MAX OSTRO or GUTHRIE GOVAN

Max Ostro, Guthrie Govan, both guitar player, musicians, love music

[JR-xpyr]

luckily music isnt a competition so you can actually just like both

[selliantuttimusi]

Without Guthrie, Max wouldn't play the way he does. Guthrie's influence on him is just so evident.

I Love both, and try to study both. It’s not really a fair comparison as GG has 30 years more guitar under his belt. But with that said, the thing that impresses me more about GG is that you can go see him play a 2+ hour set live, and he will give you everything. Away from the comfort of his home, and still blow you away with funky songs, jazzy songs, shreddy songs - utilizing everything imaginable.

Max is versatile and great live too! (Videos of him in high school playing Yngwie). But we really haven’t seen Max get up there live for 2 hours and play a plethora of different things for an audience. I’m sure he will in the near future, but at this point, Guthrie impresses me more. And no shame of course - Guthrie has been playing for 30 years longer!

obviously Guthrie.. no doubt.. max is good with great speed but have to learn more to be in Guthrie level.. he can play anything and almost any style

[PhilBotOOO]

Max is still a student. Now he may be PhD Honours scholarship student with his picture in the main hall for achiever of the year. But Guthrie is the professor.

Max Ostro is like this because Govan exists.

Out of the two examples i liked max's solo more. It wasn't just fast but it has feeling and the notes he was hitting were juicy and meaningful. I just like where he went with his melody out of these two examples

[ginomorales]

That live flatlands solo is legendary.

Getting comparison with guthrie at such a young age is unbelievable

Guthrie. I mean you can hear so much of Guthrie in Max's playing. Max is an amazing guitarist, but Guthrie is in a league of his own. Guthrie is THE BEST player you will ever hear. Not only is it improvised. It's real musical ideas on the fly. His brain just works on another level. When Guthrie is improving on stage, he puts every single great guitarist he's up there with to shame. Petrucci, Abasi, Paul Gilbert, the dream catcher event.. You name a player and Guthrie just has their number. He can do it all. Guthrie is special.

[jamesa.paintingjap.]

The fact that Max is barely a young man still, and is even being compared is a huge compliment. Imagine when he’s been playing for another 20 years like Guthrie?? Both BEASTS.

[terryfishbourne]

No comparison just yet, Max is heir to the throne.

Guthrie. It’s crazy that we live with someone whose probably the greatest at his instrument that we’ve ever seen. Guthrie is a machine. He plays with so much feel too. To be that technically flawless and that compositionally great is so rare. Guthrie is a treasure we need to prop up more.

[DoktorDamage]

I will take a nice dish of both at your convenience please...Thanks! Both are exceptional players !!!

[nowmonk]

Very strong is the force in both.. so both have enough midiclorians.. 🔥🔥

[michaeldavis]

Any question without Matteo Mancuso isn’t a legit question.

Max:
Guthrie: takatakataaaa ta ta taa taa taa

That’s a huge difference!

[JeffCahill-tpik]

I've been privileged to see Guthrie live three times, from just feet away. Second and third times were with The Aristocrats. First time was with Steven Wilson and even though I was there to see Guthrie, I was so mesmerized by Marco Minnemann I kind of forgot Guthrie was even there! LOL.

[Progmium]

Love both! Extremely talented. Guthrie has lived way longer than Max, thus more experience. But Max is an amazing player and still has so much more to offer in the coming years.
