Hi guys,
Are there any other players around that use that type of picado technique on electric guitar?
I’m sure many young players will soon begin appearing who have followed his example…
Maybe this might be the moment that the classical and electric guitars find common ground?
There are no top players currently who have the same technique as him in the electric world. He is very much unique at the moment.
Having said that, you’re bang on, there will be hundreds of young guitarists right now trying to mimic his way of playing, so we are in for a treat when they all get there 
Yes, I definitely forsee him having an effect.
I wonder if in the further future that the plectrum for electric guitar might almost vanish…like in classical/flamenco?
I don’t think that will happen because playing fingerstyle , especially like Mancuso, is incredibly difficult and takes an enormous amount of practice to get right. Meanwhile, the guitar pick has made the electric guitar possibly the easiest instrument to just get a half decent noise out of. That’s why it’s so popular. Grab a pick, whack the strings.
Instrument of the people! It’s rough and ready charm is why so many people play it.
You, I, and most people onthis forum are in the super technical, nerdy , and complex parts of guitar playing. Honestly we are all rather disconnected with the core of “open chords and strums away” mentality of most guitarists.
We will, for sure, see many shredders and technical players taking up fingers, but the pick does something that fingers just can’t, which is to allow just about anyone to make the guitar sound cool.
My two cents 
I don’t think you’ll get anyone sounding properly like this with their fingers, honestly.
Well there is, of course, this guy…(not Steve)
Steve Vai played both parts, Macchio mimicked it for the shoot.
I think you can even hear pick-scrapes on it.
