I don't distinguish between your channels - I see a Rick Beato topic that I'm interested in and I watch it. I don't even notice which channel it is.

[@EstebanAguilarSax]

Same here, sometimes I wonder why even have two channels. 🤷‍♂️

[@jaakkokaartinen563]

Same here, too.

[@anthonywhite2960]

Same

[@OwnYourBaldSpot]

I see Rick Beato, I click. No need to overthink it. Not playing too much into marketing bs, musical or otherwise, is one of the many reasons you’re so respected

[@scottsnothome5649]

The channels are fine, stop over thinking it Rick. More what makes this song great is always welcome. I do think you should spend more time pre-interview on what you hope to learn.

[@ThomasWBaldwin]

wow, stereo thinking! scary!

[@ThomasGGall]

Dear Rick, me gf and me appreciate you very much. I myself interested in all things guitar started a deeper journey some years ago. At age 66 now the only regret I carry, that was a bit late We both love your deeply felt enthusiasm for high-quality music and the way you share your thoughts, your knowledge plus, last, but not least show your feelings about it. How many of your listeners have started to study an instrument by ear and hand? I'm just one, I'm sure right now and here there are many. That's great! ❤️ In short: contagious! I'm glad there is no anti-rick-beato-vaccine, but your two music-virus channels. Everybody feel free to get a fair amount of R. B. ❤ We wonder how many of your listeners have started to study an instrument by ear and hand? I'm just one, I'm sure there are many. That's great! Best wishes from Germany, from us & my guitars

[@jimmycampbell78]

Yeah, I don't want to see the channel dumbed down for people with short attention spans.

[@Dwendele]

I think his interviews are some of the best out there. The musicians open up and talk so freely with Rick.

[@petehealy9819]

Couldn't agree more!

[@PatriciaSobralArtz]

It's true that a lot of us are not musicians, I'm not one, I'm an artist, but I love music. I grew up in the 70s and 80s, and I listen to a lot of the bands you talk about. I suppose your demographic is older, too. So, It kind of makes sense that your audience watches completely unrelated stuff. The thing about both of your channels that appeals to me is the nostalgia and the passionate way you talk about music. It brings me back, and I absolutely love it.

[@KeithKenobi]

Yes! Another non-musician here, but I play a mean stereo! And I share with my kids and friends!

[@c1ph3rpunk]

Sounds like you need a “what makes this channel great” series so you can figure it out.

[@jivanbansi9640]

Great!

[@georgecarney3083]

The channel is a good source of education and enlightenment. It should stay as you are doing a great job.

[@Steve-L]

I am not a musician, but love music and your content even this 2nd channel.

[@ThomasWBaldwin]

Rick is perfect. Humblest talented all around guy I have seen on this platform Steve Vie is a good guy as well.

[@vowe2music]

Rick, I love your videos and I never check which channel they are on. I see your face, I hear your voice and I listen to what you have to say. Maybe you are overthinking. You could have ten and then I would subscribe to all of them. But I may be missing one. Why not put them all in one channel. You are the brand, not some random name.

[@jhgmusic]

Dude - anything you post, I’m watching. 🙂

[@AndyMcIntire]

I like the idea of showcasing live new music, feature performances, and collaborations with musical guests.

[@mouseshadow5828]

I like what you're doing. Musicians enjoy talking to you because you know music. If your guest is having fun, everybody's having fun. Having them play for a while is a great idea. Maybe expand on that.

[@timdanner2596]

I hope you don't stop posting clips. That's usually my entry (and motivation) to watching a full episode. Other times, I may not have the time or interest in watching the full video, so checking the clips is a nice alternative. Another channel that I subscribe to posts full interviews and has a second channel that is just clips from the interviews.

[@stephenkahlig1494]

Rick, you do so many different things with the channel. It’s just nice to know that I can slide in one day and learn the chords of a Nirvana song, or hear about some cool jazz history. I tune into the interviews the most, but this multipurpose thing you’ve got going on is awesome. I don’t know the difference between different channels. I just look at what’s going on and click in

[@chrissharkey9644]

These channels have given so much to us the listener! I think it’s time for Rick to do whatever he finds joy in his life doing!

[@lawfirmcfo8930]

Modify What Makes This Song great by also deconstructing a song or artist to its influences so we can connect it to what came before.

[@anthonyp-gx3mk]

I love the channel, I love to see how you worked as producer, show how you produce bands or similar to that were you got together with some friends and recorded an original. Showing the process and talking us through it.

[@divernater]

Love your channels Rick. I'd love to see More of what makes this song great

[@deangoritz9625]

Dang missed it live again. Intro brought back memories rick Yeah man, old school stuff, in depth production , live streams , theory etc

[@user-gl5ld9vm7i]

Please, honor David Sanborn. He contributed a lot of great music to many artists throughout the 70s, 80s, and 90s. Not only his own music, but he's also played w/David Bowie, Bruce Springsteen, Sonny Rollins, Bob James,Red Hot Chili Peppers, Sting, Eric Clapton. James Taylor>>"How sweet it is".That's Sanborn playing that famous sax line!

[@williambarry8015]

That show Night Music i believe was the best TV music show.

[@gville612]

All that sax you hear in the Lethal Weapon movies? That was him too. RIP.

[@rc-st9pg]

Appreciate your humble and respectful approach to the people you interview. Its good to see humble people in this day and age. A rare commodity.

[@wietzejohanneskrikke1910]

I've caught myself watching mainly Rick Beato 2. The interviews are always insightful, emotional and even funny. It's so amazing to get to know the people behind all the fantastic music. What strikes me is their humility and kindness. I see what you are doing on this channel as an invaluable service to mankind. We must preserve the legacy of the musical geniuses amongst us in these times of fleeting fads and short attention spans. Keep up the great work, Rick.

[@user-md7tf9hg8y]

Agree with Kevin. 'Your connection with music and musicians is super special'. OK you have knowledge, skills and wide experience but every time you post you share that part of you that just loves good music wherever it comes from. That is why you are loved by artists and audience alike. Keep doing what you are doing, the way you are doing it. I'll watch it all on whatever channel.

[@gfn-er8pw]

This is your channel, so the channel should represent you and everything you love, hate and are influenced by in music. Who were/are your influences, hero's. I watch your channel cause I'm an amateur musician, and I love to learn more. It helps me to improve.

[@GM-5150]

I would start with “ branding” Beato 2 with a different look. Green screen your background showing a different image than your studio shot you use on Beato I. I would incorporate the name of the second channel in the background so each channel is instantly identifiable from each other. Once you have a different immediately identifiable look for each channel, you can hone in on the difference between the channels. Good luck with whichever way you decide to take it! Always a fan!

[@sirrobin4394]

I like your format just the way it is. This is one of the few channels where I can just sit and chill while I watch excellent content.

[@imdownthehouse]

I'm not a musician but I love music very much. I also love channels like this because I learn about lots of new artists. Hearing Rick Beato and others like him explain the importance of artists and their creations means so much to me.

[@jasonmerrill]

I agree, the second channel's purpose has always been a mystery to me. I would love to see channel 2 dedicated to industry/producer-related content, like your interviews with Ted Gloria, Brendan O'Brien, Niclas Molinder, etc. I'm not even a musician but find that content fascinating.

[@matthewryan3252]

Love both channels! You gotta see about getting the Queen of Slide guitar on. Miss Bonnie Raitt

[@gtrdrumsplayerduarte]

One amazing topic never discussed on this channel is rehearsing online. It's a huge tool and a working game changing

[@JeffreyFriend]

Keep on keepin’on. Love it as is!

[@rustyrobinson8027]

I'll watch whatever you post I enjoy the long form interviews let the guest tell their stories 👍🇺🇸

[@NaturalPhilosopherTV]

The music is fab! So beautiful, so mature! Kudos🙏

[@paulrogers6037]

This would be a good studio-oriented channel. Recording techniques, studio design, engineering interviews, how/why to choose which plugins or outboard gear to use in certain situations, things like how the Beatles' songs sound so different using the same gear year after year. Demos about how great engineers actually set up in the studio, etc. interviews, etc.

[@predictivesolutionsltd9662]

Video doesn't play, but based on title alone, the reason i love your channel is because you just talk about things and interview people you're interested in. I am interested in how you became you, and how you think about music. Thank you Rick.

[@jaybloom2014]

RICK BEATO PRO; I’d like to see the “2” channel geared towards musicians, recording engineers, etc. Not solely working pros, but that part of your audience that are more interested in going into the musical weeds with you.

[@chrisvanbuggenum871]

I love both your channels. Please don't quit or change anything. Only thing I'd like is to know what band guests are from in the title.

[@BoWadeOnDrums]

I Love your teaching and interview style.

[@algardner5955]

More “What Makes This Song Great!” Really appreciate your genius!!

[@musicaelectrorganica1098]

All the best from Mexico Rick, you are the man!

[@bobchow178]

Honestly one of the best things ever is the Rick Beato show.

[@daveolssonmusic]

I loved the Bill Schnee interview and that seems like the perfect thing for RB2. Maybe RB1 is for the famous, popular stuff, artists, songs, albums, etc. and RB2 is more educational, behind the scenes people, places, music theory, tech talk, such like. "Beato Beyond"?

[@commonman317]

Don't overthink it too much. Really been enjoying the longer interviews lately. Rick has a way of asking better questions to his guests, unlike the typical media interviews.

[@splashesin8]

There's that music I always loved in your older intros❣️😊

[@jobu9224]

Hey Rick! You are a fantastic interviewer. So many talented acts out there...

[@MattHumphrey2408]

Rick you’re a solid human being. That is first and foremost and what I recognized after spending time watching hung both channels. And I share your passion and love for Everything Music! So awesome you share that with your children ❤️That’s the best. I also appreciate your introspection, and hustle. You have left your imprint for sure and anything “Behind the Curtain, W Rick” Count me in!!!

[@riffking2651]

Well I was listening to your previous conversation with Ted, and I thought getting a regular "Beato Top 10" would be great. Find some new emerging talent and give them a shout out. Biggest problem for a lot of us is breaking through the noise of everything else is out there. It'd be cool to see the support of the bands that you think are doing great stuff, and give your audience something fresh to check out

[@michaelparker3709]

Great idea, start with The Karma Effect, a great rock band from the UK. 😎👌 🇬🇧

[@bossfan49]

Rick, we all know you have your favorites.. U2, Beatles, Journey, Boston, Tool, Alice in Chains, Steely Dan, The Police/Sting, Metallica, Queen, Nirvana... along with your jazz cats and prog-metal bands. Here's a brief list of major bands/artists that have barely (or NEVER) been discussed on your channel. It would be really cool to find a way to feature some of these artists. (I realize some of them may be blockers.) *Alice Cooper, Bad Company, The Band, Blondie, Blues Traveler, Bob Seger, Bruce Springsteen, Bryan Adams, The Clash, The Commodores, CSN&Y, Eddie Money, ELO, Elvis Costello, Foreigner, The Guess Who, Hall & Oates, Heart, Huey Lewis, INXS, Iron Maiden, Jackson Browne, Jefferson Airplane/Starship, Jethro Tull, CCR/John Fogerty, John Mellencamp, Kenny Loggins, Kool & The Gang, Little River Band, The Moody Blues, Pat Benatar, REO Speedwagon, Rod Stewart, Styx, Supertramp, Talking Heads.*

[@thecolorpitschannel5003]

Love hearing and discovering current bands/artists that are pretty much unknown but worth listening to.

[@disliked1390]

Listen Rick. I just love the interviews with the huge stars and engineers and you going in absolute crazy details about it all even when I don't really undeurstand everything because it's so technical. It makes me go and research what you are talking about and making me more knowledgable about music and the absolute work that goes with it. Don't dumb it down for anyone. Maybe you can put the big interviews on the main channel and keep the music nerd stuff here. Dosen't matter I will watch it all. Call it "Rick Beato Extras" "Rick Beato : In Depth" somethiung like that

[@disliked1390]

Beato's B Sides

[@josephfranks1685]

My feedback from watching both channels, love the interviews, love the lessons, I would love to see more tone tips, not just for recording but live. I’m a gigging guitar player …ie clubs bars ect, but there’s option overload in terms of pedals and effects ie how to dial in a great live lead sound , how to mix live instruments , I see more recording focused videos which is also great, other than that I love everything

[@christophergetchell6490]

I missed this while I was actually practicing and working on a song idea for another band. I like the "soundstage" channel rebrand idea. A good idea for this or maybe even another channel would be to document some of the production of Billionaire's recording. I was lucky being an early watcher on the original channel when there were major music theory videos, which got me pulled back into music somewhat before it became an intense interest again in 2020. I would not be surprised if I watched all of yours and many other music KZbinrs' videos during those months from where everything was standing still. Your video with Ted today brought me a little bit of faint hope that there could be a place for me in a future music scene even though I'm not young anymore like that business prefers. I'd really love to be involved in something like artist development and production, and of course, write some really good songs. I have songs that have been stuck in my brain for a few decades now and your channel actually taught me how to name those sounds so that I could just get them on to instruments for later use. I'd really like to now learn the production part of the equation so that I can fully actualize these things that sound like full productions in my head now that I know how they would fit on the instruments I do play. I hope that there are other people who watch these channels that feel as intensely as I do about music now and feel inspired to go out there and make something happen.

[@Adam-ov5ie]

Never been much of a fan of second channels unless there is a clear stylistic or content difference. Otherwise I often wonder what the purpose is. I know both channels have some differences but it's never felt big enough to necessarily justify.

[@grindercap]

Indeed looking forward a more distinct name for the channel would seem the be beneficial.

[@OmnyDevi]

only thing i can think of, would be perhaps to use this as a means to go over your Beato book contents. its doable for a noob to follow the book, but somewhat painful to follow when all of the info is completely new to an unexperienced person. but love what ya do in any case. just make sure it keeps you sane and makes you happy, whichever road you end up going down. ^^

[@shaunkirby273]

I’m subscribed to both channels and I love both of them and I can’t play one instrument at all but I really enjoy your videos Rick, do what you want but I’m still following

[@michaelparker3709]

22:30 ish, this list contains many channels that have been recommended (pushed) at me, because I watch your channel. I've watched some, they're ok, some are very good, but I try to watch everything Beato, because you get it right. You are the best, why would I watch the rest? I'm not a musician, but I'm very interested in music. You have helped me discuss music with musicians. You've helped understand what I love about great songs and why. Your interview short clips have pulled me into full interviews with people I didn't know I'd find interesting. The variety is what makes your channel so good. RB1, RB2, RB anything, What makes..., interviews, Top 10, Studio talk, Rick & Family, Rick & Friends, What Rick done last night, What Rick had for breakfast.... who cares what channel it's on. It'll probably be more interesting than most others. Suggestions: Channel name: Rick Rolled Handy channel addition: You often mention specific related old shows that we should check out. It not easy to do. Maybe add a link in the subject text? Maybe create video 'Playlists' Early days highlights "In the Beginning" "What Makes..." oldest first "Interviews" alphabetical "Music Theory" Etc. ❤

[@claudiofernandes9834]

Rick, you're a superb musician, wonderful human being and it must be great to have a chat with you. Musicians love to talk to you because you are in the same realm, they know what you really care about is the music. One thing I really miss is the "What Makes This Song Great" series. That's what brought me to your channel in the first place, to see you breaking down songs I love and listened for a long time. That's my two cents. Hope it's useful.

[@jimhawkes]

Love to see something along the process of creating track from inception, writing, rehearsals, recording, production etc.

[@brandonlackey9810]

I would love to hear from bands like Chevelle and Nothing More about the creative process and the business. I have always wanted interviewers to ask artist which songs were their favorite from an album, or which song should have been released as a single or which songs sound better live, etc.

[@TheSpydersBand]

I like keeping tabs on just one channel. I follow a LOT of channels, so the more concentrated the better.

[@jerryhill8281]

What makes this song great is the best though, and why I subscribed. Love listening to someone breakdown a song that's not my friends, and I. Someone who knows down to the small details.

[@SuperLeica1]

The Dirty Loops interview was top notch! You presented an active contemporary live band in a nice lo-key mood, letting them describe what they do and who they are. Interesting to learn how top quality music can emerge, though far beyond the Billboard lists. Also your co-op with Nahre Sol about scales was interesting, far beside the mainstream genres. And Gowan, Mancuso, Carlton & co, (a looong list). Just go on! Please, just don't fall into the "Microsoft trap" - they sometimes focus on learning from their mistakes, but forget to learn from their successes.

[@jusplainmark]

Would love to see more content, from your extensive knowledge of recording. I need help with things like- setting a channel for recording, getting levels, placing mics, recording effects wet/ dry, unique drum mic placements, like setting mics to pan left to right when going around the toms. Anything about basics of recording. Lots of us have DAWs now- but have little knowledge of good studio technique. Appreciate you so much!!

[@disliked1390]

I agree about that. I'd love to see in depth stuff about how to record a record from A to Z in details.

[@4unkb0y]

Rick, I love that you make both the clips & highlights as well as the full interviews available in separate formats. If you don't release clips & highlights anymore, it would be super if you could index the main video so folks without a lot of time can skip to the juicy bits please.

[@franklincheney3653]

I'd like to hear a short intro jam, and longer outro jam, where you play along with various mega-hits, your personal favorites, or showing quality backing tracks, perhaps including a gear/guitar brand demo when fitting. They talk is cheap, but yours are priceless. Adding music would be a deep bonus.

[@dk7295]

Love your channel! I'm a little disappointed how you haven't talked about PJ's latest album. It is some of their best work. They are among the best live bands if not the best. Perhaps you could do a video about what makes a great live band???

[@universalmeditation8631]

Pretty awesome you’re asking the viewers for input. IMHO, you need more composers like Christophe Beck, John Powell, Michael Giacchino, Bryan Tyler and Tyler Bates.👍🏼

"Rick's Picks" the channel where you pick out any subject, topic, interview you WANT. The audience will show up regardless just to see what it will be and likely love it. Topics we might have never dived into, but glad we did.

Main suggestion for you - an easily accessible (possibly on website as KZbin tries to obscure this sort of access) database of ALL your videos, searchable by date, interviewee, topic, song, clip or Longford. In other words, all the information you must have already. KZbin does not make it easy to search at this level of resolution. I watch your material for two or three hours most days, so this would really help me and other subscribers. I already have bought your bundle, of course

I'm not a musician. But your channel is fascinating. It's a lot like when my father would take an engine or drive train apart a teach me what each part was for. I'm also not mechanically inclined, but it was fascinating and I learned a lot. I'd say that you should dig in to less successful or well known songs by genius musicians. Songs on Floyd's Final Cut for instance. Keep it up.

[@donlovell6708]

Myself and my poor musician friends and family have gained so much great knowledge from your efforts. We are creating some amazing original tunes old school with real instruments, good tone and our chops. My bucket list is to record our combined efforts at Leon Russell’s Church Studio in Tulsa. I would love to recruit Rick Beato to produce us so it gets done right. Keep inspiring us

Beautiful music in the intro where really something happens and you know it's intelligent and so you stay alert and interestet. Maybe start composing and recording songs in live streams, but in a common home studio setup ? Respect to Rick Beato the best teacher and motivator on KZbin 🙏🏼✌🏼

[@michaelfaeth]

I like the idea of interviewing artists that have yet to break and giving them much needed exposure. I also like the idea of reviewing songs by lesser known, indie bands, like was mentioned in the chat.
