovely to see, and it means you're doing a good job as a dad. I do my best to do the same thing.

[TayLybb]

Not just perfect pitch, but incredible theory knowledge.

"How much of my forearm are mashing keys?"
"4.59 inches"
"Metric?"
"116.6mm"
"And as I lay my face on the keyboard, which keys are my ear pressing?
"C# and D#"

Rick: “Ok Dylan, what’s this cluster?”
Dylan: “A sharp B flat seven over nine minor F twenty eight alpha squared over hydrogen M cubed 74 degrees”
Everyone else: ....☠️

[jsolan]

More than perfect pitch, perfect dad dedication ...

[jordandangelo]

That was insane. I studied at a conservatory and I took ear training and I’ve never seen anyone, never mind a very young kid, name notes of chords and chord names by ear so fast. That truly was impressive. Dylan you are the man and your father has taught you well. You’re a lucky kid.

[noso_stephen]

So I’m going to respond like a dad. I love this video because of Rick’s laughter. You can hear just how proud, amazed, and joyful he gets when he hears his boy perform such an awesome feat. Rick so obviously loves his son and I’m sure these videos are going to be cherished by Dylan when he grows up.

Archive these videos and put back them up on tape. Store them away, because one day he’ll be looking for them, to show his family, to show your grandkids. You’ll never regret doing that

[dscarson]

Great video, as usual, but also very touching--my own dad died in 1965, when I was just 7 years old, and like you I would love to have something like this to remember our short time together. 54 years ago a week from today. Thank you for sharing not only your musical talents with us, but also your obvious love of family, friends, and General Goodness.

[clivehorridge]

Dylan is unbelievable, period.
I can’t imagine anyone being able to do what he’s learned, even after a full adult lifetime.
This must be on a par with the ability of some of the most respected composers of all time.
Hats off to you Rick and the enthusiasm and ability of young Dylan, it’s wonderful and immensely impressive.

[rcjward]

Rick, I love your simultaneous laughter and pride in reacting to Dylan’s answers! I totally understand why you just have to laugh at his amazing gifted ability.

[corystajduhar]

Not only does he recognize the notes, he is able to remember all the notes he hears. Incredible!

[RandyLott]

If he can listen that well, he's going to have the happiest wife to ever exist.

"Honey, I realize you are speaking to me in Lydian Augmented again. Let's try to get that to Major Pentatonic."

[hermannschmidt]

And then Dylan went off to become an investment banker.

[abrahamdylan]

This is amazing on all levels, Rick. Your pride, Dylan’s UNBELIEVABLE talent, the father/son relationship. I honestly got chills.

[megadethmofo]

I would give anything to be able to do that. I'm a professional/amateur, tab reading guitarist. His ability is absolutely jaw dropping.

[mcflyboarder]

You’ve created a genius. The force is strong in this one.

[qwqwqwqw]

This blows my mind. Had he been born to other parents, this potential could have been totally ignored/never developed.

[scottdepledge]

Ive watched many of your videos, the ones that really get me are when you talk about your family. You are a very good parent and you had very good parents. I appreciate what you bring to Youtube with so much crap out there.

[sirbaronvoncount]

Rick I am roughly your age (51) and the father of 4 grown children. You deserve a parenting Grammy. I am envious of Dylan’s ear and his dad. This is a truly awesome thing to behold and if Dylan chooses a career in music I have no doubt he will succeed. Even after a lifetime of playing guitar and learning to play songs the old fashioned way ( with trial and error and a record player by tuning to the recording ) I am still in awe of those with perfect pitch. Take care man great content
thx
