Why do some people rag on Rick Beato?
he's like a caricature of an out of touch grumpy boomeralways going off about "kids these days"yeah, we get it, the top100 is absolute shit, now say something of substance you fucking dipshitalso, for a guy so knowledgeable about music, he's never made anything anybody gives a shit about
>>129286583>also, for a guy so knowledgeable about music, he's never made anything anybody gives a shit aboutyou could say the same for literally any music critic or commentator in history
>>129286583You have never watched his videos?He's using clickbait thumbnails because algorithms demand it, but the content is always pretty neutral.
>>129286583>also, for a guy so knowledgeable about music, he's never made anything anybody gives a shit aboutHe's literally a music teacher. The entire shtick is very appropriate, good for him.
I already know the old music he talks about and the new music he talks about is mainstream shit Im not interested in
>>129286731I like his top ten riffs. But, it would be cool to see him go on about unknown new stuff he likes
Hi Rick, who is your favourite guitar player?
>>129286532Jealous Fantano Fans
>>129286583This is his latest video, an educational video about modes and how to use them. https://youtu.be/Mc3ff9ffQ_I?si=Dh4q43mCOBdc6Fk0The fact this guy makes talentless losers on /mu/ seethe so much is delicious.
>>129286982True. Theory is beautiful man. I always appreciate theory CHADS
>>129286982Lydian is fucking beeeeaaaautiful.
>>129287257>>129286982knowing music theory isn’t remarkable in any way though. its just stuff you can learn or be taught if you want. its no different to, say, speaking some French or understanding the Periodic Table. having the talent to apply it in the playing of an instrument is more admirable because that takes more time and effort and some degree of innate ability but no one's saying he can't play the guitar. in regard to his musical talent the criticisms are usually that he's never written or played on any releases that are worth a damn, which is probably accurate.but in any case, all the above is tangential at best to his value as a music critic, analyst or commentator. it would be valid to argue that music talent is an advantage in that endeavour but even more convincing would be pointing to something he's said that shows original or insightful thought, statements or positions on music, none of which I have ever heard from him. his makes very safe, unchallenging content for people who like to listen to things they already know and agree with and have them confirmed from a place of apparent authority. with millions of subs I’m sure he does well from it financially but in terms of adding to the wider cultural understanding of music its pretty much worthless.
>>129287399You are fucking retardeddidnt read
>>129287406>didnt readaha so you cant know if Im retarded or notbut we both know you did read it, realised it was true, didnt have any answer so resorted to an insultlmao never mind maybe Rick will see your post and let u suck his dick

>>129287496His music IQ is high af
I just want to know if his courses are worth it
rick beato has a horse cock
>>129290423I was going to say this!
>>129286532It's not him, it's just that there's a subset of musicians and the musically inclined that have a reflexive aversion to music theory, or anything which may explain away the magic of music. I suppose I understand: you can create great music without a working knowledge of theory, and to do so must feel like alchemy, and so to have someone explain as if it were a chemistry experiment feels sacrosanct. I'm sure these same people wouldn't feel as opposed to say, using a recipe when cooking, though I suspect they may feel more romantically interested in the idea of improvisation. Ultimately, it is authority which they (seek to) reject. It feels a little low IQ to me but if it makes better music I guess I can live with that.
>>129290580Music was figured out since Mozart. Literally there is no sound you can show him on the piano that he cannot do by ear and better than you probably.There is only benefits to learning theory and learning the modes, scales and keys. Mapping everything you are doing in musical language either by letters or notes will always be the high IQ way to approach music. I didn't made the sounds of the universe but they can be mapped, once mapped you can get a physical sense of what fits what usually or even how to subvert expectations tastefully.
>>129290642I agree anon all's I'm sayin' is if a musician can create ignorant of that knowledge more power to them. They can let some egghead producer work out the kinks, as long as the music is good I could hardly care. It is not lost on me, however, that I can only say this as I am very well versed on the subject.
>>129286532Because he is right
