Matteo Mancuso Masterclass
Plus, an exciting Sound City plugin from UA
It’s been one heck of a week for me over here, as I spent most of it in Chicago. There hasn’t been a whole lot going on this week in the guitar world, but I didn’t want to leave you without any links for this week’s issue. We have a couple of videos from the incredible Matteo Mancuso, a tour announcement that has Vai and Satriani going back out on the road together in 2024, UA making waves with an upcoming Sound City Studios plugin, and a bunch more.
These are the few videos and stories I’ve been getting into when I’ve had a few minutes of free time. Is there anything awesome I missed this week? Let me know!
One last thing I wanted to run by all you awesome readers - I’ve been doing this newsletter for what seems like forever now. I’ve made a lot of changes to it over the years, and I’m always looking for ways to make it better. What would be the ideal newsletter that you’d like to read? I’ll never get rid of curating links and commenting on them, but I’ve played with different sections over the years (album recommendations, etc.) and want to bring some back in the future. Any comments are really appreciated!
