Creative Guitar Practice Ideas!

Don’t forget to subscribe to the channel. I forgot to mention it at the beginning. I’m almost at 3 million. Let’s make it happen!

Please make this into a song!

That college warm up sounded like a nod to the Second Viennese School. Lol

Great lesson and work out , thank you Rick ❤

Mr.beato
You are a very good musician
You should make your own albums
❤

What happened with the Komplete Kontroll S88?

Brilliant and melodic.

Oh my god those open string chords rock!

Thank you for spicing up my practice Rick!

not that it is the main point of this video, but what is the parent scale for these modes and chords? F major has b flat Maj and CMaj chords but I dont understand why the C Maj chord interval notation is b VII. why the flat?

This is in my file of warmups and exercises now, ever since I saw your short on this. (Kinda wish I'd seen this full vid first LOL.).

When is the blue signature Gibson finally hitting stores mano?

I just put you over 3 mil 🥳

The link to purchase your “Quick Lessons Pro” course doesn’t work😂😂

The link just takes you to “The Beato Book” which I already own.

I appreciate your instructional videos, Rick.
But, in most of them, there's a point at which, after going along comfortably at cruising speed, you suddenly switch to Mach 1, leaving dodos like me WAY behind.
Dodos like me who, all of a sudden, no longer see the connection between before and after a certain point in the video.
Like where you say: "I'm going to use Aeolian, Mixolydian, Lydian sounds." Where? On what specific chords? How does that lay work out in detail?
And from that point forward, I switch off. I need baby steps, and they are not there. The devil is in the details, and, once the details go, nothing makes sense.
Maybe your videos are intended for higher-level players than myself. That could be it.

it would be great if these shorts would be added to the interactive beato book. Its mostly gold

WORLD CLASS
Your lessons are ALWAYS a win

HEY RICK BEATO,YOU'VE DONE WONDERS CHAMPIONING SO MANY REALLY DESERVING UNSUNG ARTISTS AND IT IS WITH THIS VERY THING IN MIND THAT I WOULD LIKE YOU TO CONSIDER DOING A FEATURE ON A MUSICIAN AND COMPOSER NAMED LAINEY SCHOOLTREE OF THE BAND SCHOOLTREE. DO YOU KNOW ANY FEMALE PRODUCER/ENGINEER/COMPOSER/PLAYERS WHO HAVE MADE A STAGGERINGLY GOOD PROG ROCK OPERA DOUBLE ALBUM? GO LISTEN TO 'HETEROTOPIA' ALL THE WAY THROUGH AND TELL ME SHE CANT HANG WITH ANYBODY. AS A GUEST SHE'LL BE ONE OF THE SMARTEST,FUNNIEST AND MOST JAW DROPPINGLY CAPABLE PEOPLE YOU'VE EVER HAD ON. KNOW MANY FEMALE PROG ARTISTS DO YA?NOT LIKE HER YOU DONT. GIVE THE WOMEN A SHAKE,THEY NEED HELP TOO.

This is very Satch sounding.

That 'arpeggio thing ',that you're playing ,would sound brilliant if played really slowly....
...maybe with a bit of Hammond in behind it...

love this share and technique! Rick bad ass giver to us all.

"Practice something that sounds like music" awesome advice. Thank you sharing your wisdom Rick!!

Very nice done

Such cool ideas! Thank you Rick! I play harmonica and getting tips from other musicians on practice ideas always enhances my own practice ideas and options!

RICK you make learning ROCK! Thx. Eh’

Excelente

I play every morning- about 1 hour of organized right and left hand techniques- all from books, videos and such- then I pick a drone play along track in a key and improvise- hopefully discover big things like at the end of this video- the two note scale- this leads to playing the songs new and old from my band

Why is Rick calling Bb major flat 6 and C major flat 7 when they are just chords 6 and 7 in D minor, of course I must be missing something, big fan!

Best instruction video ever !! Congrat's on 3Million!!

Great little vid, Rick. I would love to have you as a teacher. I might finally make some progress.

Tasty

How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Pratice,pratice pratice!

I have the same guitar and I paid $399 for it.

Amazing, master!!!!

Wow! The whole ascending / descending optical illusion thing….cool

This video made me buy your Beato Interactive Book. The way you practice this scale is how musical I’d like to make mine and hoping your book will help. Thank you for your lesson!

I totally see why practicing musical lines seems like the most sensible thing to do BUT there is also a great benefit in doing some of these "awful"-sounding scales.

For example, let's think about doing 1 note per string alternate picking arpeggios like shown in the beginning:
Executing this kind of technique is a highly complex combination of micro-movements (in fact it's one of the hardest things to master on guitar). One proven method to learn such a technique is to isolate and focus certain components instead of doing the entire thing at once.
It's like a "don't run before you walk"-mentality: before we start to think about our fretting hand it makes a lot of sense to completely focus on the movement in our right hand since this is the main obstacle in achieving control with this technique. That's why it can be smart to take away as much difficulty from our fretting hand as possible to have more brain-power and focus on our picking hand hence achieving muscle memory on the most difficult part of the technique much quicker.

The same method works in warming up: if I sit down and try to play these arpeggios without warming up I quickly hit a brick-wall where it feels like I don't have full control and working from there is a really tedious thing to do BUT if I just take a quick second and do a simpler version with more focus on the difficult part of the movement I'm getting warmed up A LOT faster!
That's why playing some of these ugly sounding scales and chords is always one of the first steps in getting warmed up for me before a gig - those are the most basic versions of more difficult techniques that I want to control.
One important thing to mention is: it is very true that it doesn't make sense to dwell on these exercises too much as they are simply a vehicle to achieve what you actually wanna play.

That GUITAR

I hear a cool song there, like Inception or Interstellar soundtrack stuff

When I play the piano I warmup with simpler songs, and not with boring scales. It just doesn't make sense to me

確かにこれはおもしろい👍🏻

Wow that sounded amazing. Does anyone have the tab available?

great! great musical ideas! very inspirational! thank you so much!

Rick I don't know if I'd like you cuz I don't know you but I love the F outta your videos

I think the L 5 sounded the best but was really surprised how similar the ES335 and the Rosewood Tele sounded.

What is the effect that is following you as play.?
