Mancuso is a fine example of what someone who owns a guitar can do when they don’t waste years comparing guitarists on the internet.

[@Coynkydynk]

Honestly - thank you for writing that. I really wish ppl could stop the incessant chimping about who is better than who. It’s so mindnumbingly contraproductive. Just thank god for putting you in front of a screen where juice like this comes flowing right at you, and also thank those like Matteo who their time in and, upon that, shares with us.

[@jupiterlegrand4817]

This kid has absolutely everything. Total facility, total musicality, great taste and phrasing. I know Holdsworth is an influence, but to my ear Mancuso is much more musically consonant. Amazing.

[@ardedrum7322]

His father, Vincenzo Mancuso, was for years the guitarist (live/studio) of one of the most important Italian singer-songwriters, Francesco De Gregori. He grew up in the middle of Music and with Music (the serious Music, not the shit we're forced to listen to today) for which he was "marked" to become an excellent musician !!! :)

[@matthewcross]

Thank you for the history!

[@Itsnotbrettreddell]

Good to know I was very self conscious of my guitar after hearing him , but I am self taught and have only been playing for 4 years or so so I won’t give up

[@alexjackson8841]

@@Itsnotbrettreddell Man you get players who’ve had great training and after 20 years still can’t play that great. And you get people like andy james who was completely self taught and is now one of the biggest names in guitar. It’s all up to you. I know someone who could play the sweet child o mine solo after 2 years and i also know someone who’s only got to grade 5 after 10 years. Put your mind and effort to it and you’ll progress

Sessantunmo anni e circa 55 di musica che grazie a mio papà ho imparato ad ascoltare senza peconcetti. Continuo ad ascoltare di tutto con prevalenza jazz. Conoso da poco Matteo e ci ritrovo tanto di quello che amo: Pastorius, Corea, Saint Jermains, Rush, ... Potrei continuare a lungo perchè ogni pezzo che sto asoltando è pieno di pulsioni. Un interprete che vedo come grande potenziale di collegamento generazionale della musica. Bravo!

[@MaXaNoMaLoUs]

BRAVO!! His TONE is what made alllll of his chops more enjoyable. Being a Guthrie Govan fan, Shawn Lane, Allan Holdsworth, etc... it’s all about there tone. Dudes got a bright future ahead. Love it

Non puoi aspettarti che “arrivi” a ignoranti completi o quasi completi in materia.

[@caryverhalen]

Negative comments about this young man's playing here? Why? His command of the instrument, Technical ability and absolute Nuance playing are unparalleled. He's brilliant and oh by the way check out his right hand.

[@SurfingSerpent]

It’s interesting how he plays at two angles for his right hand, one where it’s the position for playing a pick at 45 degrees (but without a pick), and another angle where it’s more like classical guitar so he can pluck the strings directly up. The first angle enables more string muting because the thumb can rest on the bottom strings, but the second angle enables a crisper sound because he is plucking straight up instead of at a diagonal angle. Both hand positions have their use.

[@benjamindague-classicalgui764]

A lot of classical players switch from the first position of the RH to the other position for different reasons. I know when I play usually my RH is mainly in the first hand position, and then switch to the more direct angle for rest strokes and/or a brighter tone. I think he does the different angle for speed and rest strokes a lot.

[@cybercanal5319]

It’s Probably more of a classical style. He most likely has long finger nails on that hand.
