As a reminder: This is the last day. My Memorial Day sale ends tonight at midnight → rickbeato.com/
All 7 of my courses for $109. Theory, ear training, guitar, scales, arpeggios, songwriting. Over $730 worth of material. One-time payment, yours forever.
I've spent the last few weeks talking about music critics who don't understand theory, judging the greatest songwriters of all time. About an industry where only rich kids can afford the tools to break in and about streaming platforms that reward the most formulaic music.
All of these problems come back to the same thing: music education is either gatekept or overpriced.
A single course at Berklee Online costs $1,575. A four-year music degree runs $200,000+. Most people can't touch that. So they learn from YouTube, they piece things together, and they end up stuck, playing the same licks for 20 years. Hearing music but not understanding why it works.
I started writing the Beato Book over 30 years ago when I was teaching at Ithaca College. Every concept my students struggled with, I'd find a better way to explain it and write it down. That collection became 500 pages. Then I built six more courses around it. Theory, ear training, guitar, scales, arpeggios, songwriting. Seven programs designed to take you from wherever you are to actually understanding music.
For Memorial Day, all 7 are $109. One-time payment. Yours forever. That's less than one credit hour at most music schools.
If you've been watching my videos and nodding along when I break down why a song works, but you can't explain it yourself yet, this is how that changes.
My Easter sale ends tomorrow at midnight. All of the teaching resources I've created over 40+ years for $109. Theory, ear training, guitar, scales, arpeggios, songwriting. Over $730 worth of material.
Watching YouTube is not a practice routine. Including my channel.
I read the comments. A lot of you are stuck playing the same pentatonic licks you learned in your twenties, watching breakdown after breakdown. But watching a cooking show doesn't make you a chef. At some point you have to get in the kitchen.
That's why I built my courses. The same structured curriculum I used to teach my university students. Theory, ear training, guitar, scales, arpeggios, songwriting. 7 programs designed to force you through the work you've been avoiding.
For Easter, I'm putting all 7 together for $109. Seven courses for the price of one. Over $730 worth of material.
Stop scrolling. Pick up your instrument. Let's get to work.
I don't say this enough, but I genuinely appreciate every single one of you who watches these videos.
I started making YouTube content because I love talking about music. I never expected it to turn into what it has. 5.51 million of you decided this was worth your time, and that still blows my mind. The comments, the livestream conversations, the stories people share about picking up guitar again after 20 years... that's the stuff that keeps me going.
A lot of you have also bought my programs over the years, and I wanted to do something specifically for the people who show up here. I'm running The Beato Ultimate Bundle right now. Beato Book, Ear Training Method, Scale Matrix, and Arpeggio Masterclass. All four courses for $89.
But for all of you YouTube subscribers, I want to take an extra $10 off. Use code RB306 at checkout and it's $79 for all four. Over $500 worth of material.
This is my way of saying thanks. Sale ends TOMORROW, Friday March 6th. rickbeato.com/
They start by memorizing songs. Then they learn some scales. Maybe some chords. And 10 years in, they still can't explain why a progression works or hear the difference between a Major 7 and Minor 7 chord.
I know because I was a college professor for years, and almost every student who walked in had the same problem…lots of playing, very little understanding.
The ones who broke through weren't more talented. They just learned both sides: the theory AND the instrument at the same time. Once your ear, your brain, and your hands are all working together, everything clicks.
That's why I put these four courses together. The Beato Book and Ear Training give you the knowledge and the ear. The Scale Matrix and Arpeggio Masterclass give you the fretboard.
It's $89 for all four this week. Get it here: rickbeato.com/

Most people learn music backwards.
They start by memorizing songs. Then they learn some scales. Maybe some chords. And 10 years in, they still can't explain why a progression works or hear the difference between a Major 7 and Minor 7 chord.

What's a 'rule' in music theory you had to unlearn?
