Hamer sighting - Jeff Ament talks to Rick Beato

[mrjamiam]

 

Jeff name drops Jol and Rick inquires as to the proper pronunciation of Hamer.

Anyone else find it funny that this influencer douche doesn’t know how to pronounce, “Hay-mer?”

It's possible he knows many people mispronounce the brand name and wished to invoke the opportunity to clarify it.  

Or...he simply didn't know the pronunciation.

[RobB]

Well, maybe. Nobody ever said, “Fannie Lou Hammer.”

Hey Rob,

 

Do you know Rick? I guess if he has mistreated you in some way, I can understand you calling him an "influencer douche". He happens to be a personal friend, and has always been nothing but a really decent gentleman, willing to share his immense musical knowledge with anyone that is interested in listening. He has a great resume in music, and I feel bad if you have had a different personal experience with him. And BTW, he knows how to pronounce Hamer, we have discussed my guitars multiple times.  He may have just stumbled. I wish I knew 1/4 about music that he does.

 

Have a good day,

 

Kerry

I got served.

Rick is one of a scant few online guitar dudes I find interesting and worth watching. YMMV.

No offense meant. I just wanted to let you know that he's actually a good dude.

Have a good one,

Kerry

I have enjoyed his videos for many years (yes, I'm subscribed to both channels). His theory videos and "Top 10" videos are great, but I find his long-form interviews to be Library-of-Congress-Archive worthy. The interviews with Bernard Purdy, Rick Rubin, and especially Ron Carter were incredible. 

ETA: forgot to mention the Alan Parsons interview. Amazing. His knowledge of the artists' back catalogs is typically greater than the artists themselves.

Love RB's videos. His interviews with Christopher Cross & Jeff Baxter, etc. I find very interesting.
