You will learn how to cover (or arrange) any song in the style of Mateus Asato! When creating song arrangements in this style, we will need to use a mixture of tools and techniques such as: double stops, triads, and chord embellishments. You'll need a good ear to be able to combine the melody and harmony, but with practice, and following the tips and tricks that I share in this video, you will be able to do it soon enough! 🙂

ABOUT ME
﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋
Hey! My name is Darryl Syms, and uh, well, I play guitar! I mean, I do a bunch of other cool things too - hopefully you can get to know me a little bit more through some of my videos.
On this channel, I predominantly post instructional videos to help inspire and encourage like-minded guitar players. My goal is to help you expand your musical vocabulary, to broaden your understanding of music, and to entertain. There are already thousands of guitar related videos out there, but I try to set my videos apart from the usual by exploring a modern approach, and by simply being myself! 💁♂️
Other than music, I have many other passions such as surfing, snowboarding, nutrition, advocating a vegan and sustainable lifestyle, yoga, photography, and a mixture of other things. Maybe you're interested in checking out my website: www.darrylsyms.com ✌️
I hope you enjoy what I have to offer, and I look forward to growing as a musician with you!
Thanks so much for reading! 💜

[@reinhardimanuel2959]

Subscribed! Do more tutorial of his playing please? Thanks!

[@gaelestevez1355]

Thnaks bro!... Mateus Asato is for me one of the best guitar players out there now, and there's no much info about his technique, Tone, Melodies and vision to play songs, he's just original and amazing (my opinion), and is almost impossible to find online, people that dares to explain his technique, for that i'm super thankful!!! Keep the good work!

[@DarrylSyms]

I'm glad you enjoy Gael! :)

[@gaelestevez1355]

Bro, Listen to this patch in Mateus Asato Style i made for my AX8. Hope you like it. axechange.fractalaudio.com/detail.php?preset=6164

Asato is overrated. But he was good to show that with simple things you can make funny / good music.

You won't regret it :D

[@sammydodgers121]

Darryl Syms I have no doubt. Checking out your courses as we speak. I'm an advanced keyboard player and intermediate guitar player, hoping to find something helpful in one of your courses.

[@DarrylSyms]

I hope so! If you want reassurance, you get a 30 day guarantee if you don't like it, plus if you actually PM me your feedback then I am more than happy to update and upgrade the content to suit your needs 👍🙌🎉

[@sammydodgers121]

Darryl Syms Where can I email you questions about the course before buying. Just want to see if it has what I need. I already bought another course on udemy (not yours) and I stopped halfway because its boring me to death!

Thanks man. Killer lesson. Keep doing what you’re doing

[@DarrylSyms]

You're welcome! :)

[@BrunoKrnetic]

You’re such a great player and teacher. Your hollistic approach puts everything on the next level. Btw I’d never believe it’s possibls to get such tone from that guitar. Is that classic ibanez or pickups were replaced?

[@DarrylSyms]

Thanks man! Yeah I love the sound of my Ibanez. The pickups were replaced to a set of DiMarzio's but it's almost a "classic" Ibanez

[@rajeshrj6486]

Hai bro i now understand he uses more triads please do any other song in the style of mateus asato it will help more

[@KillBill2114]

were you raised in a bilingual home? Where they spoke both english and guitar? One of my eyes is pointing outwards trying to comprehend these explanations.

[@DarrylSyms]

Hahaha, unfortunately not. I hope you can figure it out! Otherwise shout out your questions and I'll do my best to help!

[@dogewow757]

Dude I just found your videos and I love them my guy!!... yo there’s this guy named Justice Der who does jazz style instrumental covers of songs and it’s roughly the same concept that you covered in this video but I was wondering if you could do a video on his style of play?!? Please!!!

[@DarrylSyms]

Thanks! I'll take a look

[@dylandellicolli8243]

I will be unbelievably happy if you make this video

[@tiki9er111]

ooops lol cool vid man..

[@crisepuyao7722]

You are the best dude!!! I really love your guitar, is that a Genesis model?

[@DarrylSyms]

Thanks! Nah just an old RG350M. I've got a whole video on it and how it's been modified :)

[@crisepuyao7722]

@@DarrylSyms seen few days ago, Thank you so much, I have learned a lot from you these last few weeks. Fell in love with the Dimarzio Cruiser. Thanks a lot my friend! =D

[@tp6ej04m3music]

I think D7sus2 should be much properly taken as IVm of E key. That is Am, and just because its root is on D, so it should be known as Am/D.

[@DarrylSyms]

Interesting point

[@NicolasJohnElder]

My thoughts exactly! Great vid :)

[@ChiefRager]

Does that change the chord figuration, or just the name?

[@DarrylSyms]

Neither, both are correct, it's just an alternative perception of the same chord

[@giftp210]

Great stuff 💙Bro what's the exact model of your neck pickup? It sounds amazing!

[@DarrylSyms]

Thanks! DiMarzio Cruiser Neck

[@ridhowiranatakusumah6531]

Its hard

[@flamecrew9atroblox958]

But how do you find the chords in the song? And find the base and the harmony.? I would love a more in-depth version of this :). This stuff interests me,

[@7amdiz50]

How is your tone set up in Bias FX 2? is it a basic preset? Can you share your tone setup in Bias please

[@DarrylSyms]

You’ll see if you look for my tones on the tone cloud 👍

[@kjareola5]

what guitar effect or set up of mateus like what you're using right now?

[@DarrylSyms]

Watch my latest video

[@DuyatBui-ow5eb]

Thanks bro!!! Had subcribed!!! One more thing, can you give me just a tab in 4:58 - 5:00, i can't do it exactly even in 0.5 slowly By the way, you did very extra good, keep going on :^^

[@DarrylSyms]

Thanks! It's just a barre on the 7 with the melody on the high E going 9/10 9, then a B triad, then an A triad. Good luck!

[@GuitarMits]

sabe no brasil quando um chines vende pastel e fica conversando em chines na sua frente? nao sente aquela vontade de ir na china vender pastel e falar em portugues na frente deles ? kkk é mais ou menos assim que me sinto quando vejo esse tipo de video, mas na verdade é um tipo de orgulho e honra, por que nós do brasil, constantemente ficamos tentando aprender o jeito de algum guitarrista gringo, e hoje, os gringos tiram as musicas de um brasileiro. Amo muito esse tipo de coisa, podemos mostrar que nem tudo na musica é ingles ou americano, apesar das influencias e do estudo dele serem fontes gringas, ainda sim seu esforço é Brasileiro.

[@RVGamer]

Gostei do exemplo do chines kkkkk É tipo isso mesmo

[@tioaja6531]

I have ibanez like that but the sound not clean like yours. What effec did you use?

[@DarrylSyms]

Practice

[@tristan_840]

Basically, fingerstyle but with a little bit of modifications on electric guitar.

[@Guitarista1992]

Can I get a heart from you? Please.

[@DarrylSyms]

Of course 💛😉

hey what's the song in the outro?? it's so beautiful!

[@DarrylSyms]

It's an old demo of mine. I'll turn it into a song sometime soon :)

[@memorablejeans]

Darryl Syms please do it sounds so heavenly😍

[@William5835]

what about rhythm ? play in time or no? couse I think ''don't dream it's over'' is not played ''in time''

[@DarrylSyms]

Play with your ear 👍

[@planetside11]

With all my heart, I wish my left thumb was long enough to fret a bass note and still play cleanly on the top. My thumb is just not long enough.

[@di9560]

Can you arrange heartless by Kanye west in this manner ?

[@SIKE_AU]

Really!? How do 5 people manage to miss the like button? It’s not that hard... Loved the video Darryl

[@DarrylSyms]

They got over-excited I think!

Where are you from?

[@DarrylSyms]

From the UK, living in Australia atm

[@arialieangami8068]

Is that Paul Gilbert's autograph on your guitar?

[@DarrylSyms]

Yup

[@arialieangami8068]

Cool!!!

[@DarrylSyms]

Very cool! 😄

[@pedroguimaraesguitar]

Very cool lesson! I love Mateus Asato’s playing style. Your guitar is slightly out of tune, in some of the chords it hurts a little bit xD maybe check your intonation setup. Cheers

[@DarrylSyms]

I removed the clip at the beginning of the video where I mentioned that my tuning is INTENTIONALLY flat at the beginning of the video, because the original Boys II Men song is also FLAT. I removed this clip because the beginning section was only intended for demonstration, I didn't expect anyone to really notice or care because it is in tune relative to the song, but perhaps I should have kept it in to be more clear! :)

[@missflowrota9223]

Chibanez

[@DarrylSyms]

As in “Chi Energy”?

[@missflowrota9223]

Darryl Syms no I’m just jealous of your guitar. So I called it a Chinese knock off ibanez 😂 I’m kidding I really liked your video it was very good and we can all use this and put it into practice. Please make more

[@DarrylSyms]

Oh 😂

[@Derekjcb]

Do you have tabs for this song

[@DarrylSyms]

Read the description man

[@andrewlee3292]

I wish this just titled Mateus Asato On Bended Knee Tutorial. It's a good tutorial but you didn't explain at all the thought process of how and when to mix melody and chords like Mateus for any song, this tutorial is specific to On Bended Knee

[@DarrylSyms]

I did though? And I need to use a song to demonstrate how he does it, hence why I chose ‘On Bender Knee’?

[@tiki9er111]

lol

[@DarrylSyms]

lol l /\

[@fearbabyriffs]

No offense but people should check out Tuck Andress before Mateus Asato. Great tutorial though.

[@DarrylSyms]

No offence taken, though I don’t think it’s fair to recommend checking out someone “before” checking out someone as if they’re their Dad or something. I will certainly check him out though ✌️

[@capsuleboy]

I dont understand Mateus Asato interest in the new produced bands with puppet musicians and singers, which basically borrow from here and there and dont invent anything. If he got his ideas from music from the 70s and 80s he would have more chances to be in contact with real authors and real musicians. my opinion

[@DarrylSyms]

I disagree, I mean after all - it's called "Pop Music" for a reason. Because it's popular. The majority don't listen to Jazz music, even though it's the most technically advanced and unique. Pop Music is among the catchiest kind, despite it being "borrowed" and almost "un-original". Everyone has their own taste though huh :)

[@noahfickel]

If he got his ideas from the older generation, he wouldn’t be who he is today. People like him because of his unique new spin on “puppet musician’s songs.”

[@rickneibauer1]

Love it, but tuning :-(

[@christineblack4654]

yaya he is very good BUT does he rock out? let's not get boring and make fall a sleep music. You are wayyyy to good to go that root. I mean Lenny Breau was the best and you could study him all you want but was he rich like Jimmy Page? I say get a band and get out on stage, the world needs it :) I want to see YOU be huge like Keith Richards! yes! you can do it Darryl ;)
