cracked me up and its probably true ^^

No, he said, help me son, i´m tone deaf and a mediocre musician... but I always am in the look out for weird sounding noises, please, what chord is that?

@@TerryGrancho haha what? Why, cause he doesnt have perfect pitch? This guy could run circles around most contemporary players, especially in the rock world.

@@TerryGrancho I think he actually said. "God, this tone reminded me of the hundreds of thousands of dollars I made out of my youtube channel in spite of being tone-deaf according to some loser, mediocre 400usd a month maker in shity bars. I'm so happy :)"

@@cesmcmyth "I guess he added at the end, and I am glad that there is a bunch of morons who watch my content and think they learn something, because they didn´t make it into a conservatory and help me buy lots of equipment that I barely use, but I keep just to show off... oh I need to make a video about ALL the Apple stuff I´ve got and how I dislike it" lol

One of the best themes in Star Wars, right behind Leia's theme.

Dylan Decker every theme in Star Wars is the best Star Wars theme 😂

That poor XWing is ALWAYS stuck underwater somewhere.

@@jpthemusicenjoyer Straight up, man xD Everything John Williams created for SW is the best and should be the standard to which all other scores are held xD

@Gerald H Honestly with RTS, you could tell he was not enjoying composing for Star Wars anymore

Beautiful description. I teach music to around 40 kids every week. Over half are from India. I would love to learn more from you about this.

There must be bots to make sure every YT vid has a dislike. Wierd

And color blind, and have false memories of the future, and dread to live to discover their past, including a moment back.

Maybe is people who missclick

I honestly dont understand why people give a dislike to a video like this. Its really weird...

....Just don’t mis-click when you are holding a gun....

Exactly. Add Danny Elfman to the list.

Meet George Jetson. : )

I was going to say that.

And a bit of whole tone.

Everybody's favorite mode, Lydian Dominant!

I can't imagine a more eloquent review of a channel... Well written.

I love his style. I'm hooked.

Alan Silvestri also uses this in Avengers: Endgame

Thx, Don!

First one I thought of too!

I was looking for this comment. It's a great theme

I like James Newton Howard's "Signs" soundtrack. Hand of Fate Part 2 especially.

Yes, I'm surprised he didn't mention "Adventures on Earth" in this video when he mentioned John Williams; it's the piece in "E.T." that starts playing during the bike chase and plays in the background until the end of the film (final scene, not credits, there's another piece that plays during the credits; also used Lydian, btw).

Nothing new under the sun. Just the rediscovery of beautiful things

John Williams stole from all the best.

.daily. 🎼🎶💕🤘

Great examples - Octavarium goes everywhere, but yes that central theme, so majestic and soaring, very Lydian.

''Curve'' off of John Petrucci's solo album Suspended Animation. Sounds just a little like Joe Satriani 😁

Nikhil Rao i love it!

RUSH! RUSH! RUSH RUSH RUSH!

My favorite Rush song!

Intro to Freewill F lydian.

Thanks Hypes!

Emmett Wesolowski What a classic!

I never thought about it but that's so obvious now.

Every Little Thing She Does is Magic (The Police) verse ;)

which Alan Watts lecture?

John McMinn Good luck ✌🏿

Cluster One from Division Bell. C lydian. 😊

I think cool from West Side story is also lydian

Also, Terminal Frost ☺️

West Side Story as a whole was essentially Lydian.

Exactly what i thought expecially after i heard the jurassic park example

I had to scroll too far to find this one.

Thru the years I can`t stop wondering why ppl in the YT comment-section keep on caring why somebody dislikes a certain video. I mean really, why do you give a damn? And as I see such comments like "who dislikes this?" always get lots of thumbs ups, I conclude that thumbs up is the reason to leave those comments. So those, who seem to care why any video gets some dislikes, are just some attention suckers.

I think there must be those wannabe hip-hoppers out there who check out RB from time to time and who think they're composers creating music on their GarageBand thing, and when they hear someone use musical code-words they get all sorts of angry, because they have no idea what those black and white keys are and are completely ignorant of the musical language or instrumental playing (from dots on staff on a page). You know how it feels when someone speaks a different language around you, especially when it's friends or members of your family. Very disconcerting.

@@DonVueltaMorales This video has 16 thousand likes as of the time of me making this comment, and about 100 dislikes. That is 160 likes for every dislike. It's believable that a lot of those are by accident, or by people who don't understand music and just disliked because its long video they aren't interested in.

I love the cosmic key music score by Bill Conti, that was an overwhelmingly amazing composition!

Im a hobbyist-guitarist and I've been a fan of rick's videos for several years. Like the theory videos of Adam neely Rick's videos often go over my head . But i always watch to the end bc I can usually get one tiny nugget to stick in my brain. Not surprisingly I have accumulated a big batch of those nuggets in my brain. And whaddya know? Without consciously realizing it, to my absolute delight, ive discovered that I am nowhere near as illiterate as I used to be. He's a wonderful teacher and I am very envious of of those college students who were blessed to have him at the front of a classroom. Btw he happens to be a mensch too. Watch his tribute video to his late Aunt Penny. Make sure you have a box of tissues nearby while you watch . Your eyes will be watering.

I'm only functionally illiterate

Yes, but I’m watching it again three years later, and absolutely delighted by how much I understand and how well I can play along now!

..it a thing..a real one.. and is good..(phrigian fun...to.)..🎶🎼🤘💕

This song has got to be special. It went over my head for many years. But then again......so did sides 3 & 4 of the Lamb.

Check out "Mihalis" by D. Gilmour

Yep

Time Machine is also a good example of a Lydian Satriani song

The Jetsons theme is in lydian

The Police Every little thing she does is magic intro.

Precisely what came to my mind!

Yep, came here looking for this. I was gonna to say it if nobody else did.

I’m way too late to the party, glad I scrolled through comments before posting.

Yes, that's what I thought immediately. First 3 notes play the raised 4th.

Its a great example

First thing I thought of!

No wonder I love that melody.

Exactly. The intro of Majora's mask too. When Link and Epona are in the forest. And I think the song of healing too. One of my favourite mode the Lydian

Ben Levin has a great breakdown of Lydian related to Zelda music.. you should search it!

Thank you!

Deb Murray I agree with this. This channel (and the fan base he has) feel like old friends. Musicians are the coolest people on the planet. Period.

Adam Neely and Rick Beato already did a video on the lydian chromatic concept I believe

John McMinn : I also think Lydian is the scale that works best over the G chord before the F#7 in “The Thrill Is Gone”, That’s because C#, the #4 in G, stays in the key of Bm. It’s 2 in Bm, 6 in Em, and b7 in F#7. Now you could just play Bm Pentatonic or Bm Blues scale throughout, but you could also play G Lydian over the G chord and F# Harmonic Dominant (5th mode of B Harmonic Minor) over the F#7. *** (“The Thrill Is Gone" is a slow minor-key blues song written by West Coast blues musician Roy Hawkins and Rick Darnell in 1951.”) - - - And ... if you do go to the I chord then you are back into regular harmony with that Lydian chord being used as the IV to I chord cadence or the “Amen” cadence. Is that what you mean?

Hyun Frayer : I will search for that video. Thanks!

Overture 1928 & Strange Deja Vu

@@CavemanJesus4Life Definitely!

Lorenzo Fiorese . yes, the subtle nuance is noticeable.

Lorenzo Fiorese what’s that from?

Justin Brazelton the front right ball joint is worn too, did you notice?

Lorenzo Fiorese that’s me!!!!

Am I dreaming or did Rick try to teach his kid about pitch, and then a week later did a video and said, "Turns out...the little bastard has perfect pitch".

You mean that title track from the first Black Sabbath album?

Yes, it is kind of ironic. But we all know names are arbitrary. Nevertheless, it was termed the devil's tritone because of the difficult for singers to sing that interval, especially in a choral setting. On another note, so to speak, the cool thing about the tritone is in its ambiguity as an interval, it is ful of tension and begs to be resovled. And in the context of this video and how it is used by composers, it is really about how strong a resolution (release of that tension) it brings when it resolves up (melodically).

​@@johnmcminn9455 Beethoven and Bach boring? That couldn't be further from the truth. For one, much of Bach's music is modal, and explores within in it all the variations of the key he's playing in and its different modes. Check out Bach's fugue's and preludes from Well-Tempered-Clavier. To this day, there is not a composer who has match Bach in harmonic felicity, melodic creativity and polyphonic virtuosity - his ability to weave variations of his thematic material with in his music, forward, retrograde, inverted, diminutive, etc. As for Beethoven, with his 9 Symphonies, he transformed the genre into something which rivaled the opera. His Piano concerto's, Piano Sonata's all expanded upon what it meant to be a virtuoso pianist, composer and conductor. Have you not heard Beethoven's 5th, 7th or 9th Symphonies? How can they bore you? Especially the 9th? The 2 movement is so fun, despite he being almost completely deaf by then. Would we have Mahler without Beethoven? Mozart was prolific, but so much of his works were quite short (he started very young), trite with hardly any psychological or spiritual depth to them, save for his epic Requiems later in life, especially his Requiem in Dm - a true masterpiece. He still never reached the heights of Hadyn - he was more prolific with over 100 Symphonies - and would later become Beethoven's instructor. To this day, I can never tire of listening to Bach. I mean the amount of musical ideas he puts out in even one of his simplest pieces are a masterclass in compositional craftsmanship. Hiis more advanced works, toccata and fugue's for organ, or his Passacaglia and fugue's for organ, are the musical equivalent to quantum mechanics, and astrophysics. Go Lydian

@@johnmcminn9455 There renaissance polyphonic hymns with the sharp 4th. It's a myth that the Church banned them.

@@johnmcminn9455 there is no heaven or hell and its still not ironic.

Sameeeee

I have no idea about music theory. That's why I come here, and I give all of you thumbs up for also teaching me.

@@danfromqueens659 Then you came to the right place. He is a great teacher!

12/8 vs 4/4

It’s literally higher lol

Larry- nah, I’d say more like MDMA

best explained

Okay

Lydian is just major except you're okay with dying

xddd

Oh yeah, good shout 🙂

lydian is like no clouds

Thank you for this

it's indian classical music and not eastern, I believe the closest to the Lydian Mode is south indian raga Kalyani since it does not mandate the particular phrases that Raag Yaman employs

It's Hindustani Classical not eastern classical

alien hip hop from the quantum album. what a lagendary song!

hi italy. great country.

Great observation!!!! Yes! Great tune!

I thought that's where the first chords of the video were going. 😁

Yessss! In Overture 1928/Strange Deja Vu they use it a lot too P.S. Ibanez JPM FTW! ;)

@@JPetr94 you're right, I didn't think about that! P.S. Thanks! actually it's a standard 7 strings RG with some stickers and Petrucci's pickups from Di Marzio, but it rocks nonetheless! ;)

Why Ibanez ever let him go is beyond me...

Hell's Kitchen is one of my favourite songs to play on the bass precisely because of that spot.

@@leddygee1896 yeah, I remember being a bit pissed of when I saw him live for the first time in 2000 with the EBM prototype. Great guitars, I guess (never had the chance to try one properly), but Ibanez had that something, I don't know...

On here they just prove all trolls are losers.

We call them mixolydians

They must belocrian fans😩

Nailed it!

I got your “rise” right here

One of Elton John's most underrated achievements.

D major over C. Which is a C lydian chord II Good one.
