Such a talented and humble guitarist. He seems a genuinely nice guy. Zero ego.
Kid was definitely raised right 👍
Matteo is like a brother for me, is going to be a legend and remained the same boy as when we were teenagers and beardless ;)
Actually you should hear him in his native language.
"Sono così felice che sia finita. Quel Beatto ha fatto domande strane. Quindi gli ho dato delle stronzate"
Lui lo è senza nessun ombra di dubbio.
@@handyc77 when did he say that?
best thing of this video is the Lee's unhidden emotion of being in front of Matteo. He's clearly without words. And this shows the passion he has.
Not to sound like another commercial for Yamaha, but they build some of the most incredible musical instruments for the price. Totally underrated as a source of quality, affordable musical gear. Kudos to Matteo for bringing that to our attention. That boy is something else, and at 68 years old, I gladly learn from him.
Всё верно.
Nobody is as brave as Lee - soloing over Matteo’s playing! And doing well!
cringe 🙊
"Paul Gilbert can't play my stuff" is an instant classic. I've watched many interviews with Matteo and he's such a humble guy, so a joke like that is extra funny because: 1) It's out of character 2) It's actually true
It’s funny cuz of all the guitar players out there on his level, Paul’s the nicest guy and will probably laugh along. In Paul’s defense he’s awesome too and atleast Paul has a #1 pop hit song in his bag that he can tour on and make a living with to this day! 😂😂😂😂
Yamaha better give this man anything he asks. Absurd player, technically as well as musically.
I agree. If yamaha were smart they'd start using him and Chris Buck etc in ad campaigns.
Yamaha couldn't care less about that- they only care how many eyes he can put their instrument in front of. If a lesser player can put it in front of more ppl- they'll give it to him.
I think he deserves a signature guitar ! He would possibly say no ? And maybe it would be better to wait some time but he is very influential and If there was a lighter model made of the Yamaha rev-star I would be trying them !! I recently tried an ESP white snow with active pickups guitars that I loved but my back was hurting after 5 minutes . They were way too heavy and it made me so annoyed. I have a pain condition. Anyway with the Yamaha if they can make the guitar weigh less than 3.0 kilograms that will make it more accessible!! How about 2.5 kilograms ) I think epiphone casino and myIbanez quest are 2.5 kilograms roughly . Anyway I personally think a guitar that is lighter would be excellent for his style of playing ! Especially if you want to play and practice for an hour and then take a :) break . I do hope Matteo is treated well by Yamaha ! He seems quite loyal to their guitars .
@@yayayaokoksure I only recently heard him and damn chris buck has such an amazing tone and I realllllly like his playing . I would have to listen more but he makes me want to play a lot slower .
Chris buck is a beast !
@@Nickshreds890 ya hes the epitome of choosing the right notes at the right time
I knew him personally in 2021. In real life he is the same like in public. Great player, great person. Very humble
Big props to the cap for actually following that solo by Matteo. I'm not sure I would have.
What an amazing player Matteo is.
And Yamaha sales go through the roof! So nice to listen to such a talented guitarist talk about affordable guitars instead of insane, out of reach instruments.
Yamaha deserve some good press. I’ve never had a bad experience with their products from guitars and amps to motor bikes. Excellent quality company.
Love my Yamaha acoustic. Great bang for the buck
Got a Revstar, got an acoustic, really want one of the higher end pacificas. Yamaha are great.
The best thing second to none is the approach he has with people.
No matter if he’s dealing with Di Meola or with an unknowned guy in a jam.
No matter if he’s interviewed by Beato or a young podcaster…he’s down to earth.
He will probably be remembered as one of the most innovative player like EWH or other guitar hero on this level.
An absolute MONSTER of a player. I’ve never heard anyone with such precision and mastery of their technique yet all the while having the ability to be wildly melodic and musical in their playing. What a treasure Matteo Mancuso is.
This guy is from Italy but he speaks THE TRUTH
WHICH IS UNIVERSAL
TRUTH AND HONESTY + HUMBLE = ❤️ 💯
Matteo’s dad is also a wonderful guitarist and kind of a master of that patient style of jazz, super musical. So its really nice to see that, despite the crazy technical virtuosity, hes also very very musical and intentional with his playing
So basically with a Revstar or a Pacifica guitar and an HX Stomp, you can "rule the world" when you are so talented. It does put hings into perspective when it comes to gear.
Revstars are beautiful, highly underrated guitars.
Dare I say it..Hendrix stunned the world when he dropped into the limelight, it seems everyone is similarly and correctly stunned by Matteo. What a mature player, logical and open in his approach and clearly determined to get the sound he wants with very accessible gear. Like Mr Govan Matteo can likely play any genre of music he chooses. Who needs the Murphy Labs guitars and high end amps? Matteo proves that with around £1500 or so we too can have the same kind of instrument and a Helix. Wow, simply jaw dropping technique and sound. Perhaps there is hope for us all there???
Lots of cool facts about Matteo.
First of all, he proves that even after so many giants on this instrument, a kid from anywhere can still can come into the scene and be different and original. Second, the fact that he doesn't need a really expensive rig to sound amazing is a really good lesson for a lot of us who think that "another pedal" ou "another guitar" is what's gonna make us sound amazing. Well, maybe we should just practice more! Last, it's pretty refreshing to see the "fair play" on so many established artists on giving such a good light on a new talent. Guys like Steve Vai, Satriani, Bonamassa and so on, have been propper class acts in that regard.
Cheers.

He's not that different other than he plays with his fingers. What he has is amazing skill. Acrobatics on guitar. That was what the 80's did. So this is regurgitation. So I want to see him write. His album has alot of noise with zero focus on composition. It's very self indulgent. Very opposite Eddie Van Halen. EVH was always about serving the song. He was the rhythm section. and you can sing his solos. That's a legend. If Matteo can actually write? The sky is his.
@handyc77 in this interview he did state that composition is the direction he is taking, so I think he gets it. I haven't heard the album yet so I can't comment on noise, but I have seen some great live vids with some very melodic playing. You're right, the sky's the limit. He seems to have his head on straight and goals.
@@1satisfiedmind let's hope he can write. First album... Not one song on it I could walk awaying humming the songs in my head. That's writing. Thats composition. Find a motif and make itt musical. Take chances. Start writing it down. and turn that into art. AND kill the hoodie. Because the appreciation for skill died when Kurt Cobain landed. And all of a sudden, a ton of players (who were just as good as matteo without the fingerpicking.) who were out of jobs because we had forgotten what Dylan said "All you need is 3 chords, a red guitar and the truth," Arpeggios and scales up and down the neck is impressive. But when it comes to the human heart? You only need three chords. And when we are wanking with our guitar all day, it starts to become masturbatory. So what is jaw-dropping to the guys who are just in awe. Odds are most women find it boring. What he should do (and I don't even care for the guy) is have John Mayer teach him how to write a song. But that requires humility and welcoming data so he can improve
@@handyc77 You've just dissed every non-composer classical master on Earth. Master the instrument and technique, which are important, then meditate on making original compositions. The best of two symbiotic worlds. And Mancuso is young and humble enough to actually accomplish both and do it with gear that is financially accessible to anyone with a modicum of talent.
@@ub59
I didn't dismiss anyone except you, assclown. And I must have hit an insecurity or you're just having a bad day. Ok.
Of ourse you don't need to "master" the instrument. i.e. Kurt Cobain who was terrible at the guitar but that didn't matter. When I say "master?" have a command of the instrument like it was their own limb And when they are confident in the song and can improvise a solo? they waste with wankery cause the song os what matters He brought in millions. That is what I am refferring to. Obviously we know how that panned out.
The classical guitar genre doesn't bring in much revenue. Annual average is 50k to 60k. They often have to buy rights to the piece. But everthing is charted.
Theory is only the language that allows musicans to communicate. We all know music has been around way longer than theory. So only theory is needed in order for one songwriter and their professional partner communcicate the artifacts of the song. If one knows theory, tanscribing a punk song is not necessary. EVH, SRV, didn't know theory. But they knew how to EMOTE trhrough thie instrument. The kids now have CZcams with slo motion to learn how to play any solo they want.
If you can play a Matteo solo exactly note for note, you only have the skills to play a good song But ultimately where is the song? Metallica is another one where Helfied starts a riff because his rhythm playing was Godly. But Metallica had SONGS. Hetfield could write a reall good hook even in metal. I still can sing the And Justice For All hook.. Because it's memorable.
Why wouldn't Matteo make that his goal instead? The guitar is having ifun in the mainstream as more guitars were bought between 2020 and 2023. But when kids are just learning to solo without context. if one knows anything about songwriting, just playing 4 simple chords with intense emotion to a crowd. Or wouild you rather connect to an audience that aren't just there to see him.
I learned by ear with a little theory, and take it by ear. But i had to learn three chords first. On a real piece of shit called the guitar. But the smaeapplies to any rock. pop, jazz genre. You don't have to have backround singers, fake detuners. fake drums..To get something viral or huge, it HAS to HAVE a very stong sense of melody or hook
All i meant was when most people realliize that AI is writing all their songs, learning how to put your song in the zeitgeist, most DON'T hardly play a guitar. The guitar is an aesthetic to a song unless it's the only instrument playing.
Asato is going viral purely by releasing 1-2 minutes of a song that we all know. But his arrangement with include both melody and the songs that builds around it. It shouldn't be necessary to play that song with a solo unless the song demands it.
My point is one can write with three chords. A novice player can play chords and play some. But his sense of melody is so good. people can't help but find that melody or "hook" catchy, Someone remembers it and then the next time that guitarist and his band came though, there were more people (dudes).
So if one is going to hit an audience emotionally, whether it is played by those who understand theory or one who only knows three chords. Does anyone rember Van Halen? "Didn't know theory but had an amazing ear and technique to play which eventually led him to write songs. Because EVH knew that people remeber the song first. They topped the charts and became oven more legendary.
Radiohead and Van Halen. Apples and oranges when it comes to aesthetic and a bunch of dudes who saw them just so they can sing along. All of these players who are showing up with a beer gut and decides to play "For The Love of God" (Steve Vai) on an acoustic had to stop. Because se he was having problems soloing an acoustic guitar. That player's name is Steve Vai. Forgotten as artist despite amazing skills. Below are some Ozzy tracks live, studio, and one original classical composition.

Captain you really did an amazing job with this interview 👍👍.
The best new guitarist in the world!
Its always a great sight when someone of such talent and stature is also incredibley humble.
The difference between talking and doing⚡️⚡️⚡️ excellent Matteo keep doing it!!!!! @matteomancuso
The Captain must have watched a lot of Michael Parkinson growing up cos he's a mighty fine interviewer. Respectful, knowledgeable with a perfect amount of fun. I've enjoyed many of the Captain meets episodes. Keep 'em coming please!
He is a bit like parky isn't he!
I remember Claudio Quartarone playing like this (the right hand technique) many years ago. Congratulations to Matteo for his immense talent.
OMG what talented dude is Matteo? Very humble and genuine person, my best wishes for you career!
Another Italian guitar genius. I remember watching an interview with Luca Faraone and being really impressed...
Wondering how many Revstars and Pacificas have been sold today because of this video!
I'm about to buy one.
Only ever seen G and F on these shows.
You'll never regret it. I bought a Revstar Pro (made in Japan... the Standard is made in Indonesia, but Yamaha's QC is still tops in that shop) and now smirk at the price of the Les Pauls and SGs as Yamaha is now on level ground or better with quality build, tone and playability. I also ordered an SA2200, Yamaha's version of the 335, and the sales guy put me in a room with a rack of genuine 335's right beside me to try it out. I played the SA for a while then switched to a very expensive 335. They were equal in playability, but the 335 was 2 1/2 times the price, and Gibson's QC is not what is used to be. The decision was easy.
Mind 'BLOWN'!!! Thank you for taking the time with us here Matteo. SO appreciated. And thank you Lee for 'persevering'!!! ;-)
Listen, Matteo has worked SO hard on his mind as well as his mechanical technique... but make no mistake, _his DNA was altered with a special and unique touch from God._ That's HOW it's possible.
I'm thankful to be around to witness the evolution and growth we're going to see from him. _He's going to inevitably create significant memories in the guitar arena in the years to come!_
11:49 " A Mix of Nail and Flesh" would be a good album name.
Yes, that's an awesome idea!
Matteo and Alex Hutchings together would be a melodic marvel🎸🤘🏻
Would LOVE to see this!
I'd prefer with Govan
@@GonnyParson And there’s the rub, I don’t find Guthrie that melodic, I can only take so much of his playing before I get bored of it, whereas Alex has much more of a melodic jazz background.
@@fusionfan6883 Oh ok. Got it.
How am I just now realizing that the Captain's infamous lick is now the intro on every video!? Amazing.
His dad is amazing as well is great when they play together. Crazy how they have taken the style to the electric guitar
Yamaha need to make that Revstar available
Matteo is the evolution of the guitar for the next 20 or 30 years ahead. He's changing the game with his fingestyle technique and his ability to do chords and solos basically at the same time. It's out of this world. We've been watching something amazing happening in front of us.
Probably the most Centered Musician on the planet..........such a joy to behold . Always makes me smile
What about Jacob Collier?
@@karayuschij not quite as technically gifted, but Collier is very complex in his harmonic approach, like Mancuso
I'd check out Julian Lage, and perhaps reconsider.
Such a humble person on top of such talent, really makes him so likable...
Mateo.., I was telling all my family and friends about you over a year ago..... I knew you were gonna be someone special...
My guitar instructor was the same gentleman who taught Tim Pierce, and he passed away without ever knowing of you.... I know he's a huge fan watching down from heaven with all the greats cheering you on!!
Love everything about Matteo's playing, musicality, technique, sound, tone, and personality. I feel so happy and privileged to hear and see such a wonderful musician and guitarist. What a great way to start the day! Thanks Matteo and Anderton's 👏
Legend in the making, thoroughly enjoyed this!
Lee in complete awe. Awesome to watch! Great video.
Absolutely absurd and what a nice person. Captain you hung in well your chops are really looking great!
Brilliant video. Excellent guest.
It's all a case of doing what you love in your capabilities and matteo does it beautifully. He's a master of his craft and still learning so well, absolute respect to him.
Just incredible , he is so good and seems like a really nice guy. His first album is super amazing.
No matter if Matteo is playing a single note, a bunch of notes, a lick or a full song... 'coz... each note is so beautifully implemented and delivered that it's a pleasure!
AND his musical vocabulary is so big and wide that covers the entire history of electric guitar music regardless of genre.
Well... I'm writing from Palermo-Sicily... so maybe I'm just a bit biased about our Matteo! 😁
World needs a world tour of Matteo and his band. Come to Finland! Lee and Pete too!! Cheers from this super interview, greetings from Finland!
Great interview, very inspiring guys, good work, Winning!!!
Great interview, monster player. Kudos to Lee for following Matteo in the jam!
Amazing interview! Lee, your playing sounded great too!
One of the GOAT, Its time to recognize this. Not only as a musician, but also as a person.
Cool jam!! Great interview
Can we all appreciate what a nice contrast was to hear Lee soloing over Matteo's chords? Both very different vibes but very tasty licks there!
I love how Matteo explains his technique so everyone can learn how to play like this!! A heart of gold, such a Smashing lad🎉❤
Unbelievable, so good, so entertaining. Thanks for sharing your art with us Matteo.
Fantastic interview Captain, great job. Thanks
Well done Lee with the lovely playing yourself. I really admire you for being able to do that.
Really great interview. ❤
Matteo Mancuso, the MAN, the LEGEND !!!
Truly amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
a very beautiful interview! grazie capitano!!
Dude melts faces!
Hats off to the Captain, especially for the jam….Great stuff!
🔥🔥🔥Amazing interview of a amazing guy!
You did well! Complicated to find The good questions but you find out ;) delightful interview and Matteo ... equals to himself only
🙏🙏🙏
This young genius has been my favourite since I saw heard it on CZcams good job Matteo
Well, that was awesome. I loved Lee's reaction at the end playout. Which echoed mine 😀
years ago, I took a basic music course as part of my history BA. the lecturer said something like, 'And of course, non-Western music doesn't necessarily use our note system, the Western notation.' Confused, I raised my hand and asked, 'Could you please explain?' she responded, 'Wait?! Is that not clear? Who else didn't get it?' And the entire class raised its hand."😅
There are no words that are justice enough to describe Matteo's technique, sound, notes, playing style and so on, it is on a level beyond limit !
Great interview and holding your own there Captain. Respect👊🍺
The captain is so likeable. Very humble and becoming a very good interviewer these days! And great solo captain, you actually played really well!
Wow, I will watch out for him.
amazing !!!!!!!
Wow this is one of the Best Captain meets of all time, this guy is on fire!
Hey captain great job with rhythm support 👍👍
Love the loyalty to his Yamaha
What an absolutely top chap, and doing all this in a second language is just showing off lol.
Great interviewee.
Very humble for such a ridiculously talented human.
Omg he is a very inspirational player and totally unique. Thanks for sharing Captain 🧑✈️
Lee love your responses, I felt the same and I wasn't in the room. Thank you for the post! All of them :)
Grande Matteo!!
I'd be happy if I could play like The Captain. That was a fun jam. Great video.
I dream about a duo Matteo Mancuso and Max Ostro…
Max is great too but I think he'd run out of phrases before Matteo.
@@bobwreck3775 🙄
Hey don't listen to the haters your are great @@MaxOstro
Video bellissimo complimenti 🎸💥🤟🎶grande Mancuso. 🎉
no words...outside of brilliant !
This channel is amazing
Just INSANE talent!!!
Great video
Matteo, our pride
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Simply unbelievable
Nice work on guitar Lee!
Matteo is terrific. And congrats to Lee for sticking it, and not backing up into the hedge and disappearing like Homer Simpson.
The future of guitar is in good hands... What a player... and Matteo plays nice too ( :
It's the tone, clarity and separation of each note along with the insane speed of delivery that makes Matteo such a very special player...he's like an electric Julian Bream on steroids..!!.
I would love a collaboration with George Benson, That would be awseome!
Great interview, Lee. You let the conversation breathe.
He is insane! GRANDE MATTEO😀🤘
He plays so smooth.
Talking about gear, it is interesting to see so many young and gifted artists using modern guitars instead of vintage (or vintage inspired) guitars.
You can really see the eric johnson influence during the jam, absolutely killer playing and tone, yamaha really need to step up and get this man whatever he wants and make some signatures
Awesome musician
This lad really has taken the instrument to the next level.
True Genius
Total class.
Absolutely!
