Folk's don't realise the importance of the work Rick is doing, one of life's greats. The world needs more Rick Beatos 🙏 ❤️

Congrats to Rick on his induction into the Rochester Music Hall of Fame!

Rick is at the top of his game right now. We're lucky to have him at this time.

For me the brightest star of the internet. And so generous with it. It's fun to see Rick being interviewed for a change. He look a little embarrassed, (or is that bashful?) to be on that side of the microphone! I hope he continues educating, appreciating and conversing for many years to come. One's sixties is an ideal time to amp life up, because you know your stuff. Rick does anyway.

Such a humble, wonderful man! A role model for anyone … at any age.

Chuck Mangione's story is so misunderstood and he's still alive. Rick, please interview Chuck.

Watched the Benson interview last night. Rick is doing God's work in the world of music. Beautiful man, beautiful!!!

Congrats Rick for being inducted! You deserve it and all your success!

Rick is an American Treasure! We need to get every musician available to him for interviews, like Sir Paul McCartney (for instance) and so many of those that have shaped our world of music. Congrats Rick!

Kudos to Rick Beato for donating to keep musicianship in the hands of young people!

Music to me was gone. Forgotten. Then I heard about a Rick Beato KZfaq thingy from an old buddy. I had since bought 3 acoustic guitars, and 2 electrics. I am one of your most “rabid” fans, Rick. One of the best things about music that happened to our country, and the world.

Rick definately deserves news coverage! He's a remarkable musician & educator. What a fantastic inspiration to young & old alike🎉

Congrats rickster

Ricks Interviews are the best hands down

Ricks youtube channel has some of the greatest interviews available, they need to be saved to the national archives..

GO RICK!!! A force for good in the world and a great human being. We need more like him in the world and on the Internet.

Great interview, and congratulations to Rick!

Best channel on KZfaq.. congrats to Rick

Rick deserves all the credits possible. He IS the MAN!!!

Rick deserves all the praise. He is such a cool guy. And a great musician!

Wow congrats to Rick on this amazing honor. It's great to see him recognized at this level for his contributions, and he's not done yet!

Congratulations on your induction into the Rochester Music Hall of Fame!

Rick is the man! I’ve been subscribed to his KZfaq channels since he had 40k subs. He is such an inspiration on so many levels, as a musician, a producer and engineer, teacher and curator of quality music. I bought his Beato Book and had it printed on extra quality thick paper and bound as a wish and gift from my wife for Christmas. With 200€ it’s the most expensive book I own 😂. Rick, you are a treasure to us musicians and engineers and in general lovers of music. I very much appreciate your channel being music only, no politics, no bs. May god bless you and give you an extra long and healthy life. And congratulations, you deserve every bit of success, because you worked very hard for it and because you make each of us a better musician! ✌🏼

A well deserved recognition.

Love Rick!

Rick is so great. Love watching his success. Congrats, Rick!

What a legend!! Congratulations!!!

A great interview. Congratulations Rick, well deserving to be in Rochester Music Hall of Fame. Maybe the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame will create a new category - 'Music Educator to the Masses'. I vote you. Thank you, Rick Beato. Hey, party hard and enjoy. 🤣

Rick Beato channel is one of those channels that you never get tired of watching and learning, it happens to be that his favorite 70s bands are my favorite as well so that is great.. The triple interviews of the Police band members, Frampton, Anderson, etc, all of them were fantastic, only a musician can talk to musicians of such caliber as he does! Regards from Costa Rica!

Congrats Rick! Also, props to Adam. Great interview!

Cheers Rick🥂, 🎹🎸👏👏👏👏...thanks from Guadalajara, México🇲🇽✌😎

All proceeds from his Gibson guitar going to get instruments to kids in public schools. That’s so awesome 👏 thanks Rick

Rick Beato is HUGE on youtube. Many musicians follow him.. He is the master. :)

Congrats Rick. Very well deserved. As a long time Beato fan, Rick's videos are fun, educational, and very easy to listen to. Very nice interview here!

Congrats Rick! You deserve this and so much more! Thanks For What You Do!!!

Protect this man at all costs! That channel is a treasure of music appreciation!

I'm very happy for Rick. Without a doubt he deserves success. Great yt channel.

Great interview Adam!

Rochester not only creates value it appreciates it! Well done Rick and good on you Rochester!

When I found Rick's Channel 5 years ago. I was like wait? A music producer that talks about music with the same passion I have for music, and art. And very engaging and intelligent. Seeing that child like wonder in His What Makes This Song Great series. Then you started to see the artists responding by doing interviews with him. It is so awesome to feel like this guy is an intermediary to all these artists for me. Thanks Rick for taking us on this journey with you.

I watched the George Benson interview, I never realised how brilliant and beautifully talented genuine man he is, a brilliant interview For a couple of years, I have watched most of Ricks interviews, like Tommy Emanuel, Joe Robinson, But the George Benson interview tops them all Definitely the best interview I have seen in 50 years, So much love and respect between both Rick and George, bringing tears to my eyes

Rick is a gentleman and scholar. The professor of music brings a clear concise interpretation of a vast genera of music to the masses like no other.

Rick you absolutely rock! I grew up in Rochester around the same time as you and there were so many good musicians and live music everywhere…still true today although sadly fewer live music venues. Thanks for all you do!!

Since i first saw his youtube channel and that was like 8 years ago and immediatly i was hoocked this guy knew evrything that i was looking for rick brought back the essence the history of music 1st hand this man is a legend from all walks of life young and old came togetherr to hear our music heroes and idols i terviewed by him that we onced wish for as a kid and a fan i will never stop supporting rick and spread his teachings no mattter how far l am i in this little province in the philippines rick you brought back to life what music realy is and that i cant be taken by anyone your the hero ans you are the idol. God speed rick dont stop and continue to spread the knowledge.❤❤❤❤ .

Congratulations, Rick, your family must be so proud! Cheers to you and your success, it's all well-earned.

Congratulations, Rick, on your Hall of Fame induction. Well-deserved!

Love you brother, Rick, thanks for helping me on a sometimes bumpy music road, you have added greatly to my advancement, pleasure and musical appreciation. You’ve been a bright light in my journey……

This interview(er) proves Rick's point that Rochester has a special vibe... I might need to visit.

It is now official ... Rick Beato is the GOAT! Nice discussion with Rick. Interesting and informative ... as always. Congrats for your induction into the RMHOF!

Wow! Congrats Rick! Thank you so much for the incredible content all these years!

Congratulations Rick! Big fan of both your channels for years here.

I've learned so much & enjoyed his interviews so much. His channel is the best I've come across on YT by a long chalk. I'm so glad that he's getting plenty of recognition for what he does. And phenomenal musicians are only too happy to visit with him. That says it all. Congratulations to Rick.

I am not a player, musician. My great appreciation for the form brought me to Beato. And even more than that he reminded me of a Music Teacher, Mr. Boys, at my old school that encouraged me to sing.

His channel is great! I love music, I’m a drummer and guitar player and really enjoy how be breaks down music. His interviews are always interesting because he asks great questions that other musicians want to know. I started watching him many years ago and his infectious passion for guitar inspired me to pick up and start playing guitar at the ripe old age of 50. I keep hoping someday he’ll get to interview McCartney, Clapton, and Gilmore before he retires. Congrats on your success and thank you for your contribution to music.

Wonderful interview Adam. As a Fairport grad (and Northside student) I can recall having Ms. Malm for music too! Congrats to Rick on his induction to the RMHF!!

Rick is The BEST!!!

Congrats Rick, I think many of us thought it was never about if they would... just when.

Rick, I am so happy to see you shining, seen, and heard. I am so proud of your accomplishments and grateful for your sharing your wit and wisdom with the rest of us.

You were brilliant, Rick - you answered everything with composure, humility, and wisdom.

Congratulations to Rick and thank you for helping me to better appreciate music and learning to play. 🙏🏻

A great interview! Congratulations Rick!

Such an inspiring human, well deserved recognition.

Great interview with the greatest interviewer of the greatest musicians of all time.

Rick Beato is such a gem of a guy! Thank you for all you do Rick!

I so proud of Rick and the work he does to spreading his knowledge. Funny he brings up Stairway and his son because he recently did a video of how his son figured out the note that everyone plays wrong in the outro solo.

Great interview

Met Rick at NAMM couple years ago. He paused our fandom approach and asked our names and flipped the script wanting to know more about us. A true gentleman and his fame hasn’t gone to his head, happy for his success and grateful to his approach in teaching and keeping music more alive today. I’m definitely benefitting. Thank you Mr. Beato. Good interview.

Awesome recognition for Rick!

Great interview from who's obviously another music aficionado !

As a fan of Rick Beato's channel here from London, his award is well deserved.

I watch Rick on his KZfaq channel, but didn't know he had won an award! His interviews & conversations with legends & new talent are anything but puff pieces or dry theory. His passion for both the artistic side & technical side of good music are self-evident. And, of course, his "old-man-shouts at clouds" rants about contemporary songs are wonderfully epic! 🇨🇦🇺🇲

Great interview go for it Rick, well done.

Developing Muscle Memory is the discipline for everything we'd like to do. It takes practice, as teachers will tell you, to learn to write and read, to play any sport, fly your own airplane, in short everything we need to think and do. Congratulations to Rick, and thanks to Adam and News 8 WROC for this interview. Thanks to Gibson for working with Rick to "pay it forward" to the next generations of musicians. - A fan of RickBeato and RickBeato2 channels (and more)...

Keep the passion and the music alive Rick. We appreciate ya !! 👌👌🙏🙏

Congratulations Rick.

Rick Beato KZfaq channel is a favorite. I subscribe to the channel and always watch. My favorites are the trip to Germany for Bach Celebration, all interviews, and theory lessons. Thank you, Rick.😊

Rick's comments on Rochester were spot on. My wife and I had the benefit of living in Fairport and Canandaigua for a few years due to corporate relocations and loved every minute of it. The people were incredible...we've been in Boston since 1995 and we often joke about moving back there when we retire. Love Rick!

There will certainly be more honors and recognition to come. Excellent teacher and communicator. Rick's stand-out -interviews- _conversations_ with legendary figures will go on to become important historic documents of our time.

thank you Mr.Beato ! i greatly enjoy your shows on you tube !

Great interview, Rick is AWESOME.........!!!!!!

Music appreciation. I came to watch Rick through his videos on breaking down songs. I don’t play any instruments but everything he does is so pure, interesting - the interviews are bonus AND authentic b/c of his LOVE of music & all that makes it us. Congratulations Rick .. from here in Vancouver, BC Canada 🇨🇦

Wonderful interview! Great answers Rick! Keep doing what you do. We love it.

👏👏👏👏👏 so awesome and happy for Rick!! Congrats!!

Rick is really smart which showed when he was young, reading every word on an album to know the names of everyone involved in the recording.

Bello/Magnifico.👑👑👑👑👑👑💨

I could see Rick doing this 30 years ago, in a class room, as a professor and still bringing interesting musicians into the classroom to be interviewed. They're just aren't that many people that could do this in the way that he does. He is simply the best at this thing!

Wonderful interview!

Can’t wait to hear the Benson interview.

I hope he's opening the minds of youth to sounds of the past. I had a great influence in my parents that helped me realize how important it was to keep my ears open to all eras of music.

What a great interview! That guy was great!

Rick's a great guy and a huge part of the KZfaq guitar community.

Fantastic conversation and to round off with “Instruments don’t play themselves” - love it Rick, that needed to be the 11th commandment ❤🎉

Congrats Rick! Very proud of you. Followed you from the early days.

I think what Rick says at 15:35 in this video says it all when responding to one of Adam's questions. "Well, I sit in amazement at it..." (meaning the incredible natural talent some musicians have when creating music). Despite all of Rick's talent and experience (which is massive), we feel his genuine amazement, appreciation, and enjoyment of all the music and musicians he shares with us through his videos. I've always felt like I'm sitting in the same room with Rick while he shares his thoughts, as a fellow music lover...and friend. We all appreciate how genuine Rick is. Thank you, Rick...the recognition is well deserved. And, Adam, what a great interview! Thank you.

We love ya Rick!

Love it. Go Rochester!

What started as a music appreciation channel became a Rick Beato knowledge appreciation channel. He's fast becoming a National Treasure

Congratulations, Rick! And Thank You for all you've done, and do!

I totally dig Rick Beato. He's the best.

Rick, thank you for all you do. I enjoy you channel because it's unique, educational,and it inspires music which is culturally part of all of humanity's existence. No one has a channel like yours. You've made your own stamp in the Rock-'n'-roll hall of fame KZfaqrs.
