Rick Beato At That Pedal Show! [Recording Guitar Tips, Producing & More]

Video Description

Rick drops in to chew the fat on guitar tone, recording and all that good stuff Welcome friends and thank you for joining us for this very special episode. We are delighted to welcome the incomparable Rick Beato to the show! Rick is a musician, educator, producer and well, all-round sensation on YouTube, having clocked up close to 3.5 million subscribers at the time of this video. That’s about 10 times That Pedal Show, just to put it into perspective. Rick contacted us to say he was heading to the UK, so we jumped at the chance of inviting him to Schwangri-La for a chat. There is sooooo much stuff we could have talked about, but we decided to centre on a general discussion around producing and recording guitar. Rick’s knowledge and insight on the subject is a treat for all of us. Please note, Rick doesn’t play in this video. For whatever reason he didn’t feel like playing today. And neither did Dan, so don’t get all handbag that it’s me playing and not them (Mick here, hello. Must be something I said?!). Enjoy the video, and after that, head on over to That Pedal Show Store to see what yer can find!
