Past : Rick junior with a older Les Paul
Now : older Rick with a Les Paul Junior
Haha!
Older Ricks are great if you can get past the skinny neck (no offense Rick)
@@RickBeato Hey Rick, what are your thoughts on putting out a solo album? I'm sure I wouldn't be alone in welcoming that as a possibility. With your reinvigorated chops and musical experience & maturity, it seems like it could be a good time to consider. It would be nice to hear what you would do with the sheer diversity of influence you've had and the in built production advantage. A guitar centric album of jazz, classical and rock influenced originals and / or standards would get my pledge. Thanks for what you do Rick, really appreciate your enthusiasm, passion and generosity.
r0bophonic get a younger 660 Rick. With the wider neck. Just as good as older Rick. Especially with the vintage Pickups that older Rick has. 😃.
Gary NU-man (born 8/3/58) is in fact two weeks OLD-er than Gary OLD-man (born 21/3/58)
I think Rick might be the most inspirational musician on TH-cam.
don't forget Mike Shinoda... he's great too.
Anant Agarwal I’m not familiar with him yet!
Rick has achieved such a high level of success despite huge challenges and obstacles, that it should motivate anyone who thinks they can’t be successful to keep working!
@@anant8884 Totally agree! One of the most underrated songwriters imo
Rick when you talk theory I have no clue what you're on about but I love it
"Billy, we need more background lights and a spotlight on my TH-cam Play Button. How's the coif look today Billy?"
Rick,
I'm 55 years old and watching your channel ("What makes this song great?" and training exercises) got me back into practicing again. Your '5 things every beginner guitarist should know' episode has me relearning previous guitar instruction and, when thinking about songs I think are great, has me actively listening for those elements in practice and for the love of the music. I have grown from you and your generosity and I hope you continue to help us new beginners learn, love, and play. I ask myself, I wonder what voice I have through my guitars? How can I embrace and make my own the great blues guitarists who have come before me? How do I actively listen for new inspirations? And finally, what would make my music great? Thank you!
I just bought your book - thank you!
Rick, thank you for sharing that story. For YEARS I berated myself for abandoning my violin (my first instrument) for three years while in music school. I was at a private school (ALMOST went to ithaca, actually, but I said NO to SNOW) in NY, I returned home to the local Uni bc money. Said state Uni has NO string program, and my other instrument was voice (classical/theatre). So I put my poor violin in the closet while I finished up at school. In place of Violin, I decided to ALSO study jazz & jazz vocal style. I became a better musician bc of that choice. And picked up my violin 3 years later to see it in a COMPLETELY different light. Now I play 5 instruments (AND sing in various genres). Sometimes that old adage "When a door closes, a window opens" becomes a life-changing reality. Your story is so much more enthralling, but gave me so much validation. THANK YOU.
Rick...I am an old Jazzer right into all of those legendary Jazz Guitarists...Now here I am at almost 80 with a worn out left hand where you have got all of my attention...I was a Guitar Teacher for many years ...But Man you are much more advanced than anywhere that I got to...I love your enthusiasm & generosity ...Five Stars To You Rick !!
Rick Beato is the real deal!
No, the real deal is Rick Beato
100% agree just a Beautiful soul of ahuman being up top for my full reason tolove him as a good humble gifted man.
"I'm just a simple unfrozen caveman guitar player." I'm still trying to learn beyond the cowboy chords after 25 years off. Thank you for so much inspiration!!
I don't understand almost nothing that Rick says, but i love watching him talking and playing
Rick, I had given up on myself as a guitarist and almost even thrown in the towel as someone who wanted to see himself as a musician. Your teaching and enthusiasm have given me a tough love smack in the head to keep reaching to grow and learn.
You lend new life to a kind of mysticism of rock, blues, and jazz to which I subscribed in my youth but in which I more recently-quite foolishly-had started to lose faith.
Thanks for the smack in the head. 🎸🙏🏻
Rick really dissects music to its core values (building blocks). Think of it as the science of music and using the science to create the magic of music. He’s in the league of a David Foster, or a Burt Bacharach. We’re privileged for him to share the knowledge
Fascinating. Love the video and pictorial inserts. Had to comment immediately. Ten years of daily practice and add 10 hours during college? This is perhaps the all time favorite for me of your uploads. You strike a bone of empathy for everyone who fell in love with a guitar. Thank you.
This is starting to sound like perfection to me really trippy this musical knowledge and writing is phenomenal
That instagram clip at around 5:20 is one of the most beautiful thing I've heard in years. Wish I had a recording of that. Thanks, Rick.
You had some impressive sideburns for a 15 year old!
Dude had a full beard at 15 lol god damn
At 15 year old I was benching the bar and getting out of the whole “eye liner, emo phase”.
IKR?
Pretty badass if you ask me.
It's that Italian blood I guess.
I just watched this video and the second I saw that pic of him at 15, thought the same thing !
This was really inspiring to hear Rick. Exactly what you said happened to me at 30....just stopped moving forward. Now I'm back
That flat9 sounds really sweet. You’re so right. Really enjoying your videos. Rock on.
Did anyone else find that NOT playing guitar (seriously) for 5 to 10 years gave you a new, fresh or even BETTER viewpoint and even increased proficiency in your playing - especially improvisation?
Yes that happened with me after a 4 or 5 year break
I've only been playing (at least 5 days a week for at least 40 minutes) for about 14 months... and I do find that an occasional 4-5 day break sort of refreshes me. I focus better and have more patience for repetition after taking a break.
Absolutely. Took a long break and found that not only my playing, but also my taste in music changed quite a bit.
I find that even after a week of not playing. It's so refreshing to know that you don't lose everything after being away from the guitar for a long time
I don't know about 5 or 10 years but a weeks-plus break can definitely help. Not only with guitar. There is some science behind this, something about letting neural pathways grow. I can't find the research right now but it is indeed a real phenomenon.
I went 18 years between gigs and rebuilding my music. I did not pick up a guitar for 18 years. My musical voice was still there but the story I had to tell had changed. My vocabulary was there same but my ear had changed. It’s a broken story, but it’s easy to create new stuff because all been pent up waiting to be released. Music is SO fun now!!! I’m 58’ and have SO much to say. Music is wonderful.
I admire people my age and older who still have a passion for playing music. I don’t know how they can keep that alive.
Guitar was my life from age 14-23. Then it became an on/off thing from age 24 til 39-40. I’m now 47, and though I’ve kept my most prized guitars with the most sentimental value, the idea of me trying to “be a guitarist” these days clashes so much with my self-concept of husband and father, I just can’t reconcile the two. Every once in a purple moon I’ll plug in and mess around for a little while, or I’ll pick up my acoustic; but those moments are few and far between, definitely not enough to build my skill back up to where it used to be, let alone surpass that. In my youth, I never imagined I’d be one of those guys who “used to play.” I used to shake my head in bewilderment when I’d hear about guys like that.
It really is wonderful to see you so inspired. It truly makes me want to play my guitar. Having time to practice the instrument we love every day is truly a blessing.
Aha! yes Rick, your steady progress is clearly evident. How practice & focus on goals really does pay off. Our stories & ages are almost parallel in detail. Except you stayed on the music path, me into bussiness. I had similar experiences rebooting, my music after a 27 yr absence I believed was permanant. Now playing better than before, which I too found remarkable. Stay with it SIR. I love your short, modest & honest to the point type of recent videos. Great work, thank you. Most of us really enjoy sharing your love for all things music & helping others out of the weeds & ruts.
Rick, I'll skip over the part about how I totally relate to your channel (myself a pro orchestral bassist/professor who really loves the guitar and finally got back to it after 30 years). You don't talk too fast for me, but I wish you would dial back the distortion and reverb when you get into the theory stuff. Whether you do that or not, you'll still be one of the 3 or 4 channels I actually follow and take seriously. You are an inspiration and a lighthouse in these covid times. Thanks, man!
Haha! I’ll dial back the distortion :)
I had a bad reaction to an antibiotic a few years ago. All the skin on my hands and feet blistered and fell off. Couldn’t walk or handle anything for a while. Then when I could my skin was sooooooo sensitive and all my 10+ years of calluses were gone. It took a looooooong time to get back to where I was because of the pain and then discouraging rust. Now I’m going beyond where I ever was before with the help of your inspiring videos! Keep it up Rick!!
Dude parallel early paths with bass as my primary. Played every genre but jazz was my favorite. Did some Big Band stuff and some guitar/piano, bass, vox. Life finally got in the way and my dad passed during this time and I lost passion. You're amazing. I pick up my fiddle or banjo or guitar and it's like I never ever played. Speed is gone and can't even remember easy fingerings.
Keep it up! Gives me hope
I’m glad I stumbled on your channel a few days ago, I’m impressed and I’m happy to learn what you teach and what you say and to listen and think about the things that you have experienced. Thank you for being here on TH-cam it’s a great great joy to me to hear you !!😄
"Use some unexpected intervals to make your lines more interesting."
(plays the Spanish Inquisition scale)
Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition scale
Bring out ... the comfy guitar
Ha ha ha.... I’m cracking up... the Spanish Inquisition Scale.....I can’t stop laughing...
This just reminded me of the Mel Brooks Inquisition skit too, lol!
The chief weapon here is surprise.
Playing guitar was my life from about 12 to 18 when I went to university. I got busy with studies and girls and the life and yadda yadda. I’ve always had the guitars laying around and would pick them up and even go through phases of weeks or months playing again but never making progression and overall absolutely losing my chops. I’m 30 now and taking more seriously than even when I was a teenager. I’m a old but new student of actual music now and I’m loving having a new (old) passion and skill to work on at this age.
Love your channel Rick. Have to say I’m behind and don’t understand your theory aspects of these videos much yet but I’m going to get there
Wicked stuff, just what I need, also envious of your Bitchin' Axe collection! 21 years in, never quit, always learning!
I love your "Like that" series. Super digestible tips!
12:17... those lines remind me of Cool # 9! Yes! Man, your passion is incredible, thanks for the beato book!
Really lovely video Rick. Thank you so much for your sharing and teachings.💕
Dude! You are amazing. I have been looking for a channel exactly like this. I'm 45 have been playing since 14, many bands, styles. And your channel hits the spot Everytime!
And I'm in Ithaca. This video was really cool to watch and see you at IC back in the 80s. I have played everywhere in Ithaca.
Nice Rick! I went to Ithaca, too. I had no idea. The pic you chose showed my freshman dorm (East Tower) on the left. I remember a venue called the Nines and playing a local open mic blues jam downtown.
I'm so happy I stumbled upon your channel! I took a 25 year motherhood hiatus and just got back into playing a couple of years ago. I was really gung ho for about a year, but this last year I lost steam. I think you will give me some incentive to start practicing again. 👍✨
Mr. Beato can explain Jazz to me, but that doesn't mean I have to like it.
I can talk trash, because I bought his book, after all these views. :-)
But seriously, my best purchases the last 6 months have been supporting the TH-cam music tutorial wizards.
My rule of thumb has become-if you have watched more than 4 hours of somebody's channel-Buy Their Basic package-thingie widget!
Good TH-cam videos are a PITA to produce.
Thanks again, Rick!
Luminous Brilliance not even afrocuban jazz? Big band bebop like Dizzy Gillespie’s “Things To Come” (which is basically metal)? Coltrane’s “A Love Supreme”? I know, I know, I’m sorry. There’s just so many different flavors, _something_ is bound to resonate with someone who loves music.
@@johnfrenette I like salsa. Don't like most jazz. But exactly.. the afrocuban type jazz resonates with me.
That's the best fusiony playing I have heard from you. Molto grazi!
Mate, you're the man! You've inspired me so much just in the last year or so. Bought the Beato book a few days ago. It's indispensible. Great stuff, man. Never stop! NEVER!
Awesome!!! U R Tha Man Rick ! Love your videos... I am a drummer of 30 years, guitar player of 10 , I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge.
I stopped playing for the last 12 years after an injury and have only just rediscovered it. Its very hard starting again thinking you can just go back to the level you were at? My fingers have gone back to tender beginners stage . But i will persevere and maybe discover a new level of creativity. Thanks for the inspiration. Its great that we have You Tube and all this input compared to when I started , You put a record on and went from there .
My band broke up in 91 when I was 22, my girl got pregnant and I stopped music, sold my gear for diaper money, never looked back, then on my 50th birthday I saw a fender acoustic, decided to buy it and relearned it, today I'm playing better than I ever did, I went slightly old man deaf and suddenly can sing in key like a bird, now I do over 25 songs, got amps,wall of guitars, and a neighborhood full of fans ,who'd a thunk.
Hah. When I was a young kid, dad sold his beloved Gretch Country Gentleman for $400 so he could buy bunk bedding for me and my brother who at cos at point in the very late 1970s the whole family where basically sharing a bed the family was so poor. To this day I tell the old boy he should have kept the guitar and made us sleep on the floor lol. One of these days when I find a good one, I'm gonna get the old man a Country Gentleman. Repay the debt or something.
@@shayneoneill1506 amen bro, that’s what’s up
Truly inspiring! Going to buy the books and go from there. Same here. Was a pro bass player but got into building bass guitars instead and now want to reinvent who I am as a musician. Thanks Rick! 🙏
I like this idea of building a new structure out of the ruins of the old edifice. I've written several novels that seemed, when I wrote them, to be great, but then if I let them sit untouched for a year or two and then go back to them, the glaring faults in the writing/expression become clear and I can make improvements based on my newer perspective and knowledge.
Well, I only found your channel a couple months ago, but I’m surprised you didn’t really play for years. One of my favorite things about watching your videos, is that when you finish playing a piece (I’m guessing played successfully to your ear) you get this smile and a twinkle in your eye, like “yeah, I pulled that off...woo hoo!” I guess having gone back to playing after so long, you have a childlike enthusiasm about it. Hope you never lose that.
Some real love for the guitar in this video. Refreshing.
I could cry! I just turned 60 and decided (as a part of my 40 year plan) to get back into Music Theory and Guitar. Rick has been my #1 internet teacher, and now, with this video, is my #1 inspiration to keep going.♥️🎼
I love watching Rick , he’s a great dude , I’m gonna be in Atlanta next month, he really inspires me to get deeper into playing again , I have not for the last five yrs
This video actually made my day better, because I didn't practice guitar for months until this morning. I have played the guitar and composed music with it, but I hadn't practiced scales, arpeggios or new repertoire.
This my new all time favorite channel you cover everything about playing guitar and I am grateful for that my friend
"Didnt play for 25 years". I forgot how to wake up in the morning during quarantine
This video is focused towards me. We both stopped playing in the same year. February 2019 was my restart date. I've definitely surpassed my younger self. Thanks Rick!
Fantastic guitar playing Rick!
Thanks for being an inspiration Rick!
some excellent concepts to harmonically open up lines. really great!
Rick, you rock 🤘🏼 for the first time since high school (I'm now 25), I'm studying and ACTUALLY UNDERSTANDING music theory thanks to your vids. Keep up the great public service!
Rick is awesome! So passionate....love it
Thank you so much for this... I had no time to play while in college, and it's been 8 years since I've played. Been picking it up again recently!
Cool outro.
I also hardly touched a guitar since late teens till my late 40s. And already I'm better in certain ways than I was then.
feels like teaching is your destiny, and you’re very good at it
This one hit a home run for me Rick. Playing since I was 16, did the bands thing, taught (junior school) for 5 years, a combination of raising kids and guitar burn out stopped me playing (other than occasionally noodling) for 10 years. Thought I was the only one. Have started playing properly again. Saddened by the loss of chops, but I know a lot more theory that did it for my first 20 years. Just purchased the Beato Book + YT Bundle.
I am just gonna say Argent, Hold your head up, and hope someone makes the connection. I imagine Rick will if he reads this. Lol.
...............HIGH!!
Damn Rick, that lick you played in the altered E scale just blew my mind away! So futuristic. LOVE IT
Reminds me a bit of Terje Rypdal’s shredding. Fascinating!
Oh wow, Rick, thank you. We're about the same age. I grew up in a very musical family, playing violin for 15 years before finally rebelling, quitting the orchestras, and picking up guitar. Played many hours a day for about 10 years. Then, something happened. Moved to the west coast, had a family, etc. Now, it's been 25 years since I've done any real practice. You've motivated me to pick it up again.... today. Cheers!
Definitely love learning from a great teacher and someone that is passionate about music. keep up the great work Mr. Beato
I played for 20 years straight from the day I learned my first chord. I couldn't get enough. I played at least a couple hours a day or more. I discovered pain medication and went for about 15 years without playing. I would play a little here and there, but only enough to show somebody I could play a little. As of tomorrow I will be 4 years clean and sober and going on 3 years of playing daily. I found my mojo I guess. One of my biggest inspirations for picking up the guitar again is Mick Mars. He had to slowly get back in the game after his own issues with pain meds. I'm so glad I started playing again.
My wife was a student at Ithaca from 1987 to 1991 as a medical records student. She was my girlfriend then, and I would visit most weekends. Small world . Enjoy the channel.
Interesting you figured out now that it is easier to play that way. Classical guitar has taught that forever but I guess it ain't cool. Playing the classical posture is easier because the elevated fretboard allows for a less bent wrist. The more bend the harder it is and the more likely you'll get tendonitis.
Yup-I stopped for about 10 years, then picked it up, got frustrated with how bad I'd become, then another 5 years, and I'm back. Only now, enjoying the process so much more
Fascinating and inspirational story here
I played guitar for my band for over 10yrs but i spent my time playing cover songs i seldom study about modes and other compicated things.. i admire u Rick.. learning lots of things from your videos.
I wish someday you put tabs on your licks, it will help us a lot. Thanks! 🎸👌
Thanks man. I needed a boost.
I stopped playing 25 years ago. 4 years ago I tried to restart plaing but I could not play as I expected , I felt my hands too old and less elastic. I could not play a chords and I stopped. Now I restart from about a month and I practice 1 hour a day enjoying very much . And trying to learn something new,. Thanks for your videos
Rick...that section around 11:50 was amazing.
Thank you so much for posting this! I taught myself to play guitar in 1980 and kept playing until 2003 and then stopped. 17 years. The calluses fell off my finger tips years ago. Anyway, I've been thinking about picking up my axe again and wondering how long it would take to get back up to speed, so I found your post today helpful. Thanks!
Rick! this is so good! incredible as always... and thank you for confirming what I decided way back then... that I had no talent whatsoever and no future playing the guitar. I'm glad that I left it up to guys like you with unimaginable talent and love for music. (I still play though.)
Like Les Paul, I suffered an injury to my left arm and it still does not straighten. I had to re-learn at age 25 and as I re-learned the guitar, the only way I could bend my arm and reach the low E string was to hold it in that manner. I had already performed for 12 years and was considered a shredder, but when I re-learned I incorporated classical elements into my country lead, so now I can play almost anything, but I still have to hold the guitar that way.
I hear a lotta 80s era Eric Johnson in that one Instagram video.
I stopped playing for about 16 years(after 15 or 16 years of playing professionally)and got back into it and had to go through the same reinvention(I was sounding really old and stale and horribly dated). It took me about 6 or 7 years to get my footing again but I have to say that now at 55 I have never played better in my life. Plus, I've learned that even when you stop you learn how to hear music as a listener again so that when you start over again it stays with you.
Necessity is the Mother of invention! Body positioning so important on any instrument.
I started playing at 14. I only knew power chords and nirvana jams when i stopped at 19 due to theft of my guitar. I picked it up at age 33. I regret not going back sooner. From 33 to 37 i learned more chords, progressions and took formal lessons. From age 37 to 42 i learned more theory, scales modes and more melodic improv. I still have the what ifs but i do like where I'm at and i know I'm right where i need to be. Thanks for teaching me Rick. Your TH-cam pupil, David
I stopped for about 8 years. Played from 10 to 20. Playing again now and about 6 months in.
Still catching back up to my old self. But man, its crazy how much faster you relearn things you once knew.
I was playing at bars with my dads band at 12 years old.
Nothing I regret more than stopping. I just wonder what could have been.
Damn.. you’re pretty good for someone who stopped playing for 25 years..
Or for someone who has played every minute for 58 years...
I'm just starting again after a five-year break. First 3.5 years I just had nothing in me (depressed I guess). Then one day went to sleep and woke up in my room which had caught on fire. Every single thing burnt to ashes, including my guitars. Just last week I finally saved enough to buy a new guitar. There is definitely a lot in me now, new music waiting for me to create it. I'm still sleeping on the floor, and only other musicians can understand why I would buy a guitar before buying a bed. :)
OMG! That Blue guitar @ 05:00
and I was today years old when I found out that Rick Beato has an awesome instagram page!!!
You should try a Strandberg, just for the comfort of the guitar. It might not sound as vintage as this one but you will feel so much lighter
I'm 60 and I play the cello and just a touch of banjo. I'm just getting serious about guitar. Brother, you Rock!
Wow Ithaca? I'm from Syracuse. Small world indeed sir. Big fan, I myself play a little bit of bass guitar, and just got myself a nice Squier Jaguar(I used electrical tape to lock the bridge in place lol). Gonna really try to buckle down and learn this thing.
Wow Rick you are a very inspirational man! I went 5 years without playing which I thought that was a long time.
I'd love to see a video on how you got your chops back. The nitty-gritty of the: practice/drills/abject boredom/grind/embracing the suck. Another video idea that I think you are qualified to do: Personally, I think musicians who learn to play by ear first and then learn to read music, theory and harmony are better musicians than people like me who are put in front of a music lesson book and taught to pluck the dots from the strings. Reading music, theory and harmony are easy skills to learn compared to hearing the difference between close intervals (I struggle to do it). Your comments and insights would be most interesting considering your background.
And if there's another COVID lockdown, it'd give me something to do.
your talent is stunning.
damn, okay. that explains how you can play that well. and especially your understanding of all the modes and stuff.
I thought it just came from all your recording experience and playing a bit for yourself.
That double cutaway Les Paul with P90s is gorgeous.
Rick you are amazing.
Wow, great story. Another idea for a list l’m sure that you have thought about, an all genre great guitarist before the modern 60’s era. The guys that come to my mind are Segovia, Django Reinhardt, Carlos Montoya, Muddy Waters, Les Paul, Chet Atkins, Scotty Moore, Robert Johnson, Kenny Burrell, etc.
More Interesting, More Intervallic, another word of wisdom learnt today! Thanks Maestro!
🌙☀️🌞Morning!
I don't practice guitar since 2013 when I started to study Anthropology (I began in 2005)
This video is a such a jewel and you are such a inspiration that I decided I will save money for a good amp and restart the soon as possible the studies
I get a 'King Crimson' vibe from this lesson. I LIKE IT !
6:37
When I started learning classical I now hold a guitar like this. now I am short so I actually get by without a foot stool. Its amazing how much I improved just by holding it like this
Rick practised four to ten hours a day.
I practise for about 30 mins a day when I'm in the mood. That's why I suck at guitar, still, after 33 years.
I stopped at age 20 as well. Started again at 40... Perfect video. I used to practice for hours every day..
I got your Beat Oh Book at 50 % off. I'll sell you my 1990 Ford Taurus SHO for 95% off. Mechanically it's a beast but the ATL sun has taken it's toll cosmetically. BTW I love the Bach video. It gave me an idea for a vacation spot. Keep up the good work!
I started playing at 14 and stopped around 24. I practiced at least 4 hours a day every day then stopped playing for 17 years. I just started playing again about 10 months now. I play when I can and I’m having a lot of fun when I do.
Secret is not to try to set the world on fire and just enjoy. That’s what it’s all about.
