The only reason he's popular is because his son generated a lot of views for him years ago and he's just riding on that success. He didn't earn his status.

Ed Sheeran has good and popular songs but I don't think Rick envies him. It's just more valuable to actually master your instrument than being able to come up with shitty tunes because you're not basing your art on "inspiration" also known as luck and plagiarism

Rick Beato has not mastered his instrument and I don't think he'd claim to have either. I doubt he'd dismiss writing songs like that too. There's a million 'virtuoso' types, youtube guitarists, child prodigys etc and they never come up with anything worth hearing. It's the Jacob Collier phenomenon.

Beato is a very good guitarist and knows the fretboard very well, way more than a lot of virtuosos who think of the fretboard in terms of fret numbers. When it comes to Jacob Collier, as much as I think his music is garbage, hindsight might make me change my mind in 50 years we never know

Which is just done with intuitive theory rather than formal theory. In either case, thinking of a good melody and making a good piece of music are not synonymous. It depends on what you do with the melody, which, in most of pop music's case: jack shite

i know, that's what i'm saying and also that it happens to be better than what people who know theory can muster up because they go off pure feel which produces much better results than thinking something by a set of rules.

What faggots fail to understand is that great artists who "don't know theory" are extremely rare, that's the entire reason they are lauded. Plus they usually do use advanced "theory" concepts, they just figured them out on their own instead of being taught. But the average fag on this board who knows 3 guitar chords and has zero songwriting skill thinks he's on the same level as Jimi Hendrix because he couldn't read sheet music.

Well, I believe a healthy balance of intuitive thinking and textbook thinking is the ideal. Plenty of composers came up with ideas intuitively but used theory to develop them into cohesive works, thats how most works in the entire classical canon worked
