You ain't seen nothin' yet. He's just warming up there. Matteo's been in my radar for a while. All the great players are gobsmacked by his brilliant musicianship and technique.
that young man is a monster!! Been following him for a year or so now, but still pretty new to me. But he can play pretty much anything with that technique. the future of guitar is in good hands!!
We cannot deny this young talent. Do not forget that he has been at the Palermo Conservatory with a Classis Guitar diploma. It is from there the technique he uses so well.
Nice that you've discovered Matteo Mancuso...he's absolutely amazing. You're in for a great exploration. Over the past 5 or 6 years Matteo has posted videos of him playing (revised) tunes by Larry Carlton, Weather Report, Jeff Beck, Brent Mason, The Chicken and so much more along with his own stuff. He also posted a version of You Really Got Me recently. Not only has he developed his own unique right hand fingerstyle, but his overall musicality is incredible. He recently participated in Steve Vai's Guitar clinic, and Vai, Al DiMeola, Eric Johnson, Bonomassa have all raved about him Plus...what you see him play on his videos he does in his live performances. Truly a groundbreaker for guitarists...
Every generation, a player comes along and shows us something new and special. We're witnessing that right now with this phenom from Italy. His take on the Eruption tremolo made my non-playing wife stop and take notice. Even she knew what she was seeing. Watching this kid over the next several years is going to be a treat.
Isn't he just something else. He knows his scales, arpeggios, and chords... and the continuity and flow in his lines is very studied... like Oscar Peterson and Charlie Parker. Guitar wise, I hear Eric Johnson, Shawn Lane, Scott Henderson, Mike Stern, Joe Pass, George Benson, and many others. He has come so far in a short time, and I'm sure we can expect even greater things to come. He started playing rather young. His father played classical, and so he assumed fingerstyle was it! He understands the bebop language and so rips through changes well. He seems to have a command of the gamut of guitaristic idioms. Big fan 😂.
Michael watch the Rick Beato interview. You will understand where he is coming from and who his influences are. I can hear Eric Johnson, Scott Henderson, Allan Holdsworth, EVH to name a few in his playing. Listening to his solo album one would never know he is playing with fingers on his right hand. I liked your video. This guy is blowing up in the guitar world. He’s coming to my town next week after the NAMM show. Already sold out gonna try and get in anyway. I’m in Los Angeles.
I had the pleasure of seeing him live in Hamburg Germany may 4th 2024, and it was exactly like I expected, totally mind-blowing. His band was also fantastic.
I'd recommend 'Drop D', a track off his solo album. I think it was the first track released from it. Bit more rock in style, but lots of dizzying playing for sure. I heard about him a year or so ago but I'm really getting into his playing now, and there's so much stuff online.
You know he's good when Steve Vai and Joe Bonamassa say that his playing is next level. Watch his live performances of You Really Got Me and Blues For John. My overall comments on his playing are nothing but good. Everyone focuses on his right hand tecnique, but his overall tecnique and phrasing on the fretboard is unmatched. Every note is clear, consistent, and concise. Zero slop whatsoever. I also love that he is unbelievably versatile. One second he's improvising over Giant Steps and the next second he's ripping apart a Van Halen song. In my opinion, he's gonna be one of the next big virtuosos.
Been following him for three or four years now. Check his trio performance of "the chicken." It's an earlier performance. I think he was 19 or 20 years old at the time. Incredible.
nope he's not for about 2-3 years about Matteo's Videos got like 50-60k views. When he released his album last summer it went to over 100k views, but if you seach matteo mancuso reactions you won't find alot of videos. You even heard this guy say that because Rick Beato talked about it he discovered Matteo - Well Matteo have been around for about 13 years now and some of us have known about him since he was a 14-16 year old kid - where he btw also played this stuff *LIVE*
you take it for granted that everyone must know one thing, well I tell you that in the USA they generally don't give a damn about European artists because they are the ones who export music and set trends.
Don’t know if he’s the goat, but if you hear Al di Meola and Steve Vai opinions about him, you can draw the conclusion that he’s not an ordinary talented guitarist
These YT guys monetizing from others talents is SO sad. Matteo is amazing ! the people “reacting”/critiquing are pointless and stealing. … “that run there eeh, I just love it, he’s raking though with all his fingers and thumb” Gee thanks. You’re welcome for the view.
There’s no right or wrong way to play the guitar all that matters is it sounds good , if your playing and everyone watching you is bobbing theirs heads than it’s success!!
At some point, we are going to have to talk about Matteo's physical attributes(the shape and size of his hands) and the string spacing on a guitar and how they relate to his technique. He is an exceptionally capable musician, but virtuosos of his sort are not unprecedented in the history of the musical tradition. The violin had Paganini. The piano had Art Tatum. The question I would like to address, is whether or not guitars can be optimized for a player's physical attributes in such a way that players can approach the fluidity of his technique. I think we need to look at classical players, flamenco players, and electric bass players to see musicians that are in a similar technical area. In terms of electric guitar, Matteo's technique is as revolutionary as Stanley Jordan's, but compared to virtuosos in classical, flamenco, or 6 string electric bass, it is not particularly surprising. John Williams has been considered the pinnacle of fingerstyle technique excellence for the better part of a century. I'd love to see Matteo and John Williams do a technical rundown.
Fun fact about Matteo, he doesn't actually know how to play with a pick, he had an interview where he was asked point blank, and his response was "I just feel like a pick is very bouncy so I don't use it." He has been fingerpicking everything since he started playing, he is absolutely the best finger pick guitarist to date.
Jazzy blues - what’s not to like? Fancy schmancy fingers mesmerise me. (Tracking backwards through your catalogue MJ. So I might even catch up with myself one day😁 Sweet✔️ first time hearing this young bloke. Gonna listen to some more for sure. 🙏🏽♥️
Check out Matteo and Al Di Meola or his interview with Rick Beato. Can you imagine what Zappa would've wrote for this dude? The Black Page would be sightreading practice. I wish I learned theory.
So by playing with proper classical techniques he doesn’t need to use his hands for muting but instead frees them up to play the music. That’s why it’s proper technique
Anyone who has studied knows that “some” notes can be played in several places but not all….there are 5 notes that can only be played in one spot…why are we talking about this?
Hey Mike Just got home from work (3rd day back after three weeks Holliday) I hope you are well man About to watch this vid (sorry I have a habit of wanting to comment to you before I have actually started or finished watching the clip even though you know I do watch everything to the end. Sooooo A second comment to follow l 😂🤣
Questo piccolo, semplice talentuoso chitarrista italiano ha impartito una lezione a tutto il mondo chitarristico...w l Italia...perdonate il campanilismo ma ci sta tutto 😂😂😂
It WAS pretty sweet Never heard of him bef this your vid 🤣😂🤣🤣😂… sorry I have no socks blown off recommendations. …. Hey I got a new bbq So when you come …. 😂🤣 You can prob tell just from the start of this clip to the end I’ve had like 4 Friday after work whiskey’s
Yeah, he sounds good and it looks effortless and easy how he plays guitar! If like analyzing techniques and style watch Marcin and the way he plays s guitar - complete other spectrum than mancuso here but astonishing and mind blowing. You never seen before, you never thought before it's possible to believe done with a guitar alone.
I haven't heard of him previously; I'm not the most savvy of folks. He sounds really clean and more "modern?" to my ears since my reference point is older blues and mid-century as a foundation. Definitely worth checking into more. Yo, the internet seems more fighty of late. There's so much divide and conquer mentality it seems. I have backed away from a lot in order to preserve my balance. Don't let the aggressive folks get you down. As always; be well.
It sure does. Sometimes I ignore the comments but then I miss comments from ppl I like like you….. I should’ve mentioned in the video that it doesn’t sound like he’s dedicated his life to the blues….more of an introduction…the way non blues guys play blues says a lot about their philosophy on music. This guy is respectful to the tradition while still pushing it to new territory…. The other piece I reacted to is crazy!
Goatness is ultimately determined subjectively by what the listener is looking to hear from a guitarrist, what they enjoys the most. Now granted, all goats must be technically above an objective limit, like Picasso was when he learned all the tweaks of anatomical drawing and other styles before he went cubist. I couldn't see goatness in Mateo, despite his obvious virtuosity, when I delight myself in stuff from John Frusciante.
Greg Howe is my former guitar teacher and friend, and I love his playing to death, but I think Matteo has him beat by a bit. Greg is a beast though, and an awesome human being.
Just watched Guthrie Govan video - he doesn't use his little finger at all...this is very limiting (typical of blues/rock guitarists - with the exceptions of Beck, Blackmore, Malmsteen).
@@marcchrys how can you realistically know that he doesn't use little finger at all. He may not use the same way Matteo uses but that's because he can alternate pick. now find out what Matteo doesn't do but Guthrie does.
@@marcchrys You obviously haven't watched more videos of Guthrie. He isn't a blues player, he is an all player, and definitely uses his pinky A LOT. Watch more videos.
why are you limiting the blues to one box.....there is 5 positions to play on each key center.....5 note scale .....5 positions.......dont tell people about just one position
he is very talented and he must have been studying a lot.. but music is a language and does not contain only scales and arpeggios.. the great piano , guitar, orchestra works and many more include phrasing . here we do have fantastic technique and very little phrasing .. maybe i am wrong.. SORRY
@@michaelgoyettemusic me am an almost nothing in this cosmos.. but music i say again is language . so think about it.. none of the great composers compose music inly out of scales and arpeggios.. not even during the classic period .. . but i tell you again this guy is more than fantastic.. and probably the best now on the planet on this style.. i enjoy listening to him sometimes.. stay safe
@@polyvioscharalambous281 I was kidding…. While you may be right about great pieces not being only scales and arpeggios….you’d also be hard pressed to find any great piece without scales or arpeggios since every melody is a scale or arpeggio is it not?
@@michaelgoyettemusic hi.. while every melody belongs to a scale (even using the atonal system we do have the semitone scale) melodies usually do not follow the scale notes order . except the real classical period where we do have many scales and arpeggios .. you se that was the period where technique needed to be expanded to comfort several pieces. and also in romantic period we do have many etudes which means the composers score many of them so that instrument players can advance there abilities ... in any case musicians like this guy are quite rare to be found ...
@@polyvioscharalambous281 I deal in modern music and Melodies usually have a lot of step movements and when they jump they almost always jump to a chord tone and if not they quickly resolve to one. Equals scales and arpeggios…..any disagreement is just semantics or maybe you see it differently but it doesn’t mean this doesn’t also exist.
Fret Wrap = Wooten Brothers. Reggie does it. It's why Victor does it. Been doing it way longer than the 2000s. The first people I saw use them got taught by Reggie in Nashville. They were bass players Reggie taught. They used thick hair ties. The Wootens may not have been first. But they were first I am aware of.
Yeah I do remember Wooten having something there…I was talking when I started seeing it everywhere….but then that wouldn’t have been until social media started.
GOAT is stretching it.........I ve heard many Guitarists sound like this for years....theres only 2 GOATS and thats Jimi Hendrix and Eddie Van Halen period.
i been playing guitar for 51 yrs..........ive seen my share of great musicians thru my life....he's a great guitar player... but he's not the GOAT @@michaelgoyettemusic
He is an incredible guitarist, but I find his style incredibly sterile and way too precise. It’s the imperfections that make it emotional and captivating for me….
Not a hater but personally just not a fan of Of lead being played on the electric guitar fingerstyle, I'm still trying to figure out if this is a coordinated effort to sell Yamaha guitars or not, are Vai and Beato on the payroll??? I'm being dead serious, I don't understand what Vai and Beato are mind blown over, just sounds like a classical guitarist playing an electric guitar to me, Also why are these people acting like they don't know who Victor Wooten is? this dude has a 3 finger technique For Bass forever, also i was mind blown by Gunthrie i dont get the Buzz around Matteo
@@michaelgoyettemusic I'm not a hater, the kid is not better than Gunthrie, I'm just speaking facts, Tosin had the decency to give credit to Victor Wooten for where his Thump technique came from, Everybody out here acting like they've never seen anyone play with 3 fingers before, Wooten been on that
@@michaelgoyettemusic I call bullshit anytime somebody acts like Victor Wooten doesn't exist, Also I look at the timeline Vai names this kid, Then a month later all The biggest guitar RUclips channels are putting out videos like "why are yamaha guitars overlooked?" or "Why don't guitar players seem to play yamaha" People like you are just too far behind to understand what modern marketing has become, Outside of his finger style picking I don't understand what the buzz is about, like I've seen Frank Gamble, Also in my opinion unless you're playing R&B or Neo soul playing lead on electric guitar finger style is kind of silly, you sacrifice so many things you can do, I feel the same about Jared James Nicholas
let's start from the assumption that one of your finger play way better than ten of my hands, as Italian I saw a lot of Matteo speechs, what surprised me the most is his not believing in talent and man he has plenty of it.
Mancuso & Govan are techo wizards who I admire purely as guitarists. But the trouble is A) They're not doing anything new musically or covering any new ground. B) they have a lack of compositional ability. Unlike Allan Holdsworth who was much more than just a techno wizard. He redefined how to play the guitar & also covered new ground musically. Venturing into unchartered areas of chordal harmony & use of unusual scales & phrasing. I'm afraid I find shredders boring. Clichés on steroids are still cliches. Music's about, guess what.. music. Not finger purely gymnastics. But that's not to say people shouldn't enjoy this stuff of course. I did when I was younger. But I tend to listen more now to the music, rather than.. oh wow look how fast they can move their fingers 🙄
Who else on earth can shred finger style at that proficiency? I don’t care if it’s shred or blues or soul….if it’s done well I like it. Mind you my interest would be much lower if I didn’t have the video to see what he’s doing and how he’s doing it.
Calling someone the goat and calling someone the best young guitar player are a far cry from each other. Instant dislike to the this video's uploader. Sorry I don't like to be misled.
Is this blues? No it isn't. Technically he is very good. Where is the feel/ emotion? Each to their own but it does nothing for me. Sounds like Eric Johnson trying to show off his technique. I can't do it, I do want to do it. Rather listen to bb king play one note. Where is the soul, where is the entertainment. Would anybody sing like that? No, if they did you wouldn't like it.
I totally agree with you. I think you are missing the point, his playing does nothing for me. You obviously like what he does, good for you. That's your opinion, mine is a different opinion. I don't hear much emotion in his playing, I hear technique, head playing as opposed to heart playing as Blackmore would put it. I play, but I don't have any desire to play that way. You could say that Clapton's technique is not very good, but his ability to convey emotion is exceptional if you are listening to the right stuff. I am not comparing him to anyone, I don't enjoy what he does, you obviously do. I don't like football but lots of people do, that's their choice.
You ain't seen nothin' yet. He's just warming up there. Matteo's been in my radar for a while. All the great players are gobsmacked by his brilliant musicianship and technique.
Yup ... this is gear 1 of 10.
Been following Mateo for some time now and he is widely being regarded as one of the greatest guitar players, if not the best!
that young man is a monster!! Been following him for a year or so now, but still pretty new to me. But he can play pretty much anything with that technique. the future of guitar is in good hands!!
I am Following Matteo since 2021. He is getting better and better.
We cannot deny this young talent. Do not forget that he has been at the Palermo Conservatory with a Classis Guitar diploma. It is from there the technique he uses so well.
Nice that you've discovered Matteo Mancuso...he's absolutely amazing. You're in for a great exploration.

His take on the Eruption tremolo made my non-playing wife stop and take notice. Even she knew what she was seeing. Watching this kid over the next several years is going to be a treat.
this phenom from Sicily... just a minor correction... ;)
Isn't he just something else. He knows his scales, arpeggios, and chords... and the continuity and flow in his lines is very studied... like Oscar Peterson and Charlie Parker. Guitar wise, I hear Eric Johnson, Shawn Lane, Scott Henderson, Mike Stern, Joe Pass, George Benson, and many others. He has come so far in a short time, and I'm sure we can expect even greater things to come.
He started playing rather young. His father played classical, and so he assumed fingerstyle was it!
He understands the bebop language and so rips through changes well. He seems to have a command of the gamut of guitaristic idioms.
Big fan 😂.

“Doest’t let his technique override his substance.” Yes!
You know he's good when Steve Vai and Joe Bonamassa say that his playing is next level. Watch his live performances of You Really Got Me and Blues For John.
My overall comments on his playing are nothing but good. Everyone focuses on his right hand tecnique, but his overall tecnique and phrasing on the fretboard is unmatched. Every note is clear, consistent, and concise. Zero slop whatsoever. I also love that he is unbelievably versatile. One second he's improvising over Giant Steps and the next second he's ripping apart a Van Halen song. In my opinion, he's gonna be one of the next big virtuosos.
I follow him since three years ago. He is amazing and growing so fast
You have to watch the full Beato interview now.
Been following him for three or four years now. Check his trio performance of "the chicken." It's an earlier performance. I think he was 19 or 20 years old at the time. Incredible.
Steve Vai, Eric Johnson, Al Di Meola, Joe Bonamassa dicono che Matteo Mancuso è fantastico.
Mi fido di loro.
Don't forget Tosin Abasi...
Have WE herd Mancuso in the past??? Seems like you are the only dude who haven't heard him on the entire Internet!!!

If this was 20 years ago I'll bet youd hear him on a steely dan album
Dudes right hand is the best I've ever seen.
Don’t know if he’s the goat, but if you hear Al di Meola and Steve Vai opinions about him, you can draw the conclusion that he’s not an ordinary talented guitarist
I honestly can’t name someone id want to put above him right now
No such thing as the goat of guitar , only a club of goats . We wouldn’t have any of them without each other
His track called "Drop D" WILL knock your socks off !
one of the greatest new guitar players in the world
Of course the finger picking thing is incredibly unique, but IF you can set that aside, his creativity and imagination is just as unique.
I don’t know enough about all the fusion guitarists to know what he has borrowed and what is unique. But it sounds unique to me as a rock guy.
@@michaelgoyettemusic Yep, been playing since 86, ...Just when you think nothing more can be done with a guitar ...
Ha ha! This reminds me of Nigel Tufnel on Joe Satriani: "You can't envy something you can't fathom..."
😂
One of the newest GOATS. There are many.
Consiglio di ascoltare tutto il suo album, journey. è assolutamente fantastico

Another one stunned by Matteo's playing lol.
Nobody can do the legato like him. He is the new.
First I heard of him was Spain at the NAM thing with a trio... It is funny! In a kind of wonderful way. Not an easy song to play.
At some point, we are going to have to talk about Matteo's physical attributes(the shape and size of his hands) and the string spacing on a guitar and how they relate to his technique.

On this moment he is prob. the best player. That technique is the next step.
Very cool skills
Agreed, Steve Via considers Matteo the “next level” in guitar playing….the lack of string noise is a jaw dropper.

Bloody Awsome 🎼🇬🇧
So by playing with proper classical techniques he doesn’t need to use his hands for muting but instead frees them up to play the music. That’s why it’s proper technique
You can play any note/scale/mode on any place on the neck. Anyone who's studied other forms of music besides blues/rock knows this.

It WAS pretty sweet

Hey I got a new bbq
So when you come …. 😂🤣
You can prob tell just from the start of this clip to the end I’ve had like 4 Friday after work whiskey’s
Enjoy your whiskey!! ✌️
And fire up that BBQ!
What beer is that u r drinking? 😊 Cool!
Pabst Blue Ribbon.
That’s jazz. 👍
I don't think at all Matteo is playing out of just boxes or outlined areas. He's free.
He definitely used some shapes as I pointed out.
at the end there was surely cannonball shuffle (Robben Ford)?
Robben Ford a lot here. Most players don't use the diminished scale like Ford. Matteo is incredible.
Yeah, he sounds good and it looks effortless and easy how he plays guitar! If like analyzing techniques and style watch Marcin and the way he plays s guitar - complete other spectrum than mancuso here but astonishing and mind blowing. You never seen before, you never thought before it's possible to believe done with a guitar alone.
I did react to MARCIN but the video was blocked.
But can he play Freebird….🤘
I imagine he can. 😂
Didn't call him GOAT, though I personally think he is He pointed him as the greatest right now.
I need to see more but so it’s very impressive

There is only one goat. Srv no other
Before you try to critique his playing maybe you should listen first.
This isn’t a suggestion box.
Called a capo
that’s not a capo.
Drop D or Silk Road or the Jeff Beck cover Cuz We've Ended as Lovers.
He is The GOAT.
No speed (technique). In my rear view from the start!
Greg Howe been playing like that for 35 years. Come on man
Nothing against Greg Howe….but you need to listen closer to how he’s playing
you're wrong friend, everything is completely different, try listening to more of Matteo ;)
Matteo Mancuso attualmente e tra i chitarristi migliori.. se non il migliore del pianeta.
Matteo lo mangia a colazione.
Greg Howe is my former guitar teacher and friend, and I love his playing to death, but I think Matteo has him beat by a bit. Greg is a beast though, and an awesome human being.
4 minutes and 15 seconds of blabbering before we get to hear Matteo at all.
Has anyone ever told you that you look like George Harrison?
And he wasn’t on RS 250… 🤔🤔🤔😂🤣
He sounds like he’s trying his best to find the right note….
He's definitely a fantastic guitar player. Maybe even one of the finest of his generation.
But for me, there's no topping Guthrie Govan. GG is God.
Govan doesn't even use his lefthand little finger - very limited technically.
goat is guthrie govan. really haven't seen anyone matches him in any aspect of the guitar.
I don’t disagree but I’ve never heard a right hand like this guy’s.
Just watched Guthrie Govan video - he doesn't use his little finger at all...this is very limiting (typical of blues/rock guitarists - with the exceptions of Beck, Blackmore, Malmsteen).
@@marcchrys how can you realistically know that he doesn't use little finger at all. He may not use the same way Matteo uses but that's because he can alternate pick. now find out what Matteo doesn't do but Guthrie does.
@@marcchrys You obviously haven't watched more videos of Guthrie. He isn't a blues player, he is an all player, and definitely uses his pinky A LOT. Watch more videos.
why are you limiting the blues to one box.....there is 5 positions to play on each key center.....5 note scale .....5 positions.......dont tell people about just one position
This ain’t a guitar lesson. 😂
he is very talented and he must have been studying a lot.. but music is a language and does not contain only scales and arpeggios.. the great piano , guitar, orchestra works and many more include phrasing . here we do have fantastic technique and very little phrasing .. maybe i am wrong.. SORRY
Ok so your “sorry” is in all caps meaning you are either VERY sorry OR you aren’t sorry at all. 😂
@@michaelgoyettemusic me am an almost nothing in this cosmos.. but music i say again is language . so think about it.. none of the great composers compose music inly out of scales and arpeggios.. not even during the classic period .. . but i tell you again this guy is more than fantastic.. and probably the best now on the planet on this style.. i enjoy listening to him sometimes.. stay safe
@@polyvioscharalambous281 I was kidding…. While you may be right about great pieces not being only scales and arpeggios….you’d also be hard pressed to find any great piece without scales or arpeggios since every melody is a scale or arpeggio is it not?
@@michaelgoyettemusic hi.. while every melody belongs to a scale (even using the atonal system we do have the semitone scale) melodies usually do not follow the scale notes order . except the real classical period where we do have many scales and arpeggios .. you se that was the period where technique needed to be expanded to comfort several pieces. and also in romantic period we do have many etudes which means the composers score many of them so that instrument players can advance there abilities ... in any case musicians like this guy are quite rare to be found ...
@@polyvioscharalambous281 I deal in modern music and Melodies usually have a lot of step movements and when they jump they almost always jump to a chord tone and if not they quickly resolve to one. Equals scales and arpeggios…..any disagreement is just semantics or maybe you see it differently but it doesn’t mean this doesn’t also exist.
Fret Wrap = Wooten Brothers.
Reggie does it. It's why Victor does it. Been doing it way longer than the 2000s. The first people I saw use them got taught by Reggie in Nashville. They were bass players Reggie taught. They used thick hair ties. The Wootens may not have been first. But they were first I am aware of.
Yeah I do remember Wooten having something there…I was talking when I started seeing it everywhere….but then that wouldn’t have been until social media started.
@@michaelgoyettemusic yeah...I don't remember seeing it Regularly on guitars very often until RUclips got pretty big.
Try the chicken song
GOAT is stretching it.........I ve heard many Guitarists sound like this for years....theres only 2 GOATS and thats Jimi Hendrix and Eddie Van Halen period.
I’d doubt you’ve ever heard anyone play finger style like this guy…..and those guys are dead sadly.
You’ve never heard someone sound like they’re playing with a pick, with their fingers like this guy.
i been playing guitar for 51 yrs..........ive seen my share of great musicians thru my life....he's a great guitar player... but he's not the GOAT @@michaelgoyettemusic
Also, this is probably the least impressive video on the internet of Mancuso. Not the ideal first choice for the introduction.
Jeff Beck had the greatest 'feel' and touch.
He is an incredible guitarist, but I find his style incredibly sterile and way too precise. It’s the imperfections that make it emotional and captivating for me….
Not a hater but personally just not a fan of Of lead being played on the electric guitar fingerstyle, I'm still trying to figure out if this is a coordinated effort to sell Yamaha guitars or not, are Vai and Beato on the payroll??? I'm being dead serious, I don't understand what Vai and Beato are mind blown over, just sounds like a classical guitarist playing an electric guitar to me, Also why are these people acting like they don't know who Victor Wooten is? this dude has a 3 finger technique For Bass forever, also i was mind blown by Gunthrie i dont get the Buzz around Matteo
I think you might be a hater…..and that’s ok.
@@michaelgoyettemusic I'm not a hater, the kid is not better than Gunthrie, I'm just speaking facts, Tosin had the decency to give credit to Victor Wooten for where his Thump technique came from, Everybody out here acting like they've never seen anyone play with 3 fingers before, Wooten been on that
@@DangleSan I hear ya, but I’m still not convinced you aren’t a hater. 😂
@@michaelgoyettemusic I call bullshit anytime somebody acts like Victor Wooten doesn't exist, Also I look at the timeline Vai names this kid, Then a month later all The biggest guitar RUclips channels are putting out videos like "why are yamaha guitars overlooked?" or "Why don't guitar players seem to play yamaha" People like you are just too far behind to understand what modern marketing has become, Outside of his finger style picking I don't understand what the buzz is about, like I've seen Frank Gamble, Also in my opinion unless you're playing R&B or Neo soul playing lead on electric guitar finger style is kind of silly, you sacrifice so many things you can do, I feel the same about Jared James Nicholas
Can it be because it bothers you this man isn’t American?
Matteo Mancuso unico al mondo 👍👋👋💪
Quite proficient but the goat, I think not, nothing earth shatteringly here, kind of Eric Johnsonish…
you missed a bunch
let's start from the assumption that one of your finger play way better than ten of my hands, as Italian I saw a lot of Matteo speechs, what surprised me the most is his not believing in talent and man he has plenty of it.
💯
Mancuso & Govan are techo wizards who I admire purely as guitarists. But the trouble is
A) They're not doing anything new musically or covering any new ground.
B) they have a lack of compositional ability.
Unlike Allan Holdsworth who was much more than just a techno wizard. He redefined how to play the guitar & also covered new ground musically. Venturing into unchartered areas of chordal harmony & use of unusual scales & phrasing.
I'm afraid I find shredders boring.
Clichés on steroids are still cliches.
Music's about, guess what.. music. Not finger purely gymnastics.
But that's not to say people shouldn't enjoy this stuff of course. I did when I was younger. But I tend to listen more now to the music, rather than.. oh wow look how fast they can move their fingers 🙄
Who else on earth can shred finger style at that proficiency?
I don’t care if it’s shred or blues or soul….if it’s done well I like it. Mind you my interest would be much lower if I didn’t have the video to see what he’s doing and how he’s doing it.
L’unico che non l’ha mai sentito sei tu! É un genio delle sei corde inavvicinabile.
I ONLY SAYING TINA S SHE IS BETTER THAN ANY GUYS!!!!
...i just mean, um... i'm just not as good as matteo ...
True….but it doesn’t matter
Calling someone the goat and calling someone the best young guitar player are a far cry from each other. Instant dislike to the this video's uploader. Sorry I don't like to be misled.
You can’t be that clueless….everyone else is calling him the goat which is why I checked it out. Notice the question mark ❓
Is this blues? No it isn't. Technically he is very good. Where is the feel/ emotion? Each to their own but it does nothing for me. Sounds like Eric Johnson trying to show off his technique. I can't do it, I do want to do it. Rather listen to bb king play one note. Where is the soul, where is the entertainment. Would anybody sing like that? No, if they did you wouldn't like it.
No one should judge him as a blues guitarist…because he isn’t.
@@michaelgoyettemusic I agree, and I wasn't judging him on that, but if he is playing a blues then I expect blues. Not a convoluted mass of notes.
@@mister.costello I expect the player’s personality….if EVH played blues I don’t want to hear him play like BB King….there’s already a BB King.
I totally agree with you. I think you are missing the point, his playing does nothing for me. You obviously like what he does, good for you. That's your opinion, mine is a different opinion. I don't hear much emotion in his playing, I hear technique, head playing as opposed to heart playing as Blackmore would put it. I play, but I don't have any desire to play that way. You could say that Clapton's technique is not very good, but his ability to convey emotion is exceptional if you are listening to the right stuff. I am not comparing him to anyone, I don't enjoy what he does, you obviously do. I don't like football but lots of people do, that's their choice.
@@mister.costello you’re free to hate on anyone you like. Have a great day.
4 minutes of yawn.
