Matteo Mancuso - Paul Position (Original)

Hi Guys! I'm back with another tune of mine called "Paul Position". I wrote it some days after receiving this wonderful Baritone Guitar from Bacci. I apologize in advance for the poor video quality but I recorded it years ago when we couldn't see each other in person. If you are wondering why it's called "Paul Position" it's because I was inspired by one my favourite players, Mr. Paul Gilbert! You may recognize some of his signature licks on the solo section ;) Don't forget to leave a like and subscribe!
Stefano India - Bass
Giuseppe Bruno - Drums

We all know how amazing Matteos’ guitar playing is but got to say the bassist and drummer are top notch too!

[@RichardSheehan]

Very true. Great players.

Which one is the drummer? (Sorry, but hearing and seeing this unbelievably, unapproachably amazing musicianship tends to leave me even more dumb than I was before hearing/seeing it!)

Yes. Great groove.

I'll keep supporting you from Japan by listening to this album repeatedly on Amazon Music Unlimited👍

[@trump959]

I can never decide weather to watch Matteo's face or his hands during a video, both are amazing! He purposley makes the guitar playing look so smooth and effortless, even though it's not so easy to do. When you watch his face you can see the creative process as he moves through a song, and how there's little to know resistance between what he's thinking and what his hands are doing.

In my youth I was fortunate to witness Paul's tribute with Y.R.O. 40 years later I realize this isn't full circle, but an evolving thread that one should hope lasts well beyond their lifetime - as I'm sure Bach could never have imagined Yngwie some 300 years later. And there is no more worthy guitarist to carry this tradition than Matteo. Amazing as always!

Comunque ha 27 anni, non 7 o 17... direi che è l'età giusta per scrivere buoni pezzi, l'età della maturità artistica. Malmsteen ha scritto le sue cose migliori quando non aveva ancora vent'anni, con gli Steeler e gli Alcatrazz e poi con i Rising Force. P.S. Mancuso mostra meno degli anni che ha... molti meno.

@@cotroneigiuseppe888 questo per dire che il Mancuso fenomeno precoce andava bene quando faceva le cover di Technical Difficulties nella sua cameretta a 17 anni (o giù di lì), a 27 anni ormai è un adulto fatto.

Although I almost never go to concerts I have been lucky enough to see both Matteo Mancuso and Paul Gilbert live: I won't explain that they sound wonderfully good, everyone knows it. I will simply underline that they are two pleasant, smiling people, with a friendly approach, full of inventiveness, who dialogue with the other musicians with every note, who show no trace of stardom and who involve the audience with the strength of their music. I'm also very curious about the guitar: what sound will the young but immense Matteo produce from it?

I've been lucky enough to see both Paul and Matteo live, and meet them and hang out with them at guitar camps. Not only are they legendary musicians, they are super nice in person! I've got to jam with Paul on stage three times in his "Massive jams" where he trades licks with 150-200 guitar players in a row, which lasts for hours and hours. I wish I could have jammed with Matteo. Someday maybe...it would be my dream come true.
