Matteo on Sweep picking and tapping

The video's owner is MUZTORG - as the original is mixed with the Russian language, I just wanted to make a short version on 2 important notices.
Hope I don't cross any rights.
Hey guys thanks a lot for the compliments! I wanted to clarify some things about this video, my English here is far from perfect so I wanted to correct myself in some parts. First of all at some point in the video I said that Gambale doesn't have the Rhythmic control while sweeping, of course that's not true, Gambale has a lot of rhythmic control and groove in his playing (he is one of my favorite players!) but my point is that rhythmic control is harder to achieve while sweeping with the pick because of the movement itself. If you perform an arpeggio with fingers you can basically decide every note order you want because the finger is already on the string, So with enough practice you are able to perform a lot of unusual string-skipping arpeggio ideas that can be more tricky with the pick, and also have more rhythmic control over the one note per string arpeggios because you don't have to "wait" for the pick to arrive on the string, the finger is already there! Of course there are also disadvantages about the fingerstyle technique, for example all the 3note per string patterns like the malmsteen- Paul Gilbert runs are easier with alternate picking rather than fingers, I had to work A LOT to achieve the hand synchronization for these kind of lines, so the main rule is that with fingers you have more possibilities with arpeggios, wide intervals ideas and basically everything that involves string skipping stuff, while the scales, chromatic runs, 3note per string ideas and basically all the lines where you have a lot of notes on the same string, are easier to play with the pick with alternate picking. I hope I explained everything correctly, I will for sure upload some fingerstyle lessons in the future on my YT channel, so stay tuned ;) thanks again for the kind words!

I feel.myself being blessed that You reacted! Thank you, Matteo. You know, I m just an old amateur player but since I ve heard ur Chicken version, I knew that you were doing a kinda revolution in here, also with your 'fusionic' attitude. You are very very open minded and educated either, not only a great skill player. You influenced me to practice more without a pick.
Can you poin out of the differences your and Joe Pass" finger picking?
Matteo, I think you are the greatest modern guitar player.
Regardless of your staggering abilities, it is your beautifully musical spirit which is moving to behold.
Matteo sei semplicemente fantastico. E permettimi un po'di campanilismo. Orgoglo siciliano. Come lo era di origine il grandissimo Frank Zappa. Complimenti.
im from Brazil and I could understand all that u said man, u have a good English. and the answers were very good, straight to the point. This video is an excellent footage of your workshop.
Don't ever feel embarrassed by your level of English. Your English is great! You are completely understandable and can discuss guitar playing in depth with confidence. By the way, you've got some lightning fingers!!
Been watching this young guy come up. He is going to introduce guitar playing on a new level to a new world.
Exactly what I think..
I agree with this too. he is pioneering.
@Viral Virus I went to.listen to him as u suggested. The guy has perfect picking technique. But for me kinda that s all. Iistened him playing Giant steps by Coltrane. ua-cam.com/video/45Iq5dK1cZA/v-deo.html
He is doing scales all the way up and down without any interesting melodical or rhythmical thought. Govan maybe 'slower' but his play is more intellectual and play/joyful. So he has nothing any jazzy in his soul. That would need a different base, different breathing that he seemingly lacks of
Maybe...but only guitar players will care.
Not really. He just plays like Jason Becker. Its been done before. Not new.
We are witnessing the future of the guitar. His technique is very well thought out (economy of motion) but his understanding of music at a young age is mind blowing.
WHO you are ?? This what doing and talk is awesome highest level od guitar ❤
this guy has it all... already a master at such a young age and what's more is he's a decent human being.
Matteo is so good, I just laugh at how mind blowing easy at how he make things appear. Any style...any speed...phrasing from Heaven. Hope to meet you one day my man. I've met Guthrie when he was in the states. The two of you no one can explain!
Yes both him Mancuso and Guthry are up there in not only the frontrunners in tecnical ability ..but they use it well musically! Very good musicians and then guitarists!!!!
I had tears in my eyes watching this. It's like when you realize The Beatles are the best at making songs you love. This guy, Matteo, has a talent like few on this planet.
Generational talent like Jacob Collier.
Talent means, total dedication and endless hours of playing.
A good ear helps of course
Probably the best player on this planet right now. Simply incredible.
Why? What makes him to be the best?
@@TheWhaddeva Al di Meola raves about this guy. I think enough said.
@@TheWhaddeva technique
There is no best
He is a good player
I’d take out the “probably” part.
And again, the really good ones are humble.
This guy is going to set the bar to a level that has never been seen before.He is beyond anything that has EVER existed in regards to guitar playing.His knowledge of the fretboard and his applied theory is incredible.His right and left hand technique is that of an absolute prodigy.I have watched guitar players from the last fifty years and they can not be compared to this young man.
There used to be this guy, Holdsworth, check him out.
@@anidemolimacnauj
Beat me to it
...and there's a new kid on the block called *Max Ostro* from Russia. He just might stop some folks from speaking in absolutes...
He needs to put out some original material (much more) to be considered on a par with Guitarists like Holdsworth, Lane and Gambale.
@@anidemolimacnauj it's so useless to always make comparations lik that. Holdsworth is the past and he's gone, Mancuso is young and he's the present and the future and that's important.
You don't have to correct yourself. You are a very humble person. We're all trying to figure out how you stay so humble being the greatest guitarist on this planet. Matteo, you really are and have set a super high level in this time where guitarist have really pushed the limits of the instrument. God Bless Brother!
He is The Guitar Jesus
I'm an advanced player and I can't believe how good he is. I've never seen anybody have command of the fretboard like he has. There are so many different styles but overall he is just a prodigy. He's on the level as Liszt was on the piano and I'm serious about that statement - I stand by it!
To Matteo, something like "Eruption" is a given -- a basic building block. It is what, for example, the intro-lick to Johnny B. Goode would have have been to an earlier generation of players -- something that is taken for granted, and you build from there. What to us was a goal (like Eruption), is just a starting point for him. He is the absolute future of guitar -- bravo!!
I mean, Eruption is from 1978 - it has been a mere building block to generations of players already.
@@biscobisco1882 LoL. Yeah as much as I appreciate people recognizing matteus.. there's also a lot of other great guitar players coming up. Jakub Zytecki comes to mind, as well as Charles Caswell of Berried Alive.
Fluid! So incredibly fluid! They are no longer notes, they become words, expressions even.
Matteo has simply demonstrated that when playing his guitar 🎸 that there are so many more levels that exist and are humanly possible...
You see so many big names out there, so called "guitar gods" in the media...
Then so take one listen to this kind soul Matteo, and realize that he IS an overwhelmingly incredible guitar player...
Put it this way, the gods look up to him!!!!!!
Simply fantabulous, and probably a
"One and only" as we know it!!!!!!!!
Matteo, my hat goes off to you my friend. A big hello from Spain 👍
Note also the correct italian pronounce of Gambale.
The pronounce is Frank Gambalee ( Frank himself is pronouncing it in that way)
@@ValerioBettini the surname is italian and so must be pronounced like Matteo have done.
Frank pronounce that way because he adapted to the contest living in Australia and Usa. But it's like if your name is Smith and someone pronounce Smooth or even worse.
@@Windof understand the Italian origin, but with due respect, my surname is pronounced as I pronounce it, hence I'd follow Gambale the man himself on that! Anyway, it doesn't really matter. Let's enjoy both Mancuso and Gambale!😊
@@ValerioBettini as far as I know nobody can decide the pronunce of a existing name. There is only the correct and the wrong one.
Anyway this thing's happens and if Gambale is happy we are happy too.
He has the greatest technique I’ve ever seen.
U r not alone with this fact:)
Right...I’ve only been playing and following guitarists for forty years, dumb ass.
@Viral Virus Those guys are great technical players, but this Italian kid is just a different type of beast. He's unbelievably musical and his timing is DEAD ON regardless of tempo. I've been listening to the greats for 45 years and Matteo's technique just seems unlimited right now. He might be a freak of Davinci proportions, we'll have to wait and see.
@Viral Virus I live near Marshall and he's one of the greatest technical players in the world. It doesn't change the fact this kid might be the greatest guitar prodigy since Django. But you probably don't know who that is.
@Viral Virus Calling Django Reinhardt "irrelevant"... Wow. Statements like that come off as remarkably ignorant. Understand he was profoundly influential to all the guitarists you've mentioned, not to mention guitar and music in general.
Incredible that at his young age he can give master classes to folks three times his senior. Matteo sei unico la Sicilia non e' solo mafia.
La Sicilia è anche Frank Zappa. C'è qualcosa di magico e potente in quella terra!
Si ma sarebbe anche ora di mandarla affanculo , la mafia, o no?
I was around Corsica, Sicilly and Sardegna like 20 years ago. These Mediterránean Islands have an AMAZING guitar tradition and dozens of amazing guitar players in the shelf. Hudge respect!
The Force is strong with this one!! ⚡️
Once on a while , from 0,5% of this planet ,will come someone to do something…better than anybody else in this world 🇮🇹❤️
The next stage in the evolution of the guitar.
Matteo has broken barriers that have held back the advancement of guitar technique for decades! His ability to not only play technically difficult passages and music is just part of it. His absolute mastery of the entire spectrum of music styles is staggering! The soul of this young man comes out in everything he plays.
Molto Bene!
Grazie Matteo! 👍
U know ,I m close to 50. But being under his impact I ve started to play without a pick.
@Fred Virtuoso it is not about 'only' virtuosity. Su Meng does NOT improvise. Just checked out her. She is a classic performer, at first glance I cant see any revolutionary in her playing. Not only different (and kinda only one) genres but different approaches of Music. She is good but not much to do with Matteo.
@Fred Virtuoso I am a pacifist. I like this Asian girl but I prefer to listen to Matteo's 'fragments' because for me it matches my 'World concept' better: the fusion.
@Fred Virtuoso I don't get ur points. 1. starting with an outsider/inproper argument which has nothing to do the basic conversation: "Asian girl" - yes she is? Are u searching for some PC talk? Ur addition "Italian boy" cant fit though: it should be "European guy" - but again, ur argument misleads. 2. If Matteo were US American he would be famous. Get it? That is why I like youtube so much because it helps us get to know many people (mostly) independently from the showbusiness makers and influencers.
3. I do not understand u r saying: "Matteo is a hack, studied other peoples music and sounds just like what he is in reality. Nothing original other than his fine technique which has limitations, although he seems to be so arrogant to think he's "
Does Su Meng play her own invented music? Again a lame argument, sorry. From the other hand: I do not care. The question is: do u like what u hear or don't. I like to hear both but the rhythmical breath and the fusional notes I hear from Matteo is more entertaining for me (it's like Life, random, dynamic, unpredictable) than the academic classical stuff from Meng.
4. Matteo is not arrogant, you are biased. From the other hand he himself commented this video saying sorry he did not judge Gambale, he just stated why he chooses his finger style instead of sweep picking - and u know what? He is right , there s no bad in this, he just said a physical fact which the advantage is of finger over sweap and vica-versa.
@Fred Virtuoso I wrote some lines but disappeared, unfortunately. Briefly, I think you are biased, I feel you are insulted, sorry for that. I am half Asian too but it has nothing to do with Music. Seng plays and follows classical music, it is difficult for me to explore her originality but u may help me to see the nuances of why she is one of the best interpreters. Does she play contemporary pieces? Being an amateur I listen to Ravel, Debussy bc they are easy to digest for me and I like their revolution over Bach's hegemony. I also love Bartok but still listen to a Telemann or a Brahms , of course Beethoven etc too. I also love Metheny, Scoefield. They were the supported mainstream, but now we have internet and can see there were an Allan Holdsworth , a Shawn Lane etc out there who were extremely good too.
Doesn’t get much better that that. Awesome video. Phenomenal playing. Thank you
This guy is the future of guitar.
No!
He's 27 and hasn't gotten any tattoos, been to rehab, dated a pornstar, broke up with band members. Slacker!
@@deHelliDon't cry. He's already the best
@@aroundtheworld1983_ Nöö
Insane...this guy just broke thorough another barrier I never knew existed
i really want to look in the face of the 60 people who dislikes this video...Matteo is the best guitar player we have in Italy and maybe in the world, and im not talkin about "speed" but knowledge, control, harmony , taste and attitude
".Matteo is the best guitar player we have in Italy '
Even more so than Daniele Gottardo another great Italian guitarist? Granted since he is living in California now, I guess he isn't in Italy
Il grosso problema degli Italiani (alcuni) e che invece di supportare un ragazzo eccezionale come lui, qualcuno con molta meno peparazione, si permette di criticare il suo incredibile lavoro.
In piu' consigliere a qualcuno, di imparare un po' di inglese se non capisce quello che dice, perhce' ho letto qui sotto affermazioni fuori dal mondo.
Matteo continua cosi' a fai bella musica.
That's right
...e il problema dell'italia è che in radio NON si sentono questi fenomeni.....sentiamo solo immondizia confezionata da programmi di bassissimo livello (e non faccio nomi). In questo momento in italia regna la trap e le canzoncine demenziali, se accendi la radio, mediamente, ti viene da piangere.....è scandaloso. Grandissimo Matteo, sei un fenomeno.
Sono dei poveracci, questo ragazzo è uno di quei fuoriclasse che nascono ogni 30 anni, un messi della chitarra. L'inglese tutti lo possono imparare, anche in breve tempo, ma per padroneggiare la chitarra come fa Matteo non basta la pratica, serve un dono.
@@thecontrabband9773 scusami eh? il ragazzo sara' bravissimo.. ma cosa vuoi sentire in radio.. lui che suona sul divano? ahahhaahahah dov'e la sua musica e il suo sound? quando uscirono holdsworth o metheny o van halen etc etc li avevi visti suonare in cucina o sul letto? siamo seri dai
@@michaelciancetta6397 ......è una questione di cultura.
Negli anni 70 in radio passavano quelli che hanno lasciato un'impronta nella storia della musica, come l'uomo sulla luna. Oggi accendiamo la radio (per dire) e chi sarebbe che lascerà un'impronta nella storia della musica?...chi ci fà venire la pelle d'oca?......quelli che stanno martellando il poppetto inglese pseudo rocchetto fighetto?....quelli che suonano e cantano tutti uguale?....quelli che scrivono testi che a leggerli casco dalla sedia?.......perchè questo c'è in onda. Comunque, si, può darsi che il ragazzo Matteo Mancuso non abbia un suo repertorio, può darsi che non abbia "il sound".....ma dubito che il suo scopo oggi sia la ricerca del sound. In sostanza, quello che intendo dire, secondo me, è che non c'è piu musica in radio. Solo business da canzonette e gruppetti bellissimimissimi. Comunque, prendendo spunto dal tuo commento (che per certi versi è anche giusto), dai: speriamo che anche Mancuso ci regali tanta musica scritta da lui, con un sound direttamente proporzionale alle sue capacità.
Matteo - you are so brilliant it is hard to describe- thank you for being so humble and real 🙏 - keep playing for us please !!! Yo7 are so inspirational !!
La storia della musica, genere dopo genere, è stata sempre abitata dalla sfida tra: tecnica, virtuosismo, quantità, espedienti formali, destrezza, velocità ecc. da una parte; e dall'altra: idea, contenuto, qualità, carattere, personalità, originalità, stile, essenza ecc. C' è chi ha dalla sua esercizio e numeri e poi chi ha gusto e personalità; chi esegue con precisione e chi interpreta con trasporto; alcuni sono interessati al come ed altri al che cosa... Ce n'è per tutti: tradizionalisti e innovatori; questi due approcci opposti, senza volerlo, hanno sempre collaborato. Un saluto a tutti.
I haven't seen anyone as good as this since Holdsworth! Can't wait to listen and watch and learn as he evolves and grows!
Check out this Russian kid (younger than Matteo) called Max Ostro...really check him out.
I've seen allan holdsworth 5 or 6 times with multiple bands and he would even be impressed if he was still with us.
Finally someone making sense….we can only hope he gets there. I doubt it so. Allan did not have the attention this poor kid does and that allowed Allan to be free.
Spicy meatballs!!!
Matteo Mancuso makes me proud to be italian and to play guitar, i know for sure we'll see him one day amongst the big ones of music
Paramount, without question, Matteo's skills are over and above and beyond ! Grazie Matteo for inspiring so many world wide. I will keep listening and following. Pro Musician Toronto, Ontario Canada
i just wish age doesnt bring his spectacular technique down, and hopefully his musicality progresses even more along with his already Godlike finesse and control. hes still particularly young, maybe 2-3 decades of active playing. God, dont take this man from us yet!!! we need him to explore and reach certain realms left undiscovered and have him share the knowledge!
Ti ho visto a Torino, nonostante non sia un amante della tecnica estrema siete stati tutti e tre lettarlmente IMPRESSIONANTI! Complimenti davvero!
Seeing this in context, if you think of the 19th century virtuosos we had Paganini (violin), Giuliani (guitar) and Liszt (Piano) who accentuated the importance of arpeggios, albeit as a dinner party method of titilation and getting concert engadgements. Piano composer's such as Rachmaninoff blew the whole enchilada open. Then in jazz, violinist Grappelli did that thing, followed by Coltrane. By that time we had guitarist Andres Segovia telling his students to play scales and arpeggios two hours per pay; and remember Villa-Lobos explored some very interesting arpeggio patterns in his Douze Etudes. The flamenco guys had always ripped it up, especially with the developments made by Paco De Lucia. We also had the ultra-sophisticated Allan Holdsworth followed by a rather crude but effective Malmsteen. The late 1980s spawned a host of metal sweepers. I notice that some of Mancuso's arpeggios employs consecutive fourths and fifths, which is very Chick Corea. The convenience is that the string tuning easily allows for such patterns; whilst for a very long time, arguments have raged as to if fingerpicking has often proven to be superiour to that of the plectrum. But the fact that both plectrum and fingers are different, it would be a boring world if we all played the same. Thanks for posting! Best regards, Dale Harris
Liszt:) well said anyway
Attila Lemy -YmeL lol. Never data input on a phone!!!
@@EverythingGuitar23 :))
a momentous Malmsteen actually.
liszt had amazing arpeggios as well. im afraid very little is known among guitar players of the vast and superior work of the classical realm that exists still today.
Thing is, theres no need to actually think so futher and so out of the box when it comes to play guitar with a fairly stylish chops, just look at the sound and timbre, the attack and common main phrasing off other instruments, especially from different styles. My current goal is to do koto, bandoneon and lute inspired licks without tunning different or applying quirks on the guitar, the guitarist s hand skills arent done yet in my book. There s more to learn about how to squeeze sounds out off guitar with our hands, i think. Good thing Matteo s a preeminent example of all this eye opener fact by now.
This man is something different I glad I lived long enough to see real changes in the instrument.
I've been playing guitar over 50 yrs - acoustic & electric - all genres, & I know a lot about many many guitarist - from all genres - known & unknown, ( to musicians, & then the public at large ) . There exist , currently - on youtube , whether their own channel's, or they were, recorded on someone else's, channel & uploaded , - the most talented virtusio's, that I have ever heard & seen, But- this young man, Thus Far, is the best, in any & all styles) genres , that I have discovered/found.
I m wondering how many of us have started to try to play without a pick
He has a amazing talent I have never seen a better player
I have his name is the Late Great Arthur Rhames he was doing similar things on the guitar, he also was just as proficient playing piano his 1st instrument as well as Saxophone Wikipedia his name
Setting the bar ever so high. Matteo is leading the way!!! Genius and innovater!
Holy smokes, this guys is amazing in a next level kind of way. I love the ease w/which he plays and speaks about the different styles and the technicalities -also w/out much ego at all.
This guy is amazing. God-given talent, IMHO.
Ya he just picked it up and started playing like that. 😂 it’s called 10,000 hours.
Hey Mr MM, you are in a different league of elite, a one of a kind path breaking type of guitarist like Stanley Jordan. It is such delight for the eyes to see your right hand finger movements which are so fluid n easy effortless that leaves me in total awe. You, Wes Montgomery, Jeff Beck, Mark Knoffler have defined fingerstyle of playing in your own unique way. You are a true genius. Hatts off.
There are many amazing guitarists around the world, and we have Matteo Mancuso!
This is definitely insane, I've been playing guitar since the 60's, seen the best, i.e. Frank Gambale, George Benson, Lee Ritenour, Mateo Asato and so on, but this Matteo takes it up a number of notches, bar none, he could easily play with Chick Corea, would love to see that!
Chick's had some great guitar players [my fav. was Bill Connors]. I agree; I'd love to see this guy play with him. I'd actually watch him in any setting.
I've never seen anyone better.
he is marvelous
@@MrMjp58 Yeah, Bill Connors was my favorite from Return to Forever.
This is nice also.

I think Frank Gambale is one of the 4 great innovators we have had. Jimi, Edward, Allan Holdsworth and Frank Gambale.
Innovators? Of what?Sweep picking? Gambale is one boring, mechanical player. Highly overrated
Along with Shawn Lane

What an ignorant comment
@@jeromestavrosyeo I guess that's why the Great Chick Corea chose him 🙄

I think all these people talking about Gambale don’t really spend much time listening to him. He’s like Steve Vai. So good, but his songs really let him down. Who spends a lot of time listening to these guys ? Nobody
The last time someone impressed me this much was seeing Johnny Hiland's playing. This man is definitely serious business.

Grande tecnica e velocità, probabilmente uno dei migliori in questo settore. Probabilmente è soggettivo, penso che non sempre il virtuosismo funambolico sforni musica piacevole all'orecchio
Che pensiero straordinariamente originale...
Sei un concentrato di tecnica e di cuore... grazie davvero per tutte le belle emozioni che regali a noi tutti...
This guy basically has 5 picks on his right hand. Amazing.
Everybody does he just uses them 😂
It's amazing until you need to play fast tremolo on a single string. Good luck with that. That's probably the hardest thing on finger style guitar.
Thanks Matteo for explaining the importance of fingers to everybody!
Greetings from New Orleans Matteo ! You’ve changed the game my friend. Bravo !
Truly a gifted player! He is not only "next level" but stack another level on that last level!
I love how he’s calling out what Frank can’t do yet it’s very respectful.
Just on another level completely- absolutely awe inspiring
This young man has the ability to change how everyone approaches the electric guitar. If he could just break out and become as famous as he deserves to be. He really is on a level with Eddie Van Halen, Steve Vai and Yngwie Malmsteen and even Jimi Hendrix. He’s a virtuoso with a new way to approach the instrument that can influence millions of future players.
He is FAAAAR beyond those mentioned
From Chile I really enjoy your work. Long live Mancuso. Make a band with Max Ostro. Its gonna be fun. For a cool time
love his tevhnique, learning it myself combining with classical guitar techniques on my electric guitar
Very good! If you will reach this objective, you will be a very great guitarist! In last 5 or 6 years, when MM becomes world famous, nobody do it. No one plays his way, because his right hand technique is actually UNIQUE IN THE WORLD, combining bass guitar with classical guitar
He gave me the same feeling that I had when I first saw Lio Messi. This kid is one in a generation. This is the Lio Messi of music.
Nothing beats being yourself and listening to what you like
He brings guitar on completely new level, this technique with fingers in electric guitar is unbelievable, accurate tones at that speed unseen till now. Everything sounds perfect as need to be. No hearing of pick action as we used to it... Amazing. The guy is guitar Mozzart

When I was in my teens in the mid 1970s, you had all the fast Fusion players like John McLaughlin and Al Di Meola with their quick picking, and sure, I wanted to play fast like that too.
But I absolutely sucked at picking.
Then I heard Allan Holdsworth, who had a whole unique sound that was like nobody else.
So I started doing more of a legato approach with the left hand with very little right hand picking.
After a while I just stopped using picks entirely, and started using more of a hyper picking technique with my thumb and 3 fingers.
It sounds great! Can I have a link how u pick the guitar?
@@ymelfilm Sorry, but I don't have any instructional videos on UA-cam.
@@dcuss7294 no need instruction video, only a short excerpt howu play

Are you sure? Better than the man in black!
Next Level talent right there thats for sure..... Going to use my guitar as a coffee table from now on...
Impresionante !!!el mejor guitarrista completo con esa técnica de digitación única
Hammers from nowhere every time you hear him playing
Still amazing years later
Matteo you and that finger style Rock. So clean. melodic.
Fast and fluid, great (speedy) vibrato especially on 5th and 6th strings, octave jumping/tapping all at different levels. Great musical mind.
I watch him every day , and I have no words to say about him. He swallow all the best techniques of how the lead is played. he is my real amusement now, sorry.. Bruno mars, please you sing in mars
Great attitude!
Good grief, some of these comments are absolutely idiotic!!! This guy is technically amazing and I guarantee he is way more musical than anyone commenting here.
??? I am reading nothing but good comments here ???
When I wrote that comment there were a couple comments at the top saying something about him playing a bunch of scales with no musicality. I hate that YT doesn't automatically show comments in order, makes a lot of comments look very out of context!
Things you will NEVER hear Mancuso say:
"Where's my favourite pick?! I can't go on without my favourite pick!!!"
Whoever is commenting about it not being "musical enough" and "just technical prowess" is completely missing the point of this video and this interview. I'm all about melody as well but it's not a freaking crime to talk technique and thank God we have such gifted players like Matteo. The fact that I maybe wouldn't listen to his album is a completely different matter and doesn't take anything away from his incredible preparation.
Well said.
Absolutely phenomenal player. So free
This young man is mind boggling! How does anyone achieve this level of technique, especially at this young age? That Yamaha is a sweet looking and sounding guitar!
It's not fair ! 😁
a bit of luck and bit of hard work, being born in the right family and having a dad who plays gipsy jazz helps a lot, but also starting to play at young age and being incline to learn fast is perhaps necessary as well
@@majortom9397 That makes sense ! There's another young prodigy Andreas Varaday who's dad is a musician etc.. and the kid was nailing George Benson's stuff like it was nothing when he was 15 years old !
He's 23 now and phenomenal ..
Thom Ibarro is another young guitarist that's off the scale.. The future of guitar playing is in great hands.. Matteo is playing
Allan Holdsworth and Guthrie Govan stuff and he's just a puppy.. that's straight crazy !
@@Avatar7x7 yea i know, watching them makes me wonder what would have happened if i started learning guitar when i was little and took it more seriously, but its never too late, never give up
The recipe for a MM is a long list of styles mixed together so many hours a day for so many years with such wonderful ingredients as Alan Holdsworth, Eric Johnson, Frank Gambale, Malmsteen, Vai, Van Halen, Stanley Jordan, etc, plus an endless list of you tubers, then the classical greats Segovia, incorporated with a youngan born to musicians. It's alive, special and growing in popularity. As most of us are, Yamaha is also proud and thankful for MM.
Secondo il mio modesto parere, Matteo è un patrimonio dell'umanità....
So amazing to watch
complimenti dovuti...mase questo sa tutto di tutti ...come fa a sapere qualcosa di se??
Totally amazing talent!
Monster Player, dazzling technique. Lets see what he is able to achieve artistically and in his improvisational capacity.
I'm convinced you are not from earth, but its good you are here.
Finally..... someone that can make all the rock shredders cry and want to quit playing just like they made me back in the day
I would call it leading with the first finger versus leading with the tapping hand. I have been teaching this technique to students for 23 years. Learning to lead with all fingers makes you much more competent as a player than others.
This applies to both hands. Very similar to Paul Wardingham's use of it on a regular basis.
WHAT THIS GUY CAN DO WITH THE GUITAR IS JUST BEYOND BELIEF. I AM SURE THAT ANY GUITAR PLAYER ON THIS PLANET (INCLUDING THE GREATEST ONES) WOULD BE AFRAID TO SHARE THE STAGE WITH THIS GUY.
