I gotta say goodbye to Rick Beato

The Benson and Metheny interviews were great, worth everyone’s time here. He also interviewed lesser knowns such as Marcusso. I enjoyed his Tony Levin interview, a lot, too. To get big rock star names on his show, he has to really dumb down the interviews (David Gilmour, Lee and Lifeson) and offer softball questions that are in their much smaller musical wheelhouse. The Gilmour interviews were particularly embarrassing, especially. He stated his Lifeson interview with a ? On the “Alex Lifeson” chord. Come on! LMAO!

There are so many incredibly famous and popular guitarists that don't know the half of it.

I have seen several of his interviews with Gilmour. There was a lot about technical and studios decisions, including quite a bit about Gilmour's pedal board.

I don't know where else you can find this type of detail on music theory, technical styles, recording techniques, etc. He also gets into mode changes.

The episondes are not tutorials with structures. They are discussions. I accept that not all with find that approach efficient or adequate. But after a mind-numbing day of work, his shows ofter are spot on as a blend of entertainment, information, and a dash of behind the scenes gossip.

I agree with the buffet concept.

“Take what you want and leave the rest, but you should never have taken the very best…”

I will second that interviewing is a hard job. Look at Carson or Cavett. They weren’t the best actors, musicians or comedians. Or the most knowledgeable about any of them, but they were great interviewers.

My hope is for a YT channel with Werner Herzog interviewing famous jazz musicians.
