Rick has much respect for his audience…that’s just one reason he’s so respected. So many musicians-and aspiring ones-will benefit from this lesson.
Wish I was clever enough to benefit from it. 😢
@@mikeharrison72 What do you mean clever enough? If a kid can learn this, you can too.
@@mikeharrison72 You can learn it. Just got to go one step at a time. Rick is sprinting through a lot of ideas here. Focus on the major scale and the chords that are derived from it early in the video. That alone has huge value of itself once you become comfortable with it.
@@bobstanford3452 yeah I suppose I mean patient enough. I wrote that in frustration at my lack of patience to get past the level I’m at which is very low.
No. Only trained musicians could follow this. It’s all over the place. Don’t kid yourself.
My sympathy to you and everyone close to Jeff, sorry for the loss of such a genuine man and musician.
Been doing music for almost 2 decades. Still watching this with utmost interest. That’s the beauty of music and the learning aspect of it and also to have a teacher like Rick is just cherry on the top. *chef’s kiss*
Rick, this is SO helpful. As a drummer who is learning how to play guitar, this is incredibly enlightening!
Learn: tone tone, semi-tone tone tone tone semi-tone
C D E F G A B C
Basically, In every scale, E & F and B & C are ALWAYS a Semi-tone apart...which is why sharp's and flat's are used to keep the format of tone's and semi-tone's of the Major Scale. Minor scales use the same format of tone's and semi-tones, but from the starting point of the minor 6th. The 6th note of each major # and b scale is the minor 6th. So the relative minor scale of C Major, is Am, and the relative minor of F Major is D minor, etc.
I got myself the holiday bundle for Christmas. It's the same package as the new year's bundle. I have already learned so much. Thank you Rick, you are a great teacher.
Rick, love your vids. I learned more from this video than I’ve learned from any basic theory lesson in my 54 years of life. I never really understood until today. I got on the piano while watching and practice. It’s so pattern based. My brain gets patterns. Thank you so much.
Me too! And my brain is 62!!!
Thankyou Rick. This really helped to cement these basics a little firmer into my brittle brain. Bless you, your family and team, for all you do.
Just beginning on guitar, like this week. I was hoping I wouldn't be over my head with this video. I was completely lost within the first three seconds. Lol
This would be a lot for your first week introduction!
Thank you for your hard work and dedication to sharing research and learning music theory with us, amazing
Rick!, always appreciate your tutorials. It's comforting to know, when watching your videos, that your learning from someone as knowledgeable as you . Thank you for YOU Rick!
Rick, I admire you for knowing so much and having such a rich experience and you still feel the importance of teaching the basics. Salute.
I took basic music theory ages ago, back in jr. high school, but it wasn't incredibly detailed and was not oriented towards the guitar. Still, basic concepts stuck with me, and I recognized right away that you Circle of Fifths had the Eb and Ab swapped. The thing that really caused it to leap out at me is that one thing that helped me to remember the order of flats (and consequently, the order of sharps) is that the first four spelled out the word "bead." It breaks down beyond that, of course, but it can be a help for beginners to keep that in mind.
In listing the 7th chords at the half-way point, you omitted that the V chord gives a dominant 7th.
Thank you for your instructions, your interviews, and showing techniques of different songs. It has all helped me craft my own writing and style of playing.
These have always been great. I love the new digital board. Excellent stuff Rick
Ahh thank you, this is what I needed to spend my hour, learning! Love you Rick!
I have the Beato book and the ear training course and can recommend them highly. I'm very glad that I have them and am confident they will keep me informed and challenged for years to come.
Thank you so much Mr. Beato.
Appreciate you rick beato! Thank you for teaching and sharing your knowledge. You're amazing.
This was so awsesome, I was inspired to buy the NYB and I am so very glad I did. Home 1 day and recovering from my second heart surgery so I am willing and captive audience !!! Really great stuff systematically organized and now at my fingertips. Thank you, Rick
Rick need to take the time to explain the "why" we need to know what he is teaching - not just jump into the circle of 5ths and say "This is where I usually start"" I find a lot of his teaching very difficult to follow because he jumps around instead of going slower with simple explanations that explain context. I have two master's degrees (not music, obviously) and have taken many classes - so I know good, and poor, instruction. Love the channel, though.
Looks like the style here (and in the Beato book, apparently) works for learners who like rote memorization without thinking much about the "why"--this might work for some people but not others.
I purchased the ear training course and beato book. I appreciate all that you're doing for young musicians. My ear and my playing have improved dramatically. I no longer struggle to fluctuate between keys in the same song. I realized, the key is more like a tone. The intervals and ratios between them are what's important to pay attention to while playing.
There are 12 keys: A, A#, B, C, C#, D, D#, E, F, F#, G, G#. There are a lot more tones since we can play a key in many different octaves, going higher or lower. It is hard to explain how different feelings connect to the connecting tones. Part of music theory just has to be felt while practicing it. Just reading theory won't work.
Thank you so much Rick! I learn a lot from you
Really enjoy your expertise and love of music! We are from the same era and Witchita Lineman one of the greatest songs ever. Thank you very much for Jimmy Webb interview!
The Beato book is GOLD guys.. BUY IT. thank you Rick for sharing your wisdom xxx Love from Zimbabwe
Absolutely gold.
I play git + b for about 4 decades. At first I just play, I loved it and it sounds great. I haven't learned notes in the first years, now in the last years I dive deeper in music theory - and Rick's lession videos are a great help to understand the hole matrix. Thank you so much Rick, you are an exellent musician.
You're doing a great job. Keep on. You're also a fine guitarist.
Thank you Rick! I would have never learned this stuff without your help
Thank you so much Rick! You have helped make my music more interesting, could never afford school but this online deal is great for me.
Thank you for this. And Patagonia! Such a great company.
I appreciate all of your content but I really love when you put these together. It gets the light bulb turned on for me every time ✌️
Thank you Rick. I enjoy these kind of videos. From New Brunswick Canada.
Thank you for doing this 🙏
a great way to spend a Sunday morning. excellent video!
But, but, but... Rick! I play the trumpet. How is all of this music theory stuff gonna help ME??? After all, the horns section is much more important than some ol' guitar. 🤪
We need more of these rick hopefully every month 🙏
It’s sometimes difficult for those who know the theory or language to teach either. Rick does a great job of relaying why this is all important. He’s so right!
Great livestream, I definitely needed some piecie of knowlegle condensed into a short lecture, just so I know what I know and what I need to learn
Thank you Rick!!
Rick, just saw this video. I stopped playing guitar for 2 years. I'm back and been watching your videos again. You're an inspiration. If I may be so bold to ask two questions of someone of your caliber of knowledge and as someone who owns so much amazing gear: 1.) What is your desert island guitar? 2.) What's your favorite new piece of knowledge you've learned in the last year?
I appreciate you so much Rick
Amazing knowledge
you are my hero rick great content
I appreciate you. You are amazing.
Thank you Rick...
Very informative for a guy who just plays the guitar for fun. Thank you Rick ! :)
You are my music theory hero!
Thank you 💓
Thank you! I can finally try to learn to play the guitar that I bought ages ago. ~ Althea Hinds-Catlett ~ 14January2023
Woosh!!! right over my head. I need the kindergarten version for people who truly know nothing. But I'm glad this helps so many people!
Goodjob sir rick!👍
luv it
I love his master classes
Great Video Rick! Theory rules. Even a few concepts applied will give you an entire career of possibilities. 💯❤👌🎼🎵🎶
I love droning on D string and putting in them 9ths and 7ths. Instead doing it the boring bar chord way. Or open chord. Making posh chords is what it's all about.
I know nothing about music theory but this is the best thing I've heard for a looooong time.
I just bought the bundle! :)
Iv forgotten all my theory knowledge with all the performing but when I needed it I couldn't remember really need to refresh everything
Thank you for 99.00 offer for the theory and playing instruction courses!
I'm a guitar player and I have no idea what you are doing here, I've always played by hear with the hunt and search, Trial and error method. I taught my self mainly from major Chords then gradually worked up the neck. You totally impress me. I can pick some chords out by sound but nothing like you.
That's great!
@RickBeato - try using your select tool (dashed box) to window around what you want to delete, then just press your DELete button. This should save you a bunch of time scribbling around with the eraser tool. I think this will work on your whiteboard.
Or just use Ctrl+Z. Holding them down deletes the whole lot quickly. Unless of course the program user has set the delete settings to a certain number.
The Luk is monster .. yes losing Jeff was so rough . I had seen him a couple times and had a chance to see him again and meet him and was looking so forward to it !!!
As Rick says Music Theory will help you become a better musician and help you understand some of your favourite songs you want to play at any age. It is not easy and you have to put in the time. Thank you, Professor Rick.
Lovin the jacket!!
love you！a lot of respect！❤❤
Man you are awesome
Does anyone have good Mnemonics for memorising the order of circle of 5ths? I understand it but always struggle remembering the order of notes.
You don't have to memorize it if you know the layout of keys on the piano. You go up 7 keys on the piano or 7 frets on the guitar to get the next key as you go clockwise (as a perfect 5th is 7 half-steps or semitones). A fifth will be a change of 4 letter names but to get whether it is sharp or flat, you can use that technique of 7 half-steps. By 4 letter names, I mean counting through the alphabet and wrapping around from G to A (thinking of the alphabet as CDEFGABCDEFGABCDEFGABCDEFG....). For example, start at C, then the 4th letter after that is G, then the 4th letter after that (wrapping to A) is D, then the 4th letter after that is A, etc.
I f*cking love this chanel. Great video, Rick!
Hey Rick, great image of Jagger in the background!
I only understood the title…is this really the basics?
Sorry, I love you Rick, but you are losing a lot of us because you are talking way over our heads even on what you consider basic.
There are more basic concepts like what an octave is, how it is usually divided up in Western music, what whole steps and half steps are and how they are used to build a major scale, etc.
With the jacket inside. Next will be shades. You’re cool enough to pull it off. DO IT! 😆🤙🏻
let's get Beatified! Keep it up Rick.
I work SO hard to understand these Concepts but get overwhelmed at simply knowing it comes down to memorizing the Fretboard and have yet to find a "trick" to help Dyslexic Folks with ghastly Memory! (took me 4 EVER to finally grasp UP is DOWN on the Fretboard & DOWN is UP! grrr.)
Such good fun....learning guitar at 52 means I've gone straight into music theory and as a physicist I think it is so good as it's maths and emotion.
Same for me. Learning at 63; retired engineer getting right into the music theory. It just makes sense.
Nice! Old dude here myself at 54, music lover for life and science nerd - playing keyboard x 1 year now after getting psyched by Rick’s videos a year ago. Keep after it 👍
Even Einstein played 🎻 violin.
For egineers there is a much more technical and complete explanation of this. Wochia 's beats n Bobs explains it all from the physics of sound through the history of music. Love Rick, but he does only rote memorization.
Great to go through this again. Love your digital white board.
You aren't standing in front of it. I am not weaving to and fro to see details.
Whew...I thought I was losing my mind trying to figure out how A flat had THREE flats, and E flat had four. LOL! Glad I stuck with it to the 7:09 mark. Other than that, love all of the instruction and insight on this and EVERY video you put out....(though I'm still not convinced Xanadu is Rush's best piece). Thank you so much, Rick.
Hey Rick, I believe most guitarists from our era were taught basic theory. I remember seeing a photo of a page from a George Harrison composition where he had the lyrics written above Roman numerals (might have been for Something?) yet John Lennon said in a Playboy interview that none of them could read music. So my guess is that they talked in numbers and letters (chord names and numbers) interchangeably but didn't need to be able to read notes. I too learned the Circle of 5ths and the Roman numeral system when I was maybe 10? When I had my band and wrote songs for it in the 90's, I would basically tell my players the keys and then the chord intervals, unless I was using altered tunings. This is really important stuff for any young player to learn. As you said, it's the fundamentals of the language.
Love Mick in the background!
Good stuff. I learned this as a teen and has helped me a lot working with musicians above mlevel
I dream.of sitting with you....would be the coolest thing ever...you know I've followed you for years....I promise to by your book this year...your my favorite sir I've spread your word wide and far!!!
Me too, Rick!
Yes - this is exactly the material I've been looking at. Thank you, but please ensure the whiteboard is still visible as you're explaining these principles.
Added to favorites. NJ.
The Best!!!
I’m at as basic a level as you could ever be as a guitar player but I find your videos inspiring, just wish I was smart enough to meet the bar set from inspiration.
Really enjoyed your performance in The White Lotus season 2
Any plans of intermediate and advanced guitar courses coming out this year ? I would love a course in intermediate to advanced level improvisation techniques. I am already working with the Beato ear training and the interactie book.
a piano version of all of this would be amazing :)
It's the same. Actually much easier to see on piano. Sharps/flats are the black keys, and they're already in linear order.
Rick, is there a reason you didn't list the dominant chord with the seventh chords? Or did you just overlook mentioning it?
To this day, I don't know how I taught myself music theory, because I didn't even use the circle of 4ths/5ths. I literally just learned the musical alphabet (with sharps/flats included) and then what whole steps and half steps were, and then made scale diagrams where I'd write the circles and put the letter names, and it's like once I memorized a few keys, the rest sort of fell into place. Like if you know the notes in A major, then Ab major is easy because all of the natural notes of A major will become flat, and all of the sharps will become naturals. So by learning a few keys inside out, you can set yourself up so that learning every key is quite easy. Oh, and I guess it definitely helped that I'd practice 1, 6, 2, 5 progressions with just root position triads, and did them on each string set, and then did the key of F, then G, then Bb, then D, etc etc. Nowadays I'm starting to see the value of the circle, but too much reliance on it can lead to not actually memorizing the keys.
Great job, Rick. I wish I know how to split my video like you do with a board to write on. I assume you have a device !?
Rick, maybe try some silicone tips for your stylus. I find they help make it more comfortable to use. They’re cheap and available on amazon.
I took three years of Classical Guitar at the Canadian Conservatory of Music and never once did they teach theory, only how to read music and play the Vhords and Notes.
Unbelievable bout Jeff so shocking first I heard him in my teens and young guitar player heard goin down that was it. Hooked. Thanx Mr Beck. Won’t be another 😢❤
Talk about the bass part in the real me on Quadophenia.
Love Rick to death…. But “basic” music theory …. And I’m completely lost in first 4 minutes…. (First whiteboard)…. Oh well….
It could've started more basic, like what a half-step and whole-step are, and how you build a major scale out of those.
Regarding the "why do you have D# and Db" depends on the scale and which side of the circle of 5ths it falls on. If you only used #'s for F scale for example, instead of F - G - A - Bb - C - D - E - F. you would have F - G - A - A# - C - D - E - F. So no "B" at all.
Holly... finally get IT
