What makes him so amazing is that his phenomenal technique is not for its own sake but is totally at the service of the overall composition. Pure greatness!
This was exactly why I was waiting with my comments... Doing a cover is something, but improvising in a total other universum and then composing that album, proved it for me. This is a complete new level.
Only a clarification , the bassman in Drop D Song is Stefano India. He often sounds with Matteo in live events. They are very talented and special musicians. Matteo and his Friends are unique.
What strikes me about him is his incredible, flawless precision. Both in "melody" and in "timing". He does warp speed licks, tasteful and melodically rich and complex, and you can hear every single note with such clarity that he doesn't even seem to play THAT fast, and he always ends "in the perfect place at the perfect time". Flawlessly. As if it was the easiest thing in the world. I like his playing and his music. See you next time!
Matteo Mancuso is a bad boy. The thing that jumped out to me is how steeped he is in the Jazz, Bebop language. After watching videos of him I played some Charlie Parker, and he sounds just like him. Other times he reminds me of John Coltrane. He's able to translate the same fluidity that Bebop saxophonists have, to the guitar--which only few guitarists can accomplish. Amazing.
Sounds like a young Al DiMeola, full of testosterone and serious chops. He’s like I bet you can’t play this, and no, you can’t. Get into bossa nova instead.
I'm italian and I've seen Matteo live last week not far from where I live. I have to say the whole concert was mind blowing, and even older people in the audience were in awe even though some sections of many songs are a lot on the heavy side, almost metalish. Seeing him (and his two bandmates) live is really and experience AT LEAST comparable to seeing Steve Vai or similar Gods of guitar, I can assure you that.
He is so damn versatile. Love the fact that he likes all genres and explores most of them and incorporates a bit of everything. He is an amazing player. Few guitarists have spoken to me in a musical way. The entire band is purely amazing. Always something in his playing for everyone.
Three years ago we reacted to a group of Italian musicians playing a cover of The Chicken by Jaco Pastorius. The guitarist from that group, Matteo Mancuso, is releasing a new album next month, and I react to the first video. Does he still rock three years later? "I wanted to do a tribute to my first blues-rock influences, with a healthy amount of prog elements that I absorbed during my musical journey." -MM
The bass player in this video actually is Stefano India, a professional musician with several conservatory degrees, I know him personally- Mancuso as well has conservatory degree and is the son of a Sicilian well known guitarist.
Matteo in interviews also seems to have NO ego at all- a hallmark of the best of the best. And, he seems to have been well raised by loving parents....my hopes are with him!
Couldn't agree more: egoless, like the best of the best are. They know very well their talent is a gift. But they (happily!) do put in the hours of work that it takes to express and develop that talent. Amazing. @@lopezb
This young man is so unique, and well-versed and proficient in so many styles that he weaves together; rock, jazz, acoustic finger style, whatever. As Al Dimeola said, the kid is a sponge, soaking up a wide range of music and coming up with his own niche.
Tone, skill, speed, precision and originality. All in one. The whole band has it. Best I've ever heard and probably the best I ever will. I'm glad I've lived long enough to enjoy this phenomenon.
@@UnhingedReactions No doubt, his father was a classical guitarist of which he learned amazing the when you stir it all up you have the best to ever come along as well his tone is amazing this is another sign of a truly great guitarist.
Yeah thanks for the great review, made me like it all over again. He is an astounding musician and the other players around him are also fabulous. It’s great to think that all those great fusion musicians of earlier times planted these seeds and they’re coming to fruition with these new talents.
Quando ascolto Matteo vedo la nuova rivoluzione musicale. Il suono della sua chitarra è fenomenale oltre ad aver creato questo album. Oggi il numero della chitarra mondiale.
My God, Matteo is so good and the music is absolutely top notch. It's fun to hear every note X times. I just can't get enough of his music! He beats everything in the music industry.
Bravo Matteo👏.. brilliant, as Vai said, he's next level. All those countless hours and hard work paid off, good on you, you deserve it, I wish you all the best👍
It's not just the incredible speed and perfect execution (and I mean PERFECT) but it's the composition work. he creates music my ears want to hear.. I can not say the same thing about most people who can play with this level of proficiency... People love to talk up Tim Henson for example, incredible player. His composition work is not bad. But it's not phenomenal. Same for people like Steve Vai or lesser known but incredibly technical player, Shaun Lane. These guys are/were amazing talent, but...The community of people who play guitar are always listening with biased ears, when they hear complex pieces they like the composition work. But it's the non-guitar players who want to keep pressing play that really make or break you as a musician history will remember. That's true of all genres, going back to the great composers.... Matteo is unbelievably good. His compositions delate the ears. He sets a new bar.
You can always tell when what you are listening to is almost beyond words. It just makes you smile. That’s all you can do! Trying to describe it is virtually impossible.
The guitar is not important, everything is in the gift, practice and practice, he is classical guitar player with fingers and he reveals new approach on electric guitar, every single note is hearing clearly and accurate. I can say Bravo maestro Matteo
Uno dei pochi motivi per cui mi dispiace di avere quasi sessant'anni, è che potrò gustare solo una parte della musica che questi meravigliosi artisti vorranno regalare al mondo. Ma finché ci sono... me la godo insieme a voi 🙂
@@michelangelomartini9254 Ciò che può rappresentare la bravura che tanti chitarristi tengono non è da mettere in discussione e per rimanere su ciò che dici certamente sono d'accordo. Quindi ti dico tanto per rimanere in Italia io amo moltissimo Dodi Battaglia, definito da una giuria europea il migliore chitarrista d'Europa e questo qualche anno fa. Poi vi è l'amico Luca Colombo, Varini, Chicco Gussoni, Braido e tanti altri che sono straordinari. Ciò detto, nessuno di questi e come Matteo Mancuso è non mi riferisco alla bravura ma su ciò che è la diversità tecnica e approccio con la chitarra in maniera generale di Matteo. Poi per ciò che riguarda Il fare la musica migliore può solo essere un fattore soggettivo, ed è anche vero che con tre note si può ottenere tantissimo per espressione, dinamica e gusto. Ciò che invece intendo su Matteo, è quello che bisogna considerare lui per ciò che alla sua età sa fare, e che è unico nel genere. Quindi bisogna apprezzarne le sue altissime qualità che è in grado di esprimere a 360 gradi. Lui è un chitarrista che sa fare di certo la qualsiasi con quella che è la sua tecnica, e che certamente nessuno al suo livello in questo periodo sa fare, ed è anche un chitarrista di altissimo livello di cui molti suoi colleghi famosi di livello internazionale ne parlano benissimo e lo definisco genio . Quindi, per quanto mi riguarda trovare uno che in maniera generale si sa esprimere musicalmente con la chitarra, come lui non dico che sia del tutto impossibile, ma quasi. Fidati lui nel sul campo chitarristico farà la storia.
When you command such a wealth of technical abilities and speed it might happen that you neglect musical originality but not in Mancuso‘s case. It‘s a very nice blend of breathtaking technicality and taste.
I do not know the The Language you Musicians talk about, but I do know Sounds Great. Matteo makes sure the Bass gets his Time to Shine. And Matteo knows my last name from Italy
Thanks for this reaction. To be honest up until yesterday I had not heard of let alone heard Matteo Mancuso, but I have now and I just can't believe how good he is. I am already going to buy his album. If you haven't heard his song that is a tribute to Jeff Beck, it is awesome. Thanks and keep up the great work.
Well he is amazing, but of course it's all subjective, so what is it specifically about his playing that floats your boat? Catches your ear?? Let us know, and thanks for watching. 🤘
@@UnhingedReactions The bassist from The Chicken video Riccardo Oliva @riccardo_oliva is on the second track "Samba Party" ruclips.net/video/dbOeGx69I9k/видео.html
Yeah, I keep bugging Beato when he goes nutzo over someone else and he still avoids Matteo. Maybe Rick 'can't handle it'...???😁 Waiting on my Matteo album too.
The vinyl Matteo album is backordered everywhere. I finally downloaded the 320k mp3 and converted it to wav. The kid plays everything so well...l'm a fan for life.
Wow! Great review Ed, I need to say that up front. What an awesome sound this guy can produce. I don't know about you Ed, I'm not sure which guitarist to associate with you in what I'm going to say, but as I was listening to this, not the sound, but the feeling I was getting was like when I heard Jimi Hendrix for the first time, or Jimmy Page. They blew me away, just as this guy is doing. I was trying to think of what guitarist I would substitute with Hendrix, if I was going to try and do the same relationship for you. Maybe Steve Vai, or Joe Satriani? Anyway, all that aside, that was incredible.
@@Dougwarren69 @UnhingedReactions I didn't think of SRV, and should have. By the way, Hi Doug👋, nice to see you pop up again. It makes sense that you two would have been blown away by the same guys. I just remember way back, we didn't even have FM radio, but hearing Jimmy or Jimi just changed my whole world as I knew it. I mean before them, the music I got on AM radio was like The Archies, or Mamas and Papas. 😆 Not exactly electrifying, LOL.
@@Dougwarren69 thanks Doug. I really took to you guys right from the beginning. It felt like we were all cut from the same cloth , even though we were a generation apart.
Matteo Mancuso's technique is a hybrid from his childhood training as a classical guitarist with great right hand technique, and later a love for jazz. His gear is primarily Yamaha, namely the Revstar guitar and Helix modeller. Another popular RUclips guitarist named R____ S_____ dissed the Revstar about a year ago and the reaction was swift. Up came the links to Mancuso vids dextrously shredding his Revstars and Pacificas. Yamaha supported him early and he is starting to pay them back with loyalty that perfectly illustrates playing at such incredibly talented levels demands an exemplary instrument. I bought a Revstar Pro, in part inspired by Mancuso and the top line Japanese custom shop quality (lots of great reviews out there) at an affordable price compared to the average Gibson Les Paul with sometimes questionable QC. I can see Mancuso having to eventually insure his hands. 😉
I know I already commented, but I just got up, and i was listening to this again this morning with my coffee, and something I didn't pick up on in my first time around is that I can hear the EVH influence in there, especially around the 5 1/2 - 6 minute mark. I am imagining he was a fan of EVH's. It still hit me like it did the first time though. Great review bud. 🫶✌
Sweet!!! I've long been a fan of Steve Morse and the Dixie Dregs, and this piece is evocative of some of what I've really enjoyed in the past from Steve Morse and the dregs.
@@UnhingedReactions wow... what a treat! "What If" ranks up there as what I would consider one of the most amazing masterworks of progressive rock / jazz fusion in music history. But, that's just my humble opinion.
I have seen Matteo 3 times, two different amazing bands, I will go again everytime he will be around my area, I never get boared of him like I was at certain concerts of Malmsteen for example... Matteo's father did a great job on his kid, wich is not easy, my son does'nt play, I have 35 guitars... Matteo is a miracle guy
Hello, just a clarification: here the bassist is Stefano India, who typically plays with Giuseppe Bruno at the drums. And, by the way, I had the pleasure to see them playing in my region 2 weeks ago; on stage they are even more incredible. I'm a fan of many guitar virtuosi, but I've never seen something like that. Astonishing! 😮
Though I’ve been in tune with Matteo’s works, my jaw still drops to the floor with his blazing fretworks. There are no words to describe his playing style. Todays adjectives don’t do him any justice. I guess I’ll just have to say it, he’s AMAZING and INCREDIBLE. 🎸🔥👍 (And to be fair, his band mates are nothing short of amazing themselves.)
Bass player is not Ricardo Oliva neither (who I adore as Matteo) but Stefano India. Matteo has a hand for his bassists and drummers... I'm glad to see that Matteo still plays with Ricardo on bass also.
absurdo de técnica! Minha preocupação era sobre questões composicionais, se sua grandeza como compositor seria paralelo à de guitarrista e fico feliz em reconhecer sua capacidade como compositor. Muito talento e aptidão
I'm getting his album on vinyl and put it right next to the other guitar god albums I have. He is so damn good, as well as everybody he plays with. The Samba Party song has different lineup. That's a more jazzier piece than this and I like it a lot.
This is not by accident 👉all is true this young old heavy powerful"clean"👌🍃handed man is indeed "MSTERPIECE"👈&your program so sweet cause you talk from inside of our heart ,also you don't speak too much ☝so i wana say he is"gift"✋from dear 🍃GOD,i'm sure☄👑🌸🌹💖🍃🕊😍😘💛💚💙💜🎶🎶🎶🎵🎵♩🙏⚓🕊 🕊 🕊 🕊 🕊🕉👑☝
What makes him so amazing is that his phenomenal technique is not for its own sake but is totally at the service of the overall composition. Pure greatness!
He is not only a virtuoso, he is a Composer and an improviser, and that’s make the difference👌🏻…
He's the full package! Definitely one to watch!
Have you ever composed something epic? Something that will leave an imprint that contributes to the music and not just to the freak shows?

Bass player is not Ricardo Oliva neither (who I adore as Matteo) but Stefano India. Matteo has a hand for his bassists and drummers... I'm glad to see that Matteo still plays with Ricardo on bass also.
Best fresh guitar I've heard since a certain person named Jimi all those years ago.
Come on now, there must have been someone in between?? Thanks for watching. 🤘
oh i think i know where i heard something similar, it's Outlaws - Green Grass and ... something
absurdo de técnica! Minha preocupação era sobre questões composicionais, se sua grandeza como compositor seria paralelo à de guitarrista e fico feliz em reconhecer sua capacidade como compositor. Muito talento e aptidão
Once I heard MM - I knew Einstein had it wrong in E = mc²- it's the m² that gives me energy.
Nice one! :-)
Fabuloso!
No trio has sounded this good since the best days,of Rush. Shit. Man.
Mancuso è un talento assoluto. Fantastico.
Siamo completamente d'accordo.🤘
The bassist is Stefano D'india
Grande Matteo🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Please follow the Matteo Mancuso’s evolution! Thanks
i would suggest when on tour matteo should bring both bass players and both drums players cause that is what he uses 2 drums and 2 bass's
He sounds like Miles! Wow!
the caterpillar became a butterfly
Check out Joscho Stephan, an incredible German Gypsy Jazz Guitarist!
he help us listen to song
I'm getting his album on vinyl and put it right next to the other guitar god albums I have. He is so damn good, as well as everybody he plays with. The Samba Party song has different lineup. That's a more jazzier piece than this and I like it a lot.
good idea, vinyl it will be!
