3 Things I Should've Learned When I Started Playing Guitar

Great video !!!

Does anyone know what program he is using to move the notes around see the fretboard in the start of the video?

Dude I absolutely love spread triads great little ideas to either riff with or include and use to tie solos. Thanks Rick!

Could you do a break down of some classical style playing, perhaps Broons Bane by Alex Lifeson?

Thank you

Rick Beato. Single handedly passing the keys to many of rocks and Bach’s secrets for future generations. These videos are causing an awakening and rebirth of sorts for a lot of younger people. I work for the biggest hospital in Northeast Ohio as an electrician. While putting together a material takeoff for a small job I was watching what makes this song great, Vasoline STP. A 22 year old “hip hop head” said “holy crap you know Rick Beato?!” I said duh. He had stumbled into Rick and has been spreading the word. He said because of Rick he’s really becoming a rock n roll fan.......now if I could just grasp the sus, Lydian, triad, 5ths lingo.....

Thank you this video, I am going to work my hybrid picking daily now..... great advice

Rick Beato's channel is like a goldmine of inspiration for people who have seriously studied music in the past but maybe stopped/took a break. It's like once you know foundational stuff (reading/arranging/mixing/playing music) his videos are outrageously inspiring. Thanks Rick!

Thank you so much!!!! I really appreciate it, it helps me so much!!

i love your guitarplaying

Hi Rick, I have just came across your channel today and already subscribed. I want to learn how to play electric guitar by myself but have no foundation of music theory or whatsoever apart from being a vivid listener of different types of music from an early age . I was wondering if you could advise on whether it’s possible to learn to play just by ear and messing around with the guitar so I can catch the sound, do I need to study theory for that and what guitar would you recommend for a beginner ?
Thank you for this channel

Thank you Rick!

Rick beato is better than teachers

This is great Rick, but I think I speak for other beginners, what is a Triad? Do you have a video on that?

Thanks so much for taking the time to make these videos! The info you share is priceless!!

Great segment Rick! That sweep to alternate picking is a trick for sure to master. Thanks for all the learnings!

Genius!! Thank you Rick for everything!!

As Beck, Gilmour, and Buckingham are my main influences as a player, I have not used a pick in over 20 years. As soon as I dropped the pick my playing improved exponentially once I got my right hand technique down.

Impossible to Flat Pick , unless you are Ritchie Blackmore or Steve Morse . LOL .

Here’s how I know I’m making progress, albeit slowly: I actually understood each of those concepts after Rick went through them, and could roughly follow what the fingers of each hand were doing. Back in April, this would have been completely incomprehensible in every aspect. My actual playing is still hot garbage, but I’m starting to be able to think in “stringed instrument”, which feels pretty amazing! (Background was flute and piano 30 years ago, and starting to learn ukelele and drums 3 months ago was like trying to play the flute with my toes.)

I wish l could learn the magical changing guitars

Only the first one is confusing because you really need to know the chord chart down pat first to incorporate it but the others on picking can be practiced by beginners. That right hand gets overlooked so much but it's equally as important to develop

Thank you....

That initial 5 minutes learnt more than anybody could ever teach me, Rick unleashes the doors to creativity!! Love from India!!
I am not a musician but I love my guitar and Rick's teachings!!

I think your 3rd tip is definitely right, however, it is important to explain WHY you should alternate pick.

Because I still don't know why I should 😂

One of the things I wish I had learned 20 years ago would be listen to Rick! Knowledge is everything! practice is in there with that!

Awesome

Triad inversions. Great to know. An absolute must for jazz guys.
But hardly a "beginner" topic.
When a beginner student is overloaded with theory, scales, and all that stuff, they most often lose interest and quit.

Rick that minor scale sweep/alternate picking pattern that you played sounded like the classical part that Eugene/ Ralph Machio played in the movie Crossroads!

Good stuff Rick ! Have you ever listened to Michel Petrucianni ?

Over my head and 60 seconds flat.😵‍💫

somebody help me. when rick is playing those spread triads is he just reading the fretboard for all 3 notes or is he finding one note and applying a pattern?

This reminded me of Beethovens Moonlight Sonata (3rd Mov.). There he inverses each chord over the whole keyboard. As it is in minor key it creates an astonishing sound.

you rock 👍

Slow down with the play. Slow down with the explanation. Start with string E. Explain slowly why E and adgb E are the same please?

My guitar teacher taught me how to hybrid pick which it came really natural once I tried it but I don't remember learning much at all about arpeggios

I concur

that last rake thing sounded a lot like Mark Knopfler... ;0/ M

Beautiful sounds!

Thank you very very much Rick!!

any particular reason why you chose Bm? Is this something to transpose to all 12 keys when you practice it?

Thank you! Watching and learning as always!
A thing that helps with hybrid picking is playing the classical guitar! Brings it to the next level!

Thank You

Does this work with any type of chords? Alternate minor and major.

Your channel has to be one of the most valuable on the Internet. It seems like the production and content always gives me useful information and it's entertaining.

I'm so lost. Never been adept at music and I need to learn guitar 🎸 😩
