not only his right hand but his tone is so warm and plays clean! sounds like he was playing for almost 50 years
His amazing technique alone would be a pinnacle achievement, but it is topped but a musicality and creativity that knows no bounds. Truly a great musician, and still very young. Easily my favorite guitarist these days.
I’ve met him few days in Montreux at Guitar Show exhibition .. well, what to say… he seems humble and kind person… it was nice to meet him… I hope through the years he will keep that humility ! 🙏 he’s truly gifted from God !
it's just so beautiful to see guitar legends talking about Matteo like that ... !
Quello che lo rende unico e diverso da tutti gli altri, oltre alla tecnica della mano destra che lo rende velocissimo nei fraseggi, è la sua capacità di suonare qualsiasi genere musicale.
Grande Matteo, orgoglio italiano.
It's incredible, he's reinvented the instrument with his right hand. Just when I thought we'd seen everything.
looks like his left hand wasnt fkuking around either
He's playing classical and flamenco styles on electric. Listen to Paco de Lucia playing with Al DiMeola. But he is a very talented musician.
I'm from the famous 68 years, I know nearly each guitar player since that time. But the young Italian blows them up. His musical talent, his way of expressing himself is so exceptionally, so I can't find another words.

Matteo Mancuso is such a humble and simple but at the same time grandiose and virtuous personality that you are enchanted!👍🏻💪🏻
The speed is one thing… the economy and ease of motion and precise attack… breathtaking.
Pulizia accuratezza e la completezza con cui ogni nota è presente e si riescie a sentire in modo definito.Geniale
My interest in music spans across multiple genres but I would have to say that the harmonic sophistication of jazz interests me the most. It's not about it being a contest about what's the most complex. I just find it more interesting, more possibilities than the confines of blues rock pentatonic universe. I still love a lot of rock and blues music, definitely. It's about contrast and variation and new sounds. With that said, it seems that a lot of people who mainly love rock based music are more in awe of Matteo for his shredding/chops/lots of notes/fast component. Sure, that's impressive, especially his right-hand technique. However, for me it's how he *applies* his knowledge of music in general and his use of sophisticated jazz harmonics, etc. It's the *notes*, not how many of them there are. I think I would love this guy's playing even if he played with a pick and his technique was half of what it is, because what he would be playing would still be creative and compelling melodically and harmonically.
Nailed it. Of course I love "shredding" and technical playing, especially with such a novel approach to electric guitar soloing - but the man stands on the shoulders of giants also when it comes to phrasing, the confidence he has is just mindblowing.
Mancuso and Mateus Asato are already LEGENDS in my book - both are other-worldly in their own ways. So melodic. So HUMBLE. They BOTH bring joy to my world.
Seguo da tanti anni i video di Matteo Mancuso e mi ha sempre colpito il suo modo di suonare e la varietà di generi che riusciva a fare. Tanta qualità, grande Matteo.
I was in a bad depression after my all time favorite guitarist, Jeff Beck, passed away early last year. Just did not care to listen to music anymore. About 3 months ago I discovered Matteo Mancuso. His wonderful guitar playing made me ❤ guitar driven music again. I would hope Jeff Beck would like his playing as well.
That's good ❤ check out Jason Becker too if you haven't heard his music 🎶 as he was way ahead if his time in the 80s
@christineayres7199 I was fortunate to see Cacophony but thanks for heads up.
@@SLAYERSWINE1 Awesome 😎👍 Sad that Jason got ALS but Marty Friedman still going strong , Shawn Lane was brilliant too back in the day
@@christineayres7199 Would have loved to have seen Shawn Lane. Saw footage recently of Mancuso & Jonas Helborg playing. As you probably know, Helborg played with Lane,too.
@@SLAYERSWINE1 Yeah and also Jeff Healey was amazing 🤩 too
Yes. He's really so humble. Living in Italy I've already had the luck of watching him live nearby, in some nice and intimate context.
So humble and yet displaying all the ingredients that make a master of both instrument and music.
Absolutely fabulous!!! Well done Maestro!
Well done. I grew up playing fingerstyle from classical and flamenco, but never thought to use it on electric with jazz, blues etc. until Matteo. A revelation. His right hand technique with thumb resting on lower strings is the picado one I learned from flamenco.
Perfect compilation, very good job!
Yes, he is a new introduction to electric guitar. Reset and relearn this brave new world
Also Max Ostro is incredible !
Yes! Max is my personal favorite, his sense of improvisation and his technique are just insane (in a good way)! 😁
@@MetalheadNationcheck out Marcin?
Great video.
Bass guitarists might be able to apply same principle to a guitar, definitely open up a new realm, Beautiful and smooth vibrato as well, what a talent.
I don't know if there's something wrong with me, but when I hear this fellow Sicilian play his guitar, I cry because of how beautiful it sounds. I am just going to come right out with it, and say that Matteo is the very best guitarist I have ever heard in my 66 years of living.
I love matteo , im still lovimg Jimi, Stevie , Eddie and Robin Trower. Peace.
I can't stop humming all those memorable tunes he's written!
😀
Wow ! What a gift to the world.
Thank you!
Matteo ha semplicemente ricevuto il testimone da chi è venuto prima. Non è diverso dal migliorare l'atletica, il pattinaggio e altri sport. Ma ciò che è squisitamente unico è duplice: 1: l'applicazione della pennata per chitarra classica; & 2. avere un orecchio così creativo da cantare istintivamente nella melodia a differenza di chiunque altro.
Bello.💓💓💓💓💓💓
It’s art so there isn’t really ‘the best’. It’s not a sport and thus a competition. That said, Matteo is a phenomenal player. His phrasing is extraordinary plus he’s a really nice young man too.
Effettivamente è allucinante! Non ci sono parole.
Is it snowing there? Good times. Yes, Matteo is the dude. He's really good.
Matteo Mancuso n.1 in assoluto!!!
His technique and ease are incredible. He's got so much soul. Like Jeff Beck and all the people singing his praises in the intro, Matteo is in a class by himself.
I really believe this is the one dude that truly forms a new generation of players. And that is a huge thing. I've never seen anyone with the Right hand, but left hand as well. Fluent, fluid, liquid volcano.. he's a pioneer innovator. Love his playing amazing stuff..
Cool Wow!
Matteo 👌🎼
My favorite right now is Mateo! I've heard a lot of criticism from guitar players, it's not just mathematical, sterile playing, I do hear the soul in his playing. It's so obvious that these people are seriously jealous 😁 and I get it, but his talent cannot be denied!
Some of us have known about and seen him as the best guitar player for 8-10 years now. I've seen videos where he as 16 year old does the stuff he does now. About time the of you woke up and discovered him. Better late than never i guess.
Yes thank you. People need to know he was already a master in his mid teens. It's like he woke up one day and could just do what he does.
Yeah! Blew my mind, seeing his country/fusion on a Tele style instrument, and from then on I told everyone I knew about it.
Matteo is the future for sure. So young with so much ability and character. 👍👍👍
The thing with Mancuso's technique is that he can easily shift 2 gears faster than the fastest picker on earth
So in the pocket! Amazing.
Perfect playing, perfect tone...and his g-face is pretty good too! 😙
A very very very good Talent Musician !!!
Matteo is quickly making his his own path up the ladder.
Billy Sheehan on guitar! Bravo Matteo
Matteo Mancuso is in a league of his own , a unique talent exactly like the alien Shawn Lane . The young Italian artist will be a legend .
I'm really excited for Mateus to see what material he releases. That first album hit me like a John Mcglaughlin or Al Di Meola album. Just complete mastery over the intsrument.
I look forward to where he takes us.
Luv and Peace.
👑 *Matteo Mancuso* 👑
Early days to say if he'll create anything truly epic musically. Technically, one of the best to date though, no doubt about it.
Maurizio Solieri, Dodi Battaglia, Pino Daniele, Franco Cerri, Andrea Braido: Italy is the country of guitar. And Steve Vai, Al Di Meola, Rick Beato, Frank Zappa, Joe Satriani, John Frusciante, Bonamassa, Jon Bon Jovi and many more...all people with italian roots. So, no surprise.
It's true @@gillian67ec
Don’t forget about the greatest Italian guitar player- Jimi Hendrix!
LOL. He wasn't, but he probably would have wanted to @@BlackGuardBilly

The best guitar players for me are the ones that create iconic memorable leads and riffs that become the lexicon of our music.
I was thinking the same. You don't need to be a virtuoso, you need to find the right hidden chords and notes for unforgettable music.
Well give him time he just started 😂
You mean just like Jimmy Page, Stevie Ray Vaughan, David Gilmour, Keith Richards, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Jimmy Hendricks, Van Halen etc. They were young when they did what they did.
What I'm saying here is that, there are genius virtuosos, and then there are genius writers, my music professor told me once, "all the virtuoso artists would give their right hand to be able to write like the icons do". Saying that I give much respect to Matteo, the next genius virtuoso on guitar.@@marquelleal7123
Which is quite a weird and incorrect opinion since a good player does not mean a good composer. Certainly Beethoven is not the best piano or violin player in history altough he was amongst the best composers fir both instruments. Genial outstanding players frequently never composed, Yehudi Menuhin to quote just one. Only in modern guitar and frequently rock there is that silly tendence to mix composing and playing with the absurd result that very bad players are considered very good guitarists because they compose beautiful solos or riffs. Being a virtuoso and mastering the instrument is what means being a great player. The rest is subjective useless opinions, generally by non musicians.
Good points, however I stand by my opinion, and respect yours as not being USELESS! @@rod88855
It's like when Shawn Lane came on the scene and blew everybody out of the water; no one could believe what they were seeing and hearing! Now Matteo is that guy wth the inimitable and flawless style playing super complicated Holdsworth-like riffs effortlessly! His electric guitar fingerpicking looks absolutely impossible yet it's impeccable!
Oltre a Matteo, meritano apprezzamento queste leggende della chitarra che escono dall'autoreferenzalità e sono aperte al mondo, pronte a mettere evidenza nuovi talenti. È anche grazie a questa loro apertura mentale che grandi musicisti come Matteo Mancuso possono emergere.
This guy is the real deal, I have followed the world’s best guitarist for 55 years and he is by far the best guitarist I have ever heard in my life and there is no comparison.
DEF my fave of the new guitarists! He's INSANE! Never seen him do the VAN HALEN b4. OMG!
Congrats Matteo!!
Randy Rhoads was the last young gutair prodigy that was light years ahead as a player and (more so) in his songwriting abilities .Randy played his acoustic parts in his compositions like all classical guitar players .but this guy has taken it to a whole new level .
something in the air in the past 5 years. I've also nearly abandoned the pick altogether and started developing my fingerstyle technique in recent years without being aware that Matteo existed and was doing the same thing (only better, obviously)
A new humble star on the scene who is technically light years beyond the most players
The Kid embodies every great style from the greats-Lenny Breau’ , Halen, Johnson, Benson, Beck, Paco’ Pass’ Vai’ ,Satriani and few others - truly gifted
Let's also remember the monster guitar players 'Shawn Lane' & 'Jason Becker' who are both immensely praised by Guthrie Govan..
Off the top of my head as they enter my mind & in no particular order at all as I love then all..
Imagine Django Reinhardt, Chet Atkins, Merle Travis, Tommy Emmanuel, Doyle Dykes, Matteo Mancuso, Shawn Lane, Guthrie Govan, Paul Gilbert, Danny Gatton, Jeff Beck, Joe Bonamassa, Gary Moore, Scotty Moore, John Petrucci, Alan Holdsworth, Robert Johnson, Eric Johnson, Yngwie Malmsteen, Steve Vai, Joe Robinson, Steve Lukather, Steve Morse, Joe Walsh, Mark Knopfler, Jimmy Page, John Mayer, Hank Garland, Blind Blake, Marcus King, Kee Marcello, Vinnie Moore, Slash, Joey Landreth, Josh Smith, Eric Gales, Ariel Posen, Greg Koch, Blues Saraceno, Junior Brown, Brian Setzer, Jason Becker, Eddie Van Halen, B.B.Kings, Albert King, Freddie King, Joel Paterson, Andy Timmons, Brian May, Dimebag etc.. etc.. (the lost goes on & on & ooon..) these guys & so many more you could mention have been & still are some of the most inspirational guitarist of all time & it's so cool that there are more & more people on the planet, set to amaze us all in the present & into the future with jaw dropping talent..
The guitar itself may be an old invention, but it's definitely coming with us all into the future with these incredible folks that make us happy to hear their music.. 🤩
Well said..... and Shawn Lane was a freak! Considering his disabilities, he was a musical force of nature. His playing with Jonas Hellborg and the Vinayakram brothers still blows me away.
We certainly need more of that talented guitarist to continue keeping "guitar" in the forefront. It's almost as if he tapped in to universe and is able to channel any spirit of any great guitarist from the past, present and future :)
6:48 So true, so true.
Check out Max Ostro, another young guitarist that's not 20 yet
I first saw him 4-5 years ago and immediately identified his technique as the greatest ever.
Matteo Mancuso è giustamente ormai ritenuto da tutto il mondo tra i migliori chitarristi.
Egli merita il giudizio dei grandi contemporanei totalmente positivo. Nel suo caso è difficile pensare ad un miglioramento… È vero anche che nella vita c’è sempre da imparare. Comunque il suo talento è indiscutibile quindi il mio giudizio positivo non risente della nostra connazionalità.
Just what the world needs another guitar player
Being great with a guitar and writing a song that can grab the cultures attention (like Eryption from Eddy VH) are 2 different things
Scendi dal piedistallo amico. Mancuso Eryption di EVH la esegue seduto sul cesso questo ragazzo a una tecnica in paragonabile con tutto ciò che hai ascoltato fin d'ora.
the new worlds greatest guitarist is someone that no one as ever herd of, not even most guitarists. I miss the days were our guitar hero's was writing the best music and everyone knew who they was
Vai nailed it IMO. There are so many players who can play lightening fast these days, but it's not clean and they are just repeating patterns. With Matteo, his playing is masterfully clean and every note is played with intention, feel and touch.
Derek Trucks has been playing with his fingers like this for a long time!
This Guy was born in classical guitar this is how his fingers is faster then picking guitar using a pick.
Better is subjective.
Just imagine if he was around back in the 1980's when that speed playing stuff was popular. He would've been a legend.
at 26? WOW! ...at any age? WOW!
I have a vague memory of learning a Mateo Carcassi piece about 20 years back with and instruction for using all 4 fingers to repeat pick the same sting much like this Mateo seems to do, it was too awkward so i just used the same finger to pick the string 😂
Guess thats one of the many reasons i suck!
Non c'è ombra di dubbio..Matteo Mancuso li ha fossa tutti. È il nuovo Vangelo dei chitarristi di domani.
Jeff Beck + ,Himmy Hendrix + , ever Nr. ONE - - a touch of Paradise ❤
Apabullante somino técnico de mancuso : fraseos magnficos , con notas claras y limpias . Sumándose son magnificas( ¿ como puede lograr tanta rapidez y claridad utilizando los dedos de la mano derecha ? - recuerdo q Jeff beck tampoco usaba pua - además puede tocar cualquier estilo( jazz blues etc) me he fijado en los bonitos acordes q emplea y en las progresiones de escalas . Siempre consigue algo bonito armonica y melodicamente lo q le diferencia por ko de cualquier otro guitarrista-,y solo tiene 26 años!!! .Desde q lo descubrí en you tube estoy conmocionad.,guau!!!!! Que bueno es el chaval!!! El dijo q jimi hendrix le influyó, pero su estilo nada tiene,q ver con hendrix . Tiene técnica, profundidad y lirismo. Y solo suena a él .no. se el modelo de guitarra que utiliza, pero es muy chulas y suena muy bien
& its amazing BuckETheaD has still mastered no one ever mentioning him its god damn wild what hes done to achieve this
his technique is a little reminiscent of richie kotzen, although he sounds noticeably cleaner. really great.
He’s created his own style and technique. Like Jeff Beck, his individual style can only be truly played well, by him. Matteo is going to go down as one of the goats.
It's his his way of expressing his original art. He's a favorite to some for now until somebody else figures out a way to do something different
Danny Gatton recarnated in Italy...bravo!
If social media had been around when Mozart was 20 this is what would have happened with him.
So... Mancuso... Bonamassa... Vai... Satriani DiMeola.... is it the Italian D.N.A? 🇮🇹
He very well maybe the Best Player in the world. I’ve watched him play on other channels he is fantastic !!!!!!!
There's no best , I'd say Hendrix or Gilmore are in the Top 5 as the lyrics to their music mean more than guitar 🎸 notes if that makes sense , young Di Matteo needs to learn how to write ✍️ songs , Imagine if George Harrison or John Lennon only played guitar ? The Beatles would have sucked
@@christineayres7199 I agree with you but his technique is Great !
@@fabieneldridge3414 Yeah but I can train a Chimpanzee to play like this , Quote by Mozart lol 🤣 if you watch the movie you'll get the joke 😜
Looks like the guitar pick companies will be going out of business in the future.
And fake nails will sell out 😂
you will remember his name...
Everyone knows where he's from but no-one remembers his name. So rockn'roll
Yup. Hanging my hat on saying everything everyone else is saying now. Difference being, i was saying these about this guy 5 years ago.
Everyone`s gonna remember his name in a couple of years, 100% guaranteed
New techniques are cool but are they “musical”? If they are then they are deserving of the accolades and hype! Just my opinion.
Anton Oparin. His "Does Universal Guitar Technique Exist" video on CZcams is excellent.
O yes that dude is sick, i mean He is amazing. But there is a problem, western music industry don't like a lot when monster player came from East Europe, Asia, Russia, South America of Africa
@@bobibobik5903 Exactly.
I want remember you that Matteo has played also with Tommy Emmanuel
Same was said about young Italian guitarist Danielle Gottardo….what happened to him?
he probably never wasted his time watching CZcams
never realised Joe Bonamassa played left hand

Maravilha
