    Matteo, words are too weak to praise this piece, probably the best I've ever heard you play - you're getting better every year, having inherited the best from great guitarists and shredders of all generations, that experience is converging in your playing, it's absolutely mind-blowing to hear this kind of music coming from a guitar.

    Super fast but it's not a mechanical thing like a robot or something..He plays with FEELING, something a lot of players can't (or don't) do.. The best young guitarist that I know of...well, wait just a sec..One of the best period!! Keep up the tremendous work, it's some of that rare music that makes me want more & more..& more ❤️❤️❤️
