Super excited 🙂
Rick, your reactions alone prove these videos are not faked. Anyone who has a son whom they are proud of would see that you are reacting as any proud father would. Great job in being a great musician, teacher and father. I would be proud too.
Oh the irony of my UA-cam handle. Ha, Deaf Ears? This has been my name for some years now.
Yayyyyyy!!! Just in time for the semester break!!! =D
OH MAN! Cant wait to get my kids into this program!
Underneath this incredible demonstration there was even a more important message: the father-son relationship, memories, the good stuff in life
My memories of my father are full of fear and being beaten. He passed 2 yrs ago from Cancer and I still grieved. Life is so strange. He was an alcoholic all his life. The best time was when he left me and my mum because this was the first time I ever experienced actual peace in the household. Before he left he made me answer to him who I was to live with he or my mother. Because I couldn't answer this question he beat me. If you want kids then only have them if you are capable of loving them. Otherwise do not have them. My dad was sorry before he died and so I forgave him. I had to do this for myself because you can carry that sort of pain for your whole life and it only hurts you in the end. Now I have some peace at last.
Mickeyislowd Thanks for sharing. That takes courage. Sharing that, as well as what you endured.
@@MICKEYISLOWD I use to say that as well as a driving license there should be a parental license to allow people to have children.
Family is really all that matters. This is what makes me frustrated with the world today, demonizing family structure and demonizing father's in general. Societal collapse is due to lack of strong father's.
@@juanluguitar yeah because that isnt authoritarian at all. The vast majority of father's I know are.loving good people.
Not just perfect pitch, but incredible theory knowledge.
this is what gets me!!! xoxo
@@VegaChastain Off topic: love your username 😄 👍
And, dare I say, a strikingly handsome young man. I envy that kid a great deal.
Yeah, that's what blows my mind! Rick should do a video detailing Dylan's study in music theory and how he applies his knowledge. That would be interesting.
Theory knowledge probably comes a lot easier when you can hear everything (literally) and you start to want to explain what you hear. But for sure having Rick as a father helps as well.
Just watching it again, I noticed that when you said, "I'm running out of things that are difficult to do, so I got an idea - check this out" - and Dylan smiled in anticipation. That is no tortured child slave as some have bizarrely suggested, that is a child that is challenged in a way that he enjoys the challenge. It's lovely to see, and it means you're doing a good job as a dad. I do my best to do the same thing.
Every child likes being able to do something with relative ease that others cannot - and then get praise for it, don't they? I sure know I did.
In fact, every human being likes that.
And that's the difference between perfect pitch and a well-developed relative pitch - the ease with which the answer comes to you.
Those, as you called it, 'tortured child slaves', still do exist, do not forget that. But for people with perfect pitch, as far as I know, the most difficult aspect is to learn the actual name of the notes, not the crystal-clear perception they have of them. They might not know it's called an E flat, but every E flat sounds the same to them, it may sound like a color, it may sound like a feeling, but it's always the same and it's 'just there' for them like if we saw the letter 'a' and would say 'hey, that's an 'a''.
And that's where people go wrong, they think that if they cannot do it, no one has the capabilities to function that way. So, breaking an amazing ability like perfect pitch down to 'drill' and 'thousands of hours of practice' or even 'staging things' is the only way they can fit an ability like perfect pitch into their world view when it's in fact just what it is: A wonderful ability some folks possess, and most folks do not. Like charisma or the ability to talk in front of large crowds. Sure, you could learn it, but it will never come as easy to you as it does to those born with 'the gift'.
My 2 cents, amazing video, amazing dad, amazing kid. Wish you guys nothing but the best of luck!
One question I have, and I know it won't get answered because the video is a year old and so on, but what really interests me: Do people with perfect pitch have a problem with or do not like notes that aren't perfectly tuned? Like, if I take Californication with the detuned b string, would their ability permit them to like it or would it sound 'just wrong' to them?
@@TheGrandmaMoses Interesting question about being able to enjoy songs not in perfect pitch. I agree, child slavery is still a problem, I was mainly just responding to people suggesting Rick Beato was stressing his child.
These days people think good parenting is giving a child everything they want. Crazy world.
@@TheGrandmaMoses As somebody with perfect pitch, I can bend, as I also have a sense of relative pitch. That said, it took me roughly 1-1/2 years to be able to read transposed music! I started out on violin, got bored so switched to cello, and taught myself string bass throughout middle- and high school. But one month into my senior year, our family moved across the state, to where they used to have an orchestra, but still had a (very good) band. They managed to keep an old aluminum string bass on-hand, so I once again took up the bass. While there, I told the band instructor, "Pick an instrument, and I will learn it." He said, "OK, how about (French) horn?" "That's cool." So he gave me a couple of lessons, and I started learning. Just one problem: Horn parts are "transposed" -- where a written Middle C in treble clef "sounds" as an F below Middle C, and so forth. I never really got to settle into the horn section, as he went crazy for my bass playing, so I stayed right there! And I even made Honors Band, while I was at it! :-)
But then I got to university. I decided to keep playing both string bass, electric bass, and horn. Now I was playing every day on the horn. Alas, where my perfect pitch got in the way was trying to read Horn in F parts in "concert pitch" -- where "concert pitch" is "C = C," not "C = F" (written/sounding pitch). I would battle with him: "Play a G." I would play a concert G. He would say, "That's not a G," and I would say, "Yes, it is," and he would say, "No, it's not," and I would say, "Yes, it is"... what we had was an argument. :-/ Finally, I had to have somebody in the section play a horn G, and I would respond, "Oh, that's a [concert] D!" And I would then play the note correctly. ARGH. It took me close to 1-1/2 years to finally get my head around the concept of transposing notes, thanks to my perfect pitch. So it can be a disadvantage at times.
But back to your original question: There are two things at work here: 1) Perfect pitch; and 2) Relative pitch. I can hear when an ensemble goes sharp or flat, and it bothers the heck out of me! I sang in a world-renowned a cappella concert choir in university, and the ensemble constantly drifted off pitch. VERY frustrating to me! But since I have a very loud voice, I would seemingly sing sharp or flat, compared to the rest of the group, and I would get stares. But they also came to realize that I was right, and they were wrong, so they would kind of listen to me, and would eventually get back on pitch! This practice was somewhat frowned on by our director, so I mostly stopped doing it. But let's say the sopranos missed a pitch by 6 cents -- it would affect the whole group, as they thought *they* were off-pitch! And it could happen in any section at any time, so it wasn't just the sopranos who were guilty -- it's just that they usually had the melody, and they were the highest voices in the ensemble, of course. That's where having a sense of "relative pitch" could have saved many a song, and not perfect pitch.
I am approaching 60 as I write this in 2020. Sadly, a couple of things have fallen off for me: 1) My ability to sightread -- it is said that instrumental people tend to be fantastic sightreaders, or at least better than vocalists. This frustrates me to no end!; 2) My perfect pitch and relative pitch have both suffered in the last decade or so. I have had some health problems, and I think a bit of hearing loss. I know for a fact that my high range of hearing has gone down a little bit over the years; 3) I am jumping lines with more frequency than at any other point in my life -- both in choral singing (where one reads 2, 3, and more lines, plus piano part, all in one stave (group of lines). I have also grown less attentive to the conductor, as I can't focus my eyes on both the conductor and the music (I'm also diabetic, so "diabetic neuropathy" is a part of my life now, where my eyes don't see as well as they used to). I am also getting more easily distracted, as my ADHD is wreaking havoc on me -- I am trying to address this problem, as well. (I thought getting older would be a whole lot more fun that this, I'll tell you!) So all of those things are starting to work against me, which is extremely frustrating. I'm starting to understand why Beethoven could be such a grouch! Haha!
One other observation: I have also learned to bend on other things related to pitch. I do not expect a group of preschoolers to be in tune with either accompaniment, let alone each other. Obviously, there will be one or two who already have a terrific sense of pitch, but they are the exceptions at that age. I will then expect maybe a little more with an elementary choir (or other ensemble), but again, expectations are not usually very high; I came to enjoy the music, and see people I may or may not know. But as we get closer to the more-professional, then I start expecting more. Of course, I can go full-on NO EXCUSES! And maybe if I have a recording, I will just listen to it the first time, just to enjoy the sound -- unless there is something glaringly out-of-tune. But I do have some go-to recordings where I will pick it apart for things both good and bad.
I never expected to write a whole speech on this, but once I get typing, sometimes I simply cannot stop! Haha! I hope that all of this writing does give you some insight into my world, though. Peace. Out! :-) And keep on singing, playing, and enjoying the wonderful world that is music!
snickpickle thank you for that "speech", it was fascinating to read. I'll reply in more detail once I'm off the iPad and on the PC :)
So I’m going to respond like a dad. I love this video because of Rick’s laughter. You can hear just how proud, amazed, and joyful he gets when he hears his boy perform such an awesome feat. Rick so obviously loves his son and I’m sure these videos are going to be cherished by Dylan when he grows up.
Archive these videos and put back them up on tape. Store them away, because one day he’ll be looking for them, to show his family, to show your grandkids. You’ll never regret doing that
Bingo! 👍
Rick: “Ok Dylan, what’s this cluster?”
Dylan: “A sharp B flat seven over nine minor F twenty eight alpha squared over hydrogen M cubed 74 degrees”
Everyone else: ....☠️
Te Kawa Robb That’s correct.
you forgot to put this into the blender.. what a rookie mistake smh... ;)
A sharp and B flat are enharmonic, my guy.
HAHAHAH
@@Invert_Scrub Ya had to go there
More than perfect pitch , perfect dad dedication ...
"How much of my forearm are mashing keys?"
"4.59 inches"
"Metric?"
"116.6mm"
"And as I lay my face on the keyboard, which keys are my ear pressing?
"C# and D#"
- Peace, Love, and Zweigles from another ROC=>ATL
I almost pissed myself laughing at this... classic
"And which extra part of my body am I using to hit this high F#?"
"The upper 3/4" of your right elbow"
That was great!
😂😂😂😂😂
A year later and I had to comment that...I just had Zweigle’s last night. 😎🎸
Jesus, this kid already knows more than 99% of musicians 🤯
Probably 99.99%
Having perfect pitch is a great useful skill but it doesn’t automatically make you a great musician. Many famous artists do not have (or need having) perfect pitch.
@@carl_anderson9315 I never implied that he was a great, or famous musician.
More than 99% of pop/rock/metal/punk/techno musicians. Classical and Jazz musicians know music intimately.
He can process a lot of information. That has nothing to do with the ability to create.
Rick, I love your simultaneous laughter and pride in reacting to Dylan’s answers! I totally understand why you just have to laugh at his amazing gifted ability.
I love the interaction between father and son. Yes, he is a well trained and prodigious talent, however it is the joy these 2 share that is truly beautiful. Thank you Rick for sharing this
Frank Szmalc I hope Dylan puts his musical talent to use. I imagine he could construct some seriously interesting music with that ear.
That was insane. I studied at a conservatory and I took ear training and I’ve never seen anyone, never mind a very young kid, name notes of chords and chord names by ear so fast. That truly was impressive. Dylan you are the man and your father has taught you well. You’re a lucky kid.
Oh my gosh, yes. The kid is amazing. I don't feel so bad for not taking my mediocre talent to the next level when I see someone of this caliber that reminds me of what I do not possess. That kind of ear!
Dylan is unbelievable, period.
I can’t imagine anyone being able to do what he’s learned, even after a full adult lifetime.
This must be on a par with the ability of some of the most respected composers of all time.
Hats off to you Rick and the enthusiasm and ability of young Dylan, it’s wonderful and immensely impressive.
Not only does he recognize the notes, he is able to remember all the notes he hears. Incredible!
I've personally known two musicians with perfect pitch and was in a band with them. But I never saw either one do it this fast with so complex clusters.
Same here. I know one guy with perfect pitch and thought that was impressive, but this is just insane.
I have perfect pitch and I can confirm, I can't name chords that complex in a very short time
Great video, as usual, but also very touching--my own dad died in 1965, when I was just 7 years old, and like you I would love to have something like this to remember our short time together. 54 years ago a week from today. Thank you for sharing not only your musical talents with us, but also your obvious love of family, friends, and General Goodness.
You’ve created a genius. The force is strong in this one.
@@julianleil7847 Who says that someone is only a "real" genius if they're creative?
@@julianleil7847 I don't know, but the dictionary describes it several ways. One of the definitions is "A person who is exceptionally intelligent OR creative, either generally or in some particular respect." (Caps added for emphasis.)
This is amazing on all levels, Rick. Your pride, Dylan’s UNBELIEVABLE talent, the father/son relationship. I honestly got chills.
This blows my mind. Had he been born to other parents, this potential could have been totally ignored/never developed.
Glad that he got lucky. :)
sad that it happens to other kids.
And that would have been okay if he was happy. Maybe Dylan is also a surgeon. Or an astronaut. Seems to me he could be anything he turns his mind to.
Had he been born to other parents...he wouldn’t have existed at all lol
Talent is part genetic heritage but most part is early stimulus, so we are what we are exclusively because of our parents.
And then Dylan went off to become an investment banker.
And he would have the perfect pitch! Get it? Ok, I'll see myself out.
@@Kolya_Smirnov Haha, good one!😁
Investment banker for the mofia. He was forced to live in some undisclosed luxurIous location in the tropics (last heard) and lived to the ripe age of 90.
NOOOOO!
What of it? I'm sure he'll create tremendous harmonies wherever he'll go, making even the dissonant ones fit in.
Ive watched many of your videos, the ones that really get me are when you talk about your family. You are a very good parent and you had very good parents. I appreciate what you bring to UA-cam with so much crap out there.
If he can listen that well, he's going to have the happiest wife to ever exist.
"Honey, I realize you are speaking to me in Lydian Augmented again. Let's try to get that to Major Pentatonic."
Because wife = bad and wife angry = wife crazy amirite?
@@narutodarker funny boomer jokes haha it's ok
Lydian Demented.
I would give anything to be able to do that. I'm a professional/amateur, tab reading guitarist. His ability is absolutely jaw dropping.
Rick I am roughly your age (51) and the father of 4 grown children. You deserve a parenting Grammy. I am envious of Dylan’s ear and his dad. This is a truly awesome thing to behold and if Dylan chooses a career in music I have no doubt he will succeed. Even after a lifetime of playing guitar and learning to play songs the old fashioned way ( with trial and error and a record player by tuning to the recording ) I am still in awe of those with perfect pitch. Take care man great content
thx
Dylan is a musical savant. That's not an over-exaggerated compliment, that's a fact.
He is lucky to have Rick as a father - because Rick can push him to his full potential, and Rick is lucky to have him as a son, because I can't think of anything that would bring a musical father, like Rick, more joy and more pride than to have a son who you can share your passion with to its deepest levels.
Hopefully they will share their musical experiences with us in the years to come.
100% true
How does he know what those notes are called? I mean at some point Rick would of had to play a note and then tell Dylan what note that was I guess. Wonder if he has a photographic memory also? Amazing.
Amen. My thoughts 100%.
@@billhill839 I've listened to other people with this gift talk about their experience. And I remember one of them saying they "see" the music as colors ( which actually makes sense, as there are 7 primary notes - ABCDEFG - and there are 7 primary colors - ROYGBIV), so songs actually create a type of painting in their mind. Yes, Rick would've had to have tought him the note names, but once he learned to associate a particular sound with a letter... It would be very easy. Remember, the name we give a sound is simply there so we can communicate our understanding of what we are hearing to others. Really, no different than our ability to learn words.
I've been playing guitar for 25 years and have never seen anything like this. Please use your son's knowledge and power for good and not world domination. Two amazing people. Very moving.
That photo of you and your dad had me welling up - lost my father a year ago to Alzheimers and I'd give anything to spend a day with him like we did when we were younger. 🙏
Q: Now, what is this?
A: A piano?
Oh, that's my game.
best comment lol :DD
It’s incredible what the human mind is capable of . Especially the younger mind that is uncluttered with adulthood .
I love the relationship you have with your son. That's the most important. Much love and success to you both.
Let's ask Dylan what the opening chord is on A hard day's night 😊
Sudip Bhandari yes please!!
YES
...it. Google
second this
Underrated comment!!!
Rick, your boy Dylan is a prodigy. So impressive. Extraordinary.
I think that a prodigy is someone who grew up in a family that cant provide much for a especific talent, Dylan was trained by an excellent musician (his father by the way, like most Kids in UA-cam) since day zero, defore his birth. His hability is legit, but not something incredible.
@FT. No, you’re wrong, you don’t understand the meaning of the word prodigy. From what I can see in the video, Dylan’s musical abilities regarding identifying pitch, intervals and chords are exceptional by any standard, irrespective of his background.
@@johnn7776 the background and training do most definitely hold importance. i'm 20 and have played music since the age of 6 but only a few years ago did i start to develop the ability to identify notes by ear, memorizing the distinct sensations each note triggers in me. now i can do complex chords with a fairly decent precision (although not even close to the extent of this kid, i don't have actual perfect pitch), but i know i'm not the only person with this experience so i think it proves that ear, no matter the talent you have, has to be trained in some way.
@Raul Perez. Maybe, but that’s not what I said. I said he was exceptional, a prodigy. He is fortunate to have had extensive well crafted training, but it appears that he has an innate gift. He is, quite simply, in my opinion, a prodigy.
@Coni Glione I saw the videos when they were uploaded thanks. As for the rest, you said it yourself, he was predisposed for many reasons and he had the (excellent) training. And now he is a prodigy. We even have a word for it in our language. Thanks.
"You know what a cluster is?"
I am reminded every time I pick up my guitar.
Cluster describes half of what I do with a guitar.
@@BillPeschel And the other half? That sound hole is awfully big lol
The one I run into a lot is the Cluster F.
Lmao....
Too dang funny.
Looking forward to future videos of Dylan killing it with his own compositions and playing. What great memories you two have Rick! He is an amazing kid!
I never questioned it. Your son has remarkable talent.
Also a lot training and work. Don't forget that. Geniuses are not just born.
These father & son vids are so heartwarming - you are one proud dad!
The father must be so SUPER proud, you can see it on his face and his smile
Rick, great stuff with your wonderful son, but PLEASE remember to give your kids lots of HUGS.....they NEED IT🤗
Great video brother!
This is great Rick-adding the knowledge of theory and the gift of perfect pitch is just an unbeatable combination.
Dylan is amazing!! I'm looking forward to working on the new ear training course.
This NEVER gets old.
This is absolutely incredible! The amount of work you have done with your son, Rick, is phenomenal!
I never doubted your honesty. And you are a beautiful father and son. I'm positive you'll keep up the great work
Good God rick! I'm still in total awe everytime I watch this video! Dylan is like a modern day beethoven! I didn't think it was possible for a human being to have an ear that attuned to every single note played in a cluster of manic chords! I only hope he continues to develop his own interests in music as he gets older. Cheers 🤘
A gift like Dylan's seems a promise of everlasting hope...human potential is limitless...it makes my heart sing to see a talent so vast...thankfully I am old enough now to feel joy rather than sadness or bitterness at my own limitations in comparison...blessings to all and may all your children grow beyond our dreams.
You and Dylan are a treat to watch.. What an amazing kid you have!
I just can’t get enough of this! It’s so astonishing!!! It’s almost super human what Dylan does.
Rick: "Which notes did I just play, Dylan?" Dylan: "All of them."
No, that's just your answer.
Andy Jacobs ok boomer
Whichever ones
the cat stepped on.
I'm 51, so I can relate to wishing I had video of myself as a child with my parents. It's beautiful that you've preserved these memories for him. He won't be able to fully appreciate it until he's much older, and especially after you are gone.
Aawww Rick, you hit my gut with the wish of more recorded memories with your Dad. Same here. I love seeing all your videos but the ones with your kids are special on a whole 'nother level. Best wishes that you continue to have a lovely happy future with your family.
It is really cool to see you working together and you being proud of him... it is really beautiful
aaaaaaaaaaaaand I'm just going to become a fisherman now.
But there might be also quite a lot of fishermen sons very talented at fishing out there
someones son is probably a fish prodigy
You could be "John the Fisherman", I could be the one that maintains your boat who "listens" to cool music, who threw his guitar into the sea :p.

Of course, each time Rick says "that's correct", I have no idea whether or not he's telling the truth. :)
Lol
but its adorable
Rick always smiles in amazement too as if he hardly believes it himself.
@@mikekopf1173 No kidding, so funny! Man that's amazing!
You just need to trust Rick's integrity and that of his son Dylan too. How could you not?
Your knowledge and teaching skills are truly remarkable and your son is definitely proof of it. Thanks for the videos Rick
Finally!! Yes!! I’ve been doing everything I can to improve my ears and your answer and videos always help.
Dang, this actually makes me feel so nostalgic, yet I have only been a follower of your content since 2018. Weird how videos can do that ye Haha. Amazing!
Gotta love the chuckle every time Rick says “That’s correct.”
Incredible! I love the work you two have done! Raised my sons with the Suzuki Violin program! The keys are EARLY consistent exposure to sounds and then the focus on learning. Takes a MOST PATIENT parent! And child....
...precocious thing he is. He’ll forever have these memories and be more grateful for them as time rolls on. Keep up the good work young man...!
Imagine being a youngster growing up in such a musical household...
Magical!
I feel like I'm watching a superheroes origin story when ever this kid shows up. What's he gonna do when he grows up and has these powers? The world is waiting to find out.
This is where you had my Subscription I knew this was possible and well this is the BEST way to show everyone who's boss.
I enjoyed seeing you with your son. You should both be proud of what you accomplished together. That’s how it should be. I applaud you both!
Great t-shirt Dylan!
Your lad is a good sport. Blessings upon you both.
Simply wonderful. Incredible talent and inspiring parenting. This is such a good channel!
Simply amazing, excited for the ear training!
Back in my younger days when I was taking piano lessons, quite a few folks were impressed with my pitch (and a few still are). But Dylan is a few levels above me on that! Even today I have a hard time picking out all the individual notes on some chords.
My gawd, you must be so proud, Rick. Dylan is profoundly gifted, just like Dad.
Man, Dylan is getting so big! So fast! And so handsome! Amazing father-son relationship. I'll just grab my phone and talk to my dad a little right now. Thank you, Rick! And congratulations for being this amazing musician and educator.
That boy really does have exceptional talent, and it was just great watching you two doing that stuff together, and I totally understood your laughter with amazement and pride at what he was able to do - Jeez, those were some really difficult combinations you were throwing at him.
This is not normal, Rick
And I *love* it! 👌😍🤙
Yes. It's about 1 in 10,000 who have this ability.
@@classicalhero7 That's a rumor but not truth. If this was a common ability there would be dozens of video's on youtube of it in existance. Dylan is a prodigy level when it comes to theory and his ability to name and express the sounds he hears.
@@crazedzealots Few get trained to the level that Dylan does. Also his level of perfect pitch is at the higher end. Most probably don't know they have perfect pitch.
@elissa f
Very interesting and alarming.
Ambient noises ie vibrations, resonances from sounds encountered daily could also cause averse effects of ones health.
My vocalist and I both have perfect pitch. We both find Dylan to have GOD TIER perfect pitch. Rick, please find a way to construct a course to sharpen perfect pitch to be at Dylan’s level.
Bass Stuff I think it probably has a lot to do with knowing theory and memorization to put intervals in the proper context. Otherwise, a better demonstration would be him identifying how far out of tune a note would be
Hall of Canons I guess, I’m good with anything up to 9-11 chords with altered pitches. The instant Rick starts to play chords over chords is where I get lost. I guess theory could be part of it. However, as somebody who has completed four years of university level music theory I’d say that theory is likely not to do with it.
He’s so grown up! Looking sharp.
The things he does are uncanny, floors me everytime. Cool that you get to do it together.
Dylan is the man!!! Great work gentlemen. I love this.
"The things that Dylan is doing in this video can be done with relative pitch and a lot of practice."
Color this relative pitch guy skeptical. What Dylan is doing is insane. I think we need to see a vid of Dylan mashing random dissonance into a piano and you naming the notes ;)
When I heard some of these chords, it seems that a "bread dough" comes into my ears...there's simply no distinguish of differents sounds. I just can´t imagine how he can hear these sounds... Amazing!!
What a great documentation, and a testament of abilities for both of you to work together.
Just saw this. Having just gone through my fathers passing it is great to see the interaction with your son!
My jaw is still on the floor all these years later!
Ironically Rick, although his ear is impressive, it’s ALWAYS been you two bonding that’s moved me. I wish I had a younger me to pour into like you do. Great stuff! I agree with this video 1000%
Totally awesome guys.
Remember there's only three constituent parts to the learning process, but number one is the best man... Rock on guys..
Rick ~
I couldn’t even imagine having a dad like you in my life and teaching me about music. Your deep knowledge & application in theory fascinates me to no end. Your son is a very blessed young man. Keep it up dude!! your channel is awesome. Dylan is top notch.
I’ve never been more jealous of anything in my life. Amazing.
Perfect pitch is amazing but to be able to dissect and identify those chords instantly? Insane. I think the most interesting question though is about epigenetics. In other words, the lifetime of music learning Rick has done, according to epigenetics, affects the expression of genes that relate to music. The question is the degree that some of this skill has been passed on to Dylan genetically, giving him a running start to the theory and ear training Rick has provided? There's some interesting scientific study potential here. Dylan and Rick--you're both amazing.
would love to see them research something liek that
That's very interesting, I would have thought that most of Dylan's knowledge is early and constant stimulus
Yeah gonna need a citation for that claim that epigenetics have anything to do with musical talent/ability
I didn’t make a claim. I said it’s worthy of study
@@davepatchen But you did make a claim... : " according to epigenetics, affects the expression of genes that relate to music."
Which is vague enough to be deemed wrong on quite some levels. Epigenetics describe how non-DNA inherited material can change the expression of DNA sequences. The only cognitive functions epigenetics have been directly related to have been malfunctions like depression or other stress related effects. In other words, the confirmed effects of epigenetics have more to do with "damage" to the whole cell regulation system instead of "inheriting traits". Think of stuff like opiates "damaging" regulatory systems making you more prone to addiction. The idea of "the father is good at X so epigenetics makes the son good at X" is NOT supported by science.
What you see here is already well explained by nurturing, environmental effects and of course some DNA. A kid growing up with a professional musician as a father with a recording studio will be exposed way more to music than any other regular kid will, that + the musical education he is getting are way more interesting and useful subjects of study.
That's so great! You and your son. Wonderful!
I am excited to see what the future holds for your son. Most musicians can't name the chord shapes much less call out the exact notes. This is genius level.
Thats a proud dad there!
Wow that is just mind blowing!!!
How the hell could anybody give a thumbs down to this video? You guys are truly gifted. I hope you realize and are thankful for what you've been given.
I love it that Dylan is so great at this. Well done Rick! He’s going to be an amazing musician!
Your kid and Jacob Collier should get together and talk. That would make a cool video.
randomjasmic oooh yes
@@AirGuitar ... and probably be all Greek for most of us.
That was seriously impressive!
Had to show this to my wife. Your son’s ability is nothing short of amazing!
Oh Rick, watching this makes my cheeks cramp from smiling. Truly wonderful. My mother is pitch perfect and growing up she also told us the notes or sang arpeggios to just about anything that resonated. Equally she would look like she's peeling onions when things were out of tune. The few times she saw me performing live, she would stand in the crowd crying her eyes out and my band mates always jokingly asked if she is crying out of pride or if she was in pain because we are so out of tune 😂
gifted beyond my comprehension
Does this mean we can obtain his superpowers now?
@Keith Sizemore yeah, she's everywhere.
😁
Yes right Now!!!!
I think you'd need to be Rogue from X-Men to do that right now ;)
𝕍𝕆𝕃𝔸𝕀ℝ𝔼 🤣🤣🤣
The talent + practice that Dylan went through make one awesome 'magic'. It's just awesome.
It makes me smile when I see video of "getting perfect pitch" here on YT and then I see Dylan.
My son was born in 2018 and I did see your video from 2017. As I'm not musician (having guitar and piano home doesn't make me one for sure :) ) I took something from your videos and I'm applying it, as an experiment, to my son. All in good fun and bonding time ..
Amazing! I'm sure you're as proud of Dylan as your father was of you. So great to see!
When genetics and environment converge, amazing things happen. A pleasure to see your son at work, Rick!
I have a question (if you ever read comments I'm not sure). . . what happens when he's working on de-tuned stuff (say a guitar not tuned to concert pitch)? Does he just pick the nearest note, or does it give him a headache, or what? Super curious!
God damn this kid is a national treasure
you must be so proud of your son. Absolutely so talented at such a young age.
