Rick Beato Goes Full Butthurt

I know that it's hard for you to say the things that we both know are true. But tell me how come, you like your life in a free-form style. You'll take an inch but you'd love a mile. There never seems to be quite enough, floating around to fill your lovin' cup. So let's leave it alone 'cause we can't see eye to eye. There ain't no good guy. There ain't no bad guy. There's only you and me and we just disagree.

Be the first to name these three songs and win a Yacht.

Never liked 8-Tracks!!! Hated having songs stop in the middle to change channels. I was always a record and cassette dude.

Agreed. 8-track was awful tech. I too was weened on vinyl, the needle and then became a tapehead with cassette.

I thought DAT held some promise but it died quick. I actually used MiniDisc for live recording for awhile because recordable CD was not yet a viable, cost effective option. I was pretty happy with the results for live band stuff which was a big step up from cassette, minus all the wow, flutter, drop outs and flaws of tape, yet it was missing the warm tape coloration.

I eventually switched out MiniDisc for a Yamaha HDD/CD recorder for live stuff. Hours of high quality recording on a hard drive. And, if we ended up with something we really liked, we could burn it to CD.

You went farther than I did with the HDD/CD stuff. For me it was DAT but that was due to the cameras at the time. Easier than those large VHS recorders.
 
I’m just a bit older than most of y’all so I had to outfit my first junker in high school with an 8 track.
And yes it sucked.
Only for a year or two though, I upgraded to cassette as soon as they became commonly available.
I was already into vinyl so I was a buy vinyl and make my own tapes for the car guy probably till sometime in the 00s when I got a vehicle with only a CD player.
I’ve never been much of a home recording guy but I did get more use out of a Tascam 4 track than I ever have with a DAW based setup.

I had a Fostex 4-track that I used for years. It had a battery pack. I equipped it with rechargeable batteries. It had a wall wart too but that introduced noise, so I preferred using battery power. I ended up giving it to my brother when I bought a 6-track digital hard drive recorder.

I saved up for an, expensive at the time, Vestax HDR-6, digital 6 track recorder. At first, it took time getting used to the fact that there was no tape coloration. But, I learned I could use the onboard EQ to effectively warm something up, if I wanted. It was pretty cool being able to record 4 tracks and bounce them over to 2 without perceived loss. Of course, mix as you go has the challenge of no take backs once you’ve bounced a few times.

I agree with you. I did more recording with the 4-track and 6-track than with DAW’s. Once I got married and we had a child, things were never the same regarding guitar and music.

I have no regrets. I was never going to be the next mega talent. Lol!
 
Back when I was recording stuff on 4 track I was purely an acoustic guy. Upright, Martin, maybe a banjo or mandolin, tape machine and a couple of mics. Not friggin computer, confusing software, or anything that required electricity other than the tape recorder.
Simple times were the best.

I played acoustic most of the time during my first decade. That decade had a big influence on the way I play and prefer to set up my electric guitars. Most of my electric guitars have action similar to an acoustic guitar.

I used to put heavy strings on electric guitars because of those years playing acoustic. But, I use light strings on everything now because I have long periods of not playing at all. The light strings make it easy for me to jump in and play after months long droughts of non playing.

I don’t set up my electrics super high, but they def ain’t super low.
I mostly stuck w 12s on the Martin just to avoid a neck reset years down the road. It’s been 40 yrs this month and still no need for it so I think it was a wise decision. On electric I’ve always ran 10s but I’m a recent convert to 9s on Fenders, my old man fingers are appreciating it.
 
When “yacht rock” was popular it was for housewives and casual music fan dudes. No one ever said “man, Leo Sayer totally rocks his ass off.” Real rockers hated that crap. They were busy jamming out to Foghat, UFO, Nazareth, Thin Lizzy, Blue Oyster Cult etc. Rick Beato is a douche drinker, his opinion is uncorrect.
 
I didnt pay much attention to all those studio rock/fusion guitar Gods that Beato goes on about. Sure I heard that stuff, you couldn't avoid it, but I was kinda over mainstream rock by the time those guys made their mark. I was mostly worshipping at the feet of Garcia, Lowell George, Ry Cooder, Tony Rice, and Norman Blake.

I can understand Beato to some degree. The musicianship is top notch, and the writing is a bit more advanced than the rock bands of that time.
To this day I can listen to some obscure Toto album tune and really appreciate the playing and writing behind it. Unfortunately those were never the hits. That said, I also dig the simple stuff. Hell, I play in an AC/DC tribute band and I love that, although I actually never listen to that stuff at home.

My issue with Beato though is he's an arrogant prick and a jazzhole who thinks everything that's simple is beneath him. For the record almost every jazzhole I know is exactly like that. And I really started hating the guy after he started his whole crusade of him versus every record company with the whole youtube blocking thing. That said....I love the interviews he does with known musicians. The Dave Gilmour one was amazing.
