Melodic Polyrhythms and Metric Modulations

[@keithbguitar5627]

So you were improvising in the beginning and you remembered everything you did? That is impressive.

[@RickBeato]

+Keith B Guitar It was easy to remember because it was simple :) I was actually trying to do all triplets but accidentally went into the 16ths haha!

[@DevelopingNL]

Maybe he just has a high IQ and a good memory.

[@Lavitz321]

Rick, thank you very much for all your videos. I'm self taught, meaning that I don't have proper education in music, your videos help me everyday to be a better composer. I can assure you, I've never learned so much in my life than with your videos.

[@LordHar]

11 minutes of Rick Beato equals 5 years of hard studying to do. Thanks ;)

[@ANIBALBARBARIAN]

i was thinking the same after watching this video, jaja

[@emiguimpel8878]

Rick your content is amazing! I always look up your videos to expand my songwriting creativity and experience new sounds, thanks a lot!

[@garrybrown7372]

Rick, your combined knowledge and creative flow is astounding, inspiring and uncannily demonstrates how it is possible to gain direct access to the unconscious and infinite mind. Also I really appreciate your "straight to the point " teaching method. Cheers Garry.

[@iancostello3923]

That Metric Modulation example at the end sounds so gorgeous.

[@Lornespapertowel]

So much information in one video... awesome. Thanks Rick!

[@chrisshemwell2277]

i would love to see a video covering more in depth, advanced metric modulation. And if not that, at least do a modern concepts video with elements like playing in quintuplets and sevenlets compared to playing in 5/8 and 7/8

[@Jamsville]

Wow, that A Add 9 sounds so cool on the ii-V!!!!!!

[@HanBurritoz]

Hey Rick, could you cover gradual time signature changes? One example would be in the Bartók's 2nd string quartet in the 2nd movement.

[@kpmaynard]

Rick, I'm not ashamed to suggest that you do this one real slow. . it's creating hip sounds. Great demonstration of your mastery. thanks.

[@3amsleep]

Rick you did the final fantasy arpeggio there 6:30

[@mikepostdrums]

Haha yeah.. FFVII intro theme.

[@matthewramroop]

So when is that prog album comin' out?

[@kickbiker7920]

I was drawn to this by the title Melodic polyrhythms .... Great stuff Rick

[@mikiegood]

Rick, you are no mere mortal. Thank you for sharing.

[@Raddland]

Pretty sick guitar chops, man.

[@mark-ze4en]

nice Rick! Thanks. the metric concepts are very helpful as I am finding your in depth and focused attention to the Modal scales. I am playing more guitar now than usual (studio is run amok) but the modes are more at the front of my melody lines. Don't bruise yourself being 'too' productive! Your videos are very helpful.

[@juanborjas6416]

This is one the few times where I am completely lost in one of your videos.

[@RickBeato]

Juan Borjas where did you get lost? Triplets 1/8ths to 4 note Triplet groupings to 1/4 triplets to a superimposed 4/4 short piano piece based on the quarter note triplet. I thought it was a logical progression. This is just using Melodic lines in place of drums. I suppose I could've use the whiteboard to show how they were lined up but I thought it was obvious. I demonstrated the chord aggression that I was soloing over at the beginning. Then I showed him how to play triplets over it. Then I showed how to group the triplets in four note groups. Then I did it on the piano using the notation so you could see how the triplets were grouped.

[@leemaples1806]

dont listen to us knuckle draggers rick. you know the saying, you can lead a horse to water.....:-D

[@kindlin]

I'm not sure how this got tossed into my recommended list, but the title had me saying _WAT_ and I had to click it. I was not disappointed.

[@deLeonGuitarStudio]

I got lost in the last half. Music notation showing everything you were talking about would have made it crystal clear, for me.

[@juanborjas6416]

Rick Beato Thank you so much for answering. I did not watch the piano/sheet music part when I commented, now that I watched it I think I understand it more.

[@lukejav818]

Hey Rick your lessons are amazing! Could you please make a video about piano/keyboards licks and patterns played on guitar??? I would love it!!!

[@blackout1111]

Would love to see a vid on guitar tone tips. Im curious about cranking up / playing light, playing with guitar volume rolled back a little, point of diminishing return for gain settings, pickup switching mid song etc.

[@thetrippasnippingsasquatch6539]

Could you do a video on ear training in relation to guitar?

[@orlandoclemente2030]

Very beautiful.

[@michaelfadian]

Rick, is there any way you could do a Sounding Off segment with Vinnie Colaiuta? Not sure if you are friendly with him, but he's definitely a master of metric modulation and a wealth of other information I'm sure. I enjoyed you're interview with Dennis Chambers a lot.

[@fearlabsaudio7815]

Nice lesson dude. Nice....

[@stevekellar1403]

COOL STUFF !

[@RobMoreno335]

Am I missing something? The notation looked like standard three note groupings? Thanks for the vid Rick, you are the real deal.

[@RickBeato]

+RM M It's triplets but the groupings are in four. You have to actually look at the notes to see the groupings. It makes it sound like it it's 4:3.

[@ThePhlegming]

4:47 Rick plays the opening for Fields by Hammers of Misfortune

[@redlotus1138]

Great video- Can you provide notation for the metric modulation at the end?

[@thesoundengine]

Wow. Rick, you're bloody awesome. What other kinds of music do you delve into? Anything odd? This could be listening, performing or composing.

[@willlacy112]

The part at the end though with the linear piano runs!!!

[@JonMulveyGuitar]

Go Rick Go!! Can't wait for a million subs!!:-) When is Joe coming on?

[@AquanautSt1]

Het Rick, I have Never purchased a non electronic instrument even ( korg keyboard ) I do own a rhodes 77 , please advise. Love Jazzy sounding guitar & Piano ! Regards !

[@hthedinga]

Do you use that EBow much?

[@edwinasencio9409]

Greetings Rick. I was wondering what can you tell me about nested rhythms? This is a new concept that i only just found out about and im wrapping my head around it. Thank you for your videos!

[@jordanstallings4502]

Hey Rick! I'm wanting to know more about schenkarian analysis, but I'm not finding much about it online. Do you have any good resources or a video you could point me to?

[@DannyMcCaffrey]

Another great vid. But I still don't know how to count Satriani's "Time". Fml.

[@abhinashtechdeathchuck8855]

Sir please explain the solo of the spiraling void by The Faceless...if you have time plz give it a listen....

[@kickbiker7920]

All your clips bear constant re-watching .... I'm learning things I didn't know I didn't know ... as it were. inspirational. Greetings from London UK

[@daicon2k6]

I tried to watch this but my brain exploded about a minute into it.

[@joseortiz-fw7by]

Hey rick, how would you go about teaching guitar to someone who already plays piano, and is familiar with chords and music theory? I am in this position, and I find that guitar teachers on KZbin are more familiar with beginners, as many try to learn guitar as their first instrument. If anyone else has any tips, let me know. Thanks!

[@DevelopingNL]

So you think in chords? Do you know the name and relation of every note you hit? Or is it scale and chord based?

[@dentoncrimescene]

Oh, he knows all of it.

[@HamadaElMnsour]

Rick why aren't you in Guitcom?

[@RickBeato]

I don't know what that is.

[@danielthalen3055]

Has some similarities to the intro of "Fireworks" by Blue Oyster Cult

[@cglasford1]

Do you feel it is a necessity or more beneficial to take the educational route (music school) or just get on the road as early as you can gigging and sitting in as often as possible and earn your strips the old fashioned way, through the school of hard knocks, such as someone like Derek Trucks or Joe Bonamassa who started sitting in at jams at 9 or 10 and gigging at 12 and never looked back or basically most all of the 60s and 70s guitar heroes. They seem to be extremely knowledgeable about music and are very successful. The Samari Guitarist said on his channel in his video about going to Music school that statistically music school doesn’t help you to become a professional musician, do you agree with this?

[@leemaples1806]

srry as i was noodling and half listening to the lesson but i sorta stumbled on something funny as you played the progression, i started finger picking one two three four,playing major chord notes desending chromaticly on beat one of each measure and it still sorta sounded right. lol

[@tdubveedub]

I used to do this on the drums, as well as compound meters. Back. then I thought that I thought of it. Hahaha

[@Forte_FX]

I’d prefer those chops on a strat thru a twin reverb!

[@sp00g37]

I've loved polyrhythms for years, but I'm growing bored of it, modes haven't been engaging me enough at the moment, but metric modulation has just blown my mind out. ill play to something and wonder why there's always a triplet before a complete sound change. it feels like a cheat code for transitions.

[@n7275]

Woah.

[@Forte_FX]

what about the accent floating and increasing by one count per revolution still maintaining musicality

[@basdoc]

HI RICK

[@SamuelKristopher]

As an amateur musician/composer, I just can't stop watching these videos, hoping that one day, I'll understand what the hell Rick is talking about :))))

[@grantlapointe3845]

Hi Rick I love Donna Lee :D

[@davidsummerville351]

I'd like to have that guitar

[@Thevitamindealer]

Very Joe Passian haha love it!

[@bradleykearns]

When rick beato plays guitar lines... wahh

[@jaded8863]

Oh hey i'm pretty early thats nice

[@andreparoni]

so 12/8?

[@JensLarsen]

Sort of, but you kind of feel it as a 6/8 or 3/4 (with 16ths sub division)

[@andreparoni]

Jens Larsen omg you replied!!! Hahahah thank you, Jens! It makes perfect sense now

[@JensLarsen]

I have a few videos on it but they are a bit old. There's a new one coming soon, I shot it last week! :)

[@andreparoni]

Jens Larsen Awesome!!! Will definitely check them out!

[@JensLarsen]

Just search for triplets. They are a bit old...

[@JonMulveyGuitar]

Btw? Do you at least gig around town? You should be out playing:-)

[@juangerardobucio2196]

Love your videos, but way too advance for me 🙁

[@royverges]

This is a lees on for advanced players. Wonderful though.

[@royverges]

Sorry, lesson not lees...

[@desiree7683]
