The Last of My Guitar Collection! ...The End? 

My Goldfish are named Major, Minor, Dorian, Lydian and Diminished. The only way I can tell them apart is by their scales.

Crazy how they animated Rhett into the green screen!

The Where’s Rhett Shull series begins.

You have to love when your buddy tells you about your own gear...

Thought that Vox looked familiar. I have a EKO 12 string.

Wish Dave had a guitar channel

My first guitar was a classical with nylon strings. I paid $35 for it at Sears when I was 16. I gave it to a friend maybe 30 years ago and I'm still sorry I didn't keep it. ARGH! I'm consoled by the beautiful Taylor that I have now, but of course I wish I had my first guitar too. Don't let go of your instruments, folks! You'll never completely get over it.

Hey Rick....regarding the electrical tape on the "Keith Tele", years ago I replaced the pick guard on an old strat I've had. Apparently the sandwiched construction of the new guard made for a rather efficient storage medium for static electric charge. Merely brushing your fingers across it's surface created all manners of clicks and pops. I remember placing a temporary layer of electrical tape on it. It worked rather well. What you have on that guitar may be on account of something entirely different, however I thought I'd mention my experience none-the-less.

Hi Rick. Great to see a couple of your basses. I was wondering if you’d consider doing a few videos on common things musicians on different instruments would do in the studio which would annoy you as a producer. Something like “what not to do when you’re tracking bass / drums / electric / acoustic / vocals” etc.

I appreciate you Gents-exploring the amazing possibilities-so I don't have to ! Massive respect for all that Rick, Dave and Rhett have accomplished -here's hoping that it only gets Better for us all from here !

Hey Rick, I think Flea would be an awesome interview for you, and if you do, it would be interesting to find out about his learning piano later in life, and his trumpet playing as well. Would also love to see a Yo Yo Ma, Branford and/or Wynton Marsalis and Herbie Hancock or Chick Corea interviews

I just finished watching these 3 videos in succession. You have justified my guitar collection. I'm mildly surprised that you don't have a Gibson Firebird, or a Gretsch in your collection. I'm not typically a bass player, but I bought a cheap Gretsch Electromatic short scale bass, and I was blown away by the functionality and tone of this thing, I put flatwounds on it, and it's a beast.

OK Rick on the Ricky, any early Rush would be greatly appreciated, anything! I would love to hear you go through Hemispheres.

Appreciate the guitar tour! So many guitars that you can't remember your names? Also liked the wild Rhett sighting, cleverly hidden behind Dave! Thanks!

Great start! Love it.

Rick is missing 2 things: A Fender Telecaster with the mirrors and a Dragon jumpsuit! A proper oldschool Page fan gotta have a Dragon jumpsuit! :D Cheers.

Dave or Rick, Rick or Dave can always tell you apart by the tone/attack under your fingers on any guitar you play! Play on!

I really dig that second guitar there - the semi-hollowbody one. I have a soft spot for guitars like that, really awesome. One other thing - in response to the tik tock video - if you want to hear something new that actually sounds *really* good and contains lots of guitar, check out the Flaming Lips brand new album "American Head." I just heard it for the first time yesterday and its already up there in my list of favorite albums of theirs - as good as their last album "Oczy Mlody" (that's another really good one you should check out if you haven't heard it - came out in 2017.

I'd consider learning how to play a instrument if i could just hang out over there at Rick's place. Seems like a good hang out place. Thank you for the video.

Rick Beato - so glad to hear you dig early RUSH. I love early to middle RUSH and even some of their later stuff. Cygnus X-1 is one of my faves in addition to the Permanent Waves album.

My 98 Stingray is the exact same way Rick. Locks in and holds tune perfectly! I was touring in the VERY early 2000's and just as a joke, checked the tuning for an entire summer and never touched it! It held perfectly all summer! To this day, they neck is as I srt it up back then! Just LOVE that bass! It shares duty with my prototype Tim Landers (Peavey) TL-5!

Just bought the Vox country and western on reverb! Can’t wait to get playing it!

As soon as Dave struck a chord on the Goya it reminded me of Pat Martino's tone.

Outstanding. I wish I could collect drum kits like Rick collects guitars. That Fender 12 string and the Danelectro...Yabba Dabba Do!

I have a 1972 Fender Jazz bass neck, maple and fretless. It is just like it was when I snagged it in 75. You should buy it and have Dave connect it to a sundry bass.

Rick your 4003 is a 4003s Mono output, dot fingerboard, no binding, sweet Macca specs. Squire had the '64 Rose Morris RM1999 (same as a 4001s).

Congrats on hitting 100K subs on another channel!

Hey, that was fun! Did I miss a video where you guys showed that lovely Gibson archtop you used for one of your Joni Mitchell videos. I loved the sound of that guitar.

Tony Levin has been using 5 string StingRays a lot for years, too. Sometimes a low B and sometimes a high C.

Nice! The end…until the next buying trip. :)

That EB with the birdseye neck is stunning and probably sounds as good.

Ha!... I was watch an amazing interview with Rory Hoffman from 2012, but had to pause it to hear any guitar geek nuggets that Dave puts out ~

What do you mean the end Rick you have only just got started love the channel my friend it's fantastic keep up the great work love and respect God bless from the UK 👍👍👍👍👍👍🌟😀😀

Hi Rick, thanks for the cool video! The relaxed acoustic tune you’re playing in the beginning, what is it? I love it!

You got a hell of a guit collection Rick! 👍👍😎😎😎😎😎🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

Agreed Keith, what have you discovered you can't possibly live without Rick. 😂Respect and stay healthy all

Dave is awesome! That is all.

LOL, on the intro, and love all of your guitars, Mr. Rick.

I had a similar experience playing somebody else’s fanned fret 6 string bass It really is intuitive and you just adapt

Next video go thru Dave's collection, don't stop this...

I have a 1960's EKO 12 String. A little beaten up but very easy to play and sounds sensational.

These were some very cool 3 videos! Now do the same for the amps! That will take a few more videos! hehe!

I hope you do an amp collection video next. Then maybe outboard gear?

Love the Aerosmith T Dave. I had one of the originals back in the day.

Hey Rick ! Love the video ! Dave seems like such knowledgable guy, I’d love to hear about Tokai guitars, especially the LP models, if you ever feel like doing such video ! Much love !

Well, after seeing your amazing collection I’ve noticed a few missing models for the next round. You need get yourself a Firebird, Jaguar, Gretsch and(as Rhett will surely agree) a Novo. Love the collection man.

Yes! Yes I DO want to play Jobim! 😀

There's no better way to play Latin-style music than on a nylon string. That one sounds gorgeous.

I have an EKO acoustic with a set neck, very nice guitar with super comfy neck almost like a shred machine in acoustic form.

Don’t forget that upright bass as well!

Enjoyed!

I was 10 or 12 years old when my brother got those first two Led Zep albums (I later got III with my own money when it came out), and hearing the acoustic part to Ramble On brings back such memories ... The Abasi reminds me, a friend recently posted a Rickenbacker slanted-fret (NOT fanned, they were all at the same non-90-degree angle) Rickenbacker guitar, and I remember as a teen being in a music store in Rome, Ga. (there were two big ones, I forget which one this might have been) about 1974-1975, I played one (the salesman practically shoved it into my hands, apparently they weren't selling well). It did feel a bit weird but he of course said "you get used to it." Those Basses ... WHY DIDN'T YOU PLUG THEN UP AND PLAY THEM? You could have played the bass part to Ramble On, dubbed in the guitar part, oh it would have been so great ...

I have a '72 tele deluxe reissue (same 3-way switch as the Keith tele) and mine is broken as well. Fender really needs to do some QC on them lol.

So beautiful guitars

Hey Rick, The guitars bring back memorize of old Vox and Goya. The tele tape is probably to dampen hollow sound of pick guard when you hit surface strumming.

I am surprised not to see an Epiphone Casino in your collection considering that you are big fan of the Beatles.

Thanks fellas! Im looking at something for Eb, an acoustic video next?

Keep in the bloopers, so great

I was waiting to see a guitar with active pickups. You might need an explorer with active pups!

nice see you playing some brasilian stuff! :)

Cool stuff

I noticed the resemblance between the Eko and the Vox, but i didn't know they were both made by Eko. I've got a couple new Ekos and they're amazing, you should check them out, especially the Mia 018 (very similar to the Martin).

The tele is from the Blacktop series. I have the HH Strat version and I love it. The switching on the strat lets you get split coils on the 2 and 4 positions which gives the guitar a huuge range. I wanted a guitar I could learn on which wouldn't break the bank that could be any guitar I wanted atm. Need a tele sound? got it, how about a hot pup gibson? no prob, strat? gotcha covered. The store I ordered it from didn't even know about the range of this and a couple of the guys that work there immediately bought the ones they had in stock for their gig rigs. I don't know why fender only did this with the HH strat, but the others only had a 3 position switch. My little secret, "one guitar to rule them all"

Makes me think of Buddy Millers Italian guitarrs. So fuckin' cool.

That Rhett shout out cracked me up...

Good to see Bobby Moynihan from Saturday Night Live has landed well.

Use your Goya to do a breakdown on Morricone's "Spaghetti Western" soundtracks!

Rick you obviously need to buy more guitars... so you can do more vids like this..:)

That Goya Hollowbody is insane. But now I'm confused. Which one of you is the real Rick Beato? ;-)

Hey Rick: I'd love to hear the 3 Amigos play some covers (or originals). 3 songs with each of you playing bass on one of them.

The tele was sounding really great.

I'm a Gibson guy myself, preference for humbucker fitted or hollow bodied models, acoustic I favour jumbo bodied vintage models, any make as they all sound different after surviving that long, love me a 12string too, on electric fender sneaks in with the jazzmaster

75 Telecaster ,. Maple neck. Black... If you see this, it's mine. Solid black. Florida

⚓️ Thanks Rick Dave 😎

Rick have you ever interviewed Jeff “Skunk” Baxter? Would be great to hear him and his stories of working as a studio musician and of course Steely Dan and the Doobie Brothers. He also has so many connections to producers, engineers and other musicians. Just a thought. 👍

Wow man! I am amazed by the Jimmy Page guitars. I want them. I am mexican and I have never owned a mexican fender... Great stuff.

I have a strange story to tell: Firstly I need to say that I am a drummer and I don't know much about guitars. Last night I dreamt of the Abasi guitar. prior to the dream I didn't knew there is a guitar company called Abasi and I didn't knew much about Tosin Abasi. In fact the only time I saw him was in the discussion with Rick, Tim Henson and Misha Mansoor and I also heard a song from Animals as Leaders one time. So this is how the dream went: I see the Abasi guitar and I stare at the logo (which I haven't ever previously seen) then I suddenly make the connection with Tosin Abasi and it makes a lot of sense. That's as far as I can remember. When I woke up I remember the dream and the unique guitar shape seemed like it could've come out of a dream and also the connection with Tosin seems unlikely. Then I watch this video and I realise that I dreamt real things. I don't how my subconscious mind made all those connections and how Rick made this video right after I dreamt about it. I probably saw the guitar somewhere and I subconsciously memorized the logo.

Who is Joe Beam ? Oh Tom Jobim you meant (just kidding) ! Love your show. BTW Yamandu Costa is a great 7 string-guitar player

I love these videos

Did the Guild come with the faux alligator HSC? I wonder if Tony Levin still touts his no G-string MM 3 stringer? That idea has floated around in my head for a couple of decades...

I have fifty or so musical instruments, but I am not a collector. I'm a player, albeit a bad one. But I have fun. And any guest in my house can play any instrument I own, even if they want to hurt their back wearing an EDS-1275.

That Tele has a 3-bolt neck!!! I had a 1973 Strat with a 3-bolt neck, I forget what years they made those, but it wasn't very long. I still have my 3-bolt-neck '75 Fernandes Strat clone (!) ...

Holy shit! I have a vox just like that i got from my grandfather, never seen another one

Hi Dave, and Dave :0)

Da hell? Bolt on Semi hollow 335 ish electric guitar....then a BOLT ON VOX ACOUSTIC? WTF lol, that one got me. A bolt on acoustic. Never saw that before!

that poor homely abassi,it's mother loved it.

I'm considering one of the new Tim Commerford signature Stingray basses. I need a Music Man in my arsenal 😁

I want that Allan Holdsworth guitar!! Please sell it to me!😊

I’d like to see a video on the highest and lowest gauge strings you can possibly use on an Electric and an Acoustic Guitar in Standard Tuning 🎸🤟😎 ☮️

What is this: the party video after party? Fun times!

Now amps .. pedals .. studio stuff .. Like That !

The Girl Of Ipanema. How beautiful is the Bossanova. A fav Jazz genre for me. Authentic and sexy.

That's funny the switch on your Tele didn't work. I had a 72 MIM Tele and had the exact same issue!. On another note I regret selling my Dano DC3 as I have never seen another one for sale. Ah well, life goes on. Nice collection but I think you need another bass or 3. A fretless, 8 or 12 string (since you're a pearl jam fan), and an acoustic!

The Fox acoustic is my favorite. I’m such a Page nerd . If there’s one guitarist I’d want to meet more than any other it Jimmy Page.

Hi Dave Beato!

Going to browse Reverb now for the next 5 hours

Neat guitars. (I love obscure Japanese guitars.) Would you recommend your theory book for someone who when it comes to music theory really needs to learn at the most basic of levels? It's something I've been struggling for yrs to understand. When it comes to theory I either have a mental block or a learning disability. I just don't understand why I can't overcome this problem.

@rickbeato2 what is the specs on the classical guild mentioned? That tone is heavenly. Would love to know what the wood is, if there is neck reinforcement, etc.

Gotta get me one of them Danos

Rick, I was especially digging the Fender 12 - I think the original was called a “Villager”. Why does it have the “split” pickups? Looks sort of like the arrangement on a P-Bass. Didn’t realize Jimmy Page used the Fender 12 on “Stairway” - thought it was just a Rickenbacker 12 with everything set as bright as possible.
