I have never seen a style like this, almost guitar and bass playing at the same time no pick, this guy is amazing.

Premesso che a me piace tantissimo ma non può essere considerato tale per il semplice fatto che non ha pubblicato nulla di originale per il momento (a parte qualche sporadico pezzo). Quando e se si deciderà a rilasciare un disco se ne potrà parlare.

[@pedrorossi7406]

​​@@Aniblasfemus dal punto di vista artistico si, ma a livello puramente tecnico se uno é bravo, é bravo, é anche vero che tantissimi chitarristi tecnicamente molto bravi, non lo sono altrettanto a livello compositivo, cioé per essere Ritchie Blackmore, Jimmy Page o George Benson, servono tante cose tutte assieme.

[@davidlima8194]

All I can say is WOW, what a performance! Matteo has to be one of the best (Top 5) guitarists of all time, PERIOD! His technical ability and effortless lightning speed yet smooth playing ability with ease is absolutely off the charts! He's as good or better than the likes of Jimmy Page, Richie Blackmore, Jeff Beck and Joe Bonnomassa just to name a few. This guy just came out of nowhere, what a talent indeed!

[@jittboy1]

Technically better but those guys changed music this kid is far from that. You have to write a hit song like stairway to heaven that appeals to millions of people and gets played 30-50 years later. I hear this all the time. Guthrie? On radio no appeals to guitarist, there are many of those that are talented. But writing and being technical Are two different things. Show me one technique he does this kid that has not been done ever? Tapping arpeggios? Legato runs ? Nothing I hear innovative but non the less he has incredible technique, but better than legends? Lol not even close !

[@cloud-forge]

@@jittboy1 he's starting to write some pretty good stuff. He is playing live quite often. I am fairly sure, he is already leaving a trace is the musical world. The fact that we are debating whether it's true or not, coud be use as a proof this very thing probably happened to the before mentioned figures when they were about starting their careers and the people where comparing them to the old guard of then.

[@jittboy1]

@@cloud-forge like I said before you call him better than legends you have to wait and see where his journey takes him. Playing jazz and fusion is great but like I said influence changes and so do priorities which will factor in the road he decides to go. One must understand calling him better than the people that developed the technique he uses is actually hate to say it but idiotic. Can he perform the techno better maybe but they are copied and nothing done new . Everything he does has been done before . I just think the hype crap on KZbin is ridiculous. I remember when new golfers came out in last 20-30 years they would say the next Tiger . Never panned out lol. All we can do is wait and see . I enjoy his playing as it sounds good but would I say is better than legends absolutely not. Lol that’s all his writing is good , she need some more experience but that’s what we do learn. Same with gear tonex revolutionary bs or Nuno the next Eddie bs lol

[@antticollan3620]

​@@jittboy1definitely far greater instrumentalist than any of the old legends already. Not only because of virtuosity, but the genius improvising skills combined with completely new approaches/possibilities.

I have never seen anybody sweep pick (sweep pluck I should say) and tap a baritone electric guitar before. And I also have never seen a guitar player play the guitar in the way Matteo Mancuso does it. He has such an unusual way of playing it, even for a finger style guitarist. He’s got a picado technique going on in his right hand, and it’s fast but articulate.

[@FlaschDJ]

@@bacciguitars Thank you for being constructive- for not being an idiot. I appreciate Tommy Emmanuel’s technique - wow, wow, wow! But I need to SEE it - like on a KZbin video - look at his hands - he must have practiced years and years and years. Glorious. But if I was up late at night and had no screens or stages nearby, I might prefer Patsy Cline. And I saw Tommy in concert and was also not impressed. I marveled at his skill but it doesn’t get to my heart the way Aretha or Larry Carlton with Steely Dan. Virtuosity is glorious but it’s different from musicality. Chet Atkins has both. Mark Knopfler does. Miles Davis does. But seeing Matteo in concert might change my mind. I listened to his Rick Beato interview. Nice young man - articlulate, humble, bright - with a great command of the English language.

[@consulentecomunicazionestr3072]

@@FlaschDJ I saw him play live. I assure you that is an incredible experience. And MM's musicality is stunning. Not only technique. Heart and soul. And a daily hard work to reach his level.

[@FlaschDJ]

@@consulentecomunicazionestr3072 I always say: Beauty is labor presented. Consider this contrast: 1. You’re sitting in the 2nd row of a Matteo concert. He’s tapping and soloing at blinding speed with his stunning right hand ….vs…. 2. You wake up in the middle of the night and HEAR (minus applause) what you watched in #1. I’ve listened to Pat Martino (#2) - very good music. I attended (#1) an intimate Pat Martino concert. Unbelievable but for different reasons. I wonder how I’d react to #2 with Matteo. (Stumbling upon a recording, alone, in bed, late at night). I’m not sure. If I’m impressed,that’s musicality. Finally - somebody once said “Steely Dan makes it perfect - THEN they make it MUSIC.
