Welcome to the "No tell" fretboard lesson. Such a lovely phrase, such a lovely phase.
train your ears
Clever way to slip in Motel Santa Monica. And I knew Felder ripped the idea from something he was practicing but I didn't realize it was baroque. Very slick Rick!
I like to refer to it as Sleepover Commiefornia. 😅
A certain Meve Stiller wrote this song 'Fly Like A Seagull'.
And this seagull once heard a song of the brickish band Jazzrow Dull titled 'We Used To Grow'. And the seagull thought by itself 'what a fine chord progression. Let's transpose it and change the
melody.'
Voila, Caladonia Motel by the Seagulls...
And this seagull you cannot change.
@@jamiemccrory6052I believe Flock of Jonathan's changed it ever so slightly to sound cool about an Iroc-Z, nearby.
Doh .. It was a Beagle, it was a Queen song , dont you know anything .
Gotta love the “I hate these tuners” while tuning his signature Gibson comment he made. Rick calls it like he sees it. He’s the best on the youtube.
I was talking about my pedal strobe tuner, but thanks :)
@@RickBeatothanks for the carification. I was going to say maybe the nut needed to be recut if it won't stay in tune. Cheers Rick.
The pedal strobe tuners will drive you crazy. Don’t use ‘em!
TC Electronic tuner, mini or regular size is the way to go. You’ll tune up in 20 seconds and be just as in tune as if you tuned for ten minutes using the strobe tuner.
Try it….
Ritchie Blackmore was probably one of the earliest to start using classical music influences in his solos in Deep Purple and Rainbow. This influenced Malmsteen, for example.
Agreed. Blackmore was the original neo-classical shredder. He was an influence on Randy Rhoads as well.
Yeah that's who I thought of first amongst that type of player. Love Ritchie Blackmore.
Give a nod to Moody Blues. ❤
‘Blackbird’ famously inspired by McCartney and Harrison’s love of Bach as well
👍
The easiest way to learn all the notes on the fretboard is to memorize the notes where the dots are at frets 3, 5, 7 & 9, but just five strings because the two E strings are repeats. That's only 20 notes. You already know the notes at the nut and the 12th fret (where it starts all over). With a little concentration, your brain will automatically fill in all the other 'unknown' notes because you'll be only one fret away from a note you already know. You can memorize the entire fretboard in less than a week this way. Really.
That's exactly how I did it early in my playing. 👍
Agree! This worked for me!
Well when you put it like this… 😅
Years ago in university my private guitar teacher (for jazz studies) was handing out Bach's 2 Part Inventions which deal with similar stuff.
When some one says, "Do I really need to know [music theory]?", the answer is invariably YES! It may seem like it's a waste of time, but it's not and never will be. The brain is a muscle; use it or lose it. It may seem like some disparate piece of trivia, but is only a lack of corrolation on your part. The more you learn and know the more you see connections. Connections build memories and a deeper appreciation for the world around us. Anything less is taking Life for granted.
So, do you need to know that thing? Always 'yes'. Don't hide behind excuses.
I love that you mention John Williams. I actually saw Star Wars in Concert some years ago. John was not conducting but he came out the end and conducted the encore which was the Darth Vader theme, which they actually played during the show as well. He was 80 at the time. I think it's amazing that he's now 91.
We saw him last year at the Hollywood Bowl and he conducted a lot of the show himself. It was an amazing experience
Star Wars? What about Christianity?
Great lesson as ever Rick! Thank you!
Invauable stuff Rick. This is definetely the buiding blocks to working out anything melodically and harmonically. it encompasses everything as im happily finding out . Thank you as always.
Gotta love that Motel Pasadena progression.
Such a lovely place
Excellent momentous movement of arpeggios using chord tones, thank you Rick.
Uli Jon Roth was playing Neo Classical rock in the early 1970’s and with his tenure in the Scorpions. He was also shedding back then also.
What an indispensable fountain of wisdom!
God bless Rick Beato
Just set up my ovation with Nashville tuning. It sounds amazing! Thank you Rick for your channel. I love it.
Great stuff as always man
Clever way to dissect Hotel California without getting hit by Don and UA-cam............lol. 😅
Very good!
It was stolen from Jethro Tull anyway.
@@moroper8074 - what song?
@@RicG. "We used to know" Jethro Tull. The chord progression is identical. When Ian Anderson was asked if he was going to take action he said he couldn't be bothered. Listen to it and you will see
@@moroper8074wow it's identical. Even parts of the solo are really similar
That Purdy interview was the best❣️❤️
Lots of success with your performances!
I was listening to this band (who shall not be named) earlier today and thinking “it’s too bad the drummer is such a tool, or else Rick Beato could make some really good content with some of their material”. There is so much good stuff in their catalog to talk about!
Which band?
Metallica probably
lol
Creep and When I Come Around are also fun progressions to arpeggiate for practice. Choose your favorite chord progresion and go to town.
Enjoyed the "aside" on the importance of applying this stuff to well...music!!
This is why Rick is the ultimate music teacher. Love This!!
Good stuff Rick! Please add "Til I hear it from you" analysis as a curious favorite.
Great,GreatRick! You must love this zigzag's siquence in 3plets on pedal D (starting on B on 3g str.): bcg, adc , deb , etc.
Another great video Rick. It's given me some ideas for some more arpeggios to practice.
I’ve long thought that the electric guitar takes the same role as the classical pipe organ.
Music theory is key to the basis of understanding how music works. I studied George Bizet’s Symphony in C because our orchestra was performing it and I was tasked with writing the description for the program.
its important to learn ALL u can no matter if its not your taste or flavor....im trying to learn it all so keep these videos coming
Rick, thank you so much for this lesson. I’ve been incorporating split triads into my playing ever since I watched the video you did on them. This has really improved my solos, but also my rhythm playing where I use them for spice. I’m definitely going to incorporate today’s progression into my practice routine! I appreciate you, and I’m so grateful for your channel!
I began recording with a lot of hybrid picking to create that space. My friends and other writers always give me the ‘You have a lot of space, while also constantly layering and building up the song…’
What they’re hearing is a constant outlining of chords and their flavors tied together in the mix. Single note spread arpeggios over basic chords can completely change your second verse.
To me…it’s fun! Yes it takes work, but more I’ve done it, the more natural it is.
I would love to see you play in new york!! Good luck with your gigs!! And Thank you for all you do. I watch you all the time but rarely comment. But i do save them! Onward!
Lot of tips and tricks. Great information.
Fantastic lesson!
Knowing music theory in order to be a better musician is like thoroughly knowing a language to be a better poet or writer, knowing the perfect words to convey your message, mood, emotion and how they interplay. Sure you can get by with pigeon English you pick up but if you learn it you can become Shakespeare or Wordsworth.
Thank God for Music.
And thank you Rick for teaching this. It's Saturday mourning I've been struggling to get out of my months long rut ive been in and you just showed me how. Let music of all types forever make us humble
There's a great video clip from years back wherein Marty Friedman says the best solos are ones where you could tell what chords are being played over without needing to hear them, and demonstrates by improvising a solo over these same chords in his head.
That’s a real gig for all to be on top of the instrument ! 🎵
How about Big Brother and the Holding Company's Summertime sung by Janis Joplin? The intro is a (Bach?) fugue played played by guitarists James Gurley and Peter Albin, and this is carried through the entire arrangement. It really works to support and complement Janis's vocals, the two musical types somehow both fitting in and contrasting.
Good call. Also, blackbird by the beatles, Paul McCartney has said that he was messing around with a kinda Bach style piece on guitar when he came up with blackbird. Also, tubular bells is almost the same as one of bachs pieces, some fugue something or other, I believe.
I love when a lesson turns into a conversation about the Beatles.
Rick, I bought your signature Gibson last year, mint, used and it came with the tuners, swapped out…Goto locking, tulip tuners. Love them and the guitar!
It's the song about that lovely "HOTEL".
Amazing Mr Modern Mozart. Thank you very much.
Ever notice "Hotel California" reused the same progression as Jethro Tull's "We Used to Know"? "Whenever I get to feel this way. Have to find NEW words to say..." So when you said guess this song... I FIRST thought of THAT. Great tips, as usual Rick!
Love it, very clever!
Yes. Those are really nice combinations. Almost opposite what I hear in paganinni caprice ( dark)
Amazing video!
Very good. Great! Best regards from Germany!
Absolutely genius
Just bought the bundle. Thankfully I pulled the trigger. There was only an hour and a half to get it at that price! I imagine this will supplement my weekly in person lesson. Which is mostly just playing riffs in songs that I’m listening to.
You the man Ricko Beato
I seriously would love to learn all the licks you played here so I can trail blaze through all of it into a rock solo. Rick you're mind blowing.
They're not licks! They're just arpeggio shapes that he's linking together. Learn the 3 string arpeggio shapes to get you started, they're a game changer.
If someone would just make a song based on these chords that would rock!
Beautiful & melodic soloing Rick ! 👍🏻🎼🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵
Thank you!
Ty Master Beato.❤
Nice playing of Jethro Tull's "We used to know" there Rick 😜
I only started learning how to play the guitar a little over a month ago & I'm documenting my entire journey on here so still a long way from this sort of thing but it's still super insightful to watch!
Hooray for you! I’m 11 months into it - so much to learn, and it’s all worth it, both the fun and the tedious stuff. I got a teacher at 6 months in and it does help.
Welcome to the club my brother. Good luck on your journey. I've subbed and will follow your progress. If I can be of any assistance let me know, I'll offer up some tips and tricks in your comment section. My brain knows a whole lot more than my hands can do and I like to help ppl when I can. See you in the comments.
Rick, you do not have to defend the value of knowing and using theory. No, it doesn't come as easy to some of us common players as it does to you so we get frustrated and play totally by ear. 😆 But, it's close, not accurate. It's like everything else in life...do the work to reap the reward. I suck at theory but continue to learn from you continuously.
Carol Kaye:”You got to know your chord tones!”
Just a suggestion: get a Bach or Buxtehude organ book of Toccatas and Fugues/Preludes write the chords out and have a blast.
Man Rick this is BRILLIANT !!! Why didnt they think of this ? Oh ya, thats right, they are not THE Rick Beato !!! 🎸🎶
Love Hotel California and this is awesome 👌
This is way better than football except for the Pittsburgh Steelers. I'm from Atlanta. Surprised we haven't met yet . My last concert I went to at the Masquerade was Love and Rockets . Funny I'm just now discovering the importance of arpeggios in relation to melody writing. Its almost as if the arpeggio helps guide you down a unseeable path to a possible melody or song . I play street music sometimes down at Piedmont Park on the belt line just up from tenth and Monroe under the bridge. Funny your headed to Berlin. I just got back from living in Duesseldorf for the last 20 years. The German people are great and they love music .I like the arpeggio ideas at the beginning of the video and I think I'm gonna use that . How about that Ted Greene chord chemistry book pretty intense . I'm thinking about getting your book . Must have been cool to talk to Sting . Saw the Police at the Omni and Sting 1 time at the Fox theater.Keep on Rockin
Very cool!
Rick you should get an interview with Paul McCartney and go over this stuff. That would be amazing.
Thanx a lot rick u r king
Pretty new guitar!
Love you dude
This is an awesome video, but it's not on thevideo list on the Rick beato channel page. Once again, the best free guitar lesson ever!
Rick, I'm sure we are all doing the best we can. I've been a hard study of Jazz the last six years. I've learned an extraordinary number of new chords. Yet I still feel as if I only know less than half of them, and that's in standard tuning. I probably would know more if I hadn't got caught up in creating designer chords for my own compositions. I just recently bought a real computer. I was using only the tablet since Windows XP is not supported anymore. I wish I could afford your book, but I can't. But that's OK since I'm intelligent enough to figure it all out myself.
😂 Welcome to the Ho-Tel Be-Ato… What a nice surprise…good stuff!
Wonderful
Rick, you keep doing this stuff and I'll buy another guitar. Being a bass player this will make my wife beyond happy.
If your wife doesn't like bass introduce her to Davie504 and Charles Berthoud. Charles is a monster and Davie is hilarious.
Music apparition class !
Great video, Rick! I'd love to see you analyse the new Rolling Stones song 'Angry'! What do you think of it, Rick?
Rick, I’ll try, TRY to get to your Gramercy Theater show in October. 🙏
I love the sound of all those phrases! Beautiful!
I'm just a creaky old "intermediate" player, & I have no idea what he's doing or how to even start. 😮
I think I know what an arpeggio is, technically, but... huh?
Him calling out a chord name, then whipping out those riffs leaves me not knowing where to start...
Oh, OK; I will have to buy the books!
Right On
Would love for you to do a show or interview with Motown legends
Impressed by your authentically German pronunciation of the "ch" sound in "Bach."
I'd expect nothing less from Mr. Beato.
Of course ... but can he also say Mozart and Beethoven without diphthongs?
I prefer ala Bugs Bunny, "Batch"
Big fan here since I saw you I start thinking to buy a guitar 🎸 and learn how to play guitar 🎸
Great video!!!
Hotel riff was Cool!
Love the insight Rick! I was wondering if you'd consider looking at some drum corps music. I've been on a huge drum corps listening binge lately
Those arpegios an scales derived from them evoke Hotel california and kind of help us see where the idea for the lead to it came from.
Sometimes, all it takes is knowing how something sounds in your head before you figure out how to articulate it. How do you think all of the great classical musicians wrote their stuff?
There's a lot of soul in music. Feelings. The best music comes when the soul can connect with the feelings. You listen to different tones and recognise how each tone makes you feel. Then you just connect them together. Anyone can be a guitarist, but not everyone can be a musician.
😃It would be so fun to get to be there at those things.
I know that song: "We Used to Know" by Jethro Tull! I heard that some American band ripped off the chord progression.
Don Felder' masterpiece. He should have wrote the lyrics and kept all the rights! That would have pissed off Henley and Frey.
You da man rick
Rick Beato very talented and intelligent Musician love his Channel.. I’m hoping there are people going to Church and Worshiping GOD on SUNDAY🙂🙂
You should interview Uli Jon Roth if you can while in Germany
this is the content I signed up for
genialísimo!
love this. :)
Hey! Abba did some rockers to.. like "Hey hey Helen" "Hole in your soul.." and "So long"
Have you done a segment on favourite concerts you've attended?
Don’t forget Steve Morse who likes classical music as, Go for Baroque period
This is also Jethro Tull - We Used To Know from their Stand Up Album from 1969
I would love to see something about Ultravox. I think they are a very underrated band.
Vienna STILL a great song!👍👍
I’m not supposed to be here as I play brass, but love guitar solos, here to grab what I can.
"Something "that song is so hard I'm trying to master that one on the bass I'm wondering if I should approach it from the guitar first and memorize all the chords but even so on bass its a challenge😃 and you're right I was watching football earlier today my Jaguars won🎉🎉🎉
