Late night noodling around on my Ibanez AZ2402 Prestige!

Hi folks!
Some late night noodling around on my brand new guitar - Ibanez AZ2402ICM Prestige!
What an honour to play such an incredible guitar! Big thanks to Ibanez Guitar​ and Kashiuchi Motoaki​ for providing me this fantastic instrument!
It has Seymour Duncan® Hyperion™ pickups with 10 different switching settings which makes this instrument so versatile!
Also this roasted maple neck smells tasty!
A very interesting feature for playing in the darkness is the luminescent inlay - Luminlay! It also looks beautiful.

He goes back to his dimension after each play...

[@cubekz87]

Hahahahaahah 😂😂🍻😂😂

[@bestsamplesvstkontaktdaw1678]

Sure hahahahhahaha

[@thechannelofp.5328]

For sure

[@maidenforever999]

Can you believe he is only fucking 16 years old!?!? Im a decent guitar player at 26yo but this kid is 110% from some other dimension... He will surpass Guthrie Govan for sure at this rate. Good job Max. Hands down one of the best walking the earth. I stand in awe, its like time froze.

[@starsonmars9429]

Might buy a JS model one day when a 50% discount sale is on

[@gorehammer42o]

0:50 has to be some of the cleanest hybrid picking I've ever seen. Once again, beyond impressive. 🤘🏼

[@gtone8974]

him and Quayle need to collab.

[@bluematrix5001]

he is the cleanest by far

[@TheMorganMonroeShow]

Very Buckethead like.

[@ExternalTooth]

@@DjinnGSXR Agreed, skillful hybrid picking intermittently while doing blazing fast legato runs.

[@fhhfgj]

No band, no album, no hit song And yet he should have his own signature series guitar.

[@Cultural_Supremacist]

It's bizzarro world, but yeah. This kid is something else.

I was just thinking...not long til guitar manufacturers get in line to present a signature Ostro model 👍

[@Cheximus]

@@Cultural_Supremacist There's actually millions of these kids out there, with them growing up learning from YT. Although he is incredibly impressive, the bar is being set higher and higher with each year that passes.

[@maximehedin7143]

yeah it's easy to plays shit shreddin shit...but hard to make a simple song. funkin shit world today

[@mehditayshun5595]

Don't think I could EVER get tired of listening to this master 🙂

[@yaisum]

Fair play, my guess is Ibanez saw you for some inexplicable reason not winning the Kiesel comp and thought "Christ on a bike! Send that kid a guitar and make it a good one cos if Kiesel don't want you playing their gear we sure as shit do" and who can blame them? Your playing is absolutely immense dude. Bravo!

[@sasangsingson7613]

[@deanwitt7903]

Lol 10 Brian Mays and Richie Blackmores couldn’t compete with this guy , he is on another level all together as a guitar player . Even Brian may seeing as he is so humble would admit this guy is a freak . Blackmore on the other hand would be over come with jealousy and couldn’t bring himself to do anything other than criticise .

[@ricdale7813]

Max has so many complex techniques going on it boggles my mind. And then too effortlessly mesh them in and out of his scaling is Brilliant. The finger picking/sweeping/alternate picking hand useage adds Dimensionsal flavors that not many folks can Achieve. Im not gonna Lie you Look like a Young EVH and play like an Alternate Universe EVH. Brilliant and Refreshing.. Thank You Max

[@Progmium]

I think of him more like Govan. He is a swiss army knife. You can't ignore the plethora of techniques he's got under his fingers from just about every guitar hero I know. Brilliant!

[@smn1085]

we are just seeing how 15 yo people beats the greates shredders from the 80's. the world is changing

Have Ibanez signed this guy yet? They might want to do it ASAP before Fender, Gibson or any other top manufacturer gets in there first! Absolutely unbelievable playing. Ultimate respect to you sir! Keep it up!

[@jasonwilliams7454]

Sometimes I hate saying "the next _____", but to give it context for a guy like me who grew up on neoclassical shredders - THIS KID WILL PICK UP WHERE JASON BECKER LEFT OFF! I have not been this excited since JB, and this kid has the technique and sound to surpass anything I've heard. Incredibly-rare talent.

[@mattschulze2289]

Hi Max... what a refreshing thing to see you playing and your humor. I like the way you phrase. I will send this to Jason Becker. If u watch movies I was in Fast and Furious etc...

[@stewiepid4385]

When I see & hear a guitarist playing a sophisticated range of solo techniques without looking at the fretboard and staring straight into the camera ............................ A Bad Ass!

[@DanielVerberne]

0:50 that percussive legato combined with Max's stare - he saw through all my pretense of ever thinking I was capable of legato.

[@encompassthyeclipse7278]

He definitely has some level of education in music. I have known so many musicians that could have been tremendous if only they had an education. Good for this guy that his parents are taking care of him and catering to his interests

Max has killed all the guitar heros in one sweep of his mighty Nuclear pick. We bow to the guitar god. He shall be called MAD MAX 🤘🤘😂 Seriously your best tone I have heard so far is your sunburst squire into a Marshall Combo. I love Ibanez Though sadly my rg550 Of many years has been sold 😭 You should have them custom build you a guitar. The Ibanez people build amazing guitars and their quality is always perfect.

[@Cring0r]

I have so many questions... 1) Why do you look like you are from the 80's 2) Why are you in such a dark room 3) what was it like being one of the kids from stranger things 4) are you ok? are you being held captive as some sort of guitar virtuoso experiment all love no hate, killer playing mate!
