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.
@@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.
@@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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.:)
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.
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.
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.
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!!!!!!
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.
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.
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 😃
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.
The way how Rick handled this interview was amazing. Matheus starts it so introvert and a little uncomfortable, and soon after he was so light, eyes on eyes, with a smile on his face.
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!
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.
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+
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 :) !
It would certainly be nice if we had musicians of this calibre in the mainstream, however the market is dominated by women who are dominated by the children. Kids want the Beib and Tpain or whatever
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!!!
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!
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.
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!
Duude, what's going on these last few days on TH-cam with so much stuff related to brazilian music/musicians!? First, Rick Beato was interviewed by Nelson Faria, a phenomenal brazilian guitar player with an also awesome TH-cam channel. Then, a couple days ago, Charles Cornell released a whole video essay about the origins of Bossa Nova, a full history lesson on that! And now Mateus being interview by Rick!? What an amazing moment to be brazilian! Love from Brazil, Rick! Mateus is a blessing, so sad that he isn't as revered in here as he is in the US, for example. Such a phenomenal guitar player, he should be showing up all around TV shows and all that here!
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.
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.
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
Mr. Mautaus and YOU Helped me so much! I am 68 and have been playing for three years. I am SO CONCERNED that I will not live long enough to get semi-good. To hear this young man talk about sucking and getting better lets me know it is OK. I will never be completely happy with my performance. RICK, YOU SHOULD INTERVIEW AN OLDER PERSON WHO IS NEWLY LEARNING! I love this channel! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
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!
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.
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.
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!
Man, the progression change at 35:31 were such great change of vibes. Mateus is really really good in putting emotion in his playing while keeping it alive throughout. Love his playing and his hair he is goated! 🙌❤
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 (!) 🕉 🎉
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 🥂

@@jonunderscore He came from a rather large family. Odds are, one of them had to turn out good.
We didn't need another reason to love you, Rick, but here it is. You helped the world get Mateus Asato back!
@@Wizardofgosz It's literally what the first part of the video is about.
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.

Mateus represents the best from Brazil: Talent, humility and a friendly personality 🇧🇷💥
funny cause kiko the above comment is exactly the same and INSANELY talented
Him and Kiko

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.
Agreed. Thank you so much Rick

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

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.
Rick is so well versed, he knows exactly what questions musicians want to know the answers to!
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.
totally agree
Rick's a legend for just reaching out to Mateus when he was feeling down and overwhelmed.
The best therapist EVER. You have no idea. :D
This isn’t the first Beato interview I knew about 5 minutes in I was going to watch several times
His playing on Polyphia's song Drown is just unreal. Great interview between 2 pretty chill dudes
Such a nice and likeable guy. Wish him every success in the world
Love this! Mateus really hasn’t done interviews. So important.
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.

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.
Happy to see Mateus around here! He's such an awesome guitarist
Hugs from Brazil ❤️🇧🇷
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..
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!

The way how Rick handled this interview was amazing. Matheus starts it so introvert and a little uncomfortable, and soon after he was so light, eyes on eyes, with a smile on his face.
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!
Both these men are just legends. So humle and honest and they deserve the best for making our lives better with their music, wisdom and inspiration.
As a fan of both musicians, I’m really happy to see them together. Wish the video was a day long😅
You're a treasure Rick. Mateus has the most honest beaming soul, he's obviously an empath.
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.
Amazing and touching interview. Great content as always.
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+
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 :) !
Rick... please please produce Mateus and be his mentor. You are the perfect human creative gateway to his humbleness. He deserves it so much.
It would certainly be nice if we had musicians of this calibre in the mainstream, however the market is dominated by women who are dominated by the children. Kids want the Beib and Tpain or whatever
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!!!
Mateus playing insane licks.
Beato mezmerized.
Mateus finishes and says, "like that."
Beato :-|
What a cool and humble dude.
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!
OMG!!!!!!! MATEUSÃO voando, cara!!! He's a freaking monster on guitar!!
Mateus is such an influential and talented guitar player. What I really admire though is really how humble, and fascinated by music he is.
I love Mateus' vibe, so calm. Also credits to Rick for his MAD skill as a listener!
Rick is the best. He gave Mateus comfort and advice during a tough time.
What a nice and God blessed guitarist! ❤️🎸😊
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
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!
You're an excellent interviewer Rick - you ask quality, interesting and relevant questions, then you let the guest talk. A lost art ;)
Totally agree.
De Campo Grande, no Mato Grosso do Sul, para o mundo. Sensacional! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
humility and greatness.....a great combination. This guy is a breath of fresh air
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.
Duude, what's going on these last few days on TH-cam with so much stuff related to brazilian music/musicians!? First, Rick Beato was interviewed by Nelson Faria, a phenomenal brazilian guitar player with an also awesome TH-cam channel. Then, a couple days ago, Charles Cornell released a whole video essay about the origins of Bossa Nova, a full history lesson on that! And now Mateus being interview by Rick!? What an amazing moment to be brazilian! Love from Brazil, Rick! Mateus is a blessing, so sad that he isn't as revered in here as he is in the US, for example. Such a phenomenal guitar player, he should be showing up all around TV shows and all that here!
sounded like joe pass at 25:00
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.
Rick's efforts to keep contemporary instrumental music alive are priceless.
For such a massive talent, Mateus is such a humble guy. How refreshing!
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.
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.
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
Mr. Mautaus and YOU Helped me so much! I am 68 and have been playing for three years. I am SO CONCERNED that I will not live long enough to get semi-good. To hear this young man talk about sucking and getting better lets me know it is OK. I will never be completely happy with my performance. RICK, YOU SHOULD INTERVIEW AN OLDER PERSON WHO IS NEWLY LEARNING! I love this channel! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
I just love the look of pure, childlike joy on Rick's face, when he watches Mateus play...
Dá-lhe Mateus! Orgulho e alegrias que estás de volta! Que legal essa entrevista! Way to go Rick! Awesome!
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!
What an amazing guy. So modest and such an incredible player! And most importantly, you can see he enjoys himself :)
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.
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.
Rick seems to be a nice guy on the screen. The story with Mateus shows he's not faking it :)
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
Mateus is so cool, and Rick, you’re such a good listener and interviewer!
The folks I’ve met from Brazil are always so kind.
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.
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!
this guy is not just a virtuoso - he plays with such soul
Man you got to love him he is so humble and honest guy , great musician so inspirational
So humble.. make me feel happy for been Brazilian
Man, the progression change at 35:31 were such great change of vibes. Mateus is really really good in putting emotion in his playing while keeping it alive throughout.
Love his playing and his hair he is goated! 🙌❤
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 (!) 🕉 🎉
