Matteo Mancuso Donna Lee Transcription

[@zooesque]

Not used to jazz guitar played in classical fingerstyle - sounds splendid.

[@oi1e319]

Yeah it’s weird not hearing the pick sound hitting the string tbh too clean of a play😂😂🔥🔥🔥

[@jamesrussell5196]

That’s not classical that’s just his thing they don’t teach that

[@zooesque]

@@jamesrussell5196 Beginning looks very much like an apoyando stroke to me. How do you think it differs from that?

[@jamesrussell5196]

@@zooesque because he said he just started playing what was comfortable

[@zooesque]

@@jamesrussell5196 Yes. Mancuso started out with classical guitar so I can assume something close to his training feels comfortable. 😊

[@msauerltci1962]

In my humble opinion not really being a musician but loving the learning process of guitar, you are probably the best all around guitar player I have seen in the last 57 years. Such timing, harmony and articulation. It would take me 2 more life times. Stay humble but you are a master! God bless you son.

[@WeepingWillowGuitarLessons]

Just for the record, that is not me playing - it's my transcription of Matteo's playing. He's an incredible talent, do check out his KZbin channel to see many more videos of him playing. kzbin.info

[@hansbendixen5430]

@@WeepingWillowGuitarLessons pretty incredible that you were able to transcribe it. Must have taken a lot of patience

[@matthewnewton2753]

Agreed, incredible talent. But has he recorded an album? Nothing showing on Amazon. The question is whether he will be able to build up a body of work or only do short YT videos.

[@BambiDextrous]

My sentiments exactly, and I just turned 70 after a lifetime of playing guitar and witnessing some of the very best. Matteo will hopefully stay grounded, because he’s untouchable at this point in time.

[@BambiDextrous]

@@matthewnewton2753 I think he’s taking his time coming out of the chute. I have a feeling that it will be worth the wait, but we’ll have to see.

[@2good2betrue3]

Guthrie Govan was the best guitarist of the decade, but I think its now time to pass the torch and pass that title to Matteo. Mancuso is such a complete player....technical ability, impeccable phrasing, taste, feel, timing. He has it all.

[@guitaristforfunn]

Only big difference here is Guthrie was is in bands and still is and writes albums and tours and is really doing the music thing. I'm not saying Matteo can't do that but he definitely isn't doing it for some reason.

[@BambiDextrous]

I agree 100%.

[@32kri]

Man, what do you mean " best guitarist of decade? In what genre? I guess you mean rock shredding don't you? There's tonnes of prodigies out there like Bireli Lagrene, Paco de Lucia, McLaughin, flamenco, jazz, classical masters.. Guthie may be good as a rock guitarist but there's simply no such a thing like " the best guitarist of decade"..

[@FrancescoParenzan]

he is doing it, you just didnt look for it @@guitaristforfunn

[@GaetanoLetiziaMusic]

There is no best there are greats but no best. Just different

[@grady9752]

Good Lord! I just stumbled on this kid browsing a Strat forum. Never even heard of him until 15 minutes ago. I'm still not sure I believe what I just heard and saw. First video was his three piece band, complete with an amazing bass player doing Weather Report "Havona" live. It's like I know right where he's going but.....he gets there! I don't think he's even breathing hard. This is truly remarkable.

[@BambiDextrous]

Very well put, my friend. He’s beyond beyond.

[@StewartGartland]

Those triplet runs are just mental man!!!! Great job transcribing, well done!!

[@danieledaroma1446]

La verità è che nessuno suona come Mancuso. Ha una tecnica originalissima e perfetta sia con la mano destra che con la sinistra. Non ho mai visto suonare nessuno così.

[@robertobob6574]

Vero, ma quando produrrà qualcosa di suo di un certo livello, allora potremo decantarne tutta la sua indiscutibile bravura.

[@consulentecomunicazionestr3072]

Nessuno che abbia mai toccato una chitarra può non restare ammirato dallo sbalorditivo talento di Matteo. Il resto è invidia o frustrazione. Io non suono più da anni ma da quando l'ho scoperto ( un paio di settimane) non riesco a stare un giorno senza guardare un suo video. Difetto di personalità? Ma se ha inventato una tecnica nuova e rivoluzionaria che costringerà a rivedere tutti i parametri di insegnamento! Ma se ha un gusto, una cultura musicale e una musicalità superiore! Fior di giganti lo presentano come un fenomeno! A 23 anni, diamogli tempo, il momento della creatività personale arriverà, vedrai che scriverà cose molto interessanti

[@danieledaroma1446]

Un altro che fa un campionato a parte è Pasquale Grasso...te lo consiglio. Diversissimo da Mancuso, ma con una tecnica e voicing impressionante...buon ascolto!

Extraterrest this guitarist ! ... incredible ! ...

[@TypingHazard]

Can someone smarter than me tell me how to think about what's happening with the riff at 0:40? Seems like he's moving from an Eb7 scale to a D7 scale and resolving to the 5 of Ab, is that how I should think about it harmonically or is it just outside for outside's sake?

[@teoman.ozdogru]

I think on eb7 he plays eb altered scale (if you dont know what it is: Scale which u can use on dominant chords to bring more "spice")

[@TypingHazard]

@@teoman.ozdogru Thanks. I know of the altered scale but I think this fooled me because it looks so much like a side-slip, and because landing on the Eb on exit didn't seem like a hold from the last bar so much as just choosing to land on a chord tone. I can see now why this can be read as an alerted lick.

[@jean-luclamy2503]

peut etre Em jazz melodic Eb7 9+ 5+

[@emaonoa]

you can think it as a E minor melodic

[@DoktorLorentzBig]

Altered scale also called superlocrian (locrian dim.4) 1, min.2, min.3, dim.4, dim.5, min.6, min.7
