    This guy has so much valuable knowledge across his channel, its clear he exudes the archetypal "sage". If I'd have encountered Rick when I was 15, I'd be a much better musician than I am now - and I'm at a decent level. Love this channel and discovered it recently. No small wonder how he exploded so quickly. Thanks for sharing the knowledge, Rick. If you are currently a teenager with a guitar, you are very lucky indeed to have the resources available to you.... Use them :)

      @@richsackett3423 If you see the film about Jaco it's clear he sought out the knowledge. BUT- it helps if you meet this early on. It's always a combination of the two. If someone goes to Berklee no doubt they will meet by chance many who will serve as mentors. The surroundings make a huge difference, because those chance encounters can more easily happen. This is true for any type of knowledge: martial arts, music, mathematics. The difference is that now with the internet a lot of knowledge is much more easily available; this works especially well with music and especially guitar it seems. For martial arts you really need to feel it directly. For math you essentially can't really get that knowledge outside of a great university. Yes you can learn from books but videos can be either too fast or too slow. Regarding guitat, we all learned so much from friends, but the network now (a lot thanks to Rick!) is much much larger, allowing those with a thirst for knowledge to really fly....

    wow! some really great sounding and varied arpeggio sequences! I really love the sound of the extensions too.
    I'm gonna have to be a bit more expansive and fresher in my approach now. Today ive been trying to lead into arpeggio practice with whole step enclosures to create more melodic interest and variety but your playing in this video is just light years ahead musically and really highlights the potential possibilities available.
    Thanks Rick, I appreciate the inspired playing and demonstration. best wishes.

    These arpeggios are cool and I understand arpeggios in relation to in C the major arpeggios for the 1chord minor for the 2 chord minor for the 3rd major 7 for the 4 & so on. These arpeggios are great but a bit confusing when he's not showing the progression he's playing over. Rick's great but just wish he could present it a bit more clearly by showing the progression he's playing over and then elaborating a bit. I have the beato book but it's on my phone and it's massive. Would cost a fortune to take it to have all the pages printed up to bind it like a fake book.

    Learning this stuff is so much fun. There are just so many ways to go. If we are really lucky, one day we could write beautiful mind blowing, chart topping songs. Become a star, and use almost none of this stuff! Great songs are usually fairly simple but you have to learn all of this so you can learn to get the most from the least

  • @Endless_Skyway_Adventures
    @Endless_Skyway_Adventures 6 років тому

    in the 80's there was a book by Dennis Lambert called Producing Hit Records that had a floppy 33-1/3 vinyl that you had to put on top of another rigid LP to play. It had individual tracks of the song BABY COME BACK by Player. It was one of the very few sources of what individual tracks sounded like at the time. I remember having people over just to hear the disk and how excited we were to be able to hear individual parts of a hit record. It was very similar to "What Makes this Song Great" except there was Audio Only.

Would you ever consider making a video on advanced reverb mechanics, the likes of George Massenburg and those cats? Cheers!

  • @bobparsonsartist564
    @bobparsonsartist564 6 років тому

    I take the major scale technology and superimpose over the dominant chords. A DM scale spells out an A7. I don't know if I'm lazy or what, but that is easy for me to visualize. Or play the major scale a whole step down. It looked like your C Dominant was a Bb M scale. All that aside, I love this stuff. Especially "practice what you'll use" idea!

    • @YoussefRbahi
      @YoussefRbahi 6 років тому

      Your comment was kinda confusing but isn't C7 the V chord in the key of F, and thus you should play the F major scale?

    • @bobparsonsartist564
      @bobparsonsartist564 6 років тому

      Youssef Rbahi , when you have dominant chords, the major scale a whole step down works nicely. You’re right my comment was confusing. My bad.

    When arpeggios are hard enough, Rick mixes them all up into the same scale, and it's gets more complicated.

    @brentoned 6 років тому

    Question...
    A friend and band-mate of mine turned me on to your channel last week and I've been blown away by pretty much everything I've seen so far. I'm especially intrigued by your break down the music theory in the "What makes this song great" series. Especially artists you would never expect, like Nirvana and Blink 182. My question is how important do you think it is to actually "know" all that music theory? I imagined artists like Kurt Cobain had an instinct for those amazing melodies rather than a technical understanding. And then there's the guys like me that "noodle" until I find what sounds right, or different, or interesting. So, from your experience and knowledge, how many of these great artists you are reviewing or have worked with had a technical understanding verses an instinctive understanding, or maybe even just got lucky once or twice.
    Thanks,
    Keep the EXCELLENT content coming.

    I have a quite unusual but versatile finger picking technique. I attribute this to smoking whilst playing, it involves moving the cigarette, or other smoking medium, to and from your mouth without missing a beat. So as well as drinking a lot of coffee musicians really ought to smoke as well.

    • @davenabors1928

    @robschaller9061 4 роки тому +1

    Rick, I've got a serious question, and perhaps it's just that I'm not the fastest learner but, How do you find time to do the type of practice you are talking about when you are hip-deep in learning a setlist of 50 songs? I typically aim to get in at least 5 hours a day on the instrument and when Im not physically playing Im sitting in my office watching youtube video's on music theory, or Im listening to songs on the setlist as it is a bit easier to learn the songs correctly when you know the songs from hearing them over and over (at least it is for me) with that in mind how the heck do I carve out time for just some of what you are talking about? For you younger people, for the love of God above, LEARN THEORY NOW while you are young and you have years ahead of you as a player. I didn't and if I could change just one thing it would be that I spent my energy early in my playing focusing on theory.

    • @mikemolaro4198

    I’ve noticed you pick quite hard. Do you pick softer on 16 triplet notes for example or use even dynamic? You lift your left hand fingers off the fretboard very high. Is there any purpose with it? Do you see some advanges in doing that? Nothing offensive by the way...

    Rick i have a really hard time trying to make my arpeggios sound musical and melodic instead of mechanical. I'm a die hard fan of frank gambale, but when i study his phrasing I'm not able to implement his solutions in my playing... Even if he plays over a simple C G F F chord progression. How would you develop arpeggios phrasing and is there any book you'd recommend me or some type of exercises to stop running up and down like an idiot?

    Is Louie Beato of Agnostic Front & Carnivore your brother? You look alike.

      Hey Rick, Already bought it, didn't get around to reading it yet. Didn't know it had guitar instructions as well, thought it was theory only. Now I'm excited to start working on it ... Thank you very much
