Matteo Mancuso | Spoleto @ Experimental Vim 2022

[@ypasco]

I’m just crying…. Are you a magician? I don’t know how to thank you Matteo. And your bassist, omg

[@MrTimg12]

And the drummer - astonishing!

[@eugeniosalexander]

his drummer and bass player are on his "level" musicians.

[@ypasco]

@@eugeniosalexander Yes you have the words : musicians, artists. Those kind of people who are really enjoying what they are doing and sharing their passion (and not doing a business of producing only what people want to listen to). I follow them on instagram too and I don't follow a lot of artists like them who share jokes, other compositions and finally their musical intimity. They remind me UZEB at the end of the 90's, a band of friends that became, in my mind a reference.

[@biboyumandar1538]

This video deserves million views !!! MATTEO MANCUSO is the new guitar legend !!!

[@marktheelf53]

Ho 70 anni, suono la chitarra dall'età di 12, ho visto dal vivo TUTTI i più grandi (meno Hendrix..sig...) ma nessuno mi ha impressionato come Matteo...questo ragazzo ha il tocco magico del predestinato, è un fenomeno con elettrica e classica e sarà il numero 1...se già non lo è! E un botto di complimenti anche agli altri 2 fenomeni che lo accompagnano...un trio da FAVOLA!!!

[@cym13]

I am 100 % sure that Jeff Beck appreciates this tribute

[@Just-another-opinion]

RIp Beck, no doubt! 🙂 he enjoys this every single moment, where ever he may be now :-) Matteo is the perfect and only one to do such a tribute. The bassist though not to forget... man.

[@aemagnuson]

Amazing. This kid is my new favorite guitar player with his incredible taste and right hand fingerstyle articulation, and this video is in a place I had one of the best experiences of my trip in Italy, right in front of the magnificent duomo in Spoleto across from an enchanting truffle restaurant. This is a great stop if you drive up from Rome to Florence, a lovely town on a hill filled with amazing food and beautiful people. If you have a chance to visit this place, don't pass it up.

[@elvisanyanwu3141]

Che trio, porca la miseria...ragazzi, che trio.......Due pezzi per niente di facile esecuzione....e tre disgraziati uno meglio dell'altro. Spero nell'uscita di un album di originali al più presto. Non si è mai sentito un livello così spaventosamente alto a quell'età....e a livello internazionale. Proprietà di linguaggio, controllo, suono, ritmo, fantasia: questa si che è musica! Buon 2023, ragazzi!

[@musoangelo]

Jeff Beck just passed away yesterday and this is such a fitting rendition for his departure.

[@Barncatfish]

One of Beck's finest, treated to a a Mancuso virtuoso interpretation. The bass/keys work is outstanding. Tight drummer. Thank you guys so much for respecting classic vintage tunes.

Ten years ago I was asking myself what will come next after masters like Vai, Satch, Govan, Timmons, Becker, Firkins, Holdsworrth, Gilbert, Friedman etc. I had no idea about what was coming. Then came these magnificent young people ; Mancuso, Asato, Polyphia, Zytecki, Plini, Lewis, Willson, Nito, Fernandes, Basilio, Dey, Jill, Marcin, Misko, Ostro, many more and they changed everything forever.

Gotta give tons of credit to Matteo, he is always top tier. I wanted to add though, Riccardo's bass playing was amazing. Loved his solo, so technically impressive while still tasteful. Throughout he sounded fantastic.

[@chrissommers805]

Yeah, too bad the editing focused on aerial drone shots over the bass solos, such a poor choice IMO.

[@FirstLast-cd6vv]

Phenomenal. His finger picking technique allows him to do things that other players can't. Truly one of kind guitarist.

[@pmcate2]

It is fantastic. It does seem to create a duller tone though, which may not be desirable in all situations.

[@jahblowme4364]

Kotzen j beck wes,,knoppfler, Mancuso. There's quite a few more I could list

[@MetalheadNation]

If you like his finger picking technique, I think you’d like Max Ostro. He definitely uses a pick a lot, but he very often plays these incredible legato lines and other lines in which he uses hybrid picking, and his hybrid picking technique is some of the greatest I’ve ever seen, and Max is only 18. Like Mancuso, it’s gonna be amazing to see him develop his playing even further as he gets older

[@Thelavendel]

[@daddoricciroma]

La cosa che fa di Matteo Mancuso il più forte chitarrista al mondo è la sua capacita di unire una tecnica inarrivabile ad una sensibilità ed una classe di livello superiore nella "composizione" dell'assolo. Il mondo è pieno di chitarristi tecnicamente ineccepibili che fanno assoli da far cagare e gente che invece fa assoli meravigliosi ma con una tecnica limitata. Matteo è la sintesi del meglio di entrambe le cose. Orgoglio Italiano nel mondo. Oliva..... invece pure.

Amazing! So young and very talented Matteo and his band members. Beautiful played, excellent tone and accuracy and of course very nice Italian historic location.

[@GravityFarm]

This group's fantastic fusion tone reminds me of the band ICEBERG, with Max Sunyer on guitar... using a pick. lol. But still, it was the later 70's! Now, 50 years later that same fusion vibe shows up with Matteo Mancuso and his brilliant band mates. But now the music is precise and flawless; Pristine.

Prima di commentare questa band faccio i complimenti allo staff che ha organizzato questo video in un posto meraviglioso, le riprese sono davvero suggestive. Da musicista, sono imbarazzato dalla bravura straripante di questi tre ragazzi. Matteo Mancuso lo conosco bene di fama, lo seguo da tre anni in tutti i suoi video, ed è a dir poco geniale e stupefacente, ha una tecnica micidiale, suona con precisione e pulizia del suono con uno stile fuori dal comune e poi la mano destra senza il plettro che arpeggia su tutte le corde mi lascia ogni volta senza parole. Un altro vero genio che dall Italia può portare la musica nel mondo , un pò come fece anni fa il sassofonista siciliano Francesco Cafiso che andò a suonare con le orchestre jazz americane dei grandi nomi di New Orleans. Matteo Mancuso potrebbe suonare con gente come Vinnie Colaiuta o John Patitucci , è un musicista che metterei a collaborare con i grandi fenomeni americani. Questi sono i veri talenti che vanno sostenuti , altroché i Maneskin (che pur essendo bravi, non sono una novità perché fanno comunque musica commerciale), ma gente come Matteo Mancuso va valorizzata nel mondo. A proposito complimenti anche a Riccardo Oliva grandissimo Bassista dal suono raffinato e con un gusto non indifferente e a Gianluca Pellerito magnifico Batterista virtuoso dalla tecnica e dinamica perfette.
