  • Hi guys! I had some doubts recording this shuffle since I'm not a pure blues guy, but I enjoyed it a lot! Some Robben Ford- Bonamassa inspired phrasing here! Hope you enjoy it!

    I have been a studio guitarist and live performer for over 40 years. I started when Clapton was considered good, then Van Hallen changed the game and Via took it to another level. But Matteo has combined all styles and played each like a seasoned pro. Everyone marvels over his right hand, but his phrasing, touch, and overall technical creativity is mind boggling. To me. Matteo is the most incredible, consistent, and precise guitarist I've ever heard.!!! And he's so young!!! He is only going to get better. That is a scary thought!

      Brother, preach! Those that want to hate because he's so young and his technique is so pristine, can't. Why? Because he's inventive, a master of his instrument, in general, and his ceiling is immeasurable. The blues phrasing here is delightful. It's a blues in G and he's making music all over the neck, fluctuating between major and minor key centers in a way that few can muster. Viva Matteo!!

      Here is young Cristina Galietto (she is either 18 or 19 years old here), also from Italy, playing classical guitar.

    @agtronic 3 місяці тому +14

    So, if you completely put aside the technical ability, that phrasing and note choice in the relatively restrictive context of a 3-chord blues, is pretty mind blowing for someone so young. I have been playing for over 37 years (and I'm only 44) and most of that time has been spent playing the blues. While I am fairly proficient with my touch, my bends and my fretting, I cannot come anywhere CLOSE to that kind of musicality in terms of note choice. This sounds so fresh while many blues players sound so recycled. Amazing man, really.

    • @ugosmith7529
      @ugosmith7529 20 днів тому

      I disagree entirely with your assessment, in fact his composition/musicality is what is most lacking. Al di Meola said it best, "But [what] he doesn't have yet - he's not a composer. Everything he's playing in these videos, wow. But it's against any music. How is that gonna fit in the music?" The answer, it just doesn't, almost nothing he plays is memorable from a musical standpoint. I can hum several Clapton, Hendrix, Srv or Duane Allman licks and you instantly know who that lick belongs to, this isn't a thing with Matteo.

    Mateo is indeed a virtuoso, discovered him through Steve Vai's page and was really impressed. I've seen thousands of guitarist and shredders and I can say Mateo Mancuso's playing is something special, The level of phrasing, feel, tone, clarity and timing is out of this world. Who says you can't have both Speed and Emotion? I've never seen a complete package guitarist since Guthrie Govan entered the scene in the early 2000. He's like a mix of Holdsworth, Bonamassa, Eric Johnson, Gaton and Jeff Beck in one...And one more amazing thing, he doesn't use the pick!😲 The future of guitar is bright.🔥

    This little piece of music really showed me the beauty of blues scale for the first time!
    I have been a musician for over 20 years. I've listened to hundreds of guitar players of all styles.
    Mateo's style of playing is so relaxed, technically flawless, and Inexplicably sweet, that I want to "rewind the tape" and listened to his performance again and again.
    Simply amazing! Thank you Mateo!

    Matteo is the future of fusion guitar and it's great to see such a young guy so proficient. I just hope he takes a leaf out of guys like Holdsworth’s book and doesn't feel coraled into conformity.
    He definitely has the skill to explore his own unique musical cosmos and blaze some new trails.

    His bending, attack, vibrato are drenched in authentic blues but then he takes it into the stratosphere ... because he can. All of his chops and technical innovations are put to purely musical use. I would love to here Matteo and Clapton play together. I heard him solo on Donna Lee and he's also mastered the bebop language playing through changes. These genres are probably ones he has visited and absorbed like a sponge (while others devote a lifetime to mastering them). But his master stroke is to take all these styles and approaches and meld them into a visionary spear that penetrates into the future while deeply respecting the history that preceded him.

      @@johnnysilverhand1733 Well, I absolutely love the two Sonny's on After Hours - probably my favorite tenor battles on that album with Dizzy (I knew Sonny Stitt a bit and I talked to him about that session). But I think you may have missed the mark on what this young guy has to offer - he's extremely musical - much more than an ego-driven shredder. I don't think he's trying to be the next B.B. King on this - I don't think he wants to be. He's much more than a technician, which is for me what a lot of the fusion guitar players are - not to mention the Heavy Metal crew. Often the greats of old hold a special place in our hearts - they can't be replaces and shouldn't be. Just because Mancuso also explores the bebop language doesn't mean he's the next Bird either - that territory has already been covered. This guy, though, is opening a path into the future and I have nothing but respect for what he's doing.

      Purtroppo l esibizionismo tecnico non sempre riesce a trasmettere emiozioni. Qualche nota in meno e un po piu di sentimento. In fondo la musica serve a questo no? Trasmettere emozione. Lui é un talento, ma l arte no é esibizionismo. Creeo che i pollici in giu abbiano questo come motivazione. Il talento non credo si possa discutere, é lampante.
