- By definition it's not often we come across once in a generation guitarists. Shawn Lane and Allan Holdsworth were probably the most notable. Now there is Matteo Mancuso. Leaving pro players agast with his incredible playing style, more versatile than a swiss army knife and with phrasing that would melt a stone cold heart.
In this video we look at some reactions to Matteo's playing as well as some of his best clips. The guy is frighteningly good. His new album "Moonlight" is out with his band DriftLab, check it out below:

#matteomancuso #guitarist #guitarsolo - บันเทิง
His speed is excellent, but its the thing I notice least in his playing. His phrasing is entirely unique, and ever evolving. I would describe his playing as lyrically melodic. Astounding talent. Truly astonishing
WTF
Okay.
Actually his phrasing is a lot like Greg Howe
Fair. Lofty ground regardless. Apparently Ive ruffled a few feathers for complimenting the man!
@@THEtimguitartaylor those compliments are absolutely deserved. He's a virtuoso
I was lucky enough to meet him and even have a drink with him and his band after they played a show in Ireland . He is such a lovely kid so humble . Yes he is the future.
This kid gives me the same feeling as when I first saw and heard Stanley Jordan. Just an unreal command of the instrument in a unique different way that is melodically musical (jazz, r&b, and fusion type style) and technically gifted. Fantastic player.
WAY more musical and lyrical than Stanley.
its like damn this guy is a crazy shredder and rock fusion guitarist, and then he proceeds to also be a better country guitarist than every country artist out there
Matteo is so much more musical than many of the young shredders on the scene today. That alone, apart from his supreme technical mastery, sets him apart.
Spot on
Shredders are just shredders. He's only playing one note at a time.
@@johnwattdotcaWhat? The? Fuck? So, I'm doing a flash check of my mental archives, and... yeah, I think you've done it! That last comment of yours is the single dumbest, most content-empty piece of editorializing I've ever come across! Do you understand the scope of that achievement? Man, inane doesn't begin to touch what you've crapped out, here! I'm going to just leave this, now. I fear that any further time spent in the orbit of your "comment" will only lead to potential brain decay on my part, and I can't afford that! You were "kidding," right? I mean, please tell me that was simple, clued-in "troll-ery.". A waste of time, still, but at least I won't worry quite as much about the future of our race, if so. Jesus. "One note at a time." First off, not exactly true (double stops, fingerplucked clusters, etc.). But if you come up with a way to play multiple single notes at the same time in linear solo lines, please share, will ya?
Shred is a "technique".
Just as lame blues players who cannot bend in tune.
The jazz fusion influences with his choice of phrasing is just so mesmerizing. Like Larry Carlton on speed.
It's not only his playing but also his goddamn tone that blows me away.
Agreed. Clean but warm. Eric Johnson all day long. Think he has a Line 6 Helix with some signatures tones - there's a video somewhere. Thanks for watching.
My opinion as a professional musician:
This is insane in the BEST possible way ❗
EVERYTHING is unique about Matteo and imagine this, he is in the beginning of his career !!!
Matteo, I really don't want to sound fatalistic, but DON'T die man 🍀
You have A LOT TO GIVE to our world 👍❕
RESPECT ❗❗❗
Are you waiting for nude photos to come out?
@@johnwattdotca Grow up
@@SIRebrum I'm too grown up.
@@johnwattdotca ur f jealous
@@CactousMan639 I'm not jealous of anyone because I'm happy with me. Poor Matteo, he doesn't sing, what makes you a musician from birth, if your musical heart lasts that long.
Phenomenal player, chops, tone, melody...he's the total package.
Kudos to you for featuring Mateo. He's not just technical, he brings style and feeling.
Impossible to ignore this kid :) Thanks for watching
Matteo with 2 t
Dear Lord. When he straps on the Strat I heard Beck, then the Tele mind blowing
@@Vita-a-stelle-e-strisce Sorry, Portuguese is my second language and must have influenced my "Latin" spelling. It won't happen again!
@@Vita-a-stelle-e-strisceI thought it was 1.5 t's
I've been playing guitar for over 35 years. This is the first time I've seen him, and my jaw just hit the floor. Wow!!! It's not just his technique,. Incredible phrasing too.
Same here bro..also playing guitar for 35 years but this guy just knocked me down..he is unbelievanle!
Won't sell many albums tho playing this genre .
It is really hard to make a living playing guitar and any genre. If I played for money I would have quit a long time ago. I play the guitar because I have to. I can't put it down. It's like I have to create something every single day. I'll play it till the day I die.
No stylel of his own
@@robertdefex3439 I have to strongly disagree with your statement. Even his technic is very personal (he's not playing in the flamenco or classical style as I could read it, inspired from it but it's something else and it's not just a trick, it gives him this phrasing so peculiar, extremely clear, that he's got).
He already has his own style (even if he's also capable to interpret others' music with feeling) and I'm really looking forward what he's going to create in the next years.
But as impressive his technical skills are, it's everything but shredding, it's always dedicated to the music and phrasing, I followed him for a couple of year now and I will probably be amazed for decades by his feeling and phrasing,
Probably the best guitarist out right now and I don't say that lightly. It doesn't matter what style he plays, it's always brilliant.
Yes.
Outstanding technique apart, SO MUCH good taste mixing phrasing ideas that lacks to many brave cold shredders today
@@miguelfernandez1362 Totally agree.
He did what most guitarist did not do
So don’t forget Guthrie 😅
Mind blowing versatility, technique, cleanliness, virtuosity, phrasing, maturity way beyond his age… there are many young great, really great players out there… but Matteo stands out definitely.
I like the fact that He masterfully encompasses so many different styles .
Such an inspiration.Incredible Musicianship.
Almost like Guthrie without a pick. What can't this kid play??
Yeah, reminded me of Guthrie. Mind blowing. I play for 40 years and feel like a lame beginner :)
His right hand technique. OMG!!!! That’s what makes him so unique and enables the incredible left hand lines. Truly an evolutionary step in guitar playing.
Its just classical guitar technique on an electric. When he pivots his hand, he's doing rest stroke. Though, yes, its is quite incredible to see how proficient he is with it. And the phrasing. Dude is going to be legendary
@@chrismuratore4451 that's what I was gonna say haven't seen many use classical right hand technique on the electric though
@@guitarskin9758 its hard to do it at speeds like that. And thinking about it, he is kinda taking the traditional techniques and evolving them to a new level so the cyclist man was right. It will be interesting to see what the next generation will do when inspired by the likes of players like Mancuso and Abasi.
I can't stop smiling listening to this kid rip like that. Crazy good!
Saw him with his trio live in Sacramento 10 days ago. The show was amazing...and he did an unbelievable Jeff Beck cover. Played entirely new solos over his own compositions from his album. He's the real deal. Truly exciting player. Can't wait to see what the future holds for him.
His ability to rip through those fast runs like liquid yet still remain musical reminds me a bit of prime Eric Johnson. Fantastic.
Yeah, he sure can keep the melody smooth. I really like what I heard from the 1:08 point in the video clip.
yeap wrote the same thing :)
I think he is more advanced than even Eric Johnson. To me Holdsworth is the closest I’ve heard to his skill level.
And his Cliff of Dover cover is the best you can find on TH-cam
@@eugenioartioli9767 I just checked that out, I'm even more impressed now, and it was 6 years ago!
Mateo's right hand is flamenco-style, and on electric, he also mutes unwanted strings or string noise by muting them with his other fingers while playing with the picking fingers!! His note choices and horn-like intervals while improvising is something else, also!! The tone from his picking hand resembles the attack of a pick, while retaining the warmth of fingerstyle. Truly a one-of-a-kind, unique player in this day and age!!
This isn't flamenco style. It feels more like he comes from a nylon classical background, kept on going with the fingerstyle stuff when he expanded his music and adapted it. But i don't see flamenco techniques here, appart from rest strokes if it's what you meant, which is not exclusive to flamenco
He's also using a string dampener for the unwanted string noise...I'd like to hear what it sounds like without the dampener.
@@mickeyjohn2442 yeah, muting strings is a part of good guitar technique as well. He’s not using that for decoration.
#versatile!
It's not flamenco it addapted from classical tech. It call apoyando and tirando.
Matteo Mancuso is totally amazing! Awesome talent with no doubt!
Incredible phrasing and technique.
I saw an interview in Italy and he's also a very nice person and... very very humble.
As an aficionado of good guitar playing and student of music theory and composition at university, I am astonished by this amazing young and bright talent. I was totally floored back in 1971 when I discovered British guitar phenom John McLaughlin (after being initially introduced to Page, Beck, Clapton and Hendrix), but after hearing this highlight reel of Matteo I’m back on the floor again and struggling to get back up to catch my breath! This young artist has nowhere to go but up, and there are few out there now who come close to his mastery over theory, fretboard knowledge, various styles, phrasing, acute sense of the music around him (pocket sense?) and most important, musicality. I hesitate to compare MM to anyone alive or passed, but I’m looking for some gravity and center here in trying understanding his unique approach to the instrument and idea execution: I start with Larry Carlton, probably one of the greatest masters of clean, melodic phrasing ever, and add Guthrie Govan for shear effortlessness, virtuosity and imagination. Surely with the Flamenco training MM has had he has now expanded the instrument to a full two-handed standard that few will be able to emulate. My question: has MM begun to explore world music and other theories of music as McLaughlin has? I hope he will as I see music as a universal language for him to access and utilize with theories from this wider universe. It would almost be too much to ask for!
Sounding like that on an electric guitar without actually using a pick is what I would call mastery at it's finest
As a melodic fingerstyle guy I love the last clip. Perfect amount of shred. Not distracting but just enough to embellish a gorgeous melody
The fact that he can play multiple styles is equally impressive.
Spectacular technique extraordinary execution BUT (for me the most affecting) is its marriage to melodic invention. It’s beautiful. A true creative. What a privilege to witness.
I really hope this guy goes a long way. I haven't seen anyone who even comes close, including the greats
Joshua meader
Yeah!
Take my word for it, I'm the best ever.
1:08 My God it's not just the technical brilliance, the note choices are absolutely incredible. I'm going to need a minute to lift my jaw off the ground and compose myself.
My exact reaction when I first heard/saw him play.
Yeah, but the context is unoriginal as it can be. Waste of the best talent and brilliance made virtuous overcharged elevator music. He put grandiosity to sleep within the boundaries of generic mediocre studio music. It’s like he’s got everything to do great music but he’s just a tasteful top notch session guitarist.
@@MilkoOfficialChannel it's hard to imagine what a guitarist must do to earn your compliments if Matteo fails. So would you please enlighten us?
He is BEYOND amazing! I would love to hear him jam with Pat Matheny and Steve Morse to name a few. He is already a legendary player. Mind blowing.
He sound like Pat in away
You hear so many younger players just shredding away but this guy mixes in the jazz and can play with a band. Amazing.
Whoever bought him his first guitar...THANK YOU!
His playing is so fluid it sounds like a keyboard at times.
I've always loved that sound of top players where their picking and fingering are so absolutely perfectly in sync that it has that special sound to it. Then there's the odd good player who's a tad the other way where they always pick just a TINY fraction of a fraction of a second before fretting a note. That sound drives me bat****. :P
Do you know Roy Marchbank? He is fluid.
I mean, if you are an eagle, you must look at the sun, as Shakespeare would put it. If the statement is so loud as next level, he must stand up to Marchbank. Does he?
@@u.v.s.5583 Roy is not human. Insane skill.
I think "Next Level" is already in his rearview mirror. Aside from mastering every style, somehow he has grasped the feel and flavor that takes most of us a lifetime to get.
How is this even possible … mind blown 🤯 what a genius this guy is …
I first saw this lad about 2 years ago in a random vid that popped up in my YT feed. I was fascinated by his playing style, and his phrasing and his note choices were/are wonderful. I just hope he doesn't disappear into widdle land to please the masses. A very, very talented player indeed!
It won't happen. When someone has this level of musical knowledge can't go back to bubble gum...
He plays like he's lived a hundred life times! Astounding!
That’s what I thought! Saying that….I’ve a few friends who are not the far behind him. Great plays.
Absolutely.
@@martrinshyde You need to get them on here. It's great to hear all these up-and-coming musicians
It is impossible to play this at such a high speed and produce a good sound without using a pick. This is insane!
I play mostly without a pick and it feels more natural to me, the sound is maybe not that crispy as with a pick but I can play more fluently with my fingers (obviously miles away from his playing)
He s the best Guitar player in the world today
Might be impossible for you, but Mateo makes it look easy. What is cool about his right hand technique is there is no pick noise, it's ultra clean.
So beautiful to see a young talent, which do it on his own way. This is how a Legend rise.
Not just blazingly fast but extremely musical sounding. I’ll need to see more of Mateo.
His genius exudes from the unique tone you can only achieve through finger picking. It almost sounds like a keyboard, unmatched tone!
All the creative elements of guitar playing/ expression being displayed in this Young Man's playing !!!
that's what I call Honor to the Guitar .!!
Also, this guy is one of many in a new crop of young musicians that are just raising the bar in every category. It's a great time to be alive.
Can you name a few for me to checkout cause I’m thoroughly impressed with this young man!
@@nickspeakstruth133 Max Ostro
@@nickspeakstruth133 Polyphia?
Charles berthoud. He’d be in this category. Another is Joey Alexander on piano.
@@bryceb8331 Charles collabed with Bernth. But I would love to see Charles jam with Max Ostro
He's the best I have ever seen. I can't believe his feel and understanding of the fretboard. He surpasses any guitarist currently on this planet! Just incredible!!!
I had heard of him but never had heard in play until now. I don’t usually gravitate to shredders. His technique is so clean and articulate. His speed and accuracy are mind blowing. I honestly don’t think a guitar can be played with a higher level of mastery!
Reminds me so much of Larry Carlton, so smooth, so precise, melodic, just beautiful. What an extraordinary talent.
He way beyond Larry
More advanced musical consciousness but love Larry as well but ....,...this kid is the bar
his sense of rhyhm is exceptional! been a fan of him since day one!
He started out playing classical guitar as a child, and took that to new heights.
Also young Josh Meader is a monster player and on the same level like Matteo.
Agreed, he is.
What makes ppl different is the fact that u do and find your style that alone makes u stand out
Matteo : So young and so talented. Once in a lifetime Guitarist !!
AMAZING! His sound is (as best as I can compare) 30% Holdsworth, 30% Lane & 40% Carlton. Simply mind blowing for 23 years old!
yes you have right !!
larry carlton too ... frank gambale too
When he gets to the point that it's all Matteo and I can recognize him after a few notes that's when I'll know he's arrived.
I remember watching a video of Guthrie Govan a few years back and commenting that I can't imagine another guitarist coming along that could be more fluid and versatile than him... Well, I STAND CORRECTED!!!
He is not more versatile than Guthrie in my opinion. Guthrie's rhythm playing is off the charts.
He’s only young, give him another couple of years, it can only get better .
@@johnwilkes681 Totally agree. For versatility like Guthrie I stated where he needs to begin to excel.
Matteo is a freakish lead guitarist.
Was looking for a Guthrie comment.
@Viet Nguyen fair enough. You must admit that his soloing and improvisation skills are, at the least, equal to Guthrie's.
Very smooth & expressive~
Shawn Lane, Albert Lee, Allan Holdsworth, Chris Buck, Pat Matheny, Plini... All in one... and he's at the beginning! Wonderful!
relax dude. he might have the technique of holdsworth but in terms of note choices, phrasing and chord voicings, allan is just in another universe, basically an alien. but kudos to this guy. it's probably as close as mortals can get
@@hazardeur I agree. Some here are going over the top a bit. Yeah the dude can really play great but to be honest i did not get the same feeling like it did when i first seen/heard Lane, Holdsworth, EVH(in 1978) ,Malmsteen(1983),etc.
Technically, not even close to Shawn Lane.🤣It terms of style versatility, not even close to Bumblefoot / Buckethead.🤣
I agree, let's not get too crazy, holdsworth and lane are untouchable
@@hazardeur Excellent comment...
His technique is what makes him unique. Respect 🙏🏻
Matteo is awesome and unique, I've seen him live and I'm going to see him again in a couple of months, man he stops traffic
He is a absolutely fantastic guitarplayer and he is a mix of different styles. He has the ability to develop a unique approach like the master himself Allan Holdsworth. It will be Interesting to follow his career.
what a wonderful timbre he built to make his technique a work of art... another level indeed!
Mateo Mancuso number one !!👍👍🙏🎸🎸
Hard to disagree with that :)
@@facemelters is no it ? 😉
Yep, he is amazing. His sense of melodic lines and rhythm is very sophisticated. Top notch. But what is really twisting is that he plays it all with nothing but his fingers on electric guitar !
Most shredders I get bored within a minute. Not this guy. His phrasing and ideas are so wonderful, I just want to continue listening in awe as to what brilliance he'll come up with next! Bravo!
Extraordinary. Utterly splendid.
100% with you there. He's a special guitar player.
The guitar community needed new talent to *really* take the instrument into this millennium - not just Vai, Satriani, Malmsteen etc etc.
All these famous names are without a doubt still very valid, impressive and musically relevant, but still it is based on what they developed last century.
I'm stunned by the skills of young people like Mateo, but even more so by their dedication to their instrument!!
Who said young people can't invent anything anymore?? 😀
The new generation will come up with sounds and techniques us old guys (I'm 57) never could even dream of. And that's as it should be 😎👍🙏
Tim Henson comes to mind
Best music was around '60-'80, doesn't matter the type. And will remain the best ... forever.
Guthrie govan… 15 yrs ago
Astonishing. His swing, pocket and melodic sense are what give his astounding technique so much depth.
He scares me. Truly one of the best of the 21 century. He's easily one of the best guitar players ever. His fadt and tastful licks are out of this world.
No
@@maugrinder
Yes
Just discovered him. What I like most is that along with his incredible ability is how musical he is. Look forward to following his career.
Dang! This dudes tone is freakin awesome, already part of my fav. Players
Mancuso Endemoniado!!! Lo máximo de lo máximo!!! Brutal!
Matteo is like Allan Holdsworth and John
Mclaughlin on speed!
Mind blowing.
He's probably not as strong (yet) as either of those players, nor at the level of Al Dimeola in his prime, nor close to Paco who was also of course fingerstyle. But he is fantastic, and beyond the technical ability aspect, one of the most musical players out there now. I'd put him at almost the level of Guthrie (Govan). He is something special no doubt.
Have more respect for those 2 legends, Holdsworth reached out of this world speeds, and so Mclaughlin.
@@mikeanaro And yet,Allan and John
didn't see eye to eye.
@@stevewilcock4767 Honestly I think Allan was capable of anything he could imagine but John? Not so much...two genius musicians none the less✌️🏴
Imposible compare this kid with galactus holdsworth. Holdsworth was more complex and unpredictable from horn vocabulary. Guitar for him was just a tool. Besides, allan didnt need play with two hands for his solos. Just with one huge hand! Come on!
Unbelievable. I've only recently discovered Matteo. I'll be watching for more.
When Steve Vai says you're next level you are doing something right. His left hand is so fluid but it's the right hand doing some real crazy shit. I'd love to know just what it was this young man put up for stakes at the crossroads, in any case it would appear he won.
toca muito! grande talento!
Very cool. He reminds me so much of Brett Garsed, it’s crazy how I don’t see anyone mention Brett’s playing.
brett is like the ONLY guy that could even come in viewing distance to holdsworth. in a way, it doesn't surprise me that he suffers from a similar fate (nobody knowing about him etc)
And TJ Helmerich
Jaw dropping talent, what a joy to listen to
Wow, unbelievable!!! So good!!!
Unreal talent. Love the fingerpicking mixed with a jazz fusion style. Technique is flawless.
First time I've seen/heard this guy play - what sets him apart from my perspective is that he genuinely makes music...he has a grasp of melody and feel to his fast playing...it is NOT just amazing speed and dexterity...he is making MUSIC with great emotion and FEEL !!
Couldn't have put it any better myself!
Finally getting some looks. Go Matteo 🤘
Even his technique is very unique, i must say his tone, phrasing and musicality is even greater. He's just fantastic.
unbelievable! He plays with speed but not just runs of speedy arpeggios but heartfelt phrases. My mouth was literally hanging open while I listened. I'll remember this name!
Just. Freaking. Wow. When you're impressing guys like Steve Vai, you're really doing something special. And I'll echo other posters: It's not just the chops, though the kid has all-universe-level chops for sure. But listen to his FEEL. Listen to how fluently he switches styles. Listen to his tone. This is a musician, and I can give no higher compliment than that.
Very impressive player. I find it interesting that he uses a finger style technique that's normally used by bass players rather than guitarists. He would also be a great bass player, I'm sure.
Classical guitarists also use this technique for some pieces of music. Maybe that's how he learnt playing guitar.
Has he EVER played in A BAND ?? Completely different thing. Basically a quasi Holdsworth, but ALLWAYS sitting down TH-camR. I Admire that he uses all the "Picks" gifted to him. ( &, anyone who does ) I play with my fingers & occasionally a pick. But, Espically after the Covid thing, Not playing with An UNREAL Band, is freaking me out. There's a "Magic that is possible" That can pull incredible things out of you, That you normally wouldn't even think to do. I hope he explores this. Sometimes you have to go through many people to find "IT" This would take him to yet another leval.
You tube has plenty of videos where Matteo is playing with his (at least) two bands.
th-cam.com/video/HrOfLmQgROc/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/mIWVyyj2JIU/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/ST9--HWOTA8/w-d-xo.html
He has played live, but at the end of the day he is just another overrated TH-camR, great guitarist and horrible musician.
Where can I listen his albums? Right he has none.
Thank you Matteo for a slice of magic.
I’m obsessed with his playing
That kid is fantastic. His style is the same as the great Danny Gatton's . Long live Danny Gatton!
I just love his videos where he is playing other instruments legendary solos, intrincate improvs by Coltrane, Dizzy, Charlie Parker... note by note... just amazing!
This is definitely the new kid on the block wow!..he covers every genre beautifully.
Not since I saw Holdsworth play have I been so blown away.
At 23 years old? He'll be freaking us out for a while. 🤘😬💨
I'm not sure about the other guitarists mentioned but I definitely hear a lot of Guthrie Govan inspiration in the playing, very cool stuff.
Wow! He's got a good balance between styles.
Whaddya mean? It's basically one style until he did that country stuff.....not discounting his ability....just sayin.
Everybody’s talking about his phrasing! Yeah I’d say that’s what’s getting me too. I haven’t been blown away like this since the first time I watched Guthrie Govan play. Astounding.
"from rock to blues to Holdsworth" Allan you are a genre now.
Wow. I grew up listening to all kinds of things like Dixie Dregs,Pat Matheny and on and on. I love making noise trying to emulate all the classic rock tunes but I was always aware of the amazing musicianship of these type of artists. This guy and a few others just make my brain glitch. Such a different level.
This is the best I’ve heard since 1984 when I listened to Malmsteen for the first time! Amazing 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Same here but the first time saw Shawn Lane in early 2000's - doesn't seem possible, but he's doing it.
Problem with Malmsteen is he is clumsy and messy I find, always biting off more than he can chew?
@@Neil-Aspinall not when I saw him last year ,he was at the top of his game. Alot better than when I saw him in the 80s. Mateo is bad azz also
I bet Matteo doesn't impress Yngwie. Only Yngwie impresses Yngwie.
@@facemelters bro what a huge exaggeration man. Shawn Lanes note choices are not great to say the least. Its uncomparable.
Same with Yngwie, he's a mindless shredder without feel next to Mancuso. I kinda like Yngwie but just can't stand the flurry of awful sounding notes that come from Shawn Lanes hands.
Magnificent! He takes the rest stroke to whole new level, and it is not mindless speed.
Wow!!!! Thats amazing
Is anyone going to ask if he can compose? I hope so because that is what seals the deal. What does HIS music sound like. Sure, commoners can see he is fast and smooth, and guitar players get blown away by the talent, but does this just translate into another session player career? Matteo, as a big Holdsworth fan, I love hearing your playing - how are your compositions going? Much success Matteo!
he just released a solo album, go check it out
Check „Drop D“ for example, it‘s a delectation.
An absolute beast! Followed him for 5 years now
Hardcore Mancuso fan in the house! Only discovered him a month ago 😳
5 years now for me also. I'm surprised that there's no clips of his original trio back when he first broke
Brilliant. Period. Once in a lifetime player.
The guy is a prodigy. 99 plus percent of guitar players cannot do that.
99? I would say 100% of guitar players who aren't him can't do what he does. Sure, I would never go so far as to say so-and-so is better than this other guy since it's all just about personal preference, but I think he stands clearly on his own just in terms of incredible technical ability and speed combined with amazing feel, and being able to play across seemingly infinite genres and I don't think it's possible to confuse him with another person. His finger picking while sweeping totally blows my mind though. Edit: Sorry, guess I didn't really clarify this point, when I say nobody else can do what he does, I mean that everyone has their own unique way they play. In that regard, nobody else does what he does.
matteo and andre nieri is the best fusion player right now. but Guthrie and frank gambale is from another planet, and R.I.P allan
