Rick plays B minor chord. Wonder if The Eagles will block this because that is the first chord in Hotel California.
That Bm run he played actually reminded me of the intro to I've Just Seen A Face. Very similar concept.
Don't give Henley any ideas
The Eagles would probably already have blocked him for using standard tuning:
EAdGbE = Eagles without the "L". Of course, by extension, "L" is simply an octave above "E", so it could also be EAdGbL. That would be a good name for a hybrid band with the dOO bEES!
I just emailed Don Henley to tell him
Jethro tull wrote that chord progression first
Rick: *plays b minor...*
The Eagles: 👀...
The only thing Rick should have done differently at the onset of his musical career would have been to figure out time travel so he could fast forward a few decades and learn from his own YT channel
In all seriousness, thanks for everything Rick!! It is never lost on me that you do all this for free. Love from Oklahoma
Learning from yourself draws a big fine if the Time Police catch you!
Uh, not exactly (for free, that is).
O.o
@@siulumlion A fine?? Bro if you inhabit the same space as your alternate self, the universe implodes. You know this is true!
All the Marshall stacks & expensive guitars behind Rick makes you think he must be independently wealthy to be able to do these excellent videos for free.
At 5 yrs old, my first guitar teacher was my father. At 15 yrs onward, my teachers were band mates and recordings. Now my teacher is Rick Beato. I've thanked all my beloved teachers many times but this is a special thank you to Rick for volunteering to be that guy.
Great lesson by a great teacher👌🏻
1- ( 0:39 ) Spread Triads alternating Major And Minor
2- ( 4:31 ) Hybrid Picking
3- ( 7:20) Going from Sweet Picking to Alternate Picking
❤️
Who needs a teacher for theory when you can just binge Rick Beato videos
Truth.
Binging Beato
@@bebop425 this needs more publicity
As a truck driver I have a lot more time to listen to Rick than I have to play guitar, but I can talk theory with highly trained musicians.
As soon as my son is old enough to hold a guitar he’ll be watching all these videos haha
Your guitar teacher didn’t teach this because he was not Rick Beato. He had no idea.
Yeah, effectively switching between sweep picking and alternate picking is definitely an issue for many when they first start on the guitar
Lmao underrated comment
haha
You can do it as a beginner.... if you understand it and if you do it really really slow
Wait, are you saying they don't? I find myself practicing stuff like it relatively often, though not combining them.
I don’t even play an instrument but I watch every video of yours because you make sense of music where before music was a complete mystery to me. I can see why you have such a huge and growing fan base.
Thank you🙏🏻
Too true with the sweep picking criticisms. When you hear somebody start sweeping, you usually immediately think, "Ok, this is now a sweep picking section" rather than it just being, like, *a* sweep just for flavor.
Agreed. Bernth (great youtuber guitarist) talks about how WHATEVER right hand picking technique you are using, you should be able to smoothly and comfortably transition from one to another. It's not good practice to have to think "okay now I set my wrist this way for sweeps", this is likely the reason why certain solo sections sound like an example of a technique rather than an interesting musical phrase with many different techniques being used.
Saligia by origin. You can’t have an opinion, yet :)
At my age right now and our current situation, learning all you want and can on guitar has never been more important. It's such a capable instrument!
I heard flavors of John Mayer, Buckethead, and Brent Hinds in one 10 minute video. Awesome.
What would their all-star supergroup be called? Swollen Jones & the Bucket Brigade? Deep Vein Thrombosymphony? Horq? I like “Horq”. Let’s petition to make it happen.
Love me some Dirty B. Hinds.
Hey Rick. Would love to see you interview Justin Lee Schultz about how he's managed to learn so much so fast on guitar and keys.
Totally agreee
Well... You know how to get to the Carnegie Hall... Don't you?
Practice!!
@@sananlatifi8384 Yes. Ask for directions. ;-)
@@noisyneil check the edit. Lol
@@sananlatifi8384an oldie but a goodie!!! :-)
This came at exactly the right time. Perfect.
We’re so lucky to have you, Rick!
These seem to be advanced concepts for beginners
My first thought exactly I’ve been playing along time and have no idea what he’s talking about lmao ... I wanna buy the book but not sure I’m smart enough to get something from it
Ive only been playing for a year and i understood everything. You gotta learn your theory first. People just learn songs n thats cool but that does nothing for you as far as understanding what u are playing and why it sounds good. Im not super good and i dont know many songs but my theory knowledge has come a long way in just a year.
@@ElvisPereira-ex9dy I’m just curious if I’ll get the book and be like ... I need someone to teach me this cause this looks like Chinese to me haha
Yesterday I watched Wolfgang Van Halen on Howard Stern. He said Ed is the world's worst guitar teacher. "Dad, teach me to play guitar."
"Okay, just do this." *Proceeds to be Edward Van Halen*
@@christopherhickman3579 his book is amazing but very advance stuffs. and yes I would need a teacher to guide me with this book.
For anyone that hasn’t purchased it, The Beato Book is incredible. He’s not peddling some 80’s VHS learn-by-watching people shred content.
What’s in it? I hear him talk about it and since I’m just starting to play guitar I thought it would be too advance for me
I'm a piano player. Would it be worth buying for me or is it just guitar oriented?
I can confirm. I also bought it and it's amazing. Really clear and complete info.
@@jacklandy5704 The music theory in it is valuable for all musicians.
The book and the videos go hand in hand very well....the book can be hard to make out without the videos.
Rick Beato's channel is like a goldmine of inspiration for people who have seriously studied music in the past but maybe stopped/took a break. It's like once you know foundational stuff (reading/arranging/mixing/playing music) his videos are outrageously inspiring. Thanks Rick!
Feel the sound and become one with your guitar without using drugs. Close your eyes and find the sound you want. Every day.
I’m so conflicted whether or not to like haha
Been playing for 30 years and because I self-taught, none of this is in my repertoire. Have basic music theory through doing grade 5 piano up to age 13 but never got into anything more in depth. Happy to remain a mediocre yet competent rhythm guitarist who admires those with far greater technique than me! Let them lead, I'll hold it together :)
Rick's videos are great to watch and shake my head in admiration at. I suppose that makes me a lazy musician but life gets in the way...
This is great Rick! I love hearing your perspective on all of these concepts.
Hybrid picking is so hard for me because I draw and my hand is used to using the first three fingers to do everything in sync. I can finger pick okay, but once I hold a pick, my middle finger naturally tries to cushion my index finger, making it impossible to get them out of sync.
It's a small world!
@@sevenbark It is!!!!
Chop off middle index finger, tape pick to thumb.
Just some guy, I watch you some times.
Time to quit drawing bro, shreds for life
All I can say is thank you Rick for all the love in your lessons.
It shows and I appreciate all of effort to help us all.
Rick, you really are a remarkably talented guy. I’m not even a guitar player, but I watched this whole video. I usually find that I learn more from videos, but especially yours because you convey your knowledge with such enthusiasm. If I ever learn how to play the guitar it’s because of Rick Beato. Keep up the great work, brother!
He works it up from easy to blow your mind how just knowing your musical theory can make life so much easier
I love these sorts of videos, I always pick up my guitar and write something new- it feels like cheating to have Rick here on my phone giving me all this wisdom, I don’t read music but just the way he teaches is amazing- everybody can get something out of it- as soon as I can I’m buying the beato book
What a fantastic video! I really appreciate seeing Rick's widespread mastery reflecting on things that would have helped foster his mastery even quicker. It always feels like I'm learning from the best of the best on his channel.
Your channel has to be one of the most valuable on the Internet. It seems like the production and content always gives me useful information and it's entertaining.
More on these kind of lessons and diagram explanations. Really helped me. Made my day. Thanks man
Just learning about doing spread triad arpeggios and hybrid picking so I appreciate this lesson alot. Thank you for posting it.
This is exactly what I wanted to find today for improving my guitar playing and it just showed up on my feed. Thank you!
Thanks so much for taking the time to make these videos! The info you share is priceless!!
Been playing guitar 30 years and always have played by ear, same with piano. These lessons are really helpful and are opening my and eyes and ears to new things. You're the man Rick!
Thank you Rick for your love of music and your lust to share music with others. What you are doing is precious. I once had a teacher (for a different instrument) who would only accept what I could afford. I learned from this and am till this day willing to teach people purely for the art/joy not for monetary gain. (It helps that I have a full-time job!!)
As someone who has played guitar for over 13 years, these lessons still help. No matter how long you've been playing, no matter how good you are, you can always learn more. Cheers!
Great video Rick! I've been playing on more projects the last couple of years and actually have started practicing again. Having no formal music theory training has been a hurdle for me but the way you do your videos not only makes it understandable to someone like me but gives me great practice exercises as well. Thanks!
I've been playing for years and this went right over my head 😂
Such a great lesson. I hope budding guitarists take your channel to heart! Thank you!
GREAT STUFF as usual Rick. Always looking forward to your next video
Rick, you are the Odysseus/Ulysses of music education: you know music is an eternal journey. There is always more to learn, more to teach, and that music is a lifelong pursuit. Thank you for the Beato Book. I learn and relearn new stuff from every video!!! Keep Rockin’ ✌️
This video convinced me to buy the bundle, Rick. Love your channel tremendously. Thank you!!
I don't play the guitar. I'm just here to hear Rick play and explain things. 👍👍
As Beck, Gilmour, and Buckingham are my main influences as a player, I have not used a pick in over 20 years. As soon as I dropped the pick my playing improved exponentially once I got my right hand technique down.
Great segment Rick! That sweep to alternate picking is a trick for sure to master. Thanks for all the learnings!
Great video Rick! Thanks! Keep them conning!!
Thank you very much for bringing up these musical concepts & ideas. I could not agree more. I have been showing my students similar concepts and techniques over the last few months. I find your lessons very inspirational. I will be showing them exactly what you did today, and sending them the link to this video. Thanks again.
Thank you! Watching and learning as always!
A thing that helps with hybrid picking is playing the classical guitar! Brings it to the next level!
I wish I HAD a teacher back in the day. You tend to leave out things when you learn on your own. Well, at least I did. STILL don't know the neck as good as I feel I should. I'm workin' on it.
Amazing Rick, as a 15 year old, to me you are a true inspiration and to my generation and we are fortunate to have you 🤘 A suggestion for a 'what makes this song great' Golden Country by Reo Speedwagon
Rick Beato is way older than 15
@@yebro4636 Didn't realise Sherlock was on UA-cam
Just another great lesson video from Rick! Thanks, Rick!
Been playing 32 years know my neck, notes, chords, theory, and just learned something new again.
Reasons like this I love playing guitar.
Your awesome Rick
Sir... this is exactly what I needed. I wish I could give u a hug. Thank you. U seriously made my day
Thanks for all your tips and wisdom Rick!
Rick is almost at 2M subs! Good for you Rick. Well deserved sir!
What a great video Rick, thanks again for all you do for us!! Ive been playing the drums for 15+ years now but a year ago i decided to learn the guitar.
Ive been studying theory deeply and have come a long way in just a year and ive been considering buying your book since i know it will sky rocket my theory knowledge even further (solely judging from the table of contents). After this video and that lesson on spread triads i was sold. Thats it, i just bought it. Cant wait to dig in!! Got the Book Bundle since i saw there was a sale going on!! What a steal man, i feel blessed!! Thank you so much Rick, you are the man!! 🤘🏻💯🎶👊🏻
You made a great choice of buying it! 😊🙏
Rick, thank you for your patience and thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills with us. 🙏🎸😎🤘🎶
Such a precious lesson Rick! More practical knowledge in these 10 minutes than ever, you're so good at teaching. 😉👍🏻🎸🔝👍🏻 Thanks for taking the time to create all these contents, teaching and entertaining with such knowledge and passion. All for free! All for us. ❤️ Simply put, to me the world is a better place since I found your channel.
Ever since I discovered Rick's channel a couple years ago I have improved my musical understanding and guitar playing an insane amount
Such a high quality and useful video as always, thanks Rick :)
Rick, thank you for your invaluable musical contributions. You truly are a very gifted musician and tutor. I’m a advanced player and am always up to discovering something new with what you have to offer. In this new world digital order, I personally consider myself “very” fortunate to access to someone like yourself. Respect!! Regards Dale.
Dude I absolutely love spread triads great little ideas to either riff with or include and use to tie solos. Thanks Rick!
That last exercise sounds like traditional music from Puerto Rico with the “cuatro”. Arpeggios followed by scales are very common.
Dicelo Delfín...y dile que hay otro mundo musical en Cuba,Puerto Rico etc..
My 8 month old knows only COVID world. She hasn’t seen many people but your videos are the only thing I let her watch on a screen. You’ve become known around the house as Uncle Rick and she’s MESMERIZED by the music. THANK YOU
Great video as usual. Love these open triads ideas. Sweep+ alternate picking ideas are great as well!🔥 Thank You Rick!
Loved this video. Going to have to watch several more times, so I can implement this into my playing. Fantastic way to get out of the rut or away from A plateau.
Rick my man, I watched this lesson again and appreciated it even more!. You are, without a doubt, the BEST guitar teacher, and informed musician on the web! Hands down.!!
and that’s Not even considering the knowledge of the recording gear. Wow! Your children are sooooo lucky. 😀🤗✌️
Love these exercises. Thanks Rick!
Brilliant thanks Rick - just tried spread triads and hybrid picking combined for the first time in my morning practiced and I can see this its going to be really useful!
Super cool techniques. Thanks Rick. Love it.
Great exercises in F and Fm - will keep doing these to pick up speed. So musical, as are the the triads developed out of Bm. Heck, this is good stuff, thank you Rick.
Thanks Rick! you're videos are awesome man !
Great stuff Rick! Going to add this too my practice routine ASAP!
Thanks for another great video Rick. I have some work to do! By the way, I picked up your book and am amazed at the wealth of knowledge contained within. A great reference tool that I’m finding both very useful and overwhelming. As a self taught player I’m finding that I learned backwards in some regards and your books and videos have helped me to work out my pentatonic rut that I’ve been in for too long.
Have watched a lot of your stuff Rick. Have seen several good lessons on other tricks and practice basics, but these three in particular seem like keys to the hidden treasure. Will be given these my attention for a while going forward. Thx!
Thanks Rick. I've been playing seriously for six months and this made sense, particularly the triads, which I've been working on recently. I'd been putting off doing much with hybrid picking but now it's firmly on my list to include in improving my technique. Anyone who doesn't already have the Beato Book, should get it IMHO. Cheers.
That initial 5 minutes learnt more than anybody could ever teach me, Rick unleashes the doors to creativity!! Love from India!!
I am not a musician but I love my guitar and Rick's teachings!!
WOW! That sounds GREAT all together!
Rick the fretboard diagram was so clutch in being able to finally comprehensively understand what your spread triads have been all about. 👍
Super helpful, going to start practicing these. Thanks, Rick!
Very good tips. Thanks, Rick!
Great content, I'm addicted and have the book plus ear training. Crazy amount of info to absorb.
A lot of guitar teachers neglect to teach about using the thumb on the fret hand which I find very useful
Love your channel to say your content is great is an understatement your personality keeps me watching
Thanks man your videos helps us a lot.💯💯
That first technique is good for horn players too. Plus it gives me ideas when I'm arranging music.
Great advice, i've been playing for 15 years and wish I would've started hybrid picking or at least seen it earlier! One thing I would add, is to push yourself out of the comfort zone much more....!! It is amazing how your ability can evolve when you practice anything and everything!!
The depth and diversity of your instructional and analytical videos is a continual source of thought-provoking and helpful insights into exploring and better understanding the musical soundscape. Brill Bro Beato 😀!
Thank you:)
Great lesson with really practical advice. Some years ago, I changed my approach from "one technique to rule them all" to "the best technique for that type of passage." This is something that I concluded by watching virtuoso violinists play. They have a multitude of different techniques, each used to best perform a particular musical or technically demanding passage. I think they got it right. Thanks
Thanks for the concept of using the interlocked spread triads. Very nice way to introduce useful variation into arpeggio practice.
My best lesson was from Ritchie Blackmore. I stood right under him, arms length, as he did a show in Portland in '72. I was already progressing as a pentatonic blues style player... thumb wrapped around the neck a la Jimi Hendrix. I saw Ritchie effortlessly switch back and forth from a thumb wrapped position to a behind the neck position (classical) in his amazing solos. I realized there was an entire world of playing I didn't remotely understand. Went home and started over.
Thanks Rick, I've been playing guitar/ music for 24 years and I still don't know any of this stuff you teach. I was a learn by ear with no internet self taught guy lol. Love everything your doing and hope to start applying your teachings to my craft.
I like the first exercise. I get a knot in the head even thinking about it but I think I will push through, with the help of the B book
The first two minutes and sixteen seconds of this are already more interesting and informative than 80% of guitar lessons I've had in my life. Well done again sir.
The part @2:38 reminds me of ELO's "Livin' Thing' where Jeff starts at C to Am, a clever drop to A#, drop _again_ to Fm, then *_drop again_* to Em.....really cool stuff.
Rick you are an amazing musician, thank you 👍
Great video - concise and informative. I was lost on the first tip because of my lack of experience in music theory but there was still a great tool to practice in the sweep -> alternate picking. Thx
Great tips Rick, tnx. Adding the 2nd on the spread triad sounds nice. Really enjoyed your other video too about your music past... I should have majored in music.
This is SUPER helpful! Thanks Rick!!
That was gold, Rick! Gold! Thank you! 🙏 😎
Really Really Great Lesson Rick , spot on. thank you.
Really like the last sweep/ alternate picking bit at the end, will be practicing later 👌
