- Official Music video for Drop D.
Preorder/Stream: lnk.to/matteom...
I had so much fun shooting my first official video In Sicily! This magical location is called "finestra sul mare" and it is part of a series of artistic buildings and sculptures called "fiumara d'arte" (the pyramid you see at 03:17 is one of these buildings!) Drop D is one of the first original songs I wrote, I wanted to do a tribute to my first blues-rock influences, with an healthy amount of prog elements that I absorbed during my musical journey. A huge thank to my brothers Giuseppe Bruno on Drums and @StefanoIndia on Bass for their excellent work on this tune, but most importantly, for their precious friendship! Many thanks also to Antonio Presti for letting us shoot the video on these marvelous places, and of course @YamahaGuitarsOfficial for their constant support!
Video by: Filippo Silvestris, Pierluigi Ferrandini
Mixed and mastered at @ForwardStudiosRome by Andrea Secchi, Carmine Simeone
Label: Mascot Label Group / The Players Club

WTF....fingers?! The level of articulation, precision and nuance here...boys and girls, here is a MONSTER player for you.
Well, thank you for presenting him to us O_0

you can even study all lifelong but a few if nearly nobody can reach this level. even musically.
The best food, the best cars and now the best guitarist. Italy kicks ass 😁
Can't argue with any of that, your football team's not too shabby either and let's not forget the women 😆
Greetings from UK 👍
@@Killadey Oh I'm not italian haha I just happen to be a fan.
No kicking ass anymore. As Italian I sadly report you that all main cars and motorbike brands except Ferrari and Pagani are no longer Italian. Also the production was moved somewhere in Africa or North Europe. So for most of them only the name or the flag on the bodywork of the car remained Italian.
@@antonionovi1706 That's unfortunate. How about Alfa Romeo?
Purtroppo devo rivelare un segreto, Matteo è un esperimento genetico degli Annunaki.
This young man is very impressive. He composes music that is really easy to listen to. So many virtuosos are incapable of doing that.
Have you heard of plini? Particularly handmade cities album. It's sonically similar to this song
I can hear satriani melodies too ❤
@jooohan Satriani is my personal favorite. I own all of his earlier albums. I love Paul Gilbert and Vai but I don’t find a ton of melody in Vai’s music. To me his playing is to eccentric and just weird. Saw Malmsteen back in the mid eighties with Alcatraz and was absolutely blown away but his solo offerings were boring and if you heard one you heard them all. I’m a huge fan of Lynch and Eddie but they’re pretty much of days gone by. Some of the jazz guys like Govan and Tosin just don’t do it for me. Matteo is a throw back and is so easy to listen to.
@jooohan to me, personally, Emmanuel is the GOAT. Just amazing and works unbelievably hard on his craft. His version of “Classical Gas” is phenomenal. Gilmour never gets mentioned on the “so called” greatest guitarists lists. His first solo effort was outstanding.
Agreed. He did nothing abrasive. I'm tired of sounds that hurt my ears. God Himself created beauty and harmony, not dissonance.
Your use of space is brilliant and and your phrasing is beautiful! PLEASE do a USA tour! I have a son (23, guitarist), who also plays with his fingers. He is battling autoimmune disease and there are days that his hands hurt too much to play and he struggles physically and emotionally. Yesterday was one of those days. I visited him and let him hear your new music. I havent seen him smile that much for that long in months. You are such an inspiration to young musicians like my son (and older ones like myself). We hope to see you play here.
God bless you and your son 🤟🏾
@@drums5050thank you!
blessings, a huge hug for you and your son
Ignoring the absurdly high level of skill, this is actually a really nice song.
I agree, IMO that's the hard thing, when you're that skilled. You usually see huge displays of technique but never really appealing to the 'common' listener, in this case the track is surprisingly pleasant.
Ignoring the main idea you’re trying to convey with your comment, this is actually not a song but a composition.
Pezzone totale. 5 Minuti che sembrano 3, riffacchioni che fanno battere il piede pure ai morti e un botto di frasi cantabili. Il Mancuso discografico mi piace un sacco.
❤🤘
This is the young generation virtuoso I’m waiting for.
Let's just admit it .... He is weirdly EXCELLENT.
GOD MAKES PEOPLE LIKE HIM.
Ho appena preordinato il vinile, voglio supportare questi ragazzi, daje!!!
Matteo played this as an encore in Sacramento Feb 2. It was icing on the cake, what a show...
Time to support the new music with a USA tour!
The USA still supports good musicians?
I don't mean USA musicians, btw. I'm talking about USA in general. Not a good track record as of late.
I would buy tickets to see Matteo in person in a heartbeat! I know a lot of other musicians who would as well!
@@somjrgebn ...;)
@@somjrgebn LOL
@@LevelUpWellness I would too. Valeriy Stepanov would be another in fact they should do something together
Eric Johnson - Cliffs of Dover
John Petrucci - Glasgow Kiss
Matteo Mancuso.... Hold my Pick!
Best instrumental rock I have heard in a long time..
I agree, except for one little detail... MM dont use picks, so to give him your pick is useless...🤣
😂
@lanzicavalli6453
I think that was the joke my friend.. ;)
The phrasing! The musicality! The multiple techniques! The passion! It's alive!!!
Beautiful work Matteo! 🔥💙

In Rick Beato's live video today he talks about Tears for Fears and not Matteo on the day his very first single drops. Please please please everyone go onto that thread here and alert Beato!!! Copy my comment or use your own.
"Rick Rick Rick, Matteo releases his first single to-day and you're not talking about Matteo? Would you have talked about Hendrix, Beck, Santana, EVH on the day their very first single dropped? Come on!"
@@jamesragsdale8202 probablemente ya tenía preparado el vídeo
Pero matteo está en ligas mayores
@@efrainmusic What?
@@jamesragsdale8202 mencionas que Rick no habla de Mateo ,
Te repito, tal vez su video ya estaba preparado . No es porque haga de menos a Mateo y tampoco es como que Mateo necesite que Rick le mencione
Finger picking taken to a new level? Damn 😮
The MOST important thing is MELODY!!! Matteo knows this. Neal Schon...Eric Johnson...Pat Metheny...Tom Scholz...Steve Lukather and now Matteo Mancuso.
Visto? MM non tradisce
Correct
Really? I mean yes he is an outstanding musician, incredible guitarist but his melodies have no direction, very scalic, noodling.
I concur about melody. It is what makes music so communicative. I don’t see any aptitude for melody from Matteo yet though, very unlike all your examples. He’s really young. He needs to be challenged by a cowriter.
@@ace8ball391. You are correct.
Something about Matteo's playing just fills me with excitement like no one else can.
This is the natural progression of nerds that grew up listening to Liquid Tension Experiment. Fucking spectacular.
A Sheer Genius and despite his youth he is the MASTER of the Fretboard, fingers from both his hands are on Fire! . He is the Best in the World ~~~ in my Not-So-Humble-Opinion 🎸
He really knows how to build and tell story with his solos. He can shred like no other but it’s the arc of his playing which is really captivating.
Wow.. Dave Weckl, and Jeff Porcaro would have loved to have played on these tracks..💯💯💯👍👍👍
So so so proud of you my brother!! Fantastic composition, amazing scenery and great production!! Love ❤

Wtf is wrong with you, you are not Matteos sister. Lying about it for likes and views? You should be ashamed of yourself.
It’s Max and Matteo’s world. We just live in it. Long love shred
Most incredable musian Ive witnessed!
The progressive is back, finally ! I find it so refreshing to listen to it.
Mostruoso e fenomenale
Yesterday I saw Matteo and his band playing in Cervignano del Friuli. They were AMAZING.
After the show he stayed to sign autographs and take pictures.
He Is a very open person as well as an extremely skilled musician.
Wow!❤❤❤
FINALLY! Matteo Mancuso beyond the covers (all SO remarkable!) takes off towards the stars with his own compositions . The String Gods are smiling at you.
Falcon flight, Time to leave, Past language, Paesaggi siciliani (or Campagne siciliane), Silkroad, Polifemo, Steak-yo...these are all Matteo Mancuso originals already present on YT. He don't played only covers. Some of this songs will be included in his first album, The Journey, out in 21 july 2023
Polifemo : ua-cam.com/video/SE4q9Hy0Fjc/v-deo.html
@@consulentecomunicazionestr3072you are right: not only covers in the past for Matteo, but finally he decided now to make his first album (vinile and CD) with its own compositions (the ones you mentioned, Falcon Flight etc). Anyway, it does always worth to follow him. And the other musicians with him, of course. All top level. In Drop D most appreciated the bass solo, for example. Cheers
This guy absolutely rips. I've never seen anyone play guitar like that. It's like the next version of EVH. Tone is killer and song is outstanding. This cat is a true virtuoso.
A modern version of EVH, but playing without a pick, using different languages and vocabulary of jazz and fusion, and playing every genre of music with a superior class.
Many envy people said : "very good, but him not compose his own music..."
Now the answer is arrived. He compose, and is able also to construct good music
@@consulentecomunicazionestr3072 Sure. All that too.
Yeah, but it's nerd rock. EVH was for the masses. Big difference.
@@sgraider2425 I think I was referring more to his picking style; that it is a novel technique in the same way Eddie's tapping was novel when he came onto the scene. No guitar-based rock is popular these days the way it was in the 70s and 80s, so that's not really a fair critique, in my opinion. It is nerd rock, though. Only guitar players really listen to this stuff. Ha!
@@TheRodge2112 I feel like Van Halen mostly qualifies as nerd rock, although Van Halen had a wide range of fans. There is a section who listen to it because of EVH and what he brought to the guitar.
I'm here because Steve Vai told to urgently listen to this song in an interview.
Not disapointed.
I advice you to see his other videos on YT, alone or with a band. You will find better music, much more better.
This is his first single by his first album, he choiced an impact track, not necessary the best
It’s so great to see Mateo playing a Yamaha! They never seem to get the recognition that they deserve!
For years I turned my nose up to Yamaha guitars until I actually played one. Now I own several. I love Yamaha.
@@traviswhite6204 I think it was 1980. I was in junior High School. I saved some money from chores, my grandmother gave me the rest and I bought a Yamaha FG-335 from a small music shop in town. I had a setup done and the action lowered in the early 90s by a great luthier. Today, 43 years later, this guitar sounds absolutely amazing. I am still in love with it! BTW, right now I’m playing Seasons by Chris Cornell in an open F5 tuning and it sounds awesome 🤘
Como estas paisano I'm 70 years old and I've been playing since I was 10 we can't keep up with you son it's good to have an Italian brother be playing as good as you son I bet your mama and daddy are proud your guitar playing Kay Bella. I'm Sicilian .
This year's
No.1 Masterpiece
I was overwhelmed
So great!!!
The next generation is here... And the good music is still alive... What a player I can see why Vai and Di Meola speak very good about this amazing guitarrist
I like hearing new pioneering music and Matteo sets it off just fine
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWW!!!!!
Soulful, deep and mature progressive song. This guy is the Goat
Among the many other GOATS
@@intrepidmercenary_1 obviously. He must improve and grow as a composer. But I trust him
This is a different level - your OWN level. Incredible. Absolutely incredible. Whenever I think every sound that can be made by a guitar has been made, someone like you comes along and breaks all the rules to stunning effect. As a guitarist, I'm so proud of what you have done and so grateful to you for breaking the mold, doing your own thing, and introducing us to something different.
Have u heard of plini.s first record. Wow. That's pretty damn good as well . Sorta sounds like this. I thought plini was going to be the next big thing. He has worked with vai. Plini. But. Vai is impressed with this guy right now . But check out plini
Tab on my page !
Have you not payed attention to music the last two decades? It's great music, but this is nothing remotely new.
I am 63 years old,i heard jeff Beck ,John Mc Laughlin, AL di Meola,Ingwie Malmsteen,Steve Lukather Gary Moore,but Matteo plays on a new Level, Congratulations for that amazing style,Grazie Matteo
@@adamstrachn it's completely new. Two decades. Yeah, ok.
Top music video of the YEAR!
I've been waiting for a combination of Vai/Dimeola/DeLucia ...this young man is the next evolution of guitar entertainment. Bravo!
Had to back it up and listen over and over, I'm in shock. Wow man, just wow
Matteo is much more than a guitar virtuoso who use incredible new techniques and sounds, he is an amazing musician and improvising performer. We are at the dawn of a new era : the Mancuso era. You are by the far my new favorite guitar player. Thank you for this video.🎸
I wanna leave the "likes" at "69" for a while. Off the hook does not begin to describe the music. Stay funky guys!
He simply has to be divinely inspired... and to be able to do this so young. Incredible.
So good!!
What a talented guitarist, Matteo can play high-speed solo efforless and so smothly as his breath, no wonder the World's guitarist finally has the new fresh unique star shinning
MESMERIZZANTE!
It sounds like Al Di Meola, Frank Gambale, Greg Howe and Eddie Van Halen were melted together! A bit of everything!🤘👏
Hell yeah !!!
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!
Huuuuurrrrrreeeyyyyy! Music beyond the flesh!!!
I only found out about this guy today and I already know he's gonna be on my top 5 favourite guitarists soon
He's probably the best alive right now.
The best? O wow…- those are heavy words…
Sergey Golovin, Paul Wardingham, …- Guthrie Govan? Or what about Fabrizio Leo of Italy…- Marco Sfogli… same country…- Heh…!??
Oh come on…- the best…? -
Now we have an impossible situation here…- no one could be the best…(period) - or maybe yeah, someone could be for a day or two…- than the next day … there is always another amazing kid… around the block …
Just saying…- but yeah, he is really amazing…’
I'm with ya.
@@viociarnau1670I just found out about this kid from an article I was reading. The article had quotes from some of the greatest guitarists saying that this kid is years ahead of how anyone else is playing. That doesn't necessarily mean that he is the greatest, but I would argue it does mean he is already great
Oh yeah, definitely he’s ahead of a lot of us, musicians…
Remarkable player
Brutha..your backing drummer and bass..were right there with you and in sync.
Grandioso!!
Really enjoy this tune
You Got Me, Matteo! I’ve been listening to you for a while now.. just ordered the CD this song appears on! I ordered the CD to help support you, the artist.. Unlike those who do not!! Play On!!!
You young man are
THE GREATEST 🎸 👍
ciao ✌️
Phenomenal guitarist tour tour tour then tour again, share these skills around the world 🤟
spet_ta_cola_re!! 🔥
Grandissimo!!!!!!!!!
I'm speechless while listening to this song... it's a perfect mix of originality and traditions, I can feel both your style and the ones of virtuosos like Eric Johnson flowing together as particles of the same blood. Simply amazing. And as a Sicilian I'm so proud to see excellent young men like you to stand from the crowd and get all the success they deserve. In bocca al lupo compà 🥳
Anch'io sono siciliano, e perfettamente d'accordo con te. Eric Johnson è uno dei suoi preferiti come sai, con Holdsworth e tutti i grandi del jazz, del rock e della fusion. Lui porta avanti la loro eredità in modo straordinario
100%
mi sta facendo impazzire , sono un suo fan da BARCELLONA POZZO DI GOTTO E LO SEGUO DA 3 ANNI ed ho messo A TACERE TUTTI I MIEI AMICI AMERICANI CON LA SUA BRAVURA....SICILIANS ALWAYS DO IT BETTER...
I'm not impressed with his PLAYING, I to hear his influences Joe Satriani, Eric Johnson, Mark Knopfler, but he has a Latino style,surely not on the level on a SRV,OR JIMI .
Matteo become the next innovator your half way there now God bless you love your music and originality
Very beautiful music ❤
I wasn't expecting that badass bridge. Astonishing!
The rebirth of Progressive Rock/Jazz/Fusion... 💥
besides the great music and great playing, also a great video with a great location 😍
Riascoltando..anche tutti gli altri con Matteo bravi 🎉
Love the tasteful licks and dynamics going on! Bravo!
WOW... grande Matteo!!! 🔝💥🔥
Bringing back the days of "taking listeners through a musical journey".
I've heard these amazing virtuoso guitarists over the years. I was waiting for Matteo to get nasty. He Does! 3:44 🤘😈🤘👏💥Amazing!!
Grazie ragazzi, siete un trio formidabile. E poi...la chitarra, un vero fantasioso volo su galassie inesplorate, ho sempre sperato si potesse arrivare così in alto ed oggi, eccoci qua, ad ascoltare queste bellissime melodie che escono con naturalezza ma che presuppongono una preparazione teorica e tecnica fuori dal comune. Meno male che ci sono ancora talenti così, spontanei e per niente presuntuosi. Questa è l'Italia musicale che voglio. Grazie.
Sembrano l’evoluzione di Robben Ford and the blue Line
Non posso che concordare con te... ho visto Matteo Mancuso Trio ieri sera a Cervo (IM). Uno spettacolo indimenticabile-
Condivido pienamente, Matteo Mancuso se li mangia a colazione i vari Govan, Vai, Petrucci e cloni; siamo su un altro livello.
Love the overall mixolydian bluesy color of the tune. ❤❤🔥🔥🤘🏼
Killer composition and players. In years gone by, "tasty" was considered the highest praise... these five minutes were filled with wonderful flavors. Very cool video to boot.
Descubro por casualidad a Matteo.
virtuoso,grande.......muy grande,impresionante,etc,etc,etc.........
To jest aktualny mistrz świata.
I loooove this guy, his music, the video...
Amazing Matteo!!!
Thanks ❤🎸👍
Spettacolo!
I'm back again. This is virtuosic fusion but not show off-y. Always truly musical. Loving ALL the musicians here. Reminds me of seeing the Jimi Hendrix Experience for the first time -- a massive update!
Wow, very cool!
Why can't I like it more than once?
Bravissimi tutti...i soli di Matteo sembrano lame di rasoi che viaggiano nell' aria...the king.
Che figata di pezzo ragazzi.....una bomba atomica .....😃....👍😎
Killer cut and shout out to the bass player and drummer too!
TIGHT and LYRICAL. Love it.
Lyrical??
@@JamesDean-p5wwell, the guitar speaks. With very good phrasing so yea it's musically lyrical
Since I saw him shred Donna Lee crazy fast a few years ago, I've watched most Matteo vids... He really is beyond incredible, that technique gives him amazing freedom! 🔥👏💯
Great!
Thank you, I really love your music and riffs. I wish I was younger and could start again! 🤗
Yeap!
Grandissimo 🎶💥🔊🎸
Wonderful, keep doing what your doing.💯
Cleanest guitar tone player Ive heard in awhile.
Semplicemente grandi !!! MATTEO è uno dei più talentuosi chitarristi degli ultimi 20 anni ....terra fertile la SICILIA !!! GRAZIE !!!
Matteo, you are more precious than all the diamonds beneath the earth. Your sound is a perfect inner reflection of the universe.
The most exciting Guitarist around . As he matures his Compositions will reflect that. Right now his jaw dropping technique and musicality is unrivaled. Carry On Maestro
everything about his playing is superb - don't stop
Probably one of the few guitar instrumentals in the last decade that moved the needle...
Exceptional feel and timing - the size of the pocket is large.😂
Grazie mille Mr Mancuso.
Hello From France 🙏
Picking god level...clean and fast
Semplicimente superbo, brano, trio e ovviamente Matteo. .....e se questo è l'inizio...🎉
Please, please , MORE! That's the most satisfying rocking tune I have heard in a long time!
21 july album out
