Very good reaction bro! Yes Matteo in interviews states Alan Holdsworth has been one of his inspirers, as well as Eric Johnson. Have a look at his cover of Cliffs of Dover. You won't be able to say if Matteo's cover is close if not better than the original, with an equipment worth no more than 1500 to 2000 euros. This song like the others in his first album (the journey) have been composed by him. Also check what Joe Bonamassa, Steve Vai, Al Di Meola said about Matteo
He definitely has a Jeff Beck vibe to his music and style in the way he uses his fingers instead of a pick. The guitar tone he used was also reminiscent of Jeff Beck.
