    Max is a one in a millennium player. Meaning, I believe he is one in 5 billion of a player …truly is. The world has never, ever seen what Max is doing on the guitar. Period. Max is not playing frets, he is iceskating on them. Max is not playing scales he is digging out, Turns, come around, corner fillers, middle note runs and many, many other things previously, unseen, nor heard on the guitar. One could write a whole thesis on what he’s doing. Max is the max!

      In my humble opinion, you exalted him too much. Max Ostro is very good at legato but nothing more. I didn't feel any emotion transmitted. Just an ordinary guitar player very good at legato and fluidity but very similar to Tom Quayle albeit at a lower level than Tom..

    What I love with the develpment of Shredding over the years/decades is, that today a standard is reached, where it´s embedded in melodic concepts and it breathes. You don´t have to listen to a deafening load of notes but to a flow with distinct articulation.
    The first time I heard such a playstyle was Shawn Lane with Jonas Hellborg and Jeff Sipe. Pure beauty and... yes, empathy and love in his constant flows of conscious. Max here reminds me of that. He is navigating so effortlessly through the chords/keys like it is his natural form of expression - no need to add words (loving the backing track too!).
    btw... he doesn´t have a whammy bar and creates the effect only with the tone controllers. Are they modified to bending notes? Just curious.

    I would highly recommend people go find his interviews/questions and you find that people ask him things like " what shows are you watching " or " what are your favorite movies " or " do you do anything else other than guitar as a hobby? " and you will realize that Max lives, breaths music and his guitar, he doesn't make time for anything other than his guitar, he deserves to be where he his, he definitely deserves his own signature model, and whom ever he chooses, people will flock to him and his guitar.
    I would recommend Stratele to review Matteo Mancuso, he is also within the same vein of Max Ostro, Imagine a dual or collaboration with both of them would legit break the internet and guitar community.

      Max has such an incredible range of influences at such a young age. Definitely takes huge inspiration from Ron Thal, and also players like Shawn Lane (in some of his videos with less legato and more picking, you can really hear it), Guthrie Govan, Buckethead, and a sprinkle of Holdsworth. I still can’t believe he’s still a teenager, it’s gonna be incredible to see where he’s at in just a few years, one of the best in the world.
