Rick,
You are easily the clearest and most logical music theory teacher I have experienced. You are highly knowledgeable and a master at expressing your knowledge. Please kept releasing these videos. My family and I are learning a great deal from you.
Couldn't agree more! Thank you Rick! Hope you got my donation. Greetings from Germany.
I think I understand why your delivery of this stuff is so fantastic, Rick. The "level 1" aspects of all can be written down in one video - and IS by literally hundreds/thousands of folks out there in CZcams land. But, as you often point out, there's no substitute for "deep learning" this stuff, and in contrast to all those other people, you GO THERE. You hammer down into the details, over and over again, and following you drives some of that deep learning. It's just such excellent stuff.
< Oh RickB, I wish I had seen your videos 40+ years ago !¡ >
I remember watching this video a while back and wondering if you were speaking Latin or Portugese. Thanks to your videos (and of course, let's not forget, diligent practice!) I actually understand this stuff now. It's incredible! Many thanks Rick!
This is my new favorite channel! Excellent videos, even going over rudimentary stuff I already know I find they are good refreshers because you're very good at explaining things.
You have seriously helped me to understand music theory and how it apllies to my playing. Ive been watching your videos for weeks now. Its like all the pieces are fitting together with each lesson u teach. Thank u so much Rick!!
Fantastic, pieceing together years of puzzles, connecting so many dots or neural pathways! Can't wait for part 2!
I think my head just exploded.
Your entire channel is awesome, all this years i have never seen a better channel than this. You are the man, thanks for all the videos
Great video - explains exactly what gives each scale its character and why. I've seen other videos on this topic but none provide the practical knowledge and key insights into how/when these are used in such a comprehensive manner. I've been studying scales for a couple years now, and I'm only now appreciating how much these very slight changes intervals in each scale make a huge difference in sound character, and that the greats use them to get their signature sound.
You’re such a great teacher, Rick. I love the way you explain things. Thank you!
Best music theory channel on CZcams!
by far! what a time to be alive!
Couldn’t agree more!
Great comprehensive video! Loved seeing all the scale families payed out like this.
I know Im asking the wrong place but does any of you know of a tool to get back into an Instagram account..?
I was stupid forgot the account password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me
@Howard Finn Instablaster ;)
Rick. I never went to music school. But watching your videos feels like I am. Amazing content. I’ve learnt so much from you. Just wanted to say thank you 😊👍👏
Rick, I want you to know that these lessons are ideas are exactly what was missing in my college education. I had great professors and players, but the modal/fusion side of things was just not part of curriculum. Your ideas about quartal chords and modal chords, diminshed maj 7 chords, man all that stuff totally opened new sounds and chord shapes to me and I wanted to thank you for that.
Thanks for great lesson Mr. Beato! Always very helpful!
Thank you so much, Rick, for putting all the modes in an order that makes sense! This is a great addition to my own theoretical studies.
Thank you so much for making these videos and sharing your knowledge! I feel I've discovered treasure...
The way u teach each theory lesson just blow my mind away even I learn so much theory the way you organize each scale to another and how it's similar to another scale it's so amazing how to explain it you a really genius man and also with your past experience you can compose play many instrument and also very very good in theory as well and of course Dylan will learn most thing from you and he will be a very successful professional musician in the future !!!! God Bless YOu!!! you give us a Super Good Lesson and example to easy to adjust our scale in your own concept Bravo!!!!
Thank you so much for all you do Rick! As a young musician studying Jazz at university your videos are the most excellent supplement to my learning "diet". Amazing videos to watch while drilling in scale shapes in all positions!
What a lucid explanation of information which I thought I knew inside out. This gives a new perspective which has already got me sparking. Mighty:)
very informative video Rick. So far you're two steps ahead in teaching theory online for free. Thank you
Great presentation. Clearly presented because the topic is clearly understood by the teacher.
Rick is up there with ted Greene, who is my hero at theory, but Rick is a master at piano producing, mixing, etc-pure genius !!! Not trying to compare, just have great respect for both and their wealth of knowledge RIP Ted, thank god we have Rick
Awesome content Rick! I 'm buying your book and getting stuck in. This is such an amazing education, we 're so lucky to have all this information presented in such a cool way👍
Just wanted to say thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge. I just enrolled in The Beato Academy, and look forward to exploring and utilizing your lessons and resources!
Rick your video’s are AWESOME thank you so much!!
Very nice Very helpful thanks rick.
Amazingly helpful!!! Thanks for the great work!
will buy your book. did not know there was 300 pages. what a time to be alive!!!! happy holiday !
How much is his book and what does it cover
Watch his livestreams, even if you miss it he gives a 20% off code for his store. His book is now 400+ pages I believe. It covers everything he teaches and more
Great video. One of the best in a channel already full of amazing things
Thanks for this excellent and very crucial music lesson, Rick!!! You are the best music teacher ever! :)
I love your vids so much I had to buy the book. Thanks Rick!
I like your "try to keep up" style...its you tube and the onus is on me to review. Thanks
You the man!! Great job. Thank you!
Simple lesson, but probably one of your most important ones (broadly speaking).
We're doing good if this video only went over 25 people's heads LOL. this is seriously one of the best music lecture videos on CZcams and has pretty much everything you need to learn to take yourself from a beginner to an advanced player it's just super thick going to have to rewatch it probably take some notes.
Rick, I know you like suggestions, or requests on what to do in your videos, so here is one. I want to work on writing music for commercials. How about some lessons on which types of chords or keys evoke a certain emotion. For example, maybe major chords are happy, but what if you are writing a suspensful piece, well then maybe you want to use diminished chords, or if you are writing a piece with an arabic flair, you may use this type of scale or chord progression. Etc etc
Thanks for this Christmas gift...MERRY CHRISTMAS to you and family \m/
Hey Rick please provide us the link for the videos you suggest during different lessons... that would be really helpful.!
nd thanks for these lessons.!
Thank you Rick... always great content. Have your Book.. and i study along with your videos... have an awesome day :))
Your channel is a musical library!!! If I have a question I search “Beato (and whatever I want to know)”.
Rick..as I went along and pieced it together in my mind. So learning some of this new and some refreshed. The Dorian mode uses
the notes of Bb ..so I visualized the piano in C. C D Eb F G A G A Bb C.. and just changed where it has a sharp..like sharp 2. Enjoying video.
Ok .. I'm confused about the Phrydian major. The Phrydian mode is from Ab since C is the major 3rd of Ab..So C to C using Ab is (C Db Eb F G Ab Bb C)...so
In terms of C ..1 b9 #9 4 #5 b7..Oh I see it is a modification of
the Phrydian mode..the major is defining the C scale portion... So C Db E F G Ab Bb C. Grasshopper take the stone from my ✋.
One of the very best..if not the best I've seen on the net. To know that the relationship of harmonic minor scale and it's derivative Phrydian major mode is priceless. Thanks for this very clear lecture. I
watched parts of this for a long time but it was worth it.
more morr moar! hah thanks Rick cannot say enough to how amazing each and every video contains invaluable content mostly unfound anywhere else I would be a humbler servant just to learn from someone such as yourself, music is my passion and I am a street lurker at heart and have lived outside since I was 15. I managed to acquire a home for the last 6 months now and have ben goin deep into theory after playing guitar on the street for over four years, I have never has instruction minus a few good folk out there willing to share a lick or small piece of lucrative information. thus I have learned more this last 6 months than the last 12 years easily, I do not have money often but when I do I will buy your book and set others onto it as well thank you from the furthest cosmos, we look on to inputting this knowledge as many ways possible cheers from a not so far away appreciater / onlooker :)
Thank you rick
This is a highly powerful theory video and I am totally greatful for its specificity! This one is packed with what I call extended theory.
Will you please do a series of extended videos using all the theory in this awesome video musically at the piano and give us the opportunity to play along with you and apply the theory that you are teaching us?
Do you know if Debussy and Satie utilized whole Tone Scales?
I will listen to your Whole Tone Scale video.
Thank you with extreme appreciation:)
You are the ultimate champion.
awesome knowledge
Excellent Video!
great teacher. thank ytou man.
Great info again ...all the best man 54
Great job!!! thanks Mr Beato
Dude thanks for this!
Great lesson!
Rick ..playing around one day. I did the Lester flat bluegrass G run on my guitar.. G A Bb B D E .I realized it was a rearranged E blues scale. Been doing it for 40+ year's Duh.
THANK YOU!
You remind me on my professor in primary music school, she taught us these modes, I thought there are useless, so I learned them without much understanding.
Hi Rick, I've watched both part 1 and part 2 of chord families and modes multiple times now. Unlike the second part there wasn't any demonstration of the major and dom modes you mentioned in this video and how to achieve their respective sounds. In the second part you delved quite deep into modes such as dorian, locrian,dom dim etc, i hoped there would've been a demo of some of the scales mentioned here. Can we expect a part 3? Thank you :)
You are amazing.
Excellent video
thank you
Obrigado Rick
wow, yesterday was telling my wife about this amazing teacher of piano who seems just as accomplished on the guitar and his amazing kids he showed off-only to see in today's Atlanta paper -Feb 21 an article on Dylan and to find out you are practically a neighbor- in Stone Mountain. Love to meet you some time. share Atlanta music scene stuff.
+David Moscovitz Hi David- write me at rickbeato1@gmail.com. Thanks! Rick
Where were you 35 years ago ?
lol! You are amazing .
thanks alot!!! ur a genius!

Rick , Please Continue To Be My Friend And Guide.
I try to classify these modes with reference to the difference between 2 half step intervals.
So, major family modes have 2 or 3 whole steps between the half step intervals. Melodic minor or similar altered scales have 1 or 4 whole steps between them. This makes it easier to put my hands with the correct shape on the fretboard. Then all I have to focus is to identify target notes such as the 7th or 3rd or the 1st note of the underlying chord. Am I shortcutting and missing something important?
Do you have a chart which relates to the chord which matches the scale. Like for sus chord, which scale relates to this
DJ Panras DaVersiteOldSchoolDJmaster thats a very good question! This is where I am at.
Hello Rick! Great videos! I started watching you when you had about 40k subs. Your theory videos are about the only theory videos I watch; they are very helpful. I have a question: Do you still sell your Beato Book? All I can find is your PDF version. It seemed like you used to sell the your book in a spiral style. One more question! Do you know of any scale books that teach all 12 major key mode fingerings for piano? Or do you know of someone I could ask that has a youtube channel or something? Thank you! I'm a big fan!
King! 🤴🤴
this guy Is the god of scales/modes
This man is a wizard
Hi rick , great lesson, :@29:00 you are saying C aug and Db aug to play,,instead of Caug and D aug, sincere greetings from Belgium.
In your video about Howard Shore's music, the first example with the transitions from the A major chord to the F major, there is a melody played over it which gives it the otherworld kinda vibe. It's basically an A major triad + it's flat 6, then over F major it is an F major triad + it's flat 6. Would that melody then come from the Mixolydian b6 scale?
Nice video Rick^^. I think someone missed out on the chance to call Dorian #4 the Lydorian scale.
Nice video. Do you have a list with all the videos on modes and scales? Can't find it. Found one but has a lot more and I'd just like to go through all the ones on modes and scales... thx!!
Head melted. My Eko Ranger 6 is now retired until April. It'll be 59 and I'll be 70. No more theory! Freight train type stuff from now on. Well, maybe pick up on Leadbelly, although really need a 12 for that ....
Your lectures are highly appreciated!
Question that bothers me: You say a flat 7 gives the 7th chord a dominant function, but I thought what gives the resolution a pull toward the tonic is a leading tone, half step away from that tonic. A B flat is a whole step from C.. So how does that work? Is it because C7 with a flat B is a dominant chord to F, and the B flat resolves to A, which if the third in F maj? Thank you!
The 7th in the Dominant 7th resolves DOWN to the third of the Root. Seems you understand. I tend to use the leading tone (Major 7th of the root) melodically to return to the root, e.g, it's great in walking bass lines, does that make sense?
brilliant
Wow. I made it to the end without brain melt.
Mixolydian b6 is a beautiful scale.. I learned it from a lesson online by Brandon Ellis from the black dahlia murder. That dude is an absolute monster of a modern metal shredder and I know Rick it may not be ricks genre but he should definitely have Brandon on..he would melt ricks face off. IMHO he's the best modern metal guitar player and he's a true master of his craft
thnx a looot !
i came up with a tune recently not sure what key it should be in can you help , the chord progression starts on g major, then you play the g major chord with a sharpened d note , then e minor chord followed by d minor chord to c major chord , later on it goes g major chord then g major chord but with a flatenned g note then f chord to c chord there is an am chord in there
Great class - you were a classical guitar major and must have done the Segovia scales - Melodic Minor went up b3, #6, #7 but went down pure Aeolian (remember Bach's Bourrée in E minor?) - is that not how Melodic Minor is thought of now?
From what I've come to understand the melodic minor is only used for half the scale. Mostly in jazz, I guess people got lazy or just naturally want to hear repeating notes. You are correct in the construction though
I don't use harmonica minor mode family because of its augmented second. I don't use a lot of scale because they're just too many of them.
Great video, Rick Beato
I have a question: In scales like the Dominant Diminished, why is the b2, #3 and 6 really b9, #9 and 13?
Those would be the same tone number but up an octave. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8(1), 9(2), 10(3), 11(4), 12(5), 13(6).
Bullock0099 thanks, I get that but is there a reason why they have to be an octave higher?
Michael Graham it is want necessarily mean the note needs to be an octave higher. But often is. Example, play a major third right next to a minor third (the #9) and there is a lot of dissonance. If you raise the minor third an octave, it relieves the dissonance.
Bullock0099 that makes sense, thank you!
This guy knows his shit backwards
Hi Rick! I love your videos - however, I'd like to talk to you about the idea of a mode as a 'subset' of a scale.
I mean, the subset of the scale C major that consists of ONLY the note C is a subset of the set {C,D,E,F,G,A,B}. The note C by itself is definitely NOT a scale or mode. Do singleton subsets (subsets with only one element) count as modes? If so, are the pentatonic scales 'modes' in some respect?
Yes the pentatonic scale I consider modes actually.

I can't find part two in Rick's playlists/comments - can anyone please post a link?
Rick, in a 9th chord, is the 7th always included ? same rule applyes to 11th chord ( are 9th and 7th included ? ) I've Seen a lot of differents points of view. Is there any videos of yours where this point is chrystal clear ?
bzeliotis, I think you are not correct. Yes, every 9th chord should contain a seventh, but it can be any seventh. C-E-G-B-D, C-Eb-G-B-D, C-Eb-Gb-Bbb-D - these are definitely 9th chords. This rule stands for 11th and 13th chords as well. Every 9th, 11th and 13th chord should also contain some kind of a third. But you can exclude 5th from 9th chord, 5th and/or 9th from 11th chord, 5th, 9th, 11th from 13th chord (pianists very often exclude 11 from 13th major chords, unless it's #11).
Yeah, it's not a law of nature, there are some exceptions to this rule (like dominant chord without a third), but I think it's a prevalent agreement. I've read about it in many books: Aebersold, Bergonzi, Levine, Ligon. These guys know their stuff.
Oh, OK, I get it. I misunderstood you, sorry.
Rick what all does your book cover and how much?
Phrygian major is also just called phrygian dominant.. phrygian because the flat 2 and dominant because it has a major 3 and flat7
contemporary music could be a bit more confusing. For example altered scale is often played over major dom.7 chord. Which means we use 1st, *4th*, *6th* and 7th degrees.
Quick way to recall extension numbers is simply add 7 ...2 + 7 = 9....4 + 7 = 11
David Fletcher just remember
I found your comment that a tonic note could a blue note very interesting. Could you talk more about Blue Note theory?
I meant that the way you play the note can give it a feeling of the blues. When BB KIng played the root, it sounded like a blue note.
Your brain probably worth around 100k. (including experience). you ROCK !
was hoping for more :)
LOL
I dont know all your musical background! And im not even talking about your heart yet ;)
100k probably peanuts to this dude cmon
Did that in 2nd year of high school. Earned Masters degree in Music theory. Earning about enough to survive. Any suggestions?
Is the mixolydian sharp 11 also called the half diminished scale?
No, that would require a b3. The Half Diminished = m7b5
I need help. In one rick beato video there was a composer´s quote something like: "I don´t care for melody, i am interested in harmonies, the way they flow into one another." What video was that, what is the composer´s name?
Hi Rick, why isnt an Altered Dominant and Dominant diminished scale considered a minor scale then? Is it the ambiguity (has both flatted third and natural third)?
Keith Yu hoping to get an answer to this as well.
I don't know whether this is how rick sees it, but I like to call the 2nd and 3rd degrees of this scale (Db and Eb in C altered dominant) as the b9 and #9 as that's how we hear them (as tensions of the dominant 7th chord.) This makes sense as then we analyse the 4th degree (E in this case) as the major third (which is a chord tone on the dominant 7th chord.)
The Altered Dominant is not a minor scale because as Chris says below we are talking about the b9 and #9 appearing in the scale, but there will still be a natural 3rd degree. On the other hand, the Dominant diminished in my opinion is a minor scale, because a diminished scale = Rb3b5, and the added dominant would just be a b7, which does nothing to change the character of the triad which defines the quality of the chord.
