I think that it has become very obvious, that because of this young man; the rubric has been reconfigured. I say with all honesty that I do not believe I have ever witnessed a more pure display and expression of feeling, technical ability and unpretentious giftedness. If this young man is not the best....then the best has not yet surfaced which could be. After all, where was Matteo 7-10 years ago. It is all different now. I cannot listen to anyone else again the same way.
Past language...è un brano che continuo ad ascoltare decine di volte di seguito e non riesco a smettere...gli è uscito direttamente dall'anima!!! Questo ragazzo è magico...il Re Mida della chitarra...ogni tasto che pigia diventa armonia e melodia pura!!!
Mr. Mancuso is so young, and already deserves a tribute. I have no words to describe what he transfers with his guitar. True emotion, outstanding technique. A whole complete guitarist and musician. Simply amazing, unbelievable. Thank God I was suggested to watch (and most importantly to listen to) these videos.
Today, if I had the first pick in the guitarist draft, I'm going with Matteo. He covers every genre with impeccable speed, clarity, phrasing, and soul.
Very few guitar players can shred a fast climbing arpeggio and stick the climax high note long enough for a nice long vibrato. Flawless and satisfying to listen to this master of the strings. I can only imagine the thousands of hours practicing to get this good.
There are guys that transcend technique and even the instrument itself: Bach, Beethoven, Liszt, Chopin, Bird, Art Tatum, Jaco, Jeff Linsky, Yamandu Costa and Matteo Mancuso. He is right there with the heaviest of company. Beyond great.
Don't forget Shawn Lane for guitar. No one has quite reached his level, even today. Check him out if you have not heard of him, You're in for a very pleasant surprise. Matteo is one of the best, beyond great, I agree.
Matteo demonstrates as always his incredible eclettism. No jazz here, no fusion. Not strange scales or arpeggios. "Only" a pop rock solo. But what a class, what a feel, what a expressive performance! Music flows so naturally from his brain to his fingers...bending at 0.56 makes me crazy! But technique is only one of the aspects of his PURE ART.
He has surpassed his peers leaving smoke in the rearview mirror. Absolutely incredible and phenomenal. His fluidity and phrasing coupled with his feeling and emotion is unparalleled. I am looking forward to seeing what Matteo continues to create.
È solo qualche mese che ti ho scoperto, ma se potessi rinascere vorrei essere capace quanto te a regalare emozioni. Tu SUONI la chitarra!!! Complimenti.
Amazing playing. Everyone looks at Matteo right hand while I am hooked by the left. Right hand fingers technique is functional to the speed of left hand fingers.
Terrific note selection and outstanding right hand technique. One more great guitarist that I will be following. Glad I found him! YT got this one right! Lol
Astonishing, otherworldly virtuosity combined with deeply expressive heartfelt intentions make for a truly complete musical experience! And he's really cute, too!
I want an album of this kind of musicality. I agree, he has the gift that only a few are blessed with every generation. His voice cuts through the technique into something very powerful. Lucky bastard.
Matteo... Ti seguo da moltissimo, e la prima volta che ti ho sentito suonare, mi sono detto questo è un fenomeno!. Sono passati anni e sei migliorato ancora, studio Govan da un po di tempo, e lo reputo il migliore al Mondo oggi, e pensavo non credo ci sarà qualcuno migliore in futuro per qualità. E poi arrivi tu che hai reinventato lo strumento, un nuovo livello, complimenti davvero!
Sir, your facial expressions make me smile: it shows to me you feel the emotions that music brings. And that's why we play/listen to music, right? It's sheer beauty. And that's on top of your playing technique itself. And your sound. In short: WOW!
when I was a child I remember that the faces my father made while playing the guitar made me laugh a lot. and I always made fun of him ... now is my daughter is making fun of me when Im playing! : D
Now that was much better than last video. Beautiful melody and relax feeling to listen it. Almost cried and that says all from me. Edit. Listen second time now some tears. Beautiful!!!
For my money , right now , the best guitarist in the world , Matteo mancuso here, max ostro and Julian Lage. These three are in a strata above all others as far as I’m concerned. Salud
I'd personally say not Max Ostro, I absolutely love his playing he's insane but I've always thought of him to be like Matteo's little brother - Matteo seems to be like the more complete version of Max. I'd replace him with maybe Guthrie.
Never seen a sentence like "to be in a strata above all" but it makes completely sense. Nevertheless "strata" is a plural, so you should use the singular form "stratum". This is a simple Latin rule of thumb useful in many situations, exempli gratia: Curriculum (sing)/Curricula (plur)
Blows my mind every time! Things you can do without a pick, if you're a genius and have the manual dexterity. And most importantly, the soul to drive the expression! Matteo has what it takes...Rock on MM! You are one of the best!
Grazie Matteo Grande Musicista con il tuo talento assoluto tecnica e sensibilità musicale stai contribuendo alle potenzialità infinite di questo meraviglioso strumento , la chitarra in tutte le sue forme e versioni
La penso esattamente come te Carlo poi il fatto che Matteo é giovane la dice lunga sulla possibilità di progredire e sviluppate musicalmente, certo la stoffa di base ci vuole sempre!😏😉
Uno dei suoi soli da me preferiti, per semplicità (relativa, rispetto al suo standard) grande lirismo, timing, super fraseggio e cristallina linearità melodica. Un capolavoro.
Wonderful ! His right hand technique and lines will change future playing. The notes are so separated and fluid compared to sweep picking. Thank you, keep the music coming.
Incredibile quanti pochi commenti in italiano ci sono. Non conosciamo bene il valore di certi italiani, che poi inevitabilmente vanno via perché molto più apprezzati...
Matteo, ta légende est déjà construite. Merci pour ce bonheur, merci pour ton travail sur notre instrument, pour toutes ces choses qu'on n'aurait jamais imaginé être faisable. Tu fais grandir ton art. Et nous avec ! 👍🤩🤩👍😘
Forse te l'ho già detto un migliaio di volte, comunque sei chitarrista più mostruosamente talentuoso che abbia mai sentito. E in 52 anni ne ho sentiti...
