I've been a pianist for 45 years, a music teacher for 25 years, and my question is:
How did you draw that circle so perfectly?

[abelzeliang]

People!! This is knowledge worth thousands of dollars. And Rick is giving it away for free. This is one of the best thing to ever happen on the internet. Thank you 3000 Rick. God bless.

[edphaze]

Rick Beato is the best musical guru to ever grace the internet.

[saketnaik]

Thank you, I'm a 15 y/o in the middle of nowhere and can't afford private classes, plus I wanna make music, and I don't wanna do it just by ear, so imma use this to learn the basics.

[corybarnes]

Ah the positive side of social media. Pedagogy at it's best. I want to nominate Rick Beato, Adam Neely, Aimee Nolte, Tim Pierce, Jens Lawsen and a host of other great people posting this amazing content for a nobel prize.

[Oside]

I’m just going to keep rewatching all of these theory videos until it finally makes sense to me.

[philipkudrna]

I always memorized the modes by „where the Half steps are“: Ionian: 3-4 and 7-8, Aeolian: 2-3 and 5-6. Etc once you know this, the rest with what you need to flatten or sharpen is only a consequence... And „where the half-steps are“ is clearly visible on the piano, if you play only the white keys and start with eg D for Dorian or E for Phrygian etc...

[Destractoid]

I'm going to be honest, as someone who knows almost nothing about music theory this is kind of overwhelming. I understand that it is a lot more information than you usually consume at once, but music theory always feels like it expects you to understand other parts of music theory no matter where you actually start. I always feel the need to ask "before you continue, what do you actually mean by ___".

[samueljames]

Anyone else just in awe at not just Rick's incredible gift at teaching, but at the incredible symmetry and fluidity of music theory. Bless the Good Lor' its beautiful

[jamboy]

A good man, a very good musician, and a great teacher who gives back with every video. An unbeatable combination. WE GOT THE BEATO!!!

[fabiochristian]

This is one of the most precious videos on YT for those who want to learn music. Very clear, fast, with all that really matters. I knew yet about a 70% of that, but it was so useful to understand better and put things in order, and to complete the knowledge of some topics. Greatly appreciated.

[benjaminhawthorne]

Rick, I am enrolling I "Jazz Guitar" at the local school of music next Spring. I have never had a lesson, so I am nervous I won't be able to handle the theory. This course is giving me the confidence to know that I have now seen this stuff before. I have been in a hospital or rehabilitation center for 3 years. You don't know how much I appreciate you putting this out for free. My sister put my life savings into a Trust. So, I don't even have 50cents for a sodapop. I look forward to next year when I have access to my money and can buy your Ear Training & Guitar courses. Peace, God bless you & Merry Christmas!

11:27 : "It‘s goin‘ fast, isn‘t it, right?" 😎
Thank you, sir, for your hands-on, straight-to-the-point approach to imparting knowledge.
Much appreciated!
I have just bought your book.

[ffggddss]

Totally awesome!
You're right on target, saying that different people learn new things in different ways. A fellow amateur performer once asked me after I played & sang a fairly lengthy tune, how I memorized long, complicated lyrics.

I had only thought fleetingly about it before that, and his question has had me trying to answer that for years now. Because I can do that with some songs, but just cannot do it with others that ought to be easier. Best I can come up with is, the ones I manage to memorize, I get a mental picture/movie of, as the story unfolds, and remembering those images, brings the lyrics to mind.

Having been taught piano from a young age, I just learned the circle of fifths, I think by associating the steps in it with some other, now vague, mental images.

So I suppose I'm a visual learner.

OBTW, you might have pointed out, and I hope most of your viewers picked this up, that the order of sharps and flats, simply follows the Co5ths.

Also note that the major scale can be built from the Co5ths. Example: the C-major scale. The roadmap for this is, start with the step 4 of the scale (F), then repeatedly go up a 5th, or down a 4th (which is just the inversion of an upward 5th), whichever stays within the octave spanned by the scale.
So you go:
Start: F
–4th = C
+5th = G
–4th = D
+5th = A
–4th = E
+5th = B,
and you're done, because you've filled up the 7 slots needed. All you have to do then is unscramble the order. ;–)

Years later and millions of subscribers later this is still the best music education channel on YT in my opinion.

[rcjward]

Do you remember the old magnus organs with the push button chords to the left of the keyboard? The order of those buttons is how I learned the circle of 5ths as a child. It was imprinted in my memory at that time. 50 years later I still envision those buttons in my head.
