FORGET Tommy Emmanuel's guitar playing! (Which BTFreakingW is out of this world!) The absolute JOY this man projects through his music completely blew me away from the very moment I first caught one of his performances via an online video some years back. In my simple view of things... his excellent guitar playing is simply an outgrowth of someone with extreme sincerity for music making as well as being a genuinely kind & caring individual. After THAT... everything else is merely details - - including his power house ability playing guitar like nobody else on the planet!

Thank you Rick!!! I have been wanting the ear training course for so long and i finally can afford it. I'm looking forward to doing it! Love your channel Rick.

[@P121463S]

Rick - Sting is my favorite musician and your interview was fantastic - wish it were longer.

[@matt8637]

Love Sting's music. I am 53 years old and have been listening to Sting since the Police back in 1981. Wasn't that great that Rick got that awesome interview? So good.

[@P121463S]

@@matt8637 only disappointing thing for me - the last few releases from a sting have been subpar for me. His latest is growing on me. Been listening from the beginning and slightly older than you - cheers!

Super excited about the Tommy Emmanuel. I live here outside Nashville in Franklin and watching him live is mesmerizing. There are virtuosos, and there is genius. Tommy is pure genius.

I love Rick’s “What Makes This Song Great?” Series. I would be simply overjoyed if he was to extend that concept to entire albums in the same vein as the TV series Classic Albums.

[@adamlewis3145]

Thank you Rick for putting this together and following your passion for music. I'm homeschooling my two son's who are 7 and 5 and I wanted a good course for myself and them. Edit: I just purchased and guys,..... IT IS AWESOME! Totally worth it.

[@kevinlewis9586]

Hi Rick...I can,t believe it! TE is one of my all time favourite guitarists, I saw him in South Australia quite a few years ago and have thought for some time it would be amazing if Rick did a TE interview then this morning I jumped on your channel and saw your Black Friday Sale and thought yes I,m buying that, then you announced your interview with TE and I was absolutely stoked! I got excited like a little kid again, can,t wait for it. PS your Beato content is amazing thankyou and I,m going to let my muso mates know about it so they can buy it too. Great channel mate..loved the Peter Frampton, Pat Metheny and Sting interviews!

[@dougcronkhite2113]

Rick.. I've learned so much from this KZbin channel.. I'm mostly interested in the ear training stuff, but I bought it more to support your channel. Awesome stuff.

[@FinnMacCuhl]

Fair enough, I'm going to get this and support your channel. Why? Because you have made content that I have enjoyed that I cannot get anywhere else. Your working knowledge and enthusiasm for all genres of music is remarkable and opened my eyes to artists' work that I would never have encountered without your passion for great music.

[@Greg-McIver]

I wanted to get them all but decided to wait for a while. Well.......Now no more waiting! Thank you for the Black Friday discount! You are really such an amazing musician and incredible story teller and interviewer.

[@happyplacehomestudio375]

Hey Rick, everything you do is so professional and buttoned down...EXCEPT your livestream launch. Easy fix. Make yourself a splash screen for the livestream, and show THAT in that first 8 seconds. Then switch to yourself. Mo more deer in the headlights. If you don't have one, get yourself and Elgato Streamdeck. Makes such things a snap.

Tommy Emmanuel is an incredible guitar player. Had the pleasure to see him live a few years ago and it was amazing. Can't wait for the interview.

[@billsybainbridge3362]

14:10 - Excellent point about Studio Acoustics and Angled Walls. In most cases people can't afford a total build to get acceptable results, and overall Room Volume is the killer of smaller spaces, especially regarding the ever-critical Bass Response (smaller=worse). Modular Acoustic Treatment (Velocity, + Pressure-based Absorbers) are the most assured way to go in this ever shrinking, costly Real-Estate era. Most problems with Speaker Boundary Interference Response, and a plethora of other problems can be resolved best with the right choices of Acoustic Treatment + Room Compensation Software + Phase Aligned Sub-Arrays. That's my humble opinion after studying Studio Acoustics and doing several builds or calibrations over the last 11 years.

[@stephenhuber1079]

I'm looking forward to your interview with Tommy Emanuel. I've been listening to him for a long time now, he's an awesome musician.

Rik Emmett definitely worth hearing about . Amazing voice, guitarist and musician whose been doing training since at least the 90’s.

[@dennisardas697]

Can't wait to see the Tommy Emmanuel interview. Tommy and his brother Phil were in a band named Goldrush. They use to both play on the one guitar, unbelievable and we are talking maybe late 70's. Unbelievable showmanship.

[@VixCrush]

I've seen a video somewhere on KZbin with that.

I saw Tommy, Phil, and Mal Eastick in concert in QLD. Was so good that by the end I forgot to cheer. Was just stunned into silence.

[@dennisardas697]

Would have been amazing. These guys got really good cause they played all the time all over the country. They really got to learn to play and be showmen.

Omg Tommy Emmanuel! He's my favourite guitarist of all time! Can't wait for your video!

[@simonhouston8443]

When I was working in London's Denmark St, Sting's keyboard player, Jason Rebello walked in to try out a new digital piano at the time (it was 1994) and the moment he started playing my jaw was on the floor. What a player back then at a young age. I loved his comment repeated by Dominic about practice. Loved the Sting and Dominic interview Rick. Well done Sir.

I played guitar 50 years ago. This is a screaming deal so I bought it to support this excellent channel and Rick’s work. The interviews are very good and if you don’t like to watch ads send him some cash.

Hi Rick, greetings from Glasgow in Scotland. Just purchased your Black Friday Bundle as an early Christmas present to myself. If nothing else, it’s a great way to help support your channel, which is one of the best on YT. I’m a lapsed drummer, not played a kit for about 20 years, but I footer about with guitar and bass and a wee bit of home recording. Long may you rock (and funk, and jazz, and soul and… you get the picture)

[@Maioro77]

Saw Tommy in our local small town hall here in NZ a few years back, probably about 100 people in the audience, total professional, it was like he was playing to 10,000 and his life depended on it. One of the best concerts I've been to, got a signed copy of his promo poster in my studio.

After watching, I don't know - hundreds (?) of hours of your videos - I decided to go ahead and support you with this GREAT deal of musical content. From your music theory videos (which remind me of my music college professor - Prof Pilecki) to your What Makes This Song Great, and even your diatribes against the "powers that be" of the music 'industry', I can say that I have not only thoroughly enjoyed your channel and teachings, but found it extremely entertaining and funny as well. Lord knows it's hard enough to make a living with playing and "living" music, here's to you Rick B.

[@arfer1470]

Couldn't resist, I went for it 😀 need to get my den/workshop/music room finished so I have space to get my guitars out of storage.

[@josephandrosky6377]

I purchased Rick’s Black Friday Bundle as I am very interested in his ear training. It is amazing how many countless hours of work he put into these courses. I am excited to grow and improve as a musician, but I also want to help support his efforts through revenue for Rick. I think Mr Beato is an extraordinary educator and a huge inspiration to us all.

[@JMurdochNZ]

I have been a fan of Tommy Emmanuel since 1997. I have seen him live twice. And yet somehow, I am still not completely convinced he actually exists. I adore many guitarists for many reasons, but I do not think any of them make it look as utterly effortless as he does. He is just the consummate, ultimate performer and I have never heard anyone say a bad word about the man. You are right about his arrangements Rick; in spite of the mind blowing complexity, there's always a simple, memorable melody at the heart of each song that sometimes even a plebian like myself can pick along to. Good instrumentals tell a story without saying a word. You should think of the title and think "Of course that's the title." And Tommy hits that target with near perfect accuracy.

[@eyelight3056]

I seen the bro's in Brisbane in mid 80's they were great players Tommy is a good bloke, his dead brother never paid me for studio hire even after I went out of my way to give him a better deal than anyone else ever got but, hey that was Phil the snake lover.

I first worked for Tommy when he was the Drummer in Goldrush . His older brother Phil (rip) was on guitar . I later had the privilege to work as on stage engineer for Tommy . Because he didn’t sing you could really crank the acoustic on stage without feedback . Also one of the nicest people I’ve worked for .

That would have been an amazing experience seeing them play. I don't think I was old enough to see them live however I believe I have a live album of Goldrush.

I was just playing a song on the piano and it has 17 different major or minor chords. Rise, by Herb Albert, a trumpet instrumental. The 2 guys that wrote this created a masterpiece! And the groove in the background is awesome and supports all these chord changes seamlessly! I am into music trivia, like how many times did Bill Withers say 'I Know' in a row? 26! It's a lot, I know! You have the best music-based You Tube out there. Keep up the good work!

Regarding acoustical treatments, I used to work in an old radio studio that was purpose-built to be as "dead" as possible. Angled windows, extra thick walls covered with sound deadening material, and even the ceiling had some interesting woodwork up there to absorb reverberations. Sometimes when there was no audio playing and no one talking, people would notice the silence, and it would freak some of them out. I miss that room.
