Thanks, that's as clear an explanation as I've ever read. And not a partial derivative in sight!

Fish has been giving a preview of some of the tracks from his final album on Facebook on Friday nights. He’s talked through the process from recording, production and dealing with record pressing etc, much of this happening throughout lockdown. He’s going all out on this one with double vinyl, double cd and blue ray options.
He’s a bit of a hifi buff and has gone half speed mastering on his final creation as well.
Anyway, here’s one of the tracks dealing with his fathers dementia. Video created in lockdown apparently which is excellent.

Arrived at B4 Hacker Ergo
I used to do this at school, unlocking folks forgotten combination lock in return for homework
A real Trip down memory lane there!
Whats kind of funny is that only the DJ`s/dedicated had dance music on vinyl!
Everyone else had ropey C90 tapes that they taped off badly tuned pirate radio stations, mix tapes
from the big raves or mix tapes that freinds had made/copied.
All of these were promptly knackered by hungry tape players in overheated Escorts or Golfs!
We did have quite a few tapes that we made directly from our Amiga`s that came on single
or a couple floppy discs with 8+ minute long tracks! People were like WHAT? No way!?
when we told them where the music playing in the car came from!
Heres an early one from 1989!

Nice. The organ bit is very tricky.
The Band Geek do a spiffy couple of Boston covers:
What amazes me is that today with talent and the right FX, you can get close to what took Tom Scholz years to perfect in his basement studio.

The more Beato I watch the more I like him. He’s a real fan/enthusiast and so often manages to get to the heart of things even with all the fancy musicology. I subscribed quite a long time ago now and watch most stuff. If anyone wants a starting point his Joni Mitchell video is great.

I agree - Beato is a music fan...I don't share some of his rockier tastes but his enthusiasm is infectious. He made a good point about Keith Jarrett the other week - he'd love to feature him but would be blocked "his legacy is being lost."
Just bought the Joe Pass "Chops" and a Peterson Trio featuring NHOP as a result of that latest video...incredible playing.

Yes he is completely happy for them to be demonetised but they are getting blocked anyway. And it's seemingly always from people like Jarrett who would otherwise not be getting exposed to anyone under 50.
And of course his videos are either massive adverts for artists ("What makes this song great", "Top 20 XXXX...") or pure teaching.

Although I am mildly triggered when Beato says "in the pocket"; A phrase that tells you like nothing else that are deep in the Dad Rock weeds
I've been enjoying his channel since I stopped working I think. He often has a very american (obviously), dad rock perspective - that's his viewer base presumably - but he's clearly got much broader interests himself and a clear love of music per se. Do you watch David Bruce Composer channel too?

I do. A good friend of mine has worked with him (my friend is an opera singer) and says he is every bit as wonderful and inspiring human being as he appears in his videos.

That's cool - my uncle was an opera conductor, staff conductor at the ENO for a while in the 70s (sorry if I've said before.) It's so rare to see people coming from hard, post-war, working class backgrounds like he did, into work like that today. That's partly why I like those kinds of channels - Warren Huart and a few others, who give something big back to everyone for those willing to make the effort

It is just so dumb! I’m all for copyright and paying musos for their work, and YouTube does this now, so basically what these idiots are doing is saying they don’t want Rick Beato to advertise their work to a fresh audience in a remarkably informative manner and to get paid from him doing so! Why would you not want that?! My suspicion is a lot of the time the musicians actually have no idea and it is just some low-paid blurt in a suit in some publishing company reading from a script. The prat from The Eagles is the prat from The Eagles, and I suspect Beato is right about Jarrett too, who seems a remarkably temperamental person who’d likely take offence at someone dissecting his improvisations. He’s a genius though, I have hours of his work. Probably days actually.

For defs! It's not the artists, or even the original record companies (who were the definition of exploitative sharks) but today's conglomerate record companies and publishers who effed up on preserving the lagacy of the recorded music and are trying to claw back as much as they can. Clowns!

These are all enforced via specialised companies and it's about actively defending copyrights rather than finding more income or stopping videos that might theoretically otherwise have to pay a licensing fee (but of course never will). The fact that a lot of the most absurd copyright holders tend be old men I think is mostly because they are all old enough to have been around for the the MP3 / Napster years and have they have regressed into responding to people listening to their music in "they took our stuff!" South Park style.
Because the problem here is that the world has changed and lots of copyright driven industries haven't. In practical terms, copyright mostly exists for bad actors to extract value for things to which they add marginal value. So for example, the record label was traditionally talent search, agents and physical distribution which in any sensible world would earn them minimal, flat fees. Most of their business is euphemistically called "trucks and sheds" by management consultancies precisely to indicate it's mundane, marginal value and that it should be in service of the copyright holder rather than using copyright to artificially restrict artist and consumer rights so you turn driving a truck of CDs up the M1 into a way to print money.
In all of this it's important to remember that the music industry should be no different from ever other industry that has seen the old ways of working disappear and by now most of these companies should have found something relevant for their artists and consumers and socially useful to do or else ****ed off. In my industry (finance) and my profession (software engineering) everything has changed and it should be no different just because the this you make is a song instead of a computer program, or trading platform.
I do think this is a music specific thing though and it's very noticeable that since I got back into guitars, music software comes with these weird licensing utilities that require you to install come cancer like software -- for which you cannot see the source code and could literally to do anything -- and enter a code. This sort of thing died out about 20 years ago in the rest of the industry as a) everyone is connected to the internet now and b) for sensible people making your customers jump through hoops to prove they are not criminals is considered perverse.
Of course copyright has to exist and if I try to release a cover of Beyonce's latest or play endless Top 40 hits for the customers of my bar then I should be stopped. But stuff like copyright hassling of Rick Beato should be covered under a broad fair use exemptions and their should be some reasonable burden on the copyright holder to prevent frivolous takedowns. I refuse to believe anyone really things Don Henley would suffer if the limit to how much Hotel California you could use in a music theory video went from the current 4 secs to, say, 20 secs.
In other words the free software people (and Vuk!) were basically right about copyright. In its current form it's ultimately a bad thing for the general good.

PS Days of Jarrett sounds like a CIA torture programme
