Rick Beato is an American producer, songwriter, teacher, guitarist, and YouTuber who was born in 1965 and studied at the oldest private conservatory in the United States (New England Conservatory of Music). Rick has spent part of his career in the academic world, notably as a teacher. He has also written music theory textbooks and started his own record label “10 Star Records” with his friend Johnny Diamond. He has notably produced the album “Broken People” by Muddy Magnolias and the album “All that remains” by Fozzy. In 2011, Rick started to publish his first Youtube videos, he shows the talents of his prodigy son in piano and singing. After the success of these videos, Rick decided to dedicate this channel to music theory, with topics such as scales, intervals, triads, chords, and many other topics. He offers many concepts like “What makes this song great?” or interviews with music legends like Sting and Brian May. His most popular videos are his top 20 videos, such as the top 20 guitar solos, or the top 20 acoustic guitar intros. These videos are very popular with the public because they are fun, informative, and of high quality. Rick also collaborated with guitarists like Eric Johnson or Phil X to reinterpret the solo of Stairway to Heaven.
I use Guitar Pro every day. Many bands I worked with had scores of their solos in Guitar Pro format, and I noticed that more and more people were using this software, but I didn’t know how this software could be useful to me.
When I created my Youtube channel, I needed a software to transcribe my scores. I discovered that Guitar Pro is a great software for guitar, but also for many other instruments.
Insights From Rick Beato's Tommy Emmanuel Interview
Since my Youtube channel is not limited to guitar, Guitar Pro offers me everything I need, and that’s why I use it every day.Besides all these great songs, the thing that impressed me the most was this guy’s ability to play all these songs off the top off his head. I don’t know much about playing the guitar (I tried to teach myself a few years ago, and failed miserably), but this seems like quite the feat.
Rick Beato is a musician, teacher, and father of three. Rick has worked as a writer/producer with various bands in the rock and country genres. Two albums that he produced for NeedtoBreathe – “The Outsiders” (2009) and “The Reckoning” (2012) – won Dove Awards in the Best Rock/Contemporary category. He co-wrote “Carolina” with Parmalee in 2013, which climbed to number 1 on the Billboard’s Country Music Chart. He is certified to teach grades K-12 and holds a bachelor’s in music from Ithaca College and a master’s in jazz studies from the New England Conservatory of Music.
In other words, he’s got some credibility. Rik has close to 1 million subscribers to his YouTube channel, and this video has over 2 million views.
Rick Beato's Top 20 Rock Guitar Intros List
First, I’m not really sure what he is trying to get at when he talks about having a hook/signature and why Landslide would not be considered a melodic hook. Anyway…
I guess of the songs Rick has chosen, I probably would put Here Comes the Sun as my top choice, with Roundabout, and Over the Hills and Far Away rounding out the top three.
As to songs I might have included on the list that aren’t on Rick’s list (many of these were triggered by reading through many of the 11, 000 comments that the video has generated):
Friday Top: 15 Songs With Most Interesting Chord Progressions
I’m amazed how many of these songs seem to be from the 70s, which is the musical era I most closely associate with. Not sure if that was the heyday of great music in general, or just for acoustic guitars in particular.
Anyway, it was a fun video to watch, and as one person commented, “Anybody else out there that could have sat through Rick’s, “TOP 1, 000 ACOUSTIC GUITAR INTROS OF ALL TIME” Ha! What a treat this was!!”
