I love when 2 men of great skill can be humble enough to look at each other and humbly laugh at themselves together when someone of even greater skill comes along and blows their work out of the water
It's not humility it's real confidence. A consistent trust/belief in their own abilities without having to compare themselves to others to feel proficient.
Most extremely high level musicians tend to be pretty humble. It's because in order to get to that level, you have to be EXTREMELY critical of your own playing so you can iron out every single imperfection and constantly get better. You get used to hearing all of your own mistakes. Musicians at that level are never satisfied with their own level of playing and are always striving to get better. Getting good at an instrument is an incredibly humbling experience.
@@nickcage3703 Exactly. Even Allan Holdsworth would sometimes _apologize_ to the audience at his shows after playing the most incredible solo you've ever heard.
@@dragnofsI never got how so many electric guitarist used a pick so clean. The feel I get and speed of 5 fingers is irreplaceable when you learn this way
He understands it, he smiled. They enjoy his smooth fast playing and are just blown away. And bump their hands together with a look in their eyes like a: "see, I told you, he's a guitar genius", b: "Yes, no doubt, he is".

@@percyvolnar8010 Im not from the US, actualy Ive never been there hehe but yep, I can tell for shure what you say. Here in Chile ive meet musicians that should have been long time ago playin in huge arenas.
@@Ciruelatron yeah so essentially Matteo in a nutshell is it seems like he studied classical guitar for like a week and then said fuck it I want an electric but never actually studied picking (or classical for that matter) ever again😂 all the classical guys (as well as flamenco) have the finger chops he does. Leagues above tbh but he just has his own style that’s incredible and obviously came from barely learning classical and then just going from there lmao
I forced myself to never use a pick so that I'd learn to only use my fingers. So thankful I decided to do this, I feel finger picking can be much more versatile
@quetzalcoatlz do you think violinists ever decide they will never learn how to use a bow because they think it will make them a more versatile musician? Delusional...
nah they're not trolling him, they're more thrilled and delighted by how he can play so well without using one of the more fundamental components of guitaring.
The cool thing about guitar is that just when it appears as though the instrument has reached its potential, somebody always comes along and blows the roof off!
@@Simon-xi8tbYou can't become world-class without practice, but practice will only go so far if you don't have aptitude. Talent is real and it's absurd to think otherwise.
Man Rick just kills me i love this man .He is and gets so excited .Im so certai. He treats his guests amazing ,so awesome getting to do what you love and never really thought would be obtainable happy for him to have such a fun life .
@@destructiondecaydesirei like fingerpicking more bc there’s more tones in your thumb than with a pick like if you use the meaty part of your thumb you can get a real “dull” sound which can be good for bass notes and then you can use your nail to pluck or the boney side of your thumb and those will make a more sharp sound there’s just more options and variety with finger picking to me
why? learning to play without a pick has always been a thing. a pick usually comes later. I've never learnt how to play with a pick and I started playing 30 years ago. The guy is absolutely brilliant, but he's not a pioneer because he doesn't use a pick

Go for it
*It's a bouncy* in a thick Italian accent
haha. good observation.
Literal visible frustration 🤣

Love watching this kind of stuff.
Shorts can sometimes send you into an abyss.
Then a gem comes around and restoes your faith in humanity
so true
I love the moment between Rick and Mateus when Matteo does that crazy finger picking run. Such a wholesome laugh together ❤
Stereo laughing😂.
They laugh, but he's like - I'm funny like how? 😡
It’s difficult to learn to use a guitar pick when you have played five decades without. Nevertheless I’m doing it.❤
Indeed ❤😂
Yeah bc how amazing he is without a pick.
This is a top tier short
EVH the goat!!! Type in:
Eddie Van Halen solo 1976
And click on a video of black and white guitar, its better recording.
The way he played it without the pick was so fluid ❤
Seeing Mateus smile is like once in a blue moon😅
Mateo is the foreign exchange student who makes everyone laugh without understanding why

Not really despair, though. I mean, why _despair?_

yeah its like, "his talent is ridiculous"
What a wonderful sound and a great talent. Bravo.
Watched this video 100 times just to hear him say bouncy x 😂❤
As a classical guitarist, this makes me feel represented! I also play with my fingers only and own a pick just because.

The quick Michaelangelo insert is so clever and hilarious!
That sounds amazing. Now THAT is "bouncy" 😂
The mom is so kind. I love her.
Fucking impressive dude insane

Playing with a pick makes you worse, for sure. Eric Johnson's old video on different attacks changed my approach forever.

“Pick up a pick” … this universe man

Like listening to a child's laughter. Everything about it is organic and expansive.
30 years player and lifetime music lover. This kid is a phenom.
It almost seems like he thinks they're laughing at him but really they're laughing at how unbelievably good he is.
That freeze frame hit me😂😂
Watching Beato laughing is priceless 😅
He is already good with the pick and will be better than most guitarists if he practices for an hour or so.
That run alone makes him better than the majority of guitar players.
He would be better than most guitarists even without ever using his right hand at all.
Are picks necessary? I think callouses are better
