[@pyschointellectual]

He is not just another shredder, he actully has something original and melodic to say.

[@junhoarmando1955]

Do you think touching hair many times still masculine? I see it so weird. More than girls do..

[@tonyrapa-tonyrapa]

How can you not love this guy... bravo!

[@matthewchunk3689]

He's a sweetie.

[@ayushmanbhalla8737]

mateus is love..

[@caprise-music6722]

It’s not that hard actually

[@dennislorenzzo]

Mateuzinho é gente fina demais

[@Marcus_C51]

Every time I hear him play it's always a joyful vibe, it's really enchanting. His whole heart goes into it, love it!

[@garywaddell6309]

How can such a talented guy be so modest, he is simply one of the best

[@thatmountain]

If I could ever learn this opening lick I would be satisfied with my guitar playing for life.

[@TerigulaChaos]

you would not; nobody ever is

[@WassimElSabeh]

​@@TerigulaChaostruth 😂😢😂😅

[@Reverieeeee]

I wished something similar more than a decade ago. After I learned the guitar intro I wanted, I became dissatisfied again. 😂😂 So, it's a NO for me 😂

[@oluwatobiadegoke13]

I usually have such feelings, but immediately I get it. I'll move on to another challenge and end up with I started.

[@wiguelharo]

2:05 this for myself, for the future myself that will comeback to this video to smile while watching Mateus doing beautiful things

[@jplee3]

The video starts out with him posing a hypothetical music theory question, answers it initially with "I don't know..." and tells the viewers [in his own words] that "this isn't going to be very good", and then proceeds to ascend all guitar IQ on the fly. This guy is literally my guitar hero.

[@davidsummerville351]

I'm loving these interviews! Fun to hear him on Rick's guitar. Thanks 😎🤓

[@andredeoli9079]

I really enjoy watching him play, the way he plays things that are difficult and makes them seem so easy to do. I hope he lives a long and blessed life.

[@TobyKBTY]

I don't care about this current age of Instagram neo-soul guitar wannabes, BUT Mateus' style is still so beautiful and smooth and pleasant and melodic. He's definitely in a league of his own. His style always inspires me to explore more melodies and chordwork, but sounding like him is definitely a challenge.

[@tempuramonster]

"Instagram neo-soul guitar wannabes" is the new Wonderwall guy.

[@AlainMichaelNinoDequina]

amen brother 🙂

[@newrobert6861]

Rick smiling and enjoying 😄. Loved it

[@leonardomou]

I'm very proud to have a great Brazilian guitarist like Assato worldwide recognized !! Bravo Asato!!

[@safiramusica]

Kiko e muito reconhecido mundo afora, tambem.

[@MattLong101]

The smile on rick's face is amazing

[@theogdw1]

Saw Mateus live at Silk Sonic's opening weekend and his solo leading into Blast Off was INSANE. I wish there was a video somewhere

[@guilhermed3122]

Vc arrasa, mano. Seu sucesso me deixa muito feliz! Thank you, Rick!

[@BerndThomasSchuller]

Amazing, totally unique player, and a very likable human being.

[@stillnessinmovement]

this is lovely interview you get a real feeling of who MA is, and how he got to play like this...

[@gabor.kovacs]

Wow, Mateus my favourite for a while now, his taste, his feel is soo good, like the most comfortable feeling ever. He's got an old soul, but a young mind, and these two together some kind of magic.

[@Marcus_C51]

An old soul but a young mind, a nice description of him. His taste and feel is out of this world with so much joy radiating. That magic of his is sublime yes!

[@user-pc2xd7ge6n]

love this guy! He is taking so much fun from what he is doing! Pure joy!

[@FabrizioCalderara76]

He's simply fantastic!

[@ClockworkDave]

Thanks for this! I'm glad he admitted that the double-stops are tough as he makes them look worryingly easy.

[@kristiancaddigans8391]

Just love this guy. He brings something new to the guitar. He takes what jimi did and hes taken it further along down the road.

[@OmarPerez-ml8dg]

what a sound man i would relax all day with that tone.

[@venomdust1]

First time I have heard his music . Will look for more . Real cool guy great interview🤘

[@T.B0ne]

So good, Rick you are the Man, you guy's are all so humble...

[@spanqueluv9er]

^*guys, not guy’s🤷‍♂️

[@cmonsterz]

Thoroughly enjoyable video, Rick! As an older player, I went back to 09s probably two years ago (I started having joint and arthritis issues). I needed to not “overwork” my hands. Originally, I thought that my tone would become too thin or brittle. However, I was rapidly reminded that tone knobs and equalizers are magnificent things. Not only did my tone not suffer, I prefer it to when I played 10s.

[@0scill8r]

what a gem of a video. that first thing he did in the beginning was actually awesome. kind of like putting using all 6 strings for something and forcing polyphony

[@marcomazotti]

Great interview. Your chanel become a fix point on my week. rockON Rick!

[@francisnieto9765]

His acoustics are particularly my favourite..clean arrangement

[@joaopedroferreiraribeiro1732]

The best thing is that he’s amazing from clean acoustic guitar all the way to very distorted solos/riffs. Mateus is exquisitely complete

[@bryceoconnor3927]

I can't get enough of his playing. He has such a amazingly musical approach to his phrasing!

[@SonicWanderer5]

Absolutely love how he plays!

[@HenryMittnacht]

Can´t wait to see him next Saturday joining his Masterclass on the Guitar Summit in Mannheim/Germany

[@atquinn1975]

What an incredible player!

[@PedroPrando]

Rick is such a humble guy, Man!! That smile while watch Mateus playing!!🙌🏻🤘🏻🖤

[@jordanols]

He's such a beast on the guitar!

[@CalebGrundyson]

This is making me want to buy the Rick Beato guitar! Looks so good

[@alcazarguitar]

He loves to play. That's all he cares about - goals :)

[@Positivedistractions]

Love watching this guy what a treat

[@ayushmanbhalla8737]

this guy is love.....

[@stefanoviolamusic]

Always been fascinated by Mateus’ style, hope to incorporate a little bit of his magic in my music in the future!

[@svbarr]

Throwback the double stop thing so much reminds me of Western Swing Jazzy stuff....

[@jhesbol]

The guy is magic!

[@thesaintscorner4490]

Fenomeno

[@guntursulistianataadiprase3611]

He said . Im so nervous right now ! Cmon mannn that was cool !!!!

[@murdechoc]

One of my favorite guitar players !

[@moheartskay]

Seeing Rick Beato watch Mateus Asato sharing his guitar style while playing it in Rick's signature guitar that is currently at a $2K is something we don't see everyday!

[@bluesball]

Um dos mais brabo que tem...

[@guitarplayerstowohio]

I hope this guy puts out an instrumental guitar album. He, like Matteo Mancuso, gives me hope that some young players will not let the art of guitar playing fade away. Incredible talent and very humble.

[@orafael.coelho]

He is talking about the most influential musician in Brazil for the last 20 years, Juninho Afram. Nobody in Brazil's history influenced more people to start playing the guitar. Our Goat.

[@supersonicej]

What a great dude

[@darengreenall503]

This is wild, such a talent 👏

[@johnheath4305]

Ain’t nobody gonna play like Mateus in no unpacking!

[@gravfielddrive]

Very Nice!

[@josephstacy8678]

Man this guy is sick. He has the sauce 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@MusicChannel-rf5zz]

Great bends & slides on 8:00. Is he talking about Suhr guitars?

[@VanjaSpirin]

This guy is great.

[@orangerecords_studio]

this is a realy nice guy , with an honest tone. He really have worked and practiced, no doubt, but he kept some really nice organic approach to it. Its fragile, in a way. Hes shyness, and personality comes out in his playing. Very charming . great from Beato, giving us the chance to get to know those talented young guys .

[@jeffreysalzman1497]

He makes those impossible guitar lines look so easy.

[@joaopedroferreiraribeiro1732]

Without any traces of a slight mistake. Heck impressive

[@luizbreaking4172]

Toca muito esse menino!

[@jerrymcleod8586]

I wish You can interview Isisah Sharkey,he’s a master with double stops in a Musical Way,His warm up is Musical!!💯🎸

[@Rustyjamesman]

Love this guys playing! Been following his career for years, so cool that he got to play with Bruno Mars

[@SapetarCreations]

love your channel Rick, maybe you should consider to interview/featuring Mattias IA Eklundh, Ron Thal, Feodor Dosumov - these are guitar giants too

[@midi1529]

Mateus likes to have fun!

[@bcatsbluesband]

Mateus is brilliant Brazilian player

[@JGriffiths-qg8dy]

guy is soooo cooool

[@mtacoustic1]

Multi-phonic-poly-sonic and conic to boot!

[@luke3501]

So cool.

[@SharpEdgeStandardOfficial]

Govan is great but for me small doses, he reminds me of a supercharged Legato Joe. And like Henson and those guys, very small doses and that’s al I’ll say on that.

[@henkyhermawan1518]

He @mateusasato is incredible🔥🔥🔥

[@johnjohn37371]

Most of these insanely talented guitarists come off as really good dudes...

[@Matty_76]

God he plays beautifully

[@edgared3224]

Os guitarristas brasileiros sempre trazem algo novo relacionado à técnica, e isso os diferencia dos que apenas reproduzem.

[@LaGuitarraChapina]

você poderia me informar o nome do guitarrista brasileiro que ele mencionou no vídeo, por favor?

[@ramonsvzofficial]

@@LaGuitarraChapina Juninho Afram.

[@LaGuitarraChapina]

@@ramonsvzofficial obrigado, tem um bom dia!!

[@geoffsnell1527]

What is that amp he's playing through. Looks like an advanced Tremolux

[@fearbabyriffs]

Rick please get Tuck Andress on. He is brilliant.

[@wellington66440]

juninho afram! 3:35 check the clip of ''água viva'' to see mateus's mentor in action.

[@lucask922]

Someone know what is this model of gibson blue?

[@hermilogarcia7510]

What’s the name of those pickups?

[@pohldriver]

Was that the amp hissing?

[@stevemueller4703]

This can’t be overstated- what he does at 6:42 should be automatic for every lead guitarist. Love this guy and how humble he is!

[@spanqueluv9er]

What are you referring to?? There’s nothing there.🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤡

[@samuelwedgeworth9879]

M.A. should receive Guitar Player of the year every year. Aspire what he shares & it will change your life as a player.

[@TobyKBTY]

Me who doesn't know a lick of theory: Ah yes, very clear.

[@JackWGuitarLessons]

Was he talking about Juninho Afram?

[@soufianeraddahi2365]

[@josephballerini3730]

As Paul Simon said about Paul McCartney: he’s very musical.

[@ciro0107]

Ok. Maybe if I born again...

[@petealba707]

So cool that he found his own lane by being inspired by other players and instruments. Hopefully those who learn Mateus' licks will not simply copy but use it to find their own lane.

[@greynepomuceno6415]

What guitar Mateus using? I mean what type of les paul?

[@pmartinsoliveira]

Rick Beato signature

[@henry247]

Thats not a Les Paul...thats an SG with single coils

[@tomcanningmusic4923]

@@henry247 it's a double cut les paul with P90's

[@kevinostberg1729]

I bet Mateus would enjoy the playing of Roy Clark and Glenn Campbell. It's a shame they are gone now. What magnificent talents they were.

[@shanallenalegre3430]

My question is,, how to have hair like Mateus Asato

[@henry247]

You need to be born asian...

[@chrisvaughn6381]

Try 9.5 Lol

[@sinnerorsavior]

Whats up with the English accent ?😮

[@BHPOfficial]

He’s Brazilian….

[@paliwanag8772]

by the way Rick's green screen studio looks stuffy, so fake

[@hermilogarcia7510]

Yngwie wishes he could play with this kind of substance. But no, just 1000 notes per half second. Boring....

[@Molt408]

no thanks!

[@siquijorianwarrior5443]

Not impressive playing, just like testing a guitar in guitar store. Boring licks slides.
