Rick Beato’s Master Playlist of all “Music Theory and Composition” Music Theory Lecture - What Every Pro Musician Needs To Know Pt 2 (this video) Beginning 0:06 Harmonic Progression 2:40 Natural Resolution Tendencies 3:00 (Example on Piano) 4:00 Diatonic Harmonic Movement 6:04 Secondary Dominant 9:48 (Example on Piano) 12:05 Secondary Diminished Seventh Chords 18:41 (Example on Piano) 20:47 Buy the Book (seriously) 21:11 Tritone Substitute 23:00 (Example on Piano) 25:09 Summary of harmonic analysis and chord substitution The other two music Theory videos by Rick Beato Basics of Music Theory Music Theory Lecture - What Every Pro Musician Needs To Know PT 1 Notes and Helps GO SLOW! Re-watch each section several times, and write out exactly what Rick is saying in several different keys or scales. Rick is also covering 12 - 18 months of music theory in 1 hour 43 minutes over these three videos. Don’t expect to watch one of these videos and understand every nuance of music theory. Read, Watch, Write it down, Play the notes and chords, and LISTEN to your instrument. HEAR the intervals, scales, and chords across the entire fretboard. This stuff is way beyond simple pentatonic scales that you started with. But, Rick is opening up a vast new doorway to mastering music and is helping you become a professional musician.
Buy the Book definitely. I spent a considerable amount of time before I realised that all Western Music is based on intervals relevant to the chromatic scale. Chords are not dependent on scales. Scales are simple if you know the Circle and relationship of modes. Then I read the book !!! PAGE 1 Intervals explained.
These videos are such a great supplement to the Beato Book! Sometimes I get confused by what I read in the book, but then I see a video like this and Rick brings the whole concept to life with hows and whys and tops it off with good examples so you can actually hear what he's talking about. This is the hands down the best channel for "everything music" that I've ever seen. Thanks for sharing your vast knowledge and experience with us, Rick!
This is the indeph insight view I was missing for so long. All your video-lessons are THE REAL THING WE NEED to mine the musical treasures under our fingers. Thanks you very much, Rick. Greetings from Hasselt (Belgium, Europe) :-)
These videos are great! I've been playing all sorts of trumpet for 20 years and still have some basic gaps in my theoretical knowledge even after music degree, etc. Your videos have helped me TREMENDOUSLY discovering firstly what gaps there were and then how to fix them. Super concise, right to the point. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge! Truly in-depth and step by step. Chords and scales, when studied truly in-depth such as analysis of jazz standards and re-harmonization, always make my head spin. Will re-visit this video many times (and others you made) it fills-in many a gap. This is gold!
Your ability of teaching music theory blown me away! Playing piano and having knowledge of all those chord terminology why I am tone-deaf to how they are put together!!
Thanks for making this one of the most inspirational teachings about Music Theory ever. I learned and studied the piano about 13 years before rock`n`roll took my soul lol. Anyway, I just saw your interview with Mr. Steve Vai and was ready to start up the studio, very inspired. Then You showed me how great you could teach and actually make me understand and learn. All while I was loving every second of it. Thanks, again Mr. Rick Beato, you have just got a new fan in me. Now I will play something. I will promote your excellent work to everyone who lives and loves creating or listening to music indeed. Peace, Love, and eternal Respect from Norway.
Just wanted to say thanks once again for everything you are sharing with us. You taking the time to put this information out here is invaluable for many of us. Music school is not always a viable option and the internet is full of so much information it's hard to filter out exactly what you need. This series of videos, along with all much of your other material, is like a guiding light in terms of curriculum and having a solid set of musical concepts to internalize.
THIS VIDEO IS PURE GOLD! You are a treasure trove of knowledge, Rick. Thank you for making this wealth of information so accessible, and in such a substantive, concise way. You're enriching my musical life, as you are doing for thousands and thousands
I watched both videos in double speed, just to make sure I still have my theory stuff together. And yep! I need to brush up on the modes of the melodic and harmonic minor and their corresponding chords, but other than that I'm pretty solid on all this stuff. Thanks for the review, Rick!
Rick, your videos have been part of the inspiration I've needed to kick myself in the ass, and get some musical discipline back into my life. It made me realize how much of the core basics I'd lost touch with. Thank you for taking the effort into creating these awesome, informative videos. I will have to get sharp on the basics, and take a peak at your book to see what new information I can gleam from it.
I've never done this before with a youtuber, but based on your outstanding vidoes, and out of sheer appreciation, I'm buying your book. Love your videos.
I am so helped and i am becoming knowledgeable in music. I don t really know how to thank you. With your videos, sir .....I will achieve my dream. Stay blessed.
Brillant video.....it makes so much sense......some times it takes a grest teacher like you MR Berato to explain the logical set up of the sequence of a system of say what you are demonstrating.....you get a eureka moment....when everything starts to make logical sense.......brillant....keep up the good work.....Mr Berato
Every time I check your vids with my guitar on my lap. And your theory is so solid, the standards things get more odd, and eventually get more comment. Thx very much. I, ll buy your book for sure
This is an amazing amount of content compressed into 26 minutes. So good! Interesting tidbit - listen to the notes at 19:25, where Rick describes the way the notes resolve, it sounds very reminiscent of a memorable Pink Panther movie theme motif. That was an "aha" moment for me - it explained exactly why that little motif is so appealing - it's the sound of two half-step resolutions.
Mr. Beato: I have been listening to your presentations of Music Theory. I must contend you have a Masterful ability of presentation. The scope and sequence of each presentation is superior. I am impressed with your step wise delivery from point a to points b.c.d.etc. You cleared up a number of "memorize" answers I provided on my tests! I was a percussion major but after 35 years of Marching Band and three years of College. I actually became the keyboardist for and 18 pc. Big Band. I always loved theory but never had the chance to look at it from a performance aspect. Plus snare drums have limited changes in sound. Gerald Thompson Ed.D
Now i understand why and when to use a b9, #9, b5, #5, #11, #13. Its to alter the borrowed chords to match the scale notes of the Key, if im not mistaken. I suppose also can be used to create tension, in jazz progressions for instance.
Very interesting lesson.If you use basic chords, add sus chords and secondary chords make your melody will sound so much richier and more melodic.Tri tone, devilish sound.
Rick, I know you meant “both contain F & A” (not F & C) in the Predominant chords but it could confuse people who maybe don’t see as well. Love your videos! I am learning things I wish I known years ago.
Hey Rick, I'm a college student with a BME - Choral Emphasis, and a BA in Philosophy in progress. Just gotta say, I love these lesson videos because it's a nice brush up on my theory before finals in a couple weeks! This is everything a 4-year college music curriculum teaches, thanks for taking the time to make these. Love your videos and I love your book! Taught me a lot about jazz, which I'm also taking classes for at my school (I've finished jazz theory, I'll be taking jazz arranging next semester). Question: The one thing I just haven't been able to grasp is how and why composers choose their modulations & tonal centers back in the Common Practice Period. Do you think you could make a video on the philosophy behind it? I've always been curious to know, because if I've learned anything in my college education it's that composers never do anything by accident. Thanks!
Hey Rick, So I've been playing metal for a long time and I'm just now studying jazz (guitar). I have a good knowledge of scales but my chord theory in general is pretty lacking. Anyways I've just started venturing into jazz and the first standard I started learning is Body and Soul. I could play the chords and come up with some interesting voicings but I couldn't make sense of the progression; 2m7 67?? 2m7 57 1maj7. This video led to me having an "Aha!" moment regarding that Bb7 (and also explains the b9 and why it sounds good). So thanks! I've subscribed, looks like I have loads to learn..
I was a student for roughly 4 months in New York of Barry Harris some time ago (NEEDED TO GO SINCE HE'S CLOSE, and yet still surprisingly pushing on through). I know most of fundamental music theory, but perhaps it wasn't smooth as it is more now compared back then, but I always admired Barry's theory and approach to understanding harmony. Took some time before it clicked, but it can make one see and understand movement, harmonic colors, melodic lines, rhythm and so much more in a refreshing way. I recommend it to go to a few of his classes before it's too late. However, I'm commenting about this not to promote, but to hear your, (Rick Beato), critical point of view on Barry's approach?
hey the diatonic harmonic movement chart was very helpful to me. Thanks. I've also watched a lot of your other videos too. Nice that songs can be broken down and see what it really takes to make a hit!
I just discovered your channel relatively recently; became a fan and bought your book. I was looking to brush up on the information that “fell through the cracks” from memory back at UM (Miami) years ago. Thank you.
It's Saturday night in December. We should of had a gig tonight. My girlfriend has a condo in Buckhead maybe I should bring a couple keyboards some sheet music a real book and some Christmas books down there and we could get some work!
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I was very interested in the book. Where do I right to. To inquire about price for purchase. Hi all the way from Panama City Panama, in Central America
As minor keys have their own sets of progressions, I always hear All The Things, Fm to Bbm, as i to iv. Can you give some examples of the value of thinking of these as vi to ii? Does it matter? Is it easier to group it as a vi-ii-V7-I progression, even if the ear hears it as a i-iv, (then V-I in Ab)? Is it a matter of retraining the ear, ease of teaching, or personal preference, etc.? Signed, in a dichotomy (and a bit inagaddadavida!). Or maybe Yogi Berra would have the answer: when you come to a fork in the road, take it! p.s. thanks for all this Rick!!! You ARE making a difference!
I DO love this, but its frying my brains! Having to watch (over / over) small segments, And I read music score... THANK YOU for putting this brain frying stuff up there!
I'd like to express my thanks for such an informative video. It has stimulated me to ask you a question. Concearning the clear explanation of a role of unstable diminished (x0) chords within secondary seventh diminished modulation what is a role of augmented chords (X+) in a tonal environment?
Hey Rick, first up this is brilliant, you explained it and made it seem so simple (definition of true understanding?) I do have 1 question though, when you say for example for Secondary Dominants, Moving from C Major to the V7 of ii (C - A7 - Dm) do you treat the A7 as if from D Major as a key? So your essentially moving from C Major (I - C Major) -> D Major (V7/ii - A7) -> C Major (ii/ - D minor). I hope that makes sense. Also merry xmas from australia :)
Rick, you are excellent and wise. I start understanding everything but right in the middle I get lost though :). It gets very complicated ig you go so fast. It might pay off to split in two videos and go back to the piano more often. Thanks a lot. I am a faithful follower.
At 4:08, I think Rick makes a mistake. Shouldn't the Dominant chord progression on the far right read IV, instead of V, because he said earlier, that Dominant chords have BOTH the 4th Degree (F), and the 7 Scale Degree (B), unless the chord is inverted. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
sir you are the best teacher in music world...i wish i could buy your book but im from india.so by indian currency its near around 3500rs.haha..its too much for students like me..my bad luck...bt plzz upload more videos abt music theory from basic...thank u sir.we love u.
Hi Rick! I love your videos, they are the best. I’m studying music here at college in Australia and your videos are often easier to understand than my teachers. The Beato Book sounds amazing, but I’d love a paper copy rather than have to read it on a screen. Any chance of getting it published in hard copy please? Thanks, Graham
Did you made a mistake at 18:30 ... last exemple of Secondary diminished 7th chord decending . You wrote a Dmaj7 for the Imaj7 chord and i think it is supposed to be a Gmaj7
Tangent alert: Instead of writing upper and lower case Roman numerals next to each chord, I just use upper and lower case letters. "A, B, C, D, E, F, & G" for major chords", and "a, b, c, d, e, f, & g" for minor chords. Is that a tool you'd use/have seen used, or is it just a thing I made up that works for me? Is there a reason to not do this?

GO SLOW! Re-watch each section several times, and write out exactly
what Rick is saying in several different keys or scales. Rick is also covering
12 - 18 months of music theory in 1 hour 43 minutes over these three videos.
Don’t expect to watch one of these videos and understand every nuance of music
theory.
Read, Watch, Write it down, Play the notes and chords, and LISTEN to
your instrument. HEAR the intervals, scales, and chords across the entire
fretboard. This stuff is way beyond simple pentatonic scales that you started
with. But, Rick is opening up a vast new doorway to mastering music and is
helping you become a professional musician.
Thanks man
Wait, i've watched the first and this second video, but what is the title of the third.
Thank you so much🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I don't comment very often, but I have to tell you that your videos are absolutely amazing, Rick. Thank you so much!
Thanks Matous!!
Bravo: Please do not stop you are the reason why people like us keep going.
I now know I have moved forward in my music knowledge purely because I now understand what Rick is talking about. Cheers Rick 👍

This is quite possibly the BEST video on this concept online. Just bought the Beato book, can't wait to dive in.
Amazingly simple and yet so effective. You are a true master. Thank you so much again and again.
Once again another amazing video! hands down best music theory tutorials on youtube, please keep them coming!
My teacher shared you with me and I am learning so much! Thank you Rick! 🎶😘

This is blowing my mind! I took your advice, Rick, and I’m going back to watch these videos. Amazing! And thank you!!
Wow! I never thought about chord progressions in this way. Makes so much sense! Thank you!
19:33... The notes of a dim7 chord resolving to their respective minor chord notes = Pink Panther Theme. Mind = blown. :) Love your videos Rick!
I just realized the same thing! It really shows the genius of Henry Mancini...
I've never done this before with a youtuber, but based on your outstanding vidoes, and out of sheer appreciation, I'm buying your book. Love your videos.
This is absolute gold. I'll be returning after I address the stuff in the first video.
I am so helped and i am becoming knowledgeable in music. I don t really know how to thank you. With your videos, sir .....I will achieve my dream. Stay blessed.
I'm in love with the amount of content i can learn in your channel.
I wish had see your videos before I went to music school. Great content as always!

A great follow up to the first one.
THANK YOU SIR! YOU ARE A MUSICAL TREASURE.
man!! I just love you for providing this for us!! god bless you!!
Is this gonna have a Part 3? : )
Great content Rick, always inspiring.
I was a student for roughly 4 months in New York of Barry Harris some time ago (NEEDED TO GO SINCE HE'S CLOSE, and yet still surprisingly pushing on through). I know most of fundamental music theory, but perhaps it wasn't smooth as it is more now compared back then, but I always admired Barry's theory and approach to understanding harmony.

Blown away! This is just next level content! Thanks Rick!
19:33 the pink panther
In about four or five months I'll most likely be getting your book Rick!
Acialist did you get the book?
This really reinforced some theory lessons I've had in the past. Great refresher! I feel like I can write better songs now.
hey the diatonic harmonic movement chart was very helpful to me. Thanks. I've also watched a lot of your other videos too. Nice that songs can be broken down and see what it really takes to make a hit!
You are a super human Rick. Thank you for the videos and inspiration!
Thank you so much Rick! Just bought your book and watching every single video! Great content! Greetings from Brazil
I dont usually comment, but the information you present is so valuable & APPECIAtED, THANKYOU SO MUCH Rick/peace- Jay.
I just discovered your channel relatively recently; became a fan and bought your book. I was looking to brush up on the information that “fell through the cracks” from memory back at UM (Miami) years ago. Thank you.
It's Saturday night in December. We should of had a gig tonight. My girlfriend has a condo in Buckhead maybe I should bring a couple keyboards some sheet music a real book and some Christmas books down there and we could get some work!
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I was very interested in the book. Where do I right to. To inquire about price for purchase. Hi all the way from Panama City Panama, in Central America
Probably allready mentioned but F (subdominant) contains F and A and the Dmin (supertonic) also contains F and A.
Awesome video! Bravo Rick! - and, i love the black t-shirt! : -)
Thanks, Rick ! Great lesson, as always!
It would be fine if you could show the keyboard as you are playing, thanks, you are a real master of jazz lessons.
Thank You, this is great lesson! Cheers from snow Poland
best series yet
Outstanding. Thanks for this!
Think I'm gonna use G7#7#5 for my next complex password at work.
You're amazing as usual, thank you!
Hey Rick great channel!! Great information!!!
At 15:47, that would be a bII7/ii7 though, not bIII7/ii7. bIII7 would be in relation to I, but you're describing the relationship to ii7. Right?
Yes, it should be bII not bIII. My bad!! The sub V7/ii is correct though
Thanks for the great lesson. God bless you
As minor keys have their own sets of progressions, I always hear All The Things, Fm to Bbm, as i to iv. Can you give some examples of the value of thinking of these as vi to ii? Does it matter? Is it easier to group it as a vi-ii-V7-I progression, even if the ear hears it as a i-iv, (then V-I in Ab)? Is it a matter of retraining the ear, ease of teaching, or personal preference, etc.? Signed, in a dichotomy (and a bit inagaddadavida!). Or maybe Yogi Berra would have the answer: when you come to a fork in the road, take it! p.s. thanks for all this Rick!!! You ARE making a difference!
This is so awesome.
Thank Rick for this knowledge
So helpful! Thank you!
I DO love this, but its frying my brains! Having to watch (over / over) small segments, And I read music score... THANK YOU for putting this brain frying stuff up there!
Great job! Big thx!
1:35 He meant to say F and A, not F and C.
awesome explanations, thank you
Thanks rick, please can you show or make a videos on the movement of the cords?
Cool video for remember theory . Maybe you can do a video of how start to approach allan holdsworth style. Cheers
I'd like to express my thanks for such an informative video. It has stimulated me to ask you a question. Concearning the clear explanation of a role of unstable diminished (x0) chords within secondary seventh diminished modulation what is a role of augmented chords (X+) in a tonal environment?
thank you for your videos.. its amazing...
Hey Rick, first up this is brilliant, you explained it and made it seem so simple (definition of true understanding?) I do have 1 question though, when you say for example for Secondary Dominants, Moving from C Major to the V7 of ii (C - A7 - Dm) do you treat the A7 as if from D Major as a key? So your essentially moving from C Major (I - C Major) -> D Major (V7/ii - A7) -> C Major (ii/ - D minor). I hope that makes sense. Also merry xmas from australia :)
wonderful lesson
Listening to a Rick lecture is like reading a Karl Marx book: every 5 minutes you understand a crucial point you've never heard of before.
Rick, you are excellent and wise. I start understanding everything but right in the middle I get lost though :). It gets very complicated ig you go so fast. It might pay off to split in two videos and go back to the piano more often. Thanks a lot. I am a faithful follower.
OOOps - I forgot to mention the other link for the previous post
which is musescore.com/user/93898/scores/1659326
At 4:08, I think Rick makes a mistake. Shouldn't the Dominant chord progression on the far right read IV, instead of V, because he said earlier, that Dominant chords have BOTH the 4th Degree (F), and the 7 Scale Degree (B), unless the chord is inverted. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
sir you are the best teacher in music world...i wish i could buy your book but im from india.so by indian currency its near around 3500rs.haha..its too much for students like me..my bad luck...bt plzz upload more videos abt music theory from basic...thank u sir.we love u.
Thanks so much Jay!!
#1: kudos! #2: at 18:30, the progression on the bottom of the whiteboard- shouldn't the first I maj7 be Gmj7 instead?
Hi Rick! I love your videos, they are the best. I’m studying music here at college in Australia and your videos are often easier to understand than my teachers. The Beato Book sounds amazing, but I’d love a paper copy rather than have to read it on a screen. Any chance of getting it published in hard copy please? Thanks, Graham
Did you made a mistake at 18:30 ... last exemple of Secondary diminished 7th chord decending . You wrote a Dmaj7 for the Imaj7 chord and i think it is supposed to be a Gmaj7
great information given out, usually someone would have to pay for something like this
thank you for your videos!!!!!!!
Awesome video, thank you Rick! I want to buy the book. Is there a place that I can buy it as a paper version instead of PDF?
Gracias Rick
My bad. I watched the video again, and understood what he was saying. He did put the F in the G Dominant chord.
Thank you.
Tangent alert: Instead of writing upper and lower case Roman numerals next to each chord, I just use upper and lower case letters. "A, B, C, D, E, F, & G" for major chords", and "a, b, c, d, e, f, & g" for minor chords. Is that a tool you'd use/have seen used, or is it just a thing I made up that works for me? Is there a reason to not do this?
The secondary dominant example has a very 'Elton John' flavour about it.
