"It's not the stuff, it's the thing."
Pat Metheny.
I just watched it yesterday. That's the line that stuck with me. He's such a hip cat!
Oh good - so I wasn't the only one who heard him say that... I was wondering if I had imagined hearing that...
Rick -- do not forget what Pat said (I think he let it go the first time or two you said it) -- it is NOT effortless. The culmination of hard work and commitment is the APPEARANCE that something is effortless. Pat's articulation of that aspect of his musical life cuts across any avocation or profession. Truth is universal. In your world, you make hearing, really hearing, look effortless.
👍 Agreed
Nice stuff Rick. I taught at Berklee at same time as Pat in adjacent office. That was such a rich music scene in the early 70's Great job sir
Cool!!
Omg Rick, Pat Metheny hits me in the feels. Last train home was my mother's favorite Metheny song and she used to put it every time we travelled to the beach. She passed away almost 5 months ago and that memory hits me everyday.
Is that a Jojo reference?
Music, as I explain to so many, at one root is memories.....as we age; it becomes a way to time travel back to the impactful moments and people of our lives.
For example, I love Orchestion.....I went to see that concert with my Father -- who transitioned around 5 years ago. Playing that album brings back memories, for example.
I put that song on when on road trips. Particularly in places with big vista's and those long trains in the west
Oh yeah. For me it had been "Lonely Woman" around 1982 I guess... take care!
Pat interview was incredible! It was sad how he said there were 2 Jaco Pastorius's. I read that at Jaco's funeral Pat was at the grave for hours afterwards just so so sad. He really thought the world of Jaco and tried to help him so much, but Jaco didn't take his advice to stop the drugs/drinking to excess. The interview was so good to hear how incredible a musician Jaco was and Haden and Jarrett.
Jaco was the Golden Child in the late 1970s. Weather Report's "Heavy Weather" album opens with Jaco's harmonics(on a FRETLESS Fender bass!) on "Birdland." For music fans, this was like when the Beatles appeared on Ed Sullivan's Sunday evening show - it hit like an atomic bomb. And Jaco was as sweet and nice a man as he was talented as a musician. But he had a dark side...
untreated bipolar disorder (episodic manic depressive ) can be a fucking nightmare -chemical imbalances of the brain can be treated but not cured,sadly.
@@FMCTJR56 That's evolution; without the "disorder" or "imbalance", he probably hadn't been as determined as young, and therefore not as good or creative as he was.
Lol, Rick, you are still glowing from your time with Pat
Found vids of Pat Metheny and Jaco playing Metheny's Bright Size Life pieces live after watching your interview with Pat. Pat was 20 years old at the time lol.
Wow. Can you supply a link?
@@drenngur 👉... 🔗
I love that record. A little sad that Metheny does not though :)
Pat is in my top 5. Been a fan since the 70’s. Congratulations and thank you for the Pat interview. The best Pat interview I’ve seen!
You have no idea how inspiring and fascinating it is to watch a Master at work. Just wow.
OMG loved the interview! Pat teased the Song X Session in that studio, but it was never discussed! Love that album.
A question about Song X and the implications of Ornette's harmony in Pat's music throughout his career would have been in my book for sure. Song X is a milestone
My favorite Metheny years were the Pedro Aznar years. I feel his influence helped shape the later years...
Grande Pedro...
Indeed! Pedro's Voice was an intrigue Instrument for the Band! So multi Talented! RIP Lyle Mays
What's wrong with the singers (multi-instrumentalists) on the LP before Pedro? I mean that lovely record that came out in 1987 (starting Pat's and Lyle's brazil/latin jazz period). Their singers in the 1990s were great too, one of them being the same cornetist that sang on the LP i mentioned (forgot his name).
@@herrbonk3635 Good point. Nothing wrong. I think that every member brought something of their own, that gave character and something special to it. I meant to say Aznar is a favorite of mine, without discounting or excluding anyone else's contributions. :)
This song was my first favorite PM tune, the guitar is amazing on it, but what hooked me was Lyle's piano solo. It is simply perfect.
Congratulations on the Metheny interview, Rick! It was amazing. Well done! Loving the jazz box in this video.
I was a huge Pat nerds back when I was growing up and kinda surprised later finding out that many jazz traditionalist hate his music. His music is not strictly jazz traditionals but who cares. For me he is the greatest jazz guitarists with Wes and Joe Pass because he has unique style and approach that very different to others at his time, similar to Wes and Joe.
Well said!! A huge fan of Pat here..
only in the first beginning, later he got and earned the respect of all jazz fans in the world. Greetings from Vienna, Austria (Mehteny mentioned Joe Zawinul in his Interview - Zawinul was also from Vienna)
"Jazz Traditionalists" are the worst kind of people. Jazz has no set 'tradition', it's always been about change and exploration. Traditionalists typically view anything outside of Great American Songbook/Standards playing as being experimental or cross-genre music.
Case and point: Coltrane REALLY stretched out in his later years and used lots of highly complex song forms, extended techniques and completely changed his improv language towards the end of the '60s. No one complained about what Trane was doing though.
Arguably, Pat's music is far more similar to 'traditional' jazz compositions/improv concepts that it's laughable that people even have that criticism of him.
I like what you said about digging Pat for his unique sound. At the end of the day, I think the giants of this great music would want people to take it forward and craft their own identities instead of staying within the lines.
His trio albums are pretty much traditional jazz - Question and Answer with Roy Haynes and Dave Holland is one of the greatest straight ahead jazz guitar albums ever recorded Pat’s effortless ideas just floating all over the neck is astounding.
@@JackHandysideMusicUK ...I just reported you about the Jazzfans - including myself - when Metheny become famous. It's not a general theory - it was an observation at this time in Austria and Germany.
Ear training and developing a good ear, is something most never do, and never attain. Why? Because it requires being quiet, and listening.
And focus. 💗
Love Pat Metheny and of course PMG. Never see The Way Up get mentioned too much though. I fucking *love* that record.
Spot on. I guess by then he'd done so much great music it was kind of expected. But The Way Up is the culmination of the PMG and deserves a full Rick Beato analysis!
Rick, I can’t thank you enough for sharing all of your knowledge. You are single-handedly responsible for getting me excited about music all over again. Haven’t picked up the guitar in 30 years and now I can’t put it down. I’ve purchased every one of your products mostly because I’m so grateful for your time and effort but have found each one inspiring and well worth the price of admission(I have REALLY sparked to the Quick Lessons and would love to see more lessons like this one inspired by your interviews - e.g. Larry Carlton ). Anyway, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
Great testimony.
Absolutely. From the heart. I can only agree though I haven’t had the dough to buy them yet, I certainly will be sending it to Rick for his lessons as i can- and i already have a half lifetime of guitar study material- i have no idea how long it’s gonna take to get Metheny’s “ Etudes” under my fingers and into my brain. But never be discouraged by age. There is discipline i wish i had at 15 that i can just now comprehend at 50… but you can come a long way in a couple years with s guitar in your hand 5-6 hours a day and at least half of that focused study( playing while watching TV is underrated too though- just have it in ur hands for a couple good movies- don’t disturb ur significant other by playing too loud but keeping the fingers and mind active while watching something is it’s own thing and valuable use of time also). Rick is a teacher who really does want “ everybody to become a better musician”. I’ve always played a LOT just by ear- I know more than i think i do , maybe. It takes a Long time to get a grip on all this stuff unless you are a savant( I’m not even close). Pat says 6-7 years of intense study just to learn the basic language of modern jazz/ bebop. Charlie Parker opened up the doors of limitless improvisational exploration that will be keeping us all busy ,and hopefully happy , for a very long time. 👍🏻🤟🏻🙏AC
Interesting the importance of knowing your triads. Country players say the same thing. Know your triads all over. Metheny never sounds like he is working scales when soloing. it's all about the chords. I like this approach. It goes right to the heart of the matter then learning tones of scales and then WHAT do i DO with them!?
I'm 100% certain that many others commenting here had their lives changed, as I did, in 1978 by the PMG white album. My friend Terry O'Brien had a habit of slapping on hip new vinyl (ECM stuff especially) when I was at his pad. I liked nearly all those records in the way of "oh, this is hip, different, good". BUT, inside of three minutes of "San Lorenzo" -- mind blown and I felt instrumental music in a whole new way. That's the best way I think I can describe what happened to me. The other two times this occurred was seeing Weather Report in '73 at the Whisky A Go Go when "Boogie Woogie Waltz" swept me away, and when I absorbed the beauty of Max Roach's M'Boom ensemble's first record. My enthusiasms are undiminished from these experiences long ago, as with countless other musical encounters. I'm going to go back and listen to "Wish" too.
@Blair Hesling...same exact story for me...fellow band buddy put the stylus on that vinyl...first chart/track...Phase Dance...Universe changes with the intro already...also love me some Weather Report...and as a trumpet player...Chase....
weather report at the whiskey…. wow
Exactly. Remember exactly WHERE and WHEN I heard San Lorenzo. Huge event.
Yeah, San Lorenzo. In '78 there was a DC station that had a jazz/quiet storm type show that signed off at 4am with San Lorenzo, although I didn't know what it was at the time. I used to stay up so I could hear this amazing, throw-out-the-books-on-everything tune. It was like a hybrid of everything I'd been listening to since the Beatles but so much more. I didn't know who the group was but I'd heard Pat's name floating around at the time, and had an intuition that it might be him. I called the station one afternoon and the guy said that the song was by Pat Metheny. Definitely changed my musical life from that point on.
@@tee4452 ...nice one, brother...
I haven 't heard that song in AGES! The changes and melody are so beautiful.
So so stoked for this. Pat is my music muse. He’s the genius that hasn’t left my brain since my freshman year of undergrad. Rick, great job man.
People who say "stoked" are from a different Century...
@Connolly What's your point?
Came here tonight as per subscription notice after listening to Pat metheny "one quiet night" cd, thank you Rick, I am thinking maybe you can talk about Bill Frisell and John Scofield too, very significant players to me too
Went to my Real Book I, because James used to be in there, but 5th Ed. apparently removed it. I haven't got to my Pat Book yet, so having watched the excellent interview, I grabbed the Swallow tune Pat mentioned and this. I appreciate this lesson. But next Pat interview, please move past the ECM years to the next 25 albums....
You are awesome Rick! I can’t wait for the next “What makes this song great”. I hope one day you get to analyze ELO, Jethro Tull, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Gary Moore, Nightwish and Within Temptation.
Nice lession and good analisys Armonic 👌👍
Great interviews with Pat and Ron. For Pat though you only got to a couple group albums. so much more to cover. Secret story. Still life talking. Road to you. The trio albums. Orchestrion. The way up. So many great milestones. Loved the interview with Antonio Sanchez too.
Metheny interview is incredible…he is the top of any musical food chain. Also love how you celebrate so many genres & levels in your work…no snobbery. You are a gift to the world bro, grateful
You remind me of a really good mechanic taking a fancy 12 cylinder engine apart, while explaining every parts’ purpose.
Hey Rick, I understand if this may not be something you’re likely to do but I would love a “what makes this great” style video or two breaking down famous film soundtrack pieces from John Williams or Howard shore etc might a fun different video idea? Would love to hear your take on them.
2) I have been studying his music for over 2 decades and writing reviews and some análisis on his poetry (he's also a poetic genius) and if you consider this request a viable possibility I can send a list to you and your channel admins with some of the most emblematic, complex and original compositions (he recorded over 31 studio albums, 7 live, 1 known filmscore, plus several collaborations..) he left before passing away in 2012, any feedback to this request would be extremely appreciated, thank you in advance and congratulations for your world saver channel :) Arthur (Circuito Latinoamericano de Cultura)
Great stuff! Great video! I’ll never forget seeing Pat with his orchestrion. It was one of the best concerts I’ve been to, mostly because it was in a tiny venue and I was huddled on a stairwell right above Pat while he was playing!!! So cool!!!
So happy to see you teaching this tune. It’s one of the most important tunes from when I was learning jazz. when it came out(and I saw PMG on the Offramp tour when I was 16) it was life changing
For those who don’t understand this, arpeggios are simply chords, just one note at a time.
Now, all this talk of chords… and relationships…meaning how one chord relates to another. Ok, how about this: think about this like your own family. When you think of your cousin you might think of their mother or father, your Aunt or Uncle. That might be like a secondary dominant - the father of your cousin is like the V7 of your cousin - the thing that leads to you cousin. Another route: Let’s say you have four siblings, a mother and a father. The “one chord” or “I” is you. The “four chord” or “IV” is like your mother (accessible), the “five chord” or “V” chord is like your father. Those three chords, I - IV - V, are the core of music harmony. The simplest elements. Now, add to that four siblings, each with a different characteristic. The chords are the
“II” (two) chord
“III” (three) chord (easy, close to you, a lot in common)
“VI” (six) chord and (easy, close to you, a lot in common)
“VII” (seven) chord (tense, uneasy)
Get used to those sounds meaning get used to how each one feels in relation to you. There are not that many.
Core of Western Harmony* i.e. tension and release and functionality
Also, the numbering is:
I
ii
iii
IV
V
vi
vii⁰
II, III, VI, and VII in a major key are all from parallel modes.
For functionality:
I, iii, vi, are tonic(home) chords, restful
ii, IV, subdominant build a little tension
V, vii⁰ dominant build more tension than subdominant
Using just triads/3 note chords, here is a brief explanation as to why the above, in Western harmony, works put using scale numbers:
note: the fifth not being the root of the I or iii yields less tension in comparision to the subdominant chords
tonic function chords:
I and iii share 2 of 3 notes,
I is 1-3-5
iii is 3-5-7
and don't have the 4th note of the scale (slight tension builder) but the 3 has more tension than the I because it has the 7th note of the scale
subdominant function chords
ii, IV, share 2 of 3 notes,
ii is 2-4-6
IV is 4-6-1
and do have the 4th note of the scale(tension builder), but not as the 5th of the chord.
They build some tension
Dominant function chords:
the V chord is 5-7-2
the vii⁰ chord is 7-2-4
more tension building than subdominant
V, vii⁰ share 2 of 3 notes, and have the 5 and 7 as roots, the dominant function/tension building notes, and the 2nd note of the scale in the case of the V chord, and the 4th note of the scale in the case of the vii⁰, they don't contain any tonic function notes as triads
not an exhaustive explanation, but using functional harmony, chord/note function, for Western harmony, is succinct in that respect.
Obv nonfunctional harmony is a thing and smooth voice leading is a top dog in tying somewhat unrelated chords together (pedal point is a good tech for that, too)
Wanted to give the reasoning why the chords do what they do in that system.
Using an analogy could help in terms of learning how the chords and notes function, but does add another layer of abstraction and/or complexity.
One can just use functionality to explain the concept instead of using an analogy and/or a metaphor to explain functionality that then explains the concept (potentially further complicating things when using subjective familial terminology that not universal from family to family who study Western harmony).
@@Arycke Nice work. My target audience was the person who hadn’t yet understood traditional terminology even though they might have been exposed to it. Berklee terminology uses III-7 for “three minor seven” not iii7 plus, at this initial stage I didn’t want to add one more feature - lower case for minor - since sone people probably don’t even remember their Roman numerals.
As to using feelings and associations to assist a listener in perceiving the effect of one chord in relation to another, I think ear training suffers when we stick to mere functionality. Jacob Collier’s ear training was squarely centered on how a note/interval/chord/progression/modulation/tuning FEELS. Many musicians who actually function as improvising and composing musicians have no concept of functional harmony terminology yet know their way around quite well. They feel it - they play it. They perceive it or hear it and then they instantly play it.
Lastly, of course one should adjust my suggested family paradigm to fit one’s personal reality. I was not looking for universality. It was an example. I was looking to connect people on the sidelines in a way that related to them personally.
Nevertheless, good work. Truly.
If you compose or improvise, where do your ideas come from? Do you follow whatever your ear wants to hear or something else?
thank you.
He said he practiced Falling Grace in all 12 keys.
Dam… after the pat methny thing… and the other stuff.. you no longer have anything to prove… you’re the man on you tube… a budding rock prophet
Thank you so much for your interview, and this piece as well. Pat is my longtime favorite composer, player, and teacher
I hadn't even heard of Pat Metheny till watching Rick and Pat's interview, despite having seen him in videos of Joni's concerts from the late 70's. Didn't take me long to figure out that this guy is a legend, can't stop listening
Absolutely. He is one of the giants of modern jazz, and of jazz, period. He is a genius of melody. And none of that is the slightest bit hyperbolic, and I could go on. I’m vicariously excited for you. Enjoy. He has a rich catalog. For me, personally, I recommend starting with Travels, Offramp, First Circle, 80/81, Secret Story, As Falls Wichita, So Falls Wichita Falls, Still Life (Talking), and Letter From Home. But it’s all good, his works. He and Lyle Mays together, also, was a blessing from the gods. Take a listen to the self-titled Lyles Mays album, with the track Alaskan Sweet. Total classic.
He will change your life forever .. his body of work is true genius
Congratulations!!
You have just entered a whole new world! 50 years of music innumerable settings and types!
Welcome and enjoy!!
My friend you have so much catching up to do. Seriously. Start with bright size life in work up from there. Please buy his CDs new or used. Just keep getting into Pat and his live concerts. I love the various drummers with Pat. I love his friendship relationships with all his incredible talented musicians. He is an asset not just in terms of jazz but in terms of music as a whole for this world.
same here!
who doest like this? even if you don't like jazz, you learn a lot!
live videos are PITA to watch
Everybody loves jazz, they just dont know it yet.
Love you Rick! And from what I've seen and heard on your channel, your life story, all that stuff... Man, your parents would have been so proud. Proud a bit of you, proud a lot of your kids!! 🙌
Rick you are sensational, bring light into details that I thought I'd never understand.
Your interview with Pat was a wild success Rick. Thank you for your complete dedication to music.
"To The End Of The World". Studio version. Full blast on a great system. Listen. :)
Just picked up my first copy of one of his records. Was pumped, and was definitely worth it... Beautiful
What a wonderful interview, thank you Rick for Putting that together I truly enjoyed hearing from Pat, Great Job!
I imagine Rick fangirling in front of the mirror a couple hours before the interview.
(I would too). I absolutely LOVED it. Thank you very much for all this channel. Big hug from Argentina.
Very Bach-esque, frankly. Vert classical. (Pat's composition.)
Rick, you are truly inspirational to watch, especially when you pick up the guitar! Just watching you play the jazz material, has really driven me to sharpen my chord jazz knowledge. Thank You
My big brother James was a huge Pat Matheny fan, had all of his vinyl, I adopted the collection when he passed.
Rick, I love all your videos, but my favorite are a category I call music appreciation. I love hearing your views on what makes something great. I hope you will expand on great songwriters, great songs, great styles of music.
So inspired to re-listen to the live tracks on the Joshua Redman “Wish” album. Brilliant album and reminder of the genius of Charlie Haden
Rick, it wold be absolutely amazing if you can post a review / análisis video on Luis Alberto Spinetta music, the Argentinian multy genre genius of Harmony and composition, ...we thousands and thousands of Latin American musicians and listeners consider him one of the most original and overwhelming - astonishing musicians among the Universal contemporary, jazz, rock, folk, experimental music of all time, please if you can give us some hope for this suggestion you will make our day, I mean... Latin America's musicians day, thank you in advance, your content is prime prime stuff and it should be exported into some other galaxies!!
Letters From Home is one of my all time favorite songs
Great video for a great song and follow up!!!
Wow, no wonder I could never figure out music. To me, this is like calculus which to its day is still very intimidating.
Hey you should do a what makes a song great on cult of personality by living color
In the interview, Rick said words to effect of, when in doubt, play the changes. Pat responded, not just that, but good choice.(edit) So, the sound can be good even if not risky? What i heard anyway. Pat also, spoke of " off " nights. If you don't come up with better stuff when improvising, than what's written, can it be a let down for the player or listeners? I like Rick's improv. on James, hard to believe how that is Kryptonite for jazzers. Ü♥♫
First time I appreciated his music was while watching the movie Fandango (1985). It featured "It's For You", "September Fifteenth", and "Farmers Trust", all of which are in my daily "Chill" playlist.
Yes! I had a Fandango moment with Pat years ago as well.
@@kennywowie Have you ever been on one of the "Ultimate Fandango" trips? It's really fun and you get to meet several people who were in the movie. I've been three times so far.
When I first saw the movie I thought it was the most beautiful music I had ever heard but I didn't bother to see who it was by. In 1992 I discovered Pat Metheny. I was SHOCKED when I next watched the movie and found out those incredible songs were by him!
Wonderful stuff again Rick. I can't say I understood much of the theory stuff, but your passion, knowledge and the music shines through every time, thank-you!
Hi Rick ~ Bobo here new subscriber. Your interview with Pat was super wowza!! You’ve got a great channel! I dunno, But did it really ever get better than Pat, Jaco and Joni??!
Ithaca is Gorges!! ☀️
Rick’s book, ear training course and the guitar lessons are excellent. A must have.
Wow Rick how do u remember all that? Amazing
Your Gary Burton interview was the most meaningful one for me.
You lost me at the explanation on of the bridge, but I've only been playing for 43 years. Lol.
I got hooked on Pat in high school... we smoked it after school. Then we would put on Pot Methany “Still life talking”
John McLaughlin, live at The royal festival hall, Florinapolis (track 3 I think 1.52) - I knew I'd heard that bridge before! Great interview by the way, I'm planning a 3rd watch tomorrow night, just before BullyThaKids weekly hangout. Stay strong 💪 stay blessed 🙏
Great interview with Pat you did and what a great tune of his. Love your channel ... Just a quick heads up though .. the first two chord changes D ma7 to G ma7 only take up one measure not two.
I will have all this in two or three more life times, no problem…
Dr. Beato? your interview with Mr. Metheny makes you a legend in the archives of music, priceless
I discovered New Chautauqua in about 1979/80. Lovely record. Beneath Missouri Skies is probably my favourite.
Give you a laugh. I started playing guitar 5 years before Rick - and I still can’t tell the difference between a major and minor chord by ear. Nor can I tell the sound of any guitar chord by ear - except occasionally I get an Em or an F. But I do like a good bit of music theory, which is why I enjoy this very fine channel.
This theory was beyond me, but I did get the feeling that the 5 - 1s Rick was playing sounded like Bach before he mentioned ‘Bach’.
Small victories …
PS Oops. Got confused with the book - should be Beyond the Missouri Sky!
Every time you go to the “James Taylor” progression all I can hear is the Laverne and Shirley theme.
Those arpeggios around the 10 minute mark sound like some of the lines in "Swinging on a Star"
Pat Metheny interview is mind blowing
Rick - You have an amazing ear - respect !
You should be very proud Rick. I love your work.
Hi Rick! Love your live streams! I learn a lot!
Great vid. It's helpful to not stand in front of the white board when you're playing so we can see where you're going to - wider angle lens or set up the camera further back maybe. Otherwise love this stuff.
Thank you Rick!
Rick, please do Shuggie Otis’ “Strawberry Letter 23” it has one of the most transcendent guitar solos of all time and is a masterpiece!
ABSOLUTELY!
Great idea! One of my all time favorite tunes.
Is there nothing this guy can't play? genius Mr Beato
Could you repeat that? I got lost after you put the guitar down. 😉
James happens to be my favorite track on this Trio Live CD from around 2000 on Warner.
....now, I am rebuilding some of my collection; JUST LAST WEEK recieved my order for a replacement disc....GREAT TIMING !!
C#7/E# (instead of the enharmonic spelling Db//F ) in bar 3 of the B section...
The best music teacher I like.
It always surprises me how Rick doesn't talk about Bill Frisell, Terje Rypdal or John Abercrombie. These players are just as significant as Pat Metheny.
I'm surprised about Frisell, also. His influence has been huge - on the instrument, as a front man and as a side man.
Love Abercrombie's approach, and his theory is huge. Terje is quite an interesting player. I don't see either of them having the same level of influence, though.
Mike Stern and John Scofield, perhaps...
How about Ralph Towner? A genius guitarist/pianist and composer. He and Abercrombie were obvious influences on Metheny.
I also love Ralph Towner. like Pat he has a unique recognable style and sound. A handwriting.
@@GotLotsaFaith I don't think Pat is a household name like Dylan or Clapton. He's one of the more famous jazz musicians. But anyone who has been listening to this kind of music for a number of years doesn't have to ask "what is the significance of Ralph Towner, Bill Frisell, and John Abercrombie?" Or Eberhard Weber? It's the reason Pat wanted to record for ECM. Because they were all there before him. Rick definitely knows all these players.
Pat has 20 Grammys and has played/recorded with dozens of musical legends from David Bowie to Chick Corea. Frisell & company, while being excellent players, are not remotely in the same ballpark of “significance”
‚Offramp‘ was beyond influencial for me. my life literally never has been the same ever since. it made me definitely fall into the sea of music in where i learned to swim and stay above water ever since. i enjoy swimming!
Love watching your shows with closed captioning I heavily recommend it. Can you explain that Circle of Fists to us again please?
Circle of fists? Is that like a Mexican standoff?😄
It's funny you mentioned Bach. I was thinking that this Metheny progression has shades of Bach before you brought him up.
The whole "improvising from arpeggiating on the chords" is actually what you hear when listening to the Cello Suites and Violin Partitas. These are the foundations!
Mr.B!
The interview with Mr. Pat Metheny. Was interesting and informative and incredible! A true MASTER MUSICIAN of the highest order! Please interview Pat yet again! Thank you 🙏!
Thank you Rick and Pat for sharing your conversation/interview. Amazing talents talking about the thing I love most, Music!
Got to learn that. James!
When I play test a guitar at the store, the first thing I always play is “James.”
❤️ Thank you! :)
Rick do you wear all your guitars up to your neck?
One day a great player will be discovered and he or she will be interviewed and will be asked who they were inspired or influenced by and one of the names will be Rick Beato
Just listening to Pat's perspective on [pick-a-topic] was liberating and so inspiring. His transparency is refreshing. Fantastic discussion, Rick! Thank you so VERY much! (would be cool to see a similar chat with Jeff Lorber)
My favorite song by Pat is The Truth Will Always Be. Just incredibly moving.
