Discovering Matteo Mancuso's Steve Vai Cover - Pro Guitarist Reacts 

Thanks for sharing Matteo!!

LOL, he has done everything himself, but we are very proud of him 🙂@@michaelgoyettemusic

I heard he does eruption!! I gotta see that next!

In rock, the next evolution after Eddie was Yngwie (regardless of how hated he may be). Matteo is several evolutions later, not really so much in rock, but in fusion. And then you have to consider Holdsworth, Frank Gamble, etc. In any case, Matteo's a genius!

He obviously is classically trained. What he is doing is common in Flamenco.

@@obiwancannabis8408 that’s true….but I’ve never seen anyone shred on an electric that way.

@@obiwancannabis8408 His father was a classical trained pro guitar player.

1000%

🙏 💯

Wild! I studied classical guitar for a bit and never came close to that. Wow

@@michaelgoyettemusic Check out his version of Eruption--he does the technique of ring-middle-index fingers, in that order (always in that order) to mimic alternate picking on single string / alternate string....

MM is a real artist, not a baby prodige, or a YT guitar player. He makes concerts, International tours, write a his own album. I saw him play live. He's absolutely stunning.

I wanna watch that but I wasn’t sure if I’d ruin my journey. 😂 I’ll think about it.

The picking technique used with a plectrum would be sweep picking which I suspect is easier than plucking each note…..that’s what I thought until I saw this!! Also noise control is easier with a pick I would think….there’s a lot more noise issues on a distorted electric guitar than on a classical guitar, wouldn’t you agree? The fast picking part right after the arpeggios is what gets me because he’s picking every note and there are many notes on the same string in a row (3-4 at a time) my limited classical technique doesn’t allow me to imagine how that could work!! :) You have to see the movie to appreciate how great a choice Paganini was for this guitar arrangement….Steve Vai killed it with this interpretation too. I saw Vai play it a couple times when he was playing In Whitesnake….it was flawless.

I don’t even have to check….it was the 5 string arpeggio? 😆

I thought ppl in Sicily had dark hair…..but I’m no expert. :)

Any kind of hairs,any colour. He is a Mediterranean young man.

Thanks.

Truth!!

Awesome

Ry Cooder played all the blues guitar parts in the blues jam but the solo at the end is all Steve Vai Eugene trick bag. When the band is playing and there’s a jam that’s Ry Cooder.

Right! Thanks

I haven’t yet but I definitely will. ✌️

I’ve never seen anyone pick every note with fingernails in this type of music before….he would have to master flamenco technique and learn all these rock licks and spend time putting it all together…..Tim is also wild for sure.

You know what I’m talking about!! How many times have you watched that scene? 😂

I went through unread messages and I don’t see it…

@@michaelgoyettemusic it’s on your Cruel Sea Black Stick (members only) video from 6 days ago. Anyway hope you’re doing well. I’ve been struck with the worst case of Covid- been out like a light for 7 days ! X KAP

@@Dr_KAP my sister just had it. It’s nasty for sure. Get better!

@@michaelgoyettemusic thanks Michael yeh it sure is nasty

Oh right. I’ve never used one of those. Hadn’t thought of that

@@michaelgoyettemusic this is why he sounds so clean too

Yes but he doesn’t sound like he’s playing with a pick and he’s not playing lines that are written to be picked.

You choose weird things to get angry about. ✌️

He’s good

No that was Steve Vai

Incorrect. Only the blues jam with the band not the solo guitar part at the end. That is Steve Vai.
