Beato’s listing of the music theory elements is a bit opaque, especially if you don’t know any such theory. In another thread, I posted: > [@Angie is the weakest song on Goats Head Soup](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/angie-is-the-weakest-song-on-goats-head-soup/918095/14): > > … will reveal so much about the song production value, harmonies, instruments, melodies; it’s just incredible. And that is where the value is, not as much in the theory. And I say that having taken a series of music theory classes at school! But breaking out the various tracks so you can hear the layered vocals, or how the ‘click track’ wasn’t really a click track, or the micro-fills, etc., is great. He has insider information on the songs from people who were there. He’ll point out melodic references to earlier songs… I really like his What Makes This Song Great? series, although I admit that I only listen to the ones where I already know the song in question. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-to-watch-adam-neely-rick-beato-etc/918361)._
