      @@robertdefex3439 I have to strongly disagree with your statement. Even his technic is very personal (he's not playing in the flamenco or classical style as I could read it, inspired from it but it's something else and it's not just a trick, it gives him this phrasing so peculiar, extremely clear, that he's got).
      He already has his own style (even if he's also capable to interpret others' music with feeling) and I'm really looking forward what he's going to create in the next years.
      But as impressive his technical skills are, it's everything but shredding, it's always dedicated to the music and phrasing, I followed him for a couple of year now and I will probably be amazed for decades by his feeling and phrasing,

    @jaykarahan6256 Год назад +37

    As an aficionado of good guitar playing and student of music theory and composition at university, I am astonished by this amazing young and bright talent. I was totally floored back in 1971 when I discovered British guitar phenom John McLaughlin (after being initially introduced to Page, Beck, Clapton and Hendrix), but after hearing this highlight reel of Matteo I’m back on the floor again and struggling to get back up to catch my breath! This young artist has nowhere to go but up, and there are few out there now who come close to his mastery over theory, fretboard knowledge, various styles, phrasing, acute sense of the music around him (pocket sense?) and most important, musicality. I hesitate to compare MM to anyone alive or passed, but I’m looking for some gravity and center here in trying understanding his unique approach to the instrument and idea execution: I start with Larry Carlton, probably one of the greatest masters of clean, melodic phrasing ever, and add Guthrie Govan for shear effortlessness, virtuosity and imagination. Surely with the Flamenco training MM has had he has now expanded the instrument to a full two-handed standard that few will be able to emulate. My question: has MM begun to explore world music and other theories of music as McLaughlin has? I hope he will as I see music as a universal language for him to access and utilize with theories from this wider universe. It would almost be too much to ask for!

      He's probably not as strong (yet) as either of those players, nor at the level of Al Dimeola in his prime, nor close to Paco who was also of course fingerstyle. But he is fantastic, and beyond the technical ability aspect, one of the most musical players out there now. I'd put him at almost the level of Guthrie (Govan). He is something special no doubt.

Sure, I would never go so far as to say so-and-so is better than this other guy since it's all just about personal preference, but I think he stands clearly on his own just in terms of incredible technical ability and speed combined with amazing feel, and being able to play across seemingly infinite genres and I don't think it's possible to confuse him with another person. His finger picking while sweeping totally blows my mind though. Edit: Sorry, guess I didn't really clarify this point, when I say nobody else can do what he does, I mean that everyone has their own unique way they play. In that regard, nobody else does what he does.
