Hmmm, sorry about the slight sync issue - still trying to dial in the OBS settings. AWWWRIGHT!!

[@timgrady4630]

Thanks for this . Top Shelf . Undeniable brilliance and Compositional feel intersect . Love his "Samba Party" & the cover of Weather Report's "Havona" also . Blessings to you and your dear ones .

[@shackfighter]

Saw him live in Sacramento 10 days ago. He's the real deal. New solos during his compositions. An amazing Jeff Beck cover. Lots of musicians and guitar players in the crowd and everybody was going from shaking their heads in disbelief to laughing out loud to yelling with enthusiasm. After the show he stood outside and met everyone, signing albums. Can't wait to see what he brings in the future. Very exciting.

[@mephisto_333]

The play on rhythm at 6:38 is so fun. Epic, and fun. ❤

[@vincenzoimpellizzeri1745]

Mostro mondiale!!! Non me ne vogliano i grandi della chitarra, ma lui nel suo genere è indiscutibilmente il numero uno al mondo, poiché con tutta sincerità non mi è mai capitato di vedere, e sentire uno come Matteo. Inoltre c'è da sottolineare che lui è unico nel suo genere al modo perché suonare la chitarra elettrica senza plettro ❤️🎹

[@riccardonosvelli1724]

assolutamente tutto vero...però altri hanno prima di lui hanno suonato la chitarra senza plettro, diciamo piuttosto che ha raggiunto livelli tecnici difficilmente raggiungibili. Per restare in territorio nazionale c'è Andrea Braido...mentre tra le nuove leve in campo internazionale c'è Tim Henson (anche se spesso ricorre ad una tecnica ibrida: plettro misto arpeggio con dita )

[@vincenzoimpellizzeri1745]

@@riccardonosvelli1724 certamente. Quello che intendevo dire che Matteo a parte la sua giovane età sa essere eccezionale in tutto quello che fa senza alcuna sbavatura. In lui non c'è solo estro e velocità, ma una eccellente pulizia di suono e dinamica, con grandissima espressione in tutti i vari generi, e lo fa con grande gusto .

[@lamantedeipiedinifemminili2846]

Mondiale?qui parliamo di un altra dimensione spazio temporale.

[@dodgrblu]

I somehow haven't listened to much Eric Johnson, but I love his song Manhattan.

[@ATX0705]

He's not just a great guitar player, he's a great composer and songwriter as well. Also an amazing piano player.

[@spikegifted]

What a shredder! Awesome!

[@ManfredElsingBielefeld]

Amen!

[@xodiaq]

I need Matteo in a band with Charles Berthoud and Greyson Nekrutman, STAT.

[@FeliceDeFalco]

Mateo is simply mind-blowing. His phrasing is so unique and literally faultless. It's as visceral as it gets. Absolutely unique and genuinely virtous

[@Duh6666666]

I often find these instrumentals repetitive but here it is just the opposite, it is so fresh, delicately heavy, and well-written, I love it! They all nailed it.

[@NotRKelly.]

Thank you Geebz

[@GutterBallet]

Great tune. A lot of it reminds me a bit of Steve Stevens solo projects.

[@Yochanangp]

I can hear each note he plays. No strings at all.

[@apebitmusic83]

So sick

[@Earthgazer]

very Nick Johnston

[@belladonna_scarlet]

Wow, I really felt that. Fantastic. Loved watching and listening to you, Geebz, like usual.

[@rogerplourde1151]

comparison with guntrie ,,is amazing in itself ,,i like you

[@auralfixxation6702]

Have you ever done a song by Kaki King or Yvette Young? Two amazing women guitarists.

[@perhvarnes]

I'm pretty sure he has done something by Yvette or her band Covet.

[@seanmiller7889]

🔥

[@pmacfto]

Standing on the shoulders of quite a few giants but still making it his own - I thought the quiet section was like Vai's older stuff chordally and the bit with the bass solo section was very Steven Wilson (Guthrie/Marco - HCE era). It's bugging me which Larry Carlton track it sounds like too - it's more the swing and phrasing than the actual notes! It's really not what I would have expected him to do - he's very jazzy, fusiony and this really melodic and a bit more straight - but great! He has a bit of a unique tone too due to not using a pick - and he's been doing that since I first saw him about 8 or so years ago doing DT and Paul Gilbert covers :p

[@martymcpeak4748]

Matteo and that whole band and so good it"s disgusting. if players like Matteo and Max Ostro are the future of guitar, it's in good hands... Cheers

[@coolnout3765]

If Matteo is the future of music, it is dead on arrival. He will never get radio play when he performs his math music.

[@apebitmusic83]

@@coolnout3765haha yeah, cuz we need more shitty radio songs. What you are saying makes no sense.

[@aprilkurtz1589]

Endless noodling on guitar is kind of boring. Not my thing, but these guys are very good.

[@coolnout3765]

Garbage music. Nothing musical about it. Lots of notes with little to offer beyond the fascination of his technique. When he starts writing music that hits an audience beyond guitarists, but he NEVER will.

[@apebitmusic83]

Why are you hanging out talking crap about this insanely talented artist with your bad takes?

[@GreenHoleSun]

Pretty big statements here. Many great guitarists AND non guitarists have already shown their appreciation for Matteo Mancuso and his band...I wonder what kind of masterpieces you appreciate to disrespect so deeply Matteo, or maybe he is the one who stealed your girlfriend?

[@shackfighter]

Check out his other compositions if you didn't like this one. I think his phrasing and slow lyrical playing are just as strong as his fast playing. And his fast playing is not just "stock licks"...he's doing some accomplished, complex improvising that demonstrates he's been listening to the strongest jazz players out there, playing a variety of instruments, as well as all the best rock guys. The coolest thing is he seamlessly moves between styles, often in the same tune. There is no shortage of fake internet guitar sensations who play BS at lightning speeds, but this guy is NOT one of them. If you write him off, I think you're missing out.

[@lamantedeipiedinifemminili2846]

ok 5/8 7/8 12//8 OH MY GOD

[@bombosh68]

This guy sticks out like a massive monument in a desert. That bassist is absolutely phenominal and where he positions his tone in the spectrum is perfect for the lack of a better word. Will buy their music.

[@curtjohansen5742]

The lick at 6.52 melted my face and set my hair on fire.

[@mephisto_333]

YES!!

[@Io-Io-Io]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@JaySay]

Damn, that was incredibly smooth, and reaaaaaaally well written (and performed!) Loved the bass, especially at the end there, and the beginning to the solo after that turn couldn't have been better. Awesome stuff, Geebz, I have a couple of people that would love to hear this! Thanks for sharing it with us. Appreciate all you do; i'm still here, and keep on rocking!🤙🤘

[@nurwer]

Absolute talent from Sicily!

[@integraleric]

That was sweet. Great modern fusion with a rock edge. Well written. Thanks for sharing.

[@adriansmith6993]

So many great musicians out there. I will certainly check out Matteo Mancuso. Enjoyed very much!

[@carolynm.7530]

Gorgeous sounding and with power. Loved this ❤

[@Io-Io-Io]

No silly lyrics needed

[@pncampbell]

Hes kind of like the love child of Larry Carlton and Joe Satriani

[@therealnynetynyne360]

Joe satriani feel in the first verse

[@skpince]

Holy s..t!😮

[@michaelschwarz2524]

Listen to Unprocessed Trash with a Vers Specials solo on one note

[@tauronval1404]

Amazing Guitarist!👌🏻

[@raymondharrisoncomposer]

You are a great composer GeeBz!!

[@ECrapton]

Mancuso is off-the-scale, just amazing. But do you know EVGENY POBOZHIY? Check it out.

[@perhvarnes]

Yes, I get the Larry Carlton comparison. However, I think Mancuso shines clearer when he tilts into the jazz sphere.

[@stratovanzo]

The "metal" riff reminds me of "still burning" from the greatest hard rock band of all time Blue Oyster Cult

[@lewpearson9800]

He has a little Al Dimeola in there...

[@KeyOfGeebz]

for sure!

[@shackfighter]

And Allan Holdsworth. And Eric Johnson. And Steve Morse. And Larry Carlton. And Eddie Van Halen. But he's got his own voice that he draws from them all. So cool to hear.

[@Io-Io-Io]

Have a sick weekend ? no thank you, I'll have a healthy one

[@Eric998765]

Is this the guy that was originally a bassist but has been doing guitar recently? I read about someone like that in a Steve Vai interview but I don't remember for sure who it was. I love songs like this, but only in doses. Highly technical instrumental music fries may brain after about 15min and I kind of get ADD. I need some vocals to attach to

[@Abm-nk9ub]

Geeebs hope you read this- can you do a video on The Reflecting God from antichrist superstar? Hits so hard, just relentless. I run to it multiple times a week, always at the end of a run- makes me push. So so good.

[@matteogiberti3297]

We share the name and the country. NOT the skills on guitar... hehe.

[@dodgrblu]

It's like if Plini took a more traditional rock approach, interesting listen. didn't quite win me over, but ill be keeping an ear out for his other work.

[@mephisto_333]

Clean. SOOOO clean. Wowowow

[@Prom591]

Not my sound, but man you gotta respect it

[@danielb4848]

Yo

[@thejabberwocky1488]

Whoa……you dropped a GG proto-pseudo comparison Geebz……I know you know the gravity of such….. Edit: also, does “Twice Baked” mean you smoked 2 joints, a lá Sublime? Edit2: AWWWWWWWWWWWWRIIIIIIIIGGGGHHHHTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!

[@andrubis468]

Seriously did I miss something

[@giancarlopaolini7529]

Great stuff indeed. Not a single player below the others ....this is the greatest rocksound disguised as a fusion jam I've heard since Spectrum in 1973 ....with guys like John McLaughlin, Billy Cobham and other excellent musicians. Well done guys or better ..."ben fatto ragazzi !". Cheers from Italy.....the land where music has found its realm and terminology.

[@coolnout3765]

Excellent musicians don't equate to excellent music. That takes talent beyond technique.

[@robertospatola777]

Amazing ❤
