Missed this one cuz I was at the BIG WRECK show. Can't miss Ian Thornley when that dude is in town!!

Great show!!! I love Rick's channel. BTW I usually watch/listen to the replay on the way home from work... Better than listening to the radio and it makes the drive home fun!!

Rick is such a wealth of knowledge. I watch everything he put on RU-vid

Great interview with Rick 😊

Missed it but I was about 4ft from Ian Thornley watching him shred. It was a good night.

Top class show thank you guys 😀👍

Your videos are always a treat during the week and a gift to all of us music and gear fans. Great show as always👍👍

As usual a Brilliant insightful show.

Amazing show as always...Rick's super great 🎸

Awesome vid!

Loved this interview so much...you guys have an awesome channel...your shows totally rock!!!! 💗💗💗

Jeff Beck... what is there to say about him. There is Jeff Beck and there is everybody else, he is in a class all his own.

I think I’ve watched this episode 2-3 times and listened to it while working on guitars etc at least 4-5 times… definitely one of my favorite episodes. I really enjoy listening to you guys and I follow Rick’s channel as well. Just wanted to say thank you for everything you guys do and for being so humble and interesting. Rock on from frozen North Dakota !!

Great show guys, Rick is really interesting and informative. When you were talking about Clapton it occurred to me that he formed Cream when he was 21. By then he’d already been in the Bluesbreakers and the Yardbirds. Astonishing 🤘🏻🎸👍🤘🏻🎸👍🤘🏻🎸👍🎸🤘🏻

Another epic episode! Rick is awesome! Love that he shares his love of music and knowledge with everyone! Marc & Dave, thanks for bringing the best guests and allowing us to go on these crazy train rides with you! I really enjoy hearing all the stories and learning! Also that was a GREAT Buxom Boost and Dirty Shirley tip at the end! We need an "Ask Dave" episode so he can tell us his thoughts on how to use his products and what works well together! \w/

Awesomeness!

Awesome interview guys ❤

Really good show good topic today thanks 👍

The problem is not that lyricist, can not write creatively anymore. Not exclusively, anyway. You also need to take in to consideration that, people no longer take the time to just listen to a song, and understand it. As life gets more technical and complicated, the simplest of messages become the hardest to hear.

You're upping your game! I just rewatched ep 15 / Tool Schism of What Makes This Song Great? from Rick, unbelievable. My little musicologists heart makes a joyful leap just thinking about it.

Rick Rocks !

I agree with Dave! My favorite VH tone is VH 2!

greeat episode!

@ 13:56, I was so interested and impressed with Orange Amps as well! I ended up getting a Fender Twin Reverb, of which has some interesting reverb to it.

Their laughter sounds like a rare species of aquatic bird.

Ricks video on the snare drum signal comparison with analog tape vs digital is mind blowing. We all talk about it but seeing the proof on screen is amazing. Just pull out old analog tracks, even for me on a 1/2 in Tascam 38. On a 2 inch with more space it’s pretty dramatic. As usual technology gets shoved down our throats. Ok, enough rant, great channel guys!

Just discovered this show a month or two ago, one of my favorites btw, and trying to play catch up as well as catch the new ones. At the section about “who buys cds anymore?” I’ve got to say that some do. The problem the band I’m in now has with that is that most people want vinyl. CDs sell alright, digital streams about the same, but most want to wait for vinyl, which we can’t really afford to do anymore due to the cost of it compared with other formats. I was in Europe a few years ago working the merch table for another band and it was the same. If it wasn’t available on vinyl they might buy a t-shirt instead or hesitantly but the cd. But they wanted the vinyl copy.

Regarding modeling....I have a Kemper and love it. I agree with what Rick has to say except he is forgetting that many of us are in bands that play primarily very small bars and clubs. I would love to have a half stack but it is not practical for these types of venues. It is just way too loud. Even with a 2x12 my sound man and the whole band struggled with stage volume. Now, I run my Kemper to FOH and have a powered monitor so that I still have some onstage guitar volume. We go home each night able to hear and the FOH sound is incredible. Kemper has it's place.

I am a left handed guitarist and play right handed. I didn't really give it much thought when I started, but later had the same exact thought as Dave on that. When I picked up the guitar, I naturally gravitated towards fretting with my left hand. I didn't know which way up it was supposed to be, I just did it. Maybe it was luck lol

Why does this channel have only 7.8k subs? It's insane, this is great stuff.

Three hour's. God bless you Rick.

As a lefty who plays right handed. I don't think it matters. You adapt if it's something you care about. And I first picked up a classical guitar at school. And, of course, they were all right-handed. And I had a will to learn how to play.

i guess the Rick Beato guy is really smart. the other guys ... , i give them lots of credit for doing the interview... everything is relative ! a trip is all the love these guys have spent for creating great audio and respect for music. insane .

Love the show guys, I am addicted now and have them running in the background working at home. When I buy gear now I pay a "WGT"...a Wife Gear Tax of a flat $200. I was afraid she wanted the same amount at the gear was worth but she offered $200 each time so I quickly said yes!

One thought I had to purge...the fanfare (and rightly so) for the BE-100 Deluxe seems to have “overshadowed” the BE-50 Deluxe a bit. Now, I’ll admit I own and gig the BE-50 Deluxe and so may be biased but, that amp is just STELLAR...think Rick ought to consider it as well.😎👍🏼

If you get Luke on...I’ll be watching!!! Toto’s coming off the road here next week I believe...maybe a good time to ask?🤷🏻‍♂️

Great show! I truly wish Rick would talk more about his accomplishments; the dude’s a badass

Rick Beato is such an incredible person, let alone musician, teacher, and student. I have the highest respect for him. Great show!

Cool Rick Beato on Tone Talk, btw just got a Friedman Wha really voiced well on all 3 modes anyone know what inductor used in the No More Tears Wha?

Steven Wilson does incredible remasters!

Sweet

1:34:33 D'Addario Balanced Tension 9's are 9 - 40 :)

As ever great conversation Mark and Dave. I thought Spotify would be the way to go but I can't listen to it happily do ended up with Tidal which is much better.

Include the Mic No Mo from Friedman in your video comparison Rick!👍🏼

I’m 41 and wrote 200 songs last year

Wow Rick, your mom was cool! :)

Great interview, guys! Rick is such a cool guy, hearing you three together talking music is a real treat. Cheers!

2:00:00 I do believe I heard in another podcast that human being creativity peaks between 15 and 25 y/o (and also matches the peak in aggressive behaviors and unbalanced moods). I’m paraphrasing here because I can’t find from which podcasts I heard it, but I do remember it was a psychological study regarding human behaviors; I remember it very well because it made me think about the fact it was the age I did created a lot of “new songs”. I always put that on the lack of knowledge, from knowing how to play an instrument, or how to produce a song, or even to listen many other artists, when I was younger, I wasn’t excelling on any of those domains; so maybe I was not “limited” by those either; while now, when I compose a new song, I immediately think about another song that use similar chord progression, or song structure, or tones, mix tricks, etc... and I probably unconsciously try to conform myself to those “standards”. So maybe, ignorance is blissed for creativity; (that’s what I’m telling to myself to avoid as much as possible music theory; therefore when I do mistakes, I just pretend to “explore” new horizons)

Hey, what does Rick say about Morrisetts Album at 2:20:05, cant someone help me out plz? thx:)

2:12:17 If the only instrument in the world was guitar, why not. So, not recommended for that reason alone. Piano, bowed instruments, woodwinds, it would be hard to transition over to them.

I wouldn’t say there’s a shortage of strong lyricists today. I would say there’s a dearth of a such lyricism, though, on Top 40 radio whereas in the ‘60s and ‘70s (and even in the ‘80s and ‘90s) there was a far greater variety of genres and artists in such stations.

Thank you for this show and all your shows talking about everything. My first good amp was the ADA MP1 then an elevan rack then in 2022 got the kemper stage. I really like it but I also dont like wasting time editing. So bought my syn-1 with a freidman Be and heard and felt that sound . Havent used the kemper since and so far 13 modules. I want to profile and compare for myself as an option. So glad Synergy is hear to continue the modular platform

Great music past 30? Soundgarden, King's X (including Dogman...which is also all Dual Recs)....

As always, another great show.

How'd you get mark to last 3hrs?

Just started waching for 30 mins. Marc, how do you like your new Steinberger Spirit? Cause I see one on top of 5150.

Pete Thorn, you should listen to this, (16:30 -) exactly what I was trying to say about IRs and moving air in your new amp demo, and you started asking who am I to give an opinion and so on. These words come from an experienced guy.

Great show Marc Dave Rick ! Rick''s channel :- ru-vid.com

Marc reminds me of walter cronkite!

I heard smoking weed stops people from maturing, basically staying 14 years old mentally...so that might explain Tom Petty's song writting ... he must have had better weed

Whats up with all the Ads?

RUSH......

Jeff beck stole from Tommy bolin and and ray Gomez!

You're upping your game! I just rewatched ep 15 / Tool Schism of What Makes This Song Great? from Rick, unbelievable. My little musicologists heart makes a joyful leap just thinking about it.
