Matteo Mancuso

$29.98

Sicilian guitarist Matteo Mancuso emerged as a global force with his 2023 debut The Journey, hailed as one of the most acclaimed instrumental guitar albums of it's generation and drawing comparisons to icons such as Steve Vai, Pat Metheny, and Guthrie Govan. Renowned for his astonishing fingerstyle technique, melodic sophistication, and fearless improvisa-tion, Mancuso has earned praise from legends including Joe Bonamassa, Tosin Abasi, and Al Di Meola, who described his playing as "light years ahead." Now, with his second solo album Route 96, Mancuso delivers a more confident, expansive statement-showcasing a mature, forward-thinking artist redefining modern guitar virtuosity.
