I was completely lost after you said "Hi, everyone. I'm Rick Beato."
😂
Fantastic!
I bought the Beato Bundle ad its great, but im so lost lol
😂
Best comment. Legit. Same here. I'm really trying to learn music theory but I find it way too complex.
Im glad im getting to watch this before someone copyright claims the circle of fifths.
Lmao
Don Henley owns that.
I was totally kidding. But the fact he had to change the title shows how ridiculous things have gotten.
🤣
Someone tried to copyright a C chord so it's not really a joke...
In England I learned this:
Father Christmas Gave Dad An Electric Blanket
Blanket Exploded And Dad Got Charred Feet
Also in England I learned this: Father Charles Goes Down And Ends Battle. Say it backwards for flats: Battle Ends And Down Goes Charles' Father.
@@HALman1973 That's what I learned
Four Cows Got Drunk At Eddies Bar. "BEAD" "Greatest Common Factor"
I just learned "C G D A E F# C# G# D# A# E# B#" one way and "C F Bb Eb Ab Db Gb Cb Fb" the other.
in France I simply learned "fa do sol ré la mi si" for the sharps... as these notes were commonly put in that order for many reading exercises, I just had to repeat it some times, week after week, to never forget it.
As for the flats... backward, and that was it.
For the circle of fifths, I only had to replace my sharps at the good place (C at noon), and everything went naturally.
mnemonics are sometimes overrated (and I'm a big user of mnemonics, but I avoid using it for absolutely everything)
I love Rick. I have the Beato Book; but I’m possibly going to be in the minority here nevertheless. I just watched 4 videos explaining the cycle of 5ths and Rick’s was the most difficult to follow. Rick is brilliant, but I wish he was a more systematic teacher. I spend a lot of time with his videos; they are worth it and chock full of gems. But his lessons are best if you already understand most of the subject, then you can crack the gems out of each nut.
I agree with this 100%
Haha i just had the opposite experience! Brains are all different I guess. It’s kind of fun when you think about it like that
I hear you. It is so fluent to him that he barrels ahead a little too quickly at times, given he is presumably teaching people who don't already know the content. I imagine it helps to take notes and repeat the videos
WORD.
I think for me I like watching ricks video because typically before I even get to the 5 minute mark there’s already 3 or 4 things I need to work on
My wife gave it to my son 20 years ago. Now at age 66 you have caused me to desire to learn guitar. Will look for your videos on beginners. Thoroughly enjoy your "What makes this song great" vids.
@@JackFalltrades I purchased a new guitar. The maker is Art & Lutherie. 6 string acoustic w/ built in LED tuner and mic jack. Reddish brown cedar veneer. Now I need to find an instructor in the very very rural hills of Kentucky where I live.
@@JackFalltrades How far along are you with learning it? Do you have any background with other instruments or reading music? Or self taught? I know just the basics of 2 years piano in the 5th grade and play a little by ear.
@@curtesamoangelos5995 You could lessons with someone remote. Display them on a TV. I a a year younger than you two. So naturally more technically astute. lol.
@@JackFalltrades Thanks much!
Such an inspiring thread!
This is essential viewing imo
This video was the single most effective video on the Circle of Fifth's I've seen yet. I think I got it now actually. Let's see if that holds up by tomorrow morning LOL
@@AutoRiff I'm glad I'm not the only one with a head like a sieve!
@@JTCGuitar Both of you guys are giving me some hope .
Rick, when I first started watching your channel, I was just getting into music theory. I felt like everything was going over my head. Now, 1 year later, I can hold my own thanks to you. I've become a better song writer and music producer because of your teachings....so, thank you for all that you do. FYI...even though publishing companies and some artist give you a hard time....I completely love your "What makes this song great." It is such a great segment and I learn a lot from them.
I only started learning guitar 7 weeks ago and I'm documenting my entire learning journey on here so this was super motivational! Rick teaching me about the circle of 5ths... it doesn't get much better than this.
This video is one of the reasons I dropped my music major in college. Too complicated for me. Sing all day. Harmonize, improvise. But music theory is truly rocket science. I congratulate the people who can figure this stuff out.
@Kit Duguay I think it is greatly useful as well, but the learning curve is very steep, even for those of us with very musical ears. I think watching Beato is as good a way as any to learn such things.
Music theory is not rocket science. I’ve done rocket science, it’s easier than music theory
@@alangrill1172 😂😂🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤘
It's pretty hard. You have to count up all the way from 1 to 8 and you have to know the ABCs from A all the way to G. I gave up after the first 20 seconds.
Just another language...!?
Finally! Someone explained why I’m a mechanic and NOT a musician....
Thanks Rick. I have the Beato book and this video brings me back to my 1967 college days as a music major. I never completed my degree, but now in retirement I am endeavoring to excavate my lost knowledge of music theory. I have had a few truly excellent teachers in my life and you certainly have the gift!
This year I've been focusing on relearning guitar, but this time with a heavier focus on actually understanding the theory. Just learning the circle of fifths alone has helped me immensely. You don't have to be a music theory wizard, but learning just the fundamentals will do leaps and bounds for your progression. As always, thank you Rick for putting this info out there and helping to educate the masses.
Your work is highly appreciated Rick.
“Fat Cat Go Dead After Eating Burritos” is going to be the name of my first album.
It’s gonna be fusion, isn’t it?
It’ll have to be.
At least Rick said it and not Don Henley. Otherwise you’d get a copyright strike.
I was in a band called Fat Cat Got Dead After Eating Burritos
A lot of people show you the circle if fifths on a board like in your last tutorial, but don't show you how to apply it like this video does. It's awesome that you show it on both the piano and guitar as well! Great video!
Every Rick Beato video is like a master class. Even for the basics, it's like a 'master class of the basics.' His knowledge, experience, and communication is truly top notch.
I sincerely wish I understood what you were talking about
"Hunter MacDermut" has some EXCELLENT beginning lessons on this topic.
And "The Guitar Doctor" also has a fairly decent lesson as well.
Same
me too
I remember all this stuff from first-year theory as a music Major. What I realized very early on was that the tests were all built on this stuff, and as things got more advanced the questions were all based on this information, but you couldn't bring that into class when you were taking tests. My solution was to take a single page right out the circle of fifths and you know the dominants and all that stuff, so basically I memorized a cheat sheet, so when test time came I pull out of blank piece of paper and I'd write it all out and then I'd work from that. Now in a sense that might be considered a shortcut to memorization but on the other hand what it did was cement the information into my brain. Whatever you got to do, the thing is you enter all that stuff into your subconscious and then you forget it and just take your solo.
All my music theory from college shakes off it's dust when you speak. Rick you are full of surprises. You not only rock with the best of them, but you give a thorough analysis of what rock is from every angle. The ideal musician.
Thanks Rick. Very timely piece. Played self-taught acoustic for 54 years. Just started practicing scales and modes on electric. It's so new to me. I'm having a great time. Thanks to you, I'm gonna' be a rock star!
While I try to explain things in class, it always helps to have others explain the same thing I do. I know that I have students that watch your videos. This is going into a playlist of Circle of fifths, and the students will choose two videos to watch. This video seems to have more of a conversational aspect, and the on-screen pictures that pop up will be beneficial for my visual learners.
I learned the Circle of 5ths at the same time the Lion King was released, so everyone in band class went around belting out, "It's the Circle of FIIIIIIFTHS and it moves us aaaaall."
A bit on a tangent, but my joke-singing of that song was "It's the ciiircle of liiife, and every point on the circle is equally distant from the center!" You wouldn't think it would fit the meter, but I made it work.
This is great. With no music education available as a kid, I used to think people were just magically gifted. Fascinated with sound and music, what music theory I learned, I had to teach to myself. You make it all make sense. Thanks for being the music professor I never had!
This will forever be my favorite channel on UA-cam. I think it’s cool we both live in Georgia as well. You have really helped me understand music in such a short amount of time and I’m thankful for that.
Father Charles Goes Down And Ends Battle, Battle Ends And Down Goes Charles's Father!
Right! Easier to memorize one thing than two
This is what I always use, as well
You beat me to it
@@OpenWoodShop The best one and the cleverest!
Read an article in Guitar Player way back in the 80's by Rik Emmett of Triumph, and he used your two mnemonic devices as well. That's what sticks in my mind.
Thanks so much for all your work. Bringing real music and education to everyone.
You are the greatest guitar teacher there is. You were made for music. I found you after your video with synyster gates and I have loved your content ever since. Buying your book this week.
This is mind-blowing. Thank you so much. I play the guitar for over 20 years but never really studied theory. I can understand the circle of fifths and how each step relates to each other in the harmonic progression (say, I-ii-iii-IV-V-vi-viidim for major), but never saw an explanation of how it behaves in CADENCES. That's really amazing, less than 5 minutes of this video opened a whole new understanding for me (even for me to get some of my own songs haha). I can't thank you enough, Rick!
I live in Nashville and thought I knew some stuff because of Nashville “number system”. 🤣🤣🤣 I don’t know $hit. I was lost by 2:41 in this video. I just stick to 1 4 5 6m and every mixture thereof. It’s clear I need to learn a whole lot more. This guy is a genius. Just opened my whole world.
You have conquered the first step! Keep at it!
The number system is a good shortcut - real music theory fits on top of it and fills in gaps. And then there are diminished chords.
@@maclindavis8404 been hammering some of this stuff out on my guitar since watching this. Yes. I see you are absolutely right.
Get yourself a Bass Guitar. Bass players have to learn and understand theory, otherwise they will bore themselves to death when they practice. Rick Beato started off as a bass player, Adam Neely is a bass player. Bass players just keep the band together and get ignored by the audience because they tend to think that as a bass only has four strings it must be an easy instrument to play. Learning a second instrument will also help you to understand music better too, then a third, and before you know it you will be suffering from multi-instrumentalism, an ailment that has no cure and will stay with you for life. Get some keyboards too, they are laid out in a very logical way to understand music theory, I wish that I'd realized that twenty years before I actually did.
@@GeorgeSPAMTindle Cool and correct. I did take up the bass and also play the drums as a 12 year old. The 2 years of violin when I was about 9ish didn't hurt either. Rick Beato is a really good music resource.
The circle of 5ths is the single most important tool I use to learn songs on the fly. As a dueling piano player in an all-request format, we have to know hundreds of songs.
such a good video! I love how you covered things that are in the Beato book but explained it in more depth. There's a few concepts that I do struggle to wrap my head around that are covered in the Beato book so I hope you'll continue to make more videos like this that explain in more depth!
You really get into the movement of chord cadences in a great and very teachable way, Rick - I think this is one area you really really shine.
Fun fact: The plagal cadence is known as a "disappointing cadence" in Norwegain. And that's not even a joke!
Pretty much sums up my opinion of pop hahaha
You must be George Harrison to know where to use it
@@antonioblanco2217 haha well said
That wasn't disappointing at all(in Count Floyd voice)
The plagal cadence is known as the plagal cadence in Norwegian too. The diappointing cadence is V7 -> vi (for example G7 -> Am if we're in C major), and is known is English as a "deceptive cadence." It also has a few other flavours like V7 -> VI (G7 -> A) or in minor V7 -> bVI (G7 -> Ab).
The order of sharps and flats is the same order as the circle of fifths and fourths respectively. To me, that is much easier to remember than by a phrase. If you have the circle memorized, you are done. If not, you just need to know that the first sharp is F# and the first flat is Bb, and then you go up a fifth for sharps, or up a fourth for flats.
I was going to make the same comment. It seems strange to have a video talking about the importance of the circle of fifths but then provide mnemonics for key signature sharps/flats when they are exactly in the order of the circle of fifths.
I just remember the first two, and then it's easy to figure out the rest. Going through the sharps, or through the keys from flat to sharp, you have F and C, and then you alternate between the two going up a letter each time, one up from F is G, one up from C is D, one up from G is (loop around) A, etc. Same with the flats but you go down a letter instead of up. There's B and E, then one down from B is A, one down from E is D, etc. It's easier to visualize it if you play the piano, too.
Of course, but the phrase is to help remember the circle of fifths and fourths
Cats get drunk and eat butter flies. The s on the flies stands for sharp. Then walk backwards flattening each note for the left hand side. Duplicate the outer circle to the inner and rotate the inner counter clockwise by three hours for the minor keys.
What?
I went from knowing very littile about music theory and how it relates to music composition to knowing far more than I did in just 4 hours by just understanding the circle of fourths and fifths. This particular video took me to that next level; challenging me to actually putting it into practice. So thank you.
Hi Rick. As always; thank you for all you do. Many are thankful for you and what you do.
Rick, I know nothing about writing/playing music, but am nonetheless in awe of your expertise. Keep it up as you make me appreciate musicians and the art of music more and more.
I love watching competent people at work, it's oddly satisfying and inspiring
Circle of 5ths and 4ths really helped my playing and understanding. It's so interesting and rewarding to see them in action.
Love music, have played most of my life. Knew the circle if 5ths from my piano teacher in 82, but have never heard any of this other info. Thank you for taking the time to teach this ole country boy something new! Have a GrEAt DAy!!!
I can´t get enough of Rick.... Never!
Awesome as usual!
Cheers
Why wasn’t the internet around forty years ago! Beautifully explained and demystified Rick.🥶🙏🇬🇧🥶
Order of sharps: Frederick Charles Goes Down And Enters Battle - Order of flats: Battle Ends And Down Goes Charles Frederick. I remembered this from the book "How To Read Music" by Roger Evans, or it could have been from somewhere else. Enjoy.
Lol all music teachers have their own phrases to memorize... I can't remember what mine was, it was a while ago.
The sharps just go up in 5ths. F to C is a 5th, C to G is a 5th and so on. The flats are in 4ths. No need for these silly phrases :p
@@Anders2112 Silly they may be, though Mnemonic Devices/memory triggers have a place. Especially for beginners in Music.
ie: Every Athelete Deserves Greens, for standard Bass open tuning. Helps alot with erratic Children lol.
Slightly different but, like yours, a very good mnemonic.
Ascending: Father Charles Goes Down And Ends Battle.
Descending: Battle Ends And Down Goes Charles' Father.
Why isn’t there a mnemonic for a mnemonic?
This reminds me of something my Music Theory professor in college told me. I was a Computer Science major and was really only taking Music Theory to fill an elective, yet I picked it up very very quickly and got really good at it. She told me Music Theory at it's core is very mathematical and that the same skills that made me proficient in my major were also serving me in Music Theory. It's really beautiful :) I always learn something from your vids Rick. Thank you!
Took the time to watch again and take some notes - thank you for sharing your teaching ability around music theory. It takes some perseverance but worth it. I bought your book and started to study it and got stuck on the circle of fifths page so this video is a big help!
Man, I kept almost hearing "Let's do the time warp again!" Now I've gotta listen to that song...
You beat me to it I def heard the chord progression.
One thing I almost never see in discussions of the Circle of Fifths is that it's easy to see which chords are in a major or minor key by looking at the group of chords right around the root. For instance, C is surrounded by F (IV) and G (V) on the outer circle, and Dm (ii), Am (vi), and Em (iii) on the inner circle. Those are the chords in C major (minus the B dim; just have to memorize that one). Same method can be used for minor keys. Neat-o.
Thank you for pointing this out! I had noticed this for the outer circle (IV and V) but not for the minor ones. This gives more motivation to try to remember the circle of fifths visually.
After years of following this channel and learning so much theory, this video is just a good repetition and a quick test that I still remember. Learning theory changed my musical life in many, many ways.
I love it how you reveal and link in minutes the concepts that took me years of self teaching practice to get intuitive with. As a not very good bass player the layout intonation of the instrument lead me naturally to the circle, so to me it was like what’s the big deal about it? Getting polyphonic with the uke and guitar then takes it 1 level higher
Thank you for your lessons
"This stuff is not that complicated...." Me looking for a mallet to beat myself over the head with, REPEATEDLY. One day it will click I hope.
Just one step at a time champ. Memorize the circle and then come back and watch the rest of the video
@@sagetmaster4 I'll have to do that. A lot went over my head there. I was never taught this stuff.
Guitars might help. Most strings are tuned in 4ths
So play each each string top down is 4ths.
Play the g string up to the E string and that would be 5ths.
The way Jimi Hendrix played “Hey Joe” is circle of 5ths
I am no expert but I have been learning basic music theory lately and the 5ths are 7 semitones away from your root, also the other end of a triad I believe
I have HUGE respect for Rick and all that he's done for the UA-cam music community. I want to start off by making that clear. I've learned so much by watching his videos. He is a super smart guy, and really good at breaking things apart and helping you to think about things in different ways. That said, he is not the place to start when you want to learn music theory. He teaches at an intermediate and advanced level. If you're anything like I was and you're just a guitar player with almost zero formal musical training, you have to start with the stupidly simple baby basics. Like the names of the notes on the clefs, scales, how to make triads, etc. Then work up from there. Then eventually you can watch Rick's videos and actually get something out of it. The truth is that this stuff isn't complicated. It's very simple, but it takes time and practicing the basics to work toward the more advanced stuff. And there are so many resources here on UA-cam to help you with those basics. Hope that helps. Stick with it, you'll get it.
just great stuff. real teaching for free. couldn't appreciate more.
he is earning a lot of money from youtube ..its free for us which is a good thing but he is getting paid which is good for him
I have learned so much about music from this channel. I discovered you on the iconic guitar intro video. Great approach and delivery all around.
I'm literally learning it right now and you uploaded this. Thanks rick you're incredible!
Now I understand how other people feel when I explain automotive concepts to them: "huh?" 😄
I wrote an instrumental in which the circle of 4ths was used, but I added a twist. I linked ii-V-I progressions together, where each I chord was the next chord in the circle of 4ths. This worked surprisingly well and ended up being sufficient for me to write a basic melody over it. My music is on all the streaming sites. The name of the tune is Angel Glide. Give it a listen, if you're interested.
That is exactly like Jamey Aebersold handles it as it IS the way it is heard! 2-5-1’s... ? Much more understandable to the ear. Listen Down!
Great video Rick. Re the mnemonic at 6:49 My harmony teacher Dr Mark Ellis a brilliant musical mind (author of a book devoted to the evolution of the Augmented 6th!) taught us a curious near palindrome mnemonic that tells a story that once remembered lays out the order of sharps and flats.
For the order of flats: Battle Ends And Down Goes Charles' Father
For the order of Sharps simply reverse the words: Father Charles Goes Down And Ends Battle
Impossible to forget! Just like Dr Ellis.
I have yet to find out what you would call a story that works backwards. It's not a true palindrome and even after asking various English professors! If you know please comment!
Great video, Rick! You condensed the very important basics in a short but clear manner.
How often do you want to change the thumbnail?
Rick: Yes
I thought that he was gonna talk about Rosetta Stoned by Tool
That’s for a What Makes this Song Great 5 hour special.
@breme I thought that he was gonna talk about Rosetta Stoned band
Bring a pen for that episode
Always over my head - and always worth listening to - Thanks Rick!
Love these lessons. Every one opens new doors and blows my mind.
I think I just like hearing Rick's voice lol
When Rick plays round those 5 to 1s it sounds like that passage in Frank Zappa’s Peaches en Regalia 🍑
Thanks for this. I love when you do these videos and go back to the basics.
Man this is an amazing video, its actually helping me to understand music, and it clarifies terminology that I was always confused by. Thanks so much Rick!
Just realized that Rick kinda looks like Christopher Lloyd. He's the mad scientist of music!
"Back in (3/4) Time"...! 🏎
Great Scott!!
You watch the BTTF series on tv last night?
Maybe he sticks Plutonium in his guitar, plays it at >88 BPM to go back to 1997 and prevent single handed the decay of music.
@@MT-BB- I had no idea it was a show. What network/service?
Rick,make a series on the most underrated songs,or artists
You should listen to “the contortionist” because they’re pretty damn good
Great work Rick. Thanks for making music theory accessible to the masses in such an understandable and enjoyable way!
He’s a perfect teacher because he’s very clear and uses a calm and friendly manner. Great.
Rick teaches the Plagal Cadence ... during a pandemic. :-o
Off-topic: Did you get a new camera, Rick? The video looks a bit crisper with a slight color difference.
looks like he's using a green screen
@@isaacfoster3992 No, that’s a real background. It’s funny tho... a lot of people have mentioned that. Rick did a video where he walked back there and picked up stuff. He really has all that gear.
I have to agree it looks like a green screen now....but I know it’s not.
@@marcswanson9507 no, the lighting looks wrong. watch those other videos; he's lit differently in them. I think he is away from his studio and used a photo for this video; I know he is usually in his studio, but I don't think he is here
I always enjoy these music theory videos you put out. Even though I've watched them several times now, it's always good to get a refresher.
Thanks Rick since I got the Beato book in July I have memorized the circle of 5ths sharp rotation as well as Flat. I still pick up my guitars but I've been spending more time with the piano this stuff is really helpful where I can go with a chord progression. Thanks again Dain Huston Portland Oregon
what should I do when I have kinda no idea what you are talking about and wanna start learning music theory? Can anyone recommend me a online course (udemy or so?)
Pianote is a good one to start with. There are tons of online courses, so it would be difficult to pick one over another. What I would do if I were you is try different ones and see if you can find one where the TEACHER is getting through to you and you feel comfortable studying the work. Many online courses offer the same content, but the teacher sucks. If you find a course where you feel like you're actually learning something, stick with that one.
Buy Rick’s book
“This stuffs not that complicated!” While smoke & sparks pour out of my ears . Lol
"Hunter MacDermut" has some EXCELLENT beginning lessons on this topic.
And "The Guitar Doctor" also has a fairly decent lesson as well.
To me that has a beautiful "Van Halen" effect. 03:47
Awesome video Rick, thanks for sharing.
One of your most interesting and helpful videos I have ever seen. Keep it going.
It's so interseting that the tritone interval is symmetrical so C is the tritone of F# and F# is the tritone of C for example. This fact initially maked me think it should be a very nice and stable interval but it actually makes a hard dissonance.
Yes, only the minor 2nd is more dissonant -- to me, at least. But it's actually fun to play around with the tritone in terms of chord structure. For example, it's the leading tone to the root of the V chord, and can drop down a half-step to resolve with the root of the IV chord. Even more interesting, you can have the path split, where the tritone both ascends and descends -- to the V chord, in this case. The tritone resolves up to the V's root, and resolves down to the V's 5th. Just scratching the surface -- I'll leave all the chord wizardry to Rick -- but this gives a hint of what's possible.
King Ptolemy V has listed a copyright stike against you. If you wish to dispute this claim please contact UA-cam.
Hope to be here someday. Just beginning to learn piano from my wife. I use Rick's ear training program and so far it is helping. You are so encouraging Rick, thank you from your virtual friend in Seattle.
I've been playing for more than 20 years. I'm slightly dyslexic and have the absolute hardest time understanding any of this. Thanks for these videos, anything that can help me visualize is really useful.
CIRCLE OF FISTS ✊🏼
LOL ok
Fuck yeah!
Great song title for mosh pit, if they still do such a thing.
The circle of 5iths: "Two there are always, a dominant and a tonic..."
Gin and ..
@@Happyheretic2308 - Quaigonn to be precise!
Darth Plagal the cadence...
Love that we're getting back to some quality theory videos! Still miss the old film scoring videos but keep up the amazing work!
Thanks for taking the time to pull together such *solid* instructional content. When I was a kid taking piano lessons I remember my teacher trying to get me to understand the circle of fifths. Just a very little of it stuck. ;-). I Also remember her calling Plagal "... the Amen Cadence" ;-) for those familiar with protestant hymns...
I’ve sometimes heard the plagal cadence referred to as the “amen chord”, given its use in a lot of gospel songs and hymns. (Prime example: the ending of “Christ The Lord is Risen Today”)
And....I'm already confused 25 seconds in....a new record. Continue...
Edit: Briefly studied my Dad's 1960's Mel Bay books but never took a lesson and self taught by ear.
I really appreciate your videos. I was a music major and taught band and choir 6th through 9th grade. Just thought I'd add that we learned the sharps as, "Father Charles Goes Down And Ends Battle", then for the flats, "Battle Ends And Down Goes Charles Father".
RICK!!! I am 20 and I needed this knowledge SO LONG AGO!!! I'm going to commit this to memory. Thank you so so so much!!!!
I purchased a Yamaha guitar 45 years ago and to this day never learned to play it.
It’s never too late.
Better put the work in, once you learn you'll never put it down. Make it worth the money.
Pick it up and play only one note, even an open string. Keep playing that one note, then two, three, four and more. Keep the guitar handy and learn one chord in the first position, then two, three, four and more.
It really is never too late !
@@accuratealloys Thanks.
@@ChiefMiddleFinger Thanks. Will try.
The way I remembered the order of sharps is "Fat cats get down and elephants boogie"
Thank you for sharing your knowledge Rick. I have improved as a musician because of your channel.
Bravo Beato!!!
I learned Authentic and Plagal modes from Gregorian Chant but you presented it so quickly and clearly
When Rick finally goes mad, he will be in a straight jacket making the sounds he makes at 5:39. Sans guitar.
Then screaming “bob evans ate donuts and burritos and got fat!”
