Matteo Mancuso (shred warning)

bingefeller

This guy has the most impressive technique I have seen of any rock guitarist in a long time, plus Dweezil Zappa wants to work with him.

I heard lots of notes but nay tunes. 
Hes gifted alright just not my bag.

Wow, never seen anyone use their fingers to pick like that before .... was he a frustrated bass player in a previous life ?

Over to you Troy, crack the code on that then

Not sure about bass, I'm guessing a strong classical background.

Interesting technique, looks like two finger I/M flamenco style picado finger picking.  Not seen an electric player pick do such a thing.

He plays jazz as well.



Superb Django work there.

How old is he?  Looks incredibly young.

I think he's probably mid to late teens.  The guy is so good it's mad.

Agree.

I can appreciate the ability to play the shred but it doesn't really appeal to my tastes, but the Django does.  His use of picado to play the arpeggios at 0.15 or so is a delight to watch/listen.

His technique is so clean too. He makes me sick

'kin hell - that's awesome. I think we should all collectively get our coats.

wow what a technician, impressive skills but the music does nowt for me at all.

Edit: just watched him playing cliffs of dover, very talented kid nailing a great tune
