It's truly rare these days to see something new. This is new. A lot of guitar players are going to start going down this learning path now. Bravo. He's humble and confident, should inspire many generations to come.

Феноменальный парнишка! Нет слов. Просто гениально. Стиль не мой, но отдаю должное, что он невероятен!!!!

my new favourite guitar player! I've been watching all his videos these days! thanks for this

Great guitarist from South of Italy...worldwide value❤

J'ignorais qu'il était possible de jouer aussi vite sans médiator...ce mec est fort dans tous les styles ! impressionnant !!!!

People always focus on Matteo's right-hand technique. His left-hand technique is much more impressive in my opinion. How much pressure he puts when fretting a note, the control of dynamics, and his finger tone are next level.

Matteo Mancuso is one of in a billion! Thanks Yamaha to organizing this clinics, Matteo brings a lot of value to your brand!

I share your appreciation for Allan Holdsworth and had the great pleasure of meeting him several times over the years. But I very much admire your playing and am now a big fan of yours. Way beyond us mere mortals.

Wow!, playing a very complex Allan Holdsworths piece "Fred" and without pick, now that's insane!😮. One of the 1% top KZfaq guitarists there is. I've been watching about a thousand videos of electric guitarists since 2010 and I think finally, someone is about to dethrone Guthrie Govan as the best guitarist of the Decade. 2010 -2020 which he ones ruled. Mateo ftw!🤘

We are witnessing the evolution of the guitar. Amazing and exciting.

Amazing, unbelievable, my new favorite guitarist!

I've never felt so greatful for masterclasses like this

A great showcase for this phenomenal player. Thank goodness the backing tracks are kept low in volume throughout!

What an incredible talent.

Отлично! Нет слов.

Exceptionally good! Cool technique!

30:45 the trait of a great improviser, people always talk about his clean technique but this shows how creative this guy is.

Bravo Matteo, veramente sharp and also wise for his age. Forza Palermo....

completeley amazing and very unique

Guitar genius...to be that good at his age

Legs crossed and chill, like he's hanging out in his bedroom. Love it.

I love how he acknowledges Allan Holdsworth. Allan is the the precursor to this new generation of player no matter what genre it is...

A new legend was born...

Master you até amazing 😃🎶🎵🎸

The constant tuning of that guitar would drive me nuts. Not sure how he deals with that every time he touches the fretboard. Matteo, you are 1 in a million, my friend. Cheers!

15:42

It's not that he's got a gift... the gift has got him.

That tone though! Man!!!

Matt Man, get ready to reach out to the top. You're on your way

Интересный музыкант, есть в Нем перспектива, будет сочетать в разных стилестических окрасках. Будет интересно.

His fingerstyle is so amazing! I might learn to play like him with my fingers because I do it for most things, but not melody yet! Thats very cool.

The run/lick he does at 15:42 is Frank Gambale spot on! LOL! It just goes to show what happens when someone starts playing guitar in something like a "fish bowl" where you have no PRECONCEIVED notions or limitations about HOW to play or WHAT to play. His right hand plucking style is something that was born of necessity since he was unaware that you even SHOULD use a pick. He's basically a musican born of sheer providence. As far has his "fusion focused" style goes: It's all a matter on what music your "raised on" as a player. If he'd been born 30 years ago, he would have been learning Van Halen. Vai, Satriani, Yngine, Gilbert, etc. etc. style lines, licks, songs, etc. etc.. when "fusion" as a style was still in it's infancy (relatively speaking - even though I do see he can play EJ runs well 25:52) Bottom line: Whatever a Player learns "note for note" as he/she grows into the instrument, those are the note choices, phrasing, sounds, etc. that will form the basis of their technique and "style" and so they will end up "sounding" like them until they begin branching out into their own "voice", which takes decades.

This is amazing

Definitely guitar genius, unbelievable!

The way this guy uses his fingers i would think he was using a pick, brilliant player.

I wish he would have talked about how he went about learning jazz, fusion, etc., and how and what he practiced.

What a treat!

sei un grande!!!!

Quelle mani non possono suonare uno strumento che necessita di essere accordato ogni 30 secondi. Lo strumento non deve darti pensieri di questo tipo durante le esecuzioni, ha maggior ragione con un talento incredibile come il tuo.

Uauuuu MAtteo Super!!!

Your style catch the best from all the others. Is the Jeet-Kun-Do of guitar playing

Hi, may I cut a short part and upload it ?

Bravo sei un innovatore

Awesome!

Are the presets he's using the ones that are now commercial?

Bravo Matteo

Bravissimo Matteo. Ci siamo incontrati da Guitar Point a Palermo, ti rinnovo i miei complimenti. 👍 Una domanda, il brano "Polifemo" é tuo? Buon divertimento👍🎸☺️

No doubt mastering this right hand technique mixture isn’t a matter of a few weeks (not even months), but I have decided to put away my picks for some time and play with my fingers, even though in my hands all I get from my guitar is noise and loads of harmonics all the time. That is, a total unclean sound. But I will keep going, since Mr. Mancuso has proven it is possible to make a guitar sound the same with or without a plectrum. Of course, I’m aware that means starting from scratch.

Amazing player. Would love to hear some original stuff too.

🎸👌

Caro Matteo, sei IMHO insieme a Guthrie Govan al top della chitarra elettrica mondiale. Tu e Mike Dawes nell'acustica siete la nuova generazione di guitar heroes

очень одоренный вертуоз

А пьеса называется "Apache" или "Апачи", группа "The Shadows".

Incredible guitarist!!! Please, John Suhr, give this guy a good guitar!!!}}

What is the black attachment near the nut? Capo or damper?

had to hide my guitar during this video

I notice that his yamaha guitar doesn't stay in tune , seems a reccuring problem ,even when he performs on stage, can Yamaha team do something for him ?

Forza Matteo

VAI MATTEOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Shadows was active in the sixties not in the seventies. It was a British guitar instrumental group, I would not say country band , even Apache is actually american- like song.

that right hand ikone he is a classical student just like me

Phenomenal player. The tuning was a real issue, l wonder why. I suspect a design flaw with the guitar, perhaps it needs locking nuts or something, but he shouldn’t have to be hampered by such a fundamental issue.

Уникум!

This guy is the next Shawn lane , watch this place !

А он солирует как Ричи Котцен или как Нопфлер тоже могет?

Man, been fighting with the pick for 4 years, trying all angles and approaches, and always wanted to switch over to finger style but did not find a way to play clean lines, always sounded like Mark Knopfler or Country (nothing bad but its limiting). This kid found a way aproaching the guitar a bit like a bass, but he has to dampen the strings with a rubber band or they will ring out.

What is the pick brand and size?

29:51 bad asteroid

Long question...let me file my nails. LOL, classic.

He looks like Thomas Lang

Olá Yamaha ! Gravei uma interpretação da música do Matteo no meu canal. Sou fã da marca e da Revstar =) Se poderem prestigiar o vídeo no meu canal ficarei muito feliz =)

that's ok

A fingerstyle Frank Gambale!

🇮🇹

Another Jeff Beck coming along?

Вот это я понимаю ЗВУКОИЗВЛЕЧЕНИЕ. Плотный,мягкий,круглый,обьемный звук на ВСЕХ нотах и позициях. Пассажи крайне внятны и читаемы, а главное, при высокой скорости не пропадает вылержанность нот и глубина тона, чего не скажешь про таких как Опарин и подобные,у которых гитара орет как резанная с его погружением где надо и не надо.....

It's very difficult to solo over Allan Holdsworth's tune, difficult to target and catch his melodic ability among the fury of notes...

As another person has said, stop by at 8:00 Saturday when I plan to burn all the guitars I've been abusing all these years...

Nr 1 una vita davanti a te.

And when he said... Franck Gambale CAN T do this....that's a fact... The next generation is Matteo

The shadows are a rock band , not country.

никаких вопросов, как занимается, чем занимается, снимает ли или выучивает по нотам, импровизирует ли он теппингом или это выученные фишки. как занимается импровизацией, как мыслит. великолепный гитарист, но абсолютно никто не подготовился, ничего интересного не спросил и организаторы могли бы хоть чтото спросить. за это поставил бы минус, но не буду ..

Some of those questions sounded like stories...THINK of what you want to say and make it short

Im classical composer and I compsed music for electric guitar, but I thought of using the pick; check mi channel for this compositions

This guy deserves a better guitar! It sucks!

15:25 Frank Gambale cannot do this 👆🏻😎

speriamo yamaha gli dia una chitarra più degna, questa si scordava discontinuo e il suono non è un granché

Tuning issues are a bad look for yamaha

On dirait un bassiste qui joue... quel est son parcours musical? main droite c'est carrément un jeu de bassiste

I don't like the sound fingers produce on the strings, it makes it sound muffled.

Ancora non è al livello di guthrie govan, manca parecchio secondo me... ma è comunque un fenomeno e se continua così, a breve potremo paragonarlo. Sei un grande chitarrista

Блин, переводчики! Говорите в микрофон, а не нашёптывайте в него! Невозможно постоянно вслушиваться!

На барабанах пугабэ солнцеликий ?

He’s not that comfortable at least at the start, he’s holding back partly based on being unsatisfied with the mix.

Эти фьюжн гитаристы водят не сведущих людей за нос накидывая диатоники поверх аккордов. И скорость это сомнительное явление в музыке. На фоно одним пальцем делается этот трюк, вопрос - Музыка ли это?

Great technique and most talented out there but no taste in composition selection. Holdsworth is junk that only guitarists would like.
