Genius. Doesn't get more natural than this. I sincerely hope the best for this young man, he deserves every success.

Hears it all in his head, all just feeling the groove. Love it , thanks

the effortless technicality applied to everything he plays, makes the simple complex to play but butter to hear. hes always rolling off/on his tone knob for different phrases. seriously, its that attention to detail most guitarists will never incorporate. this is what separates the 5%. this kid will shine on any guitar he picks up and will be extremely easy to work with in studios and on stage. an engineers dream lol.

This still never gets old! Still groovin in 2024 😂🤘🏻

I love watching this guy! He is so unaffected! I love you Max Ostro!

I am starting to think that the guitar is actually a specialized body part that Max was born with. It also seems that music is his 1st language which he is capable of communicating anything at any time with. It is rare to see anyone play so well and make it look so completely effortless and natural. It is like watching someone turn off their brain and having his subconscious take over and have amazingly intricate, unique and melodic phrases just come out one after another. There have been lots of players in the past and currently that have what most would consider world class talent. Max is easily in that that club but I think he belongs in a class above the majority of those players. I can't imagine what kind of player Max will be with 5, 10, 20+ more years of progression but I can't wait to see!

Can't stop listening to these three jams. There a so many 80s vibes in this songs, really interesting type of genre. It's a lot of fun to watch you play.
