Every scale is one of Ricks favorite scales.
Love your work
it‘s just hilarious/awesome
Except maybe the one in the bathroom. We all hate that one.
Dont forget his favorite 12 notes.
@@tofagakilifi9535 "Here is a list of 12 my favorite notes!"
His enthusiasm, his love of music, his sheer joy in spreading the gift of music, is just so infectious. He can take what many might find as absolutely, dreadfully boring, and bring it to life.
I recently bought the Beato Book, and I was going through it the other day. And I thought, "This has all the theory anyone could ever need, but I wish this came with a workbook that would help me with how to practice and apply all this."
Then I realized that Rick's UA-cam videos ARE the workbook for the Beato Book! Great stuff, Rick!
Check out 'Oliver prehn'.. I prefer his teaching.
Happened to me definitely helps to hear it, see examples.
Same here
This is the first time someone explains modes so it makes sense to me. Brilliant teacher!
My favorite acronym for the Modes: I Don't Play Like Mozart After Lunch. Love ya rick! You're the reason I started my channel!
Hearing the modes harmonically made the flavor of the modes much clearer to me and made me more motivated to learn them. I recognized many chords from tunes I’ve heard. Quite a revelation.
The Mixolydian piano parts you played around 13 mins gave me goosebumps, Rick.
You're awesome! I am blessed! Long live Rick, the best music teacher I ever had!
My name is Billy so when he says, “What’s up Billy”, it’s like He’s talking to me 😊.
Also, more importantly, these videos have helped me so much in understanding modes and theory in general. I also like that Rick seems like a down to earth guy; he’s not trying to make things confusing to show how much he knows or anything like that (although he obviously knows a lot). I wish I had found his videos a long time ago.
Loved that you referenced the pages in the Beato Book!!
there is a symmetry about the circled semitones, in the drawing, how nice 🎹 (in the modes of major)
Could you maybe include the visual piano at the bottom of the screen like you sometimes do? Love your videos, Rick! Thank you 🙏🏻
Thank you Uncle Rick for all the teaching you do! What a delightful and informative lesson.
Major is happy because of it's relationship to the harmonic overtone series of the root. It is home base for this reason. Lydian and Mixolydian are Home base often too for the same reason. The further away we get from the overtone series the sadder we get.
Leonard Bernstein "Young People's Concert: What is a Mode?", is the best music master class.
Rick Beato is our modern incarnation of Leonard Bernstein.
@@MikeCarvin The modern Bernstein? ... Well, they both come from immigrant families, they both have surnames that start with "B", they are both musicians, Bernstein composed west side story, Beato wrote that song, what was it called? Bernstein studied at Harvard, Beato at Ithaca, Bernstein was the director of the New York philharmonic, Beato is a successfully UA-camr, Bernstein won eight Grammys, ... and has a 3-foot-long Wikipedia page. I wonder... is Rick Beato the modern Bernstein? don't ask him, he won’t agree and would be embarrassed by the comparison.
@@santosateos1452 wow, you sound like a snob!!
Good on ya! 🤣
Well, all Americans come from immigrant families, unless they are native-American.
Wishing you endless akaal.
Peace and joy to you and your family.
Rick is a friggin dictionary 💪
Great that you also indicated where the half-steps are this time. It not only defines the sound, but is also conceptually important to understand where the differences between the modes come from.
Thank you, Rick. Clearly and well stated, and each time I watch I get something new out if it.
Finally somebody speaking about modes as I always wanted to listen!
Thank you Rick!!
Us? Awesome? No, Rick. YOU'RE awesome!!! I am learning SO MUCH from you!
Love your lessons Rick! You're opening up my understanding and ears!! Thank you!
Thank you Rick.
@rickbeato in the "golden era of rock":
a) information like this was hard to come by
b) music technology was super-expensive and in many cases quite primitive
c) yet the music was brilliant
d) production standards were stunning.
Spool forward to today:
a) people are giving away genius-level musical tips FOR FREE on UA-cam
b) music technology is cheap and so advanced you can make a tune on your phone
c) melody has almost completely died
d) production standards have imploded.
What do you make of that??
Thank you Ric for taken the time and effort for these great videos. This video has helped me a lot and will give new idea.
Hello Rick,
Started to study the scale modes from the book. I am able now to play the short, string chamber orchestra with A mixolydian on keyboard.
Thank you so much for this !
Every day we become a better musician !
Greetings,
Rik Dedeene from Belgium .
Seeing the keys would definitely help. Great discussion!
Rick, the things you are doing are amazing!
What a great explanation
Thank you rick
When you tell people it’s “simple if you just memorize it”. Would be helpful if you would talk about the process of memorizing using specific techniques specific to this modal exercise. That was an awesome lesson. A great way to frame it in terms of creativity and getting sounds that you like. It’s like a pallet of colors for a painter.
The maj scale has 7 modes. And 7 box positions.
Each box scale is the mode begining.
Learn 7 positions of the maj scale, they always go one after another.
If you learn the 7 positions you have therefore learned all major scales, all minor scales, all modes.
7 boxes, 7 positions, and you then know all modes too lol
The boring truth about memorizing is repetition, repetition, repetition. You have to constantly live, breathe, and review.
@@logofthelex2668 There are methods for repetition inside given subject matter. I’m at Music Teacher with a bachelors degree in jazz performance. I don’t tell people to memorize stuff. I tell them how to memorize stuff.
@@midi1529 i’ve been playing guitar for 35 years and 25 have been professional. I’ve taught thousands of lessons with my music company. I already understand how my brain memorizes. I wanted Rick to show how he teaches memorization. Thx
MrLock... i am a NP Practitione. We teach. I hope this will help period There are seven main learning styles period there is the visual and spatial learner they prefer learning things by observing them period there are auditory or Aural learners. There are verbal Learners. There are physical and kinetic learners who learn by touching and feeling things. There are logical mathematical Learners. There are social and interpersonal learners. There are solitary an interpersonal Learners who work by themselves best. Rick may be able to distinguish your learning style and provide information based upon his observations of you. However and therefore it is imperative that you decide what type of learner you are. I for instance ma read-write learner where after I read it I write it down many times and I immediately retain about 80% of what I've written. It's your job to find out what type of learner you are. Those can be summed up as the main four types which are visual, auditory, reading and writing, and kinesthetic. I have used every single version of learning style available to teach or train a patient and how to manage their own chronic diseases and I also used all four types of those over the last 18 years of college before becoming a doctor.
I mostly used tactile and read write in music, jimi, robin, and winter, with a lot of hoodoo magic lol. Best of luck
The music theory videos are my favorite, Rick. Thank you.
Awesome! You were born to Teach, Rick, bravissimo! There may be quicker methods, like those saying the modes don't matter anymore it's really just minor and major etc..
But a composition's context can take such rapid twisturns & quickly make listeners mood change, I think modes are relevant as ever.. They make mapping songs more interesting due their constaints, unlike it being wide open. Mk-Sns? Teaching also could get a lot more complicated, unnecessarily. Back up to my original statement, you seem to pick just the right balance between those two. I don't know about everybody, but I, and I'm sure a majority of watchers, appreciate the hell out of it!
Hahah sidenote: My buddy just blurted ; "To the 'We're Not Worthy' level, Rick! !" See you next time
Thank you Rick!
I have been studying music theory and scales off and on for over 20 years and this is the first time I have learned something useful other than the patterns.
12:10 That Lydian chord also sounds like the first chord in the "Pink Panther' theme!
Great video Rick! Thnx
very cool video Rick. I enjoyed this and hearing these melodies and chords really are inspiring!
As a drummer of 35 years, lately I've been getting into melodic theory just for kicks.
I had no idea Rush's Freewill was written in Lydian, but it makes sense.
just for kicks 😄
Kicks. Get it??
I warm up every time I pick up an instrument with modes. Essential
Wow, didn't realizes how extensive the modes are, thank you Rick, awesome!
Very helpful and informative Rick. And nice shirt dude!
Rick, Im the guy that got all 3 neighbors remember the Brian May video? Well let me give you a tip / new approach which I believe is the best in explaining this in less than 1minute and everyone will I guarantee understand it. And say ' I get it ". I've played guitar for over 30yrs, own my studio, write produce, mix, and teach guitar. From now on explain modes this way. " Think of walking into a dvd store where you can rent a movie. Over here is category called Drama. This section over here is scary movies. This section is old western movies. This here is the Sci-fi section. There ALL movies correct? [ student says yes " ] the only difference is the FEEL of each category. Modes are the EXACT same thing. 7 Different moods / feel. Just like the DVD rental store. Of course from here you can go deeper. And in time if he keeps taking lessons you can teach how these 7 modes are made. I came up with that analogy years ago and it has worked ever since. The student light bulb goes off and they get it. Of course you teach LATER how to apply them etc, but that alone will make them understand it in under 1m. Your the best Keep up the great work. I watch you daily. Hope this helps. If so mention it in another video. Cheers from Missouri !! P.S Lydian is my go to. Love the feel of it
im waiting for the next masterclass!!!
Great video, Great lesson and a great look. Nice shirt Rick and those bins. I am back in school...
I’m hyped for the modes of the Byzantine Scale!
Thank you!
He knows so much about music. It seems so natural to him
Thx u!!!
Great content!
Finally, a clear/fast explanation of modes that doesn't give me a headache.
all these are really great
Blessed love on your Earth Day
Very excited for harmonic major and double harm, I have your book but haven't touched on those yet.
great break down
I am going to send this to my music-theory teacher, this and the playlist with the modes in action.
Nice Shirt Rick and excellent Lesson!
As usual genius Mr Beato!!!! Thaks for your tutalge- no one is teaching this!!!!
All these modes are beautiful and useful and difficult. Attractive!
Hello from Montréal Rick! I'm a singer/songwriter with approx. Two hundred original songs both in French & English (Since I'm a French-Canadian). I started writing songs at 16 years old and started playing guitar at 14 & piano at 18. Thing is, I learned to play by ear since I had no friends or family members that played music. My main instrument has always been my voice and at that time ''karaoke'' didn't exist as well as the Internet (lol) so I started guitar so I could accompany myself and impress the ladies as well (lol). I wrote my first album some time ago (the songs are on my channel). I've had my YT channel for a long time now with lots of covers and originals. I've never had any singing lessons or any music lessons whatsoever and with time over the years, I've started to open my horizon and became curious about the craft of songwriting and music knowledge from other artists or musicians to enhance my own experience with my craft. I've discovered your channel a few years back and man, I really owe you so much Rick, your obvious passion and vision of the music universe is totally enlightening for me, you are one in a kind music teacher, music theory mentor for me. You're helping me so much and I wanted to thank you sincerely for everything Rick! Btw, we have the same musical mentor, Pat Metheny! While most people were into Michael Jackson and other pop icons, at 12 years old I was listening to Pat Metheny Group in my walkman each morning on my way to school! Your interview with Pat was so incredibly awesome and captivating! No wonder why I relate a lot to you and Pat when it comes to music! You're awesome Rick & keep doing what you do, you are helping a lot of people and future musicians more than you think! Cheers 🙏🏼✌🏼🖐🏼🎁
Mixo b6 is one of my favs too, especially in a chromatic mediant context for soundtrack-ish scoring
I've bought your book and it shows there's a lot to be learned. I hope I can understand the concepts well because I'm not a music theory expert but I hope to improve some things about my knowledge about that topic, so I can improve some things on my naive melodies. I've heard about chord progressions, for example. I don't know the definition of the concept. I think I know the concept of chord but, regarding chord progressions, I only know that the sequence of chords that might compose melodies get less linear and more colourful, but I hope I can get a grasp of It in your book bundle. I just need to carefully try to learn some concepts
Rick, I have been studying music since I was 5 years old in top of the line music conservatories (my parents insisted and $$$$ I attended). I can definitely say that none of my previous instructors EVER presented the material as simply and eloquently as you did. I am so freaking impressed by your style is not even funny.
-Your mode is the Best🙏
Man, I love how you mentioned the song by Keith Jarrett and I paused the video saying, "Keith Jarrett song? I'm sold, lets go!" to go listen to it. When I came back to the video, I hear you saying, "Pause the video, go and listen to this." Definitely going to inspire a lot of people who've never heard of him before. His version of "When You Wish Upon a Star" is what really opened my hears and imagination to how much is possible with music. It's like he takes you into the clouds with his playing.
A nice review!
I can’t believe people would do a thumbs down. Should even be thankful we’re learning for free.
a lot of bots and fake accounts automatically dislike vids.
Hey there! Music theory, my favorite 🔥
I would love to hear Rick expound upon The Lydian Chromatic Concept of Tonal Organization.
What he starts explaining at 13:50 is the key thing that is somehow so confusing to many people. I know someone whose music teacher just failed at explaining this to him which is why he never understood it until we talked about it. To learn the modes is actually pretty easy when you start your scale of choice just at a different position of the major scale. That one has a name then like Dorian if you start on the two. Why a piece of music is not in c major but in d Dorian is a completely different story that causes so much mystery about the modes. That's how I observe it. And Rick just explained it so well.
Some of these scales sound so dissonant on a instrument with tempered tuning. Beats galore!
1. Thank you for this 2. Do a video on Tedeschi Trucks Band!!!!!!
Yes!
@@michelleyb.9709 yay!! lol I’ve been trying to thank Rick & turn him on to TTB! ✌🏼
Hi Rick! Do us a favor and make a video for us musicians, who we are spiritual funkyfied, an and for a lot of the black community and the people who like the eternal dance between Latin Music and Funk and (for the Jazzers) a Music that transcends a few Rhythms and Harmonies of Jazz into the grooving discoesque and lovely Music of Earth Wind & Fire!
What makes this Song great: "In the Stone", you may get philosophical like Maurice White, but anyway it´s a killer tune!!
Thank You for your appearance, You are to me a Brother in Music!
Best always
Man, this is better than any of the classes I took in college. And I paid for that....lol!
Any time we talk modes I'm so excited
I know nothing about music, confirmed. Thank you Rick.
Bravo. You are the master. When I make it you'll be on stage with me.
You should thank UA-cam for allowing a man like this explain music
Good vibrations
Rick my man. The Grays Ro Sham Bo; These Are the Very Best Years.
What do you think brother?!
Great video Rick 👌 why not do a video on how to construct a tune 🎶🎸
I want to understand this so much
LOL I love how Rick puts on the glasses to instantly transform into..."Professor Rick."
jajajaja scale wars 😅 love this dude
Been watching this channel for quite a while now. Just bought the Beato book. So much is musical training my music teacher, Pete Cornell in Oakland, has been teaching me for years.
I worry that this country has become musically illiterate, and seems to get worse with each passing year.
Is there a way to display this on the actual keys. Visual learning makes it much easier. Same for guitar stuff. Show us ! Please and thank you. Love ya Rick
Music Rules!!!
Hey Rick would you please make a video about Brian Wilson and his theory tips!
You are still a great teacher!
Just a guy in front of a whiteboard with too much to say trying to fit in 30 minutes, captivating the whole time.
Hey! Have you considered going back in time a bit and doing some stuff on writers such as Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, Noel Cowerd, Duke Ellington, Lerner and Loewe, etc.
I was just watching the top 20 guitar solo video. When it got to #18, I really paid attention to what Rick was saying about Lifeson's chord voicings. I'd love to see Rick and Alex get together. He should contact Alex for an interview. Alex Lifeson is the kinda musician who is really warm and approachable. Also he's one of the funniest humans alive. It would be a great thing to get those two dudes hooked up.
I hope you will cover Neapolitan Major and minor as well. Idk if those modes are dark as well. And I feel that Neapolitan minor is very dark but not as dark as Double Harmonic.
hey Rick, have you ever done any vids on Erik Satie and how he writes? if not, would you plz consider it? he has some BEAUTIFULLY Haunting melodies in his music :)
yesss
Stone Cold beer is what you need!
Nahre Sol has a great video on Erik Satie.
@@KHANPIN had plenty already
No matter how many times I learn the modes I always want to learn it again, not because I don't remember but because it's just so cool
I really hope you'll do a collab with 12tone , i won't mind if my head explodes with the information overload.
Love this. Still can't wrap my head around modes.
You mean if I play a d dorian tonic chord it's not simply a d minor chord? Because it is the same notes, right?
All the chords and all the notes in D dorian are the same as in C ionian, right?
Is the only way to get them to sound different to add a D and a G to each one, so that it's playing over a D5 chord?
...just waiting for it to click for me.
Thank you; Dr Rock N Roll Md. I get so confused over music theory. But, once i grasp something, i think, “DUH. why the hell did that confuse me?” Thank you
When I took music theory in the triassic I just memorized the acronym IDPLMAL in my head. Its easy if you look at it from the standpoint of a harp turned on its side (piano).
Visualising scales works for me. This is a bit of a smorgasbord so seconds , thirds etc applies to the many easily digestible helpings served at once, here.
Will you do some video about Chopin especially we have now International Chopin Competition
C Alt Dom double flat 7 = B Mixolydian with a sharpened Root
