Sometimes I mess up and accidentally play the same note on two different strings, I didn't know it could sound this cool though. I'll definitely find a way to make this work in my playing.
When you first see Rick you think he’d be another older guy who just plays intermediate blues but then he just starts shredding better than 90% of guitarist in Metal
In a good way for some reason this progession reminds me of Sail on Soothsayer by Buckethead. I dont have a clue what he is playing though! Enjoyed the video!!!!!!!
I like doing that too. Guitar and instruments like it are amongst the few that can actually play unisons on one instrument. So I like doing it, even though it's incredibly subtle haha. I'm not sure if anyone ever knows I'm doing it, but I know I'm doing it and that's enough for me lol.
Playing the guitar for twenty some years I still haven't got the theoretical insight, but I definitely like what I'm hearing here! So Rick, if you're reading this, have you written any great songs that you you would like to break down for us? Not just the cords, but more like the whole process? Greetings from Norway 🤠
I have never played guitar, but on New years '89 eve shooting pool at a party I was playing air guitar on my cue and my friend asked me what song I was playin? BTW he's been a guitar player since he was a kid 🤯. I was air guitaring to Rush Freewill in my head...🎸🤘
I always consider aeolian as natural minor because of the book I learned guitar from. I always consider harmonic and and melodic minor to be alternative options rather than actual minor scales
I wish I had some music theory knowledge or a teacher like u ...but I didn't dedicated enough on my guitar playing instead wasted time on other things now I regret it.....I just wasted time ....there is a saying u can't gain any knowledge without a teacher by ur side so damn true...I wish I went to a teacher instead of learning it myself...
Dude I’m so so far behind on theory… I’m grabbing info from everywhere the last few years , but a lot of this I watch hoping someday it will all click…
You can try playing extended pentas with unison!! Meaning two pentas that are consecutive, big stretches, by the way that Em add 9 sounds like a E7#9 👍
Hey Rick before jumping around could you please explain the hell across the string Unison is? Quick lesson I'm going to say a thing and then I'm not going to explain what it is. Not cool bro
The difference in sound is small, but noticeable, at least to me. The notes sort of "connect" with each other a lot more than they would just picking the same note on the same string. It's the closest thing, I would say, to repeatedly playing a single note, but legato. Your point about it "flowing better for the right hand" might be correct in practice, but in theory, I would think playing a moving line similar to what Rick plays here would give the left hand maybe a slightly easier job to do. If you were to pick a note on the same string twice, and then transition into another flurry of notes, your left hand would have to remember to stop for a split-second and then instantly start moving around the fretboard again, whereas if you were to do it the other way, your left hand would just have to constantly be moving, which might be more physically taxing, but is easier to remember than "move, stop here, and then move." So no, playing the same note on the same string isn't wrong, but if you experiment with it, you may find that using different strings for the same note helps to give your phrases a smoother sound. I hope this helps!
i love these clips, i have no idea what he's saying, but the music is lovely.
Sounds like you need the beato book, that would not only help him but teach you what he says and means
Or a teacher.
or a skateboard nooor........

“Like that” after what I could only call sorcery. What a legend
Rick you just bring so much more enjoyment to music I just wanted to thank you for that.
All these licks make me feel like I've been up for 12 hours playing pacman.
Disclaimer: NEVER lick a secret weapon!
me just sitting here watching Rick's videos like I know what he's talking about
God dammit dude it's too good, have you tried tapping the riffs.
.. I want royalties

when?
@@freezingcathedral never he sucks

Dang maestro, it looked like you had six fingers on your left hand there for a minute.
Great admiration to guitarists who are able to glide so inventively around the fret board.
What is the atmospheric effect playing in the background? Is that a loop pedal or something?
This is what I came here to ask. I hope my reply bumps the question up.
I like doing that too.
Guitar and instruments like it are amongst the few that can actually play unisons on one instrument. So I like doing it, even though it's incredibly subtle haha. I'm not sure if anyone ever knows I'm doing it, but I know I'm doing it and that's enough for me lol.
Polyphonic instruments is the categorization you are thinking about I believe
Beautiful SG Rick. As always you've blown my mind and humbled me at the same time.
These shorts are great for my ADD keep ‘me coming!
Thank you Rick for all you do! Scott Henderson uses cross string unions in some of his lines.

Rick, will you release an improv based around some of these atmospheric sounds ?
Cross string with some unison and sus2 , love it!
Beautiful SG!!

The unisons makes it kinda kinda sparkly
That’s a great SG!
Simply sublime lick from a great musician.
Rick. I just got love your shows. Would you consider doing a show on syncopation ...maybe some examples? That would be so cool!!
Since I don’t play any instrument, this all looks like fucking magic to me. Nonetheless, I find it fascinating.
Jaco used to do this beautifully… It’s really hard to imitate but sounds great if you can nail it
What a gift to all guitar players you are Rick…
The boss !
That sounded exciting to my ears
Sounds like a technique Frank used. 👍🏼
I bought the Beato book and just got the update.....thank you so much for the guide it's making alot more sense to my feeble brain.
I always feel like Billy Madison when he is learning Spanish. “Slow down” lol
This lick is pure expression, but please post your entire Signal Chain!!
Love it!
I always watch in amazement. I lost the use of my ring finger a few ago. I must use my pinky in place of my ring finger. Have you any licks???
In the E minor phrase, it was very Bulb of you!
Man that guy is great
So smooth 🙌💯
Unfortunately my hands can't do what Rick's can do...
Very Robert Fripp
Thankyou Rick !!you rock
Like Eric Johnson doing an intro solo for Night Falls Down from Judas Priest
Great lighting !!
Thought saul was boutta come out at first
Sr. You are amazing!!
The pad that he uses in the background is by far the most beautiful sounding pad
Mannnnnn love your stuff
Rick makes the best shorts 🩳 😅
Rick did you try to give me a Fender guitar this morning?
How is that sg defining gravity in the beginning? If you know, you're with me.
You are great❤
Very good Rick,.. Reminds me of Vinnie Moore
Love the lines
The evolution of chuck berry…
how many books do I have to study to be able to master guitar like you, sir.....
So sick!
I always consider aeolian as natural minor because of the book I learned guitar from. I always consider harmonic and and melodic minor to be alternative options rather than actual minor scales
um... aeolian is natural minor...
@@freezingcathedral I know. It's just that the way he spoke in the video implied to me that he was teaching as if it wasn't.
I wish I had some music theory knowledge or a teacher like u ...but I didn't dedicated enough on my guitar playing instead wasted time on other things now I regret it.....I just wasted time ....there is a saying u can't gain any knowledge without a teacher by ur side so damn true...I wish I went to a teacher instead of learning it myself...
Really cold links in these shorts
Awesome!
I have no idea what he’s talking about.....but I like it
Really cool! 😎
🤣🤣🤣 see you in about 10 years 🤣🤣🤣🤳🙏🎶🎵🏋️💯
False fingerings, gotta love em
Yeah, “like that!” 😢
Please can we switch brains?😂
Rick, could you do something on Macarthur Park by Richard Harris?
First impressions Atmospheric,,
How come I never think of playing stuff like this?
Sounds like Zappa
Too much talkin', not enough rockin'!
what you think about the guitar intro and solo of "no podrás - cristian castro".
Most of what I've heard you play are Steely Dan ish , I take it that you w
Rick did you contact me with a surprise package of a fender guitar this morning?
Dude I’m so so far behind on theory… I’m grabbing info from everywhere the last few years , but a lot of this I watch hoping someday it will all click…
sounds right
What's this pad FX?
Gorgeous
NEED… TABS…
Rick, how do I send you a question on your UA-cam channel?
Very Zappa ish

Nice
Whats the name of that pedal? 😮
I like his videos, but he might as well be speaking ancient Egyptian
Ouch. That hurt my ❤️. I feel confused. Cry or screw..:::😅😂
Hey Rick before jumping around could you please explain the hell across the string Unison is? Quick lesson I'm going to say a thing and then I'm not going to explain what it is. Not cool bro
I love YOU!!!
I wish i knew what all this meant
no tab? ;)
Best videos… just slower
It kinda sounds like "Wild Stallions" from Bill and Ted #1.
SLOW LESSON
Play for US! Please!!!
👍
Agreed, very quick, all around
Wait why not just play on the same string twice? Does it just flow better with your right hand?
The difference in sound is small, but noticeable, at least to me. The notes sort of "connect" with each other a lot more than they would just picking the same note on the same string. It's the closest thing, I would say, to repeatedly playing a single note, but legato.
