You know the old saying…….”Opinions are like a$$#€les!” Well, here’s mine. This guy is the best guitarist I’ve ever seen. No disrespect to Tommy Emmanuel, Al DiMeola or countless others but this young man does things I’ve never seen any other guitarist do before. He’s simply unbelievable!!!! And, he makes good music. Very easy to listen to. Also, I liked the word he used in his reaction as opposed to commercial. Accessible! Perfect description in one word.
The real big difference between Matteo and other amazing guitar players is not that he plays with the right hand fingers, but that he can play any style at the top, he is a complete musician.
This guy is other worldly in his ability to play the guitar. I mean just freaking unreal. I'm a decent intermediate player but he is a generational talent.
I'm italian and I've seen Matteo live last week not far from where I live. I have to say the whole concert was mind blowing, and even older people in the audience were in awe even though some sections of many songs are a lot on the heavy side, almost metalish. Seeing him (and his two bandmates) live is really and experience AT LEAST comparable to seeing Steve Vai or similar Gods of guitar, I can assure you that.
...even old people in the audience were in awe...haha I'm an old person and there are many of us who still enjoy real guitar playing. I just saw Matteo on Feb 2, the show was over the moon. He did this song for an encore.
It's not just the precision he and his band mates play with, it's the creativity too. This song rocks - it's captivating - and makes you want to replay it over and over again. He's a heck of a talent but his band mates kicked ass with him. Let's hope there is a whole lot more to come from him over the years. Thanks!
these fellows are from another system.. Matteo is absolutely brilliant. So unique in his phrasing and clean as it gets.. i could listen to this stuff for ages and still feel pulled...
I usually don't listen instrumental music, but the tone of his guitar strangely and unexpectedly "talks" to me - and in a good way. He plays like virtuoso.🎉
One of my long-time friends randomly dropped a piece by Mancuso on me several years ago and I just laughed all the way through because he was - is - *so* good lmfao!!!
Pure unadulterated music. I discovered Matteo a couple of years ago and was impressed but not too much material available. This gave me the same giant goosebumps te same as when I heard MoonChild for the very first time. Exceptionally brilliant musicianship.
Bro , this explains Al DiMeola's comments about this young Maestro . His tone & timbre matches his next level technique ... Carrying on a legacy forged by Paco De Lucia , DiMeola , John McLaughlin & all the great Flamenco/Classical shredders .
That my friend was a Roller Coaster ride. Wow That was so nice. beautifully orchestrated. on my 4th round of watching this, I then saw the location settings. Stella, totally awesome. 👍✌
Tutto il meglio, a questa meravigliosa anima musicale italiana che ci onora e da gioia THE BEST IS YET TO COME .... MAKE WAY TO MATTEO!!!! YOU AI ' NT SEEN NOTHING YET HUGS
Essendo Siciliano è vicino Palermo, conosco il papà di Matteo, Vincenzo bravissimo chitarrista e turnista, eccezionale capace di avere portato dall'America innovazioni musicali nel campo chitarristico che in Italia si sconoscevano figuratevi che lui dai suoi colleghi viene considerato e chiamato il chitarrista. Quindi cosa poteva nascere da lui? Il genio assoluto mondiale della chitarra Matteo Mancuso. ❤🎹
Vincenzo è un gran bel musicista. Ha segnato alcuni album di De Gregori con il suono inconfondibile della sua strato... Da tale padre è venuto fuori questo prodigio qui...
Infatti è quello che ho sempre sostenuto e anche questo è un miracolo perché conosco tanti figli di grandi musicisti che purtroppo non prendono dai loro papà. Io che sono un musicista dilettante non ho avuto la fortuna di avere un figlio musicista, almeno come me che sono normalisssimo . Niente!!! 😅
I just have to say am really moved by this. Such a young guy in a world of misery has chosen not to waste his time, but to deliver real music. This music has sentiments that only from southern Italy could come and you reaally feel it. He uses his unbelievable technique to express his soul, this is not shredding per se. That's why Beato does not yet get it 😅
My goodness, what did we just listen to and watch?!?😍🤩🥰🫠🫠🤗 Well, he is just …. yeah🤯🤩😅😄. What a composition! Unexpected to me as well😉, but wauw it sounded soooo gooooood!!!🫠🫠🫠🫠 Don’t know why I didn’t listen to it when released🤔 - maybe it was one of those, I chose to “save” for a bit later hoping to share the first listening experience with you and your listeners🤗. That was absolutely beautiful. How great he is … as well as the bass player! …. and the drummer… something to enjoy many times!!!🔥🔥🔥🥰👍🏼.
@@thomasprim8274 the first time I saw Matteo (my first reaction video of him) I think I was holding my breath most of the way! Hahaha. Totally shocked!
Man its like he has piano player fingers when he stretched them ! 😲🤯 OMG that was amazing!!! OMG my fingers would be broken if I was trying to play like that! That just made me want to move !!
Carlton Ritenour my two favourites over the years. This guy is on my later years list now. Have a listen to a young guitarist... Taj Farrant. New Zealand
Metteo also has the talent to do everything he does and it sounds extremely good. You don't find that with many other great guitarists. He has to have an extreme understanding of music and doesn't play crap together like other great guitarists do. He plays with his head and that's what makes him so strong compared to other guitarists we all know.
My dream is to have a composition done in tandem with Cory Henry from Snarky Puppy - OR - Have Matteo be featured in a Snarky Puppy composition and team up with Michael League and the boys..! Then we'd have musical and chops nirvana !!
Do they record at these locations, or do they dub it in from a studio recording. I don't see any cords attached to their instruments. Where is this thing? Is it in italy? I've seen this video several times now, and each time, I love it.
Привет всем) Как всегда ведущий канала нам преподносит классную музыку! Уважение ему и поклон. Просто я из Беларуси, если кто не знает, то из России))) Русский))) А вы не слышали случаем о таком гитариста как Feodor Dosumov? Если нет, то рекомендую) Автор канала красавчик, так кайфовать может только истинный ценитель музыки))) Всем удачи)))
I really love this guy, pure genius for me. I don't know if you also wonder that Rick Beato on his channel never mention him. Sometimes he makes videos about new comers which honestly are 2 - 3 steps below Matteo...I guess everybody who's in the field has heard of Matteo Mancuso. I don't know, it is just bothering me. What do you think?
I wouldn't be surprised to see Matteo Mancuso in a interview with Rick in a near future. RB always surprises me with new interviews of unexpected amazing guests.
Jeff great reaction, Matteo is a fantastic guitarist and this is amazing composition thank you for this introduction to another super musician:) his style reminds me a little of Al Di Meola.I love the guitar and the sound of this instrument. I would love to recommend for you another amazing guitarist called "Marcin" He is Polish and has a huge youtube following so your reaction is guaranteed to get a lot of attention, especially from Polish fans. He covers classical, rock, jazz, opera hip-hop all on one acoustic guitar. Highly recommended "Still D.R.E", "Master of Puppets", and "Beethoven 5th Symphony, Kashmir! link to his channel www.youtube.com/@MarcinGuitar/ Thank you from your new subscriber:))
Matteo said his first single was going to be a tribute to his blues-rock roots, in the notes of DROP D single. A new single is coming on the 23rd of June, called Samba Party (that so much looks like Samba Pa Ti). The album should be available June, the 30th, so, we'll see! BUT A LIVE ALBUM WHERE MATTEO PLAYS 16 TRACKS is available on TH-cam, since a few days. I'll try to put the links in some replies, down, here.
Drop-D is the first composition that gave me the very same feeling of another giant guitar player like John McLaughlin ...the song was "Spectrum" with Billy Cobham on drums ....that ws back in 1973 🙂
The spaceship is about to arrive and bring him back to the planet where he originated from. And I disagree and think that was in the fusion vein. Yes, I heard some blues but definitely more fusion than blues. Its all good.
He’s way better at soloing than writing music. His solos are easily 8/10. The album 3/10. Lackluster songwriting. It’s all common time. Common harmonies. Common chord changes. Literally the most unoriginal album I’ve ever heard from a popular solo guitarist. Highly disappointed. The bar is set very high and he didn’t even make an attempt to come close.
Matteo is on another level and not from this earth. Amazing guitar player!
This is a new Level in history of guitar playing, Matteo on the way to be a Legend,Mille Grazie Matteo and greetings from Germany ❤
You know the old saying…….”Opinions are like a$$#€les!” Well, here’s mine. This guy is the best guitarist I’ve ever seen. No disrespect to Tommy Emmanuel, Al DiMeola or countless others but this young man does things I’ve never seen any other guitarist do before. He’s simply unbelievable!!!! And, he makes good music.

Well, Emmanuel and DiMeola themselves are huge fans (and both jammed with Matteo). :)
The real big difference between Matteo and other amazing guitar players is not that he plays with the right hand fingers, but that he can play any style at the top, he is a complete musician.
And also, aside from Matteo's ridiculous playing, that bass TONE is just 🤘 chef's kiss...what a great track!
This guy is other worldly in his ability to play the guitar. I mean just freaking unreal. I'm a decent intermediate player but he is a generational talent.
Totally agree!
Mancuso è un fenomeno! Che dire resti a bocca aperta a sentirlo per ore!
I'm italian and I've seen Matteo live last week not far from where I live. I have to say the whole concert was mind blowing, and even older people in the audience were in awe even though some sections of many songs are a lot on the heavy side, almost metalish.

No words .I have seen this Monster in Ravenna.Mamma mia, not only virtuoso but with soul.GRANDE
This MUSIC make me dream again!
Matteo è davvero un fenomeno. Spero che tutto il mondo possa sognare con la sua musica
Spectacular composition! Non-human Matteo, very good bass and drums!
It's not just the precision he and his band mates play with, it's the creativity too. This song rocks - it's captivating - and makes you want to replay it over and over again. He's a heck of a talent but his band mates kicked ass with him. Let's hope there is a whole lot more to come from him over the years. Thanks!
Piece - not song😉
I'm confused - what makes it a piece and not a song? @@adelbertomuggler372
This song and Matteo are very addictive!! He should go this direction..as in rock leaning!! Superb
I agree!
Hot damn! That was fantabulous! Love it! ❤🎸
good Lord Almighty, that tone he has is beautifully brutal.
these fellows are from another system.. Matteo is absolutely brilliant. So unique in his phrasing and clean as it gets.. i could listen to this stuff for ages and still feel pulled...
this playing of the band is making so happy!Nice thet you feel this!THX
Love Matteo and your reaction to his playing too !
I usually don't listen instrumental music, but the tone of his guitar strangely and unexpectedly "talks" to me - and in a good way. He plays like virtuoso.🎉

A master class by everyone in that group!
Ah yes! Straight onto it. This track makes me smile from ear to ear!
Wow!!! Just wow!
That my friend was a Roller Coaster ride. Wow That was so nice. beautifully orchestrated. on my 4th round of watching this, I then saw the location settings. Stella, totally awesome. 👍✌
Right?! 😅
(I see Dirty Loops over your left shoulder!)
....and yup Mancuso is an alien from another world. Guitar World!
Bass guy has a Pastorius vibe.
Tutto il meglio, a questa meravigliosa anima musicale italiana che ci onora e da gioia THE BEST IS YET TO COME .... MAKE WAY TO MATTEO!!!! YOU AI ' NT SEEN NOTHING YET HUGS
My first time hearing him, thanks for sharing! I won't forget the name, WOW.
Awesome... so musical and tasty. Going to check it out a second time on Matteo's channel.
It’s in 6!!!
I loved your reaction! It’s been a long time since I got goosebumps from tone and the jaw dropping musicality!
Love it!😎🇨🇦
Thanks Jon! 😊😊😊
There is NO end to this young man's ability.
4:32 that fast and clean got me wow
Love the composition on top of everything ❤
Гений ....................................
I love the varied tone !
GREAT tone!
It's a new world and there's a new sheriff in town :)
Un dono dell'Universo.... nell'Eternità. Alchemico, magico Matteo ♾️🌞
Lo spazio piu' profondo tocchiamo,altre galassie.
His other composition, "Samba Party," is out as we speak.
Lots of Plini vibes here and I'm here for it!

Matteo's "Samba Party" Jeff , is equally compelling .
11 out of 10.
Excellent camera work too
Yes! Wooooow
immense technique at the service of taste...

@StrateleStudios he is. I mean the way he picks, the sound, no one since hendrix or Eddie has be floored like he does! Unbelievable

Pulls every thread from every corner of the cosmos into one fiery burst 💯💥🌞
J’adore ce que vous faites❤
Man its like he has piano player fingers when he stretched them ! 😲🤯 OMG that was amazing!!! OMG my fingers would be broken if I was trying to play like that! That just made me want to move !!
Oh my God!

by the way, the location is in Messina, Sicily
Bas player is next level
geniale !
Do they record at these locations, or do they dub it in from a studio recording. I don't see any cords attached to their instruments.
Where is this thing? Is it in italy?
I've seen this video several times now, and each time, I love it.
Ya, definitely prerecorded. I think someone in the comments knew precisely where this was shot.
Total Al DiMeola going on here!
5:01 your face is literally my face when I watch Mateo bust out a fat solo
😂👏👏👏
As Steve Vai said, that's the next level
I was just at the Steve Vai musician's camp last week and Matteo was there as instructor and performer. Vai is 100% right.
Привет всем) Как всегда ведущий канала нам преподносит классную музыку! Уважение ему и поклон.

I will play some Feodor Dosumov!
So far he is The best guitar player in the world
As the new Paganini and I don't repeat!😂
His appearance on TH-cam made 10% of guitarists on the internet bravely throw away their pick
😄
To my ears, He is a cross between Alan Holdsworth and Michael Lee Firkins.
THE LOCATION IS SICILY
I was just there. 👏👏👏🇮🇹
I LIVE 70 KM FROM THERE ...THAT IS TUSA,,,BETWEEN MESSINA AND PALERMO
@@robertodeluca9404 I love Italy. I was in Genoa and Rome as well.
Tone on his guitar is obscene. Yeah he is a Jazzer so was surprised too, although there was some sneaky chromatics in there jus
Is not location...Is Italia 😂🇮🇹❤️ grande Matteo.. grazie
Yes, obvious, but I’m taking about where is the location in Italy. 🤦🏻
I really love this guy, pure genius for me. I don't know if you also wonder that Rick Beato on his channel never mention him. Sometimes he makes videos about new comers which honestly are 2 - 3 steps below Matteo...I guess everybody who's in the field has heard of Matteo Mancuso. I don't know, it is just bothering me. What do you think?
Hard to say. I'm not sure how he decides on this sort of thing but I imagine he will eventually get to Matteo.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Matteo Mancuso in a interview with Rick in a near future. RB always surprises me with new interviews of unexpected amazing guests.
The Rick Beato interview is out there, it came out few days ago.
Well deserved!
Jeff great reaction, Matteo is a fantastic guitarist and this is amazing composition thank you for this introduction to another super musician:) his style reminds me a little of Al Di Meola.I love the guitar and the sound of this instrument.

Wow, thanks for the info!
The PFM live album called: "THE EVENT - live slbum" was recorded live in Lugano at the Estival Jazz 2022.
Great playing, it sounds like it could be a track right off of Guthrie Govan's "Erotic Cakes".
Obviously...not plugged in - in the video, but much better coming out of the studio!
In about 99.9% of bands that bassist would be the best musician in the band.
Hahaha you are so right! 🤣👏👏👏
...not bad for 27 (understatement)
😂
Please name the other musicians, both of whom are quite excellent.

Move over Santana
WTF
It's just too bad this guy has such limited chops! lol
😄
This has so much "Erotic Cakes" in it that it's almost embarrassing...
He’s way better at soloing than writing music. His solos are easily 8/10. The album 3/10. Lackluster songwriting. It’s all common time. Common harmonies. Common chord changes. Literally the most unoriginal album I’ve ever heard from a popular solo guitarist. Highly disappointed. The bar is set very high and he didn’t even make an attempt to come close.
Oh wow that’s really interesting. I’ve only heard this cut so far but I’m going to work my way through the rest of the tunes.
Whom wrote: Guitar is dead ??? Thank You Matteo.
Unico chitarrista che riesce a farmi vergognare di essere un chitarrista 😪😱😱😱
Matteo e' il N 1 senza se e senza ma
