The MATEUS ASATO Interview - Today’s Favorite Guitar Hero Returns!

[@MateusAsato]

Thank you so much for having me, Rick. ❤️

[@kristoferbk7486]

Thank you both for doing this!

Great having you brother!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Great interview as always…. Obrigado 🥂

[@GuilhermeSilva-rp2it]

Rapaz, o Rick escolhe a dedo com quem ele bate papo. Ele conversou com Peter Frampton, Sting, Jon Anderson, Ron Carter, Brian May e outros pesos pesados. Cada um desses monstros tem no mínimo 50 anos de estrada. Você tá de parabéns de fazer parte desse seleto grupo. Porque o Rick não queima cartucho com quem não tem bala. Parabéns pelo reconhecimento, bola pra frente.

Sometimes the most empathetic people come from abusive families where they were not afforded that same empathy. Safe not to assume anything about someone's childhood. But I agree with the sentiment. Rick is a very warm person and it shows.

[@unstopology]

@@Wizardofgosz It's literally what the first part of the video is about.

[@justsomeguy1074]

Watch the first part again. I wouldn't say he was depressed more like reevaluating where he fit in musically. Not that he had to but all creative people go through phases like that.

[@Yamallama585]

You have some Rick on your nose

[@helixworld]

Many, many Brazilian guitarists seem to have amazing skills. Its common to play with exceptional expression and personality, so its not just about technical skills. I've never been to Brazil, but I'm pretty sure the whole country is jam packed full of great guitarists.

[@qwertyzxcv123]

It's the flavor they bring with their music.

[@Lu1sCarvalh0]

not just guitar players... brazilian bass players seem to have a lot of groove too.

[@lufermartins]

I would say packed full of great musicians, not only guitarists. The thing is that barrier language keeps them inside the hole most of the time. Brazil is a curious case of not fitting musically in Latin America and not fitting in pop world scene for not singing in English, or you can't connect with local audience. There's a whole scene that happens there - and only there - and there are great musical folks making it.

[@gre8]

Well, there are a lot of Brazilians, so statistically we are bound to get a good number of good musicians. But you do have a point. Brazil is extremely musical. It is a huge country full of regional music styles, rhythms, influences and a veritable melting pot of cultures. We've always really loved stringed instruments for some reason. Brazilians have been hooked on guitars ever since the Jesuits first brought old renaissance and baroque guitars to evangelize the native population.

[@fredericofurlan]

Brazilian culture diversity plays a major influence on forming "its" guitar players high standards techniques: African rhythm + European Classic Music + the desire to ever create new sounds.

17:36 DUDE!!!! Mateus, you just melted my mind, maestro madman ❤❤❤❤!!! Trust me though, it is *I* (and the rest of us at Musicians Institute) who did the gnarliest of learning from your SIIICK pickin' self!! But I sincerely appreciate you talking about this... the coolness of chord ornamentation, chord partials, doubletops, rhythm fills, in that (or ANY) style. With your tasteful beastliness, you single-handedly have rejuvenated that approach on the geet... exposing it HEAPS of peeps... thus creating HOPE for the guitar community... which in the opinion of many, has been dipping into "stale" territory, for the last while. THANK YOU for your musical (and friendship) gifts, mayun!! We at Musicians Institute are all honored, and you deserve every droplet of your success ❤Hugs to you man! And hopefully see you soon... And geez, RICK! Most grateful to you for playing a pivotal role in Mateus getting his MUSE and MOJO back... You are a guitar hero in yet ANOTHER way :-) Thank you for hosting this most magical cat in your pickin' parlor, a sentiment obviously shared by the other billion people soaking up your channel's indispensable goods!

I hadn't heard if you before but you're very cool! Would love to know what you think about Heitor TP (Pereira).

[@daleturner]

@@lilgreenmomo I LOVE Heitor--so much so that I saved my VERY LAST EVER acoustic column in Guitar World magazine, for him... though they messed up one thing.... editing what I wrote in the 1st paragraph, making it sound like he attended Berklee (when he actually studied with his friends who were going there at the time). Huge fan of his scores, and his playing on others' scores. Especially with Hans Zimmer.

[@zengokigyh]

Amazing to get to read this. You guys have such big wise hearts. And it's amazing to me as a guitar player how much of a gem this interview is. All three of you inspire me, passionately, and you sincerely brought a tear to my eyes. I hope guitar grows back in some way! You're definitely helping atleast!

[@kevincondran8032]

Mateus is 100% correct; what you do here Rick is SO important and valuable for the music community. Thank you. Great video!

[@glennlavertu3644]

Fascinating. Something that is never talked about in this production-driven culture is the need to incubate and take a break. Creativity is not simply a physical activity. The constant need to practice and "hone one's chops" is not what making art is about. The pressure to perform can burn an artist/musician out. That Mateus Asato admits that he lost interest for a short spell is refreshingly honest. It does not and should not mean he wasn't, during that time, every bit the creative force he is. Bravo to him and you Rick for this interview.

[@gigibolani4712]

[@junatan25]

Rick's a legend for just reaching out to Mateus when he was feeling down and overwhelmed.

My wife bought me my first guitar a few years ago when I was struggling through chemo and although I had a rough time looking at screens (or remembering anything from the medication) I have watched a ton of your channel. You explain things so differently than everyone else and you put LIFE into the stories of music. For me you do anyway. Never forget that YOU CHANGE THE WORLD for many people by just being you.

Watching this video brought tears to my eyes. Matteo, thank you for the bravery of opening up about you losing your inspiration and how you felt lost. During the pandemic, our son, who is a very much internationally known musician, composer, producer, dj and performer has hit rock bottom with depression and anxiety. I will let him know about the interview. As a point of interest, he is the only one in my country to have your T-style Suhr, which he loves, by the way. Our son has toured the world for years and has many number 1 hits in his genre. He is an exceptional guitarist, among other things and a great fan of yours. You are so clear about how support from a fellow musician helped you when you were down. As a father, I am naturally deeply concerned about how my son is suffering. As a seasoned coach, I know that I am too close to offer my knowledge to help. To him, I’m just Dad. I know it’s a lot to ask, but it might mean the world of difference to my son if you would care to reach out to him. If you read this and want to help, post Yes on my wall and we’ll take it from there.

You know what's funny, is that the conversation and playing at 25 minutes in, Mateus is talking about double stops and rhythm giving credit to Hendrix, Mayer, Frusciante, etc. and then he plays a little improvisation which struck my ears as also an homage to Joe Pass, Bucky Pizzarelli and many other great jazzers. Great interview and Mateus has some sick skills.

Great recommendation, Mateus and Matteo are two of my favorites to watch. Future of guitar

[@joshmuz9018]

Yeah he's amazing

[@spacemancanpee7114]

Man this video just hit the spot. I was always scared that Mateus would no more pump out the same content after his break. Glad I'm wrong. In the end he is still the same, my guitar hero.

De Campo Grande, no Mato Grosso do Sul, para o mundo. Sensacional! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Its my time to discover new guitar players: I just heard Matteo Mancuso, amazing; and now Mateus. Life keeps evolving, music and musicians keep evolving, standing on the shoulders of who came before. Even if they haven't heard them. I think we're all connected, the collective unconsciousness of humanity keeps communicating with itself! Incredible. Always new talent. Go Mateus- don't hold back, we love and support you brother. Beautiful guitar for sure (!) 🕉 🎉

Rick once again, you are our hero. You’re an icon in the music world. You’ll be remembered as an amazing human being, and a wonderful musician.😊 You have my respect

[@KaiTiura]

Yep; you, Rick, ARE an extremely necessary inspiration and advocate for music in general, and Mateos is an amazing guitarist and an obviously high quality human being... something far too few musicians of his caliber are these days. His playing is just unbelievable. For him to be so humble is such a positive side-benefit. I really appreciate your channel and all the wonderful music you have turned me on to!

Mateus is one of my absolute favorite guitar players

[@bradneyclayton1320]

I thoroughly enjoy listening to Mateus speak. Just like his guitar playing, he speaks with emotion and authenticity. I can connect to what he’s saying more than any English scholar.

Mateus is one of the really fresh and real musicians I have found recently

[@jacquescousteau217]

This was an emotional touching interview. Kudos to Rick you just turned me on to the most humble ,creative,technical,melodic player I’ve heard in a long,long time . Thank you both …
