NAMM 2023: There's absolutely no doubt Matteo Mancuso is a rarified guitar talent. Every clip we see of him proves it – frightening right-hand technique just for starters. So we don't need an excuse to post this clip from the NAMM 2023 floor posted on YouTube by mikesgigtv of the young Sicilian demoing a Bacci baritone. 

You can subscribe to the Matteo Mancuso YouTube channel for more of his playing.
