Great video. I will watch the cast

Huzzah for long-form content - it's great to hear people really dig into their passions!

Well put and very true.

Agreed

Well said , this short video has put a smile on my face

Good rubbish

With pat finnerty crashing into frame

Pretty sure Seal had the same reaction in conversation with Beato. He was unaware he was breaking normal rules in 'kiss from a rose' as he didn't know what the 'rules' were!

Same 😂

He's a snob and an eletist. His opinion on music and production will only pit unnecessary limits on your creativity

@@MisterFatherSir310 His opinions are his own. He actually has took the limit OFF of my creativity. He has introduced his audience to countless artists, spanning every genre. The guy is a bottomless pit of musical knowledge; and he is doing us a favor by sharing that knowledge with us. But yeah hes a tottallllll snob; eletist, cabal, illuminati. God damn the internet is hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I would not recommend Beato for anyone just learning music, or anyone halfway through their journey for that matter.

@@whatilearnttoday5295 there is a good amount of people that watch his channel that dont even play any instruments at all.

It was an honour.

That's rad. I'm tuning in when it drops : ) Molly.

but why though :p

We need a Punk Rock MBA/Justin Hawkins collab

Can’t wait!!! I’m really looking forward to it! Two of my favorite UTUBE people chatting together! What in this world could be better!?!?!!!

Isn’t it just? So obvious and simple.

Dennis Waterman, is that you?

I genuinely catch myself humming ‘JUUUUSSSTin Hawkins Riiiiides Aaaagaiiiiiin’ in my head regularly throughout the week

I believe Justin used to write jingles for advertising agencies, pre The Darkness.

Thanks for posting this. I nixed the Sting interview after 5 minutes because I thought Sting was too uptight and reticent. I'll have to watch the whole interview. I loved Rick's interview with Billy Corgan. Check out his interview with Thomas Newman. That was the most fascinating from a musical & creative standpoint.

@@carlmarks8170 it's probably the best Sting interview ever because Sting is *usually* uptight, but as the conversation with Rick progresses, he becomes more and more relaxed, it's almost fascinating to watch.

True. Rick has mentioned before he is a huge fan of Sting. But he respects all musicians he interviews. His music knowledge is through the roof lol.

Well, Rick can't really write music. Or at least he hasn't written anything noteworthy.

@@carlmarks8170 I almost bailed on the Sting interview too. Sting definitely loosens up once he realizes Rick is all about the music and not looking for a "gotcha"

Worked with a band in the early 2000's that had worked with him. I unfortunately did not get to, but the music he helped with was the best on the record. Really missed out not getting to meet him.

If you see "blue collar" looking into a studio with a good $1M in gear...then I'm afraid you might be interpreting the phrase too literally. Wearing a denim button down doesn't make you "blue collar"!😂 (Ironically, Rick wears whatever he likes because he is self employed.) And being rich doesn't necessarily make you a greedy monster. 🤷‍♂️

@@lueysixty-six7300 Fair point. To clarify what I meant by ‘blue collar’… he speaks common people music language, not snobbish conservatory language, and communicates directly and plainly to listeners, rather than speaking down to students from an ‘ivory tower’ vantage, like so many music snobs do. That’s all.

@@ambientideas1 Yeah, you want Finnerty if you want blue collar. Pat Finnerty.

Wasn’t Justin on wmtss ages ago?

Have you ever actually learnt anything from him which you were able to implement in practice?

@@whatilearnttoday5295 A fair amount, though you have to apply yourself, cos the information's there but it's too easy to leave it for now. lol

Check out Carl Baldassarre. He's another guy with a great knowledge of music theory and has great enthusiasm when dissecting and explaining.

And he's a great guitar player.

@Keith Ferris "Quick lesson" proceeds to shred for 40 seconds. "Like that." Nah, but CJ aside, I really do like and respect Rick. What a cool life journey.

Chords are what you play on the guitar…cords are what you pull your curtains open with…..sorry after midnight appears to be when my spelling pedant appears….😬

Was gonna pick him up on the spelling …but didn’t wanna sound like you did lol😅

@@dalegallacher7074 in late from work after a really difficult day…all my own fault…so behaving like a dickhead….I did say sorry ! 🤣😉

From what?

@@DaveTaste ISIS?

@@DaveTaste KZfaq of course

Yeah man. He has that Freddy Mercury quality for sure :)

Well the shameless plug worked because I listened to it and it’s great. Nice one, as JH would say!

Dear Forrest- I'm in agreement with Philip J. I'm going to check you out too. Oh the Wonders of the Shameless Plug From 🇬🇧 All the best for 2023.

I whole heartedly love a shameless plug. If you arnt in, you can't win

You should edit your comment so that the band name is Krampus. I just gave your song a listen, and although not being my usual type of music, I thought it was an awesome piece of music. Shameless plug = success. ✌️🇦🇺

Your plug is working lol. Not bad, at all! Good kickass rock n roll 🤘🏻

Yes. Dan is awesome. Talk about Stone Gods. Great band!

That's really cool! What kinds of books do you write?

Definitely. Especially in the Rock world. It's like Rick always says, "they may not know what they are doing, but I do". For many it's just been a long time of learning by listening. Personally I don't believe there is any "magic" in song writing. It's just a skill like any other. I mean...it's still amazing when you hear someone write something and realize you would never write like that and wonder how they came up with it, but ultimately that's just a product of their influences and how they improvise around those influences. To me it's like a sliding scale where you have technique on one end and song writing/arranging at the other. People who spend the majority of their time practicing licks and scales and speed and chops etc...are going to be more to the technique side and people who spend all their time listening to their favorite artists, copying the styles and arrangements and then improvising over what they learn, become the amazing writers. It's what made a guy like Eddie Van Halen so special. He had buckets of skill, but also understood all the writing and arranging side of it too.

I think they know what they’re doing in that they are creating sounds that they have in their head. They might not know the formal name of the chord they are using, but practice has always preceded the theory.

@@doublestrokeroll Just because you understand and enjoy the technical side of things does not mean that you can't write a great song. This is the bs argument that ppl like Steve Vai or Joe Satriani have no soul or heart in their music- when the reality is their music is dripping with it. Steve is one of, if not the most, expressive guitarists to ever play- he can put more feeling and emotion into one note than most guys can squeeze into a full solo. Bands like Polyphia put out amazing music all the time- it doesn't get much more technically oriented than that stuff. I would argue "stylized' and "technical" are basically the same thing- which means guys like Guthrie Govan are extremely technical when you think about it. Mike Dawes is very technical. They're just utilizing new techniques they came up with. Hell, even pure pentatonic blues is a technique- if you want to be strict about the definition. So really, I don't even get this argument, it makes no sense. Everyone, including you- uses technique.

@@stoneysdead689 For sure. I totally agree. But ultimately "soul" and "heart" are 100% subjective no matter how much people like to think they can objectively "hear" it. For example I think there is more "soul" and "heart" in your average Chemical Brothers song than anything I've ever heard from Joe Bonamassa. That guy is as boring to me as any music I've ever heard. I get nothing emotional from it whatsoever. Having said that, I would never argue that his fans are wrong for getting emotion from him. And sorry, but I really don't like Guthrie Govan's music. Again...I don't get anything from it. I appreciate the talent. Guy is amazing and I wish I had a pinkie's worth of his chops....lol...but musically he just doesn't do it for me. Having said all that, there are, again in my opinion, many examples of great technical players, who songs are not written or arranged very well and really kind of just serve as a vehicle for their technique. A perfectly valid thing to do, but not something I'm very interested in. And I would argue by the fairly limited appeal said artists "technical" music tends to have amongst the greater population, a lot of people feel that way. Again...I'm not saying "better". There is no better in music. But the ability to write catchy melodic music that has very clever arrangements is a thing. It's a skill, and not everyone is great at it.

He's busy being on hold with the IRS.

@@feebypeels2883 🤣🤣🤣

I find Rick completely and utterly absorbing to watch, the interview should be really interesting. Thank you Justin! 😁 ♥️

He makes me want to learn the theory.(something I have purposefully avoided)

Truth hurts so good!

Not going to lie. You, Pat etc seem like the more 'grounded' not schmuck type of people on KZfaq. Beato seems to be the person in the 80s to promise gold mountains and uses words like " industry ". But hey, I'm a very judgemental person. It is cool to see him appreciate you and have an in depth talk about theory

Hooray for cool interactive patron stuff ❤️

I have found myself singing this out loud many times , it really is quite infectious. Glad I am not the only person. Thanks Justin 🎸

Thank you so much for this video! I can't wait to change my guitar strings as I retuned it after so long without playing it (trying to get your theme tune) and the first string burst💥🤦‍♀️. Thank you also for making me return to a hobby that I have always loved.😘 I can't wait to see the full interview with Rick Beato too, the part you have posted left us wanting to see more!!!🤩🤩🤩

You must interview Louis Cole.

@CackityCack 😳 I haven’t seen that & didn’t know it was a thing, but now I do, I NEED to see it ASAP! 😂 thanks! 🥰

I think you're right, Creepy Clips. Start out the long form interviews w/ friends in the industry so that there's a level of comfort there, hopefully, right from the beginning.

🎼Mister we could use a man like Justin Hawkins rides again🎶

😂

@@OnlyUkeThatMatters Haha yes!!

For me, it reminds me of the chorus to Phantom of the Opera.

@@spritebuster685 Haha yes!!!! And of course we all know ALW lifted the main theme for Phantom from Pink Floyd’s Echoes…
