Love all these reharmonizations; I often just listen with these live sessions and study the specific chordal subs, scales & voice leadings later. This is really good for our ears. Rick clearly loves teaching and discovering new sounds. His joy, dedication and tremendous knowledge is deep & contagious. Learn from him.

[@royverges]

I think it would best to choose a specific chord progression, apply it to a specific song arrangement, and then deeply ingrain that into your playing. Otherwise you may get lost in the "combinatorial explosion, where you have way too much to practice.

[@markrossi5703]

This video demonstrates MUCH more than reharmonizations. Rick is showing us how to apply the voice leading principles that connect harmonic structures, through relating chordal/scale tone connections to the scale tones, which include the tones of the chord voicings.

[@RickBeato]

Thank you Mark!

[@crazyb3fan]

Rick - This is an amazing analysis of options with the ii-V-I. And you are an incredibly talented guitar player. How you have all this stuff right at your fingertips is mind boggling. Can we see you just blow over a jazz standard of your choosing one of these days. Would love to see that!

[@wallacellewellyn4721]

I love the idea of harmonizing the altered notes of the V chord. D7flat9 E flat minor, major. I have so much to practice already, thanks for piling on!

[@StrizzyBlizzy]

your channel changed my life, rick! thank you, thank you for all your content. you are so inspirational.

[@vKarl71]

You have a great ear. Thanks for your excellent lessons. I look forward to the day when I know enough to really take advantage of all you're teaching. I like the way you think. For those of us who are less advanced and don't know all the chords it would be helpful if your cinematographer would use a tighter framing so we could see your fingers better. BTW when you knock on that guitar it sounds to me like it's wood inside. Thanks again, Rick !

[@stringli69]

Please do a lecture on Lydian Chromatic Concept!!! Also feature Don Mock on sounding off!!!!!

[@6ftbarrel]

Nxt video take a simple Beatles song and re harmonise...love to hear that

[@dwightdwindley3141]

There was a good bbc4 documentary about the sergeant pepper album on last night worth a watch. They were geniuses

[@aymericmarchand3472]

Your content is almost overwhelmingly good and inspiring, Having subscribed recently I can't thank you enough for such golden content!

[@franklarouche8612]

Cm/D, nice. had never thought of it that way. thanks.

[@kickbiker7920]

These Mega-Modern Reharmonizations is like musical painting is like painting subtle shades that when listened/ looked at sound glorious...

[@saadalhumaid8043]

Great lesson for my level. Thanks heaps Rick you very awesome 😘

[@sagarkapoor9892]

Really amazing sounds there....please, do a video on learning the fretboard. You seem to know it like your own backyard... There are plenty videos out there about it but it would be great if you did one.

[@kickbiker7920]

This stuff is riveting and well explained. It bears a lot of re-watching! Brilliant post Rick. Hi from London England!

[@emikillua]

I always take notes with your videos Rick, thank you for spread your knowledge!

[@jjjj7749]

Hey Rick, what about same video but with minor II V I?

[@JanomaMusic]

Hi Rick! If you already know about the lick, check out 'wilhelm scream' from Hollywood movies :)

[@arrowfitzgibbon7775]

super-mega-modern but also timeless. these voicings will sound "hip" in 200 years, if humanity's still around.

[@lasse1106]

This is extremely helpful, thanks Rick!

[@mihneasechely]

hey Rick. How about a video on writing and arranging for horns (soul/funk-based ideas)? Thanks for the great lessons!

[@MaemiNoYume]

your lectures are amazing!! Great Job

[@davidsummerville351]

Great session.Thanks

[@YoussefRbahi]

Hey Rick, can you further expand on the reasoning behind thinking in modes and not just in one major scale?

[@charlesschultz2025]

That sus2 b9 made my day! Thank you so much!

[@6ftbarrel]

Great!! Loved that on All the things

[@huntervowell2778]

Easiest way to sound complex: F Lydian augmented -F# Lydian augmented-G Lydian augmented over A D and G bass 🤔 (Lydian augmented is my favorite scale)

[@freefall2073]

So ... that would be A mixolydian b6, D altered and G lydian augmented, right? If it's just a base note being held against it then sure, that would sound cool. You would need to change the 2 chord into something other than a min7 chord though, because of the major 3rd of the scale clashing with the minor 3rd of the 2 chord.

[@huntervowell2778]

Freefall 207 yeah you could do that, but the scale also sounds fine over a min7 too because mixolydian b6 has all the same notes as aeolian except the major third and that c# leads into D alt. You can just avoid playing the major third until you are about to change to D alt, because as soon as you play the c# it goes from sounding like a min 7 to sounding like a dominant sharp 9, but that sounds fine too, but then is it really mixolydian b6 or aeolian with a chromatic passing note to D alt, whatever way of looking at something that works. But you are right if you are basing the chords on the scales and from what I said previously it wouldn't really be a min 7, but it still leads to the 5 chord, which is the function of the 2 chord. When I play it as chords I usually play a major 7 b5 over the bass notes so the 2 chord is actually an Asus 2 add b13 chord or a f Lydian first inversion chord without a 5th.

[@freefall2073]

I agree. Personally, I think I would call it aeolian with a chromatic passing note. You couldn't really hold a C# over a min7 chord as a melody note because of that b9 interval you would create. I agree that a last second chromatic passing note is totally a good idea. However, what is it you are mentioning at the end of your comment (about maj7b5 over the bass notes)? Do you mean you would voice the chords as F maj7b5/A then F# maj7b5/D then G maj7b5, so as to match your scale choices? I tried playing on my guitar and it sounds pretty cool, but I just want to clarify if that's what you're talking about.

[@huntervowell2778]

Freefall 207 yep that's what I meant. 🎶😀

[@freefall2073]

Sweet, thanks for sharing your idea. :)

[@apaivab]

LOVED THIS. However, I must say: good luck with your bass player playing D when you play the Bb9sus4 reharmonization with the root in the 6th string…you may have to run afterwards. Those guys don't want us to mess on "their territory" and even less without asking for permission for reharm haha. God bless my brother Rodner Padilla, we will always fight about this! xD

[@boptillyouflop]

The series jumping 5ths in the "All the Things you Are" reminds me of that song from Steven Universe... "What's the Use of Feeling (Blue)?"

[@JimmerSD]

Dude you make my brain hurt in a good way.

[@patbreacadh]

Awsesome tutorial! Thank you!

[@nickkellie]

Great lesson!

[@jeremylum8766]

Hi Rick, Nice work there, just a thought .when you those chord melody, could you kindly name those top notes resolving to one another like Ami9 chord with top note E down to Eb top note of D7b9 and finally D for Gmaj9 or whatever. Anyway, Thank you.

[@JimmerSD]

Thanks Rick

[@renemarzouk5106]

Hi Rick, many thanks for this beautiful video. On 25:00 and before, you speaki about A aeolin which is in a major mode , Yet, your index makes a bar on the 5th fret, with a C note on the 3rd string, which is the minor 3rd of tha A chord. I'd like to understand . Thank you in advance.

[@sonorstudio1]

The 8 hours time difference make me mis the live show ...., grrrr damm ! But I'm in ..., always ..., hey I love that Ab chord over Dbass, I've played it only on the last kwarter noot to solve to Gmaj7add9 ..., ehh not always hihi played it on the 1 makes me do other things ...., oehh guess I'm into Jazz : - )

[@ranielyfire]

This was gold!

[@Ung97]

Jesus man, these videos are incredible revilatisation while on summer break from music school.

[@JimmerSD]

49:26 Nice. I will learn this..

[@MrAndorox]

Rick, greetings from Mexico. I'm a Berklee first semester student, currently in vacation. In your opinion, what would you choose to major, you as a composer, would you choose a career likewise engineering or arranging? (In Berklee). Thanks. Love your videos man!

[@jumill]

ah ah! that is a good one. That was a light comment on my part, it all sounds great. Any reason you did not emphasize tritone substitutions, chromatic descending bass line, as alternative to these rich harmonic 2 5 1 alterations? Thanks.

[@RickBeato]

+J. Ulrick Millien I didn't talk about TT subs because Ab/D is really a TT sub. I just didn't call it that

[@TheOfficialTLM]

Rick you are my hero

[@ParsevalMusic]

ma che figata di lezione! (What a cool lesson) :P

[@tonyedwards4067]

Thx Rick...

[@banimontoya2132]

Thanks!.

[@Chilajuana]

What melodic cell down the neck are you playing at 6:42? Are they diminished triads?

[@allantaylor420]

love these

[@jumill]

Hi Rick, I found your guitar sounds like a banjo, Can you play with an L5 arch top or a Les Paul hollow body to give the these tones a more jazzy feeling. I am almost certain you have one in your studio :) Cheers.

[@RickBeato]

+J. Ulrick Millien I actually don't own one. If you would like to buy me one, I won't stop you :) part of the reason is that the microphone which is 4 feet from me is picking up the guitar acoustically and there's no way to change that since I'm recording my voice at the same time. This is all being done through my phone because that's the only way to do a KZbin live stream. Sorry J! If I was playing an arch top it would probably sound like a banjo through the phone too! Any more complaints? Just busting your chops haha! Thanks!

[@marinooliveira4204]

Nice title

[@ivanmarques4790]

Awesome do you have any sheet music with those examples?

[@RickBeato]

Not yet. I improvised it all.

[@ivanmarques4790]

Rick Beato oh I see! You made some great voicings, but thanks anyway! Lovely sound!

[@jesseshepard2324]

can you make a video about reharmonizing minor progressions? i wrote a song in F# minor, progression is 16 3 7. i've been trying to figure out how to reharmonize it for the longest time

[@l0wbtry]

check out "walk that bass" youtube channel and "jazztutorial" youtube channel

[@l0wbtry]

they have good entry level reharm videos, thats where I started

[@bubzulu]

where can I get one of those pen picks ?.

[@guitargari2639]

Great great! video ;)

[@CengizArslanpay]

modern is the new beautiful :))

[@daveselectronicguitarchann9981]

I wish i knew what you where talking about,i don't even know why i bother watching lol.

[@hubertvancalenbergh9022]

Rick: the guitar sounds fine, but your voice is a little muffled.
