    I was a Hungarian Minor before I turned 18.

    Another great video, Rick. Thanks!

      Rick Beato's video helped ME lose 473 lbs.......well, his videos and the strict dietary practice of ingesting only crack and croutons.
      THANKS RICK!! (AND crack and croutons.....couldn't have done it without YOUR help too!)

    Rick, a few things:
    1) Brilliant as always! Your presentation matches your knowledge and pedagogical approaches as a music teacher!
    2) The visuals you use to match each mode are breathtaking!
    3) You should release an album featuring all of the songs that you write for videos like this. I would love to own a copy of that and I'm sure many other viewers would too!

    Rick, I hope throughout the music community you are appreciated. Honestly, your knowledge of music is top shelf. Thank you for putting out product like this video in general. I’ve been playing guitar for almost 40 years and have stumbled on a lot of these principles through trial and error and having an above average ear but you explaining them really glued it all together for me. Thank you.

    God man, the way you explain modes and compose for them and so on is just so damn inspiring because just "learning a mode" is that the same as what do you do nor has any teacher or player I've come across. Leave me speechless 99.9% of the time. Thanks for sharing so much of your time, wisdom knowledge and experience with us all!.... that feels so unsatisfactory of a thank you, as well, lol

    • @mwdanny
      @mwdanny Před 3 lety +1

      I just left a comment similar to yours. Rick is such a good teacher. And the format he uses (thank God for CZcams) makes it so accessible.

    • @dmeemd7787
      @dmeemd7787 Před 3 lety

      @@mwdanny absolutely! I will say that Ben Eller has a really good channel (for guitar) as well! It's so hard to find musicians locally a play with because they're either too busy or already in multiple groups, it gets disheartening after awhile but alas. But yeah, thank God for the internet and his beato book and bundle are AWESOME!
      Quick side note, I recently got the 2014 remastered edition of Rocksmith and I will say that is an absolutely brilliant way to not just learn songs but learn techniques, regardless of how long you been playing, and you can pick modes, Keys, whatever can set it up to where you play on one part of the neck the whole part of the neck have it randomly Shuffle, change to prove all that stuff so it really really ingrained in your brain, it also does awesome with a memory so when you're unsure if it's going to be the right note, there's a higher chance it will be because even though you can't remember the cord name or the mode you're playing in, you'll end up staying in the right one. I really wish I would have had that teaching game, focused on modes a whole lot more when I was learning, etc. I have plenty of data and technique, but is no substitute for being driven play in practice like when you first start out so better late than never to come across all free channels and tools!
      Sorry for the long response, which I use voice to text with, which I did not proofread so hopefully Google didn't screw up the grammar too bad, it likes to do that, haha.
      😊
      🤘🏻🤙🏼 have a great one!!

  • @bordershader
    @bordershader Před 5 lety

    Great vid, again! I'm intrigued why you compose these tunes on piano given that (it seems to me at any rate) your primary instrument is the guitar. How refreshing though that you actually play the piano rather than just translate guitar playing onto a keyboard.

  • @Taylor-kd6lr
    @Taylor-kd6lr Před 5 lety +1

    To me, it’s amazing that you’re able to compose a piece in these modes, because to me they sound so dissonant. I guess mainly because of the chromaticism. Very creative on your part.

  • @JonGodsun

      ''only play bass''? Bass is just as difficult to perfect as any other instrument. Great bass players sit in the song and drive energy through the mix.Your band is lucky is they have grabbed a great bass player.

    Great stuff, you'd be amazed how many corridors you unlock in my brain which lead to further self discovery, unbelievable! I just experimented with C Romanian major starting with the opening chord F#, B flat and E right hand over a left hand chord C, D flat, G, A (I got them spooky eyes!), modulating to C Hungarian minor, B harmonic major, B melodic minor to B flat double harmonic major to B flat Eastern Transylvania minor, so spooky it consists of just ghost notes! I was reluctant to use the Vlad the Impaler Dorian Double-Sharp Spike scale as rumour has it it's lethal!! :-)

    Rick: I’ve been really digging (and digging into) your harmonic minor/major/superlocrian/etc stuff lately, going back to check many of your older videos on the subject. I find it to be really fascinating stuff - please keep ‘em coming!
    One question about the recordings of these compositions: are you really that good of a pianist (I’m thinking of the fast scalar passages in particular), or do you program them in a DAW or some other means? I’d be curious to see a video on your compositional and recording process for these pieces, if you’re up for it. Thanks again!
