OMG, the bass tonal and rhythmic palette is superb. Jonas the maestro. An ideal match for Matteo's brilliance.

[@peterscott6818]

Why do we have to compare this guy with others? Let’s just enjoy his marvellous playing. He’s obviously enjoying it!

[@JohnMalenchek]

Two giants but Matteo is off the charts. The future of the guitar. Unequalled technique and musicality. Bravo!

[@sexylover780]

When I first heard Matteo I was simply stunned at how great of a guitarist he was. His style of guitar encompasses so many styles and yet it is so unlike anything we have heard or seen before. Someone like Matteo who has such skills and knowledge and breathtaking technique only comes along maybe once in a lifetime. I'm 70 and have spent nearly my whole life in music playing guitar and being able to see and listen to so many other wonderful musicians and never have I been so taken with the incredible ability on so many levels that this young man has. He is truly one of a kind and I hope he a has a long and happy life and career.

[@TheVinciol]

Completely agree! ;) btw, try to listen to another Italian guitarist by the name of Pasquale Grasso

Yes I was born in 1953 and I agree with everything you said, somehow he's managed to absorb all styles and techniques and make them his own

[@LisaWadler-bb2nq]

@@user-us2xt4sg8k I was born in 1952 and I agree. But lately I have been listening to other guitarists who deserve mention also. Josh Meader, Ben Eunson and Max Ostro mostly. Others exist as well. What a glorious time to live if you love fusion guitar playing.

[@TheVinciol]

I am fortunate to be alive today to witness Matteo Mancuso's playing. He is a truly unique and gifted musician.

[@gitarmats]

The fluidity and freedom in Matteo's improv is just mindblowing.

[@poppealvento3188]

Absolutily true. Real talent. A lot of study but also He feel the change..

[@ScaleScarborough-jq8zx]

Well, he _was_ classically trained.

[@TheDiamondSkye]

classical players have the hardest time to understand improv because they aren't taught how to improvise at all. That's something you have to do on your own or through a separate teacher. You could argue experience, but dude is only 26, what experience would he have because a lot of self-study or teacher(s)? @@ScaleScarborough-jq8zx

[@roydio]

As an "old" guitarist at 75, I am totally blown away at Matteo Mancuso genius level of guitar playing, by far the best now and I have heard many of the greatest live, Frank Gambale, Al DiMeola, Larry Carlton, John McLaughlin, Eric Johnson, Guthrie Govan and many more...

[@landocal001]

Definitely here those and Alan Holdsworth influence . The right hand though, that is MATTEO

[@mikhailasanovic]

I agree, it's baffling

[@JinkProject]

i can't bring myself to lie to myself and say that he's better than Guthrie Govan. No one is better that Guthrie but he is a closest to Guthrie i've ever heard

[@mikhailasanovic]

@@JinkProject yeah but Guthrie is double his age. I'd be interested to hear Guthrie when he was Mateo's age, and God knows how much of a face melter Matteo will be in 30 years time

[@a.s.2426]

You can hear Guthrie play at this same age. That’s the age when he wrote a lot of the material from "Erotic Cakes" (early 1990s) and it was released at that time. Guthrie was better compositionally at that age than Mancuso, though Mancuso is technically better. The Guthrie from that age was sloppier and more of a hard rock player. What they seem to have in common is that neither is great compositionally.

[@DaniloMarrone]

It’s awesome that Jonas Hellborg plays with great guitarists like John McLaughlin, Shawn Lane (RIP), and, now, Mr. Mancuso. Amazing performance.

[@shaney8275]

My thoughts were on the same track. Hellborg has a pretty good resume'. The improvisation that he did with Lane and Sipe, though is something unique. Mancuso is obviously a generational artist. One might wonder what might happen if he could hang out with Hellborg for awhile - that could be interesting.

[@pierpaolosciola2697]

Maybe also with Allan Holdsworth in "Hard hat area"? To me his (Jonas) best solo, together with Allan's one (arriving from the Space). A masterpiece. By both. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXrSkpucgr-FkKc

[@waynejansen1221]

I’m guessing you never saw Eddie Van Halen perform live or on video. He was fairly impressive. Maybe you need to be a young buck when one of the “once every decade” wizards I’ve been fortunate to experience. Come on …McLaughlin? Where is he in your continuum. Let me ask all of you. Who is Ted Greene? Have you ever watched him improvise for 45 minutes and have it never cease to surprise and make you mumble things you’ve never knew you had to express before. Ted Greene author of “CHORD CHEMISTRY “. A must have study guide for harmony studies.

[@gillian67ec]

Ho appena finito di sentire un disco di Howard Roberts vado su youtube e trovo questo. Wow! Splendida mezz'ora di jazz. Non capisco quelli (pochi invero) che sentono solo il virtuosismo di Mancuso. Il suo soloing è molto musicale. Suona con gusto. E questo oggi (viviamo in un'era intossicata dal virtuosismo fine a se stesso) è assai raro. La tecnica stellare di Mancuso è qui al servizio della musica. Come deve essere.

[@pieromarenghi2575]

compliemti hai trovato la giusta osservazione sul virtuosismo per fare spettacolo. L'abilità deve sempre essere sempre al servizio della musica. Chi ascolta non è un chitarrista ma una persona che vuole ascoltare musica e Mancuso usa la sua straordinaria abilità e sensibilità musicale per offrire vera musica all'ascolto

[@bentiky]

Molto vero, Matteo cerca sempre una cantabilitá nei suoi "solo" e si capisce meglio ascoltandolo ad occhi chiusi perché guardandolo rimani stupito dal modo tutto personale di suonare. Un Grande!!!

[@ericnicolleau4331]

[@SaraiintheSky]

Mancuso is a generation leader. You don't get too many guitarists like him. He's already legendary in my book. His playing is unlike anything we've seen before.

[@forester057]

I stick with if music can’t be hummed it’s just for music majors. Music should be enjoyable for everyone. Sure music majors can make music for each other and wank away 1000 notes per second together. Niche music is great. Skill doesn’t equal listenability. This is a good example of that. If a guitar player is bored imagine what the Lindas in the crowd are thinking. Poor Lindas 😂

[@Fantasized1]

​​@@szilardsarkany6236 Not really, I mean Matteo is a fantastic player. But why not leave the chops behind for a minute and try to play some melody lines in a solo once for a while?

[@chris33513]

I totally agree. He is a generation leader (to us now) or will become one later. I just want to add that Guthrie Govan, if put in addition to Matteo next to Hellborg, would play as skilled but probably would insert some more unexpected licks, chords, melody lines. But Guthrie has had a couple of more years of playing and experimenting. Matteo will be able to do this with time and experience. His right hand finger picking technique is sure to make it in to the future of guitar playing techniques that has been dominated by the pick or hybrid picking techniques over the past decades

[@Braddds]

Man what a collaboration! I'm a massive fan Shawn Lane and to see his longtime friend and colleague Jonas Hellborg playing with another one of my favorite guitarists Matteo Mancuso is absolutely insane!

[@georgesia9347]

[@giovannipannuto3559]

Ho visto un concerto nel lontano 1985 (anno in cui Matteo Mancuso non era ancora nato) al teatro tenda di Napoli di questo grande bassista con il grande John Mclaughlin, un 'esperienza indimenticabile: due mostri. Non pensavo che dopo tutti questi anni, rivedessi suonare Jonas Hellborg con il nostro grande Matteo Mancuso. Matteo in questo video dimostra una piena maturità per suonare alla pari con i più grandi. Davvero un orgoglio nazionale.

[@frankierodriguez8661]

For sure if I was italian I'd be very proud. hell I'm proud of him just because I'm a veteran player but seriously Matteo will be like the Italian Paco de Lucia. Just unbelievable. VIVA MATTEO Y EL CAFE LAVAZZA!!! 🙂

[@DanielVerberne]

2:51- I've recently been enjoying improvising over Cantaloupe Island myself and loving the change to Db7 in particular (I play Db Lydian dominant over it, mostly). Here I am being very proud of myself and then I hear Matteo just knock it out of the park on so many levels. Incredible musician.
