CT Adult Poll Dance #1 Rick Beato

[e-ssam]

My first impression was one of the two SF extraverts and when I went back to the videos I was thinking more about
"why did I not think TeSi?" rather than "why not SeFi?"

Which was mostly not being sure about Ti polr.

He didn't seem low Fx, but he still had a softness about him that made me consider perhaps Si valuing.
and as Sarah said,
"He's too interpersonally warm and "puer" for TeSi" and I stopped getting Fe frame from him too, and i started considering NeFi for that quadra.

So I was back at SeFi but with NeFi

Also, his "yang" variation of Se, reminds me somewhat of my brother who i typed as SeFi (Although I'm not fully sure about that but, it should've made me think more about SeFi early on rather than jump around and back to it)

People, watch just the first minute of this video.

This is not anomalous. This energy is everywhere with him. All you have to do is pay attention.

The first problem is that paying attention doesn't mean figuring him out, it means being present to him.

There are other problems, but that was the first. I strongly suspect if I hadn't used a video about the legacy of his father in the OP, that someone would have realized he's Se > Si (and no, Se sixth isn't Se > Si ).

But like I said, there was no particular reason why I picked that video; it didn't seem to matter much which I picked because like most Se doms, "Rick is always just Rick". And if as a group you're going to be that influenced by the topic of a video....

then you're not present to the person. Anyone can talk about anything.

First 30 seconds even. Rick is always Rick.

[Roshan]

Almost finished with the interview, just a preliminary comment:

Throughout, it seems obvious that they're mentally and emotionally indulging together the wonders of the ins and outs of various 'musical styles/techniques,' as well as the story/legend component here. It seemed that this is what Rick Beato was doing on his own in the first video posted in this thread, and between him and May it seems something like mirror relations.

Personally, I could listen to both of these two for hours, especially Brian May—what a cool and interesting person!

It seemed to me that what Rick did ultimately in that video was what good supervisors do: he stepped back and allowed the supervisee to absorb the PolR. And since the supervision was with Se, what he did was allow Brian to absorb his baraka. This is how spiritual learning takes place--through the transmission of presence. Rick totally gives Brian the stage, and he did not have to. Brian was willing to let him explicitly be the teacher. But Rick declined.

I found it most amusing when Rick insisted, now tut, tut, Brian, dear, I learned guitar from you, while Brian was rather Se-polrishly trying to give the power over to Rick. But Rick didn't accept it, which was the real power. They're both quite healthy.

[Roshan]

And while I do understand you thought music theory wouldn't be Ti PolR, if you listen to the video again about the album his father gave him, he picked it up viscerally, -Sarah-. He's an intuitive musician (in the quotidian sense of the word). He gets music from his senses, holistically; the theory comes after. And another thing is, he did it as a challenge. The father said if you can play this then you'll be something, he laid down the gauntlet, and Rick took it--and he won.

He picks music up viscerally, and then he Te's the theory. And that's why he's so good at teaching it. He does it all by Se and Te, not Ti. So he can lay out the Te easily and people get it.

11'11"-12'33" It's really all right there. He's as much of a sensor as can be, and that sensing is extraverted--it's exploratory and once he finds what's out there you can have it too. And then, in music, T really is T, so it's all just there. And he was teaching students the foundations at that college; he wasn't writing dissertations about theory. I can't say I feel the same holds true for astrophysics though. I would think Ti PolR PhD in astrophysics would be much rarer than Ti PolR musician with a teaching method. I mean there's a reason so many call ESFP "The Performer", and a lot of performers teach their craft to get by.

Okay, let's go through this. First....

My first impression was one of the two SF extraverts

And you chose FeSi instead of SeFi mostly because you thought Ti PolR was highly unlikely, right, e-ssam? I already started to broach this issue here and we all need to look at it carefully in general, because I think Ti is being used to mean at least two very different things, both of which are often being differentiated from Te rather arbitrarily. But fine--for now, in the first video you (and most if not all people here) assumed Rick Beato was highly unlikely to be Ti PolR.

What about Ni PolR? DId he seem highly likely to be Ni PolR? Somewhat likely? And what about alpha quadra? Did he seem more likely to be alpha quadra than Ti PolR--from the first video alone?

This popped up about how Rick Beato started playing guitar. He had broken his leg as a kid and was stuck in the house, and his brother happened to have a cheap guitar and a song book, and he happened to pick up the song book and find a song he liked a lot. So he looked at the cord diagrams and found them on the guitar himself and imitated the strumming he heard on the radio. Which means he started with more complex chords rather than the basic ones, let alone the notes, with no idea why they were called what they were or consisted of what notes they consisted of. He started by looking, listening, and moving. He was moving his hands because he couldn't walk. Somehow I'm not surprised.

The title he gives the video is also noteworthy. Everything for him is an experience; this is about the impact (Se) on him personally (Fi). It's not about a linear sequence, the outset of how your YouTube music teacher become a musician; it's about a momentous experience in his life. (And his ego is huge enough to figure if you're on board you'll give a shit about a title about him
, and if not so what.)

America is a great band.

2.
When I had written that NeFi was a strong possibility, the one thing that was messing with my head IS his strongly grounded in the moment presence, and in that video [as well as the rest of his videos] it is just strikingly clear...
IMO he has a very strong Si/Fe overlay to him...but I think it's because he's SO SO SO here and now, and you can really see that. It's his being 'in the here and now' out of which he derives his meaning, and he's giving that to us. In real time, he's giving us his experience and HOW he experienced it and HOW powerful it is and was, and you can see just on his facial expressions how meaningful it all is to him, like he's pulling us into his 'memory space' in the now(I sound like a broken record about his playing records, I know) and reliving it. I know he's my conflictor, but I'll say once again, I find him delightful to watch.

Warmth and yes, didn't strike me as Ti polr.
What about Ni PolR? DId he seem highly likely to be Ni PolR? Somewhat likely? And what about alpha quadra? Did he seem more likely to be alpha quadra than Ti PolR--from the first video alone?

He seemed open and with warmth that I attribute to alpha quadra more than gamma. Also, the topic of the video made me heavier on the Si side. I wasn't considering Ni polr.

[Roshan]

Okay, but first of all, why would you rule out one of two types based on the PolR and not consider the PolR of the other type e-ssam? And what about the second video? Delta ST seemed very possible because...?

I realize now the first video may have been misleading, and it's because of Fe demo btw more than Si unignoring, but I think in the second video he looks like he could eat Brian May for breakfast, personally.

[Roshan]

I'm not really sure why people think gamma can't seem warm.
