Now try Bach's A minor fugue 😈 (great playing btw)

Lol 😆 maybe that was the wrong lick he thought of 🤷‍♂️

the difference in tone is irreconcilable tho

With pick sounds soo bad

Great job however it has completely different feel when you play it with fingers.

E la Musica, quando?

accents are not correct.. try again

It's more a question of is it efficient rather than is it possible. But just because you can, doesn't mean you should

It's good but still lagging off the beat

With pick it’s not so clean!

Mancuso playing effortlessly with prefect tone. The other... Not so much...

Play it on a clean tone

Je n'aime pas et je ne peux pas bien jouer d'une guitare à manche fin

Comme c'est joli une guitare électrique avec un manche plus épais

not nearly as clean as the non pick version

Well you can't play asturias with a pick. That would have been a solid example.

Hey you’re close!

xd he just doesnt like using the pick, it is just great how he is able to do anything with only his fingers. i thought we should use a pick cause fingers were not as precise

Isn't that the beginning of the dragonball z theme?

I can’t wait to dive into this!

Very cool ❤ But why you play music in super market?

Who is that guy?

It's probably safer to say that it's the attack that is better articulated with the fingers, but not impossible. Also, players that use a pick wouldn't be as likely to come up with those types of ideas because they're not as comfortable with a pick, like 3 nps ideas. Still, that doesnt mean they're impossible, just like the creator of the video demonstrates.

He can do it twice faster and cleaner on a classical guitar without any effort. I don’t understand why people try to emulate him so much… he’s on another level do your own thing. He has just something more which is not achievable with mere practice.

double the pace and you proved them wrong

But eddis booouncy

Wouldn't it sound better if you hybrid picked these lines? Yes I know, you're just trying to prove that it can be done with JUST a pick. But I think if you were to replicate it like he does, a hybrid picking technique could achieve the same level of clarity and syncopation. Just because it is possible doesn't mean it's the best option; you look like you're having a hard time keeping the time whereas Matteo looks beyond comfortable in his demonstration. It's hard to say that this is a good job because personally, if I spent enough time trying to prove Matteo wrong, I could do the same lick with just a pick, rushing it, and making it sound not like music but just noise, just to say it can be done. Perhaps if you spend even longer, trying to master this one lick, you could clean it up, slowing the tempo, etc. But I feel like Matteo's picking technique is still superior since there's almost no fuss and just pure rhythm and a solid conveyance of musicality with his technique. I also think Matteo wasn't trying to be literal because if he wanted to, I'm sure he could just add multiple string picks (polyphonic phrases) in and around his arpeggio making it literally impossible (without the use of hybrid picking).

Its sound Bouncy and not smooth, u can play with a pick but u wont have the same smoothness and feel.

You didn't get to the speed he got to. You cut it before the last part that he meant. He plays it ultra fast.

wow you are as good as matteo. there. isnt this what you wanted?

Ok...ahora de manera limpia y perfecta con el tempo y sin distorsión ( mucha suerte)

Why are you reading other people’s Bb transcriptions tho

You’ve dispelled my doubts. Kudos dude, this is awesome.

This is super impressive. But Matteo is playing it slowly here. The pick max speed is Matteo’s slowed-down-so-you-can-hear-it speed.

Nice, but it is bouncy

You’re killin! Glad I found your channel!

That's absolutely incredible that you can play that with a pick haha. But I think it would be impossible to match the speed and smoothness that is possible with fingerstyle playing. You played that about as well as is humanly possible with a pick but it sounds very forced and unnatural. Matteo sounds effortless and calm and faster.

You disproved your thesis real quick at the end there. Cut that out!

Clearly not impossible, but you gotta admit it's not exactly a novice level line

The difference is that you (or anyone else) are not Matteo Mancuso. It’s like a Ferrari, there are many other beautiful sports cars in the world, but Ferrari is Ferrari.

Finally I'm playing music to myself.. This lesson made it happen, thanks millions Jared

Without a pick, my friend. Without a pick

NO

handpicking has its advantages indeed.

The line played with the pick is the same notes, but sounds not remotely as smooth. It doesn't contradict Beato, although I do think Roy Marchbank might be able to get it closer, because he's the smoothest speed picker on Earth. But for a normal person to match Mancuso's smooth speed, I'll just say I'm not holding my breath.

Wonderful. This is a great explanation and I didn't know he used Slonimsky Thesaurus. I love these types of movements in music by thirds, there's so much you can do with a freakin' third I mean who knew? When I was looking at the chord changes and it first hit me that all the different chords when seperated by their qualities are all a major third apart I seriously had my mind blown. Isn't it crazy how music theory is such a sound puzzle in so many ways? Everything just fits, that's why I love music. Then of course beyond the theory, music sounds great!

Well, you are right in this case. But in general you can do more when playing with fingers than with a pick. Which makes sense, because you actually have 5 picks when playing with fingers.

Nice

These are some of the dumbest people on the planet I swear. Distortion actually makes playing clean harder in some cases and rarely makes anything easier and compression is not cheating. These people need another lobotomy because the first one was obviously half assed

Sounds like gradius music
