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.
Also at 2:22 for Sus2?
@@craignowak Where?
@@rickbeato2 Ha! It was there a minute ago. The text (which is now gone), showed 1-4-5 for both sus2 and sus4
Might be your most educational video yet. Thanks.
ok
ah yes, when you accidentally play E7Add4Add9Dim6#13/Am7 instead of E7Add4Add9Dim6#11/B7 but the rest of the band didn't even notice
Al R 😁
LMAO
😅
Unless you're gigging with Tosin Abasi
Happens to me all the time. When I drink 18 shots of Jameson, rather than my usual 15 - I start slippin' a bit. And when I say slippin', I mean I will forget entire verses and end songs like 2 minutes early.
This guy knows music theory like I know the Taco Bell menu
Carson Mitchell Yeah and I thought I knew Taco Bell too but apparently no more grilled stuffed burrito so now I am at a total loss.
@@KingPhoey taco bell is dead to me until they bring back the grilled stuffed burrito.
They brought back the rolled chicken tacos and Yum brands stock shot up instantly!!! Those things are legit 😂
I wonder if TB will ever bring back the lava sauce meals
WOW! Carson makes a mild joke about how well Rick knows theory, and you guys take the discussion into TACOS?????!!!!!! YIKES!!!
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.
Don’t forget to break stuff
And not get any gigs ever :)
And just bash a few things!
a prog-rock or jazz drummer might need to know some more counting
I hate these stereotypes, like;
What do you call a drummer who's single? Homeless.
What's the difference between a drummer and a drum machine?
You only need to punch the information into a drum machine once........
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
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
Lovely inspiring commentary on the successes of learning music theory - quite opposite most comments on the subject. You rock. Thank you for the inspiration
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.
You lost me after "Hi I'm Rick Beato"
hahaha
LOL (literally) :-)
Michael Ullman well he’s talking extremely quick. I thought I knew theory but if you speed up theory it turns out I just lost everything I knew.
I’m just kidding. There’s tons of theory. It’s endless. I have what I need but I always need more. I was lucky enough to take lessons growing up. But I didn’t get everything that’s for sure. Thx mom and dad rip. 💔
You would have to totally know what hes talking about in order to know what hes talking about..
Piano and guitar examples were big help. Gave me a much more impactful impression of the sound and the theory.
You are the best at explaining theory for all of us to understand!
Thanks Tom!
well, not ALL of us...
Nope he definitely ain’t
@@minatofrusciante2574 I want you to find someone else who’s this good with music theory and is even half the teacher Rick is
@@WillieTaggett what/who is that in your picture, also i like your name
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!
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!!!
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!
On my to-do list right after learning calculus and Vietnamese
I was reading the comments and yours is so funny I nearly choked...I love music theory ...of course I tutored calc trig and general math in collage when I went to study music...mind you this was in the seventies where even the math instructor went stoned to class...seriously.
@@MegaGuitman - haha maybe that’s why I failed math. Needed more weed
And thats why learning music theory on a piano is so much easier than on a guitar
It's nice to have a keyboard around to help with this stuff.
True piano layout is easier in my opinion
I’ll be watching this video for a while. I’m definitely going to buy the Book soon. 🙏🏽✊🏽 Thank you very much Mr. Beato.
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.
This video is a gold mine. I don't even play guitar, but that piano bit was all the information I could ever need.
There are quite an infinite amount of chords in music, it gives so much variety and possibilities indeed! Of course, it is way important and helpful when you can identify a chord to determine countless factors in a musical piece. Thank you for the advice and knowledge!
Except there's not an infinte amount of chords in music, as they all have function in one way or another, the same way there's not an infinite amount of keys in music (tonal based or 12 tone etc.)
@@Juzernejmnakurov2 It's more or so an exaggeration to emphasize the bigger picture that there is so much variety for so much possibility.
@@RC32Smiths01 Sure, I would imagine you're coming from a limitless imagination standpoint and that's where the magic in music makes my life woth living. Especially given the fact that there's an exact spectrum of sounds that our minds can perceive/react to.
Now I'm no mathematician, but I believe as there are 11 unique notes in the chromatic scale there should be something like 11! (or 39,916,800, which is a lot less than "an infinite amount") note juxtapositions possible, including individual notes. But then there would be 39,916,799 options to follow your first note/chord, and then 39,916,799 options to follow that one, etc. And then you can put chords on top of chords, or have two melodic lines running parallel in different keys...Still ain't infinite, but it's definitely a helluva lot of possibilities.
@@creamcheese65 I'm not an English professor, but I can tell you that "quite an infintie" is one of those fatuous phrases like totally unique or a bit prgenant. It's a shame people can't get a grip on what an absolute is and how to use it.
Holy crap! That clarified so many questions I consistently have when labeling chords! Thanks Rick!
Rick, you are becoming one of my favorites on TH-cam for theory. Will definitely be checking out the book, thank you for all you do!
About 40 + years ago I made flash cards and memorized all the major triads. So important to know. Right on Rick.
Dang!!! I wish I would've been taught that 30 years ago!!! This actually makes it SO much easier to understand. Thanks for a great video Rick Beato!!!
After playing guitar for 25 years and giving up on theory long ago, this is best explanation I've ever seen! Thanks!!!
Having picked my way through theory all these years of playing, I’ve found myself at an impasse of ‘knowing some things but now knowing why’ having built up my theoretical library without any help from a teacher (actually got told to go away and not bother one teacher with this) that I was getting so bored of playing.
im so glad that when I have a question there are now loads of videos to filter through- back in the early 2010’s there were very few people doing this kind of content- this video was a big ‘Aha!’ Moment which hs now brought to buying your book- cheers mate
That video was worth the price of the book! Thank you so much!
This video defines why I love this channel. Thanks Rick for sharing.
Very useful lesson Rick. Good job. 👍😀
The older I get, the more it hurts my brain trying to learn new things
My brain doesn't hurt, it just starts to itch...
THANK you Rick!!! Was literally taking notes during this video! Need to start memorizing the notes in every key as well as the 12 major triads, but this video was super interesting and really helps to solve the mystery behind naming chords. Will definitely need to check out the Beato Book too!
There's not a better explicated video than this. Best teacher on TH-cam by far. I really needed this video 10 years ago :(
This is one of your best videos yet. Very clear, concise, and informative.
As soon as I heard F#7(add4), Hemispheres started playing in my head... and then he brings up Xanadu, of course. Both great albums -- they were really hitting their stride here. Circumstances absolutely rips - lot of time signatures in a small package. Struggled to pull that one off on the ol' Rickenbacker for many a sleepless night. Wonder if I can still do it...
This video is fricking awesome -- a succinct, practical guide. Thank you!
Same here. As soon as I heard the Fmaj7#4 I thought "Almost there..." and then came the Lifeson chord, and Xanadu started ringing in my head.
I got a little giddy about that. Alex Lifeson uses so many interesting and unique chords. So much fun to play.
One of the best instructional lessons ive ever seen..Thanks for this Rick!!!!
My admiration knows no bounds Rick. So many years of making music and you are still prepared to teach the AbSoLute BasiCs!
I really though you had to know this to follow your videos in the first place. :)
Excellent lesson, Rick! I'm 50, been playing since 8th grade. Learned/confirmed several things with this one. Thanks.
As a science and math person, I appreciate a lot that you explained the formulas for forming the different chords, that makes it so much easier to understand, thanks a lot! I like your channel!
This is the best channel on YT! thanks Rick
I've been wanting this for over a decade, thanks a lot... will be checking out your book for sure.
Merry Christmas, Rick. You are a great teacher and I wish you much success in the coming year.
This was more helpful to me than you could imagine. First time I've heard it broken down past major and minor into the other 2 types of chords. And then the threee varieties of adding the 7th, or 4th note too the chord. Thank you rick
Thanks for posting this video. As an older beginner, with no previous music theory training, I have been struggling with this stuff. The book is starting to make sense!
Rick is a saviour to all musician that is studying alone.
Thank you so much !!! This video really helped understand chord progressions even more.
Thank u Rick beato. Ur a great teacher in music.
Worth the view... just to hear that wonderful chord from Xanadu.
Thank you so much...Rick and Tomo
Are the best teacher alive
I've needed this for decades. Thank you.
Thanks Rick - that was actually your best lesson for me so far
This is the most succinct and helpful explanation for chords I've ever seen. Thanks!
This is pure gold!! Thank you Rick :)
You simplified it for me! Something clicked for me today! Thank you!
count whole notes up in pitch = sharp , whole notes down in pitch = flat .. well presented .. thanks Rick ..! cheers .. merci ..!
Always good info thanks Rick. Merry Christmas man. 🙏🎉
on the 1:02 , to understand the graph, you need to take a look from the top ‘C’, and look to it’s right which is ‘G’ which is the perfect fifth note of C.
and you could look at ‘G’, and see the right of it which is ‘D’, which is the perfect fifth of ‘G’.
the idea to memorize the diagram is to reduce your time of thinking (reduce duration of counting from base chord to it’s perfect fifth, and spend that time for something else [probably making arrangements or determining chord variations]).
another idea of it is to think easily of what’s the component of chord, because since you already understand the 1 & 5 part of a chord, you could add the 3 easily. and hopefully you could recognize chords easier after understanding the diagram and training your ears.
this is how I understand it, took me awhile because my brain keeps telling me “oh it’s a complicated and messed up diagram, don’t look at it”. but it’s not as scary as it looks.
thankyou rick beato. I’m gonna train on music basic and theory since my 7 year of guitar playing all revolves around learning chords, melody on my own understanding. I haven’t touch the basic and still bad at being reliable in music/guitar playing.
RB is such an easy teacher to follow mostly because of the way he shares his information, which is with passion. It's a calling, if i dare say...Tx RB 👍😃🎸🎵🎶🎼
Love the dissolving, moving text - very classy.
Just wanted to say thanks Rick. I'm a musical moron. Been playing over thirty years and I've never really understood this. Watching this video, suddenly the light turned on! I wish I could support you more. You deserve it. I'm barely eking by as it is. And, I just became a grampa! (I can't believe it!). Thanks for all your hard work. I really appreciate it.
I've settled on a method these days where I treat the note in the bass as the root (I mostly play piano/keyboards) and build up the chord from there, or sometimes use a slash chord notation when it makes sense. For example, A in the bass and C-E-G I would wrote as Amin7 or C/A. I think this is the way Donald Fagen approaches chord conventions and it makes sense to me.
Loved you on Tangentially Speaking with Chris! He's been saying about you for years! To see it happen finally was satisfying! I'm a amateur amateur guitarist and love both your guys' stuff! First few chords, especially the Fmaj with the b and e string open was very STPish. I wish I had these videos ten years ago in high school when I tried to teach myself chord theory. Ibfound it a valuable challenge, but wouldve saved a lot of time! This distilled weeks of learning scale notes and shapes.
Rick, you are a musical god. Thank you for what you bring to us lowly musicians with only a tenth of what you know.
This is wonderfully concise and insightful, absolutely beautiful the way it was conveyed. Thank you so much for your content, Rick. It surpasses all other theory content that I have ever come across, and is just seriously quality stuff. Words can’t adequately convey just how applicable, palatable, entertaining and ultimately crucial your content is to others, particularly those of us who haven’t been able to access such info or make it work via other means. Thank you for doing what you do, and doing it so well. 👍🏼👍🏼
This information is priceless. I wish I was smart enough to fully absorb it. 🙏🏼
It would be interesting to do a social experiment/group session with people typing in the chat the emotions/memories they felt after listening to each chord or progression. Sort of like a vote. I think it will help define some of the uncharted relationships between chords/emotions.
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!!!
Beautifully done, thank you very much !
Keeps me on my toes.... Really enjoyed.. THX
Thank god I play in punk rock bands. Rick, you are the man, thanks for these vids!
That's the most crucial things i need for my guitar progress explained so easily! Thanks Beato-sensei
There is always nice to know all of that but there are loads of amazing tunes composed by the people without this knowledge but they have very sharp sense of hearing the harmony without naming it instead.
I see these triad formulas on my Beato coffee mug every morning!
Thanks Rick! I've only just memorised those major triads so this was super useful, you're a legend!
Greatest and shortest video on the topic!
Thank you so much!
D over F# is also know as D first inversion.......D over A is D second inversion. Or any chord with the 3rd in the bass is a first inversion......or the 5th in the bass is the 2nd inversion
08:03 when you played that D/F#, I was like: "Wait! that's the first chord of Betterman by Pearl Jam." and then I grabbed my guitar and learned how to play Betterman. thanks for the inspiration/motivation by just one chord 🤙🏻
Pearl Jam uses a lot lot of cool chords!
I have done that with other songs before
This is fun stuff. I’m mostly self taught, and have played most of these over the years, great to finally have the theory to go with it. Thanks Rick
I love your lessons, thank so much for your effort Rick! I didn't know what the "something over something" chord meant before watching this.
I like the part where you name the major chords with the added open B and E strings. That is a good exercise, but there is one odd thing -- when you have both a third and a fourth, is that called "add 4" and not "suspended 4"? If so, it applies both to B major and to F♯7. That naming issue is a little confusing. By the way, what you once said in another video about suspended 2, 4, and 6 really helped me a lot. Playing around with 2, 4, and 6 tones with major chords (I, IV and V, as in C, F, G or G, C, D or A, D, E) seems to be a really good exercise in a few ways. I think it's the best thing for beginners to learn, as soon as they learn those chords.
Thankyou sir xx always love getting a lesson on theory from a master 🤘🏼 love from Liverpool.
wow thanks Rick, I'll be taking notes on this video
Hey Rick. This short lesson is so helpful! Thank you very much for this
It's so easy. Thanks Rick!
Thank you professor Beato. Definitely valuable information!
thank you very much! this is the tutorial I've been looking for so long!
Sometimes you just need a dose of the Beato Basics

RUDY AYOUB INTESIFIES
Wait, I fucked up. Its 035
Rudy still would approve tabbing that riff wrong lol
Excellent explanation easy to understand with the graphics etc THANKS! Perhaps a followup with 6th's, 9th's, etc?
Thank you Rick! This is really helpful :)
"If you simply learn the entirety of the periodic table of elements, you too can be a chemical engineer."
For me, the process of naming an unusual chord has always been to rearrange the chord as a series of stacked thirds. So if you're looking at a chord that's written as Ab-Bb-Eb-G, you rewrite it so that it's Eb-G-Bb-Ab making it an Eb Major11.
Why did you start with Eb?
@@FireGrizzlyy because you want to arrange the chord by thirds. If you started with G you would run into problems by Ab unless you want to spell your chord as a Gmin 13 b9. By analyzing the chord and rearranging it so that the notes ascend by thirds the chord is easier to classify and recognize at a glance.
Since there’s no 7, I think formally it’s not an 11 but an Eb add4 chord. You can use 9, 11 and 13 only when the 7 is present.
If the note added is above the main chord and not in between the notes [ie : Eb(3) G(3) Bb(3) Ab(4) vs Eb(3) G(3) Ab(3) Bb(3)] would it not make more sense to write it as an Eb(add11) chord?
This is a neat trick. Thanks.
I just bought your pdf book online. Thank you for sharing!!
I found this stuff made more sense to me after learning to build chords from each note of the major scale. If you do that you see why some are major and some minor and then you can get more complex from there.
Very interesting! Up to this point, I'd never heard of mode names being used in chord descriptions. But it does make sense.
Yes, it's those cross references that make it interesting :-)
I take it this is your first ever Rick Beato video?
Best explanation of chords I've heard, talking as a non musician.
1 3 and 3 higher is a diminished. A major is 1 4 3 and a minor is 1 3 4. Those are on the keyboard with 1 being the first note, then the second number is how far away the second key is that you play then the third is how far away from the second key/not to play. That is about as much as I know.
Wow! This lesson really launched my understanding forward. Thx.
I need to get his book so much knowledge in music been playing for 3 decades and trying to keep up
What a great teacher
This guy explained what i wanted to learn for years
Yes. This. I'm a noob who accidentally finds "cool" or "interesting" chords, but can't name any of them without needing to BS some nomenclature 😂
Gotta do some memorization and pick up a Beato book!
Thanks, Rick!
I used to have a chord book from the late 70's. Like a "thousand chords" or something simple like that. Just the diagram of the fingerboard with dots and the name of the chord. No words on how or why or when they work in relation. It was too much for my pre teen brain. I latched onto a few that I liked, but now I wish I still had that book.
@@jmpsthrufyre Get a Beato book and a chord dictionary and start putting them together.
