Matteo is really really special. Not only he destroyed absolutely every idea we had about playing guitar but he is the sweetest, most humble kid you can come across. Obviously he needs to refine his writing skills in terms of composition etc but I've seen all sorts of players for decades and I never ever saw a player like this. Really mesmerising. Jaw dropping. A game changer for sure. I only can think of Django Reinhardt getting this far. Congratulations Matteo, you deserve all the success that you are going to achieve for sure.
@@EveryoneLovesGuitar Great interview and Matteo never ceases to amaze. Humility, centered, balanced and genuinely seems like a great person. And plays well.
Some of us disccovered Matteo about 10 yrs ago and were already amazed back then. It is so great to see he *FINALLY* gets the attention he deserves. He is hands down the best guitarrist right now.
First interview I've heard with Matteo that delves beyond music and the final part of the interview is fascinating for that reason. It really 'fills out' the personality of this great musician. Staying calm and chill in the eye of the hurricane he must be in is truly a great asset. It shows in how effortlessly he performs.
I've been playing guitar 40 plus years. I think he is truly a pioneer of the next evolution and the next level of guitar playing and he is awesome, one of the best I've ever seen Great interview. I like how you just let him talk and tell his story
The audience is just as important to the overall concert or any live experience. The reactions and energy between performer and live audience cannot be replicated in anything online.
I was blown away by Matteo`s suond cuase I find a lot the Scott Henderson vibes in it . Tribal Tech is really my Jam and Reality Check is my number one album. It blew my mind finding out Matteo was pointing Face first as his number one album. No wonder he grew to be a jazz cat just as a rocker guy.
Mancuso's right hand technique is no mystery to those who have had classical guitar lessons. What is completely original -- besides his outrageous talent -- is that he brought the classical right hand deep into jazz fusion, which is influenced by blues and rock. Another unique element is his exclusive use of Yamaha products like his Revstar guitar and Helix modeller over Gibson and other "brand" names. A player of the caliber of Matteo Mancuso can choose his sponsors; he chose Yamaha and has stuck with them for good reasons, primarily quality, and no doubt they helped him out at the beginning and garnered his loyalty. Gibson has lost a lot of loyalty with corporate mismanagement and uneven quality control even with their high prices. Mancuso's brand preference is indicative of the stable QC coming out of the guitar custom shops of Japan (I include top line Ibanez products here too), which have been underrated since forever and subjected to unfortunate damnation by faint praise and light condescension by a few unremarkable TH-cam commentators and Gibson / Fender snobs who should at least pick up a Revstar and play it one day or do more research. Yamaha's marketing is different. It puts their top line products into the hands of rare talent like Mancuso and lets their playing and magnificent instrument response do the marketing. Anyone can market and "brand" products with PR flackery; not everyone can survive having their products put through the rigorous testing under all conditions by top players like Mancuso and still be available at comparatively affordable prices.
Yamaha has had always excellent guitars. The SG 2000´3000 models from back late 70's early 80's, were far better than the Les Paul model at the time. Carlos Santana left Gibson to use those then, and these days you have the Pacifica models and the Revstar which are excellent quality for the money. However, I don´t agree with Ibanez though. If you get an RG model (I had 2 of them) is a very cheap incarnation of the JEM or Prestige models. With the RG you have completely shit hardware, terrible bridges, particularly the Floyd Rose Style ones, completely unstable tuning pegs, etc despite the necks are fabulous and comfortable. So yes Yamaha but if you want a good Ibanez you have go to get the John Scofield, George Benson, Steve VAi models. The cheap ones are just that. cheap and with a terrible QC.
Instead it's a mystery! In fact, Matteo does not limit himself to using the classical technique but merges various types of techniques that cannot be catalogued. Otherwise anyone could play like him! And in this we find his genius, his innovation, his mastery. No one, until now, has used these techniques merged together, so instead of constantly talking nonsense, try to study him and understand that we are faced with an innovator and a genius of the electric and acoustic guitar.
Totally agree. I said on another video the economy of motion of the right hand is next level compared to using a pick. There's a lesson to be had right there. I can see this approach catching on hugely. Luv and Peace.
the queston I would like to ask to Matteo. Jimi hindrix wanted to give up guitars several times. Did Matteo arrive a moment when he wanted to give up? or just a natural born player that is so easy for him.
I forget which artist introduced me to Matteo During an interview... Not sure if it was one of your Interviews or someone else's... It was either Is Steve Vai Or Al DiMeola... Is spoke really highly of Matteo...
What I've realized in this interview is that you cannot be a great pro if you are not a great human being. First your humanity, then your job, whatever it is.
matteo social media guy? impossible, when you now who his father is (vincenzo in italy is a very well known and affirmed guitarist )… and for matteo… listen to his work with snips … all live. he’s simple amazing!
That is amazing in itself, but what's even more fascinating to me is the fact that he speaks almost every guitar style known to man with perfect authenticity.
I believe a top-notch player who wants to leave a legacy should also consider recording as many albums as possible as long as they satisfy high quality criteria. He should also strive to write as much original material as possible. An example of a talented guitarist who has struck a healthy balance between his social media and concert participation is the German player Bernth.
Jeff Beck is my GOATGuitarist. Saw him 15 times. His death hit me as hard as my parent's deaths. I have been pretty depressed. Just disovered for myself Matteo Mancso a couple of weeks ago. His playing is a great anti-depressant. His playing has been great for me. I know Jeff Beck would have appreciated him. Thanks 👍✌️🙂
@@EveryoneLovesGuitar My pleasure. This interview you did with Matteo impressed me enough to follow you. Thanks for taking the time to schedule such great interviews. All the best to you.👍✌️😃

Great interview. I like how you just let him talk and tell his story
Thanks for your kind words @wallacelambert9308 and glad you enjoyed this 👍🏻🎸♫
Matteo's technique is so unorthodox, but more importantly, his musicianship is beyond his years.
Yes, I agree @okolekahuna3862 - thanks for listening 💥 🎶 🎸 !
I have to say that finger picking as Matteo learnt must be one of the best "accidents" in history.
Yes, I agree @malectric - thanks for listening 💥 🎶 🎸 !
I remember Claudio Quartarone playing like this (right hand technique) many years ago. Congratulations to Matteo for his immense talent.
The audience is just as important to the overall concert or any live experience. The reactions and energy between performer and live audience cannot be replicated in anything online.
So true! Thanks @rainscratch, Rock on! 🎸🙌🏻🔥🎶
Going to "play" my guitar. Not "practice". I've been telling my students this for a while. Great interview. Amazing player. Thank you!
Thank you for listening and have fun playing @collinbergkamp7077! 🎉🔥😇

Right on @ub59, thanks for listening! 🎸💥🙌🏻
Right on @RooEfx, thanks for listening! 🎸💥🙌🏻
A lot of those older videos he mostly played a Gibson SG, but I see what you’re saying.
Yamaha has had always excellent guitars. The SG 2000´3000 models from back late 70's early 80's, were far better than the Les Paul model at the time. Carlos Santana left Gibson to use those then, and these days you have the Pacifica models and the Revstar which are excellent quality for the money. However, I don´t agree with Ibanez though.

His right hand picking ISN'T CRAZY , ITS FUCKING EFFICiENT!
HAHA so true...!
Totally agree. I said on another video the economy of motion of the right hand is next level compared to using a pick.
There's a lesson to be had right there. I can see this approach catching on hugely.
Luv and Peace.
I remember Claudio Quartarone playing like this many years ago. Congratulations to Matteo for his immense talent.
This is Claudio Quartarone s technique.
musicista incredibile, grazie per quello che fai
Sei il benvenuto, grazie per l'ascolto!
the queston I would like to ask to Matteo. Jimi hindrix wanted to give up guitars several times. Did Matteo arrive a moment when he wanted to give up? or just a natural born player that is so easy for him.
I forget which artist introduced me to Matteo During an interview... Not sure if it was one of your Interviews or someone else's...

Great player and a lovely young man. Hope all's well David...

What I've realized in this interview is that you cannot be a great pro if you are not a great human being. First your humanity, then your job, whatever it is.
Yes, I agree @nexusseven4203 - thanks for listening 💥 🎶 🎸 ! incredibly valuable lesson to learn :-)
And keeping that ego in check. Matteo has mastered all those aspects, which fold into the composition and performance.
Man if you have time, i wish you could interviewed andre nieri, he is as good as matteo, i love them both
Thank you for listening @paulgilbert3139! 🎉🔥😇
matteo social media guy? impossible, when you now who his father is (vincenzo in italy is a very well known and affirmed guitarist )… and for matteo… listen to his work with snips … all live. he’s simple amazing!
Perfect pitch..photographic memory? Oscar Peterson had both!
He's technically the greatest guitar player in the world. His finger technique is something to watch.
Yes, amazing... And he's a lovely, bright young man to boot! You'll enjoy this :-)
I bet it is interesting to watch. Just not in this video.
That is amazing in itself, but what's even more fascinating to me is the fact that he speaks almost every guitar style known to man with perfect authenticity.
If you think that then you don't listen to enough guitarists. He is amazing, truly, but your comment is ridiculous.
@@guitaristforfunn Please enlighten us: Who's better technically?
I believe a top-notch player who wants to leave a legacy should also consider recording as many albums as possible as long as they satisfy high quality criteria. He should also strive to write as much original material as possible.
An example of a talented guitarist who has struck a healthy balance between his social media and concert participation is the German player Bernth.
