wtf I was just thinking this would be a good one to do but you've already done it ! great love these

You are right👍❤

Most rock musicians try to start playing Jazz, but Sting did the opposite.

15K views so far. I hope to hear at least 15000 good songs written this year!

Women are also men.

This does not trend on CNN

Larry Rules!!!! Thanks to both of you!

How come the sound of melodies you recorded sounds better than in the official videos on yt?

Thanks for the inspiration. Gonna revisit the circle of 5ths to make some connections now

I like these segments. Analyzing what's popular at the time. A lot of variety in styles if not always chords. Maybe the Beeb is getting tired of playing predictable dance hits. He may be maturing.

Hope you can make a lot blink182 song, sir

I always wondered if Palmisano knew Beato and Shull, and then I stumbled onto this video. Great stuff!

What song is George Harrsion (1943-2001) playing before perfoming the Beatles with John Lennon (1940-1980), Paul McCartney (1960-), Ringo Starr (1940-) 12:54

Come on Rick no In the Court of the Crimson King is insulting

I LOVE Gish but why do I love Pieces Iscariot more?

Cat power does a good cover of Dylan's stuck in Mobile with the Memphis blues. Also Maryanne Faithful covering Visions of Johanna. Nina Perrson covering Cohen's famous blue raincoat I thought was decent.

So what will you be using now?

March of the pigs. NIN!!!

Them bones

Before I clicked on this I SOL (That's Shouted Out Loud :-) "It depends on who's listening".

fascinating to listen to this breakdown of the first song i ever sat down to enjoy with headphones. those were heavy moments. late 70s gold!

Genesis - Dancing with the Moonlit Knight Marillion - Script for a Jester's Tear

Gimme fuel, gimme fire, gimme that which I desire

Can a 19-year-old baby develop perfect pitch? 😔😞🙁

Good God you're so right about trap beats.... I'll seriously punch a wall the next trap.... Wait... Ouch!!!

Rickey Medlocke - Highway Song

I wish you had an account on Rumble. You are the only reason I still have a youtube account.

Love your videos

One Zepp song and they don't choose 'Achilles Last Stand'? 😔

Rest in peace Chester. We miss you so fuckin much

Lol, even the shitty ones are beginning to steal from each other. 🤭 😁 😂 🤣🤣🤣

Thanks you Rick! Went you explain it looks so simple... :)

I think Theatre by Gatsby’s American Dream could take #20 at least. A banger to start the day to.

Pop country is absolutely awful. The stuff you see on Gems On VHS crushes anything from the big studios in Nashville.

This had as much impact as Rush 2112 did on me. I can remember exactly what I was doing when I first heard both bands. Both Game changers for me. I hear a rolling stones style chord influence on this as well from Angie.

Just a slight nitpick, for your viewers/listeners....when you isolated the chorus you credited Cedric only. But the "get away, get away" part was Jim Ward.

James Gurley -- Summertime , Big Brother & the Holding co.

Good god this song is disgusting. The apex of rock music.

GT

That ending though, powerfull

Really cool and interesting!!!!

Floods

i truly love Gilmore and Malmsteen equally... sometimes when i sit down and really think about it, i think to some degree that Gilmore has relied to heavily on his tone in the sense that he can be a little to calculated at times instead of venturing out and experimenting just a little more, especially in the moment and with his tone. regardless, they are both 2 of the greatest to ever pick up the axe.

Bad ass singing I Iike the Beato mix

Tech totalitarism is ruining our lives. It is the Crime of the Century. And we ask ourselves who are these men..

How do you give someone a 5% chance to live? What does that even mean 😂

8:26 anybody else notice that pounding sound?

Also Rush's Roll the Bones was released in September of 91 as well.

Isn't Db the tritone sub in the key of C? F# is the tritone to C... but Db7 substitutes G7 in the 251. Great lesson.

I always thought the cheap monitors were to provide the mixers with output of what the average listener would have at home. The average person will probably only have a cheap set if speakers. So if you design the sound experience for an audiophile with a set of $20k floor standing speaker towers. I reckon the end mix wouldn't sound right when played through cheap speakers.

Playing this part 9:27 slowly and then a little faster captures the melancholy essence of the song.

Angie! Where is Angie?!?!? It’s your favorite song.

i like before i see

Loved it.. please include pink Floyd , Bob Dylan,Def leppard in this series

What the hell happened to American Music?! 😑

plant even do screams in this song

I too was 29 in '91 and it's getting harder and harder to find people who truly appreciated this music at the time. AIC dropped Facelift the year before, and that's when it all started for me. They were going to open for RHCP here in Vancouver, but couldn't get across the border for whatever reason. So, thanks Rick, it's nice to share with someone who has both the same taste and reverence in music, as well as a full head of silver locks.

It’s weird because for some reason I have some kind of shame expressing this but if I’m being entirely honest John Mayer is better

I can only imagine her vocals over a few tracks where you have it striped down almost bluegrass purity kind of recording. She's the kind of artist you could do an album of multiple styles which is a win win win. Anyway.

You left out al DiMeola and Randy Roads there is a laundry list of better solos

Loved this story

Cool mon. That was a very interesting voyage. I hope that the band has a better experience this time around. I bet they do... One thing about things that are pure of the heart is that you can't keep them down. I really like the band too. She has an amazing voice. She is in the pocket in every aspect. It will be cool to see what they do. And i hope that you can get in on the creation. It's due to be a great. So the best Rick.

Playing solos is quite a challange for me...to see you guys come up with solo like that is just out of this world for me. But i learn every day and now with the corona lockdown i use it to enoy my neighbours. But getting better every day.

Thank you, this was the missing piece of the puzzle for me, immediately no longer stuck in a rut

It‘s so hilarious when you watch Rick‘s advanced stuff and then an ad pops up which wants to sell basic concepts...

MC5 - Kick out the jams

Anytime I can take some time to watch you it makes me want to pickup my guitar and either learn something new or just play some music. You analysis of the music is really exciting and fun to watch for "What Makes This Song Great?" videos. They are my favorite youtube content! You have any interest for doing Barracuda by Heart in "What make that song great"? There was an article in the Wall Street Journal "The Rage Behind Heart's 'Barracuda'" detailing impressions of the song by band members. Aside from that the song just kicks ass and I'd love to see your analysis of the musical components of that song. You ROCK for posting this! Thank you! :)

this one was great. this an epic song, and somehow captures so much of what was great about the 1980s in one recording.

Ling Ling?

Greg Lake - Father Christmas? Maybe next year..

Phil Lynott-Thin Lizzy

Joe is probably a more technical guitarist but you're darn right im listening to john over him any day. The real question is why are we comparing musicians? Its really not a competition

He's a witch.

Thank you Rick this was truly inspiring.

Regarding Paul McCartney, I personally believe his best vocal performances are on "Helter skelter" and "Hey Jude". P.S. "I've got a feeling" also

Love this stuff Rick. It’s brings out great new possibilities for so much great intriguing melodies for interludes within a tune. 👍🏼👊🏼

"Some wierd connecter" Thats a USB C one of if not the most widely used and best connect atm

I think it’s called “pivoting” and yes it doesn’t have to be an octave. Good lesson, Rick

Thank you Tim and Rick.

Thank you Rick...have loved this song since childhood.Definitely in my Top 50!
