    Rick Beato is simply the best at this. Giving amazing artists a platform to openly discuss their talent in a different way because Rick's understanding is on their level we as the audience get an insight into the 'backroom' talk of actual musicians. I love these interviews. Artists talk differently to Rick. You can hear they truly respect him and the audience benefits from being a part of this space.

      It puts you at a loss of such beauty. His hands move, but I'm not getting the mental connection. How to do. What makes it work. I thought harmonics were just those over the fret tricks and projecting chord forms with double finger and pick. But he goes beyond. But he has a therapy going on. Not a stuffy musician.

You were respectful, you listened. Even though it's your show you kept yourself in the background. Your musicianship is extraordinary - now I see so is your humility and humanity. SO well done!!

      @@1stofer MTV's own success killed them. When they realized they had fully captured the 12-24yo demographic, with disposable income and no expenses, and that made MTV the most valuable advertising space in the world. They then had $$$$ to protect, and it became unthinkable to risk teens changing the channel waiting for a song they don't like to end, or worse, getting bored watching yet more endless promo videos of artist/models mugging into a camera. They needed to keep kids eyeballs engaged on the screen for longer, & the animated shows proved people would tune in for longer content, so soap operas & reality tv was the much cheaper way to do that. Plus, the labels were shifting to selling cheaper & easier hiphop acts, and MTV's clients weren't convinced that tatted up faux-gangstas in shiny clothes with strippers shaking ass all over the place really fit their desired corporate image. Since, we've lost the terrible gatekeepers that blasted us in the face with the same shlocky crap 80 times a day, but we've also lost the quality control those gatekeepers *should have* been providing, and the social cohesion & market size of a monoculture. I think MTV crashing & burning might actually be the most influential disaster in the arts of my lifetime.

    Love Mike and I love how he praises Tommy so much. I saw Tommy 2 years ago and witnessed one of the greatest guitar playing performances I've ever seen (the greatest). When you see someone do an ENTIRE song in only harmonics, you will simply shake your head at the audacity. In fact, when he did play said song, no-one clapped at first because they were in such awe and because I was in Liverpool, one single person shouted out:
    "How the fuck did you just do that?"
    Mike, keep it up and you may become as good as the master. Chet would put the pair of you at the top of the pile.
