Mick and Dan - two absolute treasures in the guitar community!

[@cmadelaide56]

The lack of ego and genuine interplay between Dan and Mick is the endearing factor that draws so many people to them. Absolute treasures.

[@mini0705]

Love it!!Mw

[@jtf2dan]

Love watching these guys videos.....and to see Rick sitting with them is like a double win! 3 amazing men who know how to entertain and teach....

[@zakolache4490]

I love how when Rick speaks the decibel volume meter in the back spikes up to the 600s, but when the pedal guys are speaking it's in the low 500s. That New York italian in full force!

[@justinguitarcia]

Youre missing the decimal point lol if they were speaking at 500/600 db that would be exceeding the volume of a nuclear bomb haha That said i have no doubt Rick is much louder though, being a new yorker myself

[@veljkosimovic2302]

Well, he said that he has tinitus, so it might be that he speaks up because his hearing is a bit harmed.

[@CatGPT_]

@@justinguitarcia xDDDD

[@DavidvdGulik]

He's also close to the decibel meter

[@frogboxmedia]

Got to love Mick, he gets a huge compliment from Rick and immediately deflects by calling out two other players, incredibly humble talent.

[@Cornan1980]

I absolutely adore That Pedal Show. I actually ended up picking up a guitar and learning to play because I was so interested in gear and what they talked about on their show. I come from the world of computer enthusiasts so guitar gear was a clear transition point into a new hobby for me. Their channel is such a fantastic resource to identify what it is that YOU want to sound like and what will help get you there.

[@dylandenney3980]

This is a crossover I didn't expect but I'm thrilled it happened

[@jimmygillard]

It is my favourite thing on youtube when my favourite channels come together.

[@jasondejong3062]

Ive literally been watching that pedal show for at least 6 years, and I owe damn near all my tone knowledge and rig set up to those two men. Absolutely incredible humans and an insane amount of knowledge! I am forever grateful for those guys! Hope they keep going for years to come🤘🏼

[@mikepettengill2706]

I saw Rick get so emotionally moved by what they were doing there and it just got me so strong. These guys are living life.

[@BV_Beve]

those are my friends right there 🙂 ... great conversation guys !

[@StrokeSigns]

Apparently, this came out a year ago. I’m glad I’m seeing it now. I wouldn’t have appreciated this interview then, the way I do today. These are my absolute favorite KZbin people from my two favorite KZbin channels! This is pretty awesome, Thank you for making this happen!

[@rickyricardo2006]

The thing that I like about Dan, Mick and Rick is that they are true to themselves.

[@recordlounge]

Rick I have been watching you religiously for a year now and love what you are doing!!! I am the only woman owned record shop in Michigan and have done so 15 years now and music is so so important . Because of you I’ve picked my guitar back up and so glad I did!! Keep it up and keep spreading the word , without music I do not know where I would be. I brought in some Polyphia LPs in last week and was overjoyed when a kid came in and bought them yesterday. If your ever in Michigan please come by The Record lounge!!!!

[@stratmanuk]

I'll never forget first watching Pete Thorn play 'To Live and die in Nashville' and being absolutely blown away by the fact that this superb piece of music was created to demo something!

[@shoegazeforever8810]

As well as being used as an observatory, calendar, and for ceremonies many scientists now believe that Stonehenge was also used as an acoustic and reverb chamber. This allowed speakers to be heard clearly no matter which way the listener was facing - but it also made it very difficult for people standing outside the circle to hear what was being said to the inner circle of priviledged listeners. Also, the small gaps between the stones created reverb which made the speaker's voice and music sound more pleasant. (Scientists have used models of Stonehenge inside acoustic chambers to prove this.)

[@love_it_to_death]

How about a video on ancient accoustically designed venues?

[@arphod]

Watching Dan and Mick taught me everything I needed to know about guitars and guitar gear. I studied their teachings for about two years and spent $15,000, and went from knowing almost nothing to knowing something.

[@atonofspiders]

What did you get?

[@blockingthesunmusic]

I love these types of videos, Rick! Dan and Mick are superb

[@samuelhatman8995]

You and Mick and Dan are REAL!!! I can only echo the best of comments below. I play... everybody I know plays... mostly. You are all treasures! And the way you shared, my goodness, we are all there in the room with you. Awesome Rick!!! Faves those two... really good people.

[@dougbennett7881]

These guys are professionals and love what they do. And I (we) thank them for that. It makes us mere mortal guitar players feel a part of a greater community. We also feel like we are able to talk/communicate with the greats of our hobby/profession. This keeps me playing more and more because I feel part of a movement. Left to my own vices, I would probably give up playing guitar. But these guys and so many more inspire me to continue. Love all these guys!

[@DoubleRIII]

I loved this episode. Thank you for making me aware of these two gentlemen. I subscribed to their channel. I am inspired to pick up my electric after only touching it a few times since 77. I picked acoustic back up a couple of a years ago and this reminded me that electric is my first love. There is so much for me to learn.

[@davidwonpu353]

Ah yes, Rick to explain theory I don’t understand, and Dan and Mick to point out frequencies I can’t hear

[@akwamarsunzal]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@realtruenorth]

And yet, we keep coming back for more 👍

[@kylemain4314]

Fact!

[@bobbrossify]

Frequencies that don’t exist or even if they did could be EQ’d in or out.

[@davidsuriamusic]

😂😂😂

[@michael_caz_nyc]

Wow . . . Dan's guitar playing (those Reverb-drenched, beautiful Clean-chords) = just incredible. You really showcased that CXM 1978. I didn't want it to end. Great episode guys.

[@SvenBlumer]

Love all of these guys and their music missions - more collab like this please!

[@macleod15362]

Was watching this about 2 weeks ago and it got pulled while I was watching. Now I don't know where I left off. Good thing I love both of these channels. Time to start over.

[@michaelreis8266]

Three of my favorite guitar people right there...not just for the guitar insight but the passion and love of people and music. So fun, thank you 😎👍

Good to see this re-posted. Dan and Mick are awesome!

[@JoeDolanPR]

What an amazing opportunity! This is a joy!

[@g4p5l6]

"We wanted to go into a room and make noise..." two people I totally get. Great interview.

[@jeremythornton433]

Thank you all for having honesty! It's a rare thing these days and I love it!

[@SuperSolaris]

Another CRACKING idea, Rick!!! And now that you mention Stonehenge, I KNOW that one day you will do analysis of Spinal Tap's best song, their avant-garde "Jazz Oddysey".

[@roughcutguitars]

​@konaken1035 well there's your evening sorted

[@SimpsonMusicProductions]

Glad u Re-Posted 💥 You guys are the main two music channels I watch 👏

[@carminelombardi9575]

I so respect Daniel and Mick, and I've learned so much from them, that has lead to me in obtaining the tone that I hear in my head.

[@MattyK-USA]

This just came out of nowhere! What a treat to have these three get together - thank you for an absolute gift, Rick 🔥👍❤

[@odyssey6684]

What's amazing here is the level of respect and admiration that both parties have for each other. There's no competition, just information exchange. Love how they mentioned Pete Thorn and Tim Pierce. Brett Kingman is another player doing amazing demos as well.

[@Thatbobguy8]

Best thing about Mick and Dan besides Mick and Dan is, they give us all real examples that mean more than some keyboard warrior pontificating about the fact that they know everything about something. Keep it up gents!

[@MikeEss1000]

Connection thru music……love it.

[@Themparktycoon2world]

I am a beginner guitarist and I don’t understand 90% of the stuff you and your guests talk about. I am soaking it up like a sponge. I believe listening to people who actually know a lot about the instrument will help me in the long run. So @rickbeato thank you for all of the wonderful content, guests and your educational knowledge on how people should learn to play. Love the shows and keep it up.

[@post-man23]

I love watching that pedal show. I think every guitarist love to watch them.

[@crawlingman7003]

Dan and Mick. Great guests! Thank you Rick. Excellent interaction. Yes, it’s a deep rabbit hole when it comes to so many sonic options. That can feel like a daunting task. And Dave and Mick often remind us about the inspirational excitement that can draw us into the creative process, an almost magical experience. I especially loved their series about multiple amps- wet/dry/wet. Amazes me. Their excitement was contagious. No vaccine needed.

[@bikramgurung13]

the green screen is awesome in this one! 😁😉😜

[@PLively]

I don't really understand pedals (!) Yet That Pedal Show is something I watch whenever I get an opportunity, not just because I want to learn about pedals, but because you present in such an erudite and entertaining way So thank you. ...and then you get to speak with Rick Beato! I savoured every second.

[@shymi]

Mick and Dan are awesome - love their content and wish them all the best!

[@ganjjabarsmedium2347]

Love the pedal show, been watching for years! 🤘

[@SRV4me]

Three of my favorites… in one room! Love you guys

[@ukwan]

I use a Strat into a Budda SD30 and I just turn it up and rock out. I have a pedal board with fuzz, octave fuzz, phaser, delay and reverb. But I often quite like to ditch the board and run a treble booster instead which is a great combo.

[@samuelhatman8995]

Just finished. CAn't help it Rick.... gotta say it.... what a gift. I am so grateful for/to all of you. We gotta feel blesssed, I know!

[@justinguitarcia]

Admittedly I have a lot of stuff, too much prob, but its funny when put in a situation that you need to strip back that you realize what really cuts the mustard. This summer i had a few festival gigs and anyone whos played a festival knows how assembly line they can be, no time to fuss with gear/presets etc (unless you are top bill or have your own sound person). So i assembled a board of just tuner-diamond compressor-kingtone soloist (really good tube screamer)-analogman dual delay- into backline hot rod deville with my tele. Tone was killer and cutting and no fuss, just let me play without thinking

[@rgbplumbinghilton]

That's exactly what I did and it is surprising how tone chasing, you lose sight of the core tone that is actually great 😂😂

[@PedalsFusion]

WOW - Effected !!! Love, I need that one ;-) and of course, thank you all for the amazing video guyz

[@joshuao2548]

I still say that "EFFECTED" is the best T-Shirt ever

[@WhitAnderson70]

My favorite worlds colliding!

[@Transtaganu]

Well done Mr. Steinhardt... well done....👏👏👏

[@lescaster2179]

Forumites like to describe tone like wine snobs describe cabernet. Lots of descriptive words that don't actually hold singular meaning but are intended to make the reviewer sound all kinds of sophisticated and knowledgeable.

[@portsideguitar1981]

Dan & Mick are so much fun to watch and I’ve learned so much about tone and the pursuit of it from them. But I agree totally with Mick’s point on keeping it simple between guitar and amp…how so many classic recordings were done.

[@petergraham9267]

What a GREAT interview......I love that you guys returned the favours: Mick and Dan interviewing Rick; Rick interviewing Mick and Dan on each others channels......just great! I could listen to all of you guys all day.....and often do! 😳😂 I have to say, you guys, plus Tim Pierce and Eric Haugen are my biggest inspirations to improve my playing after 35 years, and I play better today than I ever have because of that inspiration! Thank you 🙏😎

[@MrSatanismybitch]

Shout out to the hipster doofus, Eric Haugen. That guy's so class and easygoing, he really makes music feel accessible. And he always gets great sounds.

[@benclaase8181]

Just so much fun to keep learning about guitars and about the pedals history. Awesome interview!

[@treeduck3705]

What about a trip to Australia Rick to talk to Brett Garsed?

[@TheSpoonwood]

Mike Hermans makes great demos, a wonderful player/arranger.....Dig both your playing.. I'm subscribing to this channel. .SUPER

[@cyclethelock]

I was so glad they shouted him out, because he is a fantastic player. Like, really, really good. And his demos to me are how they should be-no chatter, just the pedal in context and then him fiddling knobs. The fiddling knobs part is frequently extremely enlightening. I’d totally take lessons from that guy if he (still) offered them.

[@GT-mq1dx]

I’ve never seen The Pedal Guys before, so now that I’ve been introduced, I’ll have to watch them some more. These guys were a total gas, and of course Rick knows how to do a great interview. Awesome.

[@mvpautodetailing]

I'm addicted to your show man! And I don't have any addictions...lol. grew up in the 70's-80's and loved, loved playing, listening to music, depicting music like you do, and man, I identify with you and feel and see what you are heating when you describe the musician and music. LOVE! LOVE WHO you are and what you're doing with your show!! You're a great listening and truly understand how to interview and run a show with un-necessary interruptions!! Love to mee you someday! It would be an honor!!! -Jerry. Owner of an automotive shop in Los Angeles.

[@jimicunningable]

Half way through - this is one of your most fun, guitar appreciating vids ever, Rick. TYVM Sir Dude.

[@DweedleDeeDweedleDoo]

I'm so happy you re-uploaded this! I was halfway thru and had to refresh and it was private! I didn't mind the original audio issue at all, but you're a pro and we appreciate your meticulousness.

[@zeyadhamza8791]

Do you happen to know what was the audio issue? I’m so glad it’s reuploaded… I was worried it was like some sort of exclusive that wasn’t supposed to be public or something when it suddenly stopped playing lol

[@DweedleDeeDweedleDoo]

@@zeyadhamza8791 I'm not quite sure if it was that Rick's audio was lost for some time and he dubbed over it or if the audio of the whole session was pitched down unintentionally... either way it wasn't a terrible distraction. However I didn't get to the playing segment in my first watch, so I don't know if that was affected in pitch either - I can't say if it was an overdub or accidental down-pitch for certain because of that. I doubt the video's contents changed at all, but I also can't be fully certain on that either. I'd assume its the same contents.

[@eweesplace]

Love this. And yes, Pete Thorn is the Bob Ross of demos. He makes anyone think they can do it, while being in a class of his own and letting the tone take him (and you) somewhere to paint happy pictures. ❤

[@alivewtwmusic]

Watching That Pedal show, has not only inspired me to buy many great pedals, but lead me to find your channel, Rick. It also turned me on to Anderton's, Chappers, Rabea, Danish Pete and many other channels.

[@JasonAyalaSpare]

Terrific interview, I love these channel collaborations.

[@Adipsia1]

What only 45 minutes ? This video should be 3hrs at least. I loved every short minute. :)

I had a Lab Series 100w. Loved that amp

[@mc5228]

I have been a fan of that pedal show and you for years. Love this.

[@charlesbranch4120]

Thank you! I'm grinning so wide about the Stonehenge bit, as I watched the rockumentary of a Duran Duran tour years ago and shortly after (or before?) watched Spinal Tap, and "They nailed it!" so well... 🤣

[@peterwurzel1703]

I would love to see you interview Chris Buck! Love what you are doing BTW.

[@tituschalk]

Man, the pressure to play expensive chords in front of Rick. I’d have broken down!

The Mistress is my favorite too. Can't go without it.

[@TheRealHucasys]

Awesome! Love the 3 of you, long time fan of all. Rick...I've tried to comment this before, I think it would be great if you did videos on tracking, for guitars, vocals, etc., mic placement, pre amps, amps, the kind of stuff you were commenting here of when you were producing metal bands. Hope you see this! Great video.

[@VisualGuy]

I watch other guitar KZbin channels too. Glad to see you all did a version for both channels. I loved your episode!

[@andyracksthecams]

A lot of it is proper use of the English language. Great YT videos are made so much better with good grammar! Rick speaks better English than many English, his lines are definitive because he has a teaching background and knows how to deliver. You just know it is time to listen.

I've served coffee to every member of Spinal Tap, even Rob Reiner, just not the drummer

[@shanethackeray1988]

Great interview, good to see Mick after all these years, I used to watch his editorials on Guitarist Magazine.

[@SuperBriansmoke]

Great interview. When I joined my band last year, I was going to go through my modeller to a monitor and pa. I decided instead to use my 18 watt Marshall clone with a few pedals. For the first time in my life, I’m putting a microphone in front of my amp and getting an actual physical/emotional/visceral connection between my thoughts, my fingers, my guitar/amp and my ears. I don’t get that using a modeller. I use my modeller in a wedding band and it’s perfect for that. It’s just a different thing. Can’t beat a guitar and a tube amp.

[@rocketchile]

the best crossover ever! love them all

[@gregnikiel6174]

Rick is a perfect fit w/ you two, awesome!…

[@pauleddy5146]

Dan and Mick are great. I try to help, don't buy pedals as I don't play, I just have the ear and technical curiosity. Always loved guitar, organ whatever can be amped and pedaled or slid (slides on the organ) to change the vibe of the instrument. Acoustic is pure, yes, and it takes a master to allow it room to sing. Electronics on the other hand, allow a myriad of choices, from clean to crunch to downright filthy in the tones a player can sample. Textures and moods are endless with electronic enhancement in the hands of a player. The producer can describe the mood expected and between he and the player, find magic for the music. Love your shows Rick. Everyone has something to offer musically, you just have to take the time to listen and understand the backstory, or route they took to understand where they're coming from.

[@tardcore4life]

would like to see these guys get together with PGS Andy. He was one of the OG gear demo masters.

[@LOGO98]

Fantastic video for the dynamics of amp variations. So informative. Thank you for doing this video. I will be watching it again for sure!!

I HAVENT WATCHED THIS YET BUT THIS IS THE BEST COLLAB I COULD EVER THINK OF

[@shalomshalom735]

Loved this conversation. Great initiative Rick !!

[@Hamerguy68]

yes, I have seen and followed them all, Mike Thorn, PHil X, Greg Koch, That pedal Show, Andertons, Scotts Bass Lessons, The Bass whisperer, Rick Beato, Mike Hermans, Dr. Mix, Trogly's, Piano with Johnny and couple of other people. What is the common thing to all these, they do professional quality stuff. It is not only their performance, but also the way stuff is recorded, camera, cutting. Of course, they also have topics, that are interesting.
