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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

@@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.

@@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.

@@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.

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.

Thank you for your thoughtful and fun interview!

Wonderful interview Nahre! You made so much space for Mateus to describe his process.

Fantastic conversation between two amazing musicians. Cheers!

It was a pleasure to hear the playing, the theory, and the words of wisdom in this video. Thank you both for taking the time to make this!

That was one of the best and most well done interviews I've seen with him. So helpful to help understand his genius, thanks to both of you!

Love that you took the time to provide the tab and the sheet!!🎉

Brilliant!! Thank you, Nahre and Mateus!,👏🏻💐

The level of insight and understanding from both of you is just outstanding.

this was incredible. very genuine and lots of depth

2 of my favs what a blessing

Loved this convo. Really glad you used your time together at Universal Audio to keep the cameras rolling! Thanks Nahre

She's a goddess!! She gave note references and tabs aswell!!😭😭😭😭😭🫂🫂

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 😊

Beautiful video. I love how the concepts are overlaid on the image as you guys are talking. Truly a multi modal learning experience. Love you Mateus! I met you at Vai Academy in January and am so stoked to be expanding my solo arrangements and chord melody skills with your influence. Thank you Nahre for hosting, first video of yours I've seen but I subscribed and look forward to more. Peace out 🤘😎

This is amazing... best interview, love the small details in the overlay which help unpack what Mateus is saying.

Nahre, you are a beautiful soul. Thank you for this!

Instrumentally life changing, thank you for you both!! Learned and refreshed so many things!!

This interview had so much to keep the viewer engaged. Great job guys 👏👏

Great job articulating the steps in a way the beginner can work from, Nahre. Not to mention the more advanced who are gleaning clues to Mateus’s super feel and melodic development. 💜

Such a joy and very informative at any level. Thank you both so much for sharing this with us

Best collab ever. Fan of both of you for a long time. I loved the way ye approached the technical stuff❤

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.

Awesome interview and insight! definitely some great takeaways to try out & huge to practice making scale runs as musical as possible, thx u!

Wonderful interview. Thank you @Nahre Soul

Thank you for this interview (and it's quality). This guy has this way of playing guitar that make you feel you're in love with a sound. Well played Mr Asato... Well played.

Wow. Thank you very much for all the knowledge you guys shared with us

Great interview. Last “ blessing assurance” is the best I heard 😮

This video is so so so amazing! Thank you so much Nahre and Mateus ❤

As a guitar player, Nahre is a huge inspiration to me. She motivates me to learn more and be disciplined. It would be super fun to see her learning how to play the guitar 😂

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 :)

so great you transcribed everything you both were playing during the discussion. thanks for that.

This is the most educative interview I’ve ever watched ❤️

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. It's not only extremely well put, informative and insightful, but also very inspirational. Thank you!

The filmography and audio in this video are really great

Great insight from you both. So interesting to hear how you each approach improvisation, coloration, and texture. By never losing the melody, it is always understandable and enjoyable. Thanks!

very relaxed and picturesque. it was like painting with numbers. thanks.

Excellent interview, thanks a lot

Thank you Nahre. As a guitar player, this is invaluable stuff.

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

Great content. Thanks Nahre!!

This is exactly what i needed right now, thank you for the video !

Nahre, just discovered you... what a lesson and with tabs for us mortals! :-) love it - Thank you for the beautiful lesson! THANK YOU!

This is one of the best masterclass I’ve ever watched, great questions became great lessons! Thank you!

So much kindness and thoughtfulness mind in you to dedicate such mentor for those who are very lost in the process of learning to be playful on instrument

wonderful video, so informative in only 12 minutes. Thank you!

This was very calming and easy to watch. The conversation felt like it grew naturally. I'm watching two super cool and passionate folks discuss their craft. ☀️

Great job, you actually helped Mateus to explain it crystal clear.

I've been jamming with a friend in a weekly basis, and this comes just in hand for a problem we have trying to combine our improvisations. We are both very thankful!! Thank you!

this is amazing

I agree, he’s insanely talented.

I love this , two masters hanging out

Wow! Only just found this channel! Sooo cool. Love your interview style dude

Excellent interview.

What a precious video! simply awesome

What an informative and interesting interview - a masterclass. Great questions! Unique result.

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.

What a great interview I watch bunch of mateus asato's interview, and this by far the simplest, not complicated and informative interview I watched. Its like you already asked the questions I would like to ask to mateus. Thank you!

Awesome video... Thanks for bringing asato to your studio:)

Wow this is so cool. Really love the breakdown and creative approach of Mateus.

Wonderful! Can't wait to watch your journey learning a new instrument...:)

Excellent interview ma'am.

Great Tips from Nahre & Mateus!

This was great and sooo helpful!! :)
