Both masters in their spaces but let's acknowledge this is the best Shampoo commercial I've ever seen.

[@pedrod.7576]

Based comment lmao

[@Okasws]

😂

[@khrawkuparroyiawphniaw8756]

😂😂😂

[@ekredel]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@fshanahan]

And btw I'm a huge UAFX fan. 4 UAFX pedals on my board right now.

[@kevindemand]

This is the best interview of Mateus on KZbin, especially for someone who wants to learn his style. I like how Nahre has Mateus walk us through his method and how he thinks about his playing. It *almost* feels approachable broken down like this.

[@Kay_OC]

i've been waiting years for this lol

[@rachmann516]

Western classical compositions tend not to leave room for improvisation as the spaces are integral to the composition. The blues have huge holes where the musician can improvise. They are similar to the "raga" which is a melodic framework for improvisation and composition in classical Indian music. Nahre perhaps is finding it difficult to reconcile the two understandably bc they are 2 different animals so to speak.

[@danielarevalo7013]

The interviewer skillfully made him feel at ease, allowing him to delve into his approach in great detail, something I haven't witnessed him do with others.

[@sean_tristan31]

his dry signal SOUNDS SO GOOD ALREADY DAMN

[@tiborbogi7457]

Can we imagine how much practicing is behind that playing. Like he explained, may be he feel it like exploring harmonies and possibilities not practicing. But still sometimes in the past he was beginner, like everybody else.

[@ryanreeves8931]

We are so lucky to be in a time where we can watch the creative magic unfold in realtime!!!

[@onethousandtwonortheast8848]

I like his chill personality. The great hair and the stoned chill vibe is probably the best combination on the YT circuit of guitarists.

[@itmightbemusic79]

I love the way that Nahre drew out so many insights from Mateus. This conversation is like a window into the mind of a musical genius.

[@joeniven1175]

Man, this is the best video I've seen of Mateus breaking down his playing. The man's a freaking legend!

[@JureJerebic]

Love how Nahre lets him express his approach without trying to coach him (she's a few levels up from him, speaking in harmonic vocabulary and developmental sense). Great conversation!

[@davidmarais1048]

What a guitar player …. Goosebumps.

[@jaredlimbu7410]

man all love mateus 💙 from Nepal...Asia

[@MasterMojo85]

What he's just pulling off after deactivating his effects at the end of the video is just the sweetest stuff I've ever heard on a guitar. This guy is just incredible.

[@MrCasti-tr6co]

No matter what this guy is the guitar and not the other way around. The control is out of this world

[@ecosound]

Nari is just there holding the space …masterfull interviewing

[@Guoboy]

"you're so good its frustrating" lol me when i watch every guitarist that are good

[@marting1]

Mateus plays like ive always wanted to play. even since before i started playing guitar 20 years ago. organic shapeless free beautiful

[@AbhayNayak]

best interview of mateus, rick beato did a great job but the depth of the thought process in this is next level

[@dim-ux1bt]

Yeah Rick beato is pretty nutshellish character in music. his lesson, critics and praise (interview) is sounded like the music that he called garbage in the chart. Shallow

[@BradMiller007]

Mateus is a such a special player. One of the best of the new generation there is.

[@RodrigoLaiho7]

Im brazilian and never seen Mateus getting the opportunity to be cherished so well into his craft like this, you both suits a very natural ambient for introspective insights to come out. Thank you guys! Love both of your sweet souls/music.

[@Henry_Says]

The whole time I can only sense their connected chakra lol. They have such a chemistry😂

[@arcaneExistence]

same!!

[@KevinRussellSpaceSimSTEAMphony]

His neck thumb bass movement/use, especially when its higher on the neck than the diade/or triad /or extended chord is the extraordinary technique IMHO. Cause he even says he has small hands, but his 'thumb joint and rotation is amazing/not easy and I'd love more about that.

[@ragzpicker9848]

When he look at her and smile is the most beautiful thing 😊

[@goncalomusic1296]

This was great! Mateus knowledge of the fretboard and his feel for music are out of this world!

[@0001111000220]

The villain from Across the Spiderverse is a good interviewer!

[@temtemlarson]

Dear mateus, thats not normal.

[@BenWeeks-ca]

They are both so nice, cute and chill. it's delightful. Wonderful artists.

[@user-in4cw3mj8f]

One of the best guitarists, I ‘ve ever listened

[@henry247]

Best guitarist of this generation and its not even close

[@kingbryn1692]

Brilliant. I love Mateus’ command of the fretboard. Everything sounds so fluid, clear and correct. His embelishments are incredible. Such a chill dude for being so good at the guitar

[@arielmst]

This interview the other way around would/will be awesome specially with Mateus learning how to play piano.

[@chuckyinges]

Damn...this is like Spiderman meets Batman. 14:24 This is the first time I see Paul's name mentioned in a context like this to a non-guitar player.

[@silentj1022]

Two of the most artists that i listen and aspire in one video. Tasteful!

[@JoydeepBose]

Such legends. Such truthfulness in their expression. What a treat to watch em discuss music. Thank you UA for putting it all together.

[@amarildogallooliveira3758]

Beautiful! Wonderful! Exciting! Asato after the break, brings another depth to the songs! The soul of music! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@brunosampaio2399]

Mateus´s playing never get boring to listen too, such a good taste, phrasing, tone. When I watched him playing for the first time I was so amazed, and still am.

[@nindot78]

We need a part 2 of this interview soon.

[@mariolordeiro8590]

That is just GREAT! Thank you!

[@JpeterZoom-gt3pn]

Mateus Asato is so very musical and the analysis from Nahre Sol is so very interesting as the her classical brain tries to drop in a language to describe what he is doing without thinking...following his ears down the melody line and adding passing notes and even chordal melodic ideas that appear to flow without effort as glides up and down in his very laid back way...almost breathing out the music from his fingers...

[@oldvet79]

I love everything about this video. Music is powerful.

[@willianguedes8143]

Maju deve morrer de orgulho

[@gdhaym8_]

Loved this!! So interesting. ✨

[@rogeriodasilvarodrigues578]

[@dondongo4036]

[@user-rc6wn3tl8c]

Wow! I am already a Super Fan to both of you just listening how you share your ideas and your wonderful approach to creating your own kind / type of music having a variety of approaches to music making! Keep up the very good work as I will continue to follow both of you! God bless and more blessings!

👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@makenerjamir3382]

❤

[@aleciofv]

Admita, até o Dó de pedreiro do Mateus é diferente de todos os que vc ja ouviu! rsrs ele tem um algo a mais até nos mais simples acordes. é o que eu chamo de coração na ponta dos dedos. não é a quantidade, velocidade, nem o ego, é a sua verdade nas cordas. Poucos conseguem coloca a alma na ponta dos dedos e tocar um simples acorde como se fosse algo magico, sem o EU SOU. é mais algo do tipo, Ei esse acorde aqui é isso tudo e vc nunca percebeu, a musica é isso tudo, o instrumento é magico, e eu estou sendo a pecinha q liga o universo nesse negocio aqui. Resumindo o Jornal, ele tem a senha. Vc consegue ouvi-lo tocando parabéns p vc como se fosse a musica mais linda que ja existiu, acredito q é assim q ele imagina tb.

[@svjness]

27:23 its Instagram filters. Everyone uses the most nutty filter at first, but over time, you find out whats a subtle touch, and when its appropriate to use any at all

[@mentoriadigital5791]

Brazilian So Fun much

[@jeremylofipo8536]

[@regmonmusic]

🎹🎸❤👍🏽

[@terrylharris2802]

All i have to say is Damn, this dude is an alien!!

[@AlvianMarapu]

Playing gitar just like how we try to understand the mighty space..

[@dbedrin16]

I watched the video yesterday and there were tabs which I cannot find anymore today?! Is that the case?

[@rectifier808]

It would be awesome to know what the pedals and the recording chain are, anyone? This way UAD would take more customers interested in the tones from those pedals

[@UniversalAudio]

You can find more info about the UAFX pedals Mateus used in our blog: www.uaudio.com/blog/learn-how-to-create-compelling-cover-song/

[@thomasdipietra4433]

He is such a complete musician. Does anyone know what he is using to give him that beautiful stereo , reverb , delay sound?

[@UniversalAudio]

UAFX pedals. www.uaudio.com/guitar-pedals.html

[@bobbyarthur-yf3yf]

Haha ya uad hosted event and a full uad pedal board at his feet …

[@aeciolima2746]

[@daogah]

[@MatteoBiancoMusic]

A Musician! (with a capital M)

[@undertheglassmoon2239]
