Rick Beato At That Pedal Show! [Recording Guitar Tips, Producing & More]

[@RickBeato]

It was such an honor to be on the show! Thanks so much guys🙏🏻

[@millmoormichael6630]

I know it’s a long shot but as a huge fan of both channels I’d love for you guys to check my band’s new single: The Quiet Calls. Song is called ’First Point of Aries’. Cheers and million thanks!

[@sampitomusic]

Thanks to Mick, Dan and you Rick for sharing your passion and knowledge. About the ability of music to reinvent itself, the impact of DAWs, analog vs digital : I encourage you to go watch Fred Again..'s Tiny Desk Concert. There's no guitar in it but it's the best of both worlds : real instruments playing, emotion, mastering digital tools, sound shaping and the driving pulse brought by the techno revolution.

[@keeponplaying2625]

Ty for sharing your experience(s) Rick. Inspiring, i will try to explore playing with less again. It's part of the AC/DC sound. Interesting!

[@gabemcmillan]

You rock Rick! Keep up the great work!

[@th0r904]

Rick is the best! I watch as many of his videos as I can. I cannot put them down. Very rare for KZbin!

[@GoodVibeTribe]

I met Rick at NAMM. We stood and chatted, mainly about our kids. He is “real” and he deserves his fame, I’m so happy for him and I’m so happy he is the greatest music teacher/ music ambassador in history.

[@winstonsmith8240]

Everyone that's met him says the same. Some of the greatest musicians on the planet seem to have respect for him too. Hard not to. His talent is massive and he's a very personable guy. Loves music with a passion, and isn't a snob. I hate him. 😅 ( I bet he's a good dad too. 😉).

[@Dusty-Shades]

he is the GOAT

[@krismerwood1]

I’m recently becoming aware of Mick’s talent as an interviewer. It’s a joy to watch!

[@christovammatheus5208]

Exactly!

[@mikedr1549]

His experience with the guitar magazine serves him well for sure.

[@billgreen3629]

Watch his interview with Joe B if you haven’t seen it.

[@ThatPedalShow]

Thank you kindly!

[@emdblues]

certainly a better interviewer than a guitar player 😂

[@gejskelly]

This is like watching the Avengers, we just need Captain Anderton, Danish Pete, Paul Davids, 5 Watt Keith, Jeff McErlain, and Corey Congilio to defeat the evil Algo-Rhythm and save KZbin

I’m 62 years old , started playing 6 years ago and recording in the last 4 years. My garage is now a music studio. I am super appreciative of the knowledge you guys and Rick bring to us . I recently found my tone that I have been trying to find for years , ( Mentioned in this video) Turn the gain down ! . Thanks so much for what you do .

[@tinandgonic3927]

Own studio space is incredible. You're living the dream mate!

[@andersestes]

What makes Beato great? He obviously have a fantastic memory. When he has heard or learned something one time, he remember it forever. His mind is obviously also very good at problem solving. Figuring out complex challenges. Combine that with passion, a kind soul, and be able to express his thoughts.

[@Aeneas911]

Kudos to Rick, but do not underestimate the quality of your own channel. It just feels home talking gear stuff among passionate musicians. Keep up the nice work!

[@ThatPedalShow]

Chers mate

[@gouvernor]

@@ThatPedalShow Do you believe in life after love?

[@kentl7228]

If they are impressed by Rick Beato, which they are, then they have to be popular and good to have him spend his time with him. It's logic they should remember ))

[@mikedr1549]

Rick's knowledge just flows out of him so effortlessly. I could listen to him for hours.

“Why am i playing so badly today” - Mick Taylor after one flubb whilst filming some of the best, most tasteful playing i’ve heard from him

[@JakubKazmierski]

You guys are so adorable, you almost seem nervous around Rick. Your genuineness and excitement always come through, and it's really what makes the two of you stick out❤

[@foolhardymcpain]

I reckon what you’re sensing as nerves is probably just humility. Mick has interviewed the biggest names in the industry, and Dan is always hungry to learn.

[@JakubKazmierski]

@@foolhardymcpain I know Mick has interviewed some of the biggest names, but the interview is not what I'm referring to. It's when Mick started playing and asking about their sound. It was cute, it was genuine, and of course it comes from them being humble.

[@nealpike6611]

The dad's of tone all in one video So wholesome

[@JCYoo]

Legend. We all must protect him at all costs.

[@christopherkassner8894]

I had the opportunity too meet Rick back in the 80s. I was living in NYC . I was sitting on a bench just hanging out near Bleeker street and playing my acoustic. Up walks Rick. We talked for awhile and he asked me if I knew any stones songs. I started too play Angie. As it turns out it was his favorite stones song. Hard to believe that was so many years ago

[@brentporter9324]

When I saw Rick on Anderton's with Lee, I had my fingers crossed this collaboration was going to happen. This is such a great meeting of the minds from different perspectives of the guitar world. Thanks all for arranging this.

[@Sammywhat]

We must absolutely say Thank You! Rick is such a treasure to all musicians. So glad he's here on TPS!!! What a great episode!!!

[@savagecycles]

seeing dan and mick so star struck being in the room with rick just made my morning! great video guys

[@pedalgazer7109]

Oh my GOD this is a musical, informational, powerhouse all Star team! I've learned so much about pedals and gear from TPS, and so much about theory and production from Beato- I don't think you guys really get how much so many of us have benefitted from your collective knowledge, teaching, and insights!!!!

[@ThomasHope73]

Rick is a natural raconteur, but when it comes down to technical concepts he can really explain that stuff too! He did a great job today and always seems to handle interviews (on both sides) with aplomb. It's very impressive; I guess he's just really smart. Equally, Mick and Dan are endearing to watch, which is obviously why they're so popular. Great Show!

[@ProfessorHumblesDelusions]

After the future apocalypse, TPS and Beato videos will be rediscovered and will be hailed as the new religion!

[@Dontchangemynameok]

This is the interview I didn’t know I was waiting for and needed so desperately.

[@AlbusBand]

I hope everyone appreciates the subtle “what were they doing there” Spinal Tap reference 🙌. The talent and knowledge sitting in the room is unbelievable. Love this and love you 😘

[@philipatoz]

Man, this is about the ultimate guitar / sound geek-out discussion I've ever listened to. All of the great rock LPs have so much layering going on from during recording, effects, amps, the room, mike choices / setup - and then there's the mix-down tricks. And so much amazing stuff was done before the digital era went totally crazy. I'm in awe of Rick and great sound engineers. But Rick, he's that rare bird who has the chops, knows all the theory stuff, AND the engineering. Gosh, if there was ever a man who does what he was created to do - it's Rick! Not to mention, he's so entertaining and fascinating to listen to explain and deconstruct things. Great video, guys!

[@828guitar8]

Two of the most honest channels on KZbin having a chat, literally what makes this platform great!

[@SquareWaveSymphonies]

This is a very inspiring talk. I am about to turn 33, next week, I have a Master's degree in philosophy and I am in the final stages of writing my doctrate. Just recently, I decided that I want to do something completely different and study Audio Engineering, once I finished my Phd. This video seriously gives me hope for my future. ❤

[@smelltheglove2038]

Not trying to start a fight, I just don’t talk to many philosophy PhDs. Over the past few years in the US our government has been talking about having blue collar net tax payers such as myself pay for college graduates student loans…. Since you’re a philosophy doctor, do you think this is ethical? I mean, on its face it’s unfair, that’s obvious. Again, not trying to talk shit or anything, just like to get your viewpoint.

[@DetroitWrecker666]

Why not? First degree and PhD is COMPLETELY useless. May as well go ahead and get another completely useless degree. Then you can become an untalented, useless person and drag on the economy like the majority of your generation.

[@bbdeffect]

@@smelltheglove2038 Why should I have to pay for ethanol subsidies or bailing out people who choose to live in hurricane zones? Because we live in a society. Having young people with less debt to worry about is good for the economy in the long run because there is more freedom of movement from one job to another and entrepreneurship. Same is true of healthcare not tied to employer.

[@smelltheglove2038]

@@bbdeffect I don’t think we should have to do any of the things you mention. However, people that get hit with hurricanes usually have home owners insurance… most states it’s a law. Having lived in Va. Beach while my father was forced to move into the area because he was in the navy, and having lived through many hurricanes, I can say leaving the east coast of the United States un-settled is an asinine idea. It’s just as asinine as comparing a force of nature to people who signed a contractual agreement to repay a loan, then forcing those who didn’t sign that contract to pay for it. Economics aside, how is it ethical to force someone to pay for a contract that you signed and they didn’t. Also, if college was worth it, we wouldn’t even be having this conversation. If it was such a good investment, the person who went to college shouldn’t have any issue paying back said loan. As it stands now, if your education doesn’t get you job where you make enough to pay back the loan, you simply wasted time and resources. Your want to go to college is taking food out of my kids mouths. I took out a loan for my work truck as a young man. Since it’s bad for young people to be saddled in debt, and since my work truck is an investment for my future and helps the community by getting me to peoples homes to repair their heating and air, should I get tax payers to pay my loan too?

[@markslist1542]

Why did you just list out your academic background?

[@marksargeant1019]

After he was on Andertons I wondered if Rick was going to be on here 😀

[@benhanbury]

He's definitely doing the rounds!

[@SeanCampbell16]

He invited himself on both channels, its all about subscription to his own chanel from the UK,so he's good at marketing himself, quite rightly so, I prefer musicians on the show with their guitars and pedalboards.

That was great. Can’t wait to see D&M on Rick’s channel.

[@OttoBillstrom]

The man's a genius... Figuring out Carlton at fourteen is beyond mind boggling... When I was fourteen I was trying to master an F barre chord...

[@smelltheglove2038]

I kinda wish I didn’t learn barre chords first, I wish I had learned inversions first. To be fair, learning the “E” and “A” shape barre chord is a fantastic way to learn your root notes and you’re well on your way to understanding the fretboard.

[@StratsRUs]

​@Smell The Glove Learning the open chords and barre chords first is best for memorisation and placement/muscle memory. Then ideally revisiting them ,music-theoretically, later on and seeing the r,3,5 etc is a more satisfactory way of understanding the major scale and its magic. " Out of the emptiness. Salvation !! ". It's a Rock n Roll Creation.

[@EzyoMusic]

I think I was closer to 17 when I actually went in and tackled F barre. When I look back at it, the song I was learning at the time might not even use the full F barre. Still, I learned it because it felt like the right time to do it. Nowadays I "Hendrix" it most of the time.

[@jeffwithajay42]

When I was 14 I was just figuring out where Dad hid his special magazines!

[@The_Rude_French_Canadian]

Well to be fair, he took lessons 6 months after starting playing from a jazz musician on his paper route that owned a Music Store and his first electric was a Gibson Les Paul 😂 those things help lol

[@gbarge4]

At roughly 47:36: "It's all about the part. Any sound can sound good with the right part." I think that's something to dwell on a bit, to think of in the context of the discussion, the playing, the inflection. It's good to think of both backwards and forwards, as a tone can form the germ of a song idea, just as a song farther along in forming can inspire a search for a tone which could fit in. Of the many things said, that one thing resonated most for me. Thanks, guys.

[@lawrencehuston6679]

Wow what what a wealth of knowledge it would be to get to hang out with u gents AWSOME fellas Thanx👍

[@hugorivera9738]

I haven’t watched you guys in a bit because of life and frankly I got burned out with music because of the nasty association with religion. Watching you guys again made me remember the good times in my life associated to music and gear. Thank you guys and thank you Rick.

You guys have an awesome channel that I’ve been watching for quite some time now. Yes, I actually did subscribe today, yet your content is not lost on me one bit. Both of you guys are very talented players in my opinion, and have a lot going for you and your channel. I find it heartwarming that both of you seem like unworthy little kids while talking to Rick. Rick is amazing himself, don’t forget that you are too!

[@bradenrodriguez5183]

You guys are so charming and endearing. Please know that TPS is so much more than your regular KZbin channel. It's such a great balance of entertainment and knowledge but has the coolest community too. Also, Rick seems like a genuine, cool dude. I'll check out his online lessons, never to late to start learning theory.

53:52 that input was spot on (of course! It’s Rick…). Great interview, guys, you asked great questions… great point, when you get a sound in isolation, it’s one thing, when it’s in the live sound or recorded mix, it’s a new context… I think my ears a4e damaged, so I appreciate the extra highs that are probably too crispy for Rick

[@frankierodriguez8661]

Thanks a million though guys for bringing just the most talented guy on the internet. no other than mr. Rick Beato himself

[@Dusty-Shades]

Around 21:45 - 22:10 he saId he'd blend 2 mics into one track. Would that apply on acoustic guitar

[@dinadams]

Great interview, loved the deep dive into recording guitar tones. Feels like the days of mass experimentation for recorded guitar tones is in the past. We now have consistency and ease and good quality yes, epic tones, not so much. Golden age for guitar tone me was the very early 90’s, Eric Johnson, Aching Baby era The Edge, Neil Young Weld (albeit live), just monumental guitar sounds.

[@bluzzjazz]

Ah, the 70s, such a great time for music! Speaking of big cabs, I used to load my B series Ampeg 4x12 cab into the back of my 75 Firebird. It had the hump in the middle between the seats, so you had to lean the driver's seat all the way forward and finagle it into the back. It just fit door to door. I ended up trading it for a JC-120 which was heavy but a breeze to travel with compared to the Ampeg, but boy do I wish I still had it, it was glorious!

[@LeBoun64]

At first, I listened with my laptop's speaker, and thought Rick was severe, then decided to go for a second run with my DT 770 Beyer headphones, and must admit Rick was right ! Love his reflexions about sounds, stereo spacing, history and fashions about sounds and panning, and all that. Interesting episode guys. Love your modesty !

It is so great to live this time as a middle aged man, who loves music and plays an instrument. As a kid you had to have a great imagination and really struggle to pick up how everything was played and who those musical heroes were (they all got superpowers atleast). As years have gone bye, came internet and all the modern media, where you could digest everything when ever you wanted. But the most important thing is that all these amazing music books started to be available, different documents started to appear and you could really go deep in the rabbit hole if you want. Mr. Beato is greatest hero of this modern age to us 60s, 70s, 80s kids. He is a historian, he keeps the essence of music bright and alive. And he is truly charismatic person, awesome storyteller, he has great temper (those rants are awesome!), highly skillfull musician and producer. Thanks for everything (includes Mick and Dan!) and greetings from Finland!
