Absolutely, Rick Beato, keep up the Deep Cuts! I always totally dug Murder by Numbers - what a perfect place to start!
  It continues to illustrate why I love your channel so much: you’ve featured songs and players that I grew up loving, that are little more obscure, but I believe are some of the absolute greatest.
  First, it was the most musically advanced guitarist of all time-The King, Allan Holdsworth. (One of the most advanced musicians, period.) Then Carlos Rios on Gino Vannelli’s Brother to Brother album: are you kidding me?!! I didn’t think anybody but me, my brother, and my circle of friends growing up, had even heard of him!      Then, it was interviews with some of Allan’s drummers, including the genius Gary Husband...not to mention your old friend Vinnie Colaiuta! (Who also, by the way, followed the incredible Mark Craney-who played drums on Bro to Bro-playing drums on Gino’s next album Nightwalker. In fact, he wasn’t Vinnie yet-he was Vince Colaiuta!) Plus, Jeff Berlin, Vai, and all of the others I’m forgetting off the top of my head! Frampton, for God’s sake! The lovingly related stories of Allan by Gary Husband choked me up, man! He definitely meant as much to you as he did to me!
  And now, Murder by Numbers?! Come on!!
  All of these things have, actually, validated my tastes in music! You’re doing a great service to the world, by spreading the word about many of these greats, that so many people of our generation weren’t blessed to come across-let alone younger generations that would never hear of these people! Keep it up, man! I’m sure that you will surprise me again, with some player or album that I grew up on. I almost hesitate to suggest anyone because I’m working on starting my own channel!...But, I will: how about anything by Scott Henderson and Tribal Tech...or King’s X? Anything off of King’s X’s Gretchen Goes To Nebraska would be mind-blowing! (Especially, if you could get the individual tracks! Even if you couldn’t...🤘🏻🎸🤘🏻) (By the way, King’s X was the name of a restaurant that had awesome waffles, when I was growing up! In Wichita and the Midwest. )
  Sorry, just rambling here...too much musical inspiration to be contemplated! So many great musicians and great music, and so little time!
 Thanks for all of it, Rick Beato!!!

The brilliance of Stewart Copeland can't be under estimated.

This is a song by 3 geniuses. This is Art. Really brilliant.

The song did appear on the cassette version of the album. That's how I heard it. Great song.

Rick, keep the Deeps Cuts series going!  Taking some deep dives into songs in your "What Makes This Song Great?" series has been a fascinating journey.   The musical genius revealed in those tracks as the layers are probed is something that is so refreshing, and absent from music teaching.


I now have the Beato Book and several coffee cups.  I especially appreciate your videos that cover advanced music scales, triads, sevenths, ninths, and the like.   It really pushes me to understand more about the nuances of music theory, and how it all works.


I learned 6 and 12 string guitar, some banjo, and uke as a child and teenager.  Exploring them in my mid-50's is a completely different experience now that I have decades of immersion in a vast array of music styles.  Thanks for making music great again for me.

Andy Summers deserves an interview about this

The whole Synchronicity album is genius.

Rick, you deserve 5 million subscribers.  Most of the time I have no idea what you a talking about, but I still enjoy each video (and always learn something).  Thanks.

1:00 - Zapproved!

The “final” Police song. Sniff sniff. I miss that band.

Love this - new series?  Would be great to do great B-sides as well!  You can really hear the vibe of Dream of the Blue Turtles in this song...

The Police had so many 'deep cuts' worth diving into that were on par with their main hits, most of their output honestly.

It is so wonderful how a band like The Police can introduce a young audience of punk rockers to Jazz.  I was one of those kids back in the day.

The Police are so good. It's amazing that pop music used to be interesting.

Stewart Copeland hurts my brain.

knowing Copeland, he was probably trying to get Sting to mess up.

Stewart always knows where to come in, and is very intentional with where and when the kick is played, which is what makes his playing so different from every other player. He keeps the listener guessing while keeping the groove throughout. He's one of the greatest rock/pop drummers of all-time. A true master of numbers.

This would be another "What Makes This Song Great?" B-side or not, it's a great tune!

Stewart was one of the smartest drummers in rock. It is amazing how you're thrown off the beat when the guitars enter. His polyrhythmic ideas were so interesting.

Play the solo on Miss Gradenko and I will be impressed. That (wonderful) song has befuddled me since 1988.
