Matteo Mancuso Trio - Cortale Jazz Festival, Aug. 10, 2021

[@COTG666]

Matteo has earned his place as one of the greatest guitarists ever.

[@neuralbliss]

Who sounds just like all the other players that sound like him. Nothing original, albeit he’s good.

[@chrisotc6832]

Matteo is a genius,(hopefully not flawed) I hope he keeps it together mentally as he gets older! 🙏

[@gcolnr]

I know that it’s easy to be dazzled by his blinding speed, but what impresses me more is his sense of melodic playing when he slows down. He has a feel and tastiness to every note he plays. When he covers Larry Carlton stuff, or Brent Mason, or Pat Metheny, he just “gets it”. Amazing. Just the simple note bends, or perfect slides into another note, or whatever.

[@fusionfan6883]

The band are cooking and the drummer really put a nice twist on Fred with his more uptempo approach. I saw on another thread some fool said the band was not good enough for Matteo, but I totally disagree. Also Fred highlighted what a unique and uncopyable genius Allan Holdsworth was, RIP Maestro.

[@fusionjam]

OMG you are amazing Matteo! Amazing work Stefano (bass) and Giuseppe (drums)! You guys rock!!!

[@johnmartin4152]

Thanks for posting this. As several others have pointed out, the performance deserved better recording quality, but what we have is still quite good. Here's hoping these three play together for a long, long time.

[@defoliedavid]

Wooww!! Dropped D really blew my mind!

[@juancordeiro3311]

My goodness, what is this Drop D geniality??? We need an studio version of this

[@tomnoodling]

that Drop D piece is insane!!

[@k.j.305]

My dad just showed me this So gnarly

[@kipanshi]

Dropped D tune was really good

[@reubennb2859]

It's like a Guthrie Govan piece but with Matteo's own flair, exciting stuff

[@dwftube]

Ok so Matteo is off the scale, but the other guys are brilliant too.

[@davidgarcia6796]

"Time to leave" sounds freaking awesome

[@GregFoster-f6o]

I have to witness you 3 musicians are in the finest level in force on this entire planet you 3 are the best 👌 👍 for years to come thanks 😊 good quality craft you are gifted with and share with this world 🌎 today 😀 ❤️

[@consulentecomunicazionestr3072]

A superior mind. Everything starts from the brain. Technique, musical creative ideas, phrasing, musicality and more are direct consequences. First of all, he has an incredible head, that's what I think.

[@poppya54]

He is a serious boy

[@consulentecomunicazionestr3072]

@Zak McKracken È na'mente superiore. Tutto sta a'partì dar cervello. A' teccnica, a'creatività der musicista, er fraseggio.. so'conseguenze dirette der cervello! Questo c'ha na capoccia da paura!!! (immagina tutto questo con la voce di Mario Brega). Sei soddisfatto? Parlo come magno!

[@consulentecomunicazionestr3072]

@Zak McKracken e tieni presente che sono siciliano, e non ho rapporti con i romani! Mi piace molto il romanesco, però, e il loro spirito. Hanno uno straordinario senso dell'umorismo e delle battute fulminanti

[@mirousweden]

I'm sure that Beck smiles ... Awesome musicians!

[@quantumhealing341]

There is so much talent on this stage.

[@ivonsmith3095]

This band deserve better sound than this video provides: they are brilliant! Opening with a classic Jeff BEck track too!

[@jimmythebold589]

i saw the track title and was excited. then i heard the sound :(

[@g-love6507]

Yep way too bass heavy .. jeryxever should run the audio through an eq, add some mids and lessen the bass a bit !

[@andreaberetta6918]

Eric Johnson too

[@sjuozhunki]

There is not one band in this world that this man could not do the job as the lead guitar player.

[@GregFoster-f6o]

Really you 3 are mind blowing 🤯

[@austinmorris4471]

This dude is absolutely insane.

[@denissmith9772]

Nice "tip of the hat" to EVH while erupting at the close of set! Classy dude!

[@gianniclementejotarantella9779]

Insuperabile Matteo , Giuseppe e Bruno bravissimi e professionali , ...proverei a inserire anche il contrabasso elettrificato e con l'archetto ... chissà .... , Grazie di esistere e B.M.Sempre

[@shemueltannak4799]

WONDER! WONDERFUL! SO AMAZING! UNBELIEVABLE!👏

[@MatteoProcopio1978]

Great show! Update songlist: 1:00:12 Scott Henderson - Hole Diggin'

[@jerryxever]

Setlist aggiornata. Grazie mille!

[@poppya54]

Immenso Matteo.

[@mauro6676]

Ottimo pezzo , peccato x l'audio !! Bravissimi , Matteo orgoglio Italiano !!!

[@mikeraz594]

good bass player

[@ilprodeettorre2382]

Dato il livello dei brani e dei musicisti sarebbe quantomeno opportuno migliorare la qualita' audio. Peccato davvero anche che la telecamera sia quasi completamente dedicata a Matteo, anche gli altri musicisti meritano visibilita'

[@mauro6676]

Sono d'accordo anch'io!!

[@sveinstorum670]

You Are amazing and world’s best guitar player ❤️🎸😊

[@Davidsanchez-qk2zo]

A new legend here !

[@pauls4742]

At least it was recorded - by a mike in the front row.

[@luisvillarreal5262]

Matteo has hit the pinnacle of epic-ness. He's just having fun now. LOL What I'd like to know is; what is that white bar joining both pick ups on his Yamaha guitar? Is that like a thumb rest for his speedy solos?

[@tiny5500]

Blue Heaven ❤️

[@taxsupport2422]

There has GOT to be a better recording somewhere?? Fantastic playing...

Blues for John

[@PINCHSHOTGUITAR]

The Guitarist : Ohhhhhhh WoooW

[@runaround666]

I know Matteo is running his Helix into the PA, wish the guitar was a little bit louder in the mix.

[@gedofgont1006]

Agreed. The overall sound is disappointingly muddy, I believe. Still, the band's chops and cohesiveness really shine through. Just love what Matteo is doing, right now!🤩

[@bubblevest1544]

It is being recorded through a tiny mic on a phone

[@gedofgont1006]

@@bubblevest1544 That explains it then.👍 Do you know if there is a better quality audio available anywhere?

What the hell I was in Catanzaro that day and did know anything about this concert! Cortale guys You must improve your marketing skills for next years!!!!

[@jerryxever]

cool down dude... the Cortale jazz fest has been going on for eighteen years now, did you ever mind to check it out? or maybe you were at the Stanley Jordan (struggling to imitate Jimi Hendrix) gig in Catanzaro that same evening? just asking...

Matteo X Seth Rogen FTW!

[@meldrickcoughlin5081]

so this is what Seth Rogan does in his spare time ;-)

[@Shandillya]

Seth is a dope smoking addict

[@achenarmyst2156]

What is hanging at his right elbow? 😅

[@WilRockQ]

He's technically incredible. I was knocked out when first discovering him about a year ago. Now, the flood of notes is kind of tiring - very few dynamics, always on the beat which are things fast players have to contend with. His own song at about 12:00 is much more interesting. Doesn't mean he's not fantastic. A little of Bill Frisell's approach would do him wonders, but that comes with time.

[@dvs6121]

Pat Metheny mentioned a lot of the younger players play too many notes and not enough FEEL. They need to learn to use the space between the notes... The Rick Beato interview with Pat is gold.

[@RezaManzoori]

mad lads

[@runaround666]

Yamaha really getting their moneys worth with these guys. Wonder if Stefano and Giuseppe were using Yamaha gear before working with Matteo?

[@Maxeem79]

Gibson SG

[@chakalaka3960]

Stefano used a Fender Jazz til recently

[@Toddobvious]

I hope Jeff Beck sees this

Sorry but Snips was more lively and colorful. It only engages me, a simple guitarist. And max 1 min on 1hour concert we can see the drummer......

[@richardhunt809]

Yeah, I don’t know why Matteo left Snips. They were excellent.

[@bebezoso3050]

Secondo me Matteo Mancuso ha già superato e di gran lunga Satriani, Vai & co.
