[@alexpiva9672]

He absolutely amazing and phenomenally talented but there's no such thing as "the greatest" or "the best" in music or any other form of art and communication. It's not a competition. That said, I wish Matteo all "the best" for his career and life.

[@cdeangelo1]

I'm 64 yrs old. Been playing pro for over 35 years. Listened to alot guitarist in my time. Learned alot from Terry Cath (Chicago), Hendrix, Frampton, Prince. Never got into to the big names that really aren't anything special ... the Claptons, & Pages of the world. I love Valen, Via, even Guthrie. But in my honest musical opinion, I honestly believe Matteo Mancuso is several level ahead of EVERYONE! Plays so clean and his approach is amazing! The incredible think is he plays jazz better than most if not all jazz players, the same for fusiion, rock, classical, country, blues.. I though Tommy Emanuel was the closest to the mist complete player, but Matteo is even better. And he's only 24!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@scottwaszak698]

Agree.

[@moroboshidan7960]

Different epochs. Just saying.

[@russellkane9439]

Agree with you

[@wesboundmusic]

I completely concur, @Chuck DeAngelo , been playing for going on 50 years, professionally in my twens, admired and studied most of the big names of my "formative years" and now at 58 with even more open ears and heart than what I was able to appreciate back then. Mattheo raises the bar to unprecedented levels for the guitar and musical talent in general. And a similar, less guitar-centric thing could be said about Jacob Collier. And then not to forget Ms. Lari Basilio, who also has this "compound" style of picking and occasionally using a pick. But Mattheo really is in his own category that we didn't even know existed prior to him showing up on the scene....

[@wesboundmusic]

Absolutely amazing and also phantastic instruments presented! Mattheo created a whole new ""category" of talent and unimpeded musicality (as in: transcending any kind of preexisting music-academic dogma or "teaching" and really drawing on all of so far known music history and styles...). Absolutely second to none other before!

[@fenderbender8556]

His right hand technique is the best I've ever seen. By dropping the pick, and developing the four fingers for "true" hybrid picking, it frees the thumb up for muting unused strings. Derek Trucks uses his thumb the exact same way! SUPER efficient!

[@davidamooreii1805]

If you drop the pick, then it isn't hybrid picking. By definition, "hybrid picking" is a combination of pick & fingers together. By dropping the pick, it "truly" isn't hybrid picking.

[@sixmillionsilencedaccounts3517]

He seriously made me rethink fingerstyle on electric. I always thought it can't work well but how wrong I was.

[@strawman3059]

​@@davidamooreii1805 you know what he means 🤔

[@fenderbender8556]

@@sixmillionsilencedaccounts3517 If I was 20, I would totally re invent my right hand style in this guy's method.....At 65, I'll just have to be a happy hybrid picker!

John McLaughlin would be certainly happy about his legacy:-) Pure Italian talent along with one of the most interesting evolutions for a guitar ...a guitar with bass included. Simply genious and offering a lot of inspiration. Well done guys.

[@Ser.jo953]

Grande Matteo, sei la nostra Bandiera.

[@cletusbeauregard1972]

watch the way he uses his right hand thumb to mute strings. that should be the big takeaway if one is looking for technical inspiration. muting is the secret sauce to playing.

[@Joesfosterdogs]

All by himself...he owned NAMM...25yo that plays w t maturity of a 60yo...his dad is a great player...from the womb this kid was destined...hard work yes, but a gift we havent seen in a long time...and brilliant mind...he sweeps over many styles like he owns them all...metal to be bop to country to flamingo to...this is what stuns...he has mastered so many styles so young...

Matteo Mancuso is a music graduate or had enrolled with a private guitar teacher. He's really gifted though. ******************** Somewhere out there is Ed Sheeran saying to himself, "all I need is a looper pedal and strum 4 chords to have billion YT views; I don't need to play like Matteo to earn a million."😅😅😅

[@BrentIraEnman]

There was Hendrix who changed the game, then EVH then Yngwie then guys like vai Satch Govan now this cat who has changed the game big time imo

[@asnark7115]

Vai, Yngwie, Govan and Satch changed nothing, just added to existing guitar pardigms and sounds others like Hendrix and EVH built. Mastering a few techniques, scales and rhythm patterns like this guy has is entry level for most musical instrument majors, virtually none of whom will ever be recorded on KZbin.

[@BrentIraEnman]

@@asnark7115 right find me another entry level player that can play like this guy can. Yngwie didn't change the game? He was instrumental in shaping the neo classical shred style.

When I saw Mateo Mancuso’s video, “Blues Shuffle in G,” a few years ago, I became an instant fan. The guy’s a guitar genius. His father is awesome too. Watch Mateo and his father play “Isn’t She Lovely,” by Stevie Wonder, on KZbin. It’s incredible.🎸🔥👍

Regarding the “best” guitarists, it’s odd nobody mentions Stanley Jordan. Just listen to him play Stairway to Heaven on two guitars. Even Chet was in awe of Stanley Jordan.

[@GuyDanielsMusicEtc]

MM is absolutely the world's most technically gifted electric guitar player right now imo. Saying 'world's greatest' leaves waay too much room for debate. But many would agree MM has rewritten the rules for top elec guitar chops - ironically - using well-established techniques from non-electric guitar (flamenco guitar and electric bass, specifically).

Jimi Hendrix over Van Halen = Steve Vai over Mancuso..... 4 great innovators... 4 people who planted a milestone

[@asnark7115]

What exactly diid Vai and Mancuso "innovate"?

[@pobinr]

I just happened to listen to I Claire de lune. Real music is about composition & ideas not technical finger work. Too much fusion rock etc is about playing, not composition. It's not moving. It's just oh wow factor music. This guy is an incredible player. But holdsworth was an incredible composer exploring uncharted areas of harmony

[@howardcox2918]

The right hand technique is amazing but hes no Shawn Lane

[@dagoat1]

Awesome playing but the guitar company should make sure that the performance is correctly recorded, cause frankly the sound is terrible. Too bad.

[@Maxx61]

Click bait headline aside, a prodigious talent but it would be nice to see him in the context of music that appeals to non guitar players as well. It's why Schon continues to be so criminally underrated when talk of the greats occur. Who among us cannot hum his solos? I love technical guitar playing and listen to Holdsworth, Howe, Garsed, Frank, Lane, Guthrie, etc almost daily but that's not the kind of music I want to listen to when I'm in the mood for remembering the good times. Nonetheless, Matteo fits comfortably in his genre and the young fella can certainly handle his business. His future is incredibly bright and it will be interesting following his guitar playing choices. 👍

[@artjenkins2636]

Great playing but you could ask 10 people who the GOAT is and you'll get 10 different answers Lets see what he does in the next few years before we place the crown on him

No disrespect to Matteo. Someone said worlds greatest. Don't get me wrong he's phenomenal. World's best are some big shoes to fill. But have you heard of Jocsho Stephan, Tommy Emmanuel, Joe Bonnamassa, Guthrie, Eddie Van Halen and too many more to name.

[@michaelnotes8707]

In my humble opinion as Guitarist, a fingerstylist with so much dexterity, technical proficiency and understanding of the instrument, I'd like to tell you that Matteo is better than all those big names put together. And because you might not agree doesn't mean that it is not true! I have been studying all those big names for over a decade.

[@katiemanning3761]

Joe Bonnamassa gave Matteo a shout out. So did Steve Vai. So did Al Di Meola. He has already played with Al, and it was wonderful. They did a fist bump at the end! Love it!!

I modified an Ibanez Roadstar guitar to have two outputs, with one pickup only sensing three strings, and detuned to B (with thick strings). It had a standard scale length, but worked very well in a duo with another guitarist.

Glorius! Grande Matteo. Circolava un video dove, ormai diversi anni fa, Matteo suonava un pezzo di Gilbert: Fuzz Universe. Spero in un duo col mio chitarrista preferito (per le emozioni che suscitano le sue composizioni): Buckethead. Gilbert, Buckethead, Mancuso assieme? Un sogno!

[@DavideBaroni]

A me piacerebbe vederlo/sentirlo suonare con Guthrie Govan 😁

[@m.t.5571]

@@DavideBaroni Trovo che un duo con Guthrie sia anche più probabile. Se non ricordo male una volta Matteo disse di sé che tipo che dopo una pagina di metal (adolescenziale?) si fosse rivolto di più al jazz. Ma io preferisco il progressive e un certo hard rock al jazz o alla fusion 😇.

[@DavideBaroni]

@@m.t.5571 Guarda... Io ascolto QUASI la qualunque. Il metal è una cosa che frequento pochissimo, praticamente posso dire che il TIPO di suono e di "energia" della maggior parte di metal che ho incontrato sulla mia strada arriva a infastidirmi (e nemmeno poco, a volte). Così come non ascolto techno e cose da discoteca di quel tipo, per lo stesso motivo. Avrei da dire delle cose anche da un punto di vista professionale, al riguardo, ma mi astengo, che è meglio 😉. Ma per il resto ascolto quasi qualsiasi cosa. E faccio fatica a suddividere le cose in "generi"... Come diceva qualcuno che non ricordo, per me ci sono solo due generi, la buona musica e la cattiva musica 😅, più o meno. Ascolto molto etnico, molta roba a cappella, ho un archivio di quasi 4.000 album che coprono almeno sei decenni, più la classica e la tribale primitiva 😅, e ho imparato a non discutere le preferenze musicali della gente (anche se a volte lo faccio ancora, ma solo per bastardaggine congenita 😁). Sono abituato a non chiedermi SE una certa cosa (non solo nella musica) "mi piace", ma "COSA mi piace di quella cosa", e qualcosa che mi piace lo trovo quasi sempre. 🙂 Questo ragazzo (non dimentichiamo che ha 24 o 25 anni) ha parecchie cose che mi piacciono. 🙂

[@m.t.5571]

@@DavideBaroni I gusti sono soggettivi e talvolta mutevoli. Stando a quel che dici, tu hai un "palato" raffinato dal molto ascolto. Resta la logica pacifica del: a ognuno il suo.🙂. Per dire Gilbert mi pare si sia posizionato poi più sul blues. Io credo che Matteo orbiterà non troppo vicino all'hard rock, ma pace e gli riconosco il talento.

[@DavideBaroni]

@@m.t.5571 Ma infatti. I gusti soggettivi non sono in discussione, ognuno ha i suoi. 🙂 E sono sicuramente mutevoli... Qualche anno fa mi è capitato di rivedere "La Montagna Sacra" di Jodorowski, che da ragazzo mi era strapiaciuto. Ho riconosciuto i CONCETTI che mi erano piaciuti... Ma mi sono anche chiesto come avevo fatto a "sopportare" un film del genere, che oggi mi sembra una palla mortale 😅😂. Stessa cosa vale forse per la musica. 🙂 Cose che ci piacevano moltissimo 40 anni fa non ci fanno più lo stesso effetto oggi. Ci ricordiamo e riconosciamo quello che ci trovavamo allora, ma NOI siamo cambiati. 🙂 E con noi i nostri "gusti". 🙂 D'altra parte, Muhammad Ali (e non solo lui) diceva giustamente che "Se a 40 anni vedi ancora il mondo come lo vedevi a 20, hai sprecato 20 anni della tua vita", e condivido completamente questa posizione 🙂.
