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!

Young fingers with old chops versatility and sound. A nice gift to hear at the end of the day Jeff.

[APcaveman]

Possibly the best around right now. This guy’s playing is simply amazing

[Auto_Funk]

The phrasing and taste is unrivalled as far as I'm concerned !

[auracle]

The quick movements you mention is him switching pickups, tapping a harmonic and retrieving his pick from between his fingers (following a hybrid fingerpicking section) simultaneously. Crazy sleight of hand.

[noone-ty]

Quite an impressive talent. Like him a lot.

[Belman]

That kid is simply amazing. He's at a level that's very rare to see. Love it. And looking carefully at his right hand, he did indeed flip the pickup selector switch on a few occassions.

[APcaveman]

I wish Max would put out a whole album

[Tassilago]

Holy...😳!
This was mind bending. It looked like the right hand had showed up to the wrong party. What a talent!
Have a great weekend, Jeff 🤗✨

[chuzzwozzer]

I watch Max's Promenade video at least once a week, I find his playing mesmerising! I hope he goes on to achieve great things.

[markchasse]

First time I saw him was when he was playing an acoustic and electric up in his apartment with a metal chimney in the middle of it. I Knew then he was destined for greatness.

Thx for the reaction!

[math_turbo_Ks]

Yeaah, this 19yo Max is absolutely genius. I expect what will he play 10 years later.

[ianpearce]

This is something special . Head and shoulders above the pack

[andrewkeen]

Hey Jeff :) Glad you checked out Max, he is quite something.

[hunorszabo]

Precision on the highest top, never heard something like that. Only 18 years old Maxie! 🤩

[xlrr]

I would say Max is one of the top 5 players in the world right is on another level.

[philsarkol]

He is on the spot with the melodic changes, that makes the colour of the piece change. Gives it a kind of logic in the melody. But this is amazing...so fluently effortlesly...

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.

[davidchuvan]

He is my actual favorite guitarist. A slap in my face each time I hear his perfect playing ability. Je suis écoeuré mais c'est bon putain !!! 😅

[caprise-music]

Awesome! What a player! Got chops and style
