[@MateusAsato]

This was such a nice afternoon! My first time being filmed speaking english couldn't be cooler without y'all, even though I was freakin' nervous haha. You and Tim are amazing human beings, and incredible guitar players. Thank you so much for this! Much respect. Mateus Asato

[@PeteThorn]

Mateus Asato you were great man!!!

[@muckadeezy]

THis was awesome!

[@flamen89]

you are cool man! amazing player! wish i could play with my fingers and thumb. gotta start practicing that

[@shaunm1983]

Some of the best lead playing I've ever seen

[@Notouu69]

Mateus Asato Dude!! you're so gifted and unique! Thanks for inspiring me! And you've gained a fan.

[@thereallbking]

Mateus really inspires you to rethink the way you play guitar. Definitely has the potential to be one of the greatest of all time. :)

[@fp-ko7vg]

Its as if Yngwe, gilmour and knopfer had a baby

[@JimRivers1179]

HE IS one of the GREATEST of ALL TIME 🎸

[@bojangles6444]

@@fp-ko7vg no it really isn’t. He doesn’t sound anything like those 3. He plays a strat style guitar, that’s the only comparison. He sounds more like Eric Johnson then those 3 in his tone on a strat. But he doesn’t sound like him musically. Let people be themselves without cheesy comparisons. Yngwie would never play so few notes, Knopfler is more twang, I don’t see him playing slow hand blues like Gilmore. Who is next, Kirk Hammet?

[@Zaysearth]

100% have been readapting my style and learning more of the fundamentals thanks to this man

Love your videos guys! If any of you are ever in the UK & want to hook up for some youtube fun just let us know!

Captain meets .......Tim and Pete surely!!!

[@andertons]

Yeah man...

[@andertons]

And Mateus....

[@PeteThorn]

Thanks! We love you guys too! I was just in the UK but only briefly- next time, for sure!

[@lavbas2107]

my frycking god yes, captain meets asato would be gold

[@jeromemartin6571]

Tim Pierce and Pete Thorn are immensly humble people. They share knowledge, they listen to their guest, they are not affraid to talk about their limitation (everyone has some at some point..) Guys, your are truely inspiring. Thanks!

[@KleyDeJong]

I would pay money for that jam as a standalone song. So beautiful.

[@SnuffSimon]

5:19 Listen to everyone’s dynamics... they all build together to support Mateus’ energy. This is musicianship, and when Mateus says, “Nah, you guys...” it’s appreciation, not just modesty.

[@GuitarforHISGlory]

My goodness. So much talent in one room. Humility to boot. Thank you, guys!

[@Guitarsforlife41]

Guitar for HIS Glory l

[@marksadventures3889]

You always find that the more talented folks are the more humble and down to earth they are. I have found that a lot. - Nothing to prove I guess.

[@joshmuz9018]

The way he lets out little yeahs and ahh while the others play is something we learn in worship teams. It's a way of listening to others and then expressing appreciation if their skills and then they play better you okay better and it feels like a painting you paint together and not a competition of egos. Could tell straight away this guy has a praise and worship upbringing

[@viewoftheaskew]

To me Mateus is fresh like Eddie Van Halen was fresh in 1978, lots of creative players over the years but every few decades someone emerges with such soulful expressions & sounds it takes your breath away and stops you in your tracks. It's like they reinvent the instrument, I'm SO glad he decided not to listen to his well meaning parents!

[@Jay-sy5yf]

This kid is a savage guitarist! I've never heard of him but now I'm a huge fan. Thank you Tim and Pete. Great job as always. We appreciate your efforts!

[@LEUNN_]

Oh man... Mateus is a beast. There's enough melodic ideas in this video to study for months.

[@GuitarforHISGlory]

Finally got to the end where Pete and Tim are learning from Mateus. It is so cool to watch them get taken back to their woodshedding days! Being excited to learn something new and even stumbling along the way. Thank you, again, Pete, Tim and Mateus!

[@planetsab]

so funny, when they are doing the first percussive blue note, Mateus at one point chuckles like he's thinking I can't believe I get to show these guys this.

[@pjguitar15]

Mateus is probably the most iconic guitarist of our era right now. you know, modern sounding guitar licks. Someone that future guitar players would really remember because of his unique and amazing style.

[@Geoff_24]

Mateus's 2nd solo at the start is so sick. Perfectly summed up by Pete afterwards. "You're playing is just so damn musical." I can't think of a better compliment to get.

[@robertmuckle2985]

Pete asks.....so what do you think attracts that level of interest"?...referring to Mateus's following! Really??? Could it be that Mateus is IMHO THE most talented guitarist in my lifetime, and I'm 65 years old;) I've never even heard him EVER toss or botch even a grace note where (example) the above session, Pete plays multiple questionable grace notes in every motif he plays.This gifted young man seems to have a relationship with his fretboard where his fingers answer to every musical thought he conjures! Mind blowing in reality!!!

[@mattkozink7488]

Terrific interview with Mateus. His discussion of why he evolved his rhythmic/melodic approach is a classic example of how necessity is the mother of invention. He didn't have a virtual drum machine for rhythm so he evolved his play to fill the gap; wow. His talent and humility will take him far. Pete; thanks for introducing me to Mateus on a past Instagram post of yours. I can already hear the influence he has had on your ear.

[@StreetsOfVancouverChannel]

It's refreshing when an especially inspiring and versatile guitarist also has a beautiful and gracious soul...

[@daleturner]

53:26 DUDE!!! I'ze NOT worthy!!! Waaaay too kind, maestro man. (That's all YOU!) But super rad of you to remember our rad hangs at MI! Many thanks brosef Mateus!!! :-)

@@jessearias12 Jesse!!! How goes it, mayun?? So sorry I didn't even see your crazy cool comment till just now!! How's pickin'?? GEET MANIA!!!! Mateus slays all!!!!!!

[@WiserInTime]

I discovered Mateus Asato watching a Suhr guitars video and Mateus typed in the comments section something like "hey that's me!" (the video didn't show the guitar players face). I did a Google search for him and found his KZbin channel. Great stuff!

[@jnh73]

One of the main reasons I love watching this show is hearing the little idiosyncrasies that make each player their own player. For example, Mateus adds these beautiful microbends and mini-slides to his runs that I doubt anyone else would be able to replicate, even if shown how and when to do it. It's thing Mateus does unconsciously and it's wonderful. Thanks to Tim and Pete for making such engaging, worthwhile content. And wearing your fan hearts on your sleeves. Keep it coming!

[@felizpeleida2607]

Que orgulho de ver esse japa na gringa representando o Brasil . Mateus Asato , tu é foda .

[@primeDecomposition]

Never heard of Asato before, dude had some DELICIOUS tones going and mighty tasty licks there. That he's able to play like that with those tiny tiny little hands is even more impressive.

[@andrelfcunhaii]

Matheus Asato é um guitarrista incrível, com uma técnica diferenciada e bastante peculiar, que mescla sensibilidade, swing e senso melódico transcendental. Um verdadeiro fenômeno da música brasileira.

[@aceline9087]

André Cunha fuck

[@EVEROSFP1]

I like how Mateus puts together classic elements of soloing like triads, pentatonic phrasing,6ths or 4ths in a intellectual yet super melodic emotional mode and then some. And you gentlemen are awesome too!

[@lloydh65]

To hear Pete and Tim, two fantastic players in their own right, gushing (rightly so) over this guy solidifies his standing as a fantastic and masterful player.

[@pauljirak2373]

I really love the style and sound of Tim Pierce and Pete Thorn.. But honestly when jamming - Mateus takes it all....

[@iromregal2468]

I discovered​ him well before everyone was onto him...he got very few follower back then...but man!!! when i saw his vid for the first time...i just felt in love with his melody, techniques, slides, phrasing..i remember there was a big smile on my face.

[@baldbearded9601]

Still one of my favourite music interviews 6 years later.. to see those two guys in complete admiration of him shows how you never stop learning about music! What an inspiring talent.. Mateus will always make my top 3 👌

[@mateusmarques5650]

Que honra para eles conhece o Mateus... hahaha

[@gitaarlessenamersfoort920]

thank you guys for picking out a guy like mateus, what an awesome musician

[@coryhoi7764]

I come back to this video every so often just to listen to the jam session. The second time Mateus plays is insane! Seems so effortless and melodic, it sounds amazing.

[@Javerrari]

Mateus is seriously one of my all time favorites. So much feel. What a great episode.... now if you guys could just get Shawn Tubbs on I'd be super happy!!

[@picklesnips3378]

Javi C. My all time dream would for Shawn tubbs and Mateus asato to jam out

[@picklesnips3378]

And mark letteri

[@leonemilagres]

Mateus is a magician! Awesome player, one of the best I've ever seen!

[@cliffgold3840]

A truly inspiring player. Thanks for having Mateus as a guest T & P.

[@sjfamilomusic]

Mateus is such a humble and unassuming guy. I've been watching his channel for a while, excited to see you had him on the show. You guys have had some awesome guests so far!

[@coreybrown4920]

6 years later and I still come back to this episode when I'm feeling bored or stale

[@NikolausBrocke]

I didn't know Mateus Asato before this video. He really plays great. Best solo of these three.

[@SixStringChannel]

Asato's 2nd solo in the beginning wow'ed me bigtime!

[@clywchief385]

OMG Mateus Asato listens to Snarky Puppy!! Love this guy!

[@TooBadBro3921]

Goosebumps every single time with that intro, man.

[@davidgermanopaes7800]

Tim's reaction at 4:50..Amazing, so fast and so clear!!

[@phillkard]

We can call Asato`s tecnique as Angels Tecnique. When he plays, it feels like they are all around. Gosh, this is magical.

[@reviewforthetube6485]

Mateus is my favorite guitarist on youtube or pretty much anywhere on the planet his style is just amazing and the way he plays has more feeling then ive ever seen and you can see how into it he is so much so that he pulls you into this trance of feelings and its just crazy I really dont think ive ever seen anybody play with the feeling he does

[@curtisprice9806]

Totally absorbed these musicians....couldn't walk away. Heart to heart 💗

[@michaelyork4554]

Makes me wonder if Mateus' Parents ever really listened to him play, obviously to most people, myself included, from the first time I heard Mateus, I felt the uniqueness of his approach to guitar melodies. I've been playing for 40 years, and I know when I hear something special, Mateus has definitely got that something special. It's not the techniques, it's what you do with them.

[@chrislestermusic]

Pete, you did a great job keeping the interview going and stopping it from going into awkward pauses. You can tell that between his shyness and a little bit of a language barrier (just a liitle bit. Trust me, I have huge admiration for people who can speak multiple languages) that the conversation could have come to a grinding hault. So, excellent job guys!!!! These just get better and better and are so helpful and informative. Thank you!

[@PeteThorn]

Chris Lester thanks! This was his first interview in English and I'm sure it was nerve wracking for him! He did just great 👍

[@chrislestermusic]

+Pete Thorn Wow! That makes it even more impressive.

[@baldbearded9601]

John Mayer has a big influence on my playing too, but Mateus and Lari Basilio are also two of my very favorite artists! KZbin provides quality musicians for us to discover and he is the best example! I wish Mateus would make lessons for sale on chords and voicing and whatnot :)

[@TheIVANSCARPA]

Two of my favorite guitar players !!! Keep Rocking Pete and Mateus \w/

[@silvadf9054]

Sem querer comparar....mateus asato outro nivel

[@benzakonium]

That opening jam was sublime... all of your are incredible players.

[@rebeccalockharth1842]

I couldn't be more in love with a performance...this is magical...healing. I will use it on my channel playlist!

[@pwman]

Oh my freakin goodness... that opening jam ... beautiful, seamless and emotionally stunning ... Beautiful job to ALL three of you!

[@jordonwinn7661]

Mateus is one of my very favorite guitarist!! He just plays so lovely.

[@AndyK.23]

Awesome tones and playing, on all fronts! That percussive hand attack reminds me of Knopfler a lot! And, kudos to Tim bringing an Anderson to a Suhr-fest!

[@ameduraamedura2675]

I love mateus, he's very humble and down to earth, pete and tim Are both great players too and they. Have they're own playing style and happy taking lessons from mateus. I love you all guys. Rock on Mateus

[@Wasiacano]

A player like Nick Johnston or Aaron Marshall from Intervals would be sweet. Great episode by the way!

I'm so glad for Mateus. He deserves all this. He is an awesome guitar player, but he is an awesome human being too.

[@hanif7612]

Please do one with Andy Timmons. Pretty please. I beg you.

[@PeteThorn]

Would love to! i'll ask Andy

[@youtuber-lh3ks]

And one with Jeff Kollman and Richie Kotzen!

[@hanif7612]

alma terzic don't push it...

[@joosee6767]

one with GG

[@flp2635]

It's great to see established guitarists humble enough to still learn from others. There is no doubt that that what makes you guys such great guitarist and a good example for us still learning.

[@YouNeedMani]

Mateus is my favorite player of all time, for real. He has something very unique going on and it is legendarily (is that a word?) inspiring.

[@richardroskell3452]

What a warm and respectful meeting between three wonderful guitarists. It's an blessing to hear their insights and inspirations.

[@manishmanbert8592]

3:26 this line just went through my body, said hello to my heart, and went back. i guess mateus felt it too.

[@blkfoxninja]

Mateus' playing is amazingly inspirational, and that shell pink Suhr strat is pretty much his signature at this point lol

[@anxiousmindmusic]

And I want it so bad :)

[@nathanaelvalville9191]

They are his signature guitars, the pink and the black.

[@jay2xtremefy]

Humble and incredible musicians with beautiful gears. 😊

[@TimsGuitarWorldwithTimFeskorn]

Im pushin 70 and Mautaus is definitely in my top 3 living players. Can't wait to see how it goes. i love his take on Gospel music.. Thanks friends great show.

[@jessesmit2907]

Absolutely love this. I was a big fan of Mateus Asato for a while and then when I met my girlfriend, one of her favorite artists is Tori Kelly. Then I looked her up and found out Mateus is her guitar player. Such a crazy coincedence. Mateus is honestly one of the freshest guys out there in this pop/rock melodic style!

[@crypto_bull]

I think this might count as my favorite episode so far.

[@hmn4466]

I'm so much proud of him. From Brazil to the world. Gaining respect from other amazing players all around the world. His devotion to the instrument is very impressive, he deserve all the sucess he is gathering now. Stay hungry, stay foolish Mateus.

[@freestyla101]

If this is not one of the most captivating improvs, I don't know what is. Please turn this into something I can listen to day in, day out.

[@BeefNEggs057]

Awesome! Found his music in a round about way very recently. Weird but I actually found someone doing a cover of his don't dream it's over cover. The cover of Mateus was good so I did a quick search and found his treasure pile of music. Sat and seriously cried listening to that song and others of his. Super talented and awesome to hear another artist influenced by Mayer. He's been my fav since Room for Squares. Mateus gets a listen from me about once a day now. Gotta find his instagram now.

[@Danocaster214]

I'm so glad I'm not the only one perplexed by his playing. We have these consummate professionals learning new things! Love this!

[@chhendokrai4140]

Mateus have really beautiful feel... cant get enough

[@grahamsampson769]

One of most melodic and inspiring all-guitar videos I've seen. Gorgeous!

[@gregorytoddsmith9744]

When three magicians get together........Wow!

[@eltole4766]

3 generations of musicians, beautiful playing and unique feeling!

[@8triagrammer]

I used to see Tim play in a band called Saul Goode. Some of the best shows I've ever seen, he's being super humble here, his guitar playing, especially off the cuff is SO good - tasteful, vibey, with a wide palette of styles and textures.

[@Bpjames]

Love that intro jam, especially Mateus' second solo, like he was more reserved or apprehensive on the first one and really tore it up on the second! Great interview guys, great content as always.

[@MrDT543]

Awesome to see two extremely accomplished and humble musicians welcome the new kid on the block and learn new things from him rather than try and knock him down for being young. Musicians need to learn from him!!

[@edwardbrosens]

Yeah that's right, It's so damn musical. I can listen to this all day everyday.

[@GabrielFingolo]

i'm sure that Mateus does better with his hands as a musician than he could ever do as a doctor. this kind of music that he does enad his history inpired me and many other guys to keep going further!

[@arthurjames3060]

that opening jam is everything.

[@GregVasquez777]

I think the big reason people follow him with more fervor is his skill level is high, great tone, he is more unique in style, his melodies are beautiful, they induce an awe, he is humble, likable and he looks kewl. ha ha..

[@Caaarrl94]

5:25 - 5:40 by the beard of zeus that was one of the tastiest things ive ever seen the way he ended that solo

[@donfully]

It's just..... meaningful

[@nathanaelvalville9191]

Well when this guy Mateus gets hot......

[@jimmynikriket848]

Time to sit back and relax and enjoy an hour long of pure entertainment.

[@goldendrums6657]

I love the way how people like Pete and Tom accept and admire the next generation's music or skills I was little bit suprised when Tim said ''I would say you do it better' at 54:13

[@nickboyle3349]

the second solo needs to be kept in a time capsule, holy cow

[@nathanaelvalville9191]

He was just getting warmed up

[@seongkim7594]

Guitar is such a wonderful instrument. Proved again by Pete, Tim, and Mateus.

[@johanbjorklund6781]

That opening jam guys. Watching it over and over and get goosebumps every time. I mean Mateus’ second solo round. Come on!

[@curyrodrigo]

Isso ae Mateus... Aqui no Brasil, infelizmente o povão não aprecia boa música e não valoriza músicos com o talento como o seu! Parabéns.. Que Deus continue te abençoando!

[@GuitarManLobo]

Mateus, you are an amazing and inspiring player! Fantastic interview Tim and Pete! Love the questions you guys ask. Now i'm look forward to an interview with Blake Mills ;-). Just throwing it out there.

[@toddlanctot643]

That opening session gave me goose bumps. So beautiful and unique. I absolutely love these and always look forward to new episodes.

And he's a Derek Trucks fan? That seals the deal lol

[@surfzion]

Crazy talent. The Brazilian creativity mixed with Nipponic discipline and aesthetics.

[@jimdavignon]

My top 3 players right now. Superb.

[@northof50now]

His phrasing and playing are very reminiscent of Mark Knopfler's technique in his ballads. At the 1:05:17 mark I though I was hearing Romeo and Juliet. The bouncing thumb on the baseline give it a more complex feel.

[@SenseInTheChaos]

I've never clicked onto a video so fast in my whole life.
