The Story of My Musical Background - Rick Beato Everything Music
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2016
- I did this episode because people are always asking me about my musical background I guess because I post on a pretty diverse set of topics. I tell the story of my musical training and inspiration. I'm sorry if I left anyone out. It was only because I had to edit it down. Let me know if you have any more questions or topics that you want me to cover. I have more producer/mixer videos and filmscoring videos coming out this week. Thanks for watching!! Rick

Meeting a person like you, even if only thru the net, makes life worth living for. The warmth and love that you share thru your music lessons makes one look forward to life itself, and all the wonderful music it has to offer. Music and the guitar has been my passion and my very reason of life since about the last 30 years. I am 52 now. I am from Assam,India. I had always dreamed about learning and playing jazz music, but could never afford to go somewhere and take a course. There is no jazz teaching institute in my part of the country. I just have a few books, and a few lessons from youtube. I often visit the Berklee college site and just scroll around gazing at the photographs, and wishing that if there is a next life, i pray i can learn the guitar, and music there. Been just a few days since i came across your videos. And today i watched this one,and it was like my dream life since childhood till now, portrayed by your life. I dunno if im making sense. It doesnt matter. Thanks for everything.
Aniruddha Baruah That is so nice to hear. Thank you! Feel free to email me so I can hear more about your guitar study rickbeato1@gmail.com. Your story is the reason I'm doing these videos. Best, Rick
I wholeheartedly agree!!
don't wait for the next life my friend, it may not come. ")
Damn
Hey I hope things have gone well for you over the past 4 years. Please give us an update if you ever read this!
Besides being a gifted musician and instructor, you're a great storyteller. That's why this channel works so well. Kudos!
You're awesome
Couldn't agree more.
you're awesome
Thank U from Madrid, Spain. You channel and your persona is inspiring me back into music. I was a profesional flamenco and jazz flute player for about 7 years, which I loved. In the middle of it I got hook to drugs, and soon a disaster came. As many other I was born again which helped me with everything, but I left the music scene. The last 8 years its been a rebuilding process, I´m now married and have a beautiful daughter. Somehow, because of the pain I left music aside and founded hard to love it again. Because of my latest jobs I´m getting into composition and orchestration and the love is slowly coming back. Somehow, your love for pouring back what you learned (and that you love both jazz and classical) is helping me immensely. Muchas muchas gracias... bless you brother and keep it up.. it is helping me in deeper ways
This dude is one of the most refreshing, compelling voices on this reached platform. Be grateful people. He's telling you how it is.
Man, your statement about uploading your brain for us and your kids gave me chills! Thank you, much love and respect.
In the name of You Tube, U2 and you, too. Amen
Mr.Beato, I just wanted to say that I'm a 39 year old, former professional musician who hasn't picked up a musical instrument in over three years. I still had the desire to play, but just not the situation, and I came across your videos a few weeks ago. You have reinforced my love of music and my desire to write and record. Thanks to your videos, I have a new found love and excitement for music that I haven't had since I was probably 22 and touring the country. I really appreciate that and just wanted to formally thank you. God speed.
Thanks Rick,
The world needs more people like you who share their lives selflessly.
May it come back to you in many pleasant ways.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, stories, and love of music with us. Bless you.
Just finished watching 2 of your excellent videos. I’m 71 and have been interested and played over the years, and found your story very inspiring ( see what you can do to an old timer ). I wished you had been around with these instructional videos back then. Just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to share your talents. I will keep watching and learning. ( I hope ). They say there is only 2 things you can improve on as you age, art and music. Because of your videos I’ll keep plunking.
I’m 76. Years old and I never get tired listening to you ,I love music and love listening to artists that are so knowledgeable
The videos you do On Boston are incredible Just can’t get enough! Keep doing it .
So Interesting he didn’t live a life of fame but he has made significant contributions to the music industry on so many levels as a teacher a producer a hit writer. He replicates Pat Metheny with such ease, very few people on the planet can do that this is top notch musicianship .I relate to his love for Jazz, classical as well as classic Rock .
Great stuff!
Rick, I've watched this three and a half years after you made it. I've watched many of your videos in recent months, since I first discovered your channel last year (2019). It's both a privilege and a pleasure to listen to you "upload" your knowledge and experience to the UA-cam ecosphere. Thank you for everything you are giving back to the world through this amazing channel.
Excellente!!!! Thank you for your devotion. You are our go to for inspiration and knowledge.
Hi Rick. Steve Brown here.(not yours, but I love it). I started playing clarinet in 6th grade then moved onto Bass. learned Theory at Tulane in New Orleans. Where I also picked up tenor sax. It's funny cuz the Brandenburg concertos always got me going also. Thank you for reminding me how much I love music and how much I actually remember. I didn't realize it was as much as I thought. PLEASE Keep it going. Millions of people appreciate what you do for us. Not many people can truly lay claim to that.
Comments written here can do no justice to the profundity of inspiration and encouragement received by us/me. I too am 54 and love passing on what I have been given(so I can identify with you). I've been surrounded by musicians all my life (and have 5 musical children), I've never considered myself to be a musician, but count myself fortunate to be allowed to mingle with them. I do not have the capacities necessary to do much more than 'adequate' , but I try. Your videos help to take the scariness out of the subject and inspire to enjoy whatever level we might be able to achieve. Thank you.
Just amazing. I grew up on the West Coast four years ahead of you, where music education was essentially ignored. After hacking on a guitar for forty years, I still haven't improved one bit! Thanks for sharing your passion with us. If my children ended up with a career like yours, I would be ecstatic. Do what you love for a living and it never seems like work.
What a wonderful world we would live in if more people were giving like you. Give and you shall receive/Thank you for the inspiration
Thanks for the inspiration sir Rick! You have a very beautiful mind and heart. God bless you more!
Thank you for your existence and attitude, Rick!
My sincere thanks from Pernambuco, Brazil.
Thanks for all that you do. As someone who defied all the odds & has success in the music business, you give back & share your knowledge & experience for all & at no expense. You are truly a good person & there are not that many in this business. Once again THANKS!
Any appreciation for the tutorials that you make would be an understatement.
I have never had a teacher in my life. I always am grateful to people like you who share their knowledge with the world.
You are doing a great service to musicians with your tutorials.
Thank you. :)
Same here. Probably more valuable knowledge n insight which i didn't get yet \m/
ya......thank u rick.....ur knowledge is amazing.......
Inspiring story
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and your Experience
You made me go back to music again
As a teenager that's becoming highly interested in learning jazz and classical music, I'm having trouble finding resources to learn about the gap between beginners and advanced music theory. I understand basic melody and harmony, however I don't know how to progress to chord voicings and understanding usage of specific chord tones in a scale, for example. Videos about that would be very helpful, in my opinion. Also I wanted to say, your channel is very informative and interesting, and knowing about your history certainly is motivating me to inmerse myself in the musical world.
You re a nice person, R. Beato. Thanks for sharing this story with us.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, experience and love of music.
why 13 people would "dislike "this video is beyond me ....I swear the negativity in this world is gonna kill us all
I can understand criticism of someones playing etc. etc. but this isn't that this man is just telling his life story as a musician, and he is humble and kind enough to share what all he has to offer to you tubers ....I swear I jus can't with people anymore .....
dude, chill out, it's just a button. Many people misclick too..
One probably misclicked, the other dozen are idiots who aren’t worth stressing yourself over. Rock on!
Sadly, many people suck. They probably think, in their pea-sized brain, "He's just talking about himself, how boring." I love Rick and his videos. I don't play any instruments but love music. I also couldn't believe 31 people would dislike this or any of Rick's videos.
It might just be that this type of video doesn't suit their interests. I can only guess that they are not interested in music.
You are a great man Rick. Thanks for sharing your story and knowledge.
Dude. You are a rare gem. Thank you for all that you do. I've learned so much from you.
Thanks for sharing your story, Rick! Loved hearing about how you were inspired to make the channel. You are bar none on the musical quality of your videos.. Looking forward to more, as always. Keep up the great work. -Z
Awesome journey Rick. Thank you for your generosity.
Rick..thank you for sharing your incredible journey.....your generous spirit and passion for music and gratitude of being "fortunate" to have family and mentors on your path to this moment in time of giving back to all of us in the musical family..
is much appreciated.peace..Michael...another "fortunate" being...
Thanks a lot Rick!!! It's a huge service you are doing!! I'm from Sri Lanka and there's no place here to learn western music the way it's taught in the US.. I'm learning a lot from your videos... thank you so much!! May God Bless You!!
Your infectious enthusiasm keeps me coming back. Nice to know the roots of that, and listen to your story.
Very nice the part you talked about having learned to play the Jazz album songs to please your father. I can tell you choked a little bit. You're a good man
Very impressive, humble and obviously extremely talented!!
Sometimes one lifetime is not enough. Thank you for sharing. I will probably never be good at any musical instrument army age, but I hang onto every word you and every knowledgeable person talks about music, notes, scales, circles, of thirds, augmented 5ths or whatever. I just wish that I had found out about this stuff decades ago....Thanks again
ALL of us appreciate all that you do Rick,,,,,love the " What makes this song great "....and we all can tell you are one hell of musician
Rick I can't tell you how important your channel is becoming for me. I'm 50 next year and determined to learn to improvise properly after a lifetime of classical and blues playing. Your information is the best on the web. Thanks so much and keep making your videos. BTW I'm also a graphics professional and completely agree with your comments on Apple!
I’ve been watching Rick for 2+ years and started watching his older videos and love them. The channel has obviously evolved but this early stuff is golden.
Rick you are an ambassador of music. Thank you for your services!
Thank you Rick for an amazing insight. we follow your channel from Egypt.
This is my favorite channel. You have helped me connect the musical dots. thank you
I wish you strength and optimism.
For me, it is always a challenge to reconcile the depth and inspiration of videos such as Rick's - which are musical, cultural, foklorical, human - with feelings of disconnection, inactivity, loneliness and lethargy which can be brought on by hours of screen staring and internet use - which are, really, a rapid and stark departure from the millennia of past human behaviour.
I wish you strength and optimism!
Great video I reall enjoyed it, I am genuinely staggered by you and your musical abilities, well done.
I wrote one time , and repeat again , THANK YOU Mr. BEATO , you open my mind and gave me a lot of joy and I'm studying again so much. I'm braziilan ,62 years old , living in France since 1991. I tried several times the Visa to study at Berklee , they never gave me, 'cause, they knew I was going to stay in USA, was my dream. But, "life is what happens to us when we're busing making plains ", as said Lenno in a song to Sean, so... I'm a lazy guitariste, but you made me come back to reality and STUDY again , and believe in myself again ,also! Really, my thanks to you , and it comes from my hear! Soon I will send you some little demos, playing, and also singing , 'cause I''m a unknowed composer , from the 70's until today.God Bless You and your family! You're the friend that every guitar player need to be happy and keep going this wonderful instrument .
Thanks for posting this insight Rick, great to hear your background story.
Thanks Rick for sharing your very interesting story and your knowledge with this community. Best regards, Max
Thanks Max!
Thank you Rick i truly love everything about you, your skills and personality, I follow you and bought your courses. I also have music projects coming up, I normally work alone but if I’d work with someone it would be with exactly you. Keep doing what you do, simply awesome thanks for sharing
I just discovered your videos this week. What you're doing is wonderful and thank you for sharing so much of your knowledge.
I've been playing keyboards for many years. I've already picked up so much from your videos and will continue to do so.
I very much appreciate your curiosity, soulfulness, enthusiasm, and honesty. Teaching those qualities is more important than the Hungarian gypsy minor scale, poly-chords, and all the other "hip" stuff. BTW, I direct a Jazz school in Chicago (The Bloom School of Jazz), founded in 1975. Keep giving...you' re doing great. If you want to correspond go to my the website.
Everything happens for a reason. You obviously happened for a reason!
Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for sharing your insights and your musical background with us on UA-cam, you are a true music virtuoso who is passionate to teach and share as well!!!
Oh, WOW, I loved this video...thank you for all the background information...you are one truly amazing man!!!! I started out playing the violin (a Suzuki!) in 1978 and could play things by ear right off the bat...then taught myself how to sing...I told myself that if I can 'sing' it, I can 'play' it (on the violin)...but now I'm a much better singer than violinist...and, like you, I am a huge fan of jazz and classical music!!!!! 💗💗💗
Another great and inspiring vid. Rick. Your humility and respect for others seems to be a constant theme that always adds value and enhances accessibility to your public efforts. Thank You!
Hi Ric, Thank you for telling us the background to your music life, albeit I imagine squeezed into a walnut shell, as it adds credence to your presentations and classes.
Also thanks for the myriad of topics you cover with both the practical and theoretical knowledge that surfaces in each video in the series.
Kind regards from down under
Peter
+Alchemetica Thanks so much Peter!
Thank you Rick, Your storytelling is only second to your musicianship. I was in high school in the late 70s and your right about what a great time it was for rock guitar bands. What a glorious era
I Just watched this video and now I NEED to hear your friend's solos! The turkish keyboardist! Seriously, I'm dying of curiosity here, is there any way you could upload those recordings anywhere PLEASE????
Please :(
Brilliant story. You're so lucky to have taken the paths you have taken through life. I'm so glad I stumbled across your channel.
Thank you Rick. What a super experience and background. I like how your eyes shine when you are breaking down a great piece of music.
truly awesome and inspiring. you are very fortunate, thanks for the videos and please keep making them
Feel the heart in your smile, person and your music. Not a musician but a now devotee'd follower of your life enrichment music channel; a real gift to us all (!) , esp. as you are playing and de-construting the soundtrack of my youth. Brooks in Fiji. :)
Thank you for your videos and lessons. Very appreciated. Your gentle, kind personality shines through.
Loved listening to your past. I appreciate every one of your rifts of all classics.
Wish My hands wern't so fat and I could play.
Remember my Granddad would play the uke for me, and I sang. I have a yuke, but cant even tune it.
So I use spoons
Rick Beato, you'd be a great dinner guest. I'm from Rochester, New York. Brighton H.S. I'm a huge Joe Pass fan. I'm exploring you're vids. You're passing on a lot of great stuff I can relate to.
Hey Rick, great to see you here! I had the privilege of studying with you a little at Ithaca college back in 87-88. Also got to hear you play in trios & quartets with Steve Brown on drums. You were incredible! I was so intimidated by you but I loved to be around you & hear you play & talk (sometimes at the same time) about music. That was first I heard about Schoenberg & many others...from you. I thought you were the coolest...still do.
jon cohen Thanks Jon! Great to hear from you!
Well, Rick, despite the generally late-20th-Century Western modern music focus of many of your videos, please NEVER hesitate to cite classical composers, jazz musicians, musicians of any genre or era, whenever it's relevant for you, whenever you see a connection or influence or chord progression which relates to the song in hand.
Thanks, Rick... this answers a lot of my questions. You seem to have the experience for 10 people. Now I know why.
Rick, I'd love to hear you analyze some Modern Jazz, not just Rock. My first exposure was to SpyroGyra Incognito...and from there that grew into Jean Luc Ponty, Weather Report, etc...(Thanks to WLAV "Sunday Morning Jazz Brunch, and WBLV.) My cousin played in Shadowfax...from there I grew into Rock and Country Rock. Thanks for doing what you do and being a straight-up lover of all things music, and a breath of fresh air in this modern music world we have today...
It'd be fun to have you analyze some Gary Numan, too. I'vw gained an appreciation as I've aged for things I'd blown off before...
These reminisces about your father a really rather beautiful. What a gift it is to have good father… And to be one. Be well and thank you for all you do.
Thanks Richardo!
You have the prefect background to be a producer! You can draw from first hand knowledge and experience on so many levels-Great channel -keep it up Rick!
Rick, I’m 80 and a retired Xerox guy who lived and worked in Rochester. I now live in Cummming, GA Thank you for sharing your amazing background and for sparking my interest in Jazz - John Coletrain “ My Favorite Things” and “A Love Supreme” I recently discovered your channel . Thank you for your humble wisdom and the hours I’ve enjoyed listening to your stories.
Amazing ! Thank you Rick for your honored contribution to the music community all over the world :)
Rick, I scrolled and scrolled to see if there was an earlier comment on this anachronism and could not find one. When you mention your dad seeing Charlie Christian, it sounds as if you're saying it was at the bar he worked at starting in the late 40s. Charlie Christian died in 1942. Your dad must have seen him with Benny Goodman on a tour date in Rochester back in the early 40s. Your personal stories are some of my favorites among your videos. Keep 'em coming.
Since you mention violin, what makes this song great? Kansas would be nice to hear from your perspective.
Nice story. A lot of great musicians came out of Rochester - Lou Gramm, Steve Gadd, Chuck Mangione to name a few.
Love that you still beam about all these wonderful memories as you talk about them. So glad you recorded this. It makes me very happy!
Thank you for all your videos Rick. I have picked up the bass at 59 Years old , right from the ground up. You inspire me to continue in my journey to learn more about bass and music in general. your work with your son is fantastic regarding his perfect pitch. You are very lucky to have such a vast experience with music.
(Today is March 6, 2020.) I discovered this channel about 18 months while living in Santiago, Chile. Rick's stories and teacings - not to mention his playing - remain consistent, thought-provoking and some of the highest quality content I have ever come across. Thank you, Rick, for taking the (incredible amount of) time to share and to teach.
You are like the most interesting person that i've ever seen. Thank you Rick, u are awesome.
So, so, so inspiring. I started playing music at 14 and then for several reason I stopped for many years. Thanks to you I'm back into that world. Starting from scratch has never felt this great. Thank you, Rick!
Rick, thank you for the work you're doing, sharing your knowledge and wisdom. It's a pleasure watching your videos. Stay blessed.
Thank you for sharing your story. I’m in the Rochester area but am from Niagara Falls, NY. Been here since 89. I read music, played the flute as a kid in school, taught myself how to play some piano and later got a keyboard I play with. I LOVE music. I’ve a 27 yr. old nephew in the Buffalo area who started guitar when he was 5 and picked up dad’s guitar and played around with it. Dad taught him a few chords and a couple years later he wanted lessons so they gave him lessons. In Jr. and Sr. High he played in the orchestra, upright bass and in the jazz ensemble his guitar. He also started giving guitar lessons when he was in 11th grade while still taking some of his own. He’s played with a band all through high school. When he went to Buff State he played a bit but was busy with school too. Nowadays he’s 27, his gal plays bass, and he plays with a couple bands all around Buffalo and even here in Rochester a few times. I learn more from you that means I can talk music and guitar with him. :) I have been enjoying your videos for a few months. Thank you!
this is the hq content that makes yt worth tuning in
Thanks for this educational videos. Wanna upload thousands of your ideas? Great! Will try to watch them all!
Well done Rick.....thanks for being humble.....fantastic musician....
I'm an absolute beginner to all of this.
Thank you so much for the time you spend preparing and performing the videos for everyone, Rick.
I appreciate it greatly.
Having neither the money nor time for proper education makes it a treasure hunt so to speak. Every little bit of quality helps greatly.
Thank you so much for all this sharing of your knowledge!
A fascinating story. I know I'm repeating what others on this post have said that you are a very interesting and intelligent man.
Ken, Toronto
I'm from a little island called Sri Lanka and I'm so grateful that you take your valuable time to do this for us. Most of your videos are beyond my ability but I keep reviewing and try to get the most i can from them. God bless you and your family.
You sir are such an inspiration! Every time I watch the videos of your journey....it inspires me to keep trying to better myself musically! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
Rick, I'm a 52y/o veteran of orchestration and composing and even I'm getting a lot out of your videos. You are a wonderful educator and your ear is second to none.
the reason for this channel is just the best possible
Just found you about a month ago as I began.revisting Steely Dan. Had years off piano lessons as kid and played keyboards in a band but have learned things I had no idea about from watching you. Thank you.
Just found this video. Thanks for laying it all out. What a wild ride! Your memory with music and your ear are awesome. Love your channel.
Hi Rick, Joe Davis here from Mojo music school, Mossel Bay, South Africa. Watch about everything you put out and love every bit of it. We are pretty cut off here in Africa so treasure your lessons. I am a Guitarist and Saxophonist as a performer. I teach, mainly Guitar everyday. You are my 'Prof' and inspire me to enjoy what I am doing. Many thanks man.
Good stuff Rick. I live my musical life vicariously through you :-)
You're a very generous person and what you're giving is so valuable! Thank you!
Thank you Rick for sharing your amazing story and the blessings you Bring by sharing your gifts and all the hard work you put in has paid off.
what an incredible story. I've found it very interesting. Im 66 playing guitar since i was 14 I dont read music and always wanted to improvise like wes. You've opened my eyes a lot. whose playing that incredible piano at the beginning of your vids.
My deepest respect for living, sharing and just owning that story of yours, Rick! I should say, I am rarely touched by words alone the way I am right now. Doesn't go far enough to tell you how thankful I am to you for the know-how, ideas and mindsets you share on the channel. Wish you and your children all the best
Rick, I found out about you about one month ago, because I wanted to see how compressors work, because I just started working with midi and ableton. Your video was by far the best and most detailed one. Then I saw all these suggestions for the videos in which you explain modes and they really brought together what my guitar teacher tought me 10 years ago. You put a lot of value on youtube and I recommend you to everybody who wants to learn about music theory. Thank you!
