Rick Beato's YouTube channel is a must-subscribe

 Was that really a dis track? He really just pointed out that in no way are his courses for beginners. And fuck Rick if that's the case. Learning is hard enough without getting suckered into spending money that in no way ends up helping you.

I mean, if you enjoy influencer B attacking the more popular influencer A as infotainment for 34 minutes of your day, by all means, consume away.  I just see it as both these dudes are trying to build a brand and following that they can profiteer from — whether they are paid directly by their audience or by advertisers looking to reach their audience.

I say fuck em both.  If $100 is so vast an amount of money that you have to legitimately forego groceries for the week after giving it to Rick Beato as influencer B uses to position his criticisms, holy shit, you shouldn’t be spending any time or money on either of these dudes.  You should be spending it with Dave Ramsey to teach you how not to be a dumbass with money.

And if you do have $100 to spend on improving your ability with a guitar, go pay for 2-4 private lessons with a local musician better than you.  You’ll learn more, develop a connection if not a friend and help a local musician make a buck from their musical knowledge.

I'm saying he's right about not advertising it for beginners if it ain't for beginners. 

And, it was good to see exactly what you'd get. Rick sure doesn't break it down for you before you purchase. 

Sorry, Mrs. Beato.

I've only watched that one video. I'm sure you're sucking Rick's epeen much more.

I have yet to finish let alone pay for a Rick Beato video.  And I didn't need another influencer to keep me from it!  Also, you really watched all 34 minutes of that?

My main problem with Beato is that he really struggles to say "no, I don't know him" or "no, I'm not familiar with that record".  Sometimes he gets caught in his lies and I laugh.

I mean, his background isn't all THAT impressive.  Shinedown?  I respect his degrees in music, but a platinum record with a spare post-grunge band is kinda common.  I don't have those kinds of sales, not even close, but tons of people have those one-off success stories.

The one thing in that video (I only skimmed) that resonates with me is opinion that it feels a little shady when Youtube influencers use their platform to promote a secondary product of theirs- especially an informational product as opposed to a physical one.  You already have a monetized platform (though admittedly deeply flawed). Just give the information on your channel, or create a secondary one. Otherwise, your channel kinda becomes an infomercial.

i enjoyed the gilmour interview just because i've never heard him go into that much detail regarding the recording process, effects, etc. i think gilmour appreciated that the interview didn't focus on band drama. i do find beato to be fairly annoying. could be the way it's edited, but he frequently completely ignores obvious follow up questions and moves on to some unrelated topic.

This is Beato's strong suit.  Whatever shortcomings he has, he has enough knowledge, experience and enthusiasm to be a pretty good proxy interviewer for his following of musicians.  Like, what guitarist wouldn't want to seriously geek out with Gilmour about how all those great sounds came about and were captured?  Beato gives musicians the vicarious ability to talk shop with and pick the brain of the greats they never would have access to.  I can appreciate that, even if I still have never made it through one of his videos, lol.

So, some gen z wannabe ordered Rick's courses for a good price, but could hardly understand any of it. So he ordered two more, and he still doesn't understand any of it, but he can't buy groceries.

Poor little guy.

Here's a little tip from ol' Uncle DougO. Just watch his videos about lessons for free on youtube, as well as his videos on ear training and other stuff, totally free. If you can't get anything from those, then an investment in courses seems unwise.
