[@rainscratch]

Started when 10, his father - an accomplished guitarist - guided and influenced him in the world of classical, jazz and the greats of 1970s and 80s. He is now 27. His first interest was metal and went to musical conservatory for classical. Then Jazz, rock and everything in between and beyond. Developed his finger technique and never uses a pick. Insane talent that is other-worldly.

[@setonhillstudios]

Other-worldly is a great way of describing it! Thanks for all the info!

[@Gaga72-z9b]

Bellissima reaction. Complimenti....Matteo is Number one in the world

He is so good! This was an absolute phenomenal performance! I cannot wait to discover more from him!

[@michellemcnair4825]

Yesss..his phrasing is brilliant..as a percussionist i recognize the maturity and creativity level he is playing at with his use of space.

[@setonhillstudios]

Absolutely! Dude is a master of the craft

[@fidobite3798]

Yes, he is as fine a guitarist as I have ever heard/seen/experienced!

[@setonhillstudios]

So true! His playing style is so innovative! Absolute beast! 🔥

[@landocal001]

Seton, Mateo's father is a classical guitar player. They played together at NAMM this year. He learned the finger style and never went to a pic when he started playing electric.

I'm a MM's follower by years. Its ever difficult to say "The best in the world" and I'm not sure that this affirmation has a real sense. There are many aspects of playing guitar. The best of ? Sound, phrasing, composition, innovation, eclettism? MM is for sure one of the most interesting guitarists in the world, his innovative right hand technique and his incredible and chamaleontic ability to play EVERY GENRE in a fantastic way, make him a unicum world level. Metal, jazz, fusion, rock, country, classic, gypsy, bebop. No genre have secrets for him, he plays with every last 100 years guitar technique. Taste, musical culture, technique, passion, heart and soul. And a great person, humble and fair. A mix very very rare.

Please let us to see some other Matteo Mancuso performances and your comments! Thanks and regards!

[@setonhillstudios]

More Matteo to come on the channel for sure! Just incredible and so fun to watch! Thanks for stopping by the channel!

[@ricleonardis9314]

Seton, your channel is a very important one. Matteo has new bass and drummer. You are educating Joe public about Matteo`s capailites. Matteo is 27 years old. Practised 8 hours a day growing up. His Father is a major influence for Matteo. 3-4 fingers play cleaner and fast, faster than a pick. Dad was a classical accoustic guitar the still plays. Thank Yamaha for the places Matteo plays. It might be Italy he grew up near the ocean

[@setonhillstudios]

Glad you’re enjoying the content! Matteo is such an amazing talent!

[@solino2002andrea]

The sound and the atmosphere when he started meowing with his whammy bar, reminds me of Nadia from Jeff Beck, isn’t it? Matteo is great 👍

[@nunyabusiness5075]

He's the first guitarist of note I can recall to play Yamaha guitars, I hope they've sent him buckets of money to keep playing them.

[@pierpaolosciola2697]

Hello, love your channel. Matteo here has composed a piece of music starting from his Sicilian roots quite influenced by the domination and musical culture, and not only, Arab. But he does it using the lever, the tremolo, in the manner of Scott Henderson when he plays the blues. Matteo is a sponge, he has received a lot of musical influences, also thanks to his father. He can play in all styles. Even flamenco guitar with Al di Meola (see the video). Even the architecture of Palermo (capital city of Sicily) in the background underlines this influence. Keep working, music is a capital of human beauty that hides and reveals a lot of nuances. You just have to understand its historical origins and motivations. Was I too drastic or didactic? I apologize, but this is what I wanted to say.

[@sylviedhancarville4486]

Studies in classical and jazz, his father a pro guitarist..a good musical karma! And the town in the video is Palermo ..his town

[@setonhillstudios]

Awesome! Appreciate the info and you swinging by the channel! He is such a beast!

[@sylviedhancarville4486]

@@setonhillstudios there are many interview now about his life..and you can also do it, you can ask him, he s very genuine and humble guy. There is a video with his father playing at Jazz fest...he was 13, playing Hendrix...now 27...

[@johneshuis1215]

Good old Jan akkerman was able to do impossible licks too. Jan is pleased by Matteo Mattuso (' Jan: you don't know what you hear')

It`s perfection

[@setonhillstudios]

It really is!

[@tauronval1404]

Amazing reaction👌🏻 Check his interview with Rick Beato so interesting👍🏻…

[@setonhillstudios]

Thanks so much! Yeah, I definitely want to check that out! Rick always has on amazing artists, producers, etc. Such a great channel!

[@rainscratch]

Two Beato interviews - one solo and one with another Matteus from Brazil. Both worth catching.

[@yourrealitycheckbounced8136]

Very Jeff Beck at times 👍👍👍👍👍

[@setonhillstudios]

No doubt! 💯🔥

[@simoncove1]

So who do you prefer and who is better marcin or mancuso?!!??!

[@setonhillstudios]

I think they are just stylistically so different! Both are unreal and phenomenal players!

[@bluesygo]

I think Matteo is among the top two in the world, find the other one...

[@13uomini]

I can suggest You another fenomenal guitar players: M&M from Lovebites (Midori & Miyako): "Set the World on fire"!

[@setonhillstudios]

Thanks for the suggestion!

[@montreauxs]

Scott Henderson flavor.

[@setonhillstudios]

Didn’t even make that connection, but now that you mention it absolutely!

[@robertocrescenzi1789]

Scott is just one of dozens of influences he had absorbed through the years, as he said on several interviews!

[@monstertracks4452]

Mat~Man is the best ever

[@ricleonardis9314]

Matteo practices 8 hours a day

[@setonhillstudios]

Insane but to get to that level it’s understandable! 🔥

[@consulentecomunicazionestr3072]

Sure? I dont think. His talent is unbelieveble, and he certainly works hard. But MM's is over the most part of guitarists. Over and over. He's a superior mind, imo.

[@henrygeorge4876]

Check this out you ain't seen nothing he's a KZbinr you need to go around the world and see the many players that's way so better than him ain't no classical train mess about what I have heard from him you ain't heard nothing cuz you ain't been nowhere

[@setonhillstudios]

Haha 😂🤣 He is extremely talented! Sure there are other talented guitar players out there but that doesn’t diminish his talent.

[@SamIAm-kz4hg]

@henrygeorge4876 "Check this out you ain't seen nothing" People with the intellect to understand what he's doing and know why it is so good, also know how to speak English properly.

[@stevenmeyer9674]

Could you translate your comment into English? Thanks.

[@dariocremaschi989]

Sembra che per te la musica sia una gara, cosa significa" musicisti migliori di lui"? Ognuno di loro è bravo in quello che fa, ti faccio notare che. Mancuso è in grado di suonare molti generi musicali con estrema facilità quindi godiamoci i suoni e se nn ti piace ascolta qualcos'altro

[@AJ-Bruno]

Bro switch I with you in your comment and you are on to something. And are Steve Vai and Al di Meola totally clueless?
