First time playing together at NAMM 2024 at the Bacci Guitars booth Bruno Bacci is an Italian luthier from Tuscany who’s craft is to fine tune instruments to perfection.
I would have liked to finish the video, but I couldn’t because my face was melted off - my gawd, that was insane. I was watching in awe - jaw dropped. Just incredible. They were both so good together - Cory Wong on that Baritone, just the tastiest of grooves. And Matteo, he is an alien. That last solo, I lost my face.
His ima technique is mind blowing and giving me hope that one day I can throw away the pick and use my classical guitar skills to play on the electrical guitar :-)
I always listened to classical players and wondered why their approach to single note runs wasn’t adopted into vernacular music. It’s unbelievably efficient.
5:23 this is so true, like me playing simple lines on record and live, if live situation there's a lot of mistakes 😂, Matteo can do it clean in live, imagine how hard this guy practicing.
i saw this video around its release and had no idea who matteo was. i rediscovered who he was through another video this week (2 weeks later) and am stunned by this again.
Nice to see the cultural phenomenon of feeling like you have to record events with real players on your phone is finally going away. People know a better view will be posted on YT if they want to watch it later.
@@Snow_falling214 baritone ain't a brand, mate. It's a lower tuned guitar. However...lets you and me create a brand called Baritone. That way, when people google search for baritone guitars, they see OUR guitars. Just send me some seed money and I'll get the ball rolling.
The 2 best players in the world, and all we get is licks and shredding on a 12 bar blues. This is everything that is gone wrong with guitar music. Why don’t they do music? And how come no one notices Michael Jackson in the front row?
You don’t consider the 12 bar blues "music"…? 🤦🏻♂️😅 I’d say that attitude is more emblematic of "everything that is gone wrong with guitar music." Blues is the structure, the musical language and base that allows them to even "communicate" musically in the first place. Who, where? Maybe because they’re too busy listening to, and being blown away by fantastic musicianship…?
@@andyscott5277 Don’t give me that American Culture 101 BS, please. Edit: I am going to give you a better understanding of this. This is like seeing 2 great philosophers/thinkers meet in front of an audience, and all they say is «Hello, nice to meet you, how do you do?», or 2 great chefs saying «I like Ice Cream», «I like Ice cream too». It is an incredible waste of potential. «Trading» licks over a 12 bar blues is not a vehicle for sublime musical art on their level. These guys aren’t dive bar players in front of drunk boomers.
Maybe they're trying to play a blues? And then they fix it, very well. Maybe I have issues, but last time I checked, blues was a style. Like it or not. I understand that you think two great guitar players should sit down and make some big innovative stuff, and of course, if that happens? it's crazy cool. But having fun and being cool with music and playing it together in real improv is not wrong. See, they smile, they don't fight, they respect each other, much more than home-chair guitarists, from the bedroom university. But this kind of comment reminds me of when a guy said to me, when he heard a bluegrass concert, after the first song. "Why did they play so fast and just improvisational licks? Do they have a bad time? Music is much more than that? Maybe they warm up first? And I look at him and say. "Look, a bird". Because you don't have that discussion :)
