Actually the best thing about this video? Seeing a dad and his son having a great time together with music :-)
he could tune all pianos. He doesnt even have the slightest scoupe to sing back a note. Hits them dead center. More power to him!
I love how Dylan doesn't even care, hahaha, maybe thinking in something else. Incredible!
He really doesn't care :)
I saw your video about Dylan's story and it's awesome. You should make a documentary and sell that to a network like HBO or call them to produce it, they are really into this kind of story. I wish you and your family the very best!
+Nestor Rasgado Thanks Nestor! Great idea :)
@@RickBeato I'm new here. Do we have this documentary?
@ That's be awesome ! :P
I couldn't even make up answers as fast as Dylan comes up with the right ones!
I've seen so many world class people that I've become almost desensitised to the world's best at anything, but I've never seen perfect pitch like this! Never knew how far you could go because most perfect pitch people I've know are lazy and don't do anything with it other than swing it in other non-perfect-pitch-musicians' faces to brag about how much better they are. This is truly amazing, I really wish I had perfect pitch now!
What's so amazing about this.. I could do this easily. Not bragging or lying or anything.. lots of people can do this.
@@CommunistBearFighter where is your video?
Oh my goodness, I thought I had perfect pitch. Dylan has clearly outshined me
MA NON FA RIDERE FAI UN MEME
Getting a kid started on ear training (naming notes & chords) by ear is a big accomplishment. Pretty soon we'll see Dylan on the piano playing songs...
Just amazing. What a gift. I’d never do anything else. Of course, it’s easy to just say that.
Dylan, may you find all the joy in life you deserve because I’m sure you’ll be dishing it out in bucketloads for all of us throughout your life. Best wishes!
Amazing. I can watch this all day
The Rick and Dylan duo !!!! Magnificent
The best hearing demonstration I have ever seen!!! Oh my goodness!!!
Brilliant! I look forward to see what Dylan will be doing in music in the very near future. Best.
Fabulous as Always, Rick!
Thanks Foxy!!
I know Dylan’s aural skills are astonished but what a teacher he has, very inspired!
Rick - this is just amazing and very inspiring! Playing jazzfusion all the time for my little daughter - 8 months old. Not aiming at your thing, but just because I play and listen to it all the time.
Maybe it will expand her hearing capabilities just a little bit over time :)
Cool Steffan- Try some Allan Holdswoth. My kids love him!
Sure thing! :) check my channel if you like... we're often listening to it :)
Imagine when he becomes a teenager and Rick does this!
"Can you name the notes in THIS chord?"
"No, it's not as if I have perfect pitch or anything (!)"
Rick, your son has a metaphysical talent ;)
Amazing!
We as kids discovered early how to do hard days night chord. When we closed our smaller keyboard and left the music stand open, it would plunk down a set of black keys and it sounded like the beginning.
this is so cool
does he have only one ear ???
It works as one ear :) one actually hears off key haha!
so amazing!
Incredible
Hi Rick!
I'm just wondering wether you have some guidlines or routines for Dylan, as: "try and sit by an instrument once a day", or something like that? Or is his music practising due to his own curiosity and interest entirely?
Great content on your account by the way, some high quality stuff! Keep it up!
Hi Joel- Dylan practices about 20 minutes of piano a day and that's it. No ear training practice believe it or not :)
very impressive! now the first question that jumps to my mind would be something like how much of this is due to the parent's innate abilities and one or the other or both's super dedicated and persistent coaching, and how much the same basic program would increase cognition with the child of a different set of parents lacking the same skill-sets, intellectual firepower and dedication as this set of parents---the so-called Mozart effect fad seems not too far away if you change some of the specific variables here--- but I'm fascinated, and Dylan's range of impressive abilities makes an amazingly persuasive argument that there's more than good, ambitious parenting and God-given, congenital gifts at work here---
The parent is me and I played Dylan high information jazz and classical music from 5 months prenatal until 2 and interacted with him while he was listening. All the theory he learned when he was 4 and 5 after I realized he had perfect pitch. I have 6 siblings and my wife 3 with 18 nieces and nephews and no one with PP. Check out this video ua-cam.com/video/GoIofNSgeHs/v-deo.html it explains it more. Thanks! Rick
Hi Rick- thanks for the additional info. I knew there was ear and theory training involved as well as PP as he was able to identify things like the two polychords in succession and he spelled/note-named them as such (4 triads). I was also very impressed with the range of his intellect and abilities beyond all that, and like I said, seems a very good argument for your method indeed--yet I suspect you're special parents too, and I think that plays a huge role as well! And seeing as how his birthday just passed, I thought I'd mention the amazing father and son team of George and Charles Ives, and the visionary range of "experiments" the father introduced the son to...well that son eventually not only made the father's dreams manifest, but also pushed the very horizons of music to places no one had before---so what we teach our children is just as important, if not more so, than any congenital superpower they may have been born with IMO
Rick Beato Hi can you please repost the link for the explanation you mention, I'm not able to find this video. Thanks.
I'm curious if you ever tried to tune a digital keyboard to A=432 Hz or some other number a few cents above or below concert pitch (440)? If so, I'm curious what happens? Can he or others with perfect pitch tell a note is flat or sharp by even a small fraction and possibly identify how many cents deviation? I can see people wanting to take this to extreme measures like detuning a single note in one of those 6 note chords!? Absolutely amazing work Dylan AND Rick!
Rick, does Dylan hear the polychords as individual notes, two separate chords, or one conglomerate sound?
He can hear them as single notes or as chords. It all depends on how I ask him to do it :) is soon as I play them for him he knows what they are pretty quickly. The chords that are trickiest are ones that have really odd dissonance in them. The first video as a polycord section that is probably the hardest of all the videos. All the notes are in one small range and it's really hard to distinguish the voicings.
Does your book have the exercises you and your son do? for ear training.
thanks
Soooo goooood
Rick not to detract at all, as this is THE most amazing ear I've ever seen on display. Just that I'm also thinking of prodigies such as Joey Alexander and Alma Deutscher, and wondering if and in what way your amazing son will apply his superpower to make music.
How do you teach this? Would love to teach my kids one day.
Incredible! I saw your video clip on Outrageous Acts of Science today. There is a lot of controversy about the opening chord for "A Hard Days Night". Even George Martin has stated that he could not remember how it was done. Do you think Dylan could solve this mystery?
I'll ask him :)
Well it's been a month, have you had a chance to ask him the opening chord for "A Hard Days Night"? :)
Unfortunately phonies cant do real work
Impressive! I'm lucky if I can identify an A from 2 or 3 other notes, never mind picking out all the tones in a polychord.
Dylan is amazing :D How does he manage to name polychords I can only identify 4 or 5 notes at most
Hi Jessica-His dad (the old guy in the video) used to teach ear training and theory in college. Once I discovered that he had perfect pitch, I wanted to see how much practice would improve his ability to hear more notes faster. Do you have PP? Rick
Would it be possible for me to receive those tips too, if I send you an email? :)

@@RickBeato The “Old Guy” should go into the music business with a name like “Beato” =:0)
I hope you are a proud dad.
(Rick, rubbing hands together) Now we hit the casinos.
Hello Rick, first awesome video i love it !
I have some input for you, i think if you would like to go to next level with Dylan you should try something a bit experimental: it requires a midi keyboard and an automation that is gonna make pitches "flutter" or "variates".
Lets say you're losing half a step every 30sec and 30sec later you're back at the normal pitch. I saw some videos and the point was that people with perfect pitch can be "dragged down" or "transposed" if you vary the a=440hz really slowly it would be so interesting to see his reaction when everything is half a step lower than before...
You know what i mean ? Can you put a capo on dylan so smooth that he doesnt recognize...?
I'm asking that because he reached such a level that the experiments would then makes sense and we rely on that and maybe say that perfect pitch is kind of flexible, or not. Maybe he will recognize, maybe not. Of course, he shouldnt know before...
Have some great music ! :)
Hi Leonard- i've seen that study about perfect pitch being dragged down. I never saw what the point of that study was and why they would even care to do that. Please don't take offense to that! That was done with adults that probably don't have as good of pitch perception as children do because they're hearing is not as acute as a young child. When I play Dylan something that's three cents flat he knows it's flat something changing pitch does not confuse him. It would seem to be a better use of time to teach Dylan more harmony so he can understand better what he's hearing. Functional knowledge of music is much more important than doing brain experiments with pitch perception. I hope you're not the one that conducted the study :) Haha! Thanks!! Rick
+Rick Beato
Thanks for your answer ! Its interesting
No offense of course we're here to talk and share
Have a good day !
+Leonard Lucchesi I actually find it fascinating that they would do a study like that. What I'd be interested in seeing more of his studies on absolute pitch and memory. People with absolute pitch have incredibly good memories but there's very few if any studies discussing this. This connection of how musical aptitude influences memory seems to be a much more fascinating subject than some of the other studies that have been done. What are your thoughts? Rick
+Leonard Lucchesi On second thought, I am going to try an experiment with a MIDI controller set to semitones. I'm curious :)
+Rick Beato
Hey thats awesome !
Ah i know sometimes i can sound kind of bossy but i'm just a bit a wierdo thats all thats my way, it is really hard to explain, what i meant is exactly what you said in your last message, perfect pitch is a really interesting subject but it's hard to work on, there's not a lot of information about it and so on..
So i thought with the level of your son you can do awesome things for that subject, i would really understand that a father wouldn't want, your son is not a laboratory rat and also we have to be carefull about youtube the "buzz" thing, keeping a private life and so on...
Anyway it's really cool that you'll try to do a video about that ! I'm really looking forward to hear it... :D
PS
By the way i watched almost all your videos and i loved them, I heard from you from the first time some things like "a 4th can also be a dissonance" and so on... Really cool man
Cheers
I’ve said it before - cutest kids ever.
Proud papa. Who can blame him? Go Dylan!
Awesome videos. Dylan's awe inspiring. I'm curious how far you could get in these tests, Rick? If you don't have PP you could get a tuning note. Has Dylan surpassed your chord identification or no?
How is this inspiring in any way? It just shows how life is unfair.
Sel Poivre sorry but I don't understand how you think this is unfair. Would you want perfect pitch so you could show these kind of things to other people? Did you know pp people also struggle with music, in different ways of course, but saying having PP would make playing music easier for you is wrong
Let him and Jacob collier fight it out.
To the death
HE SOUNDS LIKE THE SMALL CHILD FROM THE LEGEND OF KORRA LMAOOO!!! WOAHHH
pure prodijy
Wow! This kid is SMART!
He also speaks 3 (or more) languages, can recite Pi to over 500 digits, and knows all elements on the period table in order. Either he was born a child prodigy, or his dad's learning program really works.
this kid OMG！
Some of those polychords are impossible to boil down to single notes for my ear. And I thought I had perfect pitch ahah
Most of the people I knew over the years with "perfect pitch" parents were musicians or music teachers. I know a few exceptions. I knew one musician that not only had perfect pitch but he could hear odd meters and polyrhythms.
Aliens do exist!
Whoa... Impressive ! What's the chord played around 4'50 ? I just understand "G augmented over "something" flat 5". What's that something that I miss ??
F#7flat 5 F# A# C E
+Rick Beato Thanks!
Isn't F#7b5 F# A# C E?
BTW this video and the other demonstrations have completely and utterly blown my mind.
I wanted to make something clear. I saw that you have said that a baby can retain his/her perfect pitch if exposed to unpredictable music all the time (Jazz Fusion, Bach, etc.).
Do you believe that is the case for all babies, meaning that if the baby is continuously exposed to this kind of music (including playing an instrument from a very early age) even before he/she is born will most likely retain his/her perfect pitch as long as their ear training continues?
Future music artist?
even, as an adult i cant hear like him
Dylan is Gau - Thien Nam’s best friendssssss
Okay he is beting meee
What kind of sorcery is this???
troye sivan
Next jacob collier
Plot Twist: It's all scripted and carefully memorized, and took several tries to record it. Jokes aside, this is astounding!
Rick, seeing Dylan's ability and intelligence I'd be wondering if he'd be interested in a game like Chess. I feel like he'd be great at that. I would def consider him a child prodigy why isn't he practicing more than 20 mins a day. With all this great talent to say the least doesn't he want to be a musician. Is he not sure of what he wants to be? I have a friend with perfect pitch and he cannot do the chords this quickly. Maybe he just sucks, hahahah (he's one of my best friends) or maybe there are different levels of perfect pitch. Seems like Dylan in his 20's is going to be unstoppable....he has the brains to be the very best why isn't he working hard towards that?
Hi Gonzalo- He just hasn't got the bug yet. He's only 8 and he already had all the tools to compose or play. What you really need is the passion. He is very smart in many other areas so he will figure out where to go with his talents. Thanks! Rick Btw, he does like chess but needs to get into it more.
Rick Beato Interesting...yes he'll do it and be the best at it. Whatever he gets a knack for. Thank you for responding. I love your videos Rick.
Also I wrote to you Gmail..I'd appreciate it if you could read it when you have time! Thank you :)
Rick Beato I just read this after these videos got popular on youtube again, and wow, it makes me glad to see that you dont want to force him into something like composing or playing if the passion is not there. Thats something my dad never understood.. he was a great musician and a genius, but was also very stupid. Glad to see how much your care about your kid
xD this is my cousin
dai ma non ci sono meme qua
... O_O
crime jazz stuff anyone?
You know what? AI can do better.
planesrift al?
Artificial Intelligence
here we go.. a kid whos talents is forced upon him by his dad. Almost the same as a father who pushes his kid to play sports.
if you've watched any of his live videos or recent vids with Dylan in it, you can tell he's not forced into it. He doesn't even listen to a lot of music. Rick just has a talented kid(s)
I think this is the most stupid comment of all, related to this video. It looks like you didn't understand anything.
