Matteo Mancuso & Eric Gales
Matteo Mancuso
Biography: Matteo Mancuso is an Italian guitar virtuoso from Palermo, Sicily, internationally acclaimed for his unprecedented fingerstyle technique. Without using a pick, he achieves a clean, fluid legato and lightning-fast articulation that resembles a horn or keyboard player rather than a traditional guitarist. Praised by legends like Steve Vai and Joe Bonamassa, he has redefined modern jazz fusion and rock guitar.
