    Rick Beato is the only one that can advertise "how to modernize your sound with THIS ONE EASY TRICK" and not be clickbait.

      Yeah, Adam Neely and Rick Beato are my go to guys for an in depth discussion about theory. It really helps out when you are in a rut.

    I cry and curse every time I watch one of your videos. (In a good way. Lol). EVERY video I have ever watched from you has UPGRADED both my knowledge AND my play. I want to go to school for music but I fear they won't get anywhere near this creative level. You fill in the gaps on all my theory(street taught) and I appreciate you for that. Thanks man. Keep up the good work! 😓😪

    Rick manages to completely break down Todd Rundgren's sound in under 10 minutes..... mind blown-- totally one of the best UA-cam resources for musicians, and one of the best resources for musicians anywhere on the web. Thanks Rick!!

    • @moiseechen

      WhiteOakAmps yes. I too hear Mr. Rundgren in this, as well as Dori Caymmi!!!

    Being a native Spanish speaker, I'm glad to see someone has added Spanish subs to this video. The aim to share information with fellow musicians and music enthusiasts who don't necessary understand English it's great, that tells a lot about the music theory community in UA-cam. As always, awesome content you post here Rick!

    Why don't you have like a million subscribers by now! You are so awesome and so genuine. How can you have such an open heart to reveal to us such secrets. Oh God bless ya Rick! Not everything is shown by 'views' and 'subs' but you're certainly touching a lot of lives and making a difference in the world your own way!

    Wow! And all these years, I have been inverting chords just to make them more convenient to play. Now it makes so much more sense why when I play with the band my chords sound different and fill out the song better! Thanks for this eye opening video!

    Reaction video of me watching this video:
    First 2 minutes is me going, "yup, I can follow that"
    Next 3 minutes is me with a "hang on, I I have reservations about this" look on my face.
    The rest is me crying my way through a haunted swamp on an out-of-control airboat.

    Nice "progressive" sounding chords... I hear a lot of voicings (similar to these) in Maria Schneider's work (Maria Schneider Jazz Orchestra) ...I love her harmonisations! (By the way: how about a Sounding Off with Maria Schneider?)

    Dylan's (and your) voice really bring it to life. Anytime I hear an interesting chord progression played with voice or horns, especially when compared to originally hearing it on a piano, it has so much more richness. Thanks for demonstrating.

  • @FlowtnWitWalden
    @FlowtnWitWalden 6 років тому

    I love this... in my backward, untrained, fumbling way I wrote a progression with a common tone but rather than using inversions I used chords of a scale, kind of like a McCartney "Blackbird" idea...
    but what you just demonstrated is the sound I was really after... jogging my musical memory this reminds me of McCoy Tyner's work on "Inner Voices." It's a sound that's always resonated to my liking.

    Those chords sound like the piano stuff Joni Mitchell was playing in the late '70s, no doubt drawing on the modern jazz she was listening to and the musicians she was playing with, like Pat Metheny, Jaco Pastorius, and others. You can really hear that kind of thing when Herbie Hancock did the album River, where he reinterpreted her songs.

    I've always liked that sound a lot. The first place I can specifically remember hearing it was on a Todd Rundgren record (Initiation.) I use that family of voicings all the time.
