A Tale Unfolds 
As one who does not seem to appreciate the same music as thou, please explain to me why you consider it “jaw-dropping.” I admit the guitar works does seem quite accomplished, but again … what makes it jaw-dropping?

The skill required to play the electric guitar in this fashion with the fingers as opposed to a guitar pick is on another level altogether.
Mancusso has a backgeround in classical guitar, but he plays across several genres, using this technique.
The precision and control he exerts. coupled with interpretation is why I consider this jaw dropping.
And the other two musicians are top notch as well. And all so young! Mancusso is only around 24!
When I hear people say Eric Clapton is a great guitarist I simply shake my head.

Had an email from John Z. He is fine, mobile and on the mend.
Thought you’d like to know.

Does he compose, as well?
Virtuosi are well and good, but there are a great many of them, all the same. Not so many great composers and songwriters, these days.

I haven’t heard anything he has composed yet, but I believe he is working on an album.
