Do you kids (and adults) realize what a blessing this cat is to all of us? Rick is an amazing wealth of practical knowledge. Scary great player too. I think folks overlook his guitar skill. Even when he only plays a bar or two, they are "musical".
Thanks Rick! You offer great insight. This is valuable stuff.
Chicago lost it for me after album III.
Rick is old school musician. The kind that actually studies music and the complexities that it has. Not many around these days that truly understand music.
Couldn't have said it better. And I keep going back to that, if my teachers in school had his enthusiasm for their subjects, I'd have learned a heck of a lot more.
Watch more of his vids on scales and modalities. You'll start to pick up the feel each provides and that's the really important part.
Admittedly it must be nice to know the role a given note is playing, but as long as I think to hit them while playing, I can live with that.
BB King couldn't even tell you one chord from another. Never seemed to hurt his playing.
standswithfist806 So very true! He has a sincere enthusiasm and affection for the guitar! Thankfully, he can play, too...😉😁❣️
Terry Kath was a monster lost in a 7 piece horn band. He sang like Ray Charles and played like Jimi Hendrix.
You need to feature his playing since many don’t realize how great he was!!
The Terry Kath Experience
He wasn't lost at all to those who cared to listen. It's an awful shame he passed before he formed Cook County. I think there'd be a much bigger conversation around him. Though many guitarists know 'Introduction' and 'Freeform Guitar' as pieces very well. He did make his mark. Eddie Van Halen was influenced by the latter. But I agree, I wish he was in conversations a lot more. He had a bigger splash that was due him.
On you tube is the entire Tanglewood Concert...When Terry starts in on his vocals for Color my World you can seem James Pankow in the background just smiling in awe and appreciation for Terry's voice...Terry Kath's guitar prowess is mostly understood if not somewhat underappreciated...but his voice is something that gets little discussion...off the charts sublime and soulful.
I wontbsaybhe was lost in Chicago with the horns..It is sensational.. Yh it isnt the guitar God status (for people not knowing his work well) ..But it is a different flavour.. I for one love Chicago's 70s stuff with all the horns.. Multiple singers.. Absolutely beautiful
Hotel California was recorded 40 minutes from my house. I've recorded in the room where they sat, and I've recorded in the room where the amps were placed. The vibe is so happening.
I know it's basically a cliché as often as it's played, but the Hotel California solo still kills me.
the solo is better than the song itself
Can't stand to listen to Hotel California or Stairway to Heaven.Both have epic solos.Joe Walsh had some brilliant moments with the Eagles.
shawn- felder came up with the music to hotel California....
Its cliche alright, still fun to play ,approachable, from the player and audience's perception, many eagles songs are great, great
hooks , melodies and stories. A buddy really likes King of Hollywood, that hook is from who knows where, like Hotel Calfornia lends itself to a great solo, simple, complicated and sort of unexpected
@@padeprenom Yeah the song like most/all eagles songs is very generic. Not as generic though as for example Tequila Sunrise.
Terry Kath was one of the greatest guitarists ever,in my humble opinion. And when you add his incredibly powerful and soulful vocals over top of his phenomenal playing it just doesn't get much better. He was the heart and soul of Chicago!
Terry Kath. What a breath of fresh air! Thank you for giving him the respect he and his band deserve. Still fighting for the place the brass instruments deserve, while being so right with the rest of their music.
I was fortunate to have seen Terry with Chicago back in '76 when my mom took me to my first concert. My favorite part of the "Searchin" solo is the last note, when Terry slides up to the C on the 8th fret on the 6th string and bounces up and down the fretboard. Their current guitarist, Keith Howland, did a great job with this solo when I saw them live last year. Thanks, Rick, for continuing to deliver the great stuff!!!
The solo Terry did on This Time from his last album with Chicago was the pinnacle of his talent. Raw emotion within the constraints of a pop tune.
Thanks for covering Terry. One of the best if not THE best.
Terry Kath is so underrated. Chicago was my first favorite band. When I was in about sixth grade (circa 1974) I found their first album in my older sister's record collection, and I was blown away. I think he may have been the first important musician to me who died.
Yes! Kath is an incredible influence and deserves so much more recognition.
You sir, make UA-cam worthwhile. Thanks again, Rick!
That's a true statement!
Yes...best for education & information. I'm jealous of his knowledge! Good Man !✌❤
I really appreciate the level of music theory that Rick uses to analyze each song, each solo, each instrument part. And in this video, I truly am so glad that Rick recognizes Terry Kath as one of the greatest guitar musicians. You hit the nail on the head with this one! I will continue to play catch-up on watching Rick's videos. There's always something to learn.
Would love to see you do more on Terry Kath. I've listened to him for 40+ years and still notice new levels to what he did. Just a monstrous talent.
Same he should do 25 or 6 to 4
0:15 - Hotel California - The Eagles
3:35 - Peg - Steely Dan
7:40 - (I've Been) Searchin' So Long - Chicago
Man you should bring this series back.
Thanks for appreciating the incredible talent that Terry Kath brought to Chicago. Totally underrated.
Love the choice of Steely Dan and Chicago. In my mind Chicago really never recovered musically when Terry died.
The Eagles was my late father’s favorite band. (I chose to play Hotel California and Sad Cafe during his funeral.) You’ve touched on them within other videos, and it has never ceased to make me miss my father all the more.......because you play their music in a way that truly encapsulates what it is that makes this band absolutely phenomenal. Thank you for sharing your incredible artistic gift.
Great to hear a tribute to Terry Kath. My older brother had those early Chicago albums, and his solos (which get cut from the radio versions) have stayed with me ever since.
All of early Chicago’s lineup, the ambitiousness of their full album cuts, and the incredible funk and swing of their original sound, were world-class, but seem almost forgotten now.
I'd love to see you do in in depth, lengthly episode on Terry Kath!
I like that idea!
Rick, at this point I'm expecting to pay royalties on my memories of the eagle's concerts I attended in the 70's, including Hotel California!

Rick, I have watched many but enjoyed yours the most. I am 65 and been playing since I was 10 as point of reference ...you do a fine job with your enthusiasm, historical perspective and a you are a slam dunk on the neck!
It should be noted for the Kids who weren't around in 1976 when the song Hotel California by the Eagles came out. That Lovers of Hard Rock were shocked to hear such a song coming from The Eagles because it was way beyond what was thought capable of the Eagles who were more of a songwriting Folky Rock Band at the time. Yet, on the song Hotel California, Don Felder and Joe Walsh together laid down on one of the best lead guitar solos of the Classic Rock Era.
Terry Kath was one of the greats. Criminally underrated. Hendrix called him a superior player. Thanks for covering his work, this Chicago fan appreciates it!!
Just like Gary Richrath! They don’t make them like these guys any more.
Hendrix apparently called everyone a superior player, including me.
I’ve learned very few solos note for note-I’ll usually learn just a few beginning phrases (to fool the listener into thinking they’re hearing the recorded solo) then improvise the rest. But each one that I have learned has been very helpful in expanding my ear and adding to my improvisational vocabulary. Felder’s and Walsh’s solo on Hotel California is one of the solos I’ve learned and I’m very glad I did. One of the things enlightening to me was how many of the full-step country-style bends are incorporated. The same for Mark Knopfler’s solos and licks in Sultans of Swing, another tune which I learned everything-fills and solos-note for note. My jazz guitar coach, Mark Stefani, is real believer in transcribing and learning the classic solos of the greats. I know I should do more of this, but the press of constantly playing gigs is a barrier time-wise. But it always pays off. My most recent solo memorization project was Dicky Betts’ solo in Ramblin’ Man. Another eye-opener in that he was a genius at coming up with great licks using only the major pentatonic scale.
An interesting side note on the whole UA-cam take down issue: Don Felder used to have a couple of videos up where he taught both parts of the solo to Hotel California and *that* got taken down. …and he wrote the damn thing!
Some listeners can't be fooled.
He wrote it, but he don't own it. The music business is messed up, man.
jazu True, but typically the listeners that aren’t fooled are musicians themselves, and they’re not going to mind that you’re improvising your own solo.
Great shout on Dickie Betts in Ramblin' Man!! Duane Allman (God Rest his Soul) was an awesome guitarist but Betts, although appreciated, is underrated... his solo work on Jessica is also mightily impressive, it just flows so nicely
I had a similar experience. Learning the Comfortably Numb solo was a huge breakthrough and after my soloing improved massively. Every time I wanna move up another level I pick a solo that seems impossible and just work at it till I get it.
I love your love of music and am jealous of your knowledge and talent. Music is my heartbeat. I’m lost without it.
Mr. Beato...is there anything musically that you can't do? It is such a joy to watch you...talking, teaching, playing, even griping! And, I too am a huge Terry Kath fan. Thank you for the wonderful stream of golden musical nuggets.
Got goosebumps when you said Terry Kath!
Great video Rick!! You are definitely one of the most spontaneous, yet polished UA-cam music educators of there!!
I do not play any instrument, so do not get what you talk about. But I love music. I have been loving classic and progressive rock for all my life (I am almost 56). Your competence, I can only guess. But your passion is truly contagious. Thank you Rick, thank you so much.
awesome. not only is the Peg solo a master class in melodic and target note phrasing and perfect overdriven tone but learning it is a great chops builder because of all the cool techniques Graydon crams into that 29 seconds of electric guitar perfection. I spent years working on it off and on. the other two excerpts also awesome. yes, kath was amazing. and really the best soul singer in the band.
So pleased you featured a Steely Dan solo! They had so many great axe men over the years pass through the ranks. Personal favourites are both Denny Dias's and Jeff "Skunk" Baxter's on "Bodhisattva".
My favorite is his solo on Rikki Don't Lose that Number
God damn Bodhisattva was crazy. I LOVED playing it on Rock Band on expert. It's the only way I can.
70s rock. Just the best there ever was in any genre.
I understand virtually nothing you say in these videos...yet I freaking love them! I did some amateur singing in rock and funk bands for a while, and was blown away by the couple of trained musicians in the those bands. We hand a 15 yr old guitarist / music theory student who didn't know a lot of classic rocks songs that were covered, so the bassist (also a killer player and trained in music theory) would tell him what key, tempo, how many measures to fill, and the kid would fill a solo in on his own - usually really good for winging it on the fly, at 15 no less . Then he'd come back the next week and play the solo darn near note for note... People would pay us a compliment like, "You're good musicians." and I'd tell them, "I'm just the idiot front man. THOSE are the musicians." :) Music - it's the great unifier. Wish I could have studied it as a kid.
Dope. Peg was a great choice!
Killer vid. I’m so glad you mentioned Terry. Very under rated guitarist. All three solos, genius!
Thanks for giving some love to Terry Kath. You ought to do a whole video on him, guitar and vocal.
Isn't it a wonderful thing to be able to play these amazing guitar solos. You make it look so easy. Great stuff.
I am not a guitarist, just a music lover. Thank you for helping me and I'm sure lots of other folks to kind of get an understanding of the nuances and mastery behind our favorite songs. Cheers from NY!
Glenn Tilbrook..."Another Nail In My Heart"..."Black Coffee In Bed"...."In Quintessence"...Very Underrated...
I'd love to see a spot-on play of Mick Taylor's solo on "Can't You Hear Me Knocking?"
I'd forgotten that track, thanks for the jog. Second best Stones track after Shelter?
@@iaincook5835 don’t forget the Devil
What a great group of choices. Four different approaches, all brilliant!
When I learned the Hotel California I was so amazed by the phrasing, and have later come to analyze why it does it so well. It's not only the little blues tricks, but the way the solo jumps between minor and dorian, with harmonic minor notes mixed in. It also perfectly hits the notes of the chords in the background. Simply amazing.
Fun Fact: one day at an outdoor concert, Jimi Hendrix, as he heard Terry Kath play, stated that Terry was the best guitar player he had ever heard in his life.
***That compliment came from arguably the best guitarist in the world at the time. ***
🙄
Brilliant! The third one really surprised me. Great choice.
I played the Joe parts more times than I could count (hundreds!!!) when I gigged with the Illegal Eagles between 1997-2000. It was always a blast! Thanks for this great post Rick.
As a music lover, and particularly a Classic Rock fan, I am thankful for your love and dedication to breaking this stuff down. Me ears track right along with your talent.
Rick, you rock! Thank you so much for bringing the great Terry Kath to the fore! He tends to get forgotten, but he was incomparable. And, as you know, even the great Hendrix said so. "25 or 6 to 4." 48 bars of one of the best solos I have ever heard.
DF wrote all the solos including the Joe Walsh sounding part. He talks about it his book Heaven and Hell: My Life in the Eagles
Terry Kath - Great musician/guitarist and inventor/conceptual influencer of the original Pignose amplifier. Great Respect from the U.K.
Absolutely love your videos Rick! Keep doing what your doing!
That 12 string sounds incredible, my god
But the electric sounded crap, mostly down to the gain and EQ settings of the amp, I suspect.
A month or so ago Tim Pierce Guitar uploaded a clip of Graydon going through/analysing his Peg solo. It's worth a watch for those who like the solo.
Excellent demo, three classics, your ear for music shows in your playing awesome job.
The Peg guitar solo is a masterpiece. It literally talks, but never loses the moment. That sustain on the end says to me that letting go is never easy.
Killer as usual Rick. One of my favorite Joe Walsh lines you just nailed, and don't forget the zip slide after that lick
Hotel California is my all time favorite guitar solo! I ablsolutely love it, thanks for this!
Rick I'm so glad I found your channel. Thanks so much for your inspiring posts.
Love that solo in 'Peg' as well as the bass line, which is one of my current favorites to play along. Keep m coming 👍
These are 3 great solos! My favorite band is Steely Dan so I'm very happy to hear Peg. One solo I do love and I think gets overlooked is Led Zepplin's "!0 Years Gone". I think it gets overlooked because there is just too many epic guitar solos by Jimi Page, but dammit that's my favorite!
Oh, yeah! Respect for Terry Kath!!! Thank you, Mr B.
Rick! Great job. Putting Terry Kath in this made me cry. A good cry but still a cry. Beautiful...sniff...
Rick I've never seen your videos before but I can tell you're an awesome guitarist and a fantastic teacher!
So I'm going to check out the rest of your videos! - Thanks, Dude!
Killer stuff Rick! Hope it wont be taken down. Keep up the great work!
Love this!
I’ve always thought May’s solos, particularly around the night at the opera and sheer heart attack period, are like an extra set of lyrics - like a good subplot. Killer queen has been played so often I think people forget how wonderful that solo is. Are you a fan?
Ps so cool to see someone else loving the Hitch a ride solo. That was a real treat. Cheers from the U.K.
Your really hitting something here on your lead playing lessons for these great tunes. You skills deserve some mad props. Enjoy your videos!
Nailed PEG - and played exactly as Graydon did it. Nice playing Mr Beato! My personal favourite 30 seconds of guitar soloing ever.
Good stuff! "25 or 6 to 4" by chicago also has a killer solo
Make Me Smile does as well. Kath was the man!
Yeah he was incredible
Sam L killer
The live version from Tanglewood is incredible
Terry Kath needs some respect. The 1st time I heard Chicago Transit Authority I swore Hendrix must've joined the band.
Hendrix loved Kath's playing.
I saw Chicago in 1971 and Terry Kath was great. Since then I had the chance to see Clapton Jeff Beck, Winter, Zappa, Metheny, Scofield,and to hear a lot of others greats, but Terry Kath always had a special place in my heart.He was a natural band leader, a great singer and a great player.I think he is very much underrated !
@@SpammerOvTheGods
Ha I used to force cats to listen to Kath. Rock snobs that couldn’t stand the horns. It took Freeform Guitar to hook most of em, but they always walked away with a different attitude
Terry Kath: vastly underrated and underappreciated!
He rips CTA's 1st two albums.
Great video! I feel like this video could just go on and on forever. Too many great guitar solos!!
Three solos from 3 of my favorite bands when I was in h.s. I love your teaching!
Oh boy, I REALLY hope this doesn't get taken down!
Yes for Terry Kath! My Dad brought me up on Kath's playing.
This is pure gold. Sounds like you’ve got all those voicings exactly as they’re played!
This is what I have been missing! Thanks Rick! Love the Beato book!!!
Beautiful 12 string tone. Oh my god
Yes!
He's a phenomenal musician.
Love it! Steely Dan content is ALWAYS welcome!! :)))
This was awesome. I love having the solos that once eluded me explained by someone with Rick's prowess
I've been listening to these solos for 40+ years but I'm now appreciating them so much more because of Rick's great breakdowns. Sensational!
I absolutely love, and miss Terry Kath!
CHICAGO ! Been asking for a while , Thank you Rick.
Still waiting for a feature on Kath or a "What makes this song great?" on one of Chicago's tunes.
Another great video Rick. Thanks for all your work because I learn some solid and useful ideas every time.
Rick, you should do a series on Terry Kath. He was such a massive guitarist. I've loved Chicago since I was a kid and they were all over the radio in the seventies. But I had to get older(and see some videos.....) to really appreciate what we lost in 1978. Keep up the good work, I learn something(even if I don't use it when I play guitar)every time I watch one of your videos.......so I keep coming back for more!
Beautiful! First, wow, it's easy to tell that you're a producer - the backing track and the solos are so great sounding!............ I have a random thought for you. I'm sure you're aware that there's a settings button on the video control area at the bottom of the videos here. There is a button for Speed. What if you recorded your video like normal, but then saved it at double-speed and published it. Then somewhere in your instructions you tell people to play it at half speed so it sounds normal. I wonder if that would trick the automated "copyright detecting crap"?
Brilliantly played and the men that wrote and performed this changed the rock world...loved the Eagles...our first song was Witchy Woman
Thank you, so very much, Rick! You have brought my music obsession up quite a few notches (much to the grumpiness of my partner) and taught (an continue to teach) me a lot. I am in your debt, and am honored you share all that you do with us.
Thanks for the props on Terry Kath. Break down "Takin' It On Uptown" sometime.
Fantastic video as always Rick. I was wondering if you have any plans on covering some Danny Gatton in the future? I feel like he's one of the great guitar players nobody talks about but his playing is so incredibly beautiful and complex mixing chords and licks in his soloing in the most interesting ways. Just a quick listen to Sleepwalk on youtube will blow most guitar players minds!
Thanks and looking forward to your next video!
I believe Danny Gatton won awards for his prowess on the guitar , in Jazz , Country and Rock ? The record labels didn't now where to put him. The stick he did playing slide with a full open beer bottle, soaking the guitar then playing over, under and around it with a towel was Phenomenal . One of the Best, hands down..
You are simply a machine. Incredible musician. Thank you
Thanks for being willing to put in the time on a video that might get taken down. I now have a much better understanding of these three cool guitar solos!
Great choices Rick and so glad you included Terry Kath... I thought you might choose 25 or 6 to 4. I think one of the greatest guitar solos from that era. Only guitar player cited when Hendrix was asked who's better that you...
Hendrix was on same bill as Chicago and considered adding percussion to his group after hearing Chicago percussionists and was impressed with Terry Kath
Yeah, the “25 or 6 to 4” is my favourite Kath solo, wah wahs and all.
I don't think people talk enough about the significance of Terry Kath. He was brilliant! Supposedly, even Jimi Hendrix admitted Terry Kath was a better guitar player.
Hendrix often claimed other guitarists were better than him. It was often to get journalists to stop referring to him as the "best guitarist"
@@tribeshift Billy Gibbons as well.
He wasn’t underrated by us players of the time by any means but it is sad that is place among the greats of the era is overlooked today, he was every bit as important as Hendrix Page Beck etc etc
I can’t take people talking better best all that bullshit Hendrix was Hendrix, Kath was Kath and that’s all there is to that
I am glad someone’s appreciating great music, thanks!
Mr. Rick, all I want to say is thanks for your work, you are the best. Thanks from Ecuador.
38 Special has some pretty good solos too!! At first I thought they were easy to play but boy was I wrong!
"why can't we, forget about the past?..."
@@johnnycockatoo1003 there's a certain melodicism that's missing in today's music that was a normal thing back then. So it's nice to look at what has been done by particular players to sort of give a different perspective on phrasing and note selection. Shred is my love but there's a lot to be said about the way guitarists rocked out back then.
Jeff Carlissi, right? A solid, melodic player for sure. Thinking of dudes like Elliot Easton and Neil Giraldo too!
The outro guitar solo to "Hold on Loosely" is so good!
@@kennet7837 Yeah it is!! A lot of his bends are tricky to play!
Please do Mick Taylor, "Time Waits for No One" from "It's Only Rock-n-Roll.
YEEEESSSS!! EXACTLY. ITS LIKE SANTANA MEETS .....I DUNNO....MICK TAYLOR? LOL.
Superb as ever Rick. I pick up something new every time I relearn this song.
Awesome tone that you have dialed in for the 'Hotel California Solo'. Just awesome. Cheers !
Unfortunately, not enough people remember Terry Kath. People who aren't familiar with him should give his stuff a listen.
I remember being sad when he passed, couldn't believe it, you're correct early Chicago was the background music of the 70's. Blood, Sweat, and Tears was another good band of that time, loved the horns in both bands.
Very sad how some great players are overlooked and others are overrated
No music can be overrated. It is 100% subjective to your own tastes. Overlooked.... due to marketing etc, possibly. Overrated though, not possible.
Terry Kath = awesomeness
D Bo bullshit,lots of of music out there has been overrated,your statement is dumb.
