You are the man Pete!! Thanks so much for having me on!

I am so glad that even Pete has the same look on his face as I do when Rick is playing his jazz stuff. 😅

There is greatness in humility. That's why we love Pete. ... Oh and Beato is an ocean. There's like a week's worth of lessons in here

Oh shit--the Purple Haze bit is priceless!

Best advice on KZfaq for musicians of all calibers and skill levels. "Make THE (chord) CHANGES your focus". That should be on a T-Shirt so we remember it every time we play. Papastache102 just did a brilliant vid about this with Guthrie Trapp.

It's always cool to see these guys do videos together. It's like an avengers movie.

Always great to see Rick! The key with learning to think like a jazz guitarist I think is getting away from thinking from the root of a chord and realising how melody works over given chord changes. When I got into jazz I wish I'd been taught to "encase" key notes of a chord with chromaticism first rather than first learning dozens of modes and scales as a lot of teachers start with. To any rock player who wants to get into jazz I would start with a basic 7 chord like A7, get away from thinking from the root and "A mixolydian" or "A pentatonic" and just hold down the chord, notice the key tones are the major third, the fifth and the flat 7, so C#, E and G. A good exercise to start with is landing on the fifth (E) and aim to move from that to the major third (C#) with a chromatic line and encasing the note, so two chromatic notes down and one below the target note so E, E flat, D, then C up to C# and then ending on the flat 7 (G), so you've really "outlined" the chord and not a root note in sight. Figure that out it in all 12 keys and incorporate it into your usual stuff over a standard blues progression and you're already thinking and sounding more like a jazz player. Hope that helps somebody, it frustrated me for a long time that nobody taught me that first off!

Watching this video...I can't tell if I want to go freak out and practice for 6 hours...or line my guitars up in my driveway and back my car over them. My brain hurts, but this killer!

Man Rick putting on a master class. Pete is totally digging it. You could dissect this video and dispense with a years worth of theory lessons. Great vid guys. I feel 2 IQ points smarter lol

How great is it to see these dudes talking straight up, gold l say gold........

Jens Larson’s channel is the place to go for the jazz stuff, Beato is a genius and likes to maintain the mystique by chucking so much stuff at you that there isn’t ebough time to take it in. Either that or he is from an advanced alien civilization and doesn’t understand how to break it down for we earthlings. Larson breaks it down and makes sense of it all..... i like the way Pete immediately goes for demystifying and picks up on the key elements of chromatic passing notes and the importance of learning arpeggios. After 40 years as a mediocre amateur rock player I spent lockdown learning arpeggios and it’s like everything makes sense for the first time ever. Great video, thanks gentlemen. Sounded like a nice bit of Joe Pas about halfway through... nice.

The more I study and learn, the more I can follow what Rick is saying and I love it. Thank you Pete, thank you Rick. You two are treasures.

Two of the best guys on KZfaq!

Two of my favorites in one video!

I studied with a jazz guy for a few years in my early 20's. I find the big thing I took away from it was trying to play so you hear the chord changes in my solos. I'm still very much a rock player, using lots of pentatonic patterns, but once I get comfortable with the chord progressions I focus less on scales and approach my solos from chord tones. I basically visualize arpeggios and add passing tones around the chord tones. I also find myself often using hammer ones and pull offs and sliding into notes in much the same way a jazz player does.

Its always those damm jazz guys with the awesome chops. Jazz is almost like the foundation of great playing for every genre. Honestly Rick, I never realized how good you really were until this video. Very slick playing.

I listened to PT2 during a long drive today, and there's a TON of interesting outside the box playing on it. PT knows theory, and must intentionally create his riffs outside the diatonic 7 chords. A unique take on progressions, resulting in unique songs. Amazing tones, every song is loaded with contrasts. Then I listened to Chris Green, which is produced by Rick Beato. Scales like you've never heard.

please do more of these with Rick! you guys together make a very entertaining and intellectual pair

Rick has several amazing videos but it can get deep really quick. There’s several times it gets way over my head.

I am going to the front of the stage to watch this guy! Priceless. Rick is America’s Master of all things music. Thanks Pete for the video.

I'm hear to listen to Rick play... after watching many videos on HIS channel... and learn that, YES, he can play the guitar... VERY well. Thanks.

Really enjoyed this. Always enjoy listening to musicians from different backgrounds having these discussions.

Let's just pause for a moment and appreciate how much knowledge Rick beato has 🥺....that's was awesome..... Makes us realise that's its the journey that matters, the destination is wherever you stop and he ain't stopping

Wowza that's an intro to jazz!! Thanks for sharing Pete!!

I love the energy of rock and the language of jazz. Man this sums up my entire outlook on music. This makes me feel good about liking hip hop for the energy of it while still Loving the language of jazz. Great stuff.

Rick rules, so glad you featured him Pete.

Much respect for jazz guitar players. Just remebered being humiliated on the first day of my jazz improv class, really life changing.

2 weeks ago I discovered Rick's channel & binged his vids for a week straight. (I was hypnotized) Now that I've seen them all...he has led me here to embark on my next binge. I'll be spending the next week w Pete!

Rick was just showing off. . . No prob - he earned it.

This whole video comes home in the last :20 seconds with the Purple Haze jazz lick. *mind blown*

Rick is brilliant. Buy his book. It's not expensive for what you get.

Me and Pete both get up from the bar at the same time to go see what this guy is going to do next. :-) Great job Rick!

Okay,,,I didn't know Rick was this good (as I am a fingerstyle Jazz person, and less of a rock person)...wow! Hats off to Pete of course as he is a guitar legend too...what a great duo!!

Wow, this teamwork is what I waited for!

So Rick is also a terrific interviewee! Nice work Pete.

Dayum,your a great guitarist Pete and Rick blows me away with his knowledge \m/

Two guys that I friggin love! Pete seems pretty impressed.

You're so great together. And great idea on purple haze!!!!! I really enjoyed watching 'n listening!! Thank you.

This is like those old Malmsteen instructional video's "First I'll play it slow (and then still goes mach 5) ". Rick dishing out 10 metric tons of information in minutes.

Thank you both. Please more videos like these.

I love how Pete gets that grin on his face while he’s watching. That’s someone who loves music. I do that all the time when I watch someone play, but I’m a lousy player.

Rick Beato is a great educator! I look forward to Part 2!

Wow, I've been following Rick for probably two years and just discovered this video...it's hit me like a steam train. Love it 😍

Wow, best video I’ve watched in ages. Pure gold! Thanks Rick and Pete for sharing this. I learn so much from you two guys on your respective channels. Rick has so much music knowledge and is so willing to share it with everyone. You guys rule (and rock!). By the way, I bought the Beato book a while back and I Love it. I also have all Pete’s albums, your last one really kicks ass!

Great demonstration of Thornbuckers there. I can say that now I have some.😍

What an excellent interview...Rick is the consummate jazz master...I loved this...thanks so much, Pete...can't wait for the rest of the interview!!! 💗💗💗

You guys are both so very cool! You are both a constant joy to me. Thanks fellas!

such great guys we can learn from, the technique but even more the attitude towards music. Thanks a lot !

Love Rick's channel. It deeply satisfies my inner theory nerd.

Rick Beato is a music master. How do musicians not feel intimidated when recording in his studio? There's not much if anything that anyone is going to teach him. I've been playing guitar for 34 years and I feel like a 1st grader watching a professor give a lecture. Awesome.

This Awesome Interview Really Sold Me On The Advancement 'Jazz Methodology' Is To The Music Demension' Thank You Pete And Rick ' You Two Are So Awesome To Learn From🎸🔊🎼

Watching this video with you guys hanging out and talking about this is great! I do wonder if "easy" and "first jazz guitar lessons" should begin with Stella By Starlight? But of course that does sound like "jazz" to everybody which is important too 🙂

Seeing this today Rick, I realise to what degree your foundation is resting on Joe Pass, who's also my main man along with Wes for straight ahead Jazz Guitar. You are the man! Looking forward to seeing you in London late March 2023, Merry Christmas!

Thanks for sharing this Pete! Great class

That's the first time I've seen Pete looking like a student (and enjoying the experience), Rick is so interesting and inspirational to listen to.

Great stuff! Love it!

What a hip meeting of disciplines.Very cool guys.

Two talented and amazing personalities!!!

Thanks Pete! Great show!

Hey guys it's so great to see you both together love you guys

Excellent video, loads of ideas to digest

Cool to see these guys together in one video. Wicked stuff.

Watching again. So great

hey Pete, Josh Smith breaks down jazz cords exceptionally well during his interview at That Pedal Show last February in simple terms that I almost understood (only been playing 18 months, more PT for broken hands and C spine injuries)

Damn, that was great - Thanks Pete and Rick!

Terrific interview .. got a lot of clear answers about jazz guitar that I hadn’t heard before ... I learned a lot, thank you

Amazing guys super cool both of you very inspiring to practice and create thanks!

I’m now a better listener..!! Rock on you guys! Would love to hear Pete learn some jazz and do a song with Rick playing bass.

I keep seeing that green guitar, I want it Pete! Great video!

Great video. Thank you.

Thanks for putting in the “take away”! 🙇‍♂️

Awesome! Two of my heroes. Pete, love your student-mindedness. I have just tipped my toes into jazz and just the II V I progressions and modulations were a revelation. I *think* I am starting to hear it more and related turnarounds but with all the altered chords that dance around that structure I really struggle!

Hahaha I cracked up with Purple Haze at the end. Legends.

The best Dynamic Duo!

Seriously great vid guys !!!!!

Please, please and pretty please more of this with Rick. Thanks.

Great watching two masters.

Amazing player Mr.Beato👏👏👏

Glad I watched this again!

One guy who is regarded as a very distinctive guitar player in rock music (not only for his vibrato and bending) is Marty Friedman. And I am willing to bet that he is very aware of the song's changes and playing the chord changes in his solos, because of that I think he was very innovative in his era.

Knowledge is power. Thanks guys.

Thanks for posting this!

damn, just damn dude. Great video, great questions. thank god, peace.

“Play something simple” and then Rick takes Pete to school. Haha love it guys.

Best interpretive take on Purple Haze, like, EVER💥😅🤜💥🔥🤛

It was a really nice video! One thing it's very important is to listen to a lot of albums on that style.

Awesome video guys!

Very cool video and a great subject! When it comes to infusing jazzy phrases into non jazzy music, I like to do both: playing diatonic pattern stuff, as well as the individual chord changes.

Love you both man this is awesome

LOL you look just a little less lost than I do when he starts discussing music. I have always played by ear, when Rick speaks it sounds like a foreign language to me and it messes with my head lmao. Man, he knows his stuff so well it blows my mind.

Awesome explanation for us rock/metal heads!!

Oh NOW I have to watch all of Rick Beato's videos too AND learn jazz guitar! Damn you Pete Thorn! :O)

That was Great ,I love Rick ,very knowledgeable.:-)

I've been playing for many years. This stuff is amazing but moves into the musicians musician only zone. My advice is to take one or two of the ideas that you can understand and utilise them in your own playing to add flavour to your own sound. Otherwise you become overwhelmed quickly and lose heart. I'm not knocking anything just trying to bring it back to earth for the human guys. I include myself. Good luck

My two favorite music dudes!!

Rick’s new Kemper profiles are pretty good. Check them out.

Good starting point that help me was to getting to know your triads all over the neck, in three note per string form, arpeggio forms etc- it can really help rock players dip their toes into Jazz for the first time.

I’ve never sought out jazz lessons, but I understand better than I ever have after this. And now I also know I’ll never succeed at jazz

Inspiring..as always👍

I did buy Rick's book. He offers discounts regularly, but I would consider this material an essential reference guide and teaching tool that will always be relevant in your guitar life. Thanks Rick for all the free knowledge you're passing on to all.
