Rick, you're an amazing cat! Great player, teacher and "Giver. You have a "Gold" mine of knowledge that you unselfishly share with all who have the good sense to listen to it. I humbly appreciate all you share with us. Thanks Rick
Chapter 3 - Mode (Scale) Practice: Modes should be practiced every day to warm up the hands and develop fingerboard understanding.They should be practiced to a metronome in a variety of rhythms (1/4, 1/8 and dotted rhythms) paying particular attention to sound clarity. Through knowledge of scale fingerings (two and three notes per string) will enable you to execute even the most difficult passages. I would recommend practicing one scale group (Major, Melodic Minor or Harmonic Minor) per day, isolating one mode for the purpose of interval studies. Practicing too many interval or arpeggio studies in one sitting will only add to your confusion. - The Beato "scanned manuscript turned pdf, so you know I actually typed up all that text", page 153. {sprays silver paint into mouth and yells]: *witness me* I love you, Dick. =)
This has helped me so much in my practice routine. Thanks Rick. Very much appreciate the time you take to make these videos. Very nice guitar strap by the way. Martin from London UK
Rick! You're the best dude. I can't thank you enough for dedicating this channel to creating such great material. Can't wait to meet you in person one day
Exactly how I use the EH Freeze too. It does work for electric piano too. Also, in Latch mode, you don't have to keep your foot on the pedal. You simply let go right away after the chord. Play the chord though with all fingers at once rather than picking across the strings.
I picked up that EHX Freeze pedal a few years back, and it's the best $99 I had spent in a long time. Great for practicing, and playing it live can be a blast. Every time I've used it at a gig someone always asks how I'm getting that sound, or asks where my synth is for those pad sounds. Great piece of gear imo.
Rick I truly appreciate your videos. I have learned so much from you already and that in a space of 10 days. How I would love to be your student. However I am in New Zealand.
Lots of good ideas . Thank you for posting . Any one who has a keyboard with B3 patches can do same as Freeze pedal . Helps tremendously for any level of player ... beginner to advanced .
Hey Rick. Hope all is well. Very cool tip about using C major triad over the Bb7 chord. Really easy way to add the flat 5 sound in a subtle but cool way. Thanks.
Hey Rick, as always, a pleasure to listen. I'm still smirking about the elusive Larry Carlton Extractor VST. I believe you MUST patent it 😅😅 and also market the upgrade which, although a well kept secret, allows U21's the ability to date supermodels 😕. We would have been contemporaries back in the day but after a limited span in college days of playing guitar and drums I have re-entered the fold (at the tender age of 55), on the basis it's never too late. Currently very much a work in progress: using Ableton and Cubase along with a couple of standalone keys (Arturia Microbrute, basic Yamaha YPT and a Casio CTX 7200), a Squier Strat and Cort Acoustic. It amazes me the range of sounds, patterns and arrangements you can deliver for under $2,000. That set up when we were kids would have been unimaginable. I.e an operable studio capable of outputting comparable CD quality multi-track recordings. So my point is: if you can mention occasionally how affordable and relatively easy it is to express ones own creativity regardless of age (particularly age) or income then that would be great. I'm sure you've mentioned it many times but I've a lot of Beato videos to get through. I have derived so much pleasure from re-aquainting myself with music more than any other activity of late (recently retired), and I've been around the block and then some. Best, Fin Corrigan PS first came across Mr Carlton on Joni Mitchell's Hejira album in '77. Although he doesn't play on the track Coyote, it remains one of the wittiest and most intelligent tracks I have heard to this day on girl V boy.
Yes. (Heptatonic Arpeggios ( Nicolas Slonimsky concept ) is where the most variety is, all modal arpeggios, full 13th chords. Each mode produces a different 'full 13th chord')
GREAT LESSONS .SORRY THAT YOU HAVE TO PUT UP WITH SOME IGNORANT LISTENERS..THEY JUST DON'T REALIZE YOUR SUCH A GREAT TEACHER .I LOVE YOUR LESSONS.VERY INSPIRING.Thank you .
Hi Rick, if you get your tech guy, or it's an easy fix to DIY, to change the momentary foot switch in the Freeze for a latching foot switch it would sustain until pressed again.
Rick, dude you are the best ever. I've been playing for 20 years(no young punk)Why aren't you teaching guitar online(paid courses), I'll be the first one to join.cheers.
Hey buddy, really enjoy your videos. It inspires me to go through my practices with a different viewpoint. I've been trying to break some old bad habits from 28 years of playing. I'd love to hear your take on the Mr. Bungle record "California". It is an amazing record unlike anything I have ever heard. It is made to be listened to straight through much like the records of old. Anyhow, if you have time, give it a listen. I'd love to hear your response.
@@blakm3105 I think you mean, "Why ARE you calling a grown man buddy?" If you really need an answer, the term buddy doesn't ever indicate any idea of age. Never has, never will. He is a grown man, and so am I. Buddy is an amicable colloquialism that we use here in the south. It is the same as "Hey, friend" or "Hey dude." Now I am sure that you are just out of productive things to do with your life and engaging in a complete stranger's comment giving respect and appreciation for Rick's work is fulfilling some deep ego and mental masturbation for yourself. May I suggest picking up a guitar and watching more of these videos and make something of yourself. Good day.
@@bww2sFirstly, I feel no need to be as formal as possible just to comment something so simple as a question. Secondly, “Buddy” to me (not living in the South) seems like a pet name, or a “oh, I’m superior to you!” Kind of term. And I never said “buddy” was an age specific thing. I’m not even going to delve-into your childish, assuming tirade about what I do with my time. It’s none of your concern, and you should check yourself. Also, I never meant to offend you. It was just a simple question. Good day as well.
@@blakm3105 perhaps you should ask yourself why you felt the need to make the comment in the first place. What really were you trying to achieve? No harm no foul, but I always respond to things like this with a pithy and tongue in cheek answer. I think it is ridiculous to have these back and forth, so if they must be, then at least they can be entertaining. I don't know you, you don't know me. You're probably a great person and none of this represents your character. Rick is a great guy, I know folks who know him. The clue to my comment was context. When you read my whole comment, you find nothing at all offensive or even negative. So why would a person post a completely positive comment and tarnish it with an offensive term?? Doesn't make sense. Anyhow, peace to you, and if you ever come down south, you will be less likely now to be offended when someone smilingly calls you "buddy."
Hey,Rick! Been watching your videos and been subscribed for awhile now.great stuff! When i was a kid,my guitar teacher turned me on to a guy i dont hear people talk about alot and should,Berelli LaGreene.may have mispelled the name,but have you heard of this guy and would you cover him in one of your videos.amazing player,gypsy jazz/classical player.anyway,thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!
it's amazing that I've arrived at present day without ever having an ear or practice for intervals in chords that stretch further than thirds. and I'm practically mute or deaf that way, having no access or recognition for fifths and sevenths. I can't put out what I hear, or what I imagine or feel in my head. no movement is possible except single line melodies. must start with the diatonic chords and simple progessions.
Lionel Loueke uses this a lot! I achieve the same effect on a looper. I play the chord with volume of the guitar turned down, turn on the volume on the guitar (to achieve a slow attack effect) hit the pedal and count to four.
You started to talk about your new guitar but were distracted by viewers. I know it's an Eastman but which model? The one that comes the closest on their site features a funky looking pu. Thanks for the vids.
Rick gives out gold nuggets on a daily basis. Some negative comments imply some younger ,less mature attitudes. Rick is actually younger than me and I think he is inline with his pace, comments and bans. His attitude is bang on.
can someone give me a write down on all the scales that rick would want you to memorize?I mean I know like major minor, melodic, harmonic. modes but sometimes rick mentions things like octogonal scale or altered dominant scale. so i wanna know like all the different type of scales to be able to sing anywhere
Is the concept of 'above' the note referred ti the fingering? Like playin D-7 root6 Is considerate above because you fret with tour pinky instead of lets say D-7 root 5 where you fret the d with your index finger?
