For years, I told myself that I didn't need to learn music theory for playing guitar, then I started to realise that perhaps it might not be a bad idea to learn as it would give me a deeper understanding and inspire me to play better ... but I'm a terrible procastinator. After watching many of Rick's videos and feeling like an idiot for not understanding most of what he's saying when he talks music theory, I have decided to get my finger out and learn the dam stuff. So, many thanks Rick. Hopefully in a month or two I will be able to go back and watch your more 'technical' videos and have a clue as to what you're actualy talking about. Cheers for the inspiration.

It’s the same for me. I never told myself that but I wasn’t ‘aware of the existence’ of theory. I didn’t have access to it but videos really give a lot of information.

The playing at around the 16th minute was so relaxing I loved it!

One of the most important videos I have seen in a long time. Outstanding choice of examples.

thank you for bringing us such joy so often Rick!

Rick’s live is always like a uni lecture and I love it, learned so many ideas

Pedal point video was really good. I agree about using multiple genres. Three really seems to cover it well for me. All the improv examples work quite well. Thanks for the hard work Rick!

So glad I learned the notes on the neck just venturing into upstructueres now love the sounds

Very helpful and informative - thank you for sharing your time and expertise.

u are awesome. The lessons are amazing for composers like me as well for songwriters and improvisers like others. You are a huge inspiration in my life. Thanks

Woah, half step away from chord tone vs an octave up blew my mind 🤯

Great playing. Also that Les Paul sounds fantastic!

Thank you so much.. I learned alot... I love the melodic guitar so much

Hey! This is my first time catching you live!

Rick, Just had to say Thank You! for the amazing effort you put forth creating your book, (now a copy is mine, precious). It's amazing. Maybe you should have titled it "Everything your were afraid to know about music theory; but just had to ask!". Lol! Very comprehensive. Cheers!

Hi Rick I have been watching your show on youtube for over a year now. I discovered your channel by accident and I am glad I did! I am so impressed with your ability and aptitudes as a mult-instrumentalist. I also love how you embrace the genius of the Beatles. I do have a special request that I hope you will consider at some point. I am a huge fan of Bill Nelson and Be Bop Deluxe. How would it be if you feature one song showcasing the creative genius and virtuosity of Bill Nelson? Thanks very much John O'Dacre

Rick, I bought the PDF book on St. Pats day. I know the album didn't come with that special but I'd like to listen to it, even if it's not to save as a download. If you send a link, I will listen. Thanks

yo just got your book looking forward to reading it!

HI !! Warm salutations from Serbia! I've discovered your channel just recently and i have to say that i've found all the videos more than great. Terrific stuff, indeed. 3 days i've spent just watching em all and forcing my bandmates to do as well, as we are in the middle of recording of our new album. Really would like to see you continue with " what makes this song great" series and if you don't mind , ask you a question. Are you overlooking Guns n' Roses intentionally ( for some reason) or it's just "De gustibus non est disputandum" case? Again, great work, very useful for us who are into recording ,playing and producing rock music!! With best regards, keep on rockin' !!!

Probably biased here, but I absolutely love the way your Les Paul sounds!

Hi Rick! Nize playing!

It would be great if you do a video about that Google's Harmonizer Doodle where you can play riffs using Bach style or something like this,it's so cool and the pro you are i think you can pull great riffs for us

Rick, the guitar audio clipped throughout this video. All due respect. I listen through Beyerdynamic 770's, at conversation level. Not at all cranked. There was something clipping at your end. I love you man. You'll hear it if you watch a rerun of this video. Peace brother.

Rick ! I watched your mastodon ep .. I didn't know your from Rochester ! That's awesome . I grew up near seabreeze area ..hbu ?

sound is great ...backup....relax

It wasn't a voltage overload, it was distortion in the signal itself, so when you turned down, the distortion turned down too.

39:12 gaaaad the lucy in the sky melody is gorgeous...

Hi Rick, I get a little confused sometimes on how people talk about modes. You start at one which is the Major scale, modes are just starting at the different intervals. Like the 5th note of the Major C scale is a G note. Treat the G as the #1 note of the C Major scale. Also the 6th note of C Major A is the natural minor of C major, Just treat the A as the #1 note. This is how I learned all the modes, this is correct right???? I think it is important to Say the name of the parent scale when teaching a piece of music. Anyway, I really enjoy your video's and ordered your Beato Book. Rock On Brother.!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great information. Breaking up mix this end made it difficult to listen to. I really hope that gets sorted for the next clip. You are such a skilled engineer it is a shame not to hear your tone and mix without the breaking up. It's on vocals and guitar. I checked a few different cans and speakers and other clips. It is a problem your end or youtube upload volume problem. I hope you have the chance (and desire) to play your clip back so you can hear the clipping problem and tell me how you would describe what happened in more precise engineering language. Some lovely licks in there too.

Hmmmmm Rick if this is what I'm hearing correctly, quote - 'the ear wants to hear certain notes in only the order', we have heard it before yes, other wise we wouldn't know that sound to put that note into that order to put it into perspective same as we have heard it before? Not sure if I wrote that right ; }

Pretty sounding guitar

Rick you really are a master ....oh and Steve says hi

Rick, what do you think of Johnny Marr?

Cheese and grapes and Ricks great teaching, perfect!

Hi Rick, just joined

you should do a top 20 melodies video

Hey Rick, which pickups did you put in this 1960 classic? I have the same model and I'm not 100% satisfied with the 496r and 500t humbucker. Thank you.

Does anybody know where the last video about Key Changes with Rhett went?

Darn! I missed you sale by 24 hours.

Re: Bass, that is, unless you're Phil Lesh, who can manage to play for 20 minutes of a song (on some songs) and barely touch the root note. Somehow he makes it worse.

You repeated that one chord and I kept hearing Led Zeppelin's "The Rain Song." I had to get out a cd and play it...

Yea, its too bad he took it kinda personal for a second there.. cause whoever said it was distorting was correct and it happens no matter how quietly you listen. Now the sideburns comment was stupid as hell and I don't blame him for being annoyed about that cause that's just so irrelevant and subjective. Plus he's got great chops! (pun intended).

Distorted sound. Nice lesson.

What mean a melodic playing?

Rick, you are pretty interesting, but you must know by now that most people no longer read or listen to albums. Also, free mugs are plentiful in the world ! Your points concerning the music we all grew up with, have all been on point, how ever you must be aware that we who are surfs in the modern caste system- find complexities difficult to focus on unless they affect our overall survival. Lastly, the days of human to human instruction are coming to an end since most of the last generation has begun to absorb rather than learn, via electronic osmosis !
