I’m Italian and I’ve known his dad Vincenzo Mancuso from his work with some Italian artist as a lead guitarist. I’ve always loved his style and his phrasing. He’s obviously technically less skilled than his son but what Matteo can still learn from his dad is a bit of warmth and research for that melodic feel that his dad always had in his solos. I’m so happy for his dad and happy that Matteo is clearly still enjoying playing with his old man.

[@toninhozemuner]

Undoubtedly, the son has a lot of skill, but the technique that the father demonstrated in this video is simply spectacular. I enjoyed every improvised note he played. It was truly impressive.

Father and son, what a pair of musicians..!!! I can only be amazed by these talented musicians. In short, Italy has been rich in renowned musicians for centuries. Long live to Matteo and his dad Vincenzo !!

[@NevoAlmighty]

Matteo is a beast, no freaking doubt about it. Shredding it out and pulling cool and crazy scales. Super performance. BUT THE DAD! Holy smokes. He may not be a virtuos like his kid but I can hear the wisdom in his musicality. Great choices and phrases, loved it.

[@RodneyMcMinge]

As a father, it chokes me up to see these interactions. Fantastic.

[@tonymarinelli7304]

Me too I’m a guitar player and I had a guitar in my son’s hand from the day he could hold it. He’s 18 years old now and not because he’s my son, but he is an outstanding guitar player.

So sweet. This young man owes only the debt of excellence to his father. Matteo is amazing, young, always overplaying and Vincente is patient, intimate with the circle of fifths and circle of life❤❤

[@EssensOrAccidens]

Well, *occasionally* overplaying. It's subjective, of course. Such jams tend to make frenetic noodling difficult to avoid, as the player has a small transient group and a tiny period to briefly capture their attention. Greater maturity makes this pressure diminish.

Holy moly, what playing! Their phrasing (not just the son’s) complement each other so perfectly. I got to spend a little time with my then-4-year-old son on “bitars,” as he would call them back in the day. He has my musical ear and my wife’s agility, and as a result, has far surpassed both of us in his abilities. He now works in construction. I hope he picks up the guitar and drums again.
