Matteo Mancuso - amazing fingerpicked guitar

I find this guy’s technique absolutely amazing. I have never heard anyone play fingerstyle electric like this. Maybe he has flatwound strings because there is virtually no noise when he picks with his fingers. His phrasing and note choice are sick too!

What do you guys think?

Awesome, very impressive playing! We’ve got him added to our list of great players to potentially try to do something with in the future :slight_smile:

That would be incredible, this guy would be fascinating to study close up. Really, he’s the most technically impressive player I have seen in years.

Kind of a flamenco fingering technique applied to electric rock guitar.

Yeah, I read more into it and it’s called picado. It’s so impressive how he gets it sounding so clean with gain. I’m going to guess he’s not using a bunch of gain but, because he’s so accurate and smooth, it sounds like he’s using more.
