Matteo Mancuso - Tribute to Jeff Beck solo 

After listening to solo guitarists for 30 years I can't believe I still get impressed from time to time. Matteo is one of the best I've ever heard.

Folks…it just doesn’t get much better than this. Such incredible musicality and virtuosity but never feels “shreddy”. I didn’t see any “I am going to shoehorn this lick here cause it’s a TECHNICAL feat”. Everything was in support of the melody and so frickin tasteful. That is not to say this guy doesn’t have technique. Good Lord does he ever. But, it is used to support what he plays, not define it. I am embarrassed at the low-key applause at the end. I would have been screaming like mad in support. This kid is an evolution.

Most really technical players bore me, but not Matteo. He has style and musicality. Everything he plays is beautiful.

The touch ......the notes .....the ideas .....as good as it gets unreal all great guitar players could learn from this very young man he is in a class by himself ...

Musicality ✔️ Tasteful phrasing ✔️ Tone and touch ✔️ Chops out of this world ✔️ Creativity & suspense ✔️ A humble and curious young artist and genius just in the beginning of a long and truly inspiring journey ✔️

This guy is the best electric player in the world . Not just technique but depth of ideas his lines his harmonic maturity unique style an inspiration a beautiful thing the universe is linked with him He dove deep worked hard had the genetics and open mind soul commitment to being the best he could be and he did it .

Best guitarist in the world. Have heard thousends of them but nothing come close to this. Not only does he has an amazing technique but his chose of notes, timing and phrasing showes that this young guy has a musical gift that is extremly rare

The fact that Matteo can perform such a faithful tribute to Jeff Beck without a whammy bar is a testament to his brilliance 🫡

This solo is so amazingly good, I can feel the emotions. Rest in peace, Jeff.

Simply astonishing. Never heard something like this. With this guy the musicality of the guitar get into another level

Absolutely one of the best contemporary guitarist. Please, keep on giving us such emotions

I have been playing guitar for many years, and Matteo's fingerpicking style is unlike anything I have ever seen.

Otherwordly good. Unbelievable. A genius.

Matteo is a musical genius he took his classical finger picking skills along with adapting the finger picking of the bass . Matteo style is very efficient. Even Rick Beato was impressed with his style but he also understood how Matteo got his unique style. Matteo is making music on his own terms.

Dang! Jeff would be proud. Matteo killed it.

This deserves so many more views. This might be the greatest guitar solo I've ever seen played.

Fenomeno assoluto.numero 1 al mondo

i think this guy might be the best player man. he has the right amount of clean, samurai cutting technique, with excellent feel, tone, does not over play, plays just enough technical shit to wow you, excellent phrasing, slow + fast, light and dark, EXACT RIGHT AMOUNT OF BOOMER BENDS, just all around, excellent player. he really, makes me want to sell my guitar. this is the third time ive come back to watch this for inspiration. he is also a really humble guy. this dude motivates me to want to get better man.

I've been involved with Jazz Rock Fusion guitar since the late 70s and this solo is the best I've ever heard, in its musicality, technique and virtuosity. It was an utterly flawless live performance. Bravo Matteo!

crazy crazy crazy picking technique, what a monster

Eccezionale!…e Manc’uso plettro!👏👏👏👏

He's a fine artist and plays with genuine emotional expression. Which, ultimately is what it's all about. He's got class. Bravo!!

A fingerstyle master paying tribute to THE fingerstyle master. Love it!

Amazing. If I could play like this, my guitar would never leave my arms.

He plays them all against the wall, no matter who comes there. I've never heard anything like it! It's not a high flyer. He practiced hard to be the best! And then, despite the insane speed, he still has a harmony in his playing style that is breathtaking given the speed. There is no one equal to him, you can look for whomever you want. nobody will find He can do both classical and jazz. Who can?

Out of this World. Absolutely incredible. So much feel and virtuosity. Jeff was listening, I'm sure.

stunning

He made that guitar sing. Incredible

I dont know about this solo invoking the ghost of Jeff Beck (Godspeed, Jeff!) but it certainly sounds like one of the nicest Holdsworth style cops ive heard in a long time. What a guitarists's guitarist.

È più lo ascolto e più diventa bello sto assolo… c è dentro tutta la musica e tutta la storia della chitarra.. c è blues, c è jazz , c è fusion, c è la classica, c è rock, c è guitar hero,c è il gusto, la melodia, il grande genio… nessun allievo di nessuna scuola di musica saprebbe fare un solo così all ultimo esame… questo ragazzo sarà una leggenda ,tra i grandi …

He is amazing🎸💯

Next next level!!!! 🤩

The way you have mastered your right hand is like above everything. You are in my most recommended guitarists list.

Everyone needs to calm down. Matteo, Guthrie and the like have achieved the highest level of technique that not everyone can relate to just like many can't relate to the ethereal power of Mississippi Fred McDowell. It's all about personal preference which is pointless to judge and can't be measured objectively. Then there's pop music, that arguably has largest audience based on popularity. Matteo's version of Stevie's "Cause we've ended up as lovers" is beyond words and a brilliant tribute.

First you listen, and you gasp. Then you watch, and your heart stops for 3 mins. Hands down some of the best I’ve seen, EVER. Hail to the new King🤘🏻

I thought I'd seen them all but this guy! Staggering...

I grew up adoring John Petrucci, Guthrie Govan, Jimi Hendrix, Eddie Van Halen, Stevie Vai, Tosin Abasi….. Man this live solo puts you right up there with them. Incredible!!!! Absolutely fabulous. Jeeezus. WITHOUT A PICK!!! Subscribed for life…❤

"Cause We've Ended as Lovers" Man, I luv MM from day one. GOAT is in da house!

This guy is amazing… speed, feel, phrasing impeccable, technique off the charts

Please come to America and tour

I first saw film of Matteo with his talented trio Snips. This kid is a freakin' MONSTER on the guitar. Mr. Beck would be honored by this performance, and would love that Matteo plays pick-less 😁

Every time I listen to him I am dazzled by his great talent, his great technique and certainly by the emotions he manages to convey. This tribute to Jeff Beck is amazing.

music flows throught him. natural talent. joy to listen

Yikes! Amazing!

Incredibly clean and articulate without any show off. Tons of melodic ideas by the minute. Wow.

Impostazione, gusto, suono , tecnica, orecchio ... Perfetto. Mischia frasi Jazz,con blues ,con sfumature classiche . Straordinario

A beautiful performance and such an awesome instrument, love the Yamaha guitar.

I was getting some Shawn lane vibes with the tone and ultra fast pentatonics. He really is a magnificent player and love his finger style approach.

Unreal talent. Now I want to hear his solo album.

Wow. Classical fingerstyle killing it in a electric prog shred context. Absolutely stunning chops.

thank you Jeff and Matteo...beautiful.

Just when you think you about heard it all, Welcome Matteo you are pure delight to listen to, just sorry it took me this long to discover you.

Man, you play soooo great, Jeff would have loved it! Thx

He is not human .

Grazie Matteo for your amazing performance.... 👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏

An insane way to play the guitar. Mateo is awesome!!

Jeff would be honored and proud!

You can Ay what t a out Matteo Mancuso but Here's the facts. He has class, very respectful dedicated dedícate with alot3of concentration to play like that but various morons think he's a novelty. Think of the concentration level of his instrument and also playing without a pick which i no easy task In the genre of music and I know Jeff Beck would be proud.!!Thank You for all you do!!

The stunning quality of his articulation is a constant wonder. Every note has its own voice; nothing ever gets blurry and undefined. He's as good as there's ever been.

So many wonderful, great and young guitarists, today. And the winner is : MATTEO MANCUSO ! ❤

There is just no one like Mancuso, past and present. This is a whole brand new level of virtuosic playing. What a joy to watch and listen!

This guy is everything I like in a guitar player. Fast and technical, but musical. I'm a jazz saxophone player, so I love the fact that he incorporated jazz lines into his playing, especially in non jazz and blues songs. He plays every single musical style that I enjoy listening to and can fuse them into any genre that he plays in. A true musical virtuoso. I look forward to following his journey.

A superior mind. Heart, soul, passion, taste, enormous musical culture and knowledge. And much more. Born one in 100 years.

Not sure what was up with this crowd, but after that solo, they should have gone nuts. That was incredible and this guy never disappoints. Any chance of US tour?

L'impostazione della chitarra classica suonata divinamente su chitarra elettrica. Semplicemente un grande.

Monstrueux ! (Ridiculous!) 🤩

I've been playing guitar for years. I wish I could do what this young man does. Excellent!

I’ve never heard this guy before, but that is the best right hand technique I’ve ever seen.

*Matteo has an awesome talent for playing the guitar, an a humble personality to go with it. Been following him since he was 16 an even then I was impressed by his playing especially how he uses his fingers instead of a pick.*

Finally a super talent who manages to keep in mind the guitar is actually a musical instrument.

Outstanding!

Absolutely brilliant!

I never tire of your genius.

He is fast, precise, melodic with a beautiful tone.., and still.., he is just another one in a row compared to to the uniqueness’s of Jeff beck. There will never be another one.., we were just blessed to live in his time.

Oh my GOSH!! It's breathtaking!

His right hand (picking) technique is surely the best ever, to play that cleanly and precisely using fingerstyle on electric guitar, unprecedented

A friend turned me onto the amazing player. So grateful

Puro talento,e applicazione con amore....grazie Matteo !!!

Inizio la giornata sulle note di Matteo e mi rendo conto del sacro e del profano.... grazie Matteo!

The boundaries keep getting knocked down, I doubt anyone can really copy this unless they start adopting this stuff from the get go. Also sounds to me like this guy has a ton of theory he's working on the back of. And a great musical ear. I must have rewound this thing 15 times at different sections. Blown away is me.

Congratulations for the camera man. Mateo, thanks for all the music. You are amazing.

Amazing, and seeing and hearing is believing.

WOW Matteo how you flow from one style to another is amazing absolutely love it

Jaysus, Matteo is one serious off the scale talent, and such a unique approach. He's so much more musical than many #shredheads before him. 🤘🏻

Amazing as always, great playing Matteo.!!

Great thanks

Uno dei migliori chitarristi del mondo e, forse, di sempre. Di sicuro la sua impronta rimarrà per sempre. Go Italy! 🇮🇹💪

Amazing! Congratulations and my best regards from Chile 💖 🎸
