Rick, you and I have a very similar story. I got rejected on my first music audition, and then re-auditioned and became a music major in the Spring of my Freshman year. As of May I just graduated with a degree in music and received an award for top student of my program. Your story resonated with me so well.

@@downtownbillyandthenewjivefive Luck, money, and other advantages like background are not insignificant- they can make crucial differences- but in terms of longer-term development of skills and excellence, and in terms of deeper well-being, hard work, persistence, and perspective are required- although- although- a big chunk of one's relative happiness also seems to be linked to the temperament with which one is born. But beyond that, fulfilling one's 'range' depends upon oneself.
@downtownbillyandthenewjivefive
@@lotusholder I used to believe that. But it's not true. I used to believe that there was no obstacle that could not be overcome. That, also, is not true. I've been doing this a long time, kid. The spoils almost always go to someone with privilege. They fear people like me. Because once we show them the truth, they see what a load of horse manure they've had shoveled into their ears. I provide my other post below as evidence of this. I make great music. No one cares because I'm not famous. Also, you have to actually LISTEN. Lots of people say they like you, but when push comes to shove, you're all alone. We are actually in a time of extremely limited music. Why? Because the audience is preoccupied with their phones. So only loud, obnoxious noise gets through.

I was listening to your story about your personal history and love how inspirational it is. How you persevered despite being rejected and how you were even accepted as a peer to play beside your music teacher, Steve is just awesome. Then when you mentioned playing at a bar in Elmira, New York, I couldn’t help but wonder if it might have been the same little bar at which a band I drummed for back in ‘84 had also played. Can’t remember the name, but will never forget that we drove all the way up from Harrisburg, PA and there was a big snowstorm that night and we wound up playing for just two girls who had braved the storm to come out and they just sat there and just quietly stared at us the whole night.When we finished playing our sets the girls approached us while we were striking our gear and said, “ You guys are the best bend we have ever seen.” To which I responded, “ Thanks, but we couldn’t really tell if you liked us or not. You didn’t clap or anything.” Anyway, that’s my Elmira, NY story. Gotta love Rock n Roll. Doesn’t matter if you play for two people or thousands. Play it like you mean it and people will love it!

Hi Rick. I've just commented on your recent Fortunes of Failure video - which is what led me to this. Again, I can relate. I was clearly a bright and imaginative child, and learned to read, write and tell the time before I started 1st Grade. But I failed abysmally at school. I couldn't grasp so much of what was being crammed into us. I was bullied, labeled a dunce and a failure, and finally left at age 15 with no qualifications. I went to work as a farm labourer, which was practically the only job I could get. I accepted that I must be 'thick'... and yet there was something inside me that told me there was far more to it - and that I'd been failed rather than the other way around. Fast-forward to 23: I take an IQ test and am admitted to Mensa, with an IQ of 158. Ten years later, I graduate from university with an Honours degree in English and American Literature. I've gone on to become a published writer... and also (at the late age of 56) to discover that I have Asperger's Syndrome. This latter accounts for many of the problems I've encountered in life, right from first starting school: social interaction, social communication, methods of learning, depression and anxiety, etc. But I've come through. I gone ahead in spite of the obstacles. I've proven all those teachers, critics and nay-sayers wrong. Good message, my friend. Don't give up. Follow your own head, and follow your own path. Success and fortune are relative concepts, and take many shapes. Only by pressing ahead with life, and rising above the failures, can we truly discover what this whole thing is all about... and why we, as individuals, are here.

I am now finally actualizing it, attempting to create music worthy of a listener's time.

Wow, this hits me in the gut! So many parallels to my own early story. As a fellow Rochesterian, I was very familiar with Fredonia and Ithaca, those were schools I also considered. I too relied on talented friends to help me learn to teach myself guitar out in Webster. I learned mainly by ear, but was interested in reading, but never really found a teacher who I could relate to. I knew I had talent, but had no idea how to make use of it besides writing songs and improvising. Meanwhile I listened nonstop to Miles, Weather Report, Genesis and Zeppelin. A couple years later, I struggled with learning and *understanding* the repertoire for college auditions. Part of it was that I didn’t see a reason to study a single instrument (guitar) to the exclusion of everything else related to music - e.g. composing, recording, arranging, soundtrack work, etc. At that time, (and in my little bubble in Webster) finding a path in music seemed abstract - literally nobody knew any more than I did. I look back now and wonder why it was so hard to get good information? Anyway, once I realized that I wouldn’t be able to compete with students who had been basically groomed for the process their entire life, I gave up on studying music at that time and gravitated toward media and film studies, which allowed me to stay involved in music on many levels. But part of me was still unfulfilled. So as a sophomore at SUNY Buffalo, I remember seeing my guidance counselor about it, and remember him telling me to give up trying to study music because the acceptance process was too rigorous and it was too late. The coda is this: a month before graduation, I ventured to the music school one day (to see John Cage - I was lucky enough to meet him and spend time talking with him in an anechoic chamber there, which is quite pithy if you know Cage’s work). Anyway, afterward I stumbled into a rehearsal studio and spoke with a professor there about my media studies and what was next for me. When I told him about my experience trying get a chance to study music at UB, he told me that my guidance counselor should have known that there is a COMPOSITION major at UB which would have been a perfect fit for me and had no audition required. I’m not blaming him, because I should have been more curious, but I’ll never forget how I felt at that moment. Such a dunce! Eventually I was able to parlay my media studies to get work in the music recording field and worked in Rochester at PCI and as a freelance engineer and assistant for film and video production, which allowed me to work on interesting recordings with top musicians. Bottom line is: listen to Rick and don’t just give up. Ask questions and question authority.

If you want to go to music school, make sure you have a teacher who has a degree or knows what it’s like to audition. That being said, sometimes underachievers need the incentive of a failure to make them realize their potential. The sting of failure is a real motivator for some people. Look how far Beato has come just on grit alone- love it!

I saw another comment from a person who said, among other things, that he had "a very different personality than you, so I wasn't making friendships and connections to support continuing." This is key: in this and your other great bio video I felt that your personality and 'sure, I'll do that' confidence was every bit as important as your natural ability, if not more so. So many of the successful musicians I've worked with were equally blessed.

The passion that you instilled in me helped me in getting a degree in Jazz Guitar( I transferred out to DePaul) but your work ethic actually stuck with me and has helped me become successful in education as an administrator ( my career for the last 20 + years).

This video connected with me more than any other instructional videos I've been watching from you for over a year probably now. I went through similar struggles as a saxophone perf major through elementary high school in Atlanta and college at Troy State AL and UGA, first chair in high school and failed most my other classes except music but I was still an outsider and preferred to shoot from the hip on intuition and improvisation through my ear instead of the book but always tried to study. So many heartbreaks with family expectations to go into proper business but always and still wanting to follow my own path on guitar. I played in the 1:00 jazz bands on both instruments but didn't have the proper training. Still trying to make up for it today. High school track coach wanted me to do hurdles but I turned him down. I've taught hundreds of kids how to play guitar but I'm still so behind. Went to GIT in Atlanta in 86 with Jimmy Herring teaching and it's still a burning desire to improve and find peace with it. It's an inspiration for me to see how your intestinal fortitude got you to where you are today. Thanks, Jamie, Cartersville GA

@@RickBeato Wow, the audio is so much better now. I only started following about a year and a half ago. I absolutely love your channel and can't get enough. I've been playing drums since 1999, and guitar since around 2005. I'm from Cincinnati, OH but I actually lived in Atlanta for 7 years. I was in 3 active band at one point while living in ATL. All 3 bands were different styles as well which really helped with keeping my chops up. One band was indie-psychedelic rock, one was hip-hop with live instruments, and the third was pop-rock with a slight country-ish flare and a female vocalist Sydney Eloise and her equally amazing and talented boyfriend and producer/ studio owner Damon Moon. Damon produced and tracked the other two bands I was in and it was a pleasure playing with Damon and Sydney. I truly believe her album is good enough to have made it onto the charts to this day. It was my first time playing drum parts that were wrote by someone else and it was a big eye opener and helped me greatly. Anyways---- I REALLY wish I would have known of you when I lived down there. I would have loved to have had the opportunity to have met you and/or especially had the chance to record at your studio. Do you still use your studio to record projects? I've been sitting on a pile of solo songs that I've had from 2006-2020 and I've actually narrowed them all down to a 6 song EP titled "Knock, Nock, Nocturnal" but I've kinky demoed the songs on garage band on my phone and have always wanted to record them properly in a real studio setting. Keep up the great work Rick, I hope you know you bring a lot of knowledge and more importantly possibly, JOY to many peoples lives. Thanks for all the work that goes into to these videos. Sincerely, Dale Kay P.S.- Also running track helped in your trajectory of your path as well. Wild how life works.

What an inspiring story Rick. Thank you for sharing your story. Life has strange twists and turns. Funny how the universe works because your story came across to me today when I needed to hear it. My 20-ish yr. daughter is having some difficulties, one being school. I'm going to share your story with her later today. I feel it may give her some honest insight on dealing with her troubles at the moment in a positive way. Thanks.

Every now and then I stumble upon a video here that really focuses the mind. Sometimes groups, oftentimes lessons for guitar and keyboards, but occasionally I find something like this. This story sounds so familiar as far as the eras lived through, beginning performing in '72, but points out that one thing I quite lacked- dedication. I watched the video with Frampton this morning, and immediately found Beato's groove. Thanks, man, for the story as much as the lessons. It means more than I have the ability to describe. Peace.

Great story. Congrats on having the will and persistence to turn things around! You've inspired me to begin my guitar music theory video course I've been staring at across the room for about six months now. You have another regular viewer! Thanks for all you do, Rick.

This is a powerful story! Inspiring... it shows what you can achieve if you don't give up... and how things can radically turn around. The thing that brought it home for me was that your office as a professor was exactly where your started and flunked out, it must have been surreal... WOW!!! As I imagine what that must have been likey, I have no words to express other than very awesome! Thanks for sharing.

Rick, you are a rock solid dude. I never played any musical instrument. In high school I wanted to play drums and have a band. My defeatist attitude stopped that. But I really enjoy learning from your channel. I have no regrets.I became a good listener of music though (LOL). I appreciate your work on this channel- always great and informative.

Hi Rick, so glad I saw this video! I had a music assessment on Drums at University yesterday, and it didn't feel at all as though it was going to plan, and no where near the level of standard in my rehearsal at home. It almost felt like a slow motion car crash emotionally, which I guess we can all relate to from time to time. So much so when I came home, I avoided playing the drums since. Just a few minutes ago, I watched your video feeling quite down, and it lifted me more than you can imagine. Then I remembered what my Dad said to me before he passed away in August, keep going, the timing is right for you all these years later, to live your dream and pursue your real career goal finally. Mom and I are behind you 100% he told me, and would support me every step of the way. Even after yesterday, I'm not giving in! I've waited 39 years for this opportunity to pursue a Degree course in the field I love, so there is no way I'm giving up now, this is literally my last chance. So I just wanted to say, how time timely Praise The Lord, that I should your video about your experience. It's given me great hope, and challenged me not to give up the fight to achieve what I wanted to embark upon 39 years ago! Thank you so much Rick! God bless, Mark.

That story almost made my stomach hurt while you were trying out the first time. It is such an emotional and and scary thing to fly away from home the first time. I did not have an easy go of it either, finding my way in life. Thank goodness we only have to go through that one time. The whole time I was wishing someone had give you more guidance, but at the same time, too much guidance makes people weaklings, so perhaps it is best for it to be hard at first. I am glad everything worked out for you in the end! I am really enjoying your channel, btw.

You have a ton of grit and determination! That's great! My story of music isn't nearly as dramatic as yours, but I started playing classical piano when I was 5 and cello when I was 8. I played in orchestras through high school and did pretty well, but that was the end of my classical music experience. I taught myself rock/blues guitar starting when I was 15, but a few experiences of severe stage fright (my fingers would shake so badly that I couldn't play) convinced me that I would never be able to play guitar in front of people, much less with a band. This lasted until last year--when I was 32 years old. I saw a post on NextDoor about an open acoustic jam band and decided to just go. I took my acoustic guitar and joined their open jam session. A couple of sessions in, two of the guys from there invited me to start a rock band with them. Now, a year later, I've played several gigs with the acoustic band and have recorded about 20 covers and a few originals with the rock band (just on SoundCloud). They've told me repeatedly what a great guitarist I am. I always *knew* was a great guitarist--I taught myself Jessica by the Allman Brothers when I had only been playing guitar for 2 years--but I never had the confidence to go for it. I'm glad I did and I wish I had done it earlier!
