Steel Beans on coordinating the drums and guitar!

What did you think?

Rick Beato tells Steel Beans he seems to have simultaneous guitar-and-drums playing down to a science. The musician's answer is to demonstrate how it developed, starting with something much simpler.

He plays an early version of his rhythm, then shifts into the more involved groove it became years later. Next come the drum fills, worked around the guitar rather than saved for a moment when somebody else can take over.

The small technical detail is guitar gain: enough of it lets him use hammer-ons while keeping the drums moving. Steel Beans identifies the lack of sustain as the tricky part, then pulls the elements together in a burst of riffs and fills.

For readers who met him in the earlier performances, as we reported here, this clip supplies a little of the how behind the whole-band effect.

That coordination has given the comment section plenty to discuss. Viewers joke that even the White Stripes had an unnecessarily large lineup, compare his multitasking with their own difficulty driving while talking, and recall seeing him perform live. Others focus on the riffs themselves, arguing that the music matters beyond the physical feat.

The Short drew about 510 comments in its first day, roughly seven times Beato's usual Shorts response, while its views were ordinary for the channel. Beato's own response to the demonstration is considerably shorter: "It's very cool."
