I loved that Keith came back and asked Rick questions too. I think that shows how relaxed he was. Rick is a master of getting people to forget their being interviewed.
I just met Keith Urban 90 minutes ago outside of the bluebird cafe here in Nashville. He’s my idol for 20 years. He was so nice and listening to me ramble. He’s well known in Nashville for being so sweet to fans.
Keith is such a cool dude. About 12 years ago I auditioned for American Idol in Chicago. I made it past the producer auditions and got a chance to do the TV audition. I was very raw and the audition did not go as well as I would have liked. Randy, Mariah, and Nicky gave me curt "no's" but Keith took the time to talk to me. He asked if I had ever got voice lessons. I said I had not and was untrained. He encouraged me to get some training and said he heard an instrument that could be developed but had not been trained. I was devastated at the time but I held to his advice sought out a voice teacher and began a path of learning how to sing and finding so much more enjoyment in music. I am grateful that he encouraged me that I could be better. Those judges work long days on those auditions and he didn't have to take the time but I think he remembers all the encouragement he received and how much it helped him.
He was such a good, compassionate judge and his authentically being a fan of music, and "feeling" toward the contestants came through. He just seems like a good dude. Tks for sharing that story and I'm glad his "mentoring" advice helped you on your musical journey. Shows how for an artist, or just someone yearning to try and do something, how delicate a thing it is for them to put things out there and how easily a word, opinion, coming from anyone, insensitive or helpful, can truly make an impression and difference.
I think Keith Urban's goal is to encourage. He had many critics in his very early years and he used it for fuel to push on. He's a very compassionate guy because he's been there in judged contests. He would really love hearing about you and your story Hope you are doing well with your music 🎶

Keith's Crossroads "duet" with John Mayer was absolutely top and for anyone who doesn't know how great a guitar player he is, watching him with Mayer tells you all you need to know. If I had my wish, Mr Urban and Mr Mayer would tour together from time to time, especially here in England and Europe and I know the demand for tickets would be enormous. For me, it's guitars first, but they are great singers, harmonise together like they were born to it and the combination of Urban and Mayer songs is second to none. I just need some ruby slippers to make my wish on...
I saw Keith perform two nights ago in the local Bucee’s parking lot (Athens,AL.) He performed a free show that was only announced a few hours beforehand. About 10,000 people showed up. Before the show he was inside the Bucee’s preparing brisket for the customers. The show was phenomenal and Keith is as humble as a superstar can possibly be.
My thoughts as well. I'm not crazy about Country, and I don't generally care for Keith's music, but he's always come across as a very down to earth, normal type of guy...not just a celebrity with a production team.
Keith’s guitar playing is amazing. I used to listen to more country and found Keith with Golden Road and stayed with him until about 10 years ago, but everytime I hear a song of his… I always generally like it. Never really feels like country tho - more country rock or pop rock.
I don’t usually comment on social media but this interview warmed my heart. I immediately remembered seeing a young boy playing in a cover band on a truck bed outside of the Bundaberg distillery in Queensland many years ago. At that time I had no idea who he was and didn’t even know he could sing. Over the years that young boy turned into a musician that continues to warm my heart, not just for his music but for the joy, enthusiasm and humility he brings to his art. A lovely interview Rick and Keith
I’m from Australia… he’s very well known amongst a very wide audience of musicians here. And the verdict is always the same. He’s never forgotten where he’s from or been anything other than humble
Ok, I don’t listen to country music…I’ve never consciously listened to a Kieth urban song and yet…WHAT AN AMAZING musician, communicator and artist. How did I come to those conclusions? Well, because Rick Beato is the most knowledgeable and thoughtful interviewer ANYWHERE. Line of the interview, Kieth says to Rick, “I could talk to you all day”. Thank you Rick for a tremendous interview!!!
Reading others' comments paints a clear picture of your interviews Rick. You ask questions that make people feel comfortable. You're not looking for the gotcha moment and your interviewees sense your tone. I could watch your interviews forever. Thank you for being you and caring about mining the best from them to leave a musical legacy.
That was one of THE BEST interviews I've ever seen. These two gelled so well. Rick, you asked such great questions geared towards a true guitar phenom. And Keith is such an open, down-to-earth guy and has so many fascinating insights. I could watch this conversation all day.
@@softailspringer9915 It would be amazing to see a McCartney interview conducted by Rick. I mean, it would go beyond the usual, clichéd questions about how 'Yesterday' came to him in a dream and all that stuff he's answered a million times.
I can see the joy in his expression from playing the most simple chords. Pure joy that music gives back to anyone at any level. Guys like Keith are everyone's inspiration, no matter what your genre of music is.
Rick, I’m in no way an expert of any kind when it comes to music. I don’t play an instrument but do enjoy listening to music of all types. Your channel has created a different level of interest for me in music, I know I’ll never be a musician but I’m beginning to gain a greater appreciation for what I’m listening to and what it takes to create good music versus not so great. Thank you and kudos to you for getting Keith Urban on the channel. PS: One of my all time favorite albums for chilling to some great guitar playing is called Guitarra de Passion by Juan Carlos Quintero. I highly recommend it.
That's awesome, but you just might become a musician. Never say never. I like to think every single person has something creative to share. And yeah, these interviews are priceless. Being a musician myself it's always so fun to hear their perspective.
My guitar teacher's wife can't play any instruments either, but she has an amazing ear and can hear the nuances and details of the music like an experienced musician. She enjoys music in a very fresh way and in a deep almost spiritual level. Listening to music with her is a joy. You are developing that and I believe we need more people like that.
Thank you Rick, for letting me hang out in the room and listen in on you guys. The genuine smiles of you and your guests at the end of the session brings tears to me.
This is a fabulous interview-one of the best I've seen! You mentioned Mary Martin, and I haven't thought of her in years. She used to come into my garden center in Nashville (Moore & Moore), and we would talk forever. She was one of the coolest people I knew..
Glad to see this one. In my Nashville years, I was supporting Curb records artist, Shane McAnally and wound up on a radio station promo gig with Keith, who had just launched his solo career after his band The Ranch had folded, in Mobile, Alabama. After out set, Keith came up and paid me some nice compliments on my playing and I returned them after his set. We stayed at the same hotel and hit the Waffle House after the gig and jammed in a hotel room until the wee hours. Months later, I ran into him at the Sportsman's Grille restaurant in Nashville and we had a brief reunion in the parking lot where I was letting my dog out of the car and he said how much he loved my dog. We wound up on festival bills several times over the years and I have enjoyed watching him blossom as an artist and achieve such success.
I'm a hard rock metal head and absolutely have fallen in love with Keith's offerings. Amazing musician/ artist. As with most people he's been the soundtrack of my love life...only his has turned out much better. Thank you Keith for what you do!!!
His rendition of to love somebody by the Bee Gees is the best song I have ever listened to, and it still brings tears to my eyes. He owned that song that night.
I'm a rock guy whose been to 100s of shows. When I saw Keith Urban, it was such an incredible show. Highly recommend if you're on the fence about seeing him live.
@@smpratherhe’s got some songs that anyone can appreciate check out -faster car , somebody like you, you’ll think of me , days go by, told you so , stupid boy, raise the barn.
So thrilled to hear you mention " Sneakin Sally". So much soul on that album. "How Much Fun" is my go to when I'm over thinking driving myself into the ground about something. It always makes me smile. Out of all the people in the whole Keith....you are in my top 5 of people I would love to meet just to say "THANK YOU" for what you've given. No selfies...no autographs....just...THANK YOU
I just continue to be amazed at the quality of Rick's interviews/conversations. Keith is so authentic, down to earth and articulate. His passion for his music and music in general comes through loud and clear. Really enjoyed this!
Good old Kiwi , moved over to Queensland , Australia . Lived down the road in Caboulture . His Mum lives here in the Sunshine coast . Great talent and super nice guy.
Dakabin High! I had a mate who showed me his old class photos, in which there was a little sandy-haired K.Urban. We used to compete against them in sports, but I think Keith was spending all his time playing guitar ... time well spent!
I absolutely love Keith Urban’s work. I’m not a big country fan per se, but this guy’s music is great. Plus, he’s a fabulous guitar player. My wife and I have seen him live three times. Bravo for getting the biggest of the biggest, Rick !!
Keith will be the first to tell you, he’s no country artist. He’s just a musician who plays pop/rock music. He just happened to find himself on country radio. He always thought it was because he played a lot of Telecaster stuff.
Saw Keith Urban at Houston Rodeo concert a few years ago. Even though he performed in a venue on a stage surrounded by 50K fans, he had the ability to make it seem very personal and intimate. His personality is so natural and authentic, it didn’t seem like he was far away. Sharing his talent and joy of performing was pure and uplifting. Great experience!
Very well said! That's what I call, the Keith Urban experience. You feel. You feel like you're a part of the entirety of the concert. He includes the audience and we respond with his openess and the experience is a great party with a great, talented friend ❤
Wow this was a brilliant interview, loved hearing two musicians talking about the music,the instruments, the process, funny and delightful,I learnt so much from this in depth interview,truly inspirational, Keith's music is my happy place to visit daily🙏🎶🎶🎸⭐⭐💞❤❤
G'day fellow Queenslander. If you get the time check out Nat's What I Reckon's interview with Keith. Warning there's a shitload of swearing - you really see Keith open up on his vulnerable side and some great life advice. Regional Queensland?
Keith Urban bought my very first guitar build in 2013. I wish I could get in touch with the guy to thank him all these years later my brand is doing well. I display at NAMM etc.
At 39:27 is where the gold is: these guys are just in it and they're not expecting a phone call... Self awareness is the death of creativity...etc. The reason why most mainstream music is devoid of deep humanity is that the modern creators are self editing and making it for corporations or following someone else's star and not their own. Thank you Rick and Keith for continuing to dig for diamonds and gold and throwing shade on the machine while shining a light on our rich humanity.
Doesn’t get any better than these two great human beings on screen together. Thanks to them both for an education in music, creativity, inspiration, communication and mutual respect. Rick, you did it again, we love you 🙏
This is a fabulous interview-one of the best I've seen! You mentioned Mary Martin, and I haven't thought of her in years. She used to come into my garden center in Nashville (Moore & Moore), and we would talk forever. She was one of the coolest people I knew.
Fantastic interview! Keith is a guitar player's guitar player. Great questions Rick and I love your channel! I love that Keith was so candid and so honest with his answers. Thank you!
Love this interview. Keith Urban is brilliant and it's nice to hear him talk about his love of playing music. He reflects this in his concerts too !!! Great job.
Do ppl really understand how great a guitarist Keith is? I didn't, until our bass player suggested I have a listen. Blew me away. Great interview Rick.
The spirit of the song , that’s the greatest phrase I heard in along long time, Keith is spot on , the sound is different on whatever speakers you listening to anyway , great interview , this makes my day, again
His cover of the BeeGees “To Love Somebody” …can listen over and over. You can tell from listening to him speak that he LOVES music. And that’s a wonderful thing.
I'm an Aussie but not a country or Keith bloke. Watched this on a whim and was really blown away by the articulate wisdom, anecdotes with meaning and Rick's ability to get it happening. Love when Keith starts interviewing Rick in a couple of spots. I play music from a completely different world but I'm going back to this to grab a couple of the key insights that spoke to me and I can use. Cheers mate, ripper interview!
Dang that short story about the engineer putting the mics where the guy's ears were and it sounded great was funny. What a great example of brilliant simplicity. Great interview, Rick!
I've watched/listened countless interviews with Keith and even if I've heard the answers before, I never tire from hearing them again. Keith is so genuine, witty, talented, knowledgeable and smart. Love him. ❤❤️🔥🎸🎤
This was an awesome interview - I love Kieth Urban so much - and Rick you did an awesome interview - two people who are each very authentic people who have a passion for music having a chat - what a great watch - thank you Rick for all you do for music! You are a champion - and can't believe people watch your videos and don't subscribe - they are missing out!
So thrilled to hear you mention " Sneakin Sally". So much soul on that album. "How Much Fun" is my go to when I'm over thinking driving myself into the ground about something.

When I clicked on this video I was planning to spend just a couple of minutes and jump around to grab some highlights and them move on. I just realized there is only 2 minutes left and I have watched the whole thing through. Great video!
Thank you Rick and Keith. This was my dream interview for this channel and it did not disappoint. You asked Keith many questions I've wondered about. Please come back again Keith.
I listened to Avenged Sevenfold and Five Finger Death Punch before discovering Urban. I loathed country music. I worked at a Tex Mex restaurant that only played country. I swore my ears bled daily and then a song came on after close….take your records take your freedom take your memories I don’t need ‘em…I immediately said who sings THIS??? Keith Urban. My husband just walked out so it was the right song at the right time. I got my first guitar because of Keith!!!! I adore country music.
Thank you so much for having Keith on Rick!!! He's been my favorite artist/guitarist for a long time, and I really enjoyed listening to the two of you! The interviews you do and all of your other content is amazing and we are all lucky to have you spreading all this joy and love for music! Thank you sir!
What an awesome intelligent interview! Excellent questions. Wonderful responses and a fabulous and interesting interaction! I greatly enjoyed it from start to finish.
I've seen Keith twice and was always blown away ... and you could tell Keith really appreciated Rick's knowledge about music from the questions about gear and studio setup etc ... no one could have done that interview better than Rick. Love you both!
It's late night.. said I'm only watching a few mins of this.. but nope.. All the way to the end. As always.. excellent, informative, entertaining, honest and genuine. Both cats. Keep em coming.
Watching from Australia, Rick. Great interview. Right up there with your Tommy Emmanuel video. If you ever make it out here, please look out for Ian Moss and Chris Cheney. Two more of our finest.
What an absolutely superb interview. Well done to all involved. Being able to sit in on two masters is such a treat. Keith's insights were brilliant, particularly his thoughts towards the end of the interview. Beautiful. 🤎💙💛
It opens up so much for you Rick with your music knowledge, techniques, and teaching capabilities, so many musicians want to do interviews with someone who understands them. Another fantastic interview with an excellent artist like Mr. Urban.
Amazing. I love how Keith asks Rick questions back. It's a two-way interview. He's not just interested in hearing about himself. What an awesome guy! In concert Keith just blew me away with his talent.
Such a great conversation. I love it when Rick asks Keith to playing something and he just strums an A chord. That's his genuine humility. He knows he could shred something crazy or riff something funky, but he just strums the A and talks about tone. So good! Listening to the artist talk about his love for the art is just priceless.
Great interview! Keith is as real as his music! I recently heard Keith on the show "Opry". It was just him and an acoustic guitar. Stripped down or with a band his talent shines through.
Wow Rick...I could have listened another 2 hrs. I listen to any Keith Urban interview that I see come up...because I'm not only a fan, but I love the way he thinks, works, feels, describes how he does what he does etc. But this interview was the best of any I've ever listened to...because it was two musicians, talking the same language, and also makes your questions to him unique to anyone else just asking him the usual. So fascinating. I'm not even a musician, but I am a music lover, (I thank heaven I'm from the generation before the cell phones, who listened to albums, read liner notes, soaked it all in...I love that discussion you had here too.) I enjoyed this so much. I love the way he thinks...the artist he is and how he comes at things. And besides all that...he just seems like good people. Down to earth. Thank you so much...great, great (can't even call it an interview) it was a great chat between two musicians we got to eavesdrop on.
I loved that Keith came back and asked Rick questions too. I think that shows how relaxed he was. Rick is a master of getting people to forget their being interviewed.
Not only how relaxed Keith was, but how much he respects Rick - he clearly was interested in Rick’s opinions.
Yes he is master of that too❤🙏
Couldn’t agree more, awesome conversation between 2 respectful & talented people! Wish it was longer!
He was even surprised that the interview ended so abruptly. He clearly wouldn't mind talking for longer... neither would we

Rick is just as good at interviewing folks as he is at breaking down music. He’s outstanding
Nobody better....at least nobody I know!
@@pomme404 he knows the subject, never talks over the guest, asks great questions, and is so politely enthused. He’s a treasure
After Rick it's hard to listen to Howard Stern interview a musician.
Rick is the best music interviewer there is. I just hope he gets to interview McCartney before it's too late.
@@JarrettMehldau Anything possible, Rick has had the pleasure of interviewing legends.

Before the show he was inside the Bucee’s preparing brisket for the customers. The show was phenomenal and Keith is as humble as a superstar can possibly be.
Apparently he expected maybe a few hundred people to show up 😂
Yeah, that was pretty wild. I'm in Prattville but was out of state visiting family. Would have probably tried to make it up there.
I don't listen to Keith or country, but when Rick does an interview you watch it and love it anyway!
So true!
@@jasonwilkerson9497 Totally true

Are you for real? I live in Australia too and no one plays his music
In his early days, I recall Keith appearing on Hey Hey it's Saturday.
Is that a trait in Australia? Try to follow the punk music scene there as best as I can and every band seems so joyous and happy to be playing!
great interview lads...lovely...but tell him he needs to work on his impression of me a little more...
Haha!!!
He can imitate your voice but never the emotional intensity of your sound. There is only one uncle !

Dakabin High! I had a mate who showed me his old class photos, in which there was a little sandy-haired K.Urban. We used to compete against them in sports, but I think Keith was spending all his time playing guitar ... time well spent!
Roots in Central Otago! Our great grandmothers were sisters.
I absolutely love Keith Urban’s work. I’m not a big country fan per se, but this guy’s music is great. Plus, he’s a fabulous guitar player. My wife and I have seen him live three times. Bravo for getting the biggest of the biggest, Rick !!
Keith will be the first to tell you, he’s no country artist. He’s just a musician who plays pop/rock music. He just happened to find himself on country radio. He always thought it was because he played a lot of Telecaster stuff.
💫Love how thoughtful and insightful Keith’s answers and commentary are … and nobody better than Rick to interview him !🎸 🎙️
Saw Keith Urban at Houston Rodeo concert a few years ago. Even though he performed in a venue on a stage surrounded by 50K fans, he had the ability to make it seem very personal and intimate. His personality is so natural and authentic, it didn’t seem like he was far away. Sharing his talent and joy of performing was pure and uplifting. Great experience!
Very well said! That's what I call, the Keith Urban experience. You feel. You feel like you're a part of the entirety of the concert. He includes the audience and we respond with his openess and the experience is a great party with a great, talented friend ❤
Wow this was a brilliant interview, loved hearing two musicians talking about the music,the instruments, the process, funny and delightful,I learnt so much from this in depth interview,truly inspirational, Keith's music is my happy place to visit daily🙏🎶🎶🎸⭐⭐💞❤❤
I'm also not a country guy but I've seen him live and he's amazing. He's a great player and a great showman.
I'm fan of Keith and all of his music. I'm Queensland from Australia. 💛🖤❤️🇦🇺
G'day fellow Queenslander.
If you get the time check out Nat's What I Reckon's interview with Keith. Warning there's a shitload of swearing - you really see Keith open up on his vulnerable side and some great life advice.
Regional Queensland?
Yesssss. “Playing inspired just works, even if you’ve got a shitty tone” - Keith is the man. Great to see you guys together!
Keith Urban bought my very first guitar build in 2013. I wish I could get in touch with the guy to thank him all these years later my brand is doing well. I display at NAMM etc.
His attitude and outlook is refreshing and inspirational. Really good interview, thanks Rick.
GREAT conversation. keith urban is so open and humble.
Monster guitar player, musician, performer!
At 39:27 is where the gold is: these guys are just in it and they're not expecting a phone call... Self awareness is the death of creativity...etc. The reason why most mainstream music is devoid of deep humanity is that the modern creators are self editing and making it for corporations or following someone else's star and not their own. Thank you Rick and Keith for continuing to dig for diamonds and gold and throwing shade on the machine while shining a light on our rich humanity.
Doesn’t get any better than these two great human beings on screen together. Thanks to them both for an education in music, creativity, inspiration, communication and mutual respect. Rick, you did it again, we love you 🙏
Another amazing interview! Thank you Keith! Thank you Rick. Rick Beato is music teacher to the world!
This is a fabulous interview-one of the best I've seen! You mentioned Mary Martin, and I haven't thought of her in years. She used to come into my garden center in Nashville (Moore & Moore), and we would talk forever. She was one of the coolest people I knew.
Terrific interview. Two well spoken, humble individuals.
Fantastic interview! Keith is a guitar player's guitar player. Great questions Rick and I love your channel! I love that Keith was so candid and so honest with his answers. Thank you!
Love this interview. Keith Urban is brilliant and it's nice to hear him talk about his love of playing music. He reflects this in his concerts too !!! Great job.
Great conversation. You can sense how fun it was to talk about each topic.
Real people, real questions... fantastic.
Thank you guys. X
Just another outstanding interview. Keith, you are an inspiration to me. Rick, thanks for bringing this to us. Cheers.
Do ppl really understand how great a guitarist Keith is? I didn't, until our bass player suggested I have a listen. Blew me away.
Great interview Rick.
It is so interesting to see the chemistry develop on these interviews. Another great interview!
this one of the best episodes you’ve done - love keith’s attitude and way of thinking - great questions and answers!! 🤘🏼🙏🏼😎
Rick always makes whom ever he interviews feel very comfortable and they seem to really open up
What a likable guy Keith is. Fantastic interview Rick.
The spirit of the song , that’s the greatest phrase I heard in along long time, Keith is spot on , the sound is different on whatever speakers you listening to anyway , great interview , this makes my day, again
I’ve been waiting for this one. Love that guy. And Rick as well.
Keith's point about the AM radio test is brilliant, and absolutely correct. Thank you all so much for doing this.
His cover of the BeeGees “To Love Somebody” …can listen over and over. You can tell from listening to him speak that he LOVES music. And that’s a wonderful thing.
you're both masters of your crafts, I loved this interview. Keith inspired me to play guitar in 2004. he'll always be my hero.
What a wonderful, inspiring interview! Rick, Keith is so lucky to have had the chance to talk with you 😊🧡💛
I'm an Aussie but not a country or Keith bloke. Watched this on a whim and was really blown away by the articulate wisdom, anecdotes with meaning and Rick's ability to get it happening. Love when Keith starts interviewing Rick in a couple of spots. I play music from a completely different world but I'm going back to this to grab a couple of the key insights that spoke to me and I can use. Cheers mate, ripper interview!
Great conversation!
Love the way this man talks about his colleagues/ friends, and himself: very healthy, humorous and real vibes.
Dang that short story about the engineer putting the mics where the guy's ears were and it sounded great was funny. What a great example of brilliant simplicity. Great interview, Rick!
I've watched/listened countless interviews with Keith and even if I've heard the answers before, I never tire from hearing them again. Keith is so genuine, witty, talented, knowledgeable and smart. Love him. ❤❤️🔥🎸🎤
This was an awesome interview - I love Kieth Urban so much - and Rick you did an awesome interview - two people who are each very authentic people who have a passion for music having a chat - what a great watch - thank you Rick for all you do for music! You are a champion - and can't believe people watch your videos and don't subscribe - they are missing out!
I love watching Keith play live. He always looks like he's having so much fun.
So thrilled to hear you mention " Sneakin Sally". So much soul on that album. "How Much Fun" is my go to when I'm over thinking driving myself into the ground about something. It always makes me smile. Out of all the people in the whole Keith....you are in my top 5 of people I would love to meet just to say "THANK YOU" for what you've given me. No selfies...no autographs....just...THANK YOU
When I clicked on this video I was planning to spend just a couple of minutes and jump around to grab some highlights and them move on. I just realized there is only 2 minutes left and I have watched the whole thing through. Great video!
I find myself doing that with a lot of Rick's interviews.
Thank you Rick and Keith. This was my dream interview for this channel and it did not disappoint. You asked Keith many questions I've wondered about. Please come back again Keith.
I have become a Keith Urban fan because of this interview, what a real person, not pretentious at all.
I listened to Avenged Sevenfold and Five Finger Death Punch before discovering Urban. I loathed country music. I worked at a Tex Mex restaurant that only played country. I swore my ears bled daily and then a song came on after close….take your records take your freedom take your memories I don’t need ‘em…I immediately said who sings THIS??? Keith Urban. My husband just walked out so it was the right song at the right time. I got my first guitar because of Keith!!!! I adore country music.
Great interview. Another inspiring interview! Love Keith!
I've seen Keith in concert many times. Incredibly talented guitarist, vocalist, and performer.
I like how he came back with really good questions to you. That's a thoughtful friend but it also shows he wants to learn things or understand more.
Thank you so much for having Keith on Rick!!! He's been my favorite artist/guitarist for a long time, and I really enjoyed listening to the two of you! The interviews you do and all of your other content is amazing and we are all lucky to have you spreading all this joy and love for music! Thank you sir!
What an awesome intelligent interview! Excellent questions. Wonderful responses and a fabulous and interesting interaction! I greatly enjoyed it from start to finish.
I've seen Keith twice and was always blown away ... and you could tell Keith really appreciated Rick's knowledge about music from the questions about gear and studio setup etc ... no one could have done that interview better than Rick. Love you both!
Such a humble nice guy. And such an amazing musician! Loved this interview.
It's late night.. said I'm only watching a few mins of this.. but nope.. All the way to the end. As always.. excellent, informative, entertaining, honest and genuine. Both cats. Keep em coming.
This may be the best interview I’ve heard in years.
How many interviews have you watched, one and a half?
Watching from Australia, Rick. Great interview. Right up there with your Tommy Emmanuel video. If you ever make it out here, please look out for Ian Moss and Chris Cheney. Two more of our finest.
And Diesel too please! :)
What an absolutely superb interview. Well done to all involved. Being able to sit in on two masters is such a treat. Keith's insights were brilliant, particularly his thoughts towards the end of the interview. Beautiful. 🤎💙💛
It opens up so much for you Rick with your music knowledge, techniques, and teaching capabilities, so many musicians want to do interviews with someone who understands them. Another fantastic interview with an excellent artist like Mr. Urban.
Great interview...2 of my favorites !
Loved the early 2000s Keith Urban, songs like Better Life, Somebody Like You and Days Go By.
All produced by Dann Huff! Amazing music that sounds just as good today as it did back then. Classics!
Another great interview. Keith is so relaxed and he comes up with some great anecdotes and insights. Good man.
Amazing. I love how Keith asks Rick questions back. It's a two-way interview. He's not just interested in hearing about himself. What an awesome guy! In concert Keith just blew me away with his talent.
Such a great conversation. I love it when Rick asks Keith to playing something and he just strums an A chord. That's his genuine humility. He knows he could shred something crazy or riff something funky, but he just strums the A and talks about tone. So good! Listening to the artist talk about his love for the art is just priceless.
Great interview! Keith is as real as his music! I recently heard Keith on the show "Opry". It was just him and an acoustic guitar. Stripped down or with a band his talent shines through.
Wow Rick...I could have listened another 2 hrs. I listen to any Keith Urban interview that I see come up...because I'm not only a fan, but I love the way he thinks, works, feels, describes how he does what he does etc. But this interview was the best of any I've ever listened to...because it was two musicians, talking the same language, and also makes your questions to him unique to anyone else just asking him the usual. So fascinating. I'm not even a musician, but I am a music lover, (I thank heaven I'm from the generation before the cell phones, who listened to albums, read liner notes, soaked it all in...I love that discussion you had here too.) I enjoyed this so much. I love the way he thinks...the artist he is and how he comes at things. And besides all that...he just seems like good people. Down to earth. Thank you so much...great, great (can't even call it an interview) it was a great chat between two musicians we got to eavesdrop on.
