One of my favourite tunes by Guthrie! Don't forget to leave a like and subscribe! SOCIAL MEDIA PAGES ➢➢➢ Facebook: / matteomancusoofficial ➢➢➢Instagram: / matteomancuso.guitar
I've played for almost 60 years and have never seen a more adept pair of hands! I thank God he allowed me to live to experience the mastery of guitar this gentleman possesses! Well done,Matteo!
@@waynemiller6070 why do atheist always have to announce I’m a atheist . Like what is working in the brain. It’s like you guys have to reminder God that you reject him. Even tho it won’t do you any good. Jesus Christ is Lord of All And he will rule and reign and cast his enemies into the lake of fire. All atheist will be there. And none of them will have this bravado
I agree, although Yamandu Costa rivals him, though in a very different style. Both are unbelievable. It's incredible to live in an age where we can listen and watch this level of mastery whenever we want... a gift from God indeed
totally. i've tried to use 'rest stroke' right hand technique on electric and i haven't been able to make it work. he has mastered it. almost no one else plays like this. really cool.
The problem with that approach is that he has to heavily rely on the hair bend cause theres no way he could mute the strings with his right hand. But hey, it works for him
@@joe1hundred I think the modeling pedal is a weakness in the sound, but it hellah lot easier than dealing with equipment, but it does not make for an original sound + it is kind of mushy. not many real players left re: amp mentoring. Jim Marshall is long dead and gone.
Haven’t been this impressed by a guitarist since Guthrie broke through. I’m glad. The world has a new ultra-top guitarist. And he brings new stuff to the table. A breath of fresh air!
Shawn Lane was my brother in law and I can tell you that he would have flipped over this! I borrowed Holdsworth's Tokyo dream on laser disc when it first came out and he came over and we watched it together. He was literally in the floor and laughing hysterically in disbelief! He would have loved your playing!!
I love this story. Shawn Lane was of course a phenomenon with almost inhuman musical abilities, and to hear about him reacting to Allan Holdworth's playing and music in that way is priceless. Allan has had that impact on many. When Tokyo Dream first came out on Laser Disc, that would have been in the mid-1980s? I also agree with your last sentence, the sheer fluency and effortless playing of Matteo Mancuso is nothing less than phenomenal, and Shawn would no doubt have approved and recognized the novelty of his playing and technique.
@@shittybuttrue2819 There is a reason why Steve Vai, Joe Bonamasa, Al Di Meola and others said that Matteo is a monster and recognized him as a game changer and not Joshua. There are things you cannot do with a pick, that can be done with fingerstyle. Its just impossible with a pick(or impossible to have the same flow). Joshua Meader uses pick. He is extremely talented,but his phrasing is lacking. Too shredy, and I like being shredy, but there has to be enough contrast.Also, Joshua's compositions are average and all his solos sound almost the same. Matteo's compositions are better structured, with better phrasing , but they can get better aswell. They are both young, lets see overtime, but as of now, Matteo is top.
He needs to work on his own voice though, we know he has the chops, but if I hear Frank Gambale I know it´s him without knowing a song, Pat metheny, Scott Henderson, Allan Holdsworth.
I'm 62 and a good amature guitarist. I could never play like this no matter how hard I tried or even if I had 3 more lifetimes to practice. 7.8 BILLION people on the planet Earth and I have never seen anything like this guy. Great note selection, execution and picking technique. OUTRAGEOUS!
I love this thread...Matteo really is The Evolutionary Personification of Mankinds musical ability.... He clearly has numerous familiar influences....but his ability is unmatched.... There is NO ONE LIKE HIM
Matteo has gone a long way now...but every now and then I come back to this video, because the song is huge in itself and his cover brings it to another level....
Cool it's in fifths!! Very nice!!! This guy is too good to be true. He has the knowledge and technical skill of players 30 - 40 yrs his senior. I don't know how he found the time to transcribe all these artists!!
Been a Govan fan most my life and found this performance emotional in a good way. This song is one of my all time favs. This definitely put a smile on my face ❤
I don't believe there is anybody on these planet that is so skilled and knows the fretboard like him. It is just completely insane. I can't believe how good his phrasing is. Al DiMeola said it would take life timeS to get that good. He is just a freak of nature - I say that in the most positive way. Just Incredible!!
Best electric guitarist on the planet!!!!! I've been playing 55 yrs - all genre's& know all the other greats, Mclaughlin, Eddie V, Shawn Lane, & many many more & this young man can play any genre & style on electric, that I have seen & I see & have seen a whole lot.
I don't always leave comments.... but when I do..... I usually type a bunch of letters. uh.... wow, that was GREAT. Clean and precise. The tapping was really clean and I honestly have no criticisms. Timing, string bends on the money right up to the exact pitch, etc. etc. Great job.
@@Harmonic14 he is unbelievably great player but Matteo’s sound is more recognizable because of his music preferences and rare finger picking technique.
Omfg! This amazes the hell out of me. I never saw a guitarist alternate pick with their fingers at that speed before. And so freaking clean! Amazing dude.

Nope. That's impossible. Well, if it IS possible, uh-hh-h...only Matteo can do it so flawlessly and magically. It is simply stunning to see and hear! Thank you, Matteo!
Matteo Mancuso’s guitar playing is so overwhelmingly good that words are not enough anymore, so i’ll just raise my glass, tip my bonnet and thank the Universe that i have been a witness to this incredibly magnificent and brilliantly clever young man. Cheers & salutations!
it's incredible...(!!) just binge-watched a lot of his videos... incredible.. yet.. after a while I wish he would draw out of line so to say.. something that would yield a surprise for himself to begin with.. because he NEVER sounds like he surprises himself... and that prevents me from connecting to his playing on an emotional level. I am however - like anyone who hears him I guess - amazed at his ability and versatility (!). I don't know him but he sounds like a likeable guy.. and judging his playing, I think he has a very even temperament... never getting out of balance quickly.. throwing a tantrum.. instead; always thinking rationally, logically and in terms of efficiency. Nothing wrong with that of course (!) but being direct and matter of fact can have the drawback of being less compelling or imaginative when telling a story. I hear parts of what I believe to be his personality, shining through in his playing; amazing as his technical facility - and required affinity with different styles - is, in his playing, a lot of the notes (if not all) sound evenly weighed in terms of intensity, coloration, dynamic shading etc.. becoming somewhat monochrome sounding... so what I'm hearing is "just" an incredible mastery of well organized notes that fit a particular piece ... played in virtuosic ways... but to me the end result sounds a lot of the times like the predictable outcome of a rigorous practicing schedule rather than the kind of inspiration that could generate (with me anyway) a deeper emotional reaction to, or appreciation for, his playing. Guys like Hendrix, Van Halen... but also guys like de Lucia.. Raphael Rabello.. Pat Metheny, Scott Henderson.. just to name a few... they were/are all searching while playing.. and roaming the ground of inspired playing where knowledge and technique (some more than others) were simply means to an end. Either way, this kid is obviously gifted and as a music lover and guitar enthusiast I'm looking very very much forward to hearing what he comes up with and how he develops himself musically. Bla bla bla.. . jeezz.. sorry for the unnecessarily long text 🤪
Quante volte avrò ascoltato questo brano suonato da Guthrie.. perché non sapevo dell'esistenza di questa cover.. semplicemente pazzesco, mi ha tolto ogni dubbio.. sei il più forte e verrò a vederti dal vivo
For the longest time I've been saying that Matteo plays as good as Guthrie, only to come across this video. And to say that he's as good as Guthrie is an incredible comparison, because he is!
Yeap, the bar has been raised BIG TIME. Matteo picked where the Satrianis, Vais, Gilberts and Govans left, and took it to a whole new level. Jaw dropping performance.
lol Man you are from another planet, excellent tone and beautiful interpretation, you will be an important guitar player, im more than sure, greets from Colombia
Dang, I'm shocked.. this is absolutely amazing. Such a superb performance, clean, precise and musical. Really good job, hope to see more videos like this.
We could be looking at the greatest technical guitarist ever. He's just transcended right hand technique completely. I can't think of anyone else who has done this. Gambale, Holdsworth, Malmsteen, Eric Johnson....seriously, this young dude just tears them all apart. If I was him, I'd be walking around wearing a goddamn cape.
Carlos Trujillo I'm talking from a purely technical perspective. Not from a songwriting perpective. the guitar guys don't even rate for me in that regard, as harsh as that sounds.
I Wear A Fez Now yes, I'm aware that he's using bass technique. lol. yet no-one does it like he does. bass players included. He's technically better than anyone (regarding his right hand) I can think of. pattituci, pastorius, sheehan, hamm, you name it.
This guy is freakin' one of the best..i see other great players & everytime i go back to see his videos he proves me he can match them even better..Matteo your the best!! Have your fingers insured!!
Without any shadow of a doubt, you are one of the best guitar player of history, caro Matteo! Ascoltarti e vederti suonare è puro incanto, congratulazioni!!!
@@consulentecomunicazionestr3072 Wrong on the first statement. He's way above normal. Probably wrong on the second one too. I don't think he knows so much music living a normal life. He probably doesn't run the streets getting into mischief. Last comment is definite.
@@knowmusicman157 I'm sicilian like him, my friend, and I know what I say. Excuse me for mistakes in my writing. Matteo 's father is a famous italian guitarist, session man, that played with some important italian artists. Matteo grew with a guitar in his hands until he was a newborn. I agree his musical level request several hours of daily exercises, but he is really a normal guy. Not a superhero. His skills are maybe an heritage
Impresionante ,tenes un gran manejo del tapping y de escalas hiperbalicas con una digitaciòn muy limpia y precisa,te felicito,segui asi gran video,sos un virtuoso subi mas videos,genio,saludos desde Argentina.
@@X7creek It's a musical phrase, that is commonly used mostly in jazz, someone noticed it and made a compilation of it calling it "The lick". It's basically the musical version of loss meme, people hide it in their music and wait for others to catch it and call them out for it.
I love Guthrie but I must say, I like Matteo better. Matteo's tone is more to my liking. He is one of the cleanest guitarists too. But most of all its his choice of notes and the feel with which he plays. Bravo!
I like him as well I'm just missing that snap sound if you use a pick. Doesn't have as much impact if you ask me. The sound is just rounder of course because of the way he played it.
Did you start with playing classical? You have the right hand of a classical guitarist. Another question: do you use your right hand finger nails to strike? If yes, how can they not hinder you when tapping?
This is incredible. And we know Guthrie pretty well!

I hope Guthrie has seen this, because that was amazing 👏👏👏👏
I don't know fof sure if he saw it, but Matteo doesn't. He kept his eyes closed the whole time.
didnt lee ritenour create the song? just wondering because lees version was 2 years ago, so this maybe a cover of a cover.
There are Guthrie covers-then there is this! AND its 7 years ago (yeah late to the party) this is flawless....rediculously flawless
I've played for almost 60 years and have never seen a more adept pair of hands! I thank God he allowed me to live to experience the mastery of guitar this gentleman possesses! Well done,Matteo!

Matteo 's father is a famous italian guitarist, session man, that played with some important italian artists. Matteo grew with a guitar in his hands until he was a newborn. I agree his musical level request several hours of daily exercises, but he is really a normal guy. Not a superhero. His skills are maybe an heritage
@@consulentecomunicazionestr3072 Capisco. Non faccio di nessun uomo un supereroe. Solo alcune delle personalità bibliche erano super eroi.
Probably the best sound, technique and improv I’ve ever heard! Fantastic job!
Not a lot I've not seen but I've never seen anyone shred distorted plucking like a classical guitarist/bass player. Insane technique!
Brilliant playing Matteo. Keep rockin. You have a new fan today.
Thank you Steve!
Impresionante ,tenes un gran manejo del tapping y de escalas hiperbalicas con una digitaciòn muy limpia y precisa,te felicito,segui asi gran video,sos un virtuoso subi mas videos,genio,saludos desde Argentina.
This is so smooooth, timing is amazing and great note selection.
How masterfully beautiful, I love that song and see it way out of my reach. Thank-you for sharing!
Senza ombra di dubbio, uno dei più talentuosi chitarrista al mondo.
Diciamo anche il migliore 😎
WTF THE IMPRO SECTION!!!!!
Gustavo Rauch hes a fuckin monster
Absolutely outstanding. Bravo!
I know this is an older video, but this rendition made me smile. A great tone and amazing interpretation. Well done.
Matteo Mancuso == virtuoso!
grandissimo Matteo,prima avrai il posto che meriti!
you nailed every note! Amazing cover and by far the best I've seen on TH-cam
Matteo is the best.
Como pode alguém dar deslike num vídeo desses??? só pode ser inveja! Top
2:13 the Lick
@@pmckeown22 no, that is exactly The lick
wreck hare care to elaborate this ‘the lick’ thing?
@@X7creek It's a musical phrase, that is commonly used mostly in jazz, someone noticed it and made a compilation of it calling it "The lick". It's basically the musical version of loss meme, people hide it in their music and wait for others to catch it and call them out for it.
wreck hare thanks man, I’ve seen a few ‘the lick’ comments before but never got it til now.
X7creek Adam Neely
Flawless 💯 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
maaaaaaaan! hes finger picking and tapping it all too! Insane! one of the best covering one of the best!
I love Guthrie but I must say, I like Matteo better. Matteo's tone is more to my liking. He is one of the cleanest guitarists too. But most of all its his choice of notes and the feel with which he plays. Bravo!
I agree
I like him as well I'm just missing that snap sound if you use a pick. Doesn't have as much impact if you ask me. The sound is just rounder of course because of the way he played it.
@@mystery6411 his playing and touch have way more impact than any snap and pick 😂
are you feeling good with no guitar pick?
I am your new fan dude!
Thank you man! I started with fingers since i was 10,i just can't play with a pick ahahahah
Really? or are you jokking man?.
Just like Paco De Lucia bro !!
Did you start with playing classical? You have the right hand of a classical guitarist.
Another question: do you use your right hand finger nails to strike? If yes, how can they not hinder you when tapping?
Peter Laman his finger picking is more a mix of bass picking and standard finger picking
Guthrie is amazingly talented. Matteo is a pure force of nature.
Good lord, this is phenomenal.
Sei un fenomeno!!
Grazie Claudio!
Cosa vorrebbe dimostrare questo giovine, che la pennata alternata è superata?
Forse sì.
Matteo you're amazing playing boy. Great Technic and feeling
You're a wizard, dude...
