U should listen to Alvaro Pierri’s tremolo Edit: actually coming back to this after watching alvaro play augustin barrios the tremolo is pretty much on par this is super impressive
You should check out Max Ostro as well. Just like how Matteo was featured on JTC guitar, Max is just as good as he is. You should check out both of their RU-vid channels, Matteo has a song called falcon flight I Believe, and it's just a gorgeous and really complex song.
It's not difficult for jazz fusion guys... Rock and shredding is beginners style for them... Holdsworth McLaughlin Beck Coryell Metheny Schofield Connors Shawn Lane Gambale George Benson Stern etc...walk in the park doing this
@@SLENDRBOI hello very probably my stupidity but are you saying all the greatest guitarists can shred or that 30 of the best 50 are considered metal shredders primarily?
@@Andrew-q8k I'm saying that whenever there's a list of x best guitarists in the world (that doesn't differentiate between genres, so you can have Hendrix, Malmsteen, Carlton, and Carulli on one list), 2-3 out of 5 are always metal shredders. The lists always evolve, naturally, but more often than not, a shredder gets replaced by another shredder. The thing is, shred is not just about speec. I actually highly doubt many jazz fusion guitarists know how to shred, even if they're much faster than that. It's a mastery of a different aspect of guitar playing.
I'm a drummer. I can easily understand how he does it so rapidly, but what impresses me is how cleanly he does it. If my single-stroke rolls were that controlled I'd be thrilled.
I'm a drummer/guitarist and I totally agree the rhythmic aspect is not hard at all, difficulty is making the dynamics consistent between the three fingers so you can't tell it's three fingers rather than tremolo picking
It has to do with tone too. But mainly because he doesn't pick. That's why it's so clean. If you try to learn it like him it will sound just as nice 👍 difference between those who pick and those who don't. Picking is not as clean sounding as just touching and lightly brushing the strings
I'm a bass player. I've used this technique for years, it came from Steve Harris of Iron Maiden. It's nothing new or special, it's literally how you play the gallop in Run to the Hills from 1982, before this kid was born.
@@spook3420 I mean, just watch the live video of Run to the Hills and you will see Steve Harris doing it 20 years ago, the technique is the same on bass and guitar. I don't need to prove I can do it to prove that people have been doing it for years, right? Examples of others also validates my claim.
@@andishawjfac The technique may be the same when it comes to plucking the strings, but guitar and bass are VERY different when it comes to what goes on, on the fret board. My point is sure you can use the technique on guitar but making it sound good is harder than on bass.
There is a little bit of a guitar renaissance going on in rock right now so players are pulling from other disciplines and putting it into rock to find new and different sounds. I too also think it’s very cool.
honestly I learned on a nylon string, always felt more comfortable playing with fingers, but kept getting scolded in lesson for not using a plectrum, even though it gave me way less control over the tone!
Been trying to do this on my bass for years and I still can't get anywhere near as fast and accurate as this man. Crazy crazy work and beautiful tremolos
Classical guitar players use this 3 finger fast tremolo some even 4 fingers, but applying it to EVH never seen that. This is 🔥 Edited: 1k likes? Never thought people would like my comment😬✌🏻
Classical music theory or technique aplied to electric guitar always makes my jaw drop. Been playing guitar for 15 years but i the 4 finger shred on acoustic like the classical players do blows my mind 👌
@@costascostas1760I think it does. On classical guitar this technique is normally used while the thumb plays a melody of bass notes at the same time, so the tremolo sort of ends up sounding like a drone of it’s done well.
Technique wise Matteo has revolutionized the guitar forever. Players will be playing with their fingers and achieving a whole new level of musicality with the instrument. He's something special and revolutionary
As a former classical player I smile seeing someone taking advantage of their training for shredding 😊 I've never been into metal but have never liked the feeling of finger nails on electric strings but occasionally adapt a Spanish rasguedo into my funk grooves
I’ve been watching this young man since the video of his trio doing The Chicken. He has always struck me as a humble, decent kid, brought up by a good family, and a father who influenced and mentored him to play his own way. There are so many amazing and technical players out there today, but I haven’t heard anyone who has the virtuosity, the phrasing, bending, incorporating old school licks into newer style…it’s amazing, such a tasteful player, and again, what I like about Matteo is he seems very grounded and humble. I hope he stays the course, and doesn’t get overcooked by the music industry!
Dudes finger picking style is on another level.. I honestly have no idea how anyone could throw hate on a such a guy who developed such an amazing skill and way of playing to add his own flare on what he plays.. it’s amazing, beyond words almost compared to what most people his age are doing these days on the guitar
@@phunkyjunkeeany particular tunes/albums/shows of his you recommend listening to first? I'm literally just learning he even exists, and that he is obvs crazy talented!!
@@russellszabadosaka5-pindin849 get ready for an amazing ride. He IS the best guitarist on the planet right now. That's not only my opinion, but that is ALL of YOUR favorite guitarists' opinion as well.
@@davearonow65 all due respect man, but Guthrie Govan's the best* right now since Allan Holdsworth passed away. BUT...Matteo is a freakin beast, no doubt! This morning I watched Rick Beato's interview with him right after it uploaded. Matteo is so laid back and humble, and he talked about his influences (including Guthrie) and the different phases he went through learning guitar as a teenager. He's got a solid jazz & rock background, he knows his theory and his right hand is phenomenal - I'm preaching to the choir, you know all that. But it was great to hear him talk about all of it. * = I say Guthrie's the best because of his unbelievable versatility. I've seen him play everything from chicken pickin' to shredder to Deep South blues. Matteo's still young, he's got lots of time to top even GG.
A good thing about being italian these last couple years was being able to see matteo play live, great stuff and great to see him reach an international audience, since we hardly have any musicians with an international presence these days
What are you talking about about? Many Italian musicians have an international presence, maybe you don't know them because you have poor knowledge about the topic or you restrict your search only to one music genre?🤷🏿♀️🤷🏿♀️
@livioventura5061 "Hardly have any musicians with an international presence" Cluelessness at its finest. At least make sure you know what you're talking about before typing such ridiculous comments.
@@walter_the_danger You're probably right as I don't follow jazz or some other genres too closely, but instead of just being rude you could give some examples simce you took the time to write the commemt
@@livioventura5061 Metal and Rock bands, EDM musicians, many Sanremo and Eurovision artists, pop singers and songwriters are famous outside of Italy, especially within Europe or in South America (the world does not revolve around the US). The list is obviously longer and includes genres I don't particularly care about about, like jazz and opera.
The 3 fingers motion on the right hand is awesome but doable. What I'm more impressed with is how he matches and synchronizes his left hand fingers so precisely with it. 😮👍
I've always hated people talking right hand this or left hand that -- cause I am a left handed player.. LoL 😂 I always gotta think about it for a sec, for some strange reason, guess lefty players usually just say picking hand or fretting hand.. Anyway, that's my whine for the day 😂
That's crazy! My arthritic hands (hips, knees, elbows) ached watching this- Literally! I'm so envious that you can do that (in good health, i couldn't even then!) but the dexterity is amazing! Such skill!!!
Talented? yes, and also very clean but theres nothing "unique" to see here, thats a classical guitar technique that, like the woman over me comented: has some years already existing
It was inevitable. After the highest praise from Steve Vai and Al DiMeola and countless videos of guitar players freaking out over this incredible talent, he would have a chat with Beato. 👏
Don't be pedantic . They don't mean every combination of notes has been played but styles and generally phrasing most people now have covered nearly everything possible outside of playing with their feet. Even Matteo, an amazing player when he plays it's all been done before, not exactly the same but in the same ballpark. It's a testament to technology, faster learning and time. The only part of music that can make you stand out are your songs/compositions, technique is in abundance and not as surprising anymore.@@skyisreallyhigh3333
Makes me wish I could go back in time and start learning again but with no pick. This guy has raised the bar, I've never heard or seen such clean and apparently effortless picking.
This guys renditions of different songs are incredible!!! The first time I watched one of his videos, my jaw dropped! Pick your favorite tunes, and i bet he has it on RU-vid!
I understand nothing about music or instruments but I always find it fascinating how certain people are so gifted. I’m sure there’s people who have been playing for 50 years that can’t do some of the things
Being able to do that implies that he definitely has a classical guitar background. As a classical guitarist myself, I can tell. two famous guitar pieces used tremolo technique that I would recommend the commenters listen to. They’re called Recuerdos de la Alhambra and Una Limosna por el Amor de Dios
If you want to hear one of the masters of tremolo listen to John Williams' rendition of Recuerdos de la Alhambra by Tarrega - amazing Classical Spanish guitar!
Or just listen to Matteo because he lifts it up to another level. I love tremolo picking on classical guitars and there are brilliant players like John Williams and Julian Bream but Matteo`s picking is outstanding!
