I don’t remember how I got turned on to Rick Beato’s YouTube channel, but I love it. Rick is an incredibly talented producer and musician, and I put those in whatever order, because if you watch his videos, you see a lot of both.
His best stuff (in my view) is his “What makes this song great?” series. In it, he’ll take some great songs and break them down in intricate detail. He knows his stuff, and while there’s a lot of “music talk” in his videos, they’re still so entertaining to the person who may not know even the first thing about what he’s saying. Throw in there the fact that he can pretty much play along with anything, and you get to see what’s happening while it’s being explained.
Beato did his 100th episode of this series recently, and I got a bonus out of it — it was on Frampton’s “Do you feel like we do,” which I wrote about earlier. Double-bonus — and this to demonstrate Beato’s influence in the industry — Frampton actually appears on the video (as well as in clips from an interview Beato did with him in 2018).
So yeah, here’s a recommendation. Pretty much anything by Rick Beato on YouTube. Absolutely enjoyable.
