I read it as "that #4 is really important in your LIVES" and I immediately nodded my head in approval. I can't tell you how many times I just automatically turned a major scale into lydian and made life infinitely better for myself in that moment. ^_^
Brilliant. I'm using everything you're teaching to finally learn to play my guitar. I took Classical Guitar in College but that was fifty years ago. I'm slowly getting used to changing keys. I'll never play like you do but, I'm going to try.
i thought i was starting out way too late but I'm only 19 and here you are at your 50s still with the urge to learn. Guess there really is no such thing as being late when it comes to learning eh? good luck for you sir
"I'll never play like you." One of the WORST statements an artist can tell themselves. Its a self fulfilling prophecy. You should immediately delete "I'll never" from your vocabulary. Best of luck to you & believe in yourself.
@@claudiasolomon1123 Facing your limits is not a defeat. I have arthritis in my hands and I took up the guitar again because O like to play and it's good therapy. I'll never be a good player, I have too many other interests to explore. I'm sure I'll be adequate and I'm fine with that.
That was great because it was so simple. #4, and get that note in your line to make that signature sound. I remember learning modes when I was a kid and it overwhelmed me but this is not overwhelming at all.
Something I realized recently is that if I'm playing in any key signature, and I modify a note to go out of that key, the Lydian fits perfectly. For instance, if I'm playing a melody on C major, and I decide to play an Ab instead of an A natural, I can play the Ab Lydian from that point onwards and it sounds great. And it works in any key signature and in any mode.
Brilliant Rick, can I recommend you look up jazz guitarist Charles Altura, someone I discovered playing Chick Corea and is an absolute genius and has played with some of the top jazz artists in the world at the moment. And is slightly unnoticed
I'm unable to think in "lydian mode": what i always "hear" is a Ionian melody on the IV, and i'm always waiting an end on the I. I tryed to compose something in Lydian just to train my brain, but in the end i was playing on the IV. I don't think i'll ever be able to "switch" my brain mode.
That's F# Aeolian, A major, B dorian, same scale. The scales are the same regardless of the mode. The mode is given by what you are playing in contrast of.
I'm sure you address this somewhere in your catalogue, and I just need to go hunting, but: how can different modes have a different sound, when only considering the 1/3/5 triad? Like, won't Ionian and Lydian 1/3/5 triads all have the same root/double-whole/whole-half sound? So, directly with regard to this video describing the Lydian mode, unless you are hitting that "sharp 4th" in either a chord or arpeggio, it's ambiguous as to whether its a Lydian or Ionian sound, yes? i.e. that "Lydian sound" is *defined* by the sharp 4th, which can be heard in the arpeggios and sharp-4th-including-chords, yes?
How come they all have the same motif? (Every short imo) regardless of lesson structure? Maybe its the string skipping hammer from nowhere thing (Btw) I'm not into jazz so maybe its that (Pinky up feel you get from it)
@@RickBeato Actually, no, I don't hate film scores. Just not in love with this sound the way it's presented here. Someone said "That #4 sounds like a Satch lick" - I've never been into much Joe Satriani, although, I admire him. Someone said Steve Vai... I like him, but don't have any of his albums. Sounds a little like Alan Holdsworth too. I met him at a NAAM show back in the 1980's and was blown away with his chops, but these sounds don't move me the way simpler, sounds do. Fast lines like this are ear candy but I prefer a more neo classical sound with less dissonance. I love your work Rick and watch about every video you put out all the way through. Maybe someday I'll start to appreciate this kind of a jazz sound.
Those runs are so nice. I love how lydian sounds like it never wants to resolve
That's what I love about it to just isnt predictable
That's what I love about it to it's just not predictable
I agree and when listening don’t really ever want it to end

I'll never get over how easy these quick lessons are to grasp.
That F# with the thumb......"LIKE THAT"
That D/F# with a #4 is one of my favorite chords, and I play it in the same way.
when you alex lifeson when youre trying to rick beato
hehe, I also noticed, sometimes I put the thumb last, but he does it first and then the rest of the fingers, which I guess is the correct way 😵
If you have big hands it’s really not hard
One day, One day i will understand your language great sir
He has books on sale
"Like that!" is the best tag line on TH-cam!
He's mesmerizing and when he says "like that"
I do it 👍

Lydian mode is used a lot in Indian classical music where we use natural fourth in descending lines.
I love your shorts man Rick , it's super helpful and inspiring for music lovers that struggle with learning like myself

I watch all his videos. Great teacher
That's a sharp Melody Maker, as well!!

His guitar sound is just amazing...

Beautiful!
Glad youre feeling better too
The Eric Johnson mode
Satriani
And vai
Sound so amazing!
I need this song playing in my car on a windy day. Please put out an album
That’s a lot of what Steve Vai uses!
I hear it and heard some of what Steve Howe does too with big sounding chords.
Satch loves Lydian mode.
I really like all of your stuff :)
Gotta write more in Lydian
I'm unable to think in "lydian mode": what i always "hear" is a Ionian melody on the IV, and i'm always waiting an end on the I. I tryed to compose something in Lydian just to train my brain, but in the end i was playing on the IV. I don't think i'll ever be able to "switch" my brain mode.
If you can think Phrygian and start from the 2nd…
Eric Johnson sound for days
The finger stretch.. LIKE THAT
I Can hear Zappa in that lick , cool
Could this be a dream theater?
Hey Rick! Could you pleasr film a short in which you explain the double Harmonic scale?
This guy is good
Every time he plays that D Maj Sus inversion, he's giving us the finger, lol
I need to learn this
Favourite mode!
When you call it a sharp 4 ..sounds majestic ...call it a flat 5 ...and it's dark
I always think of lydian as ✨️spacy✨️
That's F# Aeolian, A major, B dorian, same scale. The scales are the same regardless of the mode. The mode is given by what you are playing in contrast of.
That was a high for me ♥️
Sounds Zappa-esque, like something off Tinseltown Rebellion.
Nice playing Rick 😎
Cool Rick!
Incredible sound. Any ideas as to what amp or overdrive that is?
Wow that was a Rush!
What is thaty Drone Pedal you use or is it it something else?
Please provide videos in a proper widescreen format.
Back to the future mode!
Roads? Where we are going we don’t need roads.

It’s called Raag Yemen in India, Afghanistan Bangladesh

Always wanted to learn the guitar, am I too old at 74..? Might try the drums instead. Great stuff.
Rick can teach you drums too.
Is there a longer version of this video? So one could learn to play that?
As Miles said, the piano keyboard should have a "middle F" rather than a "middle C"...
May I ask why?
@@chloescat F to F all on white keys is the Lydian mode.
Watched again RANDY RHOADS he the thumb side of this HAND as a whammy bar
Another way of thinking lygian is playing out of a minor scale over a bVI hord, E minor over a C backdrop.
I like these shorts.
Would you do some on ideas over say II V’s or two chords per Bar.
WAH WAH!!! george harrison... good use.
I sometimes forget how great of a player Rick is...that was amazing!
Nice
What is the Chord you are using. I have just been using a single root note to listen but you seem to use chords more
How come they all have the same motif? (Every short imo) regardless of lesson structure? Maybe its the string skipping hammer from nowhere thing (Btw) I'm not into jazz so maybe its that (Pinky up feel you get from it)
I like the lydian scale . Don't use it very often in hard rock.
Joe satriani's mode.
👍🏽 nice
That #4 sounds like a Satch lick
Raag yaman Kalyan in hindustani classical.....
Sa re ga MA pa dha ni Sa......
Ah yes, the Devin Townsend sound.
Like that
Shawn Lydiane
Dood what's that effect he's using there?
That sounds a lot like it just came out of a Dream Theater's song, or a King Crimson's song.
Rick: you just do this… shreds insane music theory lines
Me: wut
OK, but can you play it in 2/3 Bohemian time?
Sounds like Plini
And what do you do with it?
😊
Signature Steve Vai
when's the solo guitar LP coming out? we're waiting.
Call this one Dylian...haha
You should play it with a music man 😉🤌🏻👍🏼
....like that....
Why is it called lydian mode?
Because all the other modes had different names. Sorry, still puzzled, this is all i got.
Because it is named after the ancient Greek people who lived in Lydia?
Bonus question: did they ever play major scales in Asia Minor?
'Cos Mick's a Lydian.
Sounds a bit like Shawn Lane
Like Dat Beatches! Like dat
Very Steve Vai-ish
Not really in love with the Lydian sound. That’s just me.
You must hate film scores

Sounds never at home... Makes sense?
So basically if you want to sound like the simpsons.
Wish he would post tabs for these shorts. Amazing playing
As always, his notes are nice, but way too much distortion.
I want to see this without the pedal tone
Seriously... who actually gleens anything informative from these "quick lessons"?
Poggers
Stuck to the grid again eh?
zappa?
How come you know do much about that stuff..
What are these weird dissonant chords be plays over these videos
