The Bonham sound was so unique and heavy, like he was using sledgehammers! Bonham and Alex Van Halen had the most unique sounding drums ever.

13:08 Now that's a whole different kind of bone.

Always loved Phil Collins drum fill on Townshend's Slit skirts..

Great video guys thanks so much and Rick my upbringing was very very similar to yours we are only about 2 months apart in age thanks again !

Great list. I would have found a spot of the Talking Heads' cover of "Take Me to the River."

one of the better foo fighters songs. i like when dave isnt swaying while he sings . cant imagine a sway in this song haha. great song writing. drums are tight as fuck. bass has balls going clean.

Emerald- Thin Lizzy.

Drown maybe SP best song

Como tiene que ser. Pink Floyd y Led Zeppelin. Siempre serán favoritos para mi.

1:55 Billy, stop being a surly dick.

and I also, what sources would you recommend for the historical analysis part? (I'm a rock guitarist)

I disagree Rick. Sting learnt everything from Andy Summers . Andy is a chord ninja 🥷. Just like Jake E Lee.

It's a real shame you can't do a wmtsg video for a lot of my favourite bands especially gnr.

Why are some Japanese Pop chord Prosions so addictive for example Nirgilis' Sakura.

Many thanks for this video... very helpful. In your "Beato Book" you label secondary dominants (pgs. 24-25) as A - V/ii, B - V/iii, D - V/V, and E - V/vi, but in the video it's A - VI, B - VII, D - II, E - III. Seems like calling them major sixth, major seventh, etc. is easier. Is there a quick explanation for the difference? Or, maybe I'm missing something Thanks!

what does he mean on V.H. guitar . A guitar on the right without reverb and one on the left with reverb ?

Lydian... Yep. I've learned something here today.

When I met George Martin in the elevator at Chrysalis on Sunset, he was producing America. He invited me to his office and he signed an autographed photo of himself to me. I’ve never thought of America since until now. Thanks for sharing.

It is so funny how many people (including myself) mouse clicked that calculator at the bottom of the screen and divided the hours a second time because they came up with 55 per day.

Very useful clip, will share

I suspect this happens often, just not with a high-profile artist. If memory serves, the Stones were in a similar situation with their song "Anybody Seen My Baby," which nicked k.d. lang's "Constant Craving" closely enough that Mick and Keith needed to share the writing credit.

Hi. I just subbed. Do you also listen to the R & B lists? I like SZA. I saw your reaction to the chords in her song. That’s pretty usual in soul/R&B. Would love to hear more of your reaction. I will go and look at your other videos.

That is your TOP 20, well everyone has their own tops.

The spread triad thing is interesting and something I haven't gotten into at all. They sound good. There's a few relatively simple points I wish I'd been taught way back when which I feel would have helped; Nashville numbering system, understanding basic song structures (how many songs are some variation on a I IV V) and why it's that way, relationship between major and minor keys, urged to start singing early, just to name a few.

found this today: January 2021 and he was already correctly complaining about too many phones taking video instead of just enjoy the concert !

Rick: I met the Cars at WYSP in Philadelphia the year of this record (I was 11); they led me into a career in music. Your raw enthusiasm for everything you do is such a tonic for us all. Great stuff.

“I am smellin’ like a rose that somebody gave me on my birthday death bed...”

Excellent (y)

I love his "who does that?" comments on unique things he finds in songs.

After watching for a few months, I don't think that you ruined anything. I wouldn't have followed you if I didn't think you were honest, or if you didn't care. All my love and gratitude.

Tom Scholz's sound is totally recognizable and unique, but I don't know if it's because of his genius as an engineer and the gear that he invented or the fact that all his performances with Boston have been heard so many times over the last 40-45 years that you can't separate the two. Boston=Scholz; Scholz=Boston. Dickie Betts is another player who is instantly recognizable who doesn't get mentioned much. Perhaps for the same reason as Tom Scholz in that he is so closely associated with the Allman Brothers Band.

"Like that" - checks if i'm on Instagram.

Can’t stop - red hot chilli peppers?

I used to see Jaco walking barefoot on Bleecker Street, with his caseless bass in one hand and a basketball in the other...sad

One thing you certainly have Rick is SOUL , thanks for posting all the vids you do.

Rick!! I actually really dig this song. The vocal has a tone I’m not crazy about but still a super solid vocal track with nice harmonies. The acoustic guitars sound nice with a cool progression. Distortion is rocking and makes the track come alive. Ahhh Bass! Great thick sound and the simple solo makes the song unique. What can I say about the drums? They sound just as fresh and solid as the other instruments. Sure I get what you’re saying about the song not being radio or just basic but if you compare what’s coming out today in rock n roll/alternative I enjoy listening to this song and it harkens back to when playing your instrument was more important than how fancy/technical you are. It’s about live organic music that takes heart to create. Hats off to you and the fellows involved.

I'm just wondering what happened to Sweet Child O' Mine by GnR? One of the most melodic solos of all time.

Breaking the law should have got honorable mention as well

Death metal boom!!!...Chuck shuldiner is huge!! In all underground metal

Hi Rick! Love your content and your approachable music theory for complete newbies. I would really enjoy it if you explored what makes Sade's music so universally enjoyable. Thank you for considering my idea.

There is one section of the chorus that sounds exactly like Whitney Houston's song "The greatest love of all, starting with "I decided long ago...." and Gordon's starting with "I never....". Not sure if there was a copyright infringement battle about it, but since it's only a small piece maybe nothing would come from it. Opinions?

I've spoken to two people who saw the Cars in concert during their heyday, and both said without doubt that it was the worst concert they had ever been too...that they sounded horrible live. I've watched a couple of videos of them live, and they don't sound that bad! Anyone else see them live? The 1 and 3 switch of the snare was probably their nod to Reggae during those days when the Police were channeling Reggae in their music.

Whenever I sit down to write music I occasionally unintentionally play something I’ve heard before. Even if I heard it a year ago or so.

Outlaws, green grass and high tides Molly Hatchet, fall of the peacemakers Why didn't either get an honorable mention? I listen to both when I go for a cardio walk three times a week simply because they are driving, plus they are head cutting. After all these years, I've never tired of these songs. How about a top twenty instrumentals? Scorpions, coast to coast SRV, Scuttlebuttin Def Leppard, switch 625 Tommy Bolin, Cucumber Jam Blackfoot, Diablo Loves Guitar Allman Bros, Jessica + in memory of Elizabeth Reed Tommy Dorsey + Gene Krupa, sing sing sing Edgar Winter, Frankenstein Rush, la villa Strangiatto ELO, fire on high (except for 'bad news' this is an instrumental) Pink Floyd, one of these days (q.v.) Eric Johnson, ah via musicon into cliffs of dover Jeff Beck, freeway jam Vanessa Mae, toccata und fugue (Mozart) she cuts heads, live, in a little black dress Led Zeppelin, Moby Dick + Bonzo's Montreaux (greatest band of all time) CDB, orange blossom special (Flat +Scruggs original + various, but Charlie's version really rocks it) This list is in no particular order, and any, further, suggestions shall be appreciated, thanks y'alls.

BB King. One note...

This was done in a hurry :(

The song is straight crap

I'm listening to these to get a better understanding of the flow and feel of jazz, I wasn't expecting the feels, and that tears would flow.

*DO VOCALS DO VOCALS* RICK!! DO THEM!

Tough list ..... I had Kansas “Carry On...” as #1 The Beatles..... and Eagles for other top picks. *** 80’s Had a lot of simple, but signature vocal intros too ... some just rants or belted notes ... Dokken - In My Dreams Kiss - Heavens On Fire Dio - Hungry For Heaven Def Leppard - Rock of Ages Ozzy - Crazy Train Chic - LeFreak

👍

hey rick, i always wonder what you'd think of this album i have listened to for many years. It's called This Binary Universe, by BT. it's ambient electronic and its very much an "experience" front to back. let me know what you think or if you have ever heard it

you just can't beat-o these videos. awesome tribute to great rock n roll. Thank you

Things move with such insane speed these days with everybody being online 24/7. It's very much in one ear and out the other within a day with this endless stream of "content".

Certain things I never knew existed as facts! Thanks for the great educational video!

They all sing in cursive, though.

I wish I'd have found this 3 years ago! Very interesting Rick

Thank you, man. This is valuable info

I have the same color and design on the les paul except it is a epiphone. The les Paul is so heavy! it feels like it weighs 80 lbs.

I saw Herb Ellis in a small jazz club in Edmonton around 1984. I remember him complementing us as an audience for sitting so quietly and enjoying his music.

Pop Music, take a cookie cutter, cut, paste, repeat.

how happy Rick is throughout it.

Beginner guitarist and glad you did this "Out of the ordinary". Hope to see more beginner level content.

hey Rick! first off I really appreciate what you are doing, I've been watching a lot of musical DEpost videos lately and so far you've been the greatest and the only one to really explain systematically how things work. however there's just one thing that I would like to know if you include your scales in the technique section or do I have to learn scales in abstract (meaning as a whole new section)?

Love your vids man! One of my faves is Savatage By the grace of the witch.

Computers have a main place to sell rock- new bands r not promoted, country was on its way out or at a low , these days its pg rated type lyrics & pc shows & imagery took over that culture

Bro my man is rly messing with my headphones and it's kinda trippy lmao

I Love it! Rick brings out all the closet Who Fanatics! The Who are at the very top of the list! A top-3 rock monsters band! Was recently watching the Who live at the Isle of Wight where they were in top form and gave a peak performance. The Tommy medley is brilliant! It's always so fun to watch Pete and Moon the Loon interact onstage! Enough can never be said about this band in its original form! They flipped the entire concept on its head, and thank god they did! More, please, Rick!

What makes these songs great is what makes these videos great. I love this stuff

My Simul 2:90 sets the air on fire. Obviously problematic.

Fade to Black by Metallica

I like singing along with the melody of San Michele off Blues For Tony. Such a nice tone. (Tony)

Ariana Grande is a great singer with the most generic and uninspired songs. Wasted talent, she needs a new songwriter.

Great video Rick, thanks. We are talking about great albums here not only a single hit like today's hits. Those albums you can listen them from start to finish and not found any downs on music quality.

Dumbest thing Rick Beato ever said...."Love you like that is not a bad song" hahahaha....

Quedo fuera Lavender de Marillion

I would like to add some bands n artists here who also have great guitar players, solo n songs like Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, NY Dolls, The Who, The Kinks, Punk bands, Glam Rock bands, Metal Bands, Blues players like (BB+Albert+Freddie) King, Stevie Ray, Rory Gallagher, Joe Bonamassa n, of course, Chuck Berry, etc

Rick... I have no idea what you've just been talking about yet you've identified every litte nuance that has drawn me to Sting and The Police over the years. I now feel justified about my belief that Sting is a damned genius. In future when I'm challenged about why I feel that way, rather than say "cause he just is" I'll send those critics your way. Love the video. I'll definitely be back for more.

Guitar hero has to have a hit song

I love Starway to heavens opening and it defiantly deserves to be where it’s at but I am a firm believer that in 1972 the greatest piece of art was ever made and it’s name was Roundabout.
