How to Improvise Without Overthinking (feat. Mateus Asato)

[@MateusAsato]

Nahre - you’re by far the sweetest person I’ve had the pleasure to meet in this industry. Thank you so much for the greatest & most peaceful time we had at Universal Audio. I had lots of fun and felt so comfortable to share a little of my experience over these years about my music journey. You are an outstanding artist who I had the honor to spend some hours playing music with. I deeply appreciate all the words you said on this video about myself. You are one of a kind. You’ve got an eternal fan and a friend. Best, Mateus.

Right?? I was thinking just that

[@gigogigoaelo3098]

She must be an angel.

[@leansama9172]

She’s asking all the right questions, and she’s not even a guitar player!!! Most helpful Mateus asato interview I’ve ever seen

[@WDSCRNRAD]

💯 agree

[@Shroomsblues25]

I was also thinking the same👌

[@Enryu_CZX]

She's asking the exact questions that i was hoping they would ask in all of mateus asato interviews

[@gloerp]

All possible questions I could've had regarding Mateus Asato's playing have been posed to the aforementioned artist and ofcourse thoroughly answered, whereas in other videos a lack of capacity and creativity has been noticed, I'm not implying the ones asked by s certain R.B.

[@wabwabb8798]

I think she has the same pace as Mateus Asato. She listened to his answers well, then gave him time to explain things in his mind, and asked the right continuative questions. Very good interviewer.

[@moaykmedia]

a wise man once said, the magic you are looking for is on the work you are avoiding. Memorize the fretboard.

[@francesschaefer]

Whoa great

[@stevencorley3296]

How does memorizing the fretboard work out for you with alternate tunings? But you've never used alternate tunings, have you? I like the wise man quote.

[@monitorlizard9971]

Guitar player here. I dont think ive ever heard 1 single clip of mateus that didnt feel like I was listening to a masterpiece. his slides slurs and use of triads is what I use the most when I play. watching mateus completely changed me from just a shred guy who wants to play neo classic licks and arpeggios all day to being a more mature, MUSICAL player. Like I used to think double stops and pentatonic sounds were lame and boomer until I heard mateus use this so often in his beautiful playing. yngwie is still king but mateus never has a clip that doesnt fill me with inspiration. I could literally listen to him play all day and every second feels completely brand new.

[@donald-parker]

It's the difference between serving the music/song vs using the song as a vehicle to demonstrate technique. His style is worlds apart from Kark Knopfler but similar in a way that they both focus on serving the song, and they both let the beautiful sound of the guitar speak without being buried in effects and distortion. Their guitars "speak" and "tell stories". I contrast this with Malmstein, who obviously has killer technique but rarely lets the beauty of a simple melody surface. Or (flame retardant on) Gilmor who rarely plays anything but simple pentatonic boxes but has a huge arena sized sound with echoes, chorus, reverb etc. I wonder what old Dave would sound like if he tried to play the same simple stripped down stuff that Mateus was playing in this vid.

[@iridescent9667]

You forgot the SUHR's...

[@monitorlizard9971]

@@donald-parker I have to disagree. Gilmore is one of the most emotional players his use of pentatonics I dont even think he is conscious of scales. Some of gilmores solos are still to this day amongst the best most feel good sounds. You literally couldnt write a better or change any of gilmores solos. It is impossible to even improve his solos imo. And for malmsteen, his melodies is what I like the most tbh. His feel and vibrato is still to this day so spectacular. I think what people get wrong about malmsteen is they think hes just running through phrygian or harmonic minor licks. And that is trrue technically but the USE of his runs are so fantastically placed. Also, he is heavily influenced by bach and paganini. Saying a neo classical player is shit because they play scales is sort of closed minded imo. I still take classical pieces and rip them up to be more "metal" and it is the gift that keeps on giving. Some people ask how did i write this its so sick, thinking im a metal shred guy and im like yeah dude that riff is bach. I know it doesnt sound like it anymore. But it is. Ive written entire pieces where i was using bach or vivaldi to try to mimic an exact run and turn it into something else.

[@donald-parker]

@@monitorlizard9971 To each his own. I've been playing for 50+ years and I'm sure the way I listen to guitar is very different than many. One of the big things for me is predictability vs surprise. I could pretty much play a Gilmor solo note for note after a listen or two - no surprises and very predictable. It doesn't mean it's bad or not emotional. God knows the arts (movies, paintings, books, and music) have portrayed emotions very deeply while still using common and predictable themes for centuries. But if it does not surprise me in some way, it will never delight me the same way as hearing a line that makes me think "wow! I would never have done that". Not dissing Gilmor in any way. But he doesn't surprise or delight me. And that's on me.

[@monitorlizard9971]

@@donald-parker well im 39 started playing in bands at around 19 and took lessons. Tbh with you, i used to not care for gilmore solos. Because thats "too ez" is it though? Older in my age ive been growing fonder and fonder of musicians I did always like but now am able to hear such nuance and play with nuance that I feel like I am never done learning even things I learned decades ago. I also just refuse to believe say or hear anything negative about some artists. Ive played and seen so many players and gilmores playing always screams legendary to me. Like I hear it immediately. Idk. My original teacher studied at berklees played with paul gilbert. He taught me a lot of yngwie, not because that was his thing but because I wanted to learn it. Thats how good he was. Then he would bust out a classical and play flemenco with perfect tremele and everything. So my point, Even then a lot of great players when you hear them play their sound isnt quite legend, like some legends. I would classify gilmore as a legend, for sure. He doesnt play perfect tremelo on classical or have yngwie chops but as soon as you hear it you know its something great. I also follow, if u look at my channel under guitar learn, many great players and teachers ect. And none of them are as legend as gil or yng. Imo.

[@DucaTambasco]

for me, as a mateus's friend since he was around 10 years old, seeing him enthrall the world fills me with pride, especially for the affection he always had/has with me, never letting success separate us ❣️

[@Dolphinado]

This is kinda wild for me as a guitarist who came to your channel to learn more about your approach to piano playing and composition - it’s come full circle! I for one would love to watch your journey if you decide to pick up guitar too - I feel like your piano style could inform your potential guitar playing in so many cool ways.

[@NahreSol]

Thank you so much… that is pretty wild 😄

[@michaelbishop.]

“First person to do a cover with and a cover period”? Isn’t that the definition of playing classical music, centuries of covers?🙂

[@NahreSol]

If you look at it that way yes 😂

[@superblondeDotOrg]

Yes. Classical musicians are cover artists and all Orchestras are cover bands. Often with poor musical interpretations.

[@The8BitPianist]

"The guitar as digested by a classical pianists" sounds like a great video title if you ask me!

id lovw to see that video!!!!!!the guitar is like 6 mini microtonal pianos, ive the black notes drawn on my frets to learn piano and it made me SM better at both

[@henry247]

@@minyaminilla Not microtonal

[@LightsOnTrees]

a lot of guitarists speak about the fretboard being a maze, that you slowly find different routes through, and what is really compelling for me about learning from other guitarists, is that it can feel like there almost playing a different instrument because of how they navigate.

[@alaindavidson7818]

As a student of these 2 instruments, but more of a beginner on the piano than on the guitar for several decades, I find that these learning worlds are opposed to each other. Piano requires a great deal of hand independence, whereas guitar requires good synchronization. That's why I feel that these are 2 worlds that require an effort to evolve and learn in opposite directions. Open chords on the guitar contain chord voicings in which no fingers are placed on any of the instrument's 6 strings (something that doesn't exist on the piano). This allows the guitar to offer its full resonance to the instrument, often resulting in a sound rich in harmonics. Big fan of both of you 😊

[@chrislandry5797]

Try fingerpicking ragtimey on a guitar.

[@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.

[@Iramek]

I love she even tab it with notations

[@AlessandroColonnese]

As a guitarist, this video was amazing. Thanks for interviewing Mateus on your channel, he's really one of the best!

[@lamontprospect9974]

The most incredible thing is that he is so humble. It's unbelievable. There's no ego in him. 🙏🕊️❤️

[@Ron-rl4dq]

From this conversation we can observe that He has a deep knowledge of fretboard and CAGED system. That way he can play and experiment the melodies, shapes chords, voicings and fills in different positions along the neck. And he combines all this theoretic and applied knowledge with tastefull sense.

[@HerrPapa]

9:00 Nahre seems to get it exaclty right. Mateus talks about "fills", but in reality, he adds "feels"! 🥰

[@stratfanstl]

Nahre, this is a very good content format for you (and any guest you'd have). It is fascinating to see how people so talented on a particular instrument explain their process of music around the unique capabilities / limitations of their instrument to someone else on a different instrument. It allows people to see more layers of subtlety in not only the writing of music but the performance as well.

[@gregorystewart1837]

Thank you for pulling that out of him! Some experts become so knowledgeable that it just flows and they don’t think about how it comes together anymore. You’re a talented educator

[@MrFrenchHarp]

Jimi liked to play the arpeggio of the notes in each chord and would make them into more interesting complex chordal variations. It might be a G major but end up inflecting a G4, G6, G9, G7, etc or some 2nd 3rd inversion. One of the beautiful things about how he approached each separate chord and how he used that approach to transition into the next was so Jimi. ❤

[@timsellsted521]

Great interview Nahre! Mateus is amazing....and I like how you had him walk through his method. YES. Learn the guitar. That could be a separate YT channel Nahre learns guitar.

[@splashesin8]

Love that you two are collaborating! I took up guitar later, and at some point picked it up again, with the idea of letting it just be for my own comfort, with no rules or demands from myself. It has been so enriching for me, as a soothing thing. The inadvertent plus, is that now every time I play it big leaps in progress happen and my brain has this new mesh of wiring interconnections that I was never sure that it would ever get to. When I'm unable to let myself take the time to do anything else, playing my guitar has become my number one self care allowance. Letting myself have that time, to do whatever I feel. Sending you all the vibes for comfort, fun, and joy❣️🤗✨✨✨🌸

[@NahreSol]

Thank you!! And for sharing your experience!!

[@monitorlizard9971]

same as me. I reached burn out because all I tried to do is play dream theatre and yngwie solos. Took a HUUUUGE long break, like a decade. come back and it took a while but my playing is so much more mature and beautiful, and musical. and I credit it to all the new players who keep it fresh like I am loving these neo soul players who just forced me to settle down, dont stress, SLOOOOW DOWN to one single note if you gotta, and just make the good sounds. the stress of being the best, or technically outstanding or impressive just made me grow gray hairs in my teens. Learning to just live and enjoy the instrument and the music is another inspiration. Listening to mateus helps me a lot to remember this.

[@storytimesongs1]

Wow. This is the video is EXACTLY what I’ve been searching for over the past couple of years. I’ve scoured the ends of the internet to learn how to write melodic riffs that seamlessly blend bass, chords, and melody into one guitar part. I’ve pieced together a lot of the stuff Mateus mentioned over time, but I picked up most of the remaining missing pieces in this video. Thank you so much for making this! I would’ve loved to hear him explain some of his choices for what he played at 9:34, particularly when he sprinkled in those triads to harmonize the melody.

[@joeschmeaux]

1. Yes, I'd like to hear you learn guitar! You're so talented and accomplished, I'm sure you'd be good at playing any instrument! Guitar is like piano in that you can play multiple voices with it. Learning its different layout of six strings tuned mostly in fourths (and its flexibility of using different tunings) will positively affect your already wonderful piano playing! 2. I'm glad you're again making videos after losing your father. I'm still sending you healing vibes.

[@kaitlyn__L]

They both enhance each other in so many ways, both being 12TET instruments. I did guitar before keys, but I didn’t understand _why_ it was tuned in (mostly) fourths until I learned keys. Once I learned keys it became _immediately apparent_ that fourths tuning is the best compromise, and that tuning in thirds or fifths would require really difficult fingering!!

[@barakados]

How much (Infinite) talent between this two tremendous musician. 🙏

[@bikashtangha7904]

Crazy work on the editing Nahre. The way you interpreted the chords he played is as if you were a master at guitar yourself.

Another vote for you learning guitar! I am intrigued to see what learning a new instrument looks like for someone who is already so advanced and fluent on another. Greatly enjoyed this interview! Would enjoy more collabs in the future as well :)

[@baldbearded9601]

This is a very valuable interview as an educational piece.. I love that she really wants to understand his process for creating such amazing original melodies out of common arrangements. Thank you very much for doing this interview! I've been a huge fan of Mateus for 7-8 years and he has such a unique approach to building melodies.. it's nice to see another accomplished artist pick his brain! Thank you

[@apid4075]

This is just great! I was and still am struggling with improvisation, many years now. What you guys discussed here beautifully arcs above the art of improvisations and explains it without going into unnecessary details involving chords, progression, scales and myriad of other topics.

[@adityamaanas9470]

Amazing content! Came for Mateus and the amazing topic of discussion, and subbed for the super insightful and relatable thought process/questions. This entire discussion made me go "OMG YES THAT", "OH THAT'S SO COOL??", "Oh wow, that's very interesting, that's definitely something that's clarified a lot of connections for me!", which is exactly what I hope to get from these kinds of discussions. Loved the video :)

[@joy7367]

i really liked the questions you asked, i'm not at that level of skill or knowledge but i play the piano, classically trained and it's the type of explanation that really makes the process of improvising much more approachable to me! also, i've just started trying to teach myself guitar and it would be personally enjoyable and interesting to see how another pianist gets on with it!

[@davidespinosa1910]

At 1:50, Matteo plays the melody to "How Deep Is Your Love". Then he adds the harmony. Any decent pianist can do this. Basically, NO GUITARIST can do it. That's why Matteo is so amazing -- because he plays guitar at the level of an intermediate pianist.

[@matthews.9343]

[@AimanRahmad]

I always feel that Mateus wants to show us that kind of “motivation” like “okay this is how i entertained you, so you can also do it in your own way”. You better take up your guitar and play it when you feel like there is no hope to continue it. Pure motivation.

[@8Phoenix8]

This reminds me of when I play the drums. I start with a base rhythm but then I add tiny fills to personalize it. I do this for Cello too :) I love this video.

First time to this channel......she is WONDERFUL (great energy!). And he......phenomenal....the TONE!

[@davidsevenbros3065]

A truly excellent interview that can be appreciated by guitarists at any level of their learning. Mateus flew under my radar until I saw him on Rick Beato's channel and was immediately smitten. He combines playing finesse with pure musical innovation, and understands that melody is key, and whatever is added should inform the melody. He does that in spades with an unforced naturalness that is amazing to watch and hear. One can't help but smile hearing and seeing him play.

[@sirmrs6952]

Nahre this video is incredible. The questions and break down of what Mateus is demonstrating is perfect. Please post more of interviews! Thank you again!

[@techsquirrel]

Nahre, great interview! Amazing to see staff and tablature at the same time Mateus is playing!! Thank you very kindly for that. I deeply appreciate the way you and Mateus looked into the levels of improvisation and creativity based on the levels of knowledge of the rhythm, melody, chord changes, and the use of those elements on the range of the fretboard (and piano!).

[@musichomework2]

Yes learn guitar Nahre! Your piano and classical music theories is what inspired me to learn a musical instrument. I started by learning guitar because I felt it was a more "portable version" of a piano. To this day, my guitar playing is still influenced by what I learn from piano players. See you learn guitar would be so inspiring!

[@garythebard]

Yes! You should definitely explore the guitar! At your level of piano playing and musicianship, I think you will find it immensely mentally stimulating, challenging, and inspiring. As a self taught composer, I used to think piano was the ultimate compositional instrument, and in many ways I still feel that. However somewhere around the 13-14 year mark of my musical journey, I really fell in love with the guitar. It has very unique properties in the way that it's laid out and is an immensely powerful, highly dynamic instrument, plus it's portable!!! Hope you get the chance to explore that beautiful instrument and share your experience with it with the world. Keep up the fantastic work Nahre!

A music podcaster named Kirk Hamilton (Strong Songs) did what you suggested. He's a jazz sax guy but has taken lessons on guitar, drums, and voice which helps him analyze and explain what musicians on those instruments are doing. As a piano/trumpet player I appreciate his descriptions of why this song works on guitar specifically. Whether it's worth learning it yourself to be able to explain it, no idea. One of these days I'm going to learn guitar and sax.

[@TLMuse]

I've seen much longer interviews with Mateus that didn't provide half of the insight that this one has. So well done, Nahre. And I think the obvious mutual admiration between the two of you helped make this interview be so musically revealing. And by the way, I enjoyed the whimsical element to the animations, which reminded me of the animations that were so common in the early days of your KZbin channel (yes, I've been watching since then!). -Tom
