MATTEO MANCUSO
Guitar Techniques|April 2024
Charlie Griffiths takes a journey through the style of an Italian virtuoso who chooses classical guitar fingerstyle over other picking approaches.
MATTEO MANCUSO

Matteo Mancuso was born in Palermo, Sicily in 1996 and was immediately exposed to guitar playing through his father Vincenzo, who has been a

renowned session player since the 70s. Matteo started playing blues and rock, but his years at the Palermo Conservatory of Music helped him develop jazz knowledge and a classical fingerstyle technique that sets him apart from other players. His playing has gained the attention of guitarists such as Al Di Meola, Steve Vai and Tosin Abasi.
