I have watched this 4 times so far and am still trying to absorb the surface of what Aydin is doing and how you are analyzing it. Thanks so much for the video!
honestly rick your explanations of song structure is about all i need to learn to play music. you have a gift and im so glad your sharing it
I couldn't agree more!
I love having the piano playing the chords and melody notes in the background while your are explaining the theory.
Perhaps my favorite Rick analysis video EVER!!!!! Love the piano overlay!!
Amazing
Thanks Brett!
Brett Bottomley Rick is amazing!! unique in his own right
It's mind blowing, what great musicians Rick and Aydin are.
This is so amazing to see live like that as RB analyzes the melodic decisions around the chord changes. Just Amazing. I like stumbling on videos like this which I missed 5 years ago.
Love these type of videos, keep the great work Rick!
I love how you have the chords and scales playing in the background as you go over them so we can hear the sounds. Really great.
Rick this made my day so exciting. You introduced me to Aydin and I have never looked back. He is like you said: once in a lifetime musicians.
Yes indeed
Great harmony and beautiful solo. This kind of harmony is right up my alley! Good job.
Absolutely amazing. Thank you.
Rick the way this video is edited with the piano overdubs is really great. Awesome work, and great content!
Soooooooooo good. 1 pass. Best note choices! With that particular keys sound it's like a more fusiony Kevin Moore.
11 b7 13 is a winning sonority. Beautiful!
please... make more Aydin-analysis !
Yipes!
This is slowly but surely breaking me out of old stale patterns. Thanks again.
I love to watch em play amazing talent.
Futuristic harmonic solutions!Great thank you
Thankyou so much, this is really super valuable to me, exactly the sort of material I crave. I was only marvelling at Aydin's aptly titled "Beauty" the other evening.
this kind of skills is stunning, i wish someone in underground music could imagine and play harmony like that
fantastic work thankyou for sharing !
I love the editing with all the examples!
One of your best videos. Really clear and easy to understand with the piano examples in real time. This took a lot of work i'm sure.
Been looking forward to this :)
rick you are awesome..........thanks for all your videos........
cool beans. Great listening for a Sunday night. Thanks
fantastic as ever Rick...............
I knew I was into something Amazing 3 Minutes into Ricks Breakdown......unbelievable information to take in!!!
Thank You so much:-))..
Thank you Rick, and Aydin. 😊
I m from turkey and aydin is a legendary man....
there is a turkish interview with Aydin on a turkish tv show, would you care to help me understand it ?
Ari PLUS ofcourse 🤗
This kind of in-depth analysis, with the pencil and the piano examples.. that's the way.. greatest educational content for a long time. So much to learn from that. Thanks a lot, Rick! Looking forward to more of those. The Beato Book is bought ;)
Thank you Rick for summing up in a few sentences the "secret" of improvisation. The ear guides the hands......but some folks seem to get it a lot faster than others. That can be frustrating for us slower hearers. Still, it is encouraging to understand the principle of where we are heading......
I have a new favorite Beato video! This one's as valuable as studying Mozart.
I find the bottom line to be the real nugget of wisdom. I'm very far from understanding all the topics covered on this video (the theory behind it is very advanced), but this episode goes to show how amazing one's music can become once you develop your music knowledge to a very high level so it becomes a natural part of your playing.
Thanks for sharing this Rick!
Hi Rick I really like the art of soloing episode 1 and 2 your break down of the solo and showing the relation to chords great. Will you be making more of these with othe amazing guitar Gods.
This is gold! Thanks you!
Ron Castro.....This is the best..Thank You Rick
Great analasys Rick! Watching you always helps me understand new concepts! And at least makes me consider new posibilities even though i can´t incorporate everything into my own playing, but parts of it! :D I´m auditioning for music university today so thanks! :D
Great, great video.
THIS is what I've been waiting for.
AYDIN is a Beast!
Amazing video and amazing ideas! Best regards from Turkey!
If someone gave this chord progression to you on the spot, without having been exposed to it before, and you are able to improvise over it, you must certainly be a beast.
It was easier for me to see the score when you zoomed in at 8:26.
Thanks a lot for this video, Rick!
Esen = My god . Thanks Beato
My girlfriend bought me a DW-8000 this past Christmas. Kick ass synth, I say it's still state of the art :) Had to smile when I heard that solo. Crazy cool breakdown though. Need some time to absorb this lol.
Please do more videos like this 🙏
Oh yeah! Speechless once again. / Superbly complex chord prog, need to re-watch 6000 times
Incredible
Great video Rick!
Thanks Derryl!
Amazing
One interesting point to add: the ending 6-note sequence is a mirror image (with some alterations) of the opening 6-note sequence.
Thanks Rick for all the work you do. The reposted FleetwoodMac on flatfiv.com is also phenomenal. Well said at the end: it has to be instinctve, otherwise it does not sound musical.
Once again, thanks for sharing, Rick. Pretty incredible tune, soloing and great analysis/explanation, as usual. Peace, cheers from Brazil.
Jaco Pastorius' solo on Havona should be part of this fascinating series of videos Rick!
Could you do one of these for Billy Corgan with Soma or Pat Martino on Just Friends?
Fantastic work.
Now I'm trying to imagine trying to analyze his shredding once he really gets going and is playing sheets of sound.
It is a shame Holdsworth and Aydin never made an album (that I know of).
Eli Friedmann Thinking the exact same thing. Aydin, Allan, Gary Husband... 🧠🧠🧠
I hope Aydin makes his own youtube channel someday
Thank you, thank you, thank you and thank you!!!! I appreciate every detail you put into this lesson and playing the chords in the background.
As bayrakları as as...
Hey, Mr. Beato. I liked to start with saying that I dig your lessons and you're a hell of a player. Question: In your analysis of this brilliant soloist/composer, I noticed that you stated the Emin7#5's chord tones, but if the fifth is raised a semi tone, wouldn't you strictly call C natural the actual chord tone not B as well as? Wouldn't that by if it were E7, or Em7? Granted, your jazz theory and substitutions far exceed mine. I know that you can superimpose things, as I'm primarily a guitar and keyboard improv player myself. I know songs - I just prefer improv. I play jazz, but I'm not a truly jazzer. I just understand how to play through the changes however. Nothing too complex though.
How amazing Rick!
He played chord tones. Simple and effective. Was the harmony improvised as well or was it a set harmony?
Rick I gotta hear that Aydin improv again that you used to play for Dylan. The video got immediately taken down. I need to study it. How can I get it?
❤
As normal a fantastic video even for a non player. to watch. Please can i make a suggestion for a future Art of Soloing. Can you do one for Peter Green from the first incarnation of Fleetwood Mac ( And some would say the best )
Rick, thanks a lot for the lesson! AYDIN is a great inspiration already for many years!
That last chord on the bar 3 - "Em7#5". Just curious why didn't you mention that it might be an E aeolian and E phrygian structures as well?
Thanks a lot again!
Because he played the b7 b6 and 5th which could be either.
Where can I hear/buy full song? It sounds very Mats/Morgan-ish!
It shouldn't work, but it DO work, IT DO!
where can we hear the original recording?
I love how Jazz turns music into some calculus or something lol.
Like, music theory is pretty much all math. And while most of us only get through algebra, Jazz takes it up to quantum physics.
DQ, never heard that before except when in the mood for some frozen desert product.
I wonder sometimes as I watch you break certain things down, how calculated do you think some of these details are? I thought about this as I watched the Fleetwood Mac video when you were breaking down the melody of the vocals on the first verse. Is Lindsey aware of all of these microdetails or is happening subconsciously
He talks about that at the end of the video. It's all internalized after years of practice and developing one's ear.
Great job
Rick, thanks for your videos, can you please do a Polyphia episode? cheers!
I has a headache behind me eye now......
I had a Korg DW8000 and a Roland Juno 106 - many people think the Juno to be the superior synth, but it could never do these kind of leads (the aftertouch helps a load!).
How do you know the first chords came from dorian mode?
OMG, OMG, i LOVE this!!!! I want to incorporate this kind of movement in my guitar playing. Will the Beato book work for someone like me who has some understanding of music theory but can't read music??
I think analyzing this tune was not the intention of Aydin. It sounds to me he was creating this tune on the spot. Like free form. Rick, you explained it right at the end of your video. The art of soloing.
Nicely explained. Reminded me to practice anticipation more. So thank you for that! Why do you use #5 for an altered chord instead of b13?
I actually use both. #5 doesn’t take up as much room as b13.
Hahaha. Simple, but effective.
Could A/Eb also suggest locrian?
Locrian, Alt Dominant or Dominant Diminished
Awesome video! Can you please do one on David Gilmour?
Em7#5, Asus2/C#? Why not just call it m7b6 chords? Seems more consistent as they're aeolian sounds, right?
Exact voicing. Just like DQ/E, it tells you exactly how to voice the chord and shows you the voice leading. Thx!
Makes sense, thanks!
I see Brett Bottomly commented. Rick, check out his videos!
You lost me on b-flat 11... Sorry 😂😂😂
Great video btw 👍
superdaddys69 well you're at the right place to help yourself learn about all of this!
Now i have a major headache 😂
Mine is more of a minor flat 5 headache.
Have you ever tried transcribing trumpet lines?
Hundreds of times. I’ve transcribed so many trumpet solos that I couldn’t begin to count.
The trouble I'm running into is that the trumpet is pretty much out of range of the guitar. Do you transcribe an octave below? Also, it seems like the trumpet in God Bless The Child (BS&T) G is in concert pitch. I really love Lew Soloff's solo. He seems like he's doing Bebop Lines...
Regards,
Jeff
HI very interisting, i like a lot your approach. I always had an empiric approach too, and sometimes you answer to question that i have touch without really finding an issue. Sometimes i say you see you touch it, and rick go further, so continue to work and go deeper. harmony negatives, chromatic soloing, playing a justify thing...here i have a question about the chord of the bar 5. it looks for me as a A maj7 9...so you talk about the fifth between the c# and g#?Bar 3 i notice the DQ/E , it's a voicing of C maj 9? : E CGD...the B is given in the solo..the G# is suggested? In fact sometimes when i play, i insist naturally on common notes, is what the guy have done at the beginning with the first three notes...as you have notice. i think that we are able to identify those note instinctively. Their is a situation inverse, too, some time we play directly the missing note of the chord without analyzing nothing. Is like getting the top note or the bass. sometimes i had some student, that are so catched to the top the note that can't sing the third under. I had some who will naturally add a ninth to the chord for the color and won't be able to redo it...or to catch the harmonic notes they have in head. It's a real question because, all start for me when i was singing common notes in a single line, while i was hearing harmonic changement in my brain, that i wasn't able to make it sound with my voice ( I was really child)..that was the begining of my research on music. I m sure you have a lot of stuff about this to share. Thank you , continue, you do a great job!!!
jazz funk hey your comment had some insights for me, though your word choice was challenging. I relate to your comment about hearing music that you can't recreate. I want to know more now
hi with pleasure...we can try to communicate about this subject. it's a kind of quest to get what we have in our ears...
Can you make an art of soloing Jimmy page, stairway to heaven?
Chaosfever:
Agree. In live performances Page changed and added different arpeggios on Stairway and Jones and Bonham changed a rhythm section in the guitar solo .
Led Zeppelin and all his members are the only Heavy Rock band that I've been hearing playing their songs always different and like they were like jazz jamming, taking risks, unlike the rest of bands playing their own hit songs as they were recording copying themselves perfectly.
Of course this made Zeppelin making some errors on their performances but when they were in "the zone" all that changes were in spot and on fire and audience never knew what to expect and every new concert was a new experience and it was all about the music.
That's why their bootleggs concerts have such demand.
Another superb video. One question I have is, when you say “This is an x chord which is really a y”, what do you mean by “really”? Do you mean “could also be described as” or do you mean “is actually functioning here as” or something else. Thanks again for a great video.
Could also be described as. Thanks !
Rick ! Please, do the art of soloing: Far Beyond the sun by Yngwie Malmsteen (solo). I love this series.
coisas de turcos
sounds similar to what holdsworth was doing at the time on synthaxe
Agree.
i know some of these words
So in a way jazz is really just making stuff up as you go.
That's a way to look at improvisation, rather than jazz.
Deniz Bilman If you're really good then you can improvise over jazz.
Yes, and also classical music. There is only one music really. But people do write pieces as well.
Dear all musicians, This is too complex to understand. Can anyone tell me what key the piece of music is ? I see from music sheet it is "C" major key. But how can so many complex chords borrowed from another keys ? Can anyone tell the theory behind it ? for my learning. many thanks.
kumarramesh46 after a point
Music isn’t really in a key anymore
Think more moment to moment
Composers will use things like motif or common tone pathways as is explained above
Thanks so much Bro for your time and details. Sorry for my poor theory knowledge, Trying to understand from where does he derives these chords progression ? For eg: if i am in C major key , i know the chords are C , Dm, Em, F, G , Am etc etc. In this video, I am not understanding , how without knowing the Key we can derive the chords progression ? Fully confused bro. Please shed some light in to this. Many thanks. !
Yeah think of voicings here as sounds rather than chords.
Thanks Bro for your time . I am actually trying to understand the theory behind all these chords from a composition point of you.
Exactly. In a lot of jazz or other modern music chord qualities are chosen much more for their sound and texture than for their traditional function in a key. That doesn't mean they have to abandon functional harmony completely (although many do), it just opens things up significantly to bring in more color.
So the easy answer to your question is "he probably thought it sounded cool, so he just did it."
Thought it was Frank Zappa at first glance... Amazing pianist though... Zappa would probably have enjoyed him or tried to get him in his band...
Amazing solo as always, amazing explanation as always. :)
By the way you can get Aydin's music here: aydinesenmusic.com
Does this guy think like this? Or does he play what he feels like the masters? I guess he does that. I wonder how people get to that level where they can intuit these things.
I feel at home when things are explained with pen and paper. It reminds me of the time when I learned Taylor series, a subject far easier than this... and also far less interesting.
