i'm starstrucked

Você é incrível meu mano, só energia boa emana de vocês dois. Muita luz.

class

gentleman ❤ you're both amazing!!

que vídeo bom, grande Mateus! vibe incrível

Right?? I was thinking just that

💯 agree

I was also thinking the same👌

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

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.

Whoa great

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.

You forgot the SUHR's...

@@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.

If you look at it that way yes 😂

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

Nahre took banjo lessons from none other than Bela Fleck and Abigail Washburn

That’s not a great title for the video, if you ask me…

You need to listen to him playing Heroes Of Sand

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

@@minyaminilla Not microtonal

Eu estudei no mesmo colégio dele o fleming, triste que isso nunca foi falado no colégio, eu que descobri um vídeo dele criancinha com a roupa do colégio hahaha muito orgulho desse cara

I'm so proud of your friend, bro. He's a great musician and also a humble & nice human being. ❤

Thank you so much… that is pretty wild 😄

Try fingerpicking ragtimey on a guitar.

FIXED

Oh yes, indeed!

Narhe taking up guitar, absolutely!👌

Thank you!!

Thank you!!

Thank you!! And for sharing your experience!!

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.

Yes!!

Thank you!!

Thank you!!

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!!

ridik on the bass lesgo 🤣🔥

@@insbless woii 🤣🤣

He is amazing!
