Funnels - (Allan Holdsworth) - Matteo Mancuso 

Appreciate that

*are

He already is

He already is :)

@SabuPtolemy He can't play the first fret, xD.

I agree. The thought of Holdsworth's genius being embraced by Matteo and him exposing it to his generation is incredible.

I don't know where you've been living, but he has been venerated by all the pro guitarists and hundreds of thousands of discriminating jazz-rock fusion fans across the world as the GOAT since the 70's. Of course, there are plenty of non-discriminating fusion lovers who swear by Shawn Lane, but that's another story. The annals of music history don't start when YOU discover certain segments of it.

During an interview in Japan, Allan explained that his music seemed to be too "jazz" for rock radios and too "rock" for jazz radios so nobody knowed him excepted a bunch of fans. A big part of these fans were musicians too. That was similar enough with Shawn Lane but Shawn died at 40.

agreed , so young, already so much confidence.

Danny Gatton does it for me. No one even comes close.

I'm not sure that Allan would be happy about it. He often mentioned in interviews that he didn't like guitarists copying his style of playing or writing because he believed in everyone trying to develop their own style. One thing I am sure of is that he would be more than impressed by Matteo's chops and musicality, just like he admitted being impressed by Frank Gambale's technique. As far as I'm concerned, I'd rather listen to a guitarist like Matteo doing fantastic renditions of other players' tunes or writing great compositions in those styles than being exposed to mediocre products of someone else trying to be original at all costs and failing. Matteo is not "perfectly replaying Allan's sounds". His solos are a creation of his own in the style of Holdsworth. He is the only one that has Allan's technique and musicality for a successful reinterpretation of the Master without any compromises.

yup ... its like allan ...but with a something in the back pocket... waiting wonderful ...should be celebrated !!

The greatest possible compliment. And it's deserved.

Plus, killer tone.

Indeeeeed!

Bs! This dude is incredible and I just discovered him but NOBODY compares to holdsworth. I’ve seen many cover his tunes but he and only he can sound like him

Replicating what Shawn did would be almost impossible, but I would love to see his take on it

Agreed, please!

@8palms5fists You haven't heard enough Shawn Lane then lol, he put meaning in every note he played

@@yalikejazz4380 yeah, lane was deep. His albums have virtually no shred. a burst here and there. He was incredibly educated on his own, and did not have a singular style.

@8palms5fists please dive in more in Shawn’s music. Not that it matters but Shawn was one of the most gifted guitar players ever if not the most gifted. Yes he could shred, like no other, but you wont hear him do that very often in his songs. The emotion his tone and technique and playing gave me is beyond words. His simple bends at the right time are just phenomenal. Music is subjective, but technically speaking, no one could top Shawn. Allan Holdsworth was Shawn’s hero, he took a lot of things from Allan. Allan made some classics, but for me, his music can be too monotonic and ‘boring’. I respect him a lot, but his music is not for me.

Riassunto in poche parole: è un prodigio

Ubiratan Pacheco Hai ragione Ubiratan. Un artista e la sua opera appartengono al genere umano. Ma in Sicilia non nascono ogni giorno talenti come Matteo. Un po’ d’orgoglio è ammissibile

Non capiscono un cazzo di chitarra... Semplicemente questo

@@gianpietrocursio3032 invidia ,frustrazione ,scontentezza e tante altre cose che non risolveranno mai solo mettendo un pollicino in giù. Cisono anche questi che ci vo fà

Spero abbiano semplicemente sbagliato. O semplicemente é gente che lo conosce ed é invidiosa

Sicuramente qualche bimbominchia che cercava Sferaebbasta ed è incappato in questo,come una scimmia davanti ad un computer .........

hanno buttato la loro chitarra dalla finestra

They dont miss, i love Yamaha.

😂 ho appena pubblicato la mia patch! Puoi scaricarla qui: www.drapsound.com/helix

Contrariamente a tutti quelli che hai citato, anche se tecnicamente è una bestia, Matteo Mancuso non è un musicista, è un interprete... Sarà un vero musicista solo quando suonerà le sue proprie composizioni (e non vedo l'ora!).

@@karayuschij ma se improvvisa il jazz! Non tutti i musicisti devono essere compositori. Ma che cazzo dici! Per finire con finezza

Oltre che un musicista prodigioso poliedrico oltretutto è anche un ragazzo molto umile. L'ho verificato in un'intervista di non molti mesi fa che è presente qui su youtube

Non si capisce cosa intendi per preferito,spiegati meglio

@@karayuschij Che luogo comune assurdo e stupido. Il mondo è pieno di musicisti fenomeni che per scelta fanno i turnisti invece che i compositori...questo tuo post non ha il minimo senso
