I once commented on your late nite stream that at 64 I was probably to old to learn music theory,which was the topic that night .And you said “Jason 64 is not to old no way”.So I hung my hat on that ,got the Book and am slowly making progress.
So thank you Rick.
There you go!!
Right on man, it always helps to have someone to ask questions... friend request me on Facebook and I'll give you all the help you want... as slow or fast as you wish.

My profile pic is a funny symbol with a purple background.
Kick ass! I have several students who are north of 50 and 60, and they generally have no experience playing an instrument before starting. It's never too late to improve and have fun.
You rock, Jason!
Hi, Rick!
Dig your channel and methods. Getting some real key knowledge from you.
I bought your book partly to say thank you and sponsor your work a bit, and partly for its actual utility.
Oh, I am in my fifties and returning to music after a long abscence. I really appreciate you making the learning/ re-learning of it a little easier :)
Thank you :)

I went to music school at age 50 last year. Lasted 4 months. Quite the disappointment as I took quite a gamble to follow the dream I had at 18.
Tony Robins can't hold a candle to Rick Beato. Never has a motivational video been so inspiring as Rick's are, even when he hasn't intended them to be motivational videos. Thank you Rick.
To sum up :
1. Believe in one's objective value of yourself. ( Mother)
2. Never rely on formal education only.
3. Have a plenty great ideas, but finish each idea. Success means you finish the product.
4. Courage. Believe in what you good at and make it. Everyone at least has one thing that he/she good at. If music is what you good at, don't be discouraged.
5. Be honest to yourself. If you good or stink at anything, just be honest.
6. Your taste is unique. It doesn't mean bad.
7. Accept criticism and feedback. Reflect in the past, but living in the present, and plan for the future.
8. Be persistent. Be obsessed.
Rick is honest. He's someone you want to be his friend. This pep talk video is no BS. ❤️
"Having that single-minded focus is really the key to be good at anything."
"If you think that you're not gonna be successful at something, you're not gonna be successful. Period."
Thanks for this summary. Just copied and pasted onto my desktop!
"Never rely on formal education only". NAILED IT. Relying only on formal education KILLED my potential and narrowed my horizon.
aged 60 and having tried constantly for over 40 years now I can confidently add to those: 'Network network network (its thee most important thing and the main reason I did not become succesful), Be lucky (may seem odd, but without some degree of luck you are not going to succeed - right place/right time), Be highly focused on your style (don't wander all over the place, or attempt to record stuff you think is 'on-trend' it doesn't work).
@@steviesavage Spot on.
Rick, your story is mine. Took me 34 years before I took the first step towards success. The gamechanger for me was when my mom told me I could accomplish anything I put my mind to. Before that I wallowed in every inferiority complex. At 50 I started music, and heading into composing. That which we avoid because of fear can potentially become our crowning achievements.
I wish all parents would be positive and encouraging, like your mother! She sounds fantastic.
I seriously remember when this concept of "why not me" ? hit me hard... it hit me at some point early in my career as a professional drummer... I thought "Someone is writing the music for these video games my daughter and I play together... Why can't this "someone be me"? It's a powerful concept ... very powerful... Too many people give up before they even try because they think they are not "that Guy" or "That Girl" ...
After years of hard work, and hundreds of thousands of dollars spent, I can assure you that there are two things you cannot control in your destiny: fan support, and luck. Support means you can make a profit, and luck means you'll get the support. Luck is the most important aspect of this. Sure, you need to be ready, but if you are not lucky...
Absolutely true: my dad told me that I wouldn't amount to a hill of beans. So I have spent my life (82 years) proving him right.
Haha! Fantastic 82 years to prove him right :)
Dark humor, bro.
If you're following this channel you've got some great beanstalks you can climb.
You sir. have a great sense of humor. most people actually don't. so I'll say that thats a hell of a stack of beans you've got right there!
Love these types of videos on mindset. I think it's the most common "secret" behind every successful person. They've thought about their work critically and are driven to get better.
As a relatively new father, I can appreciate just how such a profound expression of love that was from your mother.
Thanks Rick, your School Experience is EXACTLY like mine. I was absolutely HORRIBLE from K-12. So I Hated, not just disliked....HATED everything about it. School was PRISON from K-12. After High School at age-17, I Toured with Up With People (on Drums) to 100 cities in the USA, Spain, Canada, Mexico, Portugal etc. Since my High School Grade Point was a C-minus, I could NOT get into a 4-year University. So after that UWP Tour, I went to a 2-year Community College on Academic Probation at age 18 and got STRAIGHT A's in EVERY Class, made the Deans-List. Then finally graduated from college with a BA in Music 8-years late. My point is when I was Really Ready, School was Great, Fun, and no longer a Problem. Then I Thanks for your excellent discussion about Success. So VERY Important.
I’m 46 now and feel like I’m just getting started. Lack of confidence has always been my hurdle, and constant “imposter syndrome” in anything I’ve done. I teach guitar and play gigs but constantly feel under qualified, which is really a result of what you spoke about at the beginning about positive reinforcement for kids. I never had that so I’ve had to build it myself. I even started a UA-cam channel and one of my videos has exceeded 40k views but I’ve been hindered doing much more by that old mindset.
I saw your video today and it’s been really inspiring and very timely. Thankyou so much for bearing your soul, telling your story and being real, it helps so many of us, you are a fantastic teacher.
I wanted to say that I was a horrible student all the way through high school myself. In fact, I had to take some correspondence courses in order to be able to graduate from high school. I received many grades of F on my report cards. However, it had nothing to do with a lack of intelligence. I simply did not fit into the system, and also came from a broken household where nobody took an interest in me. I went on to college where I got mostly As. None of the teachers would have believed it.
mountain bear Congratulations for your successes! Keep going and believe in yourself 😃
@mountain bear, I was the same way. Had the exact background as you. It sucked, but we survived!
I have heard many such anecdotes. And you're right, the kind of household you come from plays a big part in your approach to school. Well done to you.
Same here! I've owned my own electrical contracting business for 10 years now.... school of "hard knocks" can pay off..... We weren't all born to be sheeple...😉😉
Your Mother was wise and raised a great teacher.
Jeffery Hammer I wish she was my mother. She sounds great.
Always try learning from everyone and everything but remember Rick's mom's words: "They don't know how to teach you, you are smarter than the teachers"
Amazing!
Thanks man. This kind of self-disclosure from someone who's gone down the kind of path you have professionally is a gift.
Having suffered a stroke in 2001, I remember telling the therapist that I want to play the guitar again
It was that I never quit and persevered that made it a reality that I play today
It was your channel that has inspired me to go further into music theory and to higher in my playing
The same concepts you speak about that make you successful in any industry
That's wonderful! I wish you continued good health & success.
Rick Beato’s utterances are wisdom whether it is scales, chords or progressions!
Hey Rick for someone who was not taught well in school, you turned out to be a great teacher. Your presentations are always so interesting and we do feel your love of music. I don't watch the news anymore my favorite entertainment is UA-cam and by far your channel beats them all. What you have is very contagious and it would not surprise me that in the near future your followers will keep growing beyond your own expectation. Keep up the good work.
Thabk you for this Rick. I just turned 27 in May and after a life full if failure and excuses I decided I'm going to better myself. Over the past few years I've donr everything I can to better myself and dedicated myself to playing guitar, learning theory and would like to do UA-cam and record. I did do these things in high school but was always an awful student and never had any positive reinforcement but looking at people like you, Rhett, Rob Chapman etc have really motivated me and showed me that if you work hard and try to get better you can be successful.
How are you doing these days my man?
I can relate to this & its so similar re: school experience. I would argue that we didn't have a learning issue and that the problem is the US school system of teaching. 1 size doesn't fit all & they do not lean towards helping or encouraging those in the Arts world. My mother was a teacher & told me the exact same things your mom told you & you're right, it stays with us forever. One of your fav musos Sting, who taught early on, once said something that I never forgot & used when I taught for a while, he said "We really can't teach anyone anything, we can just create an environment where they are eager to learn." I think that sums up your page & you Rick, you're not forcing or pushing anything on anyone you're just doing what you love & are great at & the joy shines through. Thats something everyone wants to be a part of & is eager to "learn" how they can participate. Forget 1m Subs, you're going much higher!
So true, we all have baggage of one kind or another. The only way to succeed in what we want is to overcome it and create a mindset of success. This is a great video Rick.
Sounds like we all can be thankful that Mrs. Beato supported and encouraged Rick from a very young age. Now Rick is encouraging and supporting other musicians and channels to spread the knowledge and love of music!
"Surround yourself with people that have good taste, that are smarter than you, that are willing to tell you what they really think... thats invaluable!"
Wisdom right there, this is why this channel rocks!
I read this comment at the exact moment that he said it in the video. Wicked!
This is so inspirational. Thank you, and congrats on your career and your 1M subscribers! I'm loving your book, btw.
Rick, thanks for this. You're a good soul. 🎸
Rick's experience of teachers, erratic concentration/comprehension and learning difficulties are typical of many talented and self-taught people on the Asperger's spectrum. Ignorant teachers can severely impede education.
Us: How does he have such a full head of hair at 57?
Beato: I didn’t get married until I was in my 40’s.
Lmao RIGHT!!! lmao 😂😂😂 💀
Secretive, guarded people tend to be less creative as a general rule. Creative, productive people have no problem in sharing their ideas because they have new ideas coming along all the time. I have known a few people who protect and guard their ideas with their life because they don't have many ideas to begin with. Most really creative people are happy to share their knowledge. This is why I love the videos by Rick Beato, Warren Huart etc. They've got so much going on, they don't feel the need to keep anything from the likes of us.
I love the pep talks. I watch people play on UA-cam, sometimes, and I can't do that, yet. I get discouraged and the pep talks from both you and Rhett spur me on to keep going. Thank you.
Seeing the well-deserved 1M next to your handle warms the cockles of my heart, as I'm sure it does yours. Keep up the great work!
You're very fortunate to have had the support of your mom, she was your saving grace. Parents are so important, I personally lost mine and was placed with my 20 year older than me brother and his vengeful wife where they did everything in their (her) power to undermine any positive aspect of my being before casting me out into the world at 16. Needless to say, I've struggled my entire life. Like so many kids I started to play the guitar at 13, at 17 I started performing solo and was a immediate hit which freaked me out when I walked into a performance expecting a handful of people only to discover it was standing room only. I froze essentially and stopped persueing performing as I had no support system for which to turn. I played for myself a little off and on after that until I found an electric guitar in a second hand store at 51, it was the first time I had ever had one. 3 years later I picked it up and started to play and have been seriously playing and writing again since. It is nice of you to have shared your story and to share your knowledge. Thanks
Thank you, Rick! Yes, life will give you everything you can handle and more sometimes. Thanks for the pep talk. Perfect timing!
Thanks Rick. I’m looking at my 9 year old here and it’s wonderful to hear your Mums approach and how it stuck with you. I will remember it
If I could do a video of “what makes this video great?” It would be that Rick is a great teacher, a born story teller. He teaches us to find the great inside ourselves and follow that and don’t give up. You are more than a musician Rick. You are helping self esteems all over the world. Don’t stop. We need you!
Your honesty really shines in these videos Rick. You have obviously taken in the best parts of your life and recognized them and the need to teach, much more than just music. You are really good at it too.
I love to read through the comments section of your videos and it seems you have found something special, at a time it is really needed. Thanks
Thanks for the great talk. I'm reminded of my high school band director back in the '60's, John H. Pearson. He gave great pep talks, too. In fact he's the only teacher I had that I can still remember. I can close my eyes and I'm back in the band hall listening to him talk about music. I learned a lot of life lessons in those years in the band that have stayed with me for over 50 years. Thanks Mr. Pearson and thank you Rick.
Rick, my 13 year old Triple Triggers and I watch you.. I'm going to make sure they watch what you are sharing here. You are a very kind person and I'd like to say from a father of young musicians, thank you Rick, Bless you..
PS I loved the famous keyboard intros..
Thank you so much Rick!😊❤️ you are, hands down, one of the best UA-camrs today! Love you man and keep doing what you are doing!
I've learned more, musically, from your channel than any other source. Thanks, Rick!
Rick, I love your videos and I admire you so much, but after watching this, the respect and admiration I have for you went up 1000%. Thank you for being such a genuine person and for the always excellent content you so eloquently share with us.
Rick, I love your transparency. Thank God for your mom, her words are echoing through you. Thank you for speaking her words to us.
The prime impetitus, that inspires me to watch your videos, is your devotion, enthusiasm and dedication to your music, your craft, your industry. Thank you.
This is a great video, story, and core message, Rick. Thanks for making this!
Surrounding yourself with great people, not taking things personally, and getting stuff done are all wonderful recommendations
Cool video.
One of my favorite quotes goes something like this..."If you think you can do it, or if you think you can't do it, you are right"
❤
Mr.Beato i had on and off years. It was like for some reason i couldnt do good on the even years i felt cursed. In my second year for College, Berklee Online, I became undone with it all. Back when i was in HS my final year dragged out into 2 years. For a year i stayed away from playing electric guitar and played accoustic guitar instead. Was very theraputic and helped me back into playing electric guitar. After everything id say that these vids are singlehandedly a panacea for when ur feeling down on ur luck as a musician/instrumentalist. I am so greatfull for finding this channel. Have a great weekend!
I love videos like this! I follow a lot of youtube channels of varying topics, and these are my favorite type of videos. I didn't have a ton of support as a kid, and still don't really, but these are always a good reminder that I can actually do what I want to do as long as I'm willing to put in the work required. I think videos like this will end up helping a lot of people.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step
Lao Tzu 👍🏽
It just sucks when that first step is off a cliff...
Always encourage your kids when they’re young in finding what they’re good at!
A journey of a single step starts with 1000 miles of failure.
...and ends when you've invented something faster than walking.
or a half step... -2nd.
You're right, Rick! Just starting is the most difficult part. It's starting/breaking a habit. You're starting the habit of sitting down and starting that thing and breaking the habit of not starting. It can be difficult at times but if you do it often enough it BECOMES engrained in your subconscious thus becoming a habit. Thank you for the video!
Thanks for everything you do Rick! You knowledge and content are 2nd to none.
Thanks for the encouragement Rick. I totally agree that everyone needs this... with all the potential negative voices within our heads, an outside voice of encouragement is a beautiful thing.
Thank you so much, Rick, for all that you do! I'm not a musician (I wish) but music is what I love more than anything. And you have taught me, a layperson, so much about it. It's information that enriches, tenfold, my experience of just listening to music, my favorite thing to do. You're the best!
Congrats on a million buddy, this channel has helped me a ton!
You are an extraordinary teacher, Rick. Because of your ability to communicate. Your amazing, Sir.
"Anyone can be successful." - Rick Beato.
I would take this one step further and say "EVERYONE can be successful." Life isn't a competition with everyone else, where there are only a few winners and therefore lots and lots of "losers".
I'm not saying, everyone gets a trophy or a "star" sticker like you got in nursery school, just for showing up. Really it's about this: Doing your best. Truly pushing yourself to improve can be the hardest thing you ever do, no matter what your goal may be! Man, if you are REALLY doing your BEST?... then take a look in the mirror... that is what success looks like - be proud of it! Peace.
This is for my son, Nick Bonin, who's music career is 100% about his hard work and dedication - he never gave up!
Thank you for the pep talk, Rick. I needed that.
Once again, your honesty, integrity, knowledge and humility is inspiring. Sometimes it's like hearing my own story and you give me hope. Thank You Rick!
Amazing testimony Rick - so grateful for your experience, honesty and talent - you are a jewel to all your followers - God bless you
You are a great teacher Rick! Thank you for the boost I definitely needed!
Rick, you are legend. You have a very inspiring and refreshing personality. You give myself and millions of others great advice and just make people smile and feel good with music. Keep it up man you literally rock!
If you do good things in the world, good things will come to you. This is what you are doing Rick. I always learn something every time I watch your channel because your videos have great musical information, but the key is still hard work. You have done the hard work throughout your career, so thank you for sharing the fruits if your labour with us.
Your the man Rick,
The curious always outlast the “Expecters”
It’s easy to spot one, just look to see who’s not having any fun doing their “passion” and stay away
I don't come to your channel, or any other of the music channels I follow, for amazing looking video production. I come for the straight honest scoop. It is an AMAZING time we are living in! But the key for me is honesty. I had a few music teachers along the way (in my 50s) who did make things seem like "secrets" - nope. It takes commitment and work, but we all can learn and grow. Love your videos.
I've loved your music- based videos for as long as I've been a subscriber, but in my opinion this video is the best you've made. The positive angle on what it takes to be successful is spot on. It takes determination, grit, patience and hard work. People need to know that it truly is within everyone's reach if they double down and work for it. Perhaps it's better said... "Watch what I do, not what I say"... because you do it time and time again. Thanks.
Rick, I have told every one I know to watch your videos. Like you, I am a bad speller, but better at some things. Wish I could talk to you in person. Love IT!!
This vid makes me appreciate my mother. I So glad that you post things like this.
Love the opening silence with that “look”. Hey I sing in a band at 52 years old. Been singing publicly for only about 10 yrs the last 2 or 3 in local bar bands. It’s been a hidden talent that has lately rewarded me in a deep personal way. I still have the mindset of I didn’t hit my peak yet. Yes at almost 53 yrs old. !!.
This makes me so happy & gives me hope. I'm 51. Used to sing at my church, did a couple weddings for friends. Took voice lessons for many years. Real Life has kicked me around the past few years. I hope it's not too late for me to somehow get back to singing in some fashion or other.
Thank you for this message. I am an author. I was a writer for years, but never finished. Now I have 3 published books, about to release number 4 and 5, and being a finisher put me over the top. Your message hits home.
Thank you for the pep talk, Rick. Bookmarked this page for when I need a bit of encouragement. FWIW, I've never seen a bad video on your channel, ever. You always get your point across well and you really do have a gift for teaching.
Rick, love your story, I had the same learning issues and it was also my Mum who told me that the problem was with the teachers, not me. Well, I’m the same age as you, I’ve been very successful in my life, despite not going to college after high school, I ended up doing it part time years later and even got an MBA. I’ve traveled the World, had some very high paying jobs in marketing, operations and aviation...my Mum always said, you can do anything, make them tell you no. If you want to do it, if you believe you can, you will, if you believe you can’t, you won’t. Never stop learning, and learn from your mistakes. No, thanks to you and Marty, I’m learning guitar at 57 and enjoying it immensely. Thanks for all you do.
Amazing anecdotes of your childhood. The approach and methodology of the work is what draws visits to your channel. It just keeps getting better with time. Keep up the outstanding work.
I just found you last year, trying to catch up, it helps to mention your early work. Mine gets better as I learn... I'm so happy to have this tech, waiting 50 years to get.
I really appreciate what you share with us and look forward to your updates.
Rick, its 12 Jan 2022, and I am recovering from my bout with covid and ran across this video. So glad that I watched. You & I are about the same age and much of early your life track you described mirrors my own. I have only been a student of guitar for ten years, but it has opened up a whole new world for me, -an escape really, that I otherwise would not experience in my heavily industrial sales life. Simply stated, the experiences you learned from, the upbringing of your parents, your persistence, and will to do whatever is necessary to achieve a positive outcome inevitably results in success. This is a lesson for achievement for whatever field of endeavor one engages in. I truly enjoy your videos. Best regards, Jeff
No you are the best Rick. Thanks for that pep talk. I needed it today.
I love this video. There is some power in the ideas, thoughts, planning, etc. The real power is in the doing. Just start - that's the hardest part. Well done!
I'm so glad I came across your channel. You do such a great job of inspiring and teaching us. Thanks Mr. Beato!
Your live streams are so encouraging! Love you mate
Rick. Ignore the haters. You are a musical touchstone for me.
Dude your the best.
Agreed. Rick Rocks. Literally, and figuratively
There are two things in life that are more important than anything. Finding love, and finding your true gift and sharing it with the world. Rick, you have been one of the few who have discovered both. Thanks for all you do.
Tremendous words of wisdom and encouragement, Rick. You are adding so much to my life, and I'm certain, the lives of others. Thank you for giving so freely. You're not only an amazing teacher, but an amazing human being.
Rick, this may be your most important video. Thanks.
This is, probably, your single best podcast. True honesty can't be faked. Vulnerability is strength. Retrospection is vision. Thank you.
Thank you Scott!
I need to hear this EVERY DAY. Thanks Rick.
Rick, you break complex things down. Thank you for your gift
exposure and preparation when the chance happens is everything in having success. I appreciate these stories. Very humble approach about the types of struggles people face in music and life
Rick,
I love your channel because there is intellectual content in your videos. Plus, I remember being left handed and poor growing up I had misconceptions and a lack of funds. Plus because of a cost of playing an instrument, my parents,mainly my dad, didn't encourage it. So, I started singing. Now, I didn't learn how to play anything on the guitar until I was 30.
You are the best Rick. Thank you for posting these brilliant videos.
Hi Rick, I had a strict Italian father who discouraged from being a musician , who wanted me to be a doctor or a lawyer but my mother believed in me and I started when I was 12 , now im 61 , played in lot of bands and I will never stop and I love your videos and I will never stop learning , thankyou for your heart Rick , Frank from Australia
I, for one, love any advice and motivation...especially from Rick! thanks again! Love your channel sir!!
I'm sitting here listing to you again and I recognize myself in you again. I had a mom that pushed me forward. I was never good in school grade school and high school. I was always good in art and music. I could sit down and just play any instrument. I played every band instrument in high school and really just switch from one to another. Art is second nature. But I really relate with you. You do more then just talk about music your are dynamic and can get the information across the idea the feel. I wish I were close to Atlanta I would love to take some privet lessons with you . Listing to you talk about ideas in what makes this song great I have learned so much about things I wasn't hearing in the music that you are hearing. Keep doing the great videos.
i identify so much with what you said about not being able to learn lessons in school. i could never understand why i could not learn like the other kids. I enjoy looking at your videos and learning from them. your a better teacher on here then any I have ever had. thank you
I needed this pep talk. Thank you!
Missed you live, bummer! catching up now. Thanks Rick! Great content, per usual
Paralysis is a killer. I've known so many talented musicians kill bands because they can't get past their paralysis.
You are Awesome Rick ! You make my day! Keep on fighting the good fight!
Maaan , you have no idea how much i share with you.. just i became a singing teacher:-)) it was so hard but at least you had a family, which i disn't hae the luck . Loved that video with your aunt Penny ( RIP) i can see her in you! When people give you so much love , you transform it into mimentum and trust in yourself. Love your videos and it inspires me to also move forward with my work! Thanks!💫🙏🏽💫🙏🏽💚🌱🚀
Thanks for doing this video! I too stunk at school and had reading problems at a prime development age. I'm in the very beginnings of starting a music career in my 50's. I don't care whether I fail or succeed. I believe in it. Words like this really help!
Thank you for this video, Rick. I’ve been struggling with this exact thing now (more than ever before). It really helps someone like me to get a talk like this from a guy who has put in the time, put in the effort, gone through the struggles, and come out on the other side.
Thanks Rick....This encouraging video came at the right time for me....Music is a constant struggle to grow, improve, learn....Learning to deal with all those self doubts!
