This Guitarist is SHOCKING Pro Players 🤯

By definition it's not often we come across once in a generation guitarists. Shawn Lane and Allan Holdsworth were probably the most notable. Now there is Matteo Mancuso. Leaving pro players agast with his incredible playing style, more versatile than a swiss army knife and with phrasing that would melt a stone cold heart.

In this video we look at some reactions to Matteo's playing as well as some of his best clips. The guy is frighteningly good. His new album "Moonlight" is out with his band DriftLab, check it out below:

His speed is excellent, but its the thing I notice least in his playing. His phrasing is entirely unique, and ever evolving. I would describe his playing as lyrically melodic. Astounding talent. Truly astonishing

[vstpluginsonicxtc]

This kid gives me the same feeling as when I first saw and heard Stanley Jordan. Just an unreal command of the instrument in a unique different way that is melodically musical (jazz, r&b, and fusion type style) and technically gifted. Fantastic player.

[johnkk]

I was lucky enough to meet him and even have a drink with him and his band after they played a show in Ireland . He is such a lovely kid so humble . Yes he is the future.

[ricky]

its like damn this guy is a crazy shredder and rock fusion guitarist, and then he proceeds to also be a better country guitarist than every country artist out there

[termsofusepolice]

Matteo is so much more musical than many of the young shredders on the scene today. That alone, apart from his supreme technical mastery, sets him apart.

[BeachJazzMusic]

Probably the best guitarist out right now and I don't say that lightly. It doesn't matter what style he plays, it's always brilliant.

[ShreddFly]

I've been playing guitar for over 35 years. This is the first time I've seen him, and my jaw just hit the floor. Wow!!! It's not just his technique, . Incredible phrasing too.

[showingYOUtheworld]

My opinion as a professional musician:
This is insane in the BEST possible way ❗
EVERYTHING is unique about Matteo and imagine this, he is in the beginning of his career !!!
Matteo, I really don't want to sound fatalistic, but DON'T die man 🍀
You have A LOT TO GIVE to our world 👍❕
RESPECT ❗❗❗

[amniote]

Kudos to you for featuring Mateo. He's not just technical, he brings style and feeling.

[pocewar]

Mind blowing versatility, technique, cleanliness, virtuosity, phrasing, maturity way beyond his age… there are many young great, really great players out there… but Matteo stands out definitely.

[KevinToine]

It's not only his playing but also his goddamn tone that blows me away.

[MrGunwitch]

Phenomenal player, chops, tone, melody...he's the total package.

[cyclistman]

His right hand technique. OMG!!!! That’s what makes him so unique and enables the incredible left hand lines. Truly an evolutionary step in guitar playing.

[stacyconaway]

I can't stop smiling listening to this kid rip like that. Crazy good!

[TheMirrorify]

His ability to rip through those fast runs like liquid yet still remain musical reminds me a bit of prime Eric Johnson. Fantastic.

[jaykarahan]

As an aficionado of good guitar playing and student of music theory and composition at university, I am astonished by this amazing young and bright talent. I was totally floored back in 1971 when I discovered British guitar phenom John McLaughlin (after being initially introduced to Page, Beck, Clapton and Hendrix), but after hearing this highlight reel of Matteo I’m back on the floor again and struggling to get back up to catch my breath! This young artist has nowhere to go but up, and there are few out there now who come close to his mastery over theory, fretboard knowledge, various styles, phrasing, acute sense of the music around him (pocket sense?) and most important, musicality. I hesitate to compare MM to anyone alive or passed, but I’m looking for some gravity and center here in trying understanding his unique approach to the instrument and idea execution: I start with Larry Carlton, probably one of the greatest masters of clean, melodic phrasing ever, and add Guthrie Govan for shear effortlessness, virtuosity and imagination. Surely with the Flamenco training MM has had he has now expanded the instrument to a full two-handed standard that few will be able to emulate. My question: has MM begun to explore world music and other theories of music as McLaughlin has? I hope he will as I see music as a universal language for him to access and utilize with theories from this wider universe. It would almost be too much to ask for!

[andrewbroughton]

I like the fact that He masterfully encompasses so many different styles .
Such an inspiration.Incredible Musicianship.

[Chris_Traynor]

As a melodic fingerstyle guy I love the last clip. Perfect amount of shred. Not distracting but just enough to embellish a gorgeous melody

[davexxx]

Matteo Mancuso is totally amazing! Awesome talent with no doubt!
Incredible phrasing and technique.
I saw an interview in Italy and he's also a very nice person and... very very humble.

[shackfighter]

Saw him with his trio live in Sacramento 10 days ago. The show was amazing...and he did an unbelievable Jeff Beck cover. Played entirely new solos over his own compositions from his album. He's the real deal. Truly exciting player. Can't wait to see what the future holds for him.
