Mateus Asato Song BREAKDOWN - "The Breakup Song" | Chords, Theory, Composition, & More!

[@ImpactedCanine]

Been playing guitar on and off my whole life, mostly off, and even though I don't know any music/guitar theory at all I was able to learn this entire piece thanks to your breakdown. I never ever thought I'd be able to play a Mateus-freaken-Asato song. Thank you so much!

[@DarrylSyms]

Yay you’re welcome dude! 💜

[@donfully]

not learning a song just yet but still sign in to give you a thumbs up. You're doing a community a great favor.

[@DarrylSyms]

Thanks man, I appreciate that! 💛

[@FluffyMusic]

I'm a luthier and also big fan of Mateus asato. Really like your lesson of him. Please keep continue the lesson of Mateus. Thanks!

[@andrevinicius137]

Dude congratulations, im from Brazil and i love what you're doing, you're such a talented guy and u have a great music comprehension. Thank you for sharing It with us

[@DarrylSyms]

Thanks brotha! You're very welcome! 🙂

[@sriveddatta8117]

Its like you read my mind. Exactly the song I've been listening to since a few days. Was trying to play it until I suddenly see you already nailed it. Thanks for sharing this. You are my true inspiration.

[@lancecass8997]

When I heard this song, thought , "I should learn that" then yesterday I saw you did a video of it. Awesome. Now this, so yes, It m learning it today. Thank you Daryll. And I love how you give your thought process, "and maybe the artists thoughts" as you go. It's an incredible process to help people understand transcribing and learning how chord shapes can help you find your way. Incredible.

[@DarrylSyms]

Thanks Lance! Best of luck!!

[@leonardoleal5092]

Yeah this guy's amazing! Thanks for posting this, such good, perfect cover of Mateus!! cheerss

[@elijahgomez3376]

Been kinda hooked on the song recently due to the melodicness (not a word) of it and it’s been really helpful to be able to learn it! Already almost got the it all down till it gets higher up the neck

[@visakonakhro1688]

My goodness even the slowed version confuses my head😭😭😭😭😭

[@adsvx]

You said "stay tuned" and you weren't kidding. Thanks, Darryl!

[@nksavio3099]

Thankyou Sir. After one week i practice, i can play it. Even not 100% exactly same... Thanks a lot sir... Respect and Love from indonesia. 🙏

[@DarrylSyms]

Keep it up!

[@keithwilliams8787]

Nothing much to say just thought this video deserved a comment for the algorithm

[@DarrylSyms]

Thank you 😍

[@mateochaves3094]

The video i have been waiting for

[@hmmethanol]

Thanks Darryl, you really helped and inspired me to study Asato's style! I remember watching his videos and be going "dis guy b nutz i'll stick to mindless shred" - now, my fingers are producing them! Not as Asatoful but hey hahah. Sticky Date Pudding too! Cheers mate.

[@DarrylSyms]

Aw thanks man! I appreciate your gratitude 🙂 You’re very welcome! I’m glad that I’m able to help 🙏

Buddy you have been my favorite guy in KZbin for one reason “Mateus asato”. Please do breakdown for “chords” too. Please.

[@DarrylSyms]

One day, I hope to be your favourite for being “Darryl Syms”, not “Mateus Asato” 🙂

[@davidsubba4432]

Darryl Syms you already are. My KZbin feed showers with only your posts. Thank you for being such inspiration. Love from tiny country Bhutan 🇧🇹

Thanks David 💛

[@visorsonly5251]

i fr love ur vids, especially the John Mayer ones lmao

[@rahulpai341]

Love your teaching style man! Thanks for taking the time out to run through the theory as well. Much appreciated! Also, that is a beautiful guitar. What's the story behind the signatures and doodles on it?

[@DarrylSyms]

The story is that famous guitar players came to my hometown, played a show, I partied with a couple of ‘em, and they scribbled on my guitar 😋

[@chrohm]

you're the man, great lesson and thanks for the added info - it's really what we all need

[@DarrylSyms]

Happy to help!

[@ChachiImmensity]

Thanks for sharing Darryl, it's a great lesson! I was wondering if you could do a breakdown lesson for Mateus's cover "You'll be in my heart". But as always you're awesome, thank you so much!

[@agelessstudio]

Niceeee , i practice 2 weeks for this song

Hi man love your videos! Do you mind sharing the tone? it is so beautiful to hear. I'm really tempting to use it! Cheers mate!

[@DarrylSyms]

You can search for my name on the BIAS FX 2 tone cloud to find my tones 👌

[@abikyoukan2]

i have no words. guess i wont sleep tonight.

[@DarrylSyms]

Woah that was QUICK! Haha - enjoy! ✌️

[@abikyoukan2]

@@DarrylSyms one year after this comment I actually managed to finally play this properly. kept it on my backlog and now during this quarantine decided to master this one and a few Polyphia songs, thank you once again for this tutorial.

[@inigominana8886]

Do this on Chords-Mateus asato!!

[@er.kamleshlal6690]

Do make a lesson on *God bless the broken road intro*

[@shaunbaker4018]

can you do any srv style lead vids man ? big hello from plymouth btw :)

[@jamiew4851]

Very nice tutorial !!! I have some questions about the chord in order to learn the progression like 9:15 I start get lost what is the chord of this ascending chord. Might help if can keep mentioning the chords like the beginning !

[@narusitnaubol9320]

Thank you.

[@erictungoe7834]

Great video! What settings did you have for that tone? sounds great!

[@DarrylSyms]

Pretty sure it's just one of my BIAS FX 2 patches available on their cloud :) Thanks!

[@bacceb9009]

Nice!!!

[@Spoilnins]

Can you offer one time purchases for tabs pls sir

[@ThatMemoChris]

Hey, just wondering if you could video a lesson of Mateus Asato’s - How Great Thou Art? it’s an acoustic version he put on IG

[@tombruzo1494]

how to get that tone?! solid

[@easemydivinity7393]

how can e be the tonic if the key is g# u also mention once that it's the 6th chord ( u say E is tonal center several times) great lesson but that got me kinda confused :D

[@DarrylSyms]

I don’t remember what I said here but it’s possible that I said the 6 has “tonic function” - as in, two of its three notes also exist in the root chord (the real tonic) 😎 👌 It would appear that I’m simplifying terms to accommodate for the mass of beginner/intermediate folks. But yes technically the VI would be of submediant function. I’m actually creating an entire Masterclass about harmony which will be available soon on Fretwise - maybe you’ll enjoy that 😎

[@ruan_santos_1886]

Obrigado ❤

[@BeefNEggs057]

Very nice! Thank you for putting in the time on this one! Here come the Tab babies crying for their spoon feeding 😂

[@musicshallsetyoufree6253]

Can we use a pick and get that same feeling, or could you please suggest?

[@DarrylSyms]

A pick works, but fingers have a totally different dynamic

[@MagdaNguyen]

Thank you for this. Just one note, i don’t know about you but i think you’re going through the song way too fast!

[@DarrylSyms]

Thanks! Sorry I can't accommodate for everyone's pace, I try to direct my pace to intermediate players. I hope you managed to keep up even if it was a little fast for you 🙌

I cant keep up when you show something Im trying to do that and after 2 seconds your 4 bars in the next part

[@DarrylSyms]

Sorry but this was intended for intermediate/advanced players. Maybe you’re punching above your weight, which is great (challenges are always important), but you’re gonna need to use additional tools like tabs or KZbins speed tool to help you with some of the faster parts 🙏

[@prayashkerung]

Please can you make theory concepts of grito mudo by mateusXsandy.

[@bolaroberts]

Asato for me always sounds like the same thing, if you play your songs together in a playlist you will never know when one starts and the other ends.

[@DarrylSyms]

I understand why one might think this with some of his stuff, particularly his music that has a lot of chord modulation, but that’s his Jazz side 💁‍♂️ I think there are golden ideas in a lot of his music, even if it’s just a few seconds worth that we can implement into our own playing 🙂

[@DarrylSyms]

Liked this video? Here's another video of mine where I share some really DOPE lead improvisation from Mateus: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nILNeqenprutpZo 🙌 Also, here's my cover of this song without all of the chit chat for those of you who want a more straight forward look at my fingers: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKq6pJyobtaJbK8
