15:27 this is why we love Rick... he shows the connection between all music... not just jazz not just pop. Good music is just that GOOD MUSIC
Wow - talk about a great musical memory! I thought I was one of the only people left that remember The Church's Under The Milky Way!!!
I have always loved that song, and that chord is probably one of the big reasons why!
@@shivasirons8971 MTV 120 Minutes back in the day was my religion
Once you practice your inversions on guitar, go to your piano and practice doing all your inversions there too. Inversions really also open up creativity.
For why everyone should practice inversions go to Rick’s episode 57. Text book real guitar and keyboard inversions and how they were used too create a progressive rock masterpiece in Dance On A Volcano. Think of inversions as a way to thicken up your musical sauces.
Inversions are much easier to grasp on the piano because of the way it's laid out. That's why I prefer to compose on piano.
@@rome8180 perhaps why *most* prefer to compose on piano/keyboard ;)
I would assume on guitar it would be harder than piano to have smooth voice leading. When playing piano I typically use inversions for smoother voice leading.
@@rome8180 I think every guitarist should own a keyboard, and learn a few basics.
Just got the updated Beato book 3.0. Thanks Rick you rock! Looking forward to getting your ear training app.
I’ve been noodling with guitars for 20 years - and I’m still rubbish. A few months ago I decided to give piano a go and it’s already sounding 100 times better that guitar. However my experience learning piano has opened up avenues of learning on guitar also because everything relates. Recently I decided to download a guitar chord app (As I had done with piano). I then used graphic software to create sheets of empty chord charts and set about going through the guitar chord app marking out only the chords which were easy to play / learn. I was massively surprised to realise that in every note (including sharps / flats) there were at least 40 chords that are really easy to reach / hold / learn. I now have a spiral bound book filled with pages of easy to play and learn chords / inversions. Now whenever I am at home noodling or recording it sounds 1000 times more interesting that when I was trying to make stuff using around 20 basic chords.
I'm better technically at guitar than piano. But I far prefer to use the piano for composition. The way it's laid is so much better for grasping scales, chords, inversions, etc. Everything is right there in a row.
Wow, you started the video with the first chord of Blue in Green! Love it!
Finally got your Beato book. Thanks for putting in so much hard work so that we lesser mortals can learn what wealth of knowledge you have accumulated over the years. Kudos to you!
Love your videos Rick! Excellent, quality content!
Congratulations on your million Subs. Love your channel.
Hey Rick,
Sorry I missed this today but I was working . Man these chords and scales you've been playing lately are kicking me in and inspiring myself to start pushing again. Thank you for all you do.
Thanks again for the fantastic content and personality Rick. Just got my BeatoBook 3.0 and looking forward to diving into it at work tonight!
You have amazing ears Rick. I'm always amazed.
watching Rick has helped me be more open than i used to be about music, i want to keep going (playing 40 years now) if i dont keep learning i will get bored and quit
Great vid, Sir, really! Cant stop watching it! Your THE BEST i've ever seen surely!
Thanks for the tab in Beato 3! Much appreciated!
Love the new book, I had the 2.0 and though I can almost sight read (takes energy and time) tabs are just easier and it makes my life less of a struggle. Thanks a lot Rick, keep them coming
This was a really great video Rick. Thank you!
Great stuff! These chords are difficult to grab on the gig but give you amazing lines (road maps) when you need to solo over 'expensive chords'. Thanks, Rick!
Great lesson. Thanks! Love the Marcus video. Awesome techniques. Room sounds Awesome!
This is, once more, a great lesson!
Im just glad to be able to listen and watch you dude Ive learned much and created some amazing shyt from gaining a little understanding and applying that what I understood.When I do get enough $ to afford to support this channel I def will.
Thanks Rick. Some sweet new inversion voicings and clear explanations are appreciated.
You're awesome Rick! Thank you for this.
Thanks for always teaching something worth learning
Just Wow!!! I have to get that book and practice.. those chords really do sound beautiful against one another.. Wow Rick
I just bought the beato book ! thx for all the work !
I am glad you mentioned the new Beato book in this video. I never would have seen the email. Found it in my spam. Thanks!
missed the live stream (The Netherlands here) , but the RB25 discount-code still worked. thanks alot Rick!
Learned a lot from Mickey Baker...this adds to the voicing possibilities... thanks RICK
Omg dude, I love that beautiful sound, nice guitar
thanX fer gittin' my mental gears-a-spinnin' sir Rick B.! lovely soundz here, too!
Freeze pedal! Total gem, thanks Rick!
Thank you Rick! 😃💛
I wish the book had more diagrams for guitar chords & scales than staff notations. Love the book though and love this channel! Rick is insanely informative & his video quality is just remarkable! 🙏🏽🙌🏽🔥❤️
Something I did when first learning chords was trying to find as many easy to finger chords all in one position.
For instance in the 5th you get variations of A, Bb, B, C, D, E, F and G without having to be a finger contortionist.
This helped me learn different chord shapes without constantly relying on charts.
Hey Rick, I’m excited for the book! Just purchased it but didn’t get a link or some type of PDF attachment.
I could definitely use help with my chord inversions. I need your book asap!
Great.....and it can be all the notes in A melodic minorscale....and so many chords from that too. Great side as always from Beato
Glad to become a recent subber & my friend who is a long time Jazz guitarist will now see why I recommended your channel! Tom Morello’s strap?? lol
Thanks Rick
Tabs will def get me to buy the book.
Updated Version + Discount persuaded me to Buy This Book!
Thanks for the videos!
That shuffle groove video was superb!
Man, I just jammed over that AM7b5 chord for a half hour. I also had never heard of a harmonic Major scale. I have the minor scales, including the harmonic minor scale under my fingers in 3rds and 4ths on my sax, but that harmonic Major scale just seriously twisted my brain. Great stuff Rick!
I don’t even have a guitar (and I’m not sure what he’s talking about in this vid), but I always watch all his vids.
AJ M I have a ukulele, and it’s really fun too. :)
Was getting some serious Jeff Buckley vibes here. Thanks for the great content . I just moved next to a guitar center in your honor I'm going to play the first few chords of Stairway.
Yes, FBI, this one right here^
Great video. Quick note/question about the new 3.0 -- on your site I clicked on the Table of Contents and the PDF title in the brower tab says it's version 2.0, which is not my comment -- instead, if this is the operative Table either I've never heard of "Stackes" in melody or a quick update to the PDF can be made. Keep up the great work.
Hi Rick! SO LOVE your channel!! Your teachings and your musical insight is fantastic. Sort of off-topic, but not...talking of a lot of the chord voicings that your discussing in this video, I thought that it would be REALLY COOL for you to do a, "What makes this song great" video of Triumph's "Suitcase Blues" A hidden gem of really cool jazz coming from a rock music genre.
Thank you so much for your kindness your student from bahrain 🇧🇭
I used tons of inversions while developing my album.
I always try to center my chords around the key center.
Hey thanks for all the great info. I have a request for what makes this song great: The Smiths, “headmaster ritual.” Really cool song with a lot of interesting guitar work.
Thanks for validating the way you like to tune! I've been doing that for years -- getting it "in tune", then tweaking it with an open full G chord, some open D sus chords and stuff -- often times people don't understand why I start turning keys after getting supposedly "in tune". Wondering if this relates to the guitar's intonation or if it has more to do with the way the G to B string major third doesn't have the right consonance? Thoughts? Video on tuning? Video on alt tunings? Video on David Crosby? Sorry, lol, getting carried away here.
I’ve heard Julian Casablancas talk about this, but didn’t know what it was. Thank you
Just purchased the beato book can't wait to sink my teeth into it :)
Inversions on the guitar are tricky. You start out with a true triad chord and then begin thinking: "Well, adding that extra bass layer on the E String and that fifth on the A String makes it so much fuller" aaaand there you have your common boring Barre Chords again. Thats why I set the rule for myself to avoid Barres and Powerchords at all costs in my own music. It´s hard and I usually don´t like snobbish rules like that but it pays off I think.
OK, so we know what you don't do ... what do you do?
The best way to remember things is to discover them yourself. This is why I mentioned before about learning all the standard chord positions all over the neck i.e. E, A and D shapes for example. Then you will start seeing inversions or substitutions. If you try to learn by aping exactly what other people do i.e. learning lots of riffs or chords, your progress will be slower than learning fundamentals and discovering things within this yourself.
Rick Beato, you should do a video on the verse chords on Mike McDonald's Taking It To Streets. They are beautiful.
That minor 6/9 chord (half dim with added 4th) is the most useful chord in Jazz.
I’m surprised you didn’t mention Wes as being the octave player of all time . I saw him at a club in Rochester a couple of times at a small venue called the Pythodd Club in the early - mid sixties . Never a problem, and the few greats I met there were always encouraging. I was seventeen years old first I went there .
The first b5 chord at 2:41 immediately reminded me of Zoot Allures by Frank Zappa. Same key too, I think!
Would love to see a "what makes this song great" about 'Son of a preacher man' Dusty Springfield! Please. The bass line is masterful.
I bought the 2nd book earlier this year or late last year. I never got an email about the "pay what you want" thing so I did what I would've done anyway and paid full price :)
Beato Book the world!!
Hi sir can you please explain the theory behind the ( miles of machine )
Some of those chords made "Suitcase Blues" by Triumph pop in my head somehow.
Love that you know The Church!
Could it be right that i have the oldest version of the beato book? Chapter 2 page 86.... about drop voicings and inversions.... love yor stuff Rick. :)
Hey Rick, have you thought about making sexy music theory references posters to add to your merch store?
cool thanks
So the new version of the book includes tabs for the existing content. Are there any other additions to the latest version of the book?
Is there any version in ebook or something of your books please ? Cheers form Italy
The book's webpage is 404ing for me, Rick!
Hey Rick,
Could you do a video on the intro of Metal Fatigue by Allan Holdsworth?
There are some yt videos of people explaning the solo and the chords in the verses but no one seems to know what's going on in the intro.
Thanks in advance!
I used to love tuning by ear: start from one player's instrument and tune the rest of the band to that by ear. Now we all seem to be obsessed with our Snarks
Rick, in your book do you focus mainly on guitar?
I'm always sort of ''scared'' to change the emphasized bass notes (and to take out the thirds and fifths), but it usually happens when I just pick notes that form a cool harmony and write more on feeling than thinking everything through. I especially find myself stumbling upon cool uses for these when breaking up my chords into cool grooves, it just writes itself at that point.
Dude, Grow out your hair and grow that beard and you will look like Geralt..
I’m never going to look at Witcher the same ever again..
Rick IS the Geralt of guitar.
Why ... He already looks like Wolverine?
@@justgivemethetruth I always thought he looked a little like Negan from The Walking Dead
guys stop making dumb kid references on an adult music channel. what next, 'paint your walls pink and you'll be a brony'? please.
I want that guitar
9:15 "just playing these chords in single notes"
KEY!
I bought 2.0 a couple of months ago. I'll do $35 for 3.0; not because I need it, but because that's how I'll help the cause.
Question and comment. So, why Maj7b5 instead of Maj7#4? Same note, same dissonance against root, but it does give that Lydian flavor. And, as soon as you said 'tritone substitution' I thought, oh crap, where's my old theory text...
Hi Rick how s life maan hope all is well ect , interestingly those subs really give a Jobim flavor to the whole thing it definitely makes a difference sound wise
hey rick, you should do another top 20 best drum intros of all time, keyboard intros, and you should also do a top 20 best bass intros of all time(in the keyboard intros video you left out in the end by linkin park)
damn, when you were playing those scales in the beginning, i almost fell asleep and entered a state of ecstasy until you starting talking about your book again, i would love to know a genre of music that could give me similar vibes, I don't listen to a lot of music outside of classical and extreme metal..
Could you play through the "Wall of Amps"? It would be loud.
You also need to interview June Millington!
Hi Rick.. Say hello to Brazil.. Here Richard from Brazil...
Intonation drives me nuts sometime : - )
Beutefull accords👍
This past year I think I've heard enough jazz chords to actually start appreciating how they sound. It's a pretty big twist of perception. Rick is definitely one of the people who I am thankful to for that. (Yes pedants, I know 'to whom I am thankful', but although technically correct, it sounds naff.)
The pay what you want email was really nice. I had bought the book 2.0 just in August and my first thought was, "Oh, no, now there's a new edition!" So I was trying to figure out what was a fair price to upgrade--I didn't think it should be zero, but I didn't think it should be full price either since I just bought it, so I plunked down 10 bucks.
Thank you!
How do I upgrade the Beato Book if I purchased a V1?
Probably the best way to start getting you head around inversions would be to master all the different standard chord shapes up and down the neck then you can start joining the dots to be able to more easily flow into different inversions,
Nice those Maj7b5 chords are pretty sad and sweet-sounding at the same time....
I think TAB is very nice, having a few fingering suggestions is quite valuable.
Must save for a while because I think it's certainly worth it (and it keeps this incredible musical ecosystem going) and I got v1.0 on discount and ... Honestly feel guilty
U were gonna make a video on ear training right ??
Hi Rick, could you do a "what makes this song great episode on David Sylvian's WAVE (with Robert Fripp) or Elephant Talk by King Crimson or Tinseltown is in the Rain - The Blue Nile?
That first chord of yours is exactly the same chord as Zappa's Zoot Allures :)
@Filipe Bastos. But it's very similar, so "Zoot Allures" was the first thing that ran through my head. It's in the same key also.
This is what I love about music theory debates: People will argue that a different set of notes is close enough to being more or less the same chord, but then I still find myself arguing with this random stuck-up violin instructor I meet at a bar, who insists chords with a 2nd can't be considered the same chord if we changed the 2nd to the 9th. Really?
@@Aqualong53 I heard it for sure, turned my head.
LOL, I never thought of that being a green screen, but now that he mentions it, it *does* look like it.
"Inversion" sounds like a fancy word for playing a chord in a different position, whether or not the root is the "bass" note. Simply: a "C" chord (C/E/G) could be played E/G/C or G/C/E anywhere on the neck (or keyboard). If you know your scales, you could pick out I/III/IV from anywhere in the scale (for a major chord scale, of course). This theory applies to all chords in all scales. It's a "mathematically applied science".
Mark Kurzava it's not a fancy word. Inversions are taught early on when learning piano, pretty basic concept to music
Angus Young wears his guitar ultra-high ...i like to wear guitar low for rhythm, but high for soloing, so middle-ground works best i think ...basically i wear the guitar where it sits naturally when sitting, for consistency sake, so when i stand up, its the same, because its best while working in studio, because im frequently moving from amps to mix-chair, but i drop it for vanity's sake live :P
Rick when You mention voicing that mean the top note is the melody?
