What I've Learned From The Greatest Musicians

Finally, after 7 years, I decided it was time for a new channel trailer for THIS channel. This is not for a new channel.
The channel trailer should represent what the channel is all about. This is just a small sampling of some of my favorite quotes from 2016-2022. Remember to hit subscribe!! Thanks for watching 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@chrisdolan9515]

I think we can all agree that this is the greatest music channel of all time. There’s a reason Rick is able to interview such important artists. It’s because he is knowledgeable, and genuine. His passion, his love of music is truly contagious.

[@tedparkinson6892]

Exactly! How often do this amazing musicians get to talk to such a knowledgeable fan? Someone who truly "gets them and their art?"

[@TheCocoaDaddy]

Here! Here!

[@gjtube37]

Couldn't have said it better myself!

[@KirkVandenBerghe]

Well said, here here, and amen.

[@jesusislukeskywalker4294]

you got it 👍🏻

[@LightWingStudios]

I'm 70 years old. I have watched REPEATEDLY every single one of Rick' videos over the last 8 years. And everytime I discover something new that either brings a smile to my face or tears to my eyes. The devotion he and his guests bring to all of us truly lights the beacon of music in our world. I am forever grateful to all of you.

[@karenfitchmclean796]

Gotchya!

I really enjoyed reading your comment. 👍

Rick Beato is what MTV should've been back in the 90's instead of reality shows

[@urbanesasquatch]

good point. something that would appeal to gen-x-ers.i have no interest in reality shows.

[@theadventuretravelchannel]

Who would have guessed "music television" would stop doing music.

[@biarago4592]

Rick Beato is what MTV Brasil used to be.

[@ianmarshall9144]

was it reality tv shows in the 90's ? I THINK YOUR SPOUTING BOLLOCKS

[@ronmckee9019]

Although those are some good points many could agree with. It's very simple. Rick Beato is the real McCoy. His Passion and Knowledge & Depth of Understanding are just obvious to anyone who sees it. Whether or not he should've or could've been some other show or some "Big-Corporations" show etc is all irrelevant. He had and has his path & fortunately for us all we just get our view in.

[@andrewgrandahl]

This channel is such a special place. In a world where corporate greed seems to be insatiably devouring the integrity of art of all kinds, your channel reminds us that the best music, and musicians - true artists uninterested in appeasing that machine - will always endure and persevere. You're a true gift to our world, Rick. Thank you.

[@Rab_the_ex_chef]

That use of the word integrity is what holds Rick above so many of his peers; quite simply the authentic way he conveys what music makes him feel enables us to use our ears in the heightened sense.

[@kevinelliott5823]

Don’t kid yourself, greed is what motivates artists too, including Rick, and that’s not a bad thing. Greed is what advances a society, without great reward, no one would push society forward. ✌🏼

[@andrewgrandahl]

[@jaiyuen5440]

Didn't think I'd be crying today, but here I am shedding tears of gratitude for you, Rick. I'm only 20 years old but the past 5 years has been the most incredible journey of musical discovery for me. I know it's only the beginning, but you have been a priceless source of inspiration for me and I'm forever grateful for you and your channel. I hope to one day meet the man behind the screen, but until then please never stop doing what you're doing. Much love xx

[@LuciusDriftwood]

You, Sir, are a legend, a treasure, a brand, an inheritance and a legacy. Live long and prosper 🙏

[@markboyce443]

I've been watching your channel for years, Rick. I just realized something. I've always known how much you love music. Then, I realized that you loved the musicians and their stories, too. Now, I can see the love and respect that so many of the artists and producers now have for you and for your work. I know your journey for all of us has been difficult. So incredibly difficult that most who watch, would have no clue or awareness of what you've been through. Having been a band manager, I know your journey has to have been brutal. I totally respect your commitment and tenacity. Most of all, I appreciate the kind, humble way you have always conducted yourself in the process we've witnessed. We'll done, Rick.

[@hubinho3038]

This channel is so unique. A pure channel for musicians, music lovers, fans. You learn, you're entertained, you learn again and sometimes Rick interviews the greatest artists of all time and I feel like they're sitting in my living room too.

[@jmhorvat]

Rick Ive been mixing producing records for over 30 years! Everytime,i get my alert from you makes me feel like i am living my youth and relearning the love of music not the industry-but the love of music 🎶 thank you for your influence to the new generation.I hope to meet ya in LA one day stay blessed JMH

[@toddg6548]

Rick, you're just a gift that keeps on giving... Thanks for all your time and passion for everything music. We feel it.

[@smoorej]

Although I’ve seen almost all these videos, when you put them together like this it becomes obvious how incredibly important and game changing this channel is. Rick has done something absolutely unique. He’s created a fantastic resource for any type of musician that is simultaneously both entertaining and informative. It’s like having access to both a conservatory education and top tier guest artists at the click of a button. Add in the ear training courses and the Beato Book and the value you get for this is beyond belief. This is not only the best music channel on KZbin it’s the best musicians resource for the money, anywhere. Bravo Rick.

[@lewiswilliams1893]

Rick brings academic rigor, experience, and perspective to what music means to society. But what really sets him apart is his genuine enthusiasm, like he's discovering something new and beautiful every day. Thank you for documenting the power of music in our history, Rick.

[@joepage3065]

What started out as a labour of love has turned into a major documentary of 20th and 21st century music. As a musician and a lover of music it’s just the best. Congratulations on 4m subscribers. Well deserved and thank you.

[@Mike75W]

I honestly can't imagine any musician not watching this channel. Thank you, Rick.

[@ericrogal995]

This is THE music channel to go to. Hands down and is the bar setter for all others. There is nothing like this, there wasn’t anything like this before, truly, and this is the original seed of this kind of standard and layout. It is a one and only. And Rick Beato is the MAN behind this national treasure. Because it unquestionably is.

[@natesvideos7339]

That Keith Jarret will become one of the most artifacts in music history because of lack of interviews he does and the amount of insight he gave in that interview

[@AndrewColyerMusic]

What a beautiful Reel, Rick. You changed my life. I've been with you since 2016 when you started your channel, and had around 13K subscribers. We met in NYC in November 2017, when you presented your first ever live workshop. I cannot thank you enough for all that you have done in the past 8 years. Please continue from now until death! Thank you so much. Seriously, please do not ever retire.

[@danielcrowe318]

"...the essence of all music is suprise. When I listen to a piece of music, if I'm not surprised within the first eight bars, I've stopped listening." What an incredible quote from Sting!

[@espowari]

Actual tears. Thanks RIck for taking music to the next level. Telling these stories is hugely important. Thanks a million.

[@liquidfylth]

That music in the background just makes all the clips so cohesive to the video as a whole. It leaves you feeling nostalgic with a touch of sweet melancholy. Made me a bit emotional thinking about all of those music legends and how much they’ve meant to me in my life. Thank you Rick, for all of the the amazing work!

Your channel is basically the history of music. A hundred years from now they could watch the videos and be able to experience amd understand what it must have been like to live in one of the greatest eras of music 50s thru to the 90s.

what's amazing about this channel is how it started out and what it has become; there is something for everybody, newbies wanting to learn and get inspired, top level people talking about how and why they do what they do and what makes them famous, and then to top it off, all the big starts that are dying to get on and act like kids when they do! Sting was even nervous when he first sat down...its the gift of technology that gives us this, and Rick's generosity and brilliance..thank you, bro!

Almost unfathomable how on earth you've been able to interview so many incredible top luminaries - AND in all cases probably pulled off the best, deepest, warmest and widest interviews ever of each of them - but clearly it's simply because of who and what you are Rick! Just fantastic. If I could have one wish fulfilled - if ever you are able - Peter Gabriel.

[@carlonbass]

As a working musician and educator of music, I have to say Rick's channel is a topic of conversation in both settings probably weekly. This snuck up on me. I hadn't realized how special what you contribute to us all actually was until I saw the Sting and Lukather interviews. Mind blown. You give us a look into these artists minds and hearts from a perspective much like our own, Rick. It's not Letterman or MTV. You're an amazing and thoughtful musician and you bring out such interesting nuggets from your guests because of this. That's what makes your channel so special. It's not so much the musicians as it is you. You are the catalyst for the amazing stories and insights we're lucky enough to hear from the legends. Your band sounds amazing as well, by the way! Luv it!

[@melissaporter885]

Such an intelligent and thoughtful channel, Rick. Thanks for being curious and letting your guests talk.

"Thought is the enemy of flow" A group of us were jamming on a bench back in the early 1970's. A couple of us had congas while some other folks joined in with an empty soda bottle, an empty beer can. We were drawing a little crowd. At one point we had a serious groove going on. My arms were getting a little tired but we were being carried by that flow. For some reason I decided to try a different riff..I quickly realized that it took my outside the flow. This was a valuable life lesson for me. There's a time for thinking and a time to trust and go with the flow..

I don't remember how I found this channel but I am certainly glad I did and have shared it with players I know of all types.. but after watching this 'medley' of interviews I think that anyone including aliens from wherever in our Universe will learn understand and appreciate music form your work and education and experience... it is a wonderful place to come to, to enjoy music and how its played and structured and massaged in performances and production to show one of the 'beauties' of mankind... thanks for all the work... good luck and good health to you and your family

I’m 40. I found this channel today, and I dig it! I understand now why my dad dissed many songs I loved when I was a teen and I thought my dad was just so out of style and boring. Nope, he had heard it all before, and he had heard it better. There are still some surprises and good musicians, but I realize now that life is a cycle. Music is supposed to make us feel, so let us all enjoy what brings emotion to us and stop attacking since it would be boring as hell if everyone loved the same and hated the same songs and artists, wouldn’t it?❤
