    Finally here’s the third official music video! This time we chose the opening album track called “Silkroad”. It is a song that I wrote years ago while I was listening a lot of whammy bar masters like Scott Henderson and Jeff Beck, so my go to guitar was a Yamaha Pacifica this time! It is also a tune dedicated to my beautiful home town Palermo, I tried to portray the beauty of his Arab influences with this middle eastern vibe, while maintaining my rock soul, and that’s how “Silkroad” was born! A huge thank to the Superintendency for Cultural and Environmental Heritage of Palermo for letting us shoot the video at the beautiful Castello Della Zisa, and also to the Archeological Park of Solunto and Iato for letting us into the Arab baths of Cefalà Diana! Thank you ​⁠@YamahaGuitarsOfficial for your constant support, and thank you ​⁠@mascotlabelgroup for everything!!!

    I live in 5 km to Matteo's liveplace. His father is a legend, he plays many years for Sanremo orchestra, when the music was Better with no simp, autotune etc....from a legend is born another legend, and I'm very happy for this. In the states Matteo has got his own deserves, while in his homecountry the 90% of the people use to listen shit like neomelodical singers or new Little singer from music industry. I always dream taking guitar lessons from Vincenzo Mancuso, but his son Is reinventing the instrument. Proud of him!

      he knows what music is, unlike >99% of the others. he also has incredible skills on his instrument. music is a language of emotions in the first place and a solo tells a story without words, but with the connected emotions of the story, whatever the story is. music induces emotion in the listener if it is a good piece of music. and it has nothing to do with fkng speed. Most of the Malmsteen stuff for example induces a story and visuals in my inner eye of 10 thousands cockroaches running around looking for food. it's also music, but,...no.

    The best "new" guitarist out there. Matteo has shades of Eric Johnson, Scott Henderson, Allan Holdsworth, all without a pick ala Jeff Beck. His textures are as varied as Steve Morse or Guthrie Govan. His sudden bursts of speed with legato and tapping is what really sets him apart. I never got into fusion yet this guy uncomplicates it and makes it melodic and easier to follow. At :45 and 4:16 its like a whole new song with tempo and time shifts similar to Joe Satriani and Dream Theater. Truly jaw dropping as somehow it totally works cohesively.

      I sort of agree, except that definitely not just ANYONE (or just any guitarist that wants to) can play fast or play melodic or both. Those things do mean different things to diff players, but both of those things, to me, are something that VERY few players can do well. But anyways I think we probly agree overall. Just a matter of terminology probly. Like for me I always say that "note dynamics" are the most important thing in lead guitar. Without it, melodic playing just sounds lifeless to me and then in fast playing, (I dont like the term but it'll have to do ATM) , "Shredding" sounds horribly robotic and boring without some note dynamics to accent and steer the series of notes in a musical way. And omg does this dude GET IT! He is absolutely amazing and I love it.

Nothing about it was easy and nothing about playing slow is easy either. Playing well requires dedication. I'm quite sick of players downplaying this stuff as if they know something that nobody else knows. The only thing they know is how to sound like a pretentious jhoke.

    So many commentors mentioning Matteo sounding like this or that influence, but there is no need to diminish his accomplishments. Matteo is the purest guitar player I've ever seen or heard. Whereas most of these influences are great in their own style with maybe an occasional foray into another genre, the really incredible thing about Matteo is that he can legitimately perform so many varied musical genres...including jazz fusion, Bebop jazz, rock, blues, country, flamenco (spanish style) and classical. There are examples of all these on UA-cam. Plus he covers and puts his own twist on tunes by Holdsworth, Carlton, Metheny, Pastorius, Weather Report and more. Who else has shown this amount of ability?
    After doing these covers, we now finally find out he possesses his own very advanced compositional skills. So many interesting chord changes and done so beautifully.
    One additional thought...what Matteo does with his novel technique is so much more advanced than your typical pick player, because each of his fingers acts as a pick and he has to coordinate all those compared to just a single pick to think about. It's truly phenomenal. Plus he looks so comfortable playing and makes it look effortless when it's obviously not.

      @@skierpage My comment "Who else has shown this amount of ability?" could have been more complete. I should have included "for so many genres at the highest levels". When Matteo plays any genre each sounds like that is his particular forte. Check out his videos, or better yet buy The Journey and hear his range.
      Although there is a lot of merit for Guthrie Govan being a great electric guitarist, after you comment I watched videos of him playing acoustic with a pick and some attempts at jazz standards like Donna Lee, and those sounded like a rock guitarist visiting other styles.
      But this is not a contest, and music should never be. Matteo is exceptional not only for his advanced musicianship, but also that he has developed his own approach to playing the guitar...one which lends itself to clean articulation, efficiency of movement, avoids the difficulty of string skipping with a pick, has the notes of the chords literally always at his fingertips, etc). I would hope that upcoming guitarists adopt was Matteo has brought, and unlock more of their potential.

      Thank you for mentioning Jeff Beck,
      my heart is broken from his death.
      Even though he lived a full life at 78 and created such great diverse music. The local radio station that is "where the music matters" community station in a major city here in the United States doesn't play any hidden gems from Jeff.
      Even though they play Stones and Springspleen over and over, yes of course they play great independent music from many artists and styles but for some reason they slag Jeff's incredible interpretation of beautiful music... WTF 🤔🔥🎸🎶

    • @asb3pe
      @asb3pe 7 місяців тому

      yep I also hear tons of Beck and Satch too, but also someone nobody else has mentioned - Eric Johnson, the Ah Via Musicom era, I think it may be due to a very similar tone with that album and Eric is well-known for string skipping licks so maybe that's part of it too.

    Hello Matteo, just wanted to say how much I am impressed with your playing and your band is magnificent! As a lifelong musician I can appreciate how much time you spent developing your skills and your style. I absolutely love how you combine so many kinds of music in your playing. It's like a breath of fresh air. While I'm impressed with all your technical ability which is stunning, I am more impressed with your compositional skill and your sense of melody. I am looking forward to following your career in the years to come. I wish you all the best in your musical endeavors!

    Hands down this kid is the best guitarist on the planet. It’s not just his technique. It’s his sound. His ability. He’s the future of guitar. And he’s so young and can’t imagine how much better he could get. It’s awesome to see him and be able to look back on this. He’ll be talked about for years upon years, future generations.

      Age, doesn't always bring more skill. Sometimes the more you learn, it can fill your brain with techniques that can throw your sound or originality. Contrary to this, unravelling ones self through playing, is all apart of the music tapestry. Exploring cracks n crevices unchartered. Obviously knowledge is powerful, it's the way you apply that knowledge that makes a great player. You can learn all the techniques of the world, but if you don't know how to flow between techniques, coax emotion from listeners, then it's just a bunch of ideas filling space and time. I suppose in itself, the craft of guitar playing is meant to be experimental, choreless, enjoyed by both player, and playette. Matteo, is one of those players that knows how to meld them all. I had to specify that with time, comes more responsibility of what to do with that newly acquired knowledge, but doesn't always guarantee being better.

    Hello Mateo. My name is Alejandro and I live in Spain. I play guitar and I love Music. A bassist friend who lives in Holland told me about you. We were talking about the technique of bassists and the new generation of musicians, and this colleague told me: "listen to Matteo Mancuso." I watched your videos today and I am surprised by your technique; the scales, the use of Tapping, the arpeggios, not using a pick but your fingers... your technique is impressive!🎼🎸👏
    I didn't know you and I was amazed!😯👏
    You made me remember Weather Report by Al Dimeola and Stanley Clark 🎸👍
    A greeting from Spain!
    PS: And I see that you were born on November 22, just like me!😄 That is the day of Saint Cecilia, the Patroness of Music and Musicians 👏👍🎼

    This Guy is a humble beast... I'm 45, I've been listening to instrumetal stuff since 1991, from Tony McAlpine and Vinnie Moore to Al Di Meola and Manolo Sanlucar, from Toto Cutugno to Tosin Abasi, from Django to Yngwie... Etc. But this "Sicilian Guy from the Next Door" is not a promise of the future, but a true statement of the present.... I'm a low-average player myself, but I'm glad to be able to admire his evolution throught the years, not just using a totally unique and uncommon technique, but translating his senso-motoric knowledge to a melodical language and natural flow which is not separated from the antropic feelings that music will rresonate forever... Unbelievable Talent
