You might recognize him from various online competitions, for example:
Max is 22 years old - and already has impressive control of tone and melody. I also predict he will inspire us to work hard on our legato and fusion chops.
Check out his first lesson - http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Melodic-Rock-Soloing/ - right away!
I am looking forward to learning from you - welcome to GMC Max!

Credits to you for being up late at night!
Btw you have got a really cool rig there with Suhr + Axe FX, and it shows - you have got a very nice tone!

Thanks! I still working on my tone a lot, and found Axe FX the most versatile device, which sounds cool in almost all conditions!

Yes so it seems! Lots of other great guitarists using it as well. *GAS here I come..! *

Haha, yea, GAS is with us! I have Strymon Timeline, use it so little, since Axe FX arrived, but glad just to have it

Hey Max welcome onboard
Great first lesson
Any chance of you sharing your presets? I've got the Axe Fx Ultra and always looking for great useable rock tones

Welcome to GMC, Max! Fantastic phrasing and tone, mate!

Hey, no problem! These presets are quite simple, but sound cool to me)
Just place 2.syx into 2nd user cab slot and Marshall1960B-V30s-KM84-Stereo-Room.syx into 10th and that's it!
I didn't used delay from lead preset in the lesson. And I have high output humbucker in bridge position, so my input level on axe is set just a little bit more than 12o'clock
