Rant - Rick Beato is a douchecake

[Ventura]

Rick's a decent dude. He may not have all the time in the world to show his prowess on guitar in his "what makes this song so great vids", but he's trying to get the message across in a period of time without dwelling. He's super knowledgeable - both in playing and behind the desk.

Haters gonna hate.

First rant here for me !

yes i realize the entire planet is on this guy's dick...hard
sure he knows theory
BUT
he is a pompous arrogant dick and it comes across in almost every video.
watch a few live videos and it's so evident as he interacts with commentators and or dick sucks fanboys that donate
and
his guitar playing while 'correct" has zero vibes and is totally uninspiring or memorable, and he thinks he's great.
No "dumbass" i don't want to watch you meander in G dorian and pontificate to the serfs about how to use the mode.

Compare his playing ANY real artist like paul gilbet, chris poland, kossof,.beck, aldrich, holdsworth etc ________ fill in the blank fave of yours and it's clear he blows chunks, has a shit tone, crap phrasing etc.

there are HUGE gaps in his musical knowledge
he is clueless about anything electronic from the 1940s - to present day it's all just "EDM' to him
he has no knowledge of funk/soul/bossa/reggae/ international music
his djent lesson is a bad joke
his entire foundation is classical guitar and FM rock and it's fucking lame
i don't need a another privileged "white bro "telling me how great steely dan is.
yes i realize no one is forcing me to watch him
but it's repugnant
YMMV
thanks!

haha, pretty funny. Drop a moronically racist rant about a pretty good dude and leave...

https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Troll

right here sweetie
so sorry i melted your precious snowflake wings with my 'racist' post

Snowflake? Not sure how you got that from my post, strange. Anyway, I don't even care if you like to dislike Beato or what you day about his videos, I just thought it was weird to bring in his race like it mattered at all. Carry on...

 

[Luca79]

Spread his content around a forum is the best way to hate him
Probably he got another 500 views.

His videos offer far more to the musician community than this post. Don't like his vids? Start your own channel and show us how it is done. Also, not getting the " Privileged " thing. A quick look at his bio, and it appears he has worked for everything he has.You must be using the modern definition of "Privileged". E.g. "Rick Beato has worked far harder for his success than I am willing to for my own success, so he is a privileged white bro."

here is beato in full bloom jerking off all over himself about steve gadd and steely dan
exhibit A
i can think of countless drum tacks the predate this one that are far more ingenious and innovative
yes steve gadd is a legend - got it -thanks rick aka captain obvious

This drum break is legendary. Absolutely amazing in feel and vibe. Not to mention the flawless production of the track. You seem to have something against Steely Dan. We don't have to all like the same things. But ultimately, if you don't like this drum break you have no taste, and disgust me.

I must agree

I really like Rick, and 76-79 LRB was MAGIC.

I don’t own any Steely Dan.
To me it’s all mood music.
Now toss on some Yes...
Little River Band.... well now we are talking!!

That was a great vid. Can’t believe I never saw this guy til now.he just got another subscription, and I will probably waste many hours this weekend watching him. Good stuff

 

[PAULYC2]

I recently discovered this guy. His lesson channel is awesome. Check out the chords of Van Halen...

Wow, I love this guy’s videos ! Thanks so much for posting him. Been binge watching off and on the last few days. Great lessons, easy going, not TOO much to digest all at once... great teacher.

 

[Iceman8.6]

Dumble..

 

[degenaro]

As far as these content for money YouTuber go he ain't so bad.
Now that said some of his theory stuff is driving me bats. He supposedly has a degree in Classical Bass and Jazz Guitar however looking at his book there is lot of Dick Grove book's info regurged and what stunned me way too much Barry Harris teachings badly explained.
But hey his subscribers dig him.

As for the Kramer didn't engineer Zep comment...iirc he did Zep2 after that it was Andy John's and on 1 his brother Glyn John's.

I can't stand Steely Dan. Everything about them and their fans reeks of assholey pretentiousness. If those are even words?

They are words in my dictionary and must say I agree. But there is skill.

I can see you've never been on a yacht off Santa Barbara, at 530 am, with the sun just starting to come up, a cool breeze ...with the sweet tracks of Aja playing in the background, cutting up your next lines of cocaine and sipping on champagne, while the dolphins swim around your boat.
