Marty and Matteo

[lester]

This is a holy fuck

 

[Devin]

I remember first coming across Matteo's old youtube vids in his bedroom with the SG way back when and instantly recognizing dude was gonna be huge


What a fuckin talent

 

[VonBonfire]

That was cool. Didn't realize Paul Stanley had those kind of chops. Not just shred but musical instead on both guy's parts.

 

[bennyslo]

Fuck , that was a really good listen. Both insane musicians and that solo from Marty was chefs kiss , amazing

 

[SgtThump]

Damnit! I was hoping for Marty Schwartz…

 

[eero]

Matteo is the complete opposite of the guys in poliphia...so musical

 

[skoora]

This is a holy fuck

But where’s the part where the hydraulic arm smashes into their balls……”Nutcracker!!”

I like both but Marty’s style just kills me.

Can’t think of a single song that this Matteo guy has been involved in. Cool, he doesn’t use a pick!

I’ve been in the past a huge fan of advanced guitar players, with someone like Shawn Lane for example he wrote some great music. I just haven’t found anyone like that yet with the YouTube era.

i dont know how to describe it.. i watch guys like Matteo and Oslo, and while they are incredible and i enjoy watching their short vids, im never compelled to go back and watch again.

beautiful

Marty injects real heart into what he’s playing and it shows. I don’t think he cares about being technically more of a wow factor than the guy next to him. He just wants to make music. Even when he was younger he was like this. I imagine only under the pressure of the young gun, Varney days did he feel competitive.
Matteo has technique but nothing he played melodically spoke to me. Not a contest though. He seems like a hell of a nice guy and I hate that he nullifies all my self pity about having short fingers. Guys who look like they can play it in their sleep bore me emotionally. They look like they’re thinking about if they have time to cook later or should order in, while they’re playing.

Another seemingly nice guy who’s ridiculously flawless, technically but rarely grabs me with what he plays is that English kid, Chris Buck. All my fav’s can clam a little or really dance on the edge of falling apart but this new school of perfection and a note never out of place, just doesn’t engage me beyond 30 seconds of “wow, he’s really good”.

Agreed, especially with the bit about Chris Buck. Seems like a good chap and he is a good musician. Though perhaps not in the same league as Marty or Matteo, which is no slight as not many are.

I could care less what he injects...the light that came out of Matteo was obvious, Marty has done better, this was just not his best expression.
