Matteo Mancuso - Time To Leave - Guitar Solo (Original) 

This guy is the best new blood out there. Groundbreaking technique and much more musically interesting. But no one says anything because he's not part of the RU-vid/social media circlejerk.

Masters of guitar left in the dust by a kid from Sicily. Wow.

Bro you are even cleaner and more articulated than Gambale at this point. Those “sweep“ lines executed with your fingers are just insane.

I don't know how he plays those wide interval runs so smoothly. Every note is so clear.

im must have been living under a rock ...i just found out about this artist...wow..i'm totally blown aways by such talent

I would never have thought that a Yamaha could sound so good. Bravo!

0:17 this 5 seconds is ....uplifting ...just brilliant ...cant get myself starting today to record .....maybe after this ....thanks

Gli dèi della chitarra stanno tremando di fronte a questo talento puro e devastante fai davvero paura 🙌🙌🙌🙌

I don't have a clue about what he is doing but it always sounds like passion, it is not simply pure technique. Inspiring!

Matteo, it’s simply as fantastic as it can possibly get. If the bar of dazzling technique and beautiful phrasing gets pushed higher, I have no doubt that you’ll be the one to do it. So fresh and so musical. Keep it up young man. You’re in the pantheon, for sure!🙏🏾

That amount of harmoniously well blended notes should be illegal

I swear to got every new video that you put out I have to watch on repeat - its earcandy and so addictive !

La técnica es IMPRESIONANTE!!!!! you are the best guitarist i ever seen

Soulful shred is the best kind.

short and sweet. It's like Brett Garsed on speed. hahaha Very melodic and the timing is impeccable.

Can't wait for your album ! Keep up the good work

The new king of the modern fusion era. All the Holdsworth, Herbie, Jean-Luc Ponty fans come here.

Brilliant phrasing and masterful technique.

beautyfull phrase !

I'll buy every record he does and buy a ticket to every performance I can.

new class! probably the best guitarist on planet earth today.

You never fail to impress, simply amazing!

Your technique is out of this world.

Best artist

Quando tutto ha senso l'espressività esplode.♥️

Non vedo l’ora dell’album🔥🔥

Grande MATTEO!¡!!; TECNICA ED ESPRESSIVITÀ E ANCHE IL TUO SUONO E TOCCO!!!! SI FA SEMPRE PIÙ RICONOSCIBILE N 1🇮🇹🎸😎💪

Matteo, Matteo!! More 🎶👍

When I watching this video, I feel like I'm back in 2007... Amazing performance, Matteo!

Flawless as always! Get that album done!!

Best guitar player of our present times

It was 1978, I was 13 years old, and I dropped the needle on Van Halen. Running with the Devil was "meh," but then I heard Eruption. Mind blown. Fast forward 44 years and I accidently came across Matteo Mancuso on RU-vid. Mind blown II. It took almost 50 years for a guitarist to rock my world like EVH, but Matteo Mancuso has done it! He's the best I've ever heard! When's the album coming out?

Inacreditável!!!

Matteo. Dude. I just LOVE your melodic choices. Your triad selections and passing tones are just...my favorite ever. I don't say this lightly; I'm a 66 year old guy who is decently accomplished as a soloist myself, awe shucks (playing mostly at church, and so not much exposure). I love listening to others and assessing the theory behind their work, and how it moves me. Speed is less important; note choice and breaks are everything. And Matteo, YOUR work is...genius. Such a wonderful balance of melodic scale work, accentuated by known but edgy expression moves that are common on the guitar. Those are wonderful; they provide a consumable and familiar foundation for a listening guitarist, but you don't over-do them. They're just poignant "in your face" bends and moves that give a referenced excitement at edges of your beautiful up and down runs. Oh, and lastly, yes sir. You have flawless technique. I admit that I absolutely love how clean you are. I've been a fan of Guthrie Govan for his thoughtful and clean playing (with speed), but I'm sure he enjoys listening to you and admiring your clean work. One more thing. What makes your work so amazing is the length of time spent on each note during a fast run. Many players are fast; but YOU, you hold each note longer, and this gives the brain a clear indication of the note played. More time is spent as a sounding note instead of the silence between notes, making the runs sound more like a plucked chord instead of separated units. Sorry for the long comment. And I hope it make sense. I just wanted you to know how deeply I enjoy your work, and have thought about why it's soooooo good !!!!

Brilliant. Can't wait for the album! :)

Finalmente un video didattico Matteo. Dalla parte finale sono riuscito ad imparare perfettamente a togliermi la chitarra, appoggiarla e andarmene via.

NICE .. well done and carry on young man

keep your calm buddy, you're too epic for this world

Pochi secondi tanta roba!!!!!

can't wait!!

Insane playing into an epic MIC DROP! (gently puts guitar down)
