I've been playing 60 years, and your videos inspire me to keep learning. The Mark Knopfler one was a classic. Thank you Rick from beautiful Finistere (France) ;-)

[_left_eye]

It’s crazy how things one may already know appears completely something else, if approached in a different way. This is literally enlightening Rick!

[WhaleBluePRS]

If you see this Rick, thank you! I took lessons in Binghamton NY around 1986 or so from a TERRIFIC jazz guitarist named Tim Schumacher. He moved to Philadelphia a month or two after I started. Like your first teacher, I learned pretty much everything I needed to know to get me going. I figured all of the stuff you presented tonight on my own, with much exploration and experimentation on my own. I've now been teaching private lessons for almost 14 years. I teach exactly what you teach, almost verbatim. Thank you for affirming that I'm doing "good" by my students. I'm not a college educated guy, just a guy that worked his butt off in the pursuit of excellence. I have more doubts than you can shake the proverbial stick at. This video made a difference for me. A blessing to be sure! Thank you! Lee Campbell

As an intermediate (ish) player this has helped me usefully connect a bunch of theory (scales, arpeggios, etc) with their relative placement on the fretboard and practical use. Amazing value from a one hour video. Thank you.

[taggart]

I have the Beato ultimate bundle…4 courses that actually give you the toolbox for playing guitar effectively. I would say its worth every penny folks.Great work.

[jimifritz]

I have been playing guitar my whole life, I went to M.I. The Denver guitar institute (now gone) The Dallas School of music, I toured for 12 years and I still tour regionally, i have recorded 9 albums 10 singles and 2 videos….I have taught guitar now for over 12 years…..I purchased the entire Beato course because as a musician you can live 3 lifetimes and still be scratching your head trying to take it all in…..Rick is the real deal and so are his courses….it does not matter how long you’ve been playing you must never stop learning about the guitar and music, it’s the only way to separate yourself from all the others that play only by ear….I have opened for Def Leppard, Megadeth, Rob zombie, George Lynch, Prong, Overkill, Symphony X, Metal Church, Loudness (from Japan) HellYeah, Hank 3 and I once played on stage with Dime…..I’m always learning and so should you! Good luck with everyone’s playing

[actionoriented]

Honestly the best fret board mastery / walk through I’ve seen of this length. Rick has such an amazing way of taking the most complex concepts and merging the theory + position concepts and is more effective in an hour than most are in three hours. This lesson should be table stakes for every player - it would have saved me a tremendous amount of confusion.

[superek]

Rick the major scale to major pentatonic link is so obvious and genius!!! It has unlocked my playing tremdously. Your guitar teacher really knew what he was teaching. Thank you so much!

[jazzsongs]

An incredible lesson. I spent so many years with teachers who only focussed on technique and never even once mentioned this theory. Thank You Rick! You are beyond a Musical Teaching Genius!

[eokaa]

the fact you give these helpful lessons for free is incredible, your videos always make sense of things that in high school band my teacher couldn't quite make so simple and its much appreciated dude.

[AnnieB]

You cannot imagine Rick how much I appreciate this. You really make it easy! I'm 34 and rediscovered how much I like playing guitar (although I'm not that good). I'm looking forward to get better again, and this really helps:).

[JimmyGallowayGuitar]

Anytime you put these videos out- I immediately send them to my students and encourage them to buy your Book- you've done so much work for me to help fast track these students all over the world. It is a crash course- it was all 4 years of college for me, and you combined jazz and classical approaches. Invaluable.

[elissaaleph]

Amazing hour of lesson! I'm taking it in 10 minute intervals and practising until I get it right.

[tamuccal]

Great knowledge as always! Thank you for all of the free content, more than most would give away in their shorter videos. It’s much appreciated

[terrellgruber]

Rick is so fortunate to get such a good teacher. When i started guitar in 64 good teachers were not easy to come by.

[johnstitt]

Even Rick’s technical difficulties are gold. Luv the channel.

[davidfox]

I’m glad to see an instruction video again, Professor! This info is crucial to aspiring musicians

[thebeaun]

What a fantastic resource this is. I have a similar experience. I took three guitar lessons from a jazz guitarist in Santa Barbara in 1972. Those lessons lasted until I stumbled upon Rick.

[pupilmusic]

Wow the first 20 mins are incredible 😮. I learned to play major and minor separately, but combining them makes the relation as easy to understand as it is on piano. 🙏
