This video answered, with such clarity in description, and demonstration, what a handful of teachers and professors couldn't, wouldn't, or tried to put off until "later". The more Beato stuff like this I watch, the more my own playing grows... Thanks!
Great video! I found some interesting melodies and passages by combining those three scales and I'm working toward building the diatonic chords so that I can work in and around the keys. Mostly, I've done something like this with out the knowledge. In improvisation I'm going by chance and feel.
Come back when YOU have grey hair. And share all your knowledge then. And when you lament that the ones who were around for all this music shared their knowledge, but now are gone. It's not like when the guys from the 30s and 40s and 50s were gone. Music as you know it (and take for granted) had not happened yet. It happened in the 60s 70s and even 80s. Before you were born.
As a left-handed guitarist, I've always thought it was easier to watch and learn from right-handed guitarists. Thanks for confirming that, but watching you mirrored really messed with my brain. :P
To those for whom this is way "beyond their skill level" (like me), learning this through licks while making a note of their mode/scale and what notes you've added DOES WORK. I unknowingly got into Dorian by just copying some licks from Zeppelin's No Quarter and even Since I've Been Loving You (yes, that's a blues song with a surprising amount of Dorian in the solos).
Really appreciated your "motivational/inspirational" video/talk a day or two ago. Really hit home. Coming from you, it meant even more. The encouragement to network in order to help others get doors opened for them was also very cool. Very humble of you. I'm nobody, but I do my best to promote and encourage genius in the amazing creatives I meet in life. Thx again.
It's easier to learn harmonic/melodic minor with major simultaniously. Harmonic: you take you natural major/minor and then you want to push an augmented second between 6th and 7th degrees. The only ways to do it is to shift 7th degree up in minor (now we have harmonic minor) or to shift 6th degree down in major (now we have harmonic major). Ok. Melodic. So now we want to get rid of that augmented second between 6th and 7th but in that way so we don't return to natural scales. The only options is to shift 6th degree up in harmonic minor, and to shift 7th degree down in major (so we get melodic major and minor). Actually, harmonic scales are ex-natural scales where 7th degree stuck close to 8th note (1st degree next octave), and 6th degree stuck close to 5th. They differs in 3rd degree only, which defines whether it's a major or minor. Melodic scales are ex-natural scales where you take halves of them and change places. Thus melodic major has first half of natural major and second half of natural minor. Vice versa for melodic minor (it starts as a natural minor, ends like a natural major) Quite easy.
for me it really helps when you do the white board lesson attached to the piano lesson because I learn visually and it helps for me to see it on guitar better from the whiter board as opposed to the piano
Rick are you planning on doing any videos about Pink Floyd? Possibly a "What Makes This Song Great" video? Cheers! Also on the other side of the spectrum Paramore and John Mayer are great too and totally deserve a video imo.
So I tend to make up chord progressions using chords by the way they sound, but I don’t necessarily know their function or their name. Was wondering if you could do a segment on helping breakdown your viewers tunes and help us better understand what we’re playing when we come up with something we like
Hello Rick, congrats on the book, just purchased it. A quick suggestion guys who bought or will buy it. Could you do a video or update the pdf with some notes on how to practice all this stuff to get them into one's playing. For instance all those Drop chords could be played in the circle of fifths all over the fretboard. Or practiced over tracks? Standards? Should they all be memorized? What would you suggest to guitar teachers and students? (It would also inspire more people to buy it as well I assume)
More like we send you a video playing something original, or at least original to us the viewer, and you help break it down and explain your understanding of the structure
Just thought, If you teach a minor scale (any of 3) 'based on the major' (like, you've got a flat here, and here.. ), it's ok if you talk about C major and minor (cause they can literally visualize it too: you go flat - you go black (meaning the keys). But if someone will try to learn, say, A minor harmonic and melodic, that might be a little confusing, cause really you have sharp 7 (harmonic) and sharp 6 and 7 (melodic) (and also from the visual standpoint)..
Hey Rick! Hope you read this comment. I would be highly interested in a video comparing equal tempered tuning vs pure tempered tuning, that would be awesome!
thanx rick,,,you always help me ,,,lol,,your awesome ,,,my name is Thomas Davis ...do you like jerry garcia ..love to hear youtalk about his modes sometime ,,,we play in a grateful dead cover band called ,,chinacat jubilee in westville nj,,,weir on you tube too,,,,thanx rick,,,,maybe you can record my originals someday ...lol kidding i know your busy,,,,thanx man love your shows ,,thomas davis
I don't know about that leftie thing. I think it's more to do with what you're used to. If you often play looking in a mirror, well, then it's great. If not, probably gonna be a bit harder, though not impossible :) As a right handed person, I always wondered if lefties had an easier time playing piano. Guess you're always gonna have a weak hand with that instrument. Though having rhythm in the left, it might make some styles easier.
Rick, I love your channel. Any advice for someone like me, that can play, but is heading down the theory rabbit hole? I took lessons from Scott Devine, but unless you start already knowing jazz theory, his method is not much help. I struggle with coming across a new term and having to research more terms to understand the new one. My big problem is not knowing what I don't know!
Hello Rick! I hope you can reply to my question as I rarely see you replying to comments. I am a cinematic and trailer composer. I mainly use major, natural minor and major modes but I am feeling that I am somewhat limited by only these guys. So, I started to study harmonic and melodic minor and their modes. Now, when I put a harmonic minor and its modes in practice, I don't feel any cinematic in them. You mentioned that they can be used in film scoring but I can't feel them. Yes, they sound more jazzy than film scoring. How can I best utilize them in my tracks? ... Please note that I don't do an actual film scoring but I create epic cinematic and trailer soundtracks that are submitted to music libraries to be then used in films, TV, or video games. In other words, I am not doing a John Williams or Alan Silvestri type of scoring.
Hahaha, that is a typical guitar player. It's interesting; when u on piano, u just give us examples of scales, or rather formulas and play them. But with guitar.."soo this is melodic: pamrapapamra.. ohh and that's locrian lapaparambamummbum, aand that is altered dominant pemjepembempamouiopo"
Hello, Rick! Could you please enable community subtitles for this video because I want to add a Brazilian Portuguese subtitle. This is something I have discussed with my mother - who has a classical piano formation - but could not find very good explanations with examples online. Thanks!
As a lefty, I've always found it easier to practice or be taught by a righty across from me. haha. Even afforded me time to learn the guitar upside down.
Please help off topic question, did you ever cover Led Zeppelin: Good Times Bad Times??? So many special moments on drums, bass & guitar. Only you could do it justice. New subscriber!
video is flipped to train our weak part of the brain :)
😂
30:06 - that phrygian pentatonic is actually one of the modes of the *Hirajoshi* Japanese pentatonic scale
pentatonic sucks
Jason Becker fan by any chance?
He omits the b6 tone alot. Or atleast doesnt mention it, plays it some tho. To me it sounds like kabuki theatre and not flamenco at all haha
listening......hearing......singing......math.......music.....love to listen to you.....so many colors in the pallet...

Look up MirrorTube Extention for your browser people it's not that hard. It's youtube's fault NOT Rick's fault!

You're such a great teacher, and guitar player Rick! Would love to have lessons with a guy like you to help me break this plateau.
Rick, you are a national treasure. I'm so glad you make these videos.
Okraknife he is a global treasure
Thank you so very much ❤️ Rick for your wonderful lesson ❤️..
YOU ARE THE BEST TEACHER AND ,..MUSICIAN I THE WOORLD ,...GREATINGS FROM SERBIA ...GOD BLEESS YOUR FAMILY
23:22 “The lick.” : )
This video also serves as an intro class for "Why Editing Before Posting Is Good."
z1522 he’s on UA-cam live if you actually paid attention

Rick! You gotta turn that Aeolian/Dorian riff into a complete fusion song! ... I will BUY it !!!!
It is almost unbelievable just how good, how valuable this is! Fantastic teaching of these concepts! Thanks!!
AMAZING musical theory analysis Rick!!! And I love the mention of Animals As Leaders at the end 🤘. Keep doing what you're doing man. You're the best!!

Hello Rick!
I just let you know you have lots of fans in Czech republic so I send you one big Thank You from all of us!
Have nice weekend!
Thanks Lukas! I’m going to be right near the Czech Republic next week when I’m at GuitCon. It’s in Germany close to the border. Come on up!
I swear my dyslexia is getting bad everything seems so reverse. So, when he's ascending he's really descending and other other way around?
Watching this in ‘22. You have created a video library of music. Thank you Rick.
for me it really helps when you do the white board lesson attached to the piano lesson because I learn visually and it helps for me to see it on guitar better from the whiter board as opposed to the piano
Thanks Rick.
Those are so beautilul scales. Love it!
Rick are you planning on doing any videos about Pink Floyd? Possibly a "What Makes This Song Great" video? Cheers!

GREAT LESSONS Mr.Beato Love it THANK YOU SO MUCH

Awesome Live Stream today...just catching up now on what I missed at the beginning! ❤❤❤

Never knew you were so good at switching from right to left handed guitar! Billy McLaughlin has some competition, lol!
Rick is so amazing
So jelly of your studio, Rick!
I love when you teach at the piano
I got your Beato book interactive but I can't find where the PDF is to print it
I've been trying to find a video going in depth on this topic, thanks
I would love to see you do a "sounding off" with Larkin Poe!
Hey rick, is it possible that harmonic minor is also common used on gypsy jazz ?
thank you sir!
Thanks for the great info as always!

Thanks for this
If you don't have the Beato book -get it!
I always transcribe your videos. Good stuff here!
I love the mug, want! :) posters would be great too....
I wish you could do a version of your theory videos for us dumb rock guitar players. Kind of "special needs" theory videos.
hrosemd ...lol, for people like me! ...good idea!
Watch the video, pause and write down any terms you don't understand, look them up, re-watch video.
He has a great video called "Jazz Guitar for Rockers". Very Helpful!
Signals Music Studio channel is great for that, as is David Bennett Piano.
I second David Bennett Piano. New Jazz is another great channel
To flip the video, take your brain out of your skull, swap the left and right hemispheres around. Reinsert into skull, press play.
Sorry Rick, love you, but you’ve overcomplicated this 😀
Thise blanks in the beginning were so funny so human and so raw lol
I do believe we are here for 9:00. Entire video is great as well ;) (btw mahalo Rick)
Hey Rick! Hope you read this comment. I would be highly interested in a video comparing equal tempered tuning vs pure tempered tuning, that would be awesome!
You should write on the back side of a sheet of glass and then the face cam will flip it back to normal.
That’s a cool idea!
... or use a mirror...
That’s a really smart idea
thanx rick,,,you always help me ,,,lol,,your awesome ,,,my name is Thomas Davis ...do you like jerry garcia ..love to hear youtalk about his modes sometime ,,,we play in a grateful dead cover band called ,,chinacat jubilee in westville nj,,,weir on you tube too,,,,thanx rick,,,,maybe you can record my originals someday ...lol kidding i know your busy,,,,thanx man love your shows ,,thomas davis
Get it together, man!
I love it when you do videos like this. I learn so much.

What specifically are you asking him?

And a PERIPHERY name drop. Badass! MDjent.
Love this video by oteaB kciR, really helps
I Tried turning around but then I couldn't see you Rick :)
great Rick
Exited for the Periphery!
When did you start playing left handed?
How much did that left handed piano cost?
U R The Man
That guitarrrrr
Where do we get that book youve shown? ^#^
Rory Gallagher used to sing along to his licks too.
Phrygian Major, Rick has the names of all my secret scales. I'm busted! So... busted. [edit] WMTSG Passion Grace & Fire.
Video suggestion, maybe a breakdown of Canon in D?
I watched the fist part of this vid through my shaving mirror
Arthur Brown it’s encrypted
Nice video. Next time jazz melodic minor too!
How much for a hard copy?
can we alone used those melodic ,,natural and harmonic alone at 6th mode of the 7 guitar modes anyone im little bit too confusing
Killing my hand just watching
Please help off topic question, did you ever cover Led Zeppelin: Good Times Bad Times??? So many special moments on drums, bass & guitar. Only you could do it justice. New subscriber!
super super super video!!!!!
Hey Rick 🎶🎶🎶
As soon as he hit that Cm I started singing Could it be Magic lol (which is based on Chopin no??)
Ticked Beato
I tend to have the problem of creating a progression that sounds good, but improvising over it seems daunting
"Ev-ery reverie is on fire."🔥
dope!
Savage rick...!!!😂😂😂
heeyyy i really would of liked a video with just the white board??
Can you analyse ‘tears in heaven’ by Eric Clapton
Someone let Rick know he has a few videos floating out in utube space, that need to be flipped around🙃 ( his noodling in nice)☺️
djenting on a Grescht, now that's something :D
Mirror image :-(
1:57
Poo! I missed the "Live'. Again.
Ah well, see 'ya soon Rick.
What about lick that doest´t belong to any scale
Why we say AAL is very jazz-influenced.
love that between the 26 and 28 minute mark! 😃
tenet?
Piano players play the harmonic Minor scale
