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.
Kikão da massa aqui!? Aí sim, papai haha E Kiko, convence o Dave a deixar vc colocar uns toques latinos e brazucas nos riffs e solos do Megadeth haha 😎
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
@@andyroid5028 There was a song from a 1956 Broadway play called Mutual Admiration Society. Covered by a few people and a pretty big hit at the time. Rick should incorporate this song into his interviews. Probably wouldn't get the video blocked.
@@yogahausbrilon two years later, and his influence has gotten grown so much more. Literally thousands have gained an interest in music theory and the importance of harmony and complexity. Can't praise Rick Beato enough.
I honestly can’t remember the last time I found a guitarist as inspiring as I find Mateus. Every little detail of his playing is just so perfectly phrased, what an incredible musician.
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!
@@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.
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!
Rick Beato - The Guitar Therapist! So this is what makes Rick special. He doesn't just care about the music, but also about the musicians - their life story and their motivation. This is the behind the scenes work that it takes to keep the love for music going. Good work, sir.
I went to music school with Mateus. Even back in 2012 he was awesome - hard working and humble towards everyone. A really solid guy. Great to see him where he is now.
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.
So...after watching that incredible Sting interview, amongst others, we get this brilliant interview. Can we all just acknowledge how skilled Rick is at interviewing amazing musicians. That is yet another difficult skill to master that Rick seems to have added to his alreasy impressive array of talents. Well done Mr Beato. And amazing playing, as ever, Mateus.
Simplesmente incrível ver um artista brasileiro desbravando o mercado na gringa. Viva, Mateus Asato! Just awesome to see a brazilian musician thriving abroad! Brazilian music rocks. Viva, Asato!
Never heard of Mateus until now. What a phenomenon. You are a great interviewer Rick. Always letting the interviewee have their say without interruption. Absolutely brilliant.
I was introduced to him about 3 years ago. It was like when I first heard EVH, I thought, "who is this guy, what is this stuff?". He just changes the way you think about playing. Total inspiration.
Aside from all of this musical wisdom, this is a really great lesson of human kindness and compassion. Rick reached out to Matteus at a critical time. A time when, similarly, we all might be caught up in the doldrums. So, it's important to celebrate our "blessings" daily... musically and beyond.
Oh wow, Mateus seems so genuine and just so wonderful to be around. He's no messing around and he has a love of all the things he connects with. Hard to turn a guy like that down. It was great of you to reach out to him Rick, and I'm proud to be subscribed to someone like that. Also, I hope he gets to take one of those LP Juniors home or he gets sent one at some point because it really looks like it suits him! (Even if he loves his Suhrs!) Only listened to a couple of his bits but will make sure to listen to more now.
He is 100% correct! I'm an (ex?) Pro Strongman who has been through chemotherapy and now I'm losing my ability to walk. 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. Thank you and thank you Mateus as well.
Every few years, a breakout guitar player hits the scene: advancing the art-of-guitar by displaying skills that are truly new and creative, and elevating expectations for what can be accomplished on guitar. For our space n time, Mateus is that player.
I discovered this kid a couple years ago on You Tube. So many great guitarists on YT but most spend too much time on shredding for my liking. Mateus has that Jimi/Vaughn style melody that I do not get bored after 5 minutes on. I would love to see him live with a band if he ever comes to the NC area.
Never heard of the guy until now. My loss. I will DEFINITELY be listening for him in the future. A great mix of musicality and technique. Rick -- kudos for the interview and helping him get over a few moments of doubt.
Rick realized he was having trouble in his career, and immediately decided to message him. What a person. I subscribe to this for years now and from time to time yt reminds of checking him and Im always glad. Mateus, você é foda!
This was the most interesting guitar interview I have ever seen. I didn’t know of Mateus before this, but to see a person who radiates such amazing talent seemingly unknown to themselves. His humility makes you think he just picked up a guitar for the first time, but in his technique you see the most amazing thing you ever heard. Just wow!
Rick has such a platform now that his reach extends to these top tier musicians who don’t mind giving their time to appearing on this channel to share their stories. A+
Omg, Rick, I've been a fan for a while, you are a teacher of all kinds of music and music history, amazing. Mateus, newfound magician of the guitar, I'm honored to know of your skills. I've always marveled of Brazilian Portuguese, a harmonious language for sure. I'll never be the same after this video, thank you both.
This video is a piece of art. Made me emotional a few times just from a conversation between two kind and talented souls. Also, it's a pleasure being from Brazil as well. Vai Brasil, vai Mateus!
This is my introduction Mateus. Because I'm old. Because I'm a drummer. Amazing 😳! Forever in Rick's debt. Melodic, slippery, fast, precise, original, beautiful virtuosic playing. Never seen/heard anything quite like this. Both of you were great together! Could have watched two more hours, for sure.
Wow those 37 minutes flew by!!! I could listen to this for hours!!!! I'm so happy you got to do this interview!!! Please get Guthrie Govan next!!! Can't wait Rick!!! Viva Mateus!!!!!!
Entre músicos no geral ele já tem muito reconhecimento, mas side-musicians de nenhum lugar do mundo tem muito reconhecimento público, a menos que tenham formado uma banda com muitos hits e tenham uma personalidade diferenciada (com muito espaço na gig), no geral acredito que ele tem sim muito reconhecimento, pois todos músicos no Brasil sabem seu nome e conhecem o seu trabalho. Merecia mais com certeza, porém não falta também! Sou um grande fã e nem músico sou
@@falomemosemmaldade8949 entendo perfeitamente. Sou músico, mas hj não vivo da música. E de fato quem é músico conhece ele. Mas acredito que falta reconhecimento ainda. Ele fez um trabalho com a Sandy que ficou fenomenal! Deveria aparecer mais nesses “feats” com nossos artistas.
I really enjoyed this interview as I do most all Rick videos. Mataus seems so nice and down to earth. So positive and encouraging. It’s inspiring me to play and practice more and I will be checking out his music as I just learned about him from this video.:)
Mateus just has this slippery vibe about his playing - it’s so broken out of the box, well executed and smooth as hell. Such an inspiration to pick up the guitar and find new ways to get my voice to come out of the instrument. Awesome as always with your interviews, Rick !!
Rick you do a f...ing great interview. I have 0 gitaur talent but am a lifelong fan of great gituar playing. you ask great questions that increases our gitaur iq. I didnt know the term "economy picking", fascinating
I'm not an instagram follower so this is the very first time I've heard of Mateus, he's obviously an amazing guitarist but he seems a really humble and genuinely nice guy. What a great interview!
Rick, I sincerely appreciate you and the platform you've created for the guitar and music community! You are truly a triple OG in the game! Mateus was then and still is a friend of mine from those days at the Musicians Institute and yes, certainly an outstanding player and gifted personality. Mateus, thank you for inspiring me to unlock my potential on the electric guitar! Had I not met you when I did, I'd surely still be miles behind where my playing stands. You're a better teacher than you give yourself credit for.
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.
Saw Mateus in Vegas with Silk Sonic! Dude is 🔥! His playing is unique and inventive. I’m going back to see them again this week to see one of their final shows just to see and hear Mateus one more time!!!
Two legends together just hanging out and showing their love and appreciation for each other, loved this so much. Rick, you truly are a special force in the musical community, please don't stop doing what you do, as Mateus said it is so important and appreciated!
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!
Congrats Mateus on bouncing back. You inspire me wholesomely. This story is totally relatable and very relevant to all creatives out there. Just know that as a sensitive person, you're bound to hit rock bottom as a result of outgiving yourself (burnout). When you do you'll probably contemplate social alienation to reevaluate, or further detachment which leads to depression. On the flip side with Mateus, I'm greatful for true friends like Rick who reach their hand in the pit to pull a friend out, dust them up, remind them who they are and thus causing them to bounce back. Such people add color to this world.
Rick You are such a good interviewer. You set up an open ended question and just sit back and let him flow. Great interview. My grandkids will be watching this 50 years from now.
What a sweet man. Very Gracious. We all can't have talent like Mateus, but we all play our part. Mr. Beato helps all of us, inspires us, he's a Great Blessing to us - just like he inspired Mateus to carry on. Thank you, Rick !
This just takes me back to the good 'ole days when people shared their feelings and admiration for each other and are humble yet awesome. This is why I love your channel, it's reality like John Denver on the Muppets-- good vibes all over the place.
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 …
Rick , great episode, like many others... You are being watched all over the world and your thoughtful and interesting contribution to music is just priceless. Greetings from Poland sir :) !
Mateus' humility, for being the monster player that he is, is awesome! And you Rick, God Bless you for inspiring him to put his amazing talent out there for us all to enjoy and get inspiration from!
Everyone… by now, has to really realize… that Rick is changing the World of Music? I mean… seriously. Rick is a “great” influence on music. I can only imagine what wisdom & compassion Rick rammed into his ears. Thank you Universe and TH-cam for these great guitar players and new friends 😃
Love this interview. And it shows us that even the super talented musicians can go through periods of lost or muted inspiration. Thankfully Mateus got it back, and we’re all the better for it. Humbling and inspiring all over again.
A friend sent me a link to Mateus playing 'Don't Dream It's Over' a few years ago. I remember just being blown away at his sense of melody and dynamics. Such a clean player. He has only gotten better. Such an inspiration.
That was beautiful!!! He's not wrong Rick! What you are doing through this channel is SO important. The knowledge you share, the opinions of someone with years in the industry and someone who genuinely loves music, as well as introducing us to so many inspirational artists that we may have never had the chance to listen to... Rock on, Rick!!
Rick is just the coolest guy, it is such a blessing to be doing what he loves, but he is also quick to jump and help his fellow musician and fellow human. Right on
Had to pinch myself to know I wasn't dreaming! Stellar words! Mateus is an inspiration :) Thank you Rick for your heart and all that you do for the community! Forever in your debt for all that you've given so freely
WOW!! This video brought me to tears; I can see that Rick SAVED Mateus life, because obviously he went into a deep depression that could had ended up costing his beautiful and creative life. Thank you Rick, for helping these wonderful and delicate creative souls out there. You ARE indeed such a huge pillar on which young and struggling musicians can lean on and find solace and force to keep the rest of us, mere mortals, entertained. Greetings from Méjico!!
Thank you so much for having me, Rick. ❤️
Thank you both for doing this!
Mateus you're great..you sound like Phil keaggy to me..keep playing bro..regards from Australia 💓
Great having you brother!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Great interview as always…. Obrigado 🥂

The way Mateus plays and the music he makes is just unique. He makes the guitar sound almost like a different instrument than most everyone else.
What a genuine, beautiful soul. Honest and humble. Real.
Omg I love this guy. He's so likeable and relatable. And Rick is just being the coolest dad on the planet.
im from brazil and im a huge fan of you Rick and its a blessing to see a brazilian being featured here!! Amazing work always!! Mateus is awesome!!

This video is a piece of art. Made me emotional a few times just from a conversation between two kind and talented souls. Also, it's a pleasure being from Brazil as well. Vai Brasil, vai Mateus!
This is my introduction Mateus. Because I'm old. Because I'm a drummer. Amazing 😳! Forever in Rick's debt. Melodic, slippery, fast, precise, original, beautiful virtuosic playing. Never seen/heard anything quite like this.
Both of you were great together! Could have watched two more hours, for sure.
Wow those 37 minutes flew by!!! I could listen to this for hours!!!! I'm so happy you got to do this interview!!! Please get Guthrie Govan next!!! Can't wait Rick!!! Viva Mateus!!!!!!
Omg, he actually never had Guthrie on... The final boss.
Mateus é um gênio! Merecia muito mais reconhecimento aqui pelas terras brazucas!
Yes sir!
conheci ele agora... não o conhecia antes desse vídeo... não poderia concordar mais com vc
Entre músicos no geral ele já tem muito reconhecimento, mas side-musicians de nenhum lugar do mundo tem muito reconhecimento público, a menos que tenham formado uma banda com muitos hits e tenham uma personalidade diferenciada (com muito espaço na gig), no geral acredito que ele tem sim muito reconhecimento, pois todos músicos no Brasil sabem seu nome e conhecem o seu trabalho. Merecia mais com certeza, porém não falta também! Sou um grande fã e nem músico sou
@@falomemosemmaldade8949 entendo perfeitamente. Sou músico, mas hj não vivo da música. E de fato quem é músico conhece ele. Mas acredito que falta reconhecimento ainda. Ele fez um trabalho com a Sandy que ficou fenomenal! Deveria aparecer mais nesses “feats” com nossos artistas.
@@2hib123 os arranjos que ele fez pro acústico MTV do Tiago Iorc também são sensacionais
What a nice and God blessed guitarist! ❤️🎸😊
I love Mateus' vibe, so calm. Also credits to Rick for his MAD skill as a listener!
Amazing and touching interview. Great content as always.
What a genuine soul. Love his playing.
Dude if I was in Rick’s position I would be smiling too when i see someone like Mateus play infront of me.. I’d be in awe..
Mateus is a real gem for the guitar world, as a guitarist, thank you Rick from the bottom of my heart
I really enjoyed this interview as I do most all Rick videos. Mataus seems so nice and down to earth. So positive and encouraging. It’s inspiring me to play and practice more and I will be checking out his music as I just learned about him from this video.:)
My native Countryman 😊
I left Brazil in 1967 at age 5, as the only one in my family born there and obviously this is a HUGE treat for me 😊
Mateus just has this slippery vibe about his playing - it’s so broken out of the box, well executed and smooth as hell. Such an inspiration to pick up the guitar and find new ways to get my voice to come out of the instrument. Awesome as always with your interviews, Rick !!
inspiring new player. His love of the gituar is obvious. Great interview Rick, absolutely fun to watch him play.
Rick you do a f...ing great interview. I have 0 gitaur talent but am a lifelong fan of great gituar playing. you ask great questions that increases our gitaur iq. I didnt know the term "economy picking", fascinating
How can you not love this young man? So humble, yet so incredibly talented. He understands and GETS melody and it comes through with such soulfulness.
I'm not an instagram follower so this is the very first time I've heard of Mateus, he's obviously an amazing guitarist but he seems a really humble and genuinely nice guy. What a great interview!
Rick, I sincerely appreciate you and the platform you've created for the guitar and music community! You are truly a triple OG in the game! Mateus was then and still is a friend of mine from those days at the Musicians Institute and yes, certainly an outstanding player and gifted personality.
Mateus, thank you for inspiring me to unlock my potential on the electric guitar! Had I not met you when I did, I'd surely still be miles behind where my playing stands. You're a better teacher than you give yourself credit for.
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.
I hope Mateus can reach out to your son.
Saw Mateus in Vegas with Silk Sonic! Dude is 🔥! His playing is unique and inventive. I’m going back to see them again this week to see one of their final shows just to see and hear Mateus one more time!!!
Two legends together just hanging out and showing their love and appreciation for each other, loved this so much. Rick, you truly are a special force in the musical community, please don't stop doing what you do, as Mateus said it is so important and appreciated!
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!
Congrats Mateus on bouncing back. You inspire me wholesomely. This story is totally relatable and very relevant to all creatives out there. Just know that as a sensitive person, you're bound to hit rock bottom as a result of outgiving yourself (burnout). When you do you'll probably contemplate social alienation to reevaluate, or further detachment which leads to depression.
On the flip side with Mateus, I'm greatful for true friends like Rick who reach their hand in the pit to pull a friend out, dust them up, remind them who they are and thus causing them to bounce back. Such people add color to this world.
De Campo Grande, no Mato Grosso do Sul, para o mundo. Sensacional! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Never knew that Mateus had a break like this. Hope he finds what he is looking for, whatever that is. Stay safe, both of you.
Mateus is so cool, and Rick, you’re such a good listener and interviewer!
Dá-lhe Mateus! Orgulho e alegrias que estás de volta! Que legal essa entrevista! Way to go Rick! Awesome!
Rick
You are such a good interviewer. You set up an open ended question and just sit back and let him flow. Great interview. My grandkids will be watching this 50 years from now.
What a sweet man. Very Gracious. We all can't have talent like Mateus, but we all play our part. Mr. Beato helps all of us, inspires us, he's a Great Blessing to us - just like he inspired Mateus to carry on. Thank you, Rick !
Mateus is such an influential and talented guitar player. What I really admire though is really how humble, and fascinated by music he is.
This just takes me back to the good 'ole days when people shared their feelings and admiration for each other and are humble yet awesome. This is why I love your channel, it's reality like John Denver on the Muppets-- good vibes all over the place.
I can’t believe he’s only 28! He has so much wisdom and feeling in his playing. I can’t wait to hear how he sounds in 10 years!
humility and greatness.....a great combination. This guy is a breath of fresh air
The guy is so humble for the talent that he has, I’ll have to start following him just to see how his style grows, progress’s and blossoms even more
Que orgulho de ser brasileiro e campo-grandense. Parabéns Mateus!
@Strato 765 ainnn imagine not judging people based on their political beliefs
@Strato 765 o que caralhos isso tem a ver com o que o cara disse? kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
O antibolsonarismo é um sintoma quase que corrosivo na cabeça de alguns. rs
I remember having country guitar class with Mateus and he was always so humble and nice. He’s a beast
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 …
Rick , great episode, like many others... You are being watched all over the world and your thoughtful and interesting contribution to music is just priceless. Greetings from Poland sir :) !
Mateus' humility, for being the monster player that he is, is awesome! And you Rick, God Bless you for inspiring him to put his amazing talent out there for us all to enjoy and get inspiration from!
Everyone… by now, has to really realize… that Rick is changing the World of Music? I mean… seriously. Rick is a “great” influence on music. I can only imagine what wisdom & compassion Rick rammed into his ears. Thank you Universe and TH-cam for these great guitar players and new friends 😃
Tell that to those blocking his videos!
@@mitchweiner So true
just hope we can get back to more music with instruments.... all this fake singing beeps and whirrs is garbage
Rick seems to be a nice guy on the screen. The story with Mateus shows he's not faking it :)
Man you got to love him he is so humble and honest guy , great musician so inspirational
What an amazing guy. So modest and such an incredible player! And most importantly, you can see he enjoys himself :)
What a cool and humble dude.
Love this interview. And it shows us that even the super talented musicians can go through periods of lost or muted inspiration. Thankfully Mateus got it back, and we’re all the better for it. Humbling and inspiring all over again.
A friend sent me a link to Mateus playing 'Don't Dream It's Over' a few years ago. I remember just being blown away at his sense of melody and dynamics. Such a clean player. He has only gotten better. Such an inspiration.
What a refreshing interview. Rick, thank you for saving Mateus from his funk and allowing him return with a spark.
That was beautiful!!!
He's not wrong Rick! What you are doing through this channel is SO important. The knowledge you share, the opinions of someone with years in the industry and someone who genuinely loves music, as well as introducing us to so many inspirational artists that we may have never had the chance to listen to...
Rock on, Rick!!
Such a great, honest, and emotional interview. Any passionate person who has had moments of “I’m not enjoying what I love” can identify with Mateus.
Great interview. Love how Rick and Mateus are REAL people.
OMG!!!!!!! MATEUSÃO voando, cara!!! He's a freaking monster on guitar!!
Rick is just the coolest guy, it is such a blessing to be doing what he loves, but he is also quick to jump and help his fellow musician and fellow human. Right on
It appears Rick has perfect interview pitch as well - knowing when to ask questions and when to listen. Two gentle souls. Made my morning.
Great Interview! He's such a huge inspiration to this generation of guitar players.
Had to pinch myself to know I wasn't dreaming! Stellar words! Mateus is an inspiration :) Thank you Rick for your heart and all that you do for the community! Forever in your debt for all that you've given so freely
Great conversation. Thank you, Rick...for the interview and for "listening" to Mateus when he felt lost.
Rick's efforts to keep contemporary instrumental music alive are priceless.
WOW!! This video brought me to tears; I can see that Rick SAVED Mateus life, because obviously he went into a deep depression that could had ended up costing his beautiful and creative life. Thank you Rick, for helping these wonderful and delicate creative souls out there. You ARE indeed such a huge pillar on which young and struggling musicians can lean on and find solace and force to keep the rest of us, mere mortals, entertained. Greetings from Méjico!!
You're an excellent interviewer Rick - you ask quality, interesting and relevant questions, then you let the guest talk. A lost art ;)
Totally agree.
