Rick Beato. His channel banner says "Everything Music" and it's not a misnomer. I am not a musician, don't know a Dorian from a pentatonic, but every time he throws something up I drop everything and sit and listen to it. It's just that interesting.
You should know that he plugs his own music training courses (probably worth it) but has never once taken an outside sponsorship. He covers all genres and all fields of talent in music, and regularly pulls in younger unknowns for interviews as well as household names. He has nothing but praise for effort and talent, but no time for hacks. It is incredibly refreshing.
Even if you are only a listener and not a player, just getting the pro-level views on what things should sound like and even how to listen will take your own music listening up multiple notches. Be sure to look for his "What Makes This Song Great" videos, because they are not reactions, they are dissections: you will hear and learn things about songs you've heard a million times that you never noticed before.
Can't say enough good about this channel. When life sucks, I go listen to some Rick Beato.
That's funny, when life sucks, I go watch one of Pat Finnerty's What Makes This Song Stink videos, a direct (and similarly detailed) parody of Beato's videos
Holy shit. Never saw that before. Watching Dani California right now:
Well, he's not actually wrong, though I never expected anyone to bring all the receipts for it, much less to enjoy hearing them trotted out like I am right now. This is a legit song review and not just a parody. Thanks!
