He has all of the mechanics of a 60-year-old dedicated jazz player along with laser-accurate bends, tasty vibrato, and an innate sense of MELODY!!!!!!
The thing is that he doesnt miss a note, smooth and fluently flawless
I would think any guitarist listening to this would be flabbergasted by the sheer beauty of Matteo's delivery.
Jim Carrey said it best in the movie "The Mask." One word, SMOKIN!
You said it - "the beauty of Matteo's delivery". That's the most striking thing as far as I'm concerned. What might appear mechanical in other hands sounds magical in his because his sense of phrasing and dynamics - and his ability to execute them at will - set him apart from all but the greatest. I get the same feeling listening to Matteo's playing as I do listening to Eric Johnson... and that is saying something, since I can't think of any guitarists with a more beautiful sound than Eric J, regardless of whatever style he happens to be playing.
Al Di Meola was all fanboying over Matteo in an interview. He made a comparison to Jaco Pastorius, which is pretty spot-on.
Saw that video. Al was my guitar hero of the seventies and eighties and with him giving Matteo such high praises, I thought "better check this kid out." No exaggerations and no regrets.
@@darrellrees4371 Nothing but facts!
Brother, Matteo is getting lots of exposure. I'm seeing him continually on RUclips. His talent is great and is not going to waste.
That little bar on the top and between his pickups is his occasional thumb rest. . .Very Very cool ! This young man is already becoming a legend. The guitar world and people who know what talent "really" is will make sure this lad has a career, ,he really is such a talent and I wish him all the success he deserves .
He may very well be the best of all time, and I grew up listening to Lenny Breau and Ed Bickert just to name a couple of my favourite guitarists.
next level player - Robben Ford sensibilities, phrasing, time with Holdworth chops - amazing!
Matteo is now about 23 and he is still studying music, his father was a professional musician. Also Matteo already have a contract with Yamaha and is present at NAAM and other venue to promote their guitars.
He'll be studying music all his life, the same as most musical giants. Mike Brecker springs to mind.
Matteo is one of my favorite players of the modern era. So unique. I love how he mixes his smooth jazz with bluesy hard rock licks. I also love the finger picking. It's always been my favorite way to play.
This guy reinvented guitar. This is beyond next level. I was a bit sceptic because of him doing covers. But his own work now on his first album is insane.. And then you just know.... this is unearthly. I really can't recall any guitar player that comes even close to his technique. WITH 3 FINGERPIKKING but making it sound as a pick??? What? his improv boxes, schales, chromatisism, arpeggios..harmonics... creativity, all blended so well together and so clean. F*cking insane man! You know, Tina S can cover music really good, but this is another universe. And he is just 27...
I’ve been following Matteo for months now.. his playing is so amazing to listen to, but when you see him playing it, it is a whole new game.. I heard of his playing through Mike Seal , who is another finger style player with the Jeff Sipe Trio... Matteo reminds me of how I felt when I first saw Stanley Jordon play live years ago.. What a future this young man has in front of him.. the guitar is still alive and well..
He will be in the spotlight. He is just starting.
One of the best
He reminds of a Jeff Beck type of player. A completely different way to play and very difficult to imitate. He is phenomenal
Can you imagine his technique with Beck’s sense of phrasing?
@@bigmonmagoomba9634 Jeff Beck? Il chitarrista più sopravvalutato della storia
You’re obviously not a guitar player Vito.
His right hand technique is from an old classical guitar style that has been used by many Spanish players and is the beginning of the claw and chicken picking style of that the Country players have popularized in recent times. It allows for a very consistent string attack and the facility to play with a lot of string skipping and raking in a seemingly effortless manner. Mind blowing that he is still in the infancy of his musical creativity.
Thank you for writing this so I didn't have to.
A great talent virtuoso blessed by The Master of The Universe.
GRANDE MATTEOOOOOO
You're absolutely right, Sir! This guy is simply incredible!
Joe Bonamassa is a great, great musician, a great guitar player with great feeling - which is the most important thing of them all when playing a lead guitar, besides having perfect accuracy and technique. music is a language of emotions, transferred from the musician (and the composer) to the listener. emotions that can't be described in letters and words. directly connected to us, without the need for interpretation. but, this dude is playing in a higher league.
Incredible Guitarist. He is Amazing.
SO AMAZING! GENIUS!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
That's what so unique about matteo is that fingerstyle playing is so clean it's revolutionizing guitar picking
All i can say is ,, WOW !
Amazing Talent!!!
This is the first video of Matteo that I came across and was blown away from the start of the video. I had just discovered him a few years ago. I never knew this guy existed. He definitely has his own style of picking. His father is no slouch on guitar by no means either. I believe his father was his inspiration as is clearly noticeable through his playing. His playing does have an Eric Johnson vibe to it, only because of his clear and precise finger picking that eliminates the pick noise when the strings are struck. Just phenomenal. Watch/Listen to The Chicken, his three piece band. The bass and drummer are equally as talented as Matteo.
Ya this guys awesome.. I've been watching his videos for a few yrs now
3:07 all classical guitarists play without a plectrum 😃 When Alip_Ba_Ta plays fast he uses the nail of his index finger as a plectrum. Mancuso uses the flamenco technique or more simply the electric bass technique
You can analyse this fellow as much as you like, fact is, that he is beyond anything that we may have heard before.
Phenomenal player, currently doing work with DriftLab which showcases his fusion chops with some other AMAZING players who don't get enough attention here in the States. His Italian trio work is also jaw-dropping!
Totally agree with you that young players like Matteo needs some Love. As me being a piano guy there are many euro artists that are phenominal that have no notice. Thanks for the post because good music from artist like him needs to be recognized.
I'm absolutely agree: Matteo plays incredibly clean and in completly relax! I heard the sound of each note more clean than pick! Bonamassa said a right thing: Mancuso reinvented the Guitar. I say he bring us the future, he playd with his soul and using an Amazing mix of Scales like pentatonic, esatonic, underdominant and a few of variosus types of scales in ambient of 5 of dominant and all relatives triton scales.
But he mix everythink and we here like he raccontasse una storia, with asks and respons , continue tensions and resolutions. Ok the talent but Is evident the great study there Is in what he does.
Nobody can only think what Mancuso plays in a nano second. I think Is the best actualy guitarrist in the story, for how he use the right hand too.
We musicians are Happy becouse we can live in act a so Amazing genie now...and he Is only 26 Years hold.
Alleluia my dear guys, Jesus Is back!!!😜👍😜👍👋❤️❤️😘
Another in the long line of great Italian guitarists bravo👍👍👍👍👍
Matteo started playing because of his father. He was a little kid, so seein' his dad playing fingerstyle thought that was the way to play guitar.
He found out later that guitar can be played with a pick: so he simply didn't know :D
Anyway, he developed his own fingering technique: the "bass" one is for fast runs on close strings, while the other one opens new way to approach sweeping since he can selectively string skip (at least on his own words).
Still waiting for his debut album which should be on the way: never enjoyed a "jazzy" player as much as Matteo
Just freakin amazing!
I first heard him in 2017, he did a version of Chick Corea´s Spain. He needs to develop his own voice though, because he does have the chops to be an All time Great. If I hear Frank Gambale, I know it´s him, even though I might not have heard the song before, same with Pat Metheny, Scott Henderson, ect.
Matteo es un verdadero genio del instrumento 👍🏿🇲🇽
This kid is gonna do to his generation what Hendrix did to mine. He is one level higher than anyone else out there.
wow, never have I seen this playing style. Looks like he was a bass player turned guitarist
The take away for me is to use your technical prowess as a means to enhance the overall musical quality or phrasing as opposed to some stand alone pyrotechnics display that we see all too often on youtube. Matteo has that unique ability to still make music in spite of his jaw dropping technique. His interpretations are super clean, creative, awe inspiring, but I still feel like I can groove and tap my feet to it all.
Another thing I noticed, I think he is double picking with the first finger and adding notes with the second finger during the fast stuff. A lot of fusion players that use a pick do something similar by using the Hybrid Picking technique where the main notes are played with the pick (thumb and first finger together) and secondary notes are played with the second finger. Already you can see the disadvantage pick users have. It takes them three fingers to do what Matteo does with two.
Après avoir vue cette démonstration, je pense que beaucoup de musiciens vont ranger leurs guitares au placard... Quelle technique aux doigts incroyable ! Jamais vu ça...
Me too i try is impossible😂
He does is the NEXT level!
no limits .
Check out ‘the chicken’ … he and his mates totally nailed it, and there, he was even younger.
Ah I was wondering what the little bridge was for between the bass side of the pick up rings. A thumb rest! Great video Tony. Cheers
Same thoughts here for Matteo. Thank you for helping Matteo get exposed. He deserves the same with Larry Carlton, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani etc.
Matteo is absolutely amazing! Check also Joshua Meader.
FENOMENOOOOOOO
WHITE FLAG!!!! I GIVE UP!!!! Great videos my friend. You have come a long way. I watched you from the start and I truly enjoy. THANK YOU!!!!
dont forget in shrapnel daysz Richie kotzen im suprised didnt use a pick and he is blistering fast ,mixing neo-classical funk and blues and tapped notes
And...He is very humble. Di Meola said Mancuso is like Jako : an Unaspected Miracle .. He got it.
He's got chops and MUSICALITY!
I literally just threw my guitars off 4 stories..I'm done...😠 😠
Matteo is the new guitar innovator ... after hendrix van halen satriani/vai he is the real new innovator
A right hand like Paco de Lucia and Joe Pass, with otherwordly harmonic/melodic synthesis in his lines - its almost like a stream of conciousness, a conduit with something transcendental - he's that good.
He really cops some Robben Ford and Frank Gambale vibes on this one whilst staying true to himself. He does have that Eric Johnson like clarity, and a kinda similar full rich tone, a bit more midrange dense perhaps.
I've read a few of your comments on Matteo and just wanted to congratulate you on your ability to unerringly hit the nail on the head. I appreciate your use of the English language. 👏
@@twangbarfly hey man, thanks for taking the time to say that. Matteo is definitely a source of renewed inspiration for me. I've been playing for 35 years and players of his calibre inspire me to work at my classical and jazz playing a whole lot more.
I've recently been getting into playing more horn transcriptions for example and that's definitely through guys like Matteo and Joshua Meader.
Anyway man, thanks and keep picking 🖖🏼🇦🇺
I saw him in 2018 I think and when he plays the chicken with an incredible trio of young musicians and I noticed what talent he has and that he will be very big.
Wooow...So good👍👍mantaaap!!!
Thank you 😋
Check out Max Ostro. He's younger and also from The Next Dimension...
Guitarist now days plays super good at younger age, Abim Finger under 18 years old doing well too and many others.
Jan Akkerman mentioned him. he is 2.0. Not only his technique is fenomenal, but also his harmony , timing etc.
Yomandhu Costa (Brazilian virtuoso) ...well worth a view .
Funny you should mention Eric Johnson, I recently had a drink with Matteo when he played in Ireland and my first question was who is your absolute favourite guitarist, his answer.. you got it .
You should also check out joshua meader
00:11 "... new generation doesn't like a pick..." - I think in Matteo's case, it's more the fact that he started with classical guitar and went on to realise that he could accomplish technically what he needed to (and more!) with his dual fingerstyle playing. I say 'dual' because of course Matteo uses at least two different techniques for plucking the strings - one at 'side' of the strings and the other with his hand positioned above the strings. Rest position and ... I forget the other. Anyway, the guitar is amazing, not just technically of course, but his musical 'mind', his ability to execute what he hears in his head with his hands and his ability to choose excellent notes.
I don't know about sounding like Eric Johnson. He sounds like Robben Ford to me. He mentioned in another video that he heard Robben Ford and learned his style of playing.
His tone and style is all Robben Ford in this clip.
5:39 Yeah. I'm a drummer and I got this problem with Williams or Colaiuta stuff.
Banjo style picking. Nice to learn across all aspects of string instruments. I ASSUME thats what hes done. Its what im trying to do. Banjo picking is just too much for me hopefully at this point😂
Matteo Mancuso = Blackmore grande matteo
Joshua Meader
This is Allan Holdsworth for the next generation...
This kid plays like anyone he thinks about. Like a computer. He can't be put into one category. He's himself and whoever else he wants to sound like on a thought. Amazing.
@@alward5678 you’re right to a large degree. He is a technical marvel right now but he hasn’t developed a complete unique musical language like Allan did. Unfortunately in this day of RUclips these kids can learn to mimic amazing players which tends to take away from developing your own style. Back in the day our brains had to work a little harder to determine how to formulate certain sounds and it was the journey and not the destination that proved to be important.
Well said, and true. I agree with you. This thought had at times crossed my mind as well.
Tony....great stuff...I would love to see more unknown talents!!!
Working on it!
Lot of Robben Ford sound also
Josh Meader is on the same level as Matteo, Dude plays Coltrane solos note for note on guitar like it's nothing .. There's a new crop of young guitarists that are just straight crazy !
Not, sorry..
Amazing guitarist. Matteo's also the one who put Yamaha guitars on my radar.
Why would anyone use a pick when he's got 5 of them on his right hand. I think this guy proves that picks are pointless. More dexterity and ability to be dynamic with what I've seen here. Soooooooooooo clean...... whew.....
You should hear his Alan Holdsworth style playing...Alan would be proud! He also has a Frank Gambale influence.
Matteo is indeed getting much coverage but he’s still in school and we have Covid. Check his videos which are genuinely astonishing. Also check out Yevgeny Podovich who won last year’s Herbie Hancock competition. Less flamboyant than Matteo but oh so impressive
Next Fay Ehsan Video, He has been created Wirang drumming technique on guitar playing, awesom
Yeah he's classically trained or adopted the right hand technique because he's using the plucking that a classical guitarist uses, I studied classical guitar.
you're not far from the truth! He answered this in an interview he started to play guitar without a pick when he was a kid, at the time he didn't even know picks existed and his dad who's also a guitarist (and a very good one), just let him do what he wanted so he simply enjoyed playing. Then he went on to study classical guitar in high school and he said it helped him further develop his right hand technique, even though he didn't like the repertoire, and he is currently attending conservatory studying jazz guitar.
..like Eric Johnson? I see no comparison..as good as EJ is this kid is at a totally different level IMO..
Matteo is great, but he has some way to go to be considered a peer of EJ. When he has an Emmy, a bunch of successful albums, and a 40-year career, then we can talk. It's more than just technical proficiency.
First of all you probably mean grammy and not emmy, and second of all who the hell cares about grammy's? Cardi B has a grammy for god's sake. And just because eric johnson has had a long career nobody can compete with him? And a 'bunch of succesful albums' what does that even mean? I agree that matteo could put out some original work but why would the populairity of his work have any effect on how good he is?
@@petezah4597 Well spoken. I don’t think age is any prerequisite of greatness, and the point is that Matteo is at a level beyond virtually any guitarist… ever. The fact that he is playing like this in his late teens/early twenties just makes it seem inevitable that he will have an excellent career.
@@MrKittles1123 unfortunately I'm not convinced that his playing being like this in his early twenties makes it inevitable that he will have an excellent career, look at holdsworth, he died poor and couldn't really get any gigs but maybe youtube will provide him some more sustainibility than holdsworth, I surely hope so
@@petezah4597 That’s honestly a very good point. I think that part of Holdsworth’s problem was being so far ahead of his time, as well as playing a style of music that didn’t have the type of online clout it does today, especially in his wake. Only time will tell! But if nothing else, Matteo certainly has one hell of a good start going for himself considering he’s a fusion player.
NUOVA GUITAR PARADISO
I don't understand why claudio quartarone is not mentioned since he is the inventor of that right hand technique on the electric guitar?
Which technique?
Just wait till you watch his jazz tunes!
Pat, John, Larry and Robben peuvent dormir tranquilles. La relève est là.
I think I hear a Robben Ford influence
100 % .. hardly anybody is saying this.. I know Robben obviously doesn’t have those kind of chops but the feel is totally Robben influenced.. right off Talk to Your Daughter
Yes, shuffle and feel is based off RF’s Misdirected Blues song while he was with the Blue Line
here we go again ...........................
Few guys can turn heads like those of Al DiMeola who has called out Matteo's skill. Matteo's dad was a guitarist of some note in Italy I believe, so he had a leg up. Matteo has earned a chapter in the history book for right hand technique for sure. You can even find a nice compilation of him explaining his right hand method on RUclips.
With his dad: ruclips.net/video/EHqrrewKWYY/видео.html
I ran into this a few years ago, after that I threw away all music I had i am looking for that guitar 🎸 any ideas ?
His father is great also.
Sounds like he has been listening to some robben ford .check out his 335 video
Try "Balawan"
He explains why he changes his hands, The thumb is a resting place. I watch this video everyday May 8 2024
I burned mine a long time ago (Terry Kath - 25 or 6 to 4).
Which musician was he in a previous life.....
He's on different planet to Bonnamassa , thats for sure.
To play devil's advocate - try finding a video of him playing without the sock tied on the 1st fret.
What happens when you pluck two or three strings but only fret one of them using the strap/sock?
He is a remarkable guitarist - highly skilled and fun to listen to.
You are right, but I would consider it a disadvantage of the technique rather than a flaw with the player. By hand picking he's developed the ability to execute insane licks with a stunning precision and taste, I guess having to use a fret wrap is a very acceptable compromise. BTW, if you check some of his posts he can do without if he plays clean, though he totally needs it for distortion.
His first video "Technical Difficulties" doesn't have the fret sock. Neither does his Brent Manson "Pick It Apart" solo.
You guys are right. He doesn't need the sock.
His playing makes me reevaluate even using a pick.
People acting like Greg Howe has not been doing that for 35 years. Come on
Mancuso is off-the-scale, just amazing. But do you know EVGENY POBOZHIY? Check it out.
