Must have took him fkin ages! 😂
How dare you not to include women? So what if women are much worse then men in making music?
@@smarthalayla6397qqqà
It’s ok, not bad yet these cats are everywhere makin money for others. It’s clean, I can dig it🤔😳
THE winner is jack
Max Ostro is just another level. Oh my god!
After playing the guitar for many years, these five players have inspired me to take up the trumpet.
🤝
I know from personal experience that many guitars inspired me to get a job.
😂 yep
Hahahaha
@@GrandmaSivaok ma’am, whatever helps you sleep at night!
Max ostro with the best tone ive ever heard
Mancuso and Ostro just blow me away, they have a musicality out of this world !
Max Ostro's performance was a stunning example of not only guitar playing in the traditional sense, but also a glimpse of what is genuinely possible when a human heart plays a melody instead of just a fretboard producing noises. He hugged the tune and then branched out into the guitar sun. Significant distinction!
Max Ostro honestly hit me the hardest. Those bends at the beginning gave me goosebumps
Ostro is my favourite by far. What he doesn't is overdoing speed runs, like (some) others do. His feel for melodic runs and bends are out of this world.
Ostro is my fav too.
Yeah. I felt the same. Towards the end it was starting to sound like a bee fest. Then Ostro played. Wow!! Definitely my favorite.
@@rgdec74 Not a bee fest.🤣🤣🤣
@@AUGUSTALLEN28 well you know what I’m getting at 😂😂🤣 my bad a bit dramatic in my description 🤣😂🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
Matteo And max are unbelievable, so melodic.
Hell-to-the-no
@@henrygeorge4876 Average no ears guy, there is no no thats just a straight fact, wash your ears.
Yes! Max phrasing was perfect, same for Mateo
Yes, the other 3 are just very fast, but their phrasing is without interest…
Max is more melodic and has more feel. Matteo is pure talent/speed.
Max Ostro is absolutely amazing
Such an honour to be playing among these guitar MONSTERS I'll never stop learning from.
Thanks JTC for this!
Dude you put in some weird high Page like melody amongst it all you smashed it well you are all monster players.
I have absolutely no idea how you make the guitar make those sounds, but I am absolutely mesmerised. You got a new sub, my friend.
I hear Images and Words era John Petrucci in your playing hardcore❤
No worries, George...your up there with all of them. That solo you put off in this collab, was fantastic. I'm astonished by Max, though...but that's alot cause of his young age and especially the short time he has used to reach this level...I have a feeling that that's not been seen all through the history of the guitar...
i like your style ;))))))))
These guys! 🤯
Thanks JTC for putting this together! 💙
Loving your work
Insane solo! LOVED IT!
Awesome solo mate.👍
Is it intimidating having to play after Matteo…? 😢 love your music and lessons. Especially the modal lesson on prowling blues - underappreciated lesson!
You're one of these guys tho mr jack 😂 awesome as always, glad to be able to enjoy this so huge thanks to jtc!
Matteo is on ANOTHER LEVEL !!!
Max is pretty fuckin close though
Its the fluidity of his phrasing and tone really makes his line sing.
5 beasts but I'm right with you Matteo is the next/another level
Yep. Right below Max Ostro.
Matteo is a jazzman. It’s a bit different on the melodic side.
Gambale, Cusson, Rios, Henderson, Metheny…
Jack is awesome. Sure he likes Gambale.
George and Josh are incredible too.
Max’s bends transcend the notion of the boomer bend
Max and Matteo have that finger tone, which for me, no matter how virtuoso the rest are, sets them appart. They make the important notes sing and stand out.
Totally agree with you, two true musicians before to be two great guitar technicians
All of them are a mess 😭 thank you
it's their phrasing that sets them apart
@@heavoc97933 y 2
It’s the notes they don’t play. There are more rhythmic pauses in their playing.
Matteo is on another level!!! He is the guitar legend of this new generation!!!
Asato too
No he is not in your I ain't never heard or see real guitar playing
@@henrygeorge4876bro thats as real as it gets, however, plini is probably the newage legend
I’ve watched Ostro part like 100 times
Matteo is my favorite to watch and listen to.
I know why: there is an abysmal difference between a real musician and a good shredder. And it's pretty easy to identify each one: just listen to them playing for about 15 min.
The thing about Matteo is that he's a monster guitar player AND an incredible musician. A raising star who is already my favorite guitar player, too!
By the way, I'd love to see a collab between Matteo and Lari Basilio!
🤩
Agree. He have a special musicality
His stuff tends to sound unique because with his technique, you can play so different things that guitarists normally would. It's almost like different istrument. While it's not without caveats, respectively he can't do certain things, but those things he can't do, are mostly done to death
Jack Gardiner was certainly the most supremely 'outside' .. Meader's technicality / fluidity is as smooth as any human I've ever seen.
They are amazing, but Max gives me goosebumps. The right notes in the right place.
I wanted to write "i came for Matteo and stayed for Max", but then i listened to the others again and have to say: they are all unbelievable and original
Matteo is top, but the most fun to listen for me is always Max Ostro. He sounds so unbelieveable cool, technical, melodic, tasty, relaxed, inspired, creative, spontaneous, best phrasing....he is just a musical wonder.
The others are also good hard working players who perform their well practiced licks.
Technically, each of them is at the best level, but musically it is weak. It resembles a warm-up before exercise. That's why I don't listen to fusion. However, I must admit that among them, Max Ostro has the best ear. There is clearly a musical story coming through in his work.
@@rockytalkieAs someone who is a fusion fan, I really liked your “musical story” description. Far too often it feels like fusion players play outside for the sake of it or play fast for the sake of it, without any a feel for the music.
One of the things that sets amazing fusion players apart like Holdsworth and Guthrie is the ability to form a narrative through their improvisation, being technical but only to the extent the music requires. Max Ostro is one of the few guitarists I’ve ever heard that can blend amazing phrasing, perfect note choice, and just the right amount of restraint. He’s probably my favorite guitarist in the world right now, and the fact that he’s only 19/20 years old is insane to me. He’s an anomaly, and as much as I enjoy the other 4 players on this video, Max is by far my favorite. 😁
Matteo writes an immersive story every time he puts his fingers on a fret board!
Jack Gardiner-Now thats fusion guitar playing! 😌👌
Matteo and Ostro are very lyrical players. It's not about speed, it's about creating a musical dialogue.
Matteo not so much at the start though.. but by the end very lyrical
Josh's solo was unbelievably amazing! The emotion, melody and insane technique. I am truly blown away 🔥
Honestly his technique is so clean. Pause at any point and his hands will look like they were sculpted by Michelangelo.
They are all monsters, but I was thrilled by Max's melody.
Max and Matteo each day, every day ⭐⭐⭐
Yep!! They both make melodic & extremely technical playing look so effortless. Especially Max. ☮
@@cyclistman6358 I couldn't agree more sir 👍
@@cyclistman6358Mateo!! Next level...
this is not supposed to be a competition...
@@Grahfx Life is a competition
Matteo and Max Ostro are the best
The cleanliness of Matteo, he plays every single note, not just fast legato, and the musicality, incredible! above the others!
He's my fave too but Max plays lead with Nile Rogers funk! That is unusual. His rhythm is amazing.
Matteo Mancuso, just different. 👏👏👏
Max, your solo is tasteful and melodic.
I like how everyone has their own track to play on but it would have been cool to just see them play on the same track to see their different approaches to the same harmony. I’m such a fan of Mateo, I’m stoked to see him finally releasing his music too. Great job from everyone here.
Every solo was incredible, but the energy and power I got from Geore's solo is out of this world
They are all so great, but my lord, Max is just a sight to behold. 😮
Max ostro 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Jack Gardiner's creative composition is amazing, with the smooth transitions between different techniques making it sound very cohesive.
As far as I love shreddy stuff, the best parts of Max's playing here is when he gets slower, sounds sooo groovy
Big Matteo fan, but Max is no 1 on this. That bit at 4:24 is amazing.
Exceptional playing from all guitarists, well done gents.
That said, Max’s performance had that little extra special sauce, he truly took it to 11!
Yeah, Max is on another level in terms of phrasing and musicality. He also has that something extra like Guthrie that is hard to explain. IMO, technically he's the cleanest and most rounded. Mancuso is also pure magic and originality.
All 5 of those were basically the best solos I’ve ever heard.
Mateo is incredible, Ostro is out of this world, Jack is an Alien, Josh is…. Too good, and George can have my girlfriends panties, playing the way he does. Honestly these are the best players alive right now.
George is in luck!!
Not yet. Ritchie Blackmore, Vivian Campbell, Y. Malmsteen, John Norum, Neal Schon, Jake E. Lee, Paul Gilbert, John Sykes (and many more) are still alive ❤️
@@viggogrendahl1 Aaaaand the one and only TIIIIM Fucking HENSON !!
Dude... These where the best solos you ever heard? And these ar ethe best players right now... Max Ostro didnt even follow the chord changes... They where just noodling on those changes... Guys like Guthrie and Greg would destroy them in their sleep..
@@FSMusic86 No way, dude! These guys are next-level. Would eat them alive!
Great fusion collab 😜💪🏻
My favorite guitarist, Matteo 🔝
It's hard to see this as a Collab since they are basically all playing on quite different tracks.
That's what makes a collab interesting is to see how each approaches the same track.
Still, great playing of course.
exactly!
I think the same thing
Honestly, I sort of prefer individual tracks, I think it allows players to express themselves freely with tracks best suited for their style, essentially giving "the best" for each guitarist to showcase their ability. That's my interpretation at least, but they had a similar sort of idea for their Christmas jam with multiple people on the same backing track and it definitely highlighted their playing compared to one another, so I definitely see where you're coming from too.
I totally get you mate! It was a hard call when writing this one to keep the vibe similar or go towards the directions each player favoured/wanted. I think I made the right call in the end to compose the track as I did as it totally highlights the strengths of each player in their respective musical context. Like for Josh, I KNEW I wanted to get some sort of vibe in quintuplets as I think it fits his playing amazingly well. The same goes for George, who I know leans towards more of the rock fusion stuff, rather than jazz fusion. And Max literally requested "diatonic funk" haha! The most fun thing about it all is that it's actually technically one track, all in one HUGE mix session, with drum transitions between each section, and each solo flows into the next one, so it's like a collab/medley. Thanks for the feedback though! Maybe we need to do more "collab" collabs where it's over the same groove or something
I love Jack, Matteo and the rest but Max gave me goosebumps on this one!
Guthrie would be proud
Ostro sounds like.
True! A lot of modern fusion guitarist are a mix of Guthrie, Gambale and holdsworth, I wish I could hear more Shawn Lane and Scott Anderson but I guess it's to hard to copy
😅
Do you mean greg howe and gambale ? Guthrie was coming after both of these guy
@@paulgilbert3139 Greg Howe not this much, we don't see his type of tapping and vibrato very often
I have listen to this several times. At first I didnt Pay much attention to jack gardiner, but slowly his part grew out of its initial slight anonymity, and now I hooked on it. So smooth in its build up and makes a whole coherent story from start to finish. Im gonna pay much more attention to him. Enjoyed this whole colab. Thx
Agreed its like listening to a story about an ancient Japanese demon 🤘🏻
Matteo is the no. 1 hands down🏆 Crazy melody and shred.
JTC absolutely knows what people want
Matteo and Max nailed this for me.
I was already a fan of Matteo,Now I'm also a fan of Max!
I wish I had right hand skills of Matteo Mancuso.
+ left hand skills of Shawn Lane.
@@sixmillionsilencedaccounts3517 A big thumbs up just for your user name!
They are all insane, for me, gardiner and ostro were outstanding in this solo
Matteo is the best of this group of GALACTIC GUITAR SUPERSTARS! In my humble opinion as a professional guitar player for 58 years, whose hero is Wes Montgomery. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🎼🎵🎶🎸🎶🎵🎼
All exceptional guitarists, but Matteo stands out in terms of technique, melody and sense of improvisation. Another level
🎸🎶💥
Mateo and Max flowed and built
Matteo Mancuso vince su tutti a mani basse. TOP
I'm always getting amazed about Max keeping himself so tasteful and melodic while shredding.
George's solo was so powerful and full of energy💪
Tried listen blinded and hit Matteo and Max. Phrases and skill so recognisable
Mancuso TOP!
Max ... that backing track, how he leaves space in the beginning .... got me hooked .... then off course he shreds, gets melodic in the B-part leading up to some of the best phrases I ever heard him play from 04:55 to 5:00 - well done JTC and Max !
Superb playing Jack and Max are alien
Matteo is the best !!!!!
2:54 WTF what amazing sound!!!!!
Matteo wow 🎸🎶💥
Fuck me.....seriously.....these boys just took the guitar to 3 new levels......man, I watched Matteo about 10 times. Bravo. His phrasing is just goosebump inducing. Some tasty bends and runs....ugh...so spoilt listening to this stuff!!
Seeing all 5 of these legends in one collab is like winning the lottery. All amazing musicians!
WTF!!!!! Matteo Mancuso y Max otro en un mismo pack ? Esto tiene que ser una broma !!!!!. Bravisimo !!!!! :0
Matteo's right hand is blowing my mind!
Everyone left their mark, but it was Max Ostro for me that evoked the greatest emotional response with a tone to die for.
matteo mancuso is a monster...
Absolute insanity by every single player on here!!! 🤯🔥
Max rules!! It's all in the hair
Everyone was so good. All these guys are amazing, but consider Max is still very young and plays with the best of them. He is one of the most talented young players out there.
Well, Matteo and Max are the only ones that at first listening were able to told me a story... A musical story.
Good job!
All the curmudgeons say the same thing. It's too fast for my brain to follow so I don't like it, basically.
Bro. This was so increidble to witness. Max 🖤 thats my boy!!
jack gardiner crazy lines holy shit love it
Loved George Karayiannis' energy and melody!
So jaw dropping that I have to rank this jam :
1. Matteo Mancuso (amazing fusion melodies and who can top that no pick playing?)
2. Max Ostro (Guthries heir, very tastful phrasing, he held back his shredding powers on this one)
3 Josh Meader (This guy is just unbelievable, the tapping, the lines is just Holdsworthy)
4. Jack Gardiner (wicked octave taps, always in the pocket speed runs, one of the best guitarists)
5. George Karayianis (He's a technical melodic monster and its my first time hearing him.)🙂
This guys are Aliens. Guthrie it's time to pass the title to this guys.🤘
Agreed. :)
Max Ostro is still miles and miles from GG. Also, Jack and Josh are both better I'd argue.
Also, Matteo is my favorite player atm, along with GG, but I think in this video in particular Jack was better, and maybe Josh, I would do it like this prolly:
1. JACK
2. MATTEO/JOSH
3. MAX/GEORGE
@@tiago2336 They are all excellent on this vid, can't hear anyone over playing or slacking. Each one has a creative sound that's different. But I ranked Matteo number 1 not only because of the great melody but also because of that insane "no pick playing". As a guitarist, I can relate how hard it is to play fast without a pick.
To me, Matteo, Josh and Max here are in the top for their insane phrasing and tone. Matteo has unbelievable control because of his no pick technique, Josh's right hand technique is also very unique to him, looks very relaxed and clearly extremely efficient. Max's right hand technique reminds me of the old school fusion/shred players - also quite similar to Guthrie, minimal and precise movements, always ready to switch to hybrid. However, Matteo and Josh are outstanding to me here because of their innovative choice of intervals they use to craft the melodies which makes it sound more musical rather than a collage of guitar licks/techniques that happen to sound ok with the backing track. And of course, every guitarist in this video is top tier :)
@steelbender8566 ah I see my friend. I too play with fingers like Matteo, I've studied Classical since 5yo and when I changed to electric the easiest way to adapt was to play with fingers. As such I understand Mancuso's finger language and as good technique as it is, it's just good technique. Atm I use a pick and 3 fingers, hybrid picking, like Tom Quayle for example, it's as hard as playing fingers. And pick only is also hard. So I believe that each style has its advantages and disadvantages, some stuff is harder and easier, at the end of the day its just the technique you prefer for the stuff you play and what you got used to and better at.
On another note, all great players, massive fan of all of them and I wish I can some day get there, but GG will always be the king. Gonna go watch him live in Portugal next Saturday.
Cheers 🤘
Jesus no one can measure up to Max and Matteo! They’re just too unbelievable good. And yes Max is like a little Guthrie
Matteo Mancuso is such a guitar alien. Insane!
Positively surprised by Jack Gardiner, he keeps developing!
The amount of skill in this video is off the charts! Incredible solos!
George's phrasing from 2:33 - 2:44 is head-spinning!
Clearly, the consensus is that the throne is shared by Max and Matteo.
I agree.
grande Matteo!
seriously JTC y'all have to do another masterclass for max his phrasing and legato is just unparalleled
Max is always my favorit 🙌
Absolutely SICK! You guys are just INSANE!
Never thought id hear someone more polished than Max. Matteo managed to find the next level.
Maxi must learn to use his fingers instead of the pick
Max is a beast! Unbelievable....🤘
Loved George’s section!! Dude all of these players are amazing. So much talent on this channel it’s ridic
Все ребята показали высокий уровень. Скорость, качество, мысли. Макс Остро отдельный респект, за юность 👏🏼
Best licks, musicality and precision to Max. Love this guy.
Tremendo Matteo 😎😎😎🎸😎😎😎
Matteo Mancuso the best
So many feels in the music here. Matteo flying us over the mountain shining like diamonds, to Jack freaking shooting lasers everywhere in a tornado, to George getting the soldiers ready to run through an impenetrable wall, to Josh bringing it back to home to where it all started, and Max sending us to into an absolute hurricane with so much control over it, such calmness in the storm. These performances are phenomenal. Every single one has their own story and it's beautiful.
One by one fantastic guitarists with super human technical abilities ! I liked most the guitar sound of Josh Meader.
Way to go Max!! Skill and feeling! loved it.
Esse Max é de outro mundo, não é possível 😮
Monstrous playing & loads of interesting ideas all around. Matteo is just outstanding. It is not possible for me not to get sucked into his musical universe. Brilliant.
