Another Matteo Mancuso rant
Listening to Matteo play is awesome, especially when WATCHING him on YT. He has been inspired by many greats throughout his career, and his newest rendition of "Fred" (Allan Holdsworth Cover) is worth it. His comrades on bass and drums are also so on point. There are other great performances as well. Enjoy! MrD.
Sure, he is great. My only problem is, there are other modern fusion guitarists, that are just as good, if not better, that seem to remain in relative obscurity. Not sure why he is all that is being talked about as the "next coming" of fusion guitarists. Alex Machacek Richard Hallebeek Evgeny Pobozhiy Jan Zehrfeld Dewa Budjana David Gilmore (not that David Gilmour) Feodor Dosumov Just to name a few. |
@simonmoon I agree as there are many fine guitarists, such as those that you mention, as well as many from our past. Many of my contacts in this industry are musicians, many are guitar players (I am not, I was a vocalist), as we all feel Mancuso is a step above the rest. You are entitled to your opinion, which is awesome that you have one. At least you responded to my thread, which I am very appreciative of. My best, MrD. |
