So well deserved! Glad Lucas talked about your shining talent. You both share this inspiring love for music we can hear in every note you make.

Outstanding Ms. Jones....your tone and musical comportment made me cry. Smh Thank you!

[@carlboswell986]

I believe Tomo Fujita says, "don't compare". I just enjoy what I'm able to do on guitar, while also enjoying listening to what others can do on guitar.

[@florianzellmer8735]

There's a reason his channel is called guitar wisdom

[@cheftekard7165]

I love him. He’s like a combination of a guitar God and Japanese wise man. Lmao

Adam Fulara isn't just a master of double-neck guitar. He's also a master of guitar face.

[@TommyWashow]

Legit checked his page to see if he had some type of palsy but turns out it's just the worst looking guitar face ever

[@TikeMyson69]

In fairness, his hands are being tortured by his puppeteer.

[@junkyarddog4411]

If Metallica played classical guitar.

[@matteochiodini2670]

Absolutely true ahahahah

[@ReeWebster]

That’s not guitar face. That’s severe, uncontainable pain of the brain.

[@eriktempelman2097]

Stephanie Jones is the real classical deal. Her tone control and quality are excellent. The composer is actually also a beast...

[@johannschiel6734]

Saw her live recently. Perfect!

[@ebrahimalfardan8823]

1:37 I agree the playing is insane but the faces are insaner

[@SolvingOurKreation]

Adam Fulara was one of the first ever guitarists I saw on youtube that truly blew me away.. such a surreal talent! His other videos are just as amazing.

[@robhand7205]

Haha Great stuff. I saw him play Maple Leaf Rag like 10 years ago if not more.. blew me away. I actually bough a classical shortly there after and started classical lessons. I only took the lessons for about a year but have since learned many classical pieces. Still not sure how Adam Fulara plays what he does.

[@SolvingOurKreation]

@@robhand7205 the Maple Leaf Rag was my favorite video on his channel haha! You should upload some tunes sometime bro. :)

[@minkorrh]

Max Ostro always cracks me up as he's so nonchalant about his playing. It looks as if it's 'just something he does'.

[@spectrumifs]

Adam Fulara is awesome! Imagine how much faster he could play if he relaxed his lips.😁

[@Tejoz]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 that’s where he got his super power from.

[@klegdixal3529]

his facial expressions are legendary, but in reality the video is old as the coal, in his more recent stuff he's much more relaxed, free flowing and has some really tasty phrasing.

[@rafguitarjr]

🤣😂🤣😂

[@gravyblue]

I was lucky enough to do a record with Sylvain Luc. I asked him to show me some chords and he said " Doog, zere are no chords, zere is only melody..." I've never worked with a more musical person.

[@auracle6184]

Something that's worth mentioning about Max Ostro... He's only 17 currently. He started uploading videos covering guitarists like Paul Gilbert and Yngwie Malmsteen when he was about 12!!

[@jamescanady3442]

I freaking love Max, man. He's one of our future guitar heroes (more so than he already is) and the kid just seems so humble.

[@joshmuz9018]

One of the most naturally gifted and effortless players I have ever seen.

[@olddoggeleventy2718]

Yes, as soon as I saw him I remembered seeing his video(s) from a few years ago. He's not as shy now and just over the top talented.

[@usf3983]

He seems to play like (and sport hair like) Buckethead, a student of Paul Gilbert.

[@FretsOnFire]

I've had some cool chats with Max - he's a really cool guy, and very different. You know right away that you're talking with a genius. Those were only text chats, but Max also likes to speak in a very convincing British accent; he made a Q&A video where I could have sworn he was a Brit, if I didn't hear him speak in Russian in the video! An interesting fact Max told me was that he didn't start playing guitar as a little child as I assumed - he said he pretty much started at 11....it was hard to believe!!🤯🤯

[@zacharydarling1831]

Love that you chose Max as one, a truly force to be reckoned with for guitar.

[@Nick--Name]

[@elefantspidsmus]

I am so happy, you brought up Sylvain Luc. A true master.

[@fmills1583]

Max Ostro's been discovered, finally!

[@mateocastro3070]

I love this naked-eyed type of videos from Lucas. It really goes to show who he truly is beyond his guitar skills. ♡.

[@desdelohondo8363]

Im glad you got to know maestro Antonio Rey through our suggestions! Congratulations for your channel, absolutely enjoyable!!

[@Rocksite1]

That Max Ostroumov was 15 in that vid. Reminds me of a young EVH: good theory knowledge, super fast and fluid runs, tapping, the EVH hair, inventing his own style (tho it borrows from EVH & Satch), flawless and creative harmonics, and breaking the "rules" of how to play. Oh yeah. And, he rocks.

[@katowicenet9988]

I love how you can hear the guitarists breathing in sync with the music they play, how they move their whole body expressing it.

[@corallaroc2946]

Antonio Rey makes the guitar both growl in passion just for a second and sing softly the other instant. At no time there is any plastic-like nylon sound. Every "aggressive" outburst is so clean and reminds me of a wooden percussive instrument. At the same time the treble is so warm an sweet. Truely mesmerizing, as you say, wow.

[@allan2098]

I saw him live in a litlte club in NYC a couple of years ago, playing with a jazz band. Amazing talent.

[@Idiomatick]

For alien level skills, check Luca Stricagnoli... The dude plays complex slap guitar, multiple lines of music on multiple guitars at the same time. Also, this jazz guy Lucas Brar is a technique monster as well, worth looking up.

[@dbuck5350]

I live in Florida, so I have no need for a fireplace. Which is where my guitar would have ended up on many occasions after struggling terribly, then watching you wonderful elite players dancing all over the strings. It gave me one heck of an eye-opening chuckle to think you might feel the same at times. Happy to see Stephanie Jones in the mix today. Her finger work just blows me away.

[@kobrien6657]

Adam Fulara's face is so serious😂😂. Amazing, but I couldn't help but laugh. My instructor keeps telling me that I don't have enough "guitar face", I get it now.

[@mattrogers1946]

Looks like he needs a laxative...💩

[@vincent1951fly]

These are indeed amazing guitarists. They are great in there own musical world. Nothing wrong with that. You Lucas Brar are a even better guitarist because you play all styles and that on a top level. You do not need electricity, amp,distortion and so on. You play the guitar in his purest form. Thanks for sharing your musical interpretations.

[@virdesire]

Ostro is one of my favorites ever

[@David-mw3sb]

The astounding beauty of Bachs music never fails to move me.

[@markaitkenguitar]

Thank you for showcasing guitarists that aren’t doing the full on percussion schtick. Very refreshing!

There is indeed so much talent out there! Glad you (also) picked Stephanie Jones. I mustn't have been the only one to mention her name but she surely belongs to this amazing list you made. Thanks for the inspiration Lucas ;) Have a great day!

[@ZSChillGuitarMusic]

Sylvain Luc is the master of the Masters and a really nice guy too !

Best guitarist you've never heard of: Jon Gomm, Jon F'ing Gomm. Songs like Passionflower, Cocoon, Check your still breathing. To me this guy is unmatched in musicality and talent as a guitarist.

[@socialhostage8534]

I never wanted to put down my guitar after hearing a master. It only inspires me about what is possible and what I can still learn. You can sometimes also amaze yourself by learning yourself to play something that looked so hard and impossible at first. Only dedication wil bring that.

[@Proximo011]

I once had the honour of meeting Sylvain Luc at a concert of his he had with my guitar teacher, and I remember to my astonishment, when I shook his hand I realized his hands were very small.... and I dont have large hands. But he could play like he had reach through half the fingerboard

[@tomasw6985]

Adam...wow. Insane is right. A pleasure to see and hear. Max...with the passing of Eddie I didn't know how much I needed to hear this.

1:39 okay, the ONLY reason he could play all that was that someone kicked him in the nuts just before filming. That first guy is like if Steve Vai and Guthrie Govan had a baby. 6:06 jebus.... with double jointed spider fingers like that, of course he can play fast! Tory Slusher does some pretty cool two handed tapping stuff.

[@ericgendell8874]

I understand those feelings of self doubt and insecurity that witnessing a great virtuosos, especially child prodigies perform magnificent music may incite. When I was younger, I smashed guitars out of frustration and experienced the anxiety of self doubt, but fortunately I have matured and now not only accept that others have achieved levels of greatness that are beyond my capacity, mostly because I never studied music theory and have maintained musical illiteracy that may have obstructed me from attaining those levels of virtuosity, but what I have accomplished are the levels of originality and authenticity to which I have always aspired. When I was a teen, the first time I heard Hendrix, my response was "my G()D, this guy is as great as Bach." While Hendrix was nowhere near Bach's level of technical perfection, .was nowhere the musician, composer or arranger, the reality is that he had that pure alchemical elixir of originality, he was beyond Bach and his influence globally may be as great. I am not saying Hendrix is greater, which would be sheer lunacy, but the fact is that we are blessed to have both, that variety is the spice of life. The reality for me is that I love music far more than my fears, insecurity and limitation and when I hear these virtuosos, I don't try to compete with them because they are far better at being who they are than I could ever hope to be, so their music for me becomes inspiration, rather than intimidation and I love them rather than fear their prodigious skills and musicality.

[@ripcord93]

[@WolfRanger2008]

I've learned to NEVER compare myself to others. Admire and appreciate their skill, talent and abilities but always remember to reach the stage you see on these videos that it all began with one song, one chord practised one note, one day at a time. Then practice, practice and more practice. Keep these thoughts in mind and the idea of "throwing away one's guitar" goes away.
