Holdsworth with a Gambale nod. Or Gambale with a Holdsworth nod. Or Matteo with stunning eclectic bones. I loved his Room 335 collaboration but somehow this Fred take provides the most nectar to my ears. Simply addictive / moody / melancholy... Naturally it helps that Fred was such an awesome composition in the first place.
Bluegrasshero I’ve seen a lot of great players but Matteo is the first to have chops so clean it makes me nauseous. I could watch this on mute and still be blown away.
I laugh and cry at the same time with sheer amazement at this level of talent and ability. I don't think I've ever seen a more fluent player of the guitar - I've seen 1000's.
@WAFFEN COLLIDER Marshall is great but no soul, no taste, nuance or groove.... not like this kid... and Matteo is a very good composer... Marshall has phenomenal technical facility too but Marshall sounds bored where this kid has a passion for music that you can hear ! Matteo also goes on tour and takes it to the stage.. I don't know if Marshall Harrison plays live... and if he does it's very little cuz I've never seen any footage !!!
Beautiful Matteo, one of the best interpretations of Fred I have heard. Allan was certainly the Master and it is so wonderful amazing players like yourself are keeping his legacy alive. Peace
@@morbidmanmusicman enough bro. i don’t believe in god like that but stop being intentionally dense you knew what the fuck he meant. this comment was unnecessary. let it be about the man. rest in peace allan holdsworth, the man who never played the same two notes twice.
After Holdsworth, I didn't think that there would be anyone who surpass his playing, boy was I wrong,and happily so ,Matteo has taken guitar to a whole new level!!!
Matteo voglio uscire fuori dal coro e sinceramente ti dico, il tuo talento deve essere premiato, non solo in visibilità su RUclips, ma in denaro.. Perdonami ma è così, tu sei unico come un quadro di Van Ghog, ed è giusto che la tua arte venga premiata ora e non domani. Fatti valere Matteo.. Sei un grande!
Matteo is so good that I've decided that instead of setting all my guitars(and basses) on fire, I encircled all of them around me and set myself on fire.
I'm sure Allan would be proud of this solo because it's incredibly good and at the same time, not an overt imitation of his own style. He often stated he'd disliked other guitarists trying to sound like him because he appreciated originality.
Tony Williams, my first ear in love, thank you young Matteo, you know how good you are and how much more wonder you are about to share with the guitar world !
Only discovered you recently, love your playing! I started classical and got refused entry to guitar club at school because I didn't use a pick, and now play with a pick and see what you can do and the attack and clarity you get with your fingers. Damn. Wonderful stuff.
I guess that his fingerstyle technique has changed the electric guitar years and years ahead. I've never seen nothing like this before till watching Matteo, really amazing
Non 36 mila visite. A quest'ora ne meritavi almeno 3.6 milioni. Come si vede che la stragrande maggioranza delle persone non capisce nulla di musica... Ti auguro una grande carriera musicale, hai talento da vendere.
Same here Mirko, this was almost the same as when i first heard Allan Holdsworth, although Matteo, seems to not only create a new "style" each time he plays his own music or one of his insanely good versions of "any" music, mucisians etc. o-m-g !!! (and i am 48:)
Gorgeous cover of one of my favs. The touch, color, tonality, the effortless yet explosive passes are beyond words. Absolutely incredible. Thanks for honoring one of the greats!
Your guitar performances are very pleasing to behold. It is mesmerizing how your hands move, and your fingers sound better than using a pick! Thank you for your beautiful music and talents, Matteo.
Sono solo un commento fra i tanti, uno di quelli che a 46 anni suonati, cresciuto a suon di Weather Report, Miles Davis, Jaco Pastoriu, Uzeb, Allan Holdsworth, Johan Scoffield, Dave Weckl, Greg Howe, Victor Wooten etc….di musicisti ne ha ascoltati un casino, ma quando ascolti un ragazzo così giovane che mette una tecnica sopraffina ed una pulizia sublime in un pezzo storico del caro Allan (non di pincopallo!!), non puoi che inchinarti….mille complimenti Matteo! Un pollice verso ad un video simile significa soltanto che non hai capito un cazzo, al di la del genere musicale che ti pace ascoltare….io posso non apprezzare un genere musicale e posso anche non riuscire ad apprezzare la musica di Holdsworth perché, oggettivamente non è facilmente fruibile, ma non puoi non vedere come si muovono le mani e non solo, perché non è solo tecnica meccanica ed estrema pulizia ma anche profonda conoscenza dell’armonia e non da ultimo figure ritmiche incredibili! In questo video ci sono miliardi di figure ritmiche, divisione dei 4/4 in tutti i modi possibili immaginabili…c’è tecnica meccanica ma anche tanta tecnica musicale ritmica ed armonica!! Pochi minuti di questo pezzo sono un vero e proprio trattato di musica, un mix di stili, tecniche e generi musicali, il tutto conditi dal tocco personale di un musicista che in questo modo sta creando il suo stile al pari di tutti i grandi che appena li ascolti, anche ad occhi chiusi e senza sapere chi stia suonando dici "è lui!". Tu che metti un pollice verso, prova a capire quanta musica, quanta armonia, quanta tecnica meccanica, quante figure ritmiche ci sono e tutto immerso in una pulizia superba….non una nota sporca….e solo dopo pensa quanto sei idiota per aver messo un pollice verso! Matteo non ci sono parole…sei un treno che può mettere paura a qualsiasi musicista, figurarsi agli pseudo musicisti che hanno imparato a fare 4 scale e si credono musicisti mettendo un pollice verso!
Santa Madonna...ho visto Allan dal vivo quando avevo 16 anni nel 1987 e dopo la sua morte ho pensato che il mondo non avrebbe più sentito niente di simile. Mi sbagliavo. Matteo, Dio ti benedica. GRAZIE
Io l'ho visto la prima volta nel 1974 con i Soft Machine e mi ha letteralmente steso.Ho praticamente tutti o quasi i suoi dischi e collaborazioni.Ma questo ragazzo promette di andare oltre ogni immaginazione...
Excellent : "This is just a HUMBLE tribute" ! Dear Matteo, when you're so young and already one of the most fabulous guitarist in the History, (And IMHO the equal of that poor and late Allan....) endowed with such a musical genius and a totally extravagant mastery of his instrument, I don't think it's necessary to be so modest. Other musicians, who don't have the thousandth of your incredible talent, wouldn't bother with such oratorical precautions !
Fantastic! I was fortunate to see Allan Holdsworth perform twice in Atlanta years ago...you play so beautifully and have that fluidity that is so pronounced in AH's style..quite excellent..thank you for posting.
You got amazing skills, beautiful guitar sound and a very personnal way to play with your right hand (like a bass player): bravo, Matteo! You're the pride of Italia! A french fan...
Flawless arpeggios, amazing cord progressions. A true master at work here! Quite possibly the best guitarist on earth right now his right hand technique is out worldly. Bravo Sir 👏
How could person click the "unlike" button ? So great, i love your playing and like DougM Hirsch said : Allan is smiling down on you from above ; too true.
*Matteo Mancuso I just became aware of you literally 15 minutes ago. As I pry my jaw from the floor let me say that you are an Awwesome with 2 W's guitarist.*
Bravo Matteo...sei un grande chitarrista. Comincia a sviluppare un tuo linguaggio identitario, perché cosi facendo, rimarrai nella storia. Bravissimo!!!
I have been trying to play solo to this track a lot lately, and I think I have been playing guitar just as long as Matteo. My brain hurts so much when it change chord😫😂. The way Matteo glues the melodic phrases together is just mind blowing🤯
Your left hand is what every guitarist wants. Your right hand is what no other guitarist can have. Bravo!!!!
I am 47 and I've heard a million guitarists. This one makes my jaw drop the most.
I am 104 years old and think the same
59- heard 2 million. Sames! :)

@@memehorse3658 lol. for me he is overrated. he has complexity and harmony but his guitar playing barely touched my soul. 😄
@@memehorse3658 nope
Truly inspiring
Yeah I just found out this guy. So many good players today. You're a monster as well my dude. Cheers!
Inspiring indeed! High praise from another monster youtube guitarist!
We walk amongst legends!
Sublime
Agreed.

This kid is a musical genius and one of the greatest guitarists alive. Unreal.
Agreed!
I agree 100% My favorite guitarist out there right now!
Totally agree. Notes and timing are so CLEAR and precise. This guy is your favorite guitarist's favorite guitarist.
@@Bluegrasshero That can be attributed to a *very* light touch when playing and a little bit of compression. His right hand barely moves.
Bluegrasshero I’ve seen a lot of great players but Matteo is the first to have chops so clean it makes me nauseous. I could watch this on mute and still be blown away.
I've probably watched this 500 times... the most cleanest and melodic playing I've ever heard
There are just no words to express the level of appreciation for what this young man does for guitar.
I could've listened to about another HOUR of that!! Maestro Matteo!
I laugh and cry at the same time with sheer amazement at this level of talent and ability. I don't think I've ever seen a more fluent player of the guitar - I've seen 1000's.
Yes fluent is the perfect word
Realism I totally agree
Eloquent finger
Try Frank Zappa.

Only heard of Matteo this weekend. Absolutely one of the greatest guitar talents I have ever heard.
Alan would have loved this because it is different beautiful playing and sound
Beautiful Matteo, one of the best interpretations of Fred I have heard. Allan was certainly the Master and it is so wonderful amazing players like yourself are keeping his legacy alive. Peace
One of the best? There is nothing approaching this except for the Master himself.
Allen Holdsworth Is Off The Chain😮 R.I.P.🎸
I'm obsessed with this. I've watched it over and over. There's just a feeling and vibe in it. Truly beautiful!
Amén to that me too...i watch it at least once a week. It's so fluid and the tone he achieves is fantastic. Note choice haha i could go on.
same here. I come back to this music every now and then. A truly beautiful arrangement. I wish they were more :)
Allan is smiling down on you from above, Matteo.
Very well said. Allan is smiling.
No. Allan is staring angrily down but with satisfaction.
no, he is in the ground, feeding the earth. Did you think he was in a tree or a high rise building?

Every day this guy does something else that jogs my memory, and gives me hope for my future.
Music tecnologíe gets the most outstanding beauty when activated by the prodigous hands of matteo
I always come back to this solo recording. It gives me such a joy! Thank you, Maestro Mancuso :)
I've been the entire day listening to this nonstop, simply beautiful arrangement.
Matteo is so good that I've decided that instead of setting all my guitars(and basses) on fire, I encircled all of them around me and set myself on fire.
Haha you nutter
Brilliant.
You're on fire ,Dude!
That's going to present a real conundrum for the forensics! 🕵🏽♂️
@@afrocentricalbion I'm still smoldering.
WOW, it's so clean. An amazing tribute to the unbelievable Allan Holdsworth.
I'm sure Allan would be proud of this solo because it's incredibly good and at the same time, not an overt imitation of his own style. He often stated he'd disliked other guitarists trying to sound like him because he appreciated originality.
I am so happy to hear a new and another Alan Holdsworth
This guy is fabulous. Phrasing, technique, vocab, etc. We want more!
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I never thought anyone would be bold enough to try and improvise over Allan's music, but here we are! Nice job Mateo👍
What an elegance, and etherial artistry!
Just Thank You. Thank you for honoring Allan Holdsworth with this great rendition of Fred.
One of my all time favorite songs and now the MM band is doing it !!! I'm in heaven !!!
Tony Williams, my first ear in love, thank you young Matteo, you know how good you are and how much more wonder you are about to share with the guitar world !
Nice bro... keep living and care of yourself for being able to give us your work a few decades more
Playing like a boss, owning every song
Only discovered you recently, love your playing! I started classical and got refused entry to guitar club at school because I didn't use a pick, and now play with a pick and see what you can do and the attack and clarity you get with your fingers. Damn. Wonderful stuff.
Your rest stroke is phenomenal . Amazing right hand technique. Instant fan.
Come sempre, straordinario!
Matteo Mancuso fuoriclasse che il jazz non può cedere
Holy shit that right hand, man!!! Everybody's seen someone shred before but bass fingers while shredding??!! That's sick
I guess that his fingerstyle technique has changed the electric guitar years and years ahead. I've never seen nothing like this before till watching Matteo, really amazing
Holy Fudgesicles! Amazingly technical yet musical
Nice! nice nice! very melodic ! great "hommage" to the GOAT Allan Holdsworth !
Bravo Maestro. You are the new guitar hero of our day. Long may you live.
Porca vacca Matteo sei un fenomeno. Vai avanti così, talentuoso e umile come sei ora, e potrai diventare il più grande di tutti.
Wow that tone made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. NAILED IT.
Wow! Allan Holdsworth + little Eric Johnson tone + Incredible technique = Matteo Mancusso
Sei a un livello stratosferico
Bravo Matteo, con orgoglio dalla Sicilia.
Jesus... what did I just watch... 😮 That right hand technique is sensational. Beautiful playing and tone!!
Non 36 mila visite. A quest'ora ne meritavi almeno 3.6 milioni. Come si vede che la stragrande maggioranza delle persone non capisce nulla di musica... Ti auguro una grande carriera musicale, hai talento da vendere.

Your guitar performances are very pleasing to behold. It is mesmerizing how your hands move, and your fingers sound better than using a pick! Thank you for your beautiful music and talents, Matteo.
Greatest Guitarist of all Times... Gracias, Matteo... el mas grande artista nacido en 1996.
He is just incredible.
Best example of the Holdsworth school of playing I've heard yet. It really recalls the soaring freedom Holdsworth was so adept at.
I like that he picks with his fingers

Amazing legato! Great tone from that right hand technique!
Well...that was just incredible. Wish it was longer. And that right had thing almost seems impossible.
Straight from the soul, as good as it gets

they've always been cool
One of the most impressive guitarist of the world. And so young..!
What a tribute worthy of Allan himself. Thanks Matteo you are a wonderful tallent.

Wonderful music.

Outstanding.
So good, you did a incredible job, AH was one of a kind.
Not any more.

It looks easy but it is very hard. Brilliant playing by a very talented guitarist!
Wonderfull, viva sicilia !!!!
Fantástico Matteo!!!! Es hora de un album solo.
There’s so much early Scott Henderson in there. Awesome. Equal doze of chops, musicality and taste. Big fan! 🙏❤️
... I just witnessed greatness! .... beautifully done, Matteo!
Oh God that is Awesome, Matteo!!!!

Whew, Allan would like that!
