This is like a "What Makes Most Great Songs Great" video.

Best lesson ever: Took one of my crap melodies and improved it big time!

Flashback 1984 ... my Berklee songwriting teacher having me transcribe the #1 songs on the charts...and answer 20 questions about each song. You just summed up in 30 minutes, 80% of what I learned over 3 months of that process. Rick, I hope people realize and appreciate what a freakin' gold mine of knowledge you're sharing.

There needs to be a āBeato Book For Dummiesā lol.

Hey Rick - 64 year old who used to play in a serious garage band. I stopped playing 30 years ago but picked up an acoustic a few months ago. I just want to play pretty things, and I don't want a lot of influences anymore. Your videos about chords and scales have been a huge help to me. Thank you and God bless you!

When writing a melody, sing it instead of figuring it out on an instrument. That way, unless you have perfect pitch (or great relative pitch like Rick), you will focus on what sounds good. My hunch is most of the songs we love were written by the composer working out the melody with his/her voice while accompanying themselves on guitar or piano.

I was do blessed that my son gave me THE BEATO BOOK for my b-day. I spent 3 years in a top college program and know a good amount of theory and application. I have had great teachers in my 40 years playing. What you are giving to us all is more valuable than I think people understand. You are a true blessing my friend. I hope to meet you one day. Peace and many more blessings my friend š

You know Rick, Iāve been watching your videos for a couple of years now. I mainly watch them because of your enthousiasm for music in general, and rock and roll in particular. But honestly, every time you spoke about music theory it was like you were speaking alien man! Another tongue completely. This year, global pandemic obliging, I tried to pick up home accessible hobbies. So, at 50, for the first time of my life I picked up a guitar and seriously started learning how to play it. With it, I started to learn how to put those melodies I hear in my head in the morning on paper. Today, I think Iām finally starting to understand your language. Not entirely, not in depth, but along the outskirts. All of this is to say, very inarticulate, thank you and Iām glad I stuck listening to your videos. Keep up the good work!

After watching this I went through a few of my tunes and spotted some places where I was using the root in the melody.
Funny cause I always felt a little less than excited about those spots in the songs but didnāt know exactly why.
Youāre a treasure, Rick. Thank you.

Great tips, Rick! I'd use these maybe to review a melody that doesn't sound good enough when writing a song, but maybe not from the start, because inspiration sometimes just strikes you and the feeling is right, even though is not perfect theory-wise. A really important part of songwriting to me is to develop a taste, an ear to recognize what you like, what works for the music you make. Internalizing these principles and applying them by ear, by using your musical taste, to me just sounds like a much better way to use them than starting with a blank page and trying to write "perfectly", just by theory. Feeling is the most important part of music, in my opinion.

I can't understand how or why 83 people give this a thumbs down Rick!! It's FREE, it's educational, informative, well presented, and extremely helpful. Keep on doing what you do, and I wish you and your family a healthy, happy, prosperous new year in 2021 from Ireland.

That static versus moving comment for melody, blew my mind. Thanks Rick!

Hi @RickBeato - Good to hear you mention Paul Simon!
NYC muso, Steve Conte here...among other things I was Paul Simonās āstunt-singerā during tour rehearsals for 10 years and lemme tell ya - that man can write some CRAZY melodies!
And not only that - the RHYTHMS! Because heās channeling African, Brazilian, Cuban, PR & South American music...they fall in weird parts of the beat sometimes. Heād be a stickler too if came off a note too soon or once I did the ā laughā that he does on one song, but in my own rhythm - NO! š
It was a amazing experience being in the room - singing or listening - for 8 hours a day with Paul, Steve Gadd or Keltner, his African players and all the other top shelf cats. Like schoolinā!
Anyway I dig your posts man - Iām a guitarist, singer & songwriter, myself...

As someone with literally zero music theory and a relatively new found inspiration for song writing, technically, I don't even know my ninth's from my elbow, that was inspiring. When you played Nirvana and sang the melody, suddenly it made sense. Many thanks.

Thank you for your generosity, after years of me asking people who give me bs for answers

AAHHH! MY HEAD HURTS! Memories of music theory in college & having to create music scores using ācounter-pointā. š.

This has helped me a lot with writing my baselines. At first I was confused about not using 6ths over major chords. But than I realized Beato is talking about the 6th of the chords not the key. The 6th of key sounds great over the 4 chord it is the third of the 4 chord in Ionian.

This changes fundamentally what I knew about music so far. It makes a lot of sense. Hardest part would be to find singer that can sing extensions in a chord progressions as most people go for 5th or the Root of the chord. The way I see this is, record melody/singer with basic chord progression, than go back and rearrange chord notes and bass guitar.

Rick, write a simple song that is missing most of your rules. Show us how you analyze, then apply some of your rules, slowly, step by step, showing how they make it better. Could be a whole training course!
