Health Update

You’re a national treasure Rick! Looking forward to new videos!

We love you Rick. I'm glad you're recovering well.

Glad you are doing well Rick. We need you! Loving your interviews so much, so more of them is always great! Peace!

Godspeed Rick, 4 months ago my heart stopped and to wake up in an hospital with no recollection of nothing made me see the 2nd chance in living!!!

Hello Rick. I am a 15 year old who had problems with my heart too. I've been watching your videos for about 2 years and I wouldn't have started playing guitar without your chanel. I really do hope you continue to live a happy life and make more of those fantastic interviews. Much love from a younger Rush and King Crimson fan ❤

I'm glad to see you're doing okay Rick..

Rick I love watching your videos and interviews. I’m a 75 year old Hawaiian blessed to still be alive after my tour in Vietnam and 28 years of law enforcement. Music has kept me going for all these years. God Bless brother🙏🏽

We love you Rick, we are all so thankful you are still here with us. You are an amazing teacher and mentor. May God continue to bless you.

Thank you, surgeons for preserving Rick!

My wife had mitral valve surgery in 2014. She's now 76 and as strong and healthy as ever. All the best to you Rick!

One of your most endearing and certainly important videos. With all the affection we have for our instruments what’s most important is the life that breathes life into them. Thank you for all you do and stay well. EVERYONE.

Hello Rick! I'm sending you all the congratulations on your open heart surgery you just had most successfully from me here in Los Angeles that I can possibly send!!! I have been watching and enjoying your videos and interviews for a number of years now and yours are for sure some of the very best. Not too long ago you interviewed a friend of mine, the legendary bassist Leland Sklar. Last year I set up a book signing event for him at Norm's Rare Guitars in Tarzana, CA. You may have seen the video and interview that Norm did on his YouTube channel. Your interview with Lee was really well done!!! He's now out on the Summer tour with Lyle Lovett and his Large Band along with fellow drummer Russ Kunkel of the Immediate Family. Anyway Rick I was sure surprised to see you in the hospital and very glad that you're doing great. I'm a subscriber and I look forward to all of your upcoming videos. My best wishes to you for your continued excellent recovery and return to your wonderful YouTube posts!!! Bob Love, Los Angeles, CA age 77!!

Happy to see you're doing well Rick have a speedy recovery!

Great news, Rick. Talking for me: it's not curiosity, it's affection. And for those who say you're a national treasure, here is an Italian living in Spain who loves your channel and contents, and respect you a lot – said with a smile. Music has no boundaries!

Rick, it's not just your videos we love,it's you. Your personality, demeanor, just an absolute professional on all levels. Thank you so much for all you do. 🙏🏻

Wishing you a full and speedy recovery Rick !!🙏❤️

Wow, thank goodness you are still with us and are healthy Rick! You are our life line for good music and other things.

Rick I am so genuinely grateful that you have had such successful surgery. We need you in this world for so many more years to come. Your passion for not only music, but teaching, encouraging and bringing great artists to us is so greatly needed in this world.

praying for the best recovery possible Mr. Beato... May God bless you and thank you for being such an amazing inspiration!!

Great to hear your good news, I’m 72, recovering from surgery last year, and I am now a full time musician. You show has inspired me to write and perform every day. I have so many ideas that I would like send on to you, some good, maybe some not so good, but in any event if we don’t keep hitting the high and low notes, who else is going to. A few of my songs are on Spotify, I just started writing and having a blast, thank you for what you do🎶🎸🤺🎵❤️
