I can't get through 5 minutes of your videos without wanting to race over to my piano and try something new! :D
or guitar.
I know the feeling... I wish I had a piano :(
The trick is to have your instrument at/next to your computer.
@@maxkolbl1527 there are some awesome weighted action keyboards that truly feel like an acoustic piano
Right!😂
Dissonance = Emotion is such a great rule to music theory, and a reminder as to why dissonance is not a bad thing when writing music.
My friends say my music is too dissonant.
@@Ivan_1791 guess then its too emotional xD
@@Ivan_1791 same for me, everyone says that, but its what I am going for
@@Ivan_1791 some think that dissonance becomes bad when it has reached a limit, a bit like random young children playing piano.
@@letimo6721 I hope that's the reason. xD Anyways I always post my works in my channel.
This just make me remember how Pop music nowdays avoid dissonance... and sometimes it sound very emotionless.
Augusto I don't think that's true. Pop music uses a lot of seventh chords and other extended chords. Maybe there aren't a lot of chromatic tones, but there are loads of sevenths and ninths.
I agree
they are not a part in the main layer and the mix cause them dissonants kinda turned down. the basic chord pops out more than the rest
it's kinda reversed when it comes to modern metal, where the dissonant are part of the main layer
I mean... irs pop music, its supposed to be easy listen. But yeah there are quite a lot of exceptions to this, I find Charli XCX often finds some dissonance in her songs
Pop music and mainstream hip hop uses some dissonance, but it uses it in a very flat and predictable way. It's like calling mayonnaise spicy
shoutout to guitarists : Emotion starts with Em
Starts with D for me. D Major but for solos in blues the Em is one of the best.
spicecrop r/whoosh
OofleSpoofle Reddit references in the wild are a dangerous game.
spicecrop it was a joke
Dm....Cat Stevens...Hard Headed Woman and more....pretty ding danged emotional to me, he said wiping back tears from his good eye
9:24 That was actually very beautifully cinematic Rick.
Yet another short video from Mr Beato that ends up taking an hour to watch because I keep stopping it, take a few notes, then go back to watch it again and see if I understand it better after taking notes. Change a few notes after reviewing a section that I took the notes for, then review it again. When will I learn that this always happens!!? Rick Beato should be classified as a drug, and I am hopelessly addicted. Unlike most other drugs that I have tried each hit from Mr Beato just gives me a bigger rush than the previous hits have done. Cold Turkey is not an option, the only solution is more practice.
Weird flex. but okay
si
This video leveled me up. Rick you're the greatest
Really enjoyed this video. You always give me so much to think about. Thanks!
Thanks David!
Omg a person with subs
Rick Beato is the coolest music teacher I know.
I am really REALLY REALLY interested to see what Rick could do with a full symphony orchestra.
skip to 9:46 for Rick BeeGee-ato
All jokes aside, your knowledge keeps me stayin' alive Rick!
you're work as a father is so inspiring! I hope you're crying tears of joy whole doing these videos! lol
I am :)
@@RickBeato Rick, you have no idea how great of a teacher you are. I've learned so much from you. God bless you and your gorgeous family.
Yeah I cried too
Personally, I consider surprise to be very, very important to make sure the music isn't boring or cliche. So I really like to put deceptive moves in there, maybe even two in a row, before finally giving the listener satisfaction. The biggest problem with pop music nowdays is "no surprises" in the chords.
Your composition, as a theme for a movie sound track, is better than most I've actually heard. It might just need a pinch more recognizable melody if you want to take home an Oscar, but even as it is, it's quite good.
Rick expounds on music in such an infectious manner. He is just all about the explanation and it works. He makes you want to run out and play music on an instrument. This guy is fantastic. What Sal Kahn is to math this man is too music.
I love your film scoring videos. Each one improves my compositions by 100%
Me too :D
10:02: That Gadd4/D; so beautiful!
Again a great explanation of what's going on in film music. James Horner immediately comes to mind after hearing the example composition. Fascinating.
Thank you! I’m now going to go write a song written in all tritones now, and will then have created the most emotional song ever.
"The poetry that comes from the squaring off between
And the circling is worth it
Finding beauty in the dissonance"
Beautiful song and beautiful family!
Rick, this video is absolutely beautiful. I really miss these in-depth music theory videos not about popular music. Please bring them back!
Man, it's so cool to hear someone with the EXACT same motto! I've always said that emotion is in the dissonance. "Emotion = dissonance"!
This guy's teachings on music are one of the most important things youtube has to offer to a musician
I just discovered your channel. You are beyond amazing and i love your contents. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge
I love that it’s “emotion” and not something specific, there are sooo many distinct ways to use dissonance.
Besides the beautiful Major 7 or Minor 9 chords, up the distortion and just play an open power chord interspersed with a high range minor second on syncopated off beats? That’s half of all metal break downs
Maravilloso! Wonderful!
Love your videos Rick. It's exciting to hear someone talk about what me and many other musicians think about all day long.
My new found inspiration. Thank you for all that you do Rick. Cheers
Thank you Rick Beato for your fountain of musical knowledge.
Rick, this is awesome. I write, starting from the feeling. I can feel an emotion but also sometimes write something that has an emotion I'm not feeling, per se. Such things may be needed for music for film, shows, etc., to be able to write in an emotion required in a scene. You have added so much to what I try to do and I appreciate it very very much, that you take the time to share and to care. All that being said, it is incomprehensible that anyone would "down vote" this. True, people allegedly have a right to an opinion but I would seriously place the "downvoters" of this specific video into a category of anti-social (or simply evil) personalities, to have not been grateful for the gift you have given in this video. Thank you for all you share.
Wow. Your composition in this video is absolutely phenomenal!
Thanks again Rick. --- you're a ROCKSTAR !!!!
Oh wow... I have so much to learn... I've been learning a lot of theory lately and just when I think I know something, someone like you comes along and makes me feel like I am back in grade school. But it is worth it! That short musical score packs so much emotion! Thanks Rick!
Your lessons regularly change my musical life. You make things that were once mysterious so accessible
I love you do, you’re a real hero for explaining this to everyone. I feel like the theory you explain really breaks the vail of the common progressions you hear over and over on the radio. Sometimes, I wonder if a hit is just a hit because of how familiar the audience is with the progression, the creation of dissonance and it’s resolution. Still a novice- barely have the circle memorized and still use my fingers to count. Hopefully one day I’ll learn for sure.
Sir, I want to thank you for sharing your knowledge. Because it helps me a lot to express what I feel, but was yet unable to express in a musical way. And yes, the melodies you created there are incredibly beautiful!
Thank you for drawing our attention to this approach. I think i have heard similar stuff in some Arron Copland pieces without really registering there were spots without "black keys" so to speak...i have gotten so muvh inspiration and valuable information from your videos. I never got to go to music school, but you are helping me make up for lost time now!
Such a great piece!!!!
Absolutely beautiful!
Great practical stuff! Thank you.
well my eyes went moist at that composition so i guess there's that
me too
Me.2.
You are the boss. Love the piano sound of that old rd150
This is EXACTLY what I've been looking for! I can't wait until I have enough money to buy your book, your videos are always so helpful
Yes, you should be pleased with that strings section...and I simply cannot get enough of your videos.
This is great. As a beginner, for me, this ties in perfectly with your recent video...Film Scoring, What the Pros Know. It's just like an explanatory extension of that videos theme. Very nice. I think this opens up a world of ideas just doing what you did here, stay in a major scale a learn what all can be done with it. Very nice fit with the kids video. In 30 years, they'll watch this with a few tears,..... just how great dad was :) Thanks..
Rick will win, he has the most everything.
On one level you make this sound very logical, on another level it makes me realize I'd need decades of study to adlib these lovely pieces. Nice work.
One of your best videos! Thanks!
Dude you almost had me in tears! And those old photos of you are gold thanks for sharing rick idk y i havent already watched this lol
Beautiful tones. Beautiful family!
Dude, RICK...everything you do is always KILLIN man!!!!
I feel frickin blessed that I get to be subscribed to your channel and really benefit from your musical knowledge and experience! And my kids watch with me (17-13-9) (piano, trumpet, recorder) (boy, girl, boy).
Thank you Rick!
Nice, Rico. Simple, sweet, and honest.
I've often wondered if the truly great composers of the world reach a point where technical wizardry is bypassed or becomes so instinctual that the soul can feel whatever it wants, and the composer simply becomes the "messenger." To me, Shostakovich was the greatest emotional composer I've ever known. I've never heard a composer that can MAKE ME fall to my knees weeping for no other reason than the sound of his music. Symphony #10 first movement gets me every time. It's those damn violas. Anyway, keep on teachin', Rico, I love it !! AND I do not EVER take what you are doing for granted. Thankyou and your family for allowing us into your home and your lives. Hey Dylan !!!!!
Thank you so much for the information you are giving out. I play an African style marimba - I only have the notes of the C Maj scale. You are kicking the door open on the potential of this instrument - starting with modes, and now chord structure. I have so much to learn, and I am excited and grateful.😎
Beautiful stuff, and effective demonstration of the principles!
Thank you so much, Rick! Again and again!
Rick thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Thanks again Rick...the quality of your information is truly inspirational..awesome!
That mini composition is beautiful. It reminds me of Aaron Copland. I have a feeling that he uses these spread voicings with dissonance a lot in his music.
You are like the greatest teacher ever. Your knowledge seems unsurpassed, although I don't know that to be a fact. I'm extremely happy I found your channel. I wish you great success. Even more than you've had already.
Thank Rick that was fantastic, I sort of already half understood some of that just from playing, but you really succinctly put a lot of things I couldn’t understand from theory I’d read. Excellent!
I came across your video, Rick, quite by chance..and as a harp player myself (only got white notes, me!) stuck with it through the theory, and thank goodness I did. Your example of combining the theory-idea, together with just simple film shots hit the mark and great globby tears welled up within fifteen seconds.... Thank you again for a really inspired video. Andyharpist in England.
Thank you so much! I have just started to look into this topic with my teacher. Very helpful!
Your videos are amazing, love them!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge Rick! Knowing how to create and comunicate emotions with music, brings us the possibility of favour the well-being of people.. It's really interesting. Thanks again!
This is absolutely awesome. Great work.
dude! you're like a living music encyclopedia! rock on
Superb as always Rick. And what a delightful family you have! ♥
Thanks for this Rick. Opens up some new colors of expression for me. I love the tension that dissonant voicing creates, and it works particularly well in dance music.
This will be an awesome challenge for me to develop my compositional craft. Thanks, Rick!
I don’t have extensive knowledge about music. But I’ve learned over years that my music preferences always heavily gravitate towards emotion (preferably in minor keys) via dissonance & resolution. I’ve been trying to identify what component my ear liked to hear and why... this video clarified a lot of things for me!! I’ve been trying to understand music on a deeper level and this has started to help me achieve that! Thank you so much for making this video!! Wanting to also understand accidentals better and if this correlates at all with this video!
I’ve also noticed that I appreciate a lot of Spanish & French music because in my opinion, they like to use these kinds of techniques! One great example is the song “XY” by Vitaa & Slimane. I’d love to sit down and speak to someone who has an extensive knowledge in music...it’s just so intriguing to me!!
Rick, Great Lesson, Thanks for posting !
The way you explained the concept and played your piece was so beautiful 😊
Subscribed 👍🏻
hey Rick, would love to see your take on gospel and neo-soul! thanks for posting these lessons because I love to learn.
Thankyou for sharing musical knowledge and information
Another excellent video! Congrats on the 100k:-) Go Rick Go!!
Otherworldly voicing is my all time favorite. The family montage with the music was beautiful.
Beautiful and very creative. Thank you Rick for sharing your knowledge.
Blessings,
Cyndi
Very nice! Beautiful collage, nice musical piece, and great lesson!
Great stuff. I learn something new every day. Old dogs keep learning so long as they learned to learn in the first place.
What a great video. This is amazingly educational.
Great vide Rick! Thanks.
Love this!
GREAT video as Always! Thanks!
Never seen or met a person who has more knowledge than Rick. Just amazing...
Beautiful music!
Rick you are a true teacher, thank you so much
such a great video, thank you for this and the rest of your content they have helped me so much in my musical journey.
you are amazing, thank you!
Amazing video Rick thank you
If all the other UA-cam channels were deleted that would prevent me from wasting time watching garbage videos when I should be watching yours. Thank you for sharing your knowledge so freely.
I never knew that scale degree 4 had more tension than scale degree 5 and that is was so similar to the tension that degree 7 has due to it's half-step. Also the "V 7 wanting to "expand" to its tonic resolution" made me say "oh" out loud.
I watched 00:45 4 times, watching your right hand... and it clicked. Cool.
You are opening my mind to new possibilities and understandings, building on the knowledge foundation I learned in community college music theory classes... which, until this moment, have been 99% useless to me when it comes to application (aside from chord theory).
Thank you.
Man! I love your videos! Thank you so much for teaching me all of this (your a great teacher!)
I got goosebumps, jeez Rick! Thanks for another fantastic video.
You're such a genius Rick. Thanks!
We can’t sleep, everything is music to us
What a beautiful family!!!!!!
Great work, loved the explanations... would love to hear a more minor sounding example of this, kinda the way you played the guitar in this video, that was great stuff.
Repition with development and relative consonance/dissonance, as well as development of intensity throughout a song. There has to be a balance of predictability and a sense of surprise. Once the mind attaches meaning to something (especially lyrics) coming back to the chorus can smack the emotion button hard. Recently I was trying to figure out why “No One is To Blames” by Howard Jones always brings me to the edge of tears. But I understand the song in the context of a gentle summer day when I was coming of age and started having crushes. It always felt just like that. The best way to move towards all that is write. Study yes, but write your own stuff and keep doing it. If it takes five hundred a thousand songs, it will be well worth it.
Beautifully done Rick
That was great. Thanks, Rick.
Thanks for the info, it just gave a technical understanding to my recent works.
