Well we can't say, but the drummer Narada Michael Walden was a very young virtuoso already in the '70s and became a producer in the late '80s &+. I read an interview where he was saying there wasn't much challenge anymore in drumming so he got into new professional spheres and cultivated new talents where he could feel himself challenged.
One word, Prodigy. In fact, even Al DiMeloa, another prodigy is blown away by Matteo. We are fortunate to be experiencing the growth of this incredible musician!
My apologies for commenting twice but i have to say seeing the clip of Matteo and the other prodigy plus Rick interviewing will be a clip to see for ages! Matteo comes off so humble and warm hearted in the way he talks. God Bless them all!
From the 70’s onwards some of my guitar idols included John McLaughlin, Al Di Meola, Lee Ritenour to name a small sample. Matteo Mancuso is such a sweet tasteful player and virtuoso in ways unimaginable back then. As an old guy I marvel at the way online availability of a huge selection of videos both performance and teaching. By the way @RickBeato I love your work even if you’re sometimes a bit grumpy about new chart topping music which is loved and enjoyed by millions of non-musicians. UA-cam lead me to you and I really enjoy your interviews with people I will never meet 👍❤️🎸🇦🇺
All that prior classical training has been used to good effect. He really combines styles well. What a great ear. And everything he plays is so tasty, even scales.
My favorite newer generation guitar player hands down. All the other newer generation “pop-slap-crackle” guitarists are not my thing at all. So when I saw Matteo come along I said, “finally we have someone to carry on the legacy of good melody, good technique, and tasteful chops”. So glad to see him finally getting recognized for his talent
Woah, love that technique. I play with my fingers as well. Currently I'm trying to compromise and develop technique to where i can use a pick but also my other 3 fingers. Part of me likes using just my fingers though
I love that he's not into the theater of most rock or metal musicians. No goth black, ridiculous jewelry, or costume BS. Just a guy in a hoodie kicking ass.
Gimmick can be a great tool, especially for live shows. It's an audio & visual treat. Listen to Rammstein, and then watch their live shows; it enhanced the sound.
@@ICRA95 We don't live in the 70's and no one is nostalgic for that era unless you don't like progressive change. I love Bowie and Deep Purple. Music and dress are two separate things. Bowie left behind the Ziggy Stardust costume and just dressed unadorned in his last 20 years. Intelligence evolves, and the ridiculous looks of the 70's and 80's boomers are dead.
@@philsarkol6443 hahaha I can’t do it perfectly yet, but just keep practicing slowly over a ii V I or something and you will discover many ways to use it
i think everything being picked is more guitary and its just an unique sound instead of emulating sax, but legato and different rhythmic phrasing is definitely something that should be used.
And I love how he refers to it as 'pronunciation'. I know it's partly a language/translation thing, but it's such a useful way to think about it - phrases & application of theory are the vocabulary, the physical approach is the pronunciation.
He doesn’t play the guitar like a guitar player would. The first part sounds better to me because it’s the sound i expect from a guitar. But the 2nd one does make more sense musically because jazz reed instruments play like that. I never noticed it until he stated that here.
At such a young age and playing like he’s been doing it for 50 years. 🔥🎸🤯

You mean 500 years
Well yea its called practicing 😹😹
@@theshield2207🤓
He sounds like he invented old timey guitar.
He’s so damn good. His phrasing and tone are unmatched. Every note is so clean and precise. How remains so tasteful to is mind boggling.
He’s not gunna suck you bro
@@smoothduck7151 dude's just paying a great musician compliments and you reply with this, lame
he’s just going through scales? you cant do the same?
@@smoothduck7151
No... but we know you will😎
@@smoothduck7151 You don't get a lot of compliments in real life, do you?

"One word, Prodigy." So what do you want to say with that, exactly?
@@thomaschudalla7057 I thought it was obvious.
it is so completely irrelevant, why even mentioning it, unless you think (in his case) it‘s a bad thing? do you think it‘s a bad thing?
It's obviously not a bad thing, Einstein, and I don't know why you trolled me in the first place. Go out and get yourself a life.
@thomaschudalla7057 Look in the mirror sir. You are a troll.
A fantastic musician
Amazing technique and demeanor.
Outstanding

with Mateus Asato you mean?
as mr. @@NathanRechhas pointed out, with MATEUS ASATO, you mean?
This man is truly inspirational!
Saw him in Hamburg two weeks ago. Amazing experience! The drummer and bass player were fantastic too.
That young man is Butter
"The phrasing is better", No. "The phrasing is butter" Yes.

Ol Matteo is an effing amazing guitar player. The dude is just perfect at it.
He’s the new breed and he is miles ahead of just about everyone.
Matteos a really chill dude, me and his best friend mattia get along very well
I always forget about this guy and once I stumble upon his videos again I'm always astounded. Amazing playing Matteo! 😎🤜🤛
One of the best! 👍
All that prior classical training has been used to good effect. He really combines styles well. What a great ear. And everything he plays is so tasty, even scales.
in what way does he incorporate classical into his style besides finger picking?
This young man blows my mind.
🎸🎼🎵🎶🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Matteo is an awesome guitar player.❤❤❤❤❤❤
Esse é cara , só fã a 10 anos atrás, com os primeiros vídeos com o trio ...

so true.. i really can't handle all those pop slap crackle bullshit
simple case of taking your time when playing. what a skilled dude
Damn, he's good! So much control, tone, phrasing, musicality! 😊 ❤
Musicians are amazing
I love both of these guys!
This is the new approach in guitar playing. This technique is unheard till now. This guy is bringing guitar playing on new level
Classical guirarists EVERYWHERE: 👁️👄👁️
you serious?
Awesome!
Great bass player!
Truly a young giant
for me, he's the best
That's a superpower
Damn! What a talent, persistent and wisdom. Bravo! 👏🎸🙏
I love the way he says, "legato".
Well legato is an italian word, so he has an advantage when saying it
@@SE-et5nt 🤦
I believe his music is beautiful but I could listen to him talk about it all day
He says it with the Italian accent 😄
Legato means "bound" or "tied" in italian and you can hear why.
Magnificent
Woah, love that technique. I play with my fingers as well. Currently I'm trying to compromise and develop technique to where i can use a pick but also my other 3 fingers. Part of me likes using just my fingers though
You are great!
This guy is going to be the best guitarist of a whole generation
I found you from Beato.. Keep flowing in the way that you do. As a percussionist I understand
Awesome
I love that he's not into the theater of most rock or metal musicians. No goth black, ridiculous jewelry, or costume BS. Just a guy in a hoodie kicking ass.
No gimmick at all

What would you do if you lives in the 70s en the uk, glam rock era. perhaps you´d like deep purple and hate marc Bolan, Sweet and David Bowie

@@TheSunMoon How does what you wear enhance sound? The songs aren't written with matching shirt and pants in mind.
The level of Matteo's attention to detail is amazing, and his explanation and demonstration were perfect!
How can anyone play like that with their fingers? Amazing
Genius
His phrasing is amazing, the example he used as a phrase sounding "bad" still sounds better than anything I could ever play
Homie spitting scrapple quotes left and right, straight as an arrow without a blink. 🎉
I’m 100% stealing that last phrase now, thank you 👍
I dont have to steal that last frase ...wouldnt work....😂
@@philsarkol6443 hahaha I can’t do it perfectly yet, but just keep practicing slowly over a ii V I or something and you will discover many ways to use it
I’m sorry! You wanna run that by me one more time?!?
I love to pick scratches that you can see on his guitar
Wtf this broke my brain . Amazing !!!!
I would like to see more of this 😄👍
This guy is INSANE! ❤❤❤
That was AMAZING 🙌
i have just started playing at 70 and though i really appreciate this I don't feel uplifted because I know I won't reach this level in my life time😢
Mind blowing
Saxist here
We don't really tongue those fast barrage of notes 😅
But tonguing the notes in is also important
i think everything being picked is more guitary and its just an unique sound instead of emulating sax, but legato and different rhythmic phrasing is definitely something that should be used.
picked without a pick 😅just crazy
Damn man!
Me estoy fijando en sus manos y son diminutas con dedos largos. Buena combinación pata tocar .... : )
Legato allows you to accent certain notes so that you lock in with the drums and bass for a better groove.
🤯❤️❤️❤️
Most aspiring shredders: "My dream is to be able to pick every note"
Matteo: "I had to learn to shed my habit of picking every note"
Orgoglio italiano!!!
Mega Cool Guitar Player Greetings Pirmin
Dude is unbelievable
Dynamics
Even without legato everything from your hands sounds good
The way he plays guitar makes me convinced this is what it takes to be a modern classical guitarist. Hes flawless and im jealous 😭
This guy is the Eddie of the time :)
Mancuso...técnica única y bastante limpia y fraseos superb!!
Imagine if this great guitar player was introduced to pedals. I would love to build him a pedalboard.
What pedal exactly would improve his tone? Raw guitar tone is perfect for his style.
Not only for you, for everyone
even his guitar has an accent, beautiful
He is insanely good!!
just saw him live, i felt what might have been seeing EVH or hendrix back then.
This is so nuts
orgoglio italiano ❤
I think the finger style here is really helping him achieve the legato phrasing
Wow, he learned how to sing on the Guitar!
This guy can pick with a can opener and it would sound good
Italy here
Niño eres el mejor
Phrasing is what it's all about.
He's 'picking' with his tips, not his nails, right? I love the quality of the tone that produces!
And I love how he refers to it as 'pronunciation'. I know it's partly a language/translation thing, but it's such a useful way to think about it - phrases & application of theory are the vocabulary, the physical approach is the pronunciation.

Imagine being the guitar tech for this guy hahaha
Yeah makes certain notes pop out or stand out using legato so that it’s on beat better
You should interview the Danish musician Tim Christensen
Oh! Now we all unnnerstnd all dat😮😮😮😮
I can't move my fingers that fast playing air guitar...
He's ok
How the heck is he so good
😮
I had the same problem😂
😊
I HATE HIM SO MUCH!!! Because I'm EXTREMELY JEALOUS! This kid is my absolute fave these days!
Right hand sorcery.
I was an awesome guitar player until i heard this.
But you remain a great guitar owner :-)
This man is a very talented 🤌🤌🤌
This guy is a beast.
Unreal player
