Mateus Asato, the Brazilian guitarist, composer, and musical innovator who is celebrated for redefining modern guitar artistry, has released his first official single, “Cryin’” today. The song will be on his forthcoming debut album, due out in early 2026.
About the release, Masato says, “‘Cryin’’is my emotional celebration of life — the first act of being human and the sound of joy, fear, and love all at once. It’s a reminder that life is full of emotions, vulnerability, and movement, and you’re free to feel it your own way.”
Born in Campo Grande, Brazil, Asato began playing guitar at age nine and quickly developed a soulful, melodic style that blends technical mastery with deep emotional expression. After moving to Los Angeles to attend the Musicians Institute, he graduated with top honors and received the Outstanding Guitar Player of the Year award.
His expressive playing and viral Instagram performances propelled him to international fame, earning millions of followers and recognition as one of the most influential guitarists of his generation. Asato has toured and recorded with global superstars including Tori Kelly, Jessie J, and Bruno Mars, performing at venues such as Tokyo Dome and the Grammy Awards as part of Mars’s Silk Sonic band.
Mateus has been named among Guitar World’s Top 10 Guitarists of the Decade and Total Guitar’s Top 3 Guitarists in the World Today. Beyond his technical prowess, he is revered for bringing lyrical storytelling to the instrument — bridging genres from pop and R&B to instrumental fusion — and inspiring a new generation of players worldwide.

Julien’s Auctions today announced the unveiling of 18 bass guitars from Adam Clayton’s extraordinary personal collection in a first-ever exhibition in Ireland titled “Played, Worn, & Torn Featuring The Adam Clayton Collection.”
The exclusive three-week exhibition celebrating the U2 bassist and this collection of 18 iconic bass guitars is open to the public at The Museum of Style Icons in Newbridge, Co Kildare, Ireland from today until November 9th.
Following the exclusive three-week exhibition run in Ireland, the collection will head to Nashville where it will be auctioned at the industry’s most anticipated music memorabilia event of the year “PLAYED, WORN, AND TORN,” taking place over two days - Thursday, November 20th and Friday, November 21st 2025 - at the Musicians Hall of Fame & Museum in the historic Municipal Auditorium and online at juliensauctions.com.
Experience the legendary bass-playing journey of Adam Clayton asJulien’s, the industry-leading music memorabilia auction house, in partnership with the bass icon and co-founding member of one of the greatest rock and roll bands of all time, U2, brings together 18 phenomenal axes from his personal collection at The Museum of Style Icons, home to the world’s finest collections of style, fashion and pop culture artifacts. For the first time ever, the largest curated collection of Clayton’s guitars will be exhibited in U2’s native Ireland.
Adam Clayton said – “I’m fortunate enough to have owned many wonderful instruments in my life and I have amassed a very personal collection of basses over the last 40 years. They have all become favourites for one reason or another, a reminder of a particular tour or recording session. I return to them time and time again, it’s a very special relationship, I can’t really explain it…
My only regret is that I don’t get to play them all as often as I would like, a musical instrument needs time and attention… I’ll be sad to see these basses go but this is an opportunity to give each and every one of them a new home in the care of a new owner. And maybe they can become someone else's favourite.”
This remarkable collection of Adam Clayton's illustrious basses, stage-played through the different eras and continents of U2's record-breaking globe-spanning tours, is set to make history once again in this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to potentially own a piece of the 22-time Grammy Award-winning artist and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer’s legacy. Over 20 items from Adam Clayton’s personal collection, including music instruments, gear, memorabilia and more, will be offered for the first time at auction, with a portion of the proceeds benefiting MusiCares, the leading music charity supporting the health and well-being of the music community.

Supercool Pedals has announced the eleventh pedal in their growing lineup: The Cutback – a versatile preamp-style overdrive pedal inspired by the legendary DOD 250 and the golden era of 1980s Australian surf culture.
Carefully designed to deliver a wide array of sounds from warm preamp tones, natural amp-like breakup, all the way to searing distortions, The Cutback is a perfect catch-all drive pedal for any guitarist, no matter the genre of music or style of playing. The Cutback boasts two selectable gain modes: 0.01% for dynamic boosts and responsive overdrives, and 8% for more saturation and intense distortions, as well as a carefully-tuned active 3-band EQ for subtle or dramatic tone shaping.
Developed in collaboration with Blood Brothers Brewing, The Cutback launches alongside the Cutback Aussie Style Ginger Beer — a limited-edition brew sharing the pedal’s name, design, and adventurous spirit. Together, the two celebrate the art of sound, sun, and brewing with a shared sense of surf-inspired fun.
The Cutback highlights include:
Based on the iconic DOD 250 overdrive/preamp circuit
Dual GAIN modes (0.01% and 8%) for low or high distortion modes
Active 3-band EQ (LOW, MID, HIGH) for comprehensive tone shaping
Wide array of gain uses, from preamp, boost, overdrive, and distortion
Captivating and nostalgic 1980’s Surf Design
Glows in the dark for maximum radness!
True Bypass switching with standard 9v center negative power supply
Designed and assembled in Canada
