Tom Quayle - Spain (Guitar Cover: Max Ostro) 

Couldn't agree more.

Dude has no jazz chops and vocabulary at all. A rock player with a clean robotic technique but no musicality. A inferior wannabe guthrie govan but without the musicality of govan. He isnt even in the same realm and based on his phrasing he never will be. His fanboys obviously dont even understand jazz and just see "wow he plays so fast and his technique for his age... He must be the new guthrie govan". Lol, but they dont even understand guthries playing. Type in "guthrie govan spain balawan" and see how its done. This is a disgrace to chick coreas spain. Just a little rocker boy trying to be like guthrie amd trying to play jazz. Btw... Matteo is 1000 times more musical than this little robot kid with no musical vocabulary

Yes they are but hopefully they don't fade into the jazz niche.

@@COTG666I’ve definitely seen them both branch out as of recent (like Max’s neo-soul playing in some recent videos), but I think jazz/fusion suits both players the best. They have unreal improvisational skills that would go insanely underutilized in most other genres. I hope they do what Guthrie did and play a wide/diverse array of musical styles. But wherever they decide to go with their careers, I’ll be incredibly excited :)

Absolutely agree with you.... He has proven he can easily play outstandingly well tunes from well known rock shredders as Paul Gilbert, Yngwie and many others... but listening to this demonstrates a maturity way beyond pure shredding... I guess he will dive more into jazz in the near future... he will develop into an even bigger monster very soon...

Those broken up staccato lines are so crazy right?! I feel like people really don’t understand how rhythmically demanding that actually is. I’m mean I can legato all day now after years of practice but staccato o still struggle with at those higher speeds.

Exactly, it's those subtleties that really separate an intermediate from an expert player. Unfortunately they will go mostly unnoticed to the untrained ear.

@@liam_flag to the untrained ear? Hahaha dude... All of his fanboys have untrained ears. Study jazz amd tell me that this dude played well on chick coreas spain. Not a single jazz guitarist would like this shitty solo

Genuinely one of the best guitarists I’ve ever seen and I find it hard to say given that he’s just 16. The inner me wants to almost believe that max is faking it somehow just so he doesn’t embarrass my heroes 😂 Even without looking at his age he’s a scarily high level player, then you remember he’s 16 it’s just incredible

you trully know what you are talkin about

I...agree...

@@alexjackson8841 No hero would be embarrassed by him...

he got locked in the basement and was fed only guitar picks through the cracks for sustenance.

Great shout! So seamless that it didn’t even occur to me as I watched it hahaha! Absolutely ridiculously amazing 🙌🏻

just wondering the same thing....amazing

Dude please help with 1:47 It's killin me...I'm so close.. Max.. Anyone please ✌

Kinda like an Eddie Nerd Halen haha

Agreed this can't get any better IMO

Cool that you noticed the Kahler too! I installed one on my guitar when I was young, some 30 years ago. It cost the same as the entire guitar which wasn't all that great (I should have used the money on a better guitar, anyway). The tremolo still looks exactly the same! I also have a guitar with the fulcrum model, they never disappointed.

So here we are discussing his appearance instead of talking about the music.

Bro he is nowhere as clean , accurate and an aggresive assaulter on the guitar as paul G an he will never be, PAUL was built different, this guy sweeps scarified licks instead of skipping it, He will never come any close to gibert, Gilbert beat the shit outta guitar war prodigies at 15 and won at the first place, when he was just 15 by 17 he was already accomplished and teaching at G.I.T, his alternate picking ferocity is unmatched , not to mention those guys played at dated instruments so not convenient like today's this kid uses tons of pedals and edits and prerecords everytime instead of recording live from amp, not only that gilbert played 8x tougher shit than this unlike these kids who play 8gauge strings.

He is fucking phenomenal and his hair is ... magNIficent!

ahahahahaha... not sure that anyone want's to "look" like him :) about the prodigy mechanical imitational capacities... well :) it's like many kids that have "problems" and are prodigies in multiplying any number by any number in seconds... so what? Ok ok you LOVE to watch him play, it's your right. In reality you might be Max's biggest jealous... but I think that about music (and about so maybe in so many other things) you have a huge misconception of it all in your head... (and I wouldn't even wish to look like and much less be jealous of this mechanical repetition machine) :D

@@paulobastos1774 Found the jealous dude that's disliking.

Tim Williams yep that was him, he sounds like every other online trollasshole (that’s a new word I’m trying out lol) talk about a mechanical repetition machine. Suck it Paulo Bastos!

@@paulobastos1774 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6S8OsJOP4Bw.html

with the equipment instruments and support that he has from his family..if we all have that nothing is impossible.

@@robotman7945 stop talking shit. If that was true, every rich guy who likes to play the guitar would be a Steve Vai.

@@robotman7945 I'm sure you mean well but without talent (God given)none of the other stuff matters.

@@robotman7945 no, just no.

Law stay + bruh. Young cat is smokin that fret board!!

😂👍 He could not get out during lockdown to get it cut

No time when you have to practice 40 hrs a day.

Hair is hair!

i think is part of his identity

80s back bro :D

You've got some filter, there

Oh yes people coming to terms with the fact that 10000 hours wont make them play close to this.

​@@horsemanoftheapocalapse5837Alas

I would be more interested what Frank Gambale thinks about it

' you wonderfully gifted prodigy you '.....why do this part remind me of Joe Pesci?

@@yangerjamir0906 🤓

make another youtube account and like it again that way

Ya still don’t play like this bro

He is 15 year old?

@@CTROCK 16 now... I could barely play guitar chords at his age!

cheers and Merry Christmas!

That’s exactly what I was thinking. Dude is like “Yeah. I did that. What? You can’t? Sorry bout ya. Hold my pick”.

I am absolutely with you. Impossible for humans.

Theres no aliens that can play a guitar

I agree with you. It´s not a matter of practicing. You can never do that in such a short time. He´s got it all already inside. Just remembering from his past life.

Something to do with Chernobyl?

@@Smudgie Chernobyl is in Ukraine.

@@user-ov5nd1fb7s Yeah, and everyone knows radiation can't travel.

@@SecondaryHomunculus The point is that i don't know where he lives in Russia and there could be up to 12 thousand kilometers between him and Ukraine :)

@@user-ov5nd1fb7s He lives in Irkutsk (Siberia). It is located about 4000 km from Ukraine.

Just has more practice. If you play for 2 hours a day you can do this in about 3-5 years

@@mirsidorov5112 sure, tell yourself that if it makes you feel better lol

Nice looking guitar; awesome looking hair man 🙂👍🏼

​@@mirsidorov5112 Regularity is one thing, time of pratice is another thing, but that's a few. Quality of practice is almost everything, and hearing, hearing, hearing and hearing again. Technical learning is worthless if it's learn by a deaf practicer ^^ Then, when we talk about acuracy, speed, there's no real generalities. With a same working, in 5 years, two guitarists will not be equal at the end. There is also the motivation aspect to observe ! Globaly, quality of hearing is everything. The rest come naturally. If you like the shredding, you will pass your time go slowly, and go faster by a 2 BPM increment to listen to you closely and sound good. If you like open sounds, spacefull, you will pass your time manipulate your effects etc. There's no rush, no 2 hours a day, no "5 years challenge". Playing guitar is a pure joy. If it's a joy just 1h a week, so enjoy fully this hour and you will progress. If it's a joy 12h a day, everyday, ok you probably going to progress faster, but it has to be a full joy as well ! This kid surely really enjoy his playtime, and have a golden hear. Nobody can say how many time he's playing a day, or since when.

@@mirsidorov5112 the hair alone will add another 5 years

He got a girlfriend.

Thx! That's a Somnium Vision R66

And that tone is the best!!!

You can't just throw them away, someone might find them. I'm breaking mine 😉

I've been saying this for years! Think about it "surfing with the Alien", "Alien Love Secrets" and don't forget the classic "Me and my guitar club were abducted and impregnated by aliens and told not to dress like a cool kid"!

UITATUBE I think we figured this kid out! I have copped a few of his licks, he’s very economical with his wrist and finger movements. I teach my students the same thing. That’s something that comes with good instruction as well as being a born virtuoso. His talent is really off the charts, I could play eruption when I was 15, but nowhere near this kids level.

@@DougCanney1 Doug do you have extra long fingers? Need to know as this is one of the tells of Alien abduction. Look at Gilbert, Vai, Becker etc (OK they got it wrong with Segovia). The grunge movement formed an anti alien abduction alliance (the reason for few solos) and momentarily fought off the abductions, however via RU-vid and Rocksmith they have found a way to digitally abduct!

Ostroface.

Resting axe face.

He is Tom Quayle’s spiritual son lol

Cuz he hasn’t found anything hard yet.

Lol i cant play without making stupid faces. I play with too much agression and emotion.

Ehm no... Dude has no jazz chops and vocabulary at all. A rock player with a clean robotic technique but no musicality. A inferior wannabe guthrie govan but without the musicality of govan. He isnt even in the same realm and based on his phrasing he never will be. His fanboys obviously dont even understand jazz and just see "wow he plays so fast and his technique for his age...

Not everybody can get past the hair.
