Matteo Mancuso is an Italian guitarist from Palermo, Sicily. His dazzling playing crosses a variety of styles but primarily expresses itself in jazz, fusion, and rock. He has been playing professionally since age 12, and later attended and graduated from the Palermo Conservatory of Music with a degree in jazz guitar studies. Mancuso plays an electric Yamaha Revstar RS720B, and he eschews a pick in favor of stroking the instrument's strings with his index finger and using his middle finger to pluck them in a manner akin to the method of classical guitarists. His debut album, The Journey, was released in July 2023.
