One of the best on the planet right now.

Mancuso is a fine example of what someone who owns a guitar can do when they don’t waste years comparing guitarists on the internet.

I was a freshman in high school when Eddie came on the scene...I was too young to understand what he did to the music scene... Now I'm witnessing it with this kid... Game changer.

This guys tone is impeccable and his phrasing is otherworldly. I absolutely love his Jazz infused style. This kid is a monster of a guitar player.

This kid has absolutely everything. Total facility, total musicality, great taste and phrasing. I know Holdsworth is an influence, but to my ear Mancuso is much more musically consonant. Amazing.

Guitar pick factories are shutting down as we speak...

I wonder how many of Matteo's honored critics would be willing to get upon the stage with him? This kid is fantastic tone, spacing, time, feel. Every single composition he covered is a masterpiece. I hope he develops into the composer and arranger on the level of musician he already is

An alien Is on the world...Matteo made a new idea to play the Guitar...absolutely Amazing...

Ok, I’ve found my new favorite guitarist. 👊😎 Greetings from New Orleans 🎭

This kid is a next level talent.

Matteo, il Paganini della nostra epoca. 👏 🇮🇹

His father, Vincenzo Mancuso, was for years the guitarist (live/studio) of one of the most important Italian singer-songwriters, Francesco De Gregori. He grew up in the middle of Music and with Music (the serious Music, not the shit we're forced to listen to today) for which he was "marked" to become an excellent musician !!! :)

The shapes and finger picking he does, is just beyond amazing. He’s just addictive to watch.

Ha - loved the celebration when he nailed that Guthrie tapping section on the second attempt. His improvisations over the track show his obvious technical prowess. Amazing player!

i m proud to see how great this sicilian guy is becoming in the world of guitar. I m sicilian :)

Этот юноша не просто хорош,он гениален. Такие люди не позволят умереть джазу...

Truly one of the most gifted guitarists of this era. He's the logical successor to Guthrie Govan with his stunning technique, range and feel. I expect him to be study material in music schools. Let's hope he continues to play and entertain us with his magic for decades to come!

A true master of the instrument. His musicality and fluency are unlike anything heard before. Yes, the references to Holdsworth and the more recent Govan are there, but Matteo brings them to a whole new level of excellence. Grandissimo.

BRAVO!! His TONE is what made alllll of his chops more enjoyable. Being a Guthrie Govan fan, Shawn Lane, Allan Holdsworth, etc... it’s all about there tone. Dudes got a bright future ahead. Love it

Matteo is a human sound machine whose natural appendage is the guitar 🎸 ! What a gift.

Virtuosity in a cold climate. For me, he's the most exciting young player out there. His awareness of what he's doing, communicates directly with the audience.

Any time I listen to MM feel excitement. We are witnessing an exceptional musician, one who is a rare gem, among the greatest ones. And he is so young his future is bright! Thx for the great uploading.

I find myself listening to Matteo play on daily basis & usually my jaw drops on the floor ! Purest talent I've heard in my entire life ! ... Which planet he originates from only he could tell ! Beyond sublime !!!

Respect to Matteo!!He's one of a kind guitarist!!🎸💓🎼🎶

Sessantunmo anni e circa 55 di musica che grazie a mio papà ho imparato ad ascoltare senza peconcetti. Continuo ad ascoltare di tutto con prevalenza jazz. Conoso da poco Matteo e ci ritrovo tanto di quello che amo: Pastorius, Corea, Saint Jermains, Rush, ... Potrei continuare a lungo perchè ogni pezzo che sto asoltando è pieno di pulsioni. Un interprete che vedo come grande potenziale di collegamento generazionale della musica. Bravo!

the look of self disappointment he gives himself at 1.58. Shockingly talented fella.

My favorite jazz player of modern times

Grande orgoglio e talento Palermitano nel panorama chitarristico mondiale! Congratulazione per lo stile e la bravura. Continua così!

poche cose mi commuovono come il Talento, tu Matteo sei un turbinio di emozioni con il massimo della naturalezza

Incredibile che possa ancora apparire qualcuno che fa qualcosa di mai visto (tecnicamente), mi fa sperare che si possa inventare qualcosa di nuovo anche musicalmente!

The kid has personality yo. Both himself and in his unique playing, he's so authentic

Virtuoso, live! Brilliant! Guitar 🎸 master! Virtuosity on display!

The first part is "Bad Asteroid" by The Aristocrats. Originally played by Guthrie Govan.

Brilliant! Unique picking style and wickedly awesome taste, tone and speed! This young man can play folks!

Great to see another up and comer Guitarist using Yamaha Revstar, I marvel at his finger techniques.

Faccia pulita. Talento cristallino. Ti adoro. Bravo Matteuzzo

Just amazing, incredible, wonderful, unbelievable, fantastic and every other synonym that you can think of!!!!!!

Great performance, with your own tone and fingerstyle technique. Guthrie should be proud of this excellent cover.

Matteo, simply 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. In every musical genre his performance is the top.

World-class talent with ridiculously incredible chops and knowledge. It will be a fun ride to see where he takes this in the coming years!!

This is so cool to see Matteo play live and hear him speak, just awesome! He's just an amazing player and shows so much talent and skill. Pure musicality.

Opening with Guthrie Govan? The balls!

Eccaaaallà...... Un altro palermitano che da lezioni di chitarra al mondo.... Grande Mr Mancuso!

Great stuff, Matteo. Your right hand technique is impeccable and more unique than any other electric player around, ever. Looking forward to seeing your growth as the years proceed.

Great and famous guitar players, sit down and listen.

Even established veterans of guitar are touting this guy as the most impressive on the scene now.

Negative comments about this young man's playing here? Why? His command of the instrument, Technical ability and absolute Nuance playing are unparalleled. He's brilliant and oh by the way check out his right hand.

Fantastic guitarist from Italy.

The top player now.

Outstanding player, lush creative arrangements, full of expression and fun to listen to especially Spain......wow

Che meraviglia di musica Matteo, sei il Nostro Orgoglio Italiano. Mamma mia che tecnica unica, a tratti tra Al DIMEOLA - PAT METHINI - FRANK GAMBALE - ERIS JOHNSON. Sei un Grande. E Grazie Eugene per averlo postato, davvero Grazie

Any musician who knows what it is to have cold fingers understand the struggle for dexterity. Matteo always overcomes as I pray his soul does too...

Man this guys is fantastic! playing and Tone both awesome!

Tone is impeccable!

I admire a lot the skills of this amazing guitarist: I saw him playing the classical, jazz and prog rock music and also explaining his right hand technique, style pf playing and improvisation. He does know what he is doing. I am amazed how much talent he has, and he looks so genuine. This is the discovery of the year for me.

Grande Matteo ! TERRIBLE ! Fresh, relax and innovation ! 👍👍👍

Original song from The Aristocrats, Guthrie Govan ❤

Isn't it unfair to be so great AND so ridiculously handsome? I mean shouldn't he have to look a little like Allan Holdsworth?

MATTEO sei uno schianto di chitarrista , di livello mondiale !Complimenti da un vecchio siciliano ad un giovanissimo talento siciliano

GRANDE TALENTO SICILIANO....TI SCRIVO DA CATANIA...W LA SICILIA....

In simple words...Matteo is a beast!

Grande Matteo! Altro che Maneskin, sono questi gli artisti che meriterebbero tanto successo.

Fantastique !! Inspirant !! Il maîtrise tous les styles et toutes les nouvelles tendances ... Jeune homme au talent illimité !! Bravo !!!!!

Semplicemente un Dio della chitarra!

Es un talento fresco , con técnica ,muy llena de vida , creo que el estilo resalta el alma de este guitarrista . Sin duda es lo mejjor que he oído y visto en muchos años .

Absolutely amazing player!

Love his music and interpretations! Great Mancuso!

Early birthday greetings (Sunday the 22nd) to Matteo....Bravo! Greetings from Tennessee.

the most surprising is his bass style finger technique... stunning player.

It's cold out there, man! I know all about it. Fingers buck in the cold. But brother Matteo makes the best of it. I've never heard a sound from this young man I didn't admire.

Красавчик!

One of the very best since Allan Holdsworth, unbelievably talented.

It’s interesting how he plays at two angles for his right hand, one where it’s the position for playing a pick at 45 degrees (but without a pick), and another angle where it’s more like classical guitar so he can pluck the strings directly up. The first angle enables more string muting because the thumb can rest on the bottom strings, but the second angle enables a crisper sound because he is plucking straight up instead of at a diagonal angle. Both hand positions have their use.

un grandissimo talento italiano...e un grazie a suo papà...

Sei straordinario, un vero talento. Grande.... non ci si stanca ad ascoltarti

Quando bravura, bellezza (musicale e non soltanto) e umiltà si incarnano in una sola persona.... CONGRATULATIONS MATTEO !

He is from another world.

That amount of talent should be divided between at least 10 other mere mortal Gtr players!There are ALWAYS naturals in any given field of life and this young guy is one of them!!I tip my hat!!

Great.....!!! Thx for this special Matteo !!!

Never ceases to amaze! Matteo is da man!!!

Jimmy Hendrix, Stanley Jordan, Van Halen, Pat Metheny, Jonatan Kreigsber in 1. Amazing!!!

Matteo is the Mozart prodigy of today's generation.

Matteo melting ear drums and brain cells again! This young guy represents a great future in guitar playing fusion music!

Unbelievable playing and phrasing. On another note, he'll never have to worry about losing his pick!

Mind blowing. That's all I can say. (Slight pause,...then the soft swishing sound of my guitar flying out the window as it crashes to the ground below.) LOL

Un grande chitarrista , ti auguro una carriera strepitosa . Buona musica

Delicate playing, just amazing. The rockish solo sound very flashy, cannot believe he was picking all those notes. Wow, hope to hear more from this out of this world guitar player. Best wishes.

Geez!! Frightening, wonderful, exciting, exhilarating and inspiring all at the same time!

Love his playing. He can do it All.

His reaction at 5.14 when he nailed that lick was amazing.

Lovely runs with such melodic arpeggios! Love from Nepal man ☮️ you’re the new generation/ our generation!

As a long time guitar player I always thought it would make sense to play the current styles of guitar with your right hand fingers but there was no way I could start over again, it's awesome to see this. Great playing dude. I have to start looking for his music.

Excelente Matteo! Genial todo el grupo. Felicidades!!!

3:11 favorite line, so smooth 😍

Thank you Eugene for this video!

I was not a Yamaha fan until now.

Un grande talento tutto italiano 🇮🇹💪🏻☀️

Matteo is a great player, I'm really impressed, I'm not going to rank him because I don't want to piss off all of the great players I'm friendly with, I'm sure Matteo has many of them feeling insecure. If he develops his songwriting skills he will morph into something truly special.

First song: The Aristocrats - Bad Asteroid (Gothrie Govan)

This is the real talent and virtuosity right here
