[@VITALIISCHERBINA]

Thanks Jared for including me in this vid I can't believe in this opportunity! It is a great honor to be among such cool and talented guys❤️

[@GammaFZ]

Yeah bro I saw your video when you put it out. I loved it lol and knew you were gonna be in it. I hope I didn’t mess my entry up, I sent it on Tuesday to Jared but then I replied on Thursday with a backup link so the date on the thread flashed as a day late. I hope this means he doesn’t ignore my entry 😭. If he ignores though, I put it on my yt if you wanna look. Would mean the world to me if you do 🙏

[@Kb07drummer]

Dude clean as fuck, sick progression man

[@VITALIISCHERBINA]

@@GammaFZ oh man, don't worry ahead of time. I think there will be a few more such videos, because there were too many submissions!

[@Hikaeme-od3zq]

Great lead tone, reminds me of that juicy Polyphia guitar tone they had on Muse.

[@kingplo1]

Yours was before my favorite, will definitely be stealing some licks from you 😂🤘

[@CesarAshG]

Thank you so much for the opportunity, Jared!! Is insane the amount of talent we have right now in the world. So many amazing players!!

[@kennyplaysguitar]

[@prestonleemusic]

Opening the video was a crazy suprsise haha thank you so much for the opportunity, everyone did fantastic!

[@gitarmats]

Oh wow! I'm honored to be included! (0:57) So many crazy good players on here! Thanks, Jared!

[@PascalGrevinga]

Wow indeed. That solo is beautiful!

[@gitarmats]

@@PascalGrevinga Thank you very much!

[@tusharjamwal]

I swear what we are getting now is so much better than just having one collab.

[@KnuckleFist]

Marcin Momot at 11:46 is stunning!

[@Itsklops]

Beautiful arps..least amount of scales

[@PolskaTheGrey]

Honestly probably your best collaboration comp you've done. Everyone is edited in so perfectly and match so well. We'll done again. Also Preston Lee is fly af.

[@SpookyVibesStudios]

Thank you so much for including me and giving me this opportunity! It means the world! 2:19 🙏🏻🤘🏻🖤🔥

[@Evilducttapeman]

I didn’t know kylo ren can shred 🤘🏻

[@SpookyVibesStudios]

@@Evilducttapeman Haha! That’s awesome, lol! I haven’t heard that before, lol. 😂 Love it! Thank you! 🤘🏻🖤 and may the force be with you, lol!

[@mattmagno9436]

Thanks for including me Jared!! After seeing the other entries I honestly didn’t think I deserved to be up there LOL but wow this is such an honor. Keep up what you’re doing, you’re doing great things for this community!

[@Seabass901]

It's only a competition against yourself man. Keep grinding! :)

[@ej1_drew]

nah that solo had a lot going for it and great use of the entire fretboard !

[@Jeroen_K]

Your solo stood out to me by starting it with something else compared to bucketloads of other competitors who's first notes start to sound like more of the same to my ears.

[@miserycord0666]

10:04 - 11:47 I love how these players had similar phrases in their solos. Almost like they’re continuing their solo where the previous left off. So cool

[@SaulRamosMusic]

Wow Jared, thank you so much for including me in this one (9:42) honored to be included alongside all these amazing musicians here! Seriously you all did an amazing job!

[@PiciorTe]

Hubert, good to see you here!

[@KanekinFitness]

Catarinth solo is my fav. Tone and notes stand out and are well thought out.

[@Hanginglimbs1]

Catarinth's tone and style really spoke to me

[@ollimoore]

The one that stands out to me (by a small margin…..so many great players…) is Maxx Blois-Rosetti (6:21) I love how the dude almost seems surprised by how good his own note choice is.

[@MaxxBR721]

Haha thanks dude! Wanted to try to imply some modal interchange in this one

[@imsomeon]

Favs would be Vitalii Scherbina, Ernest Mel Viajeros Polares, Victor Grillo, Catarinth, Mateusz Baprowski, Emmy Barone and Marcin Momot

[@Composer_Ben]

Just a whole bunch of really talented people entering this year. 🤯Some that I liked from this one were: Mats Moland Traeen, Vitalii Scherbina, Pete & Vinnie, Georgi Dobrev, Dignity, Martin Bergner, Soren, Jon Yadon Jr., Solomon, Mateusz Baprowski. Really good solos here, everyone!

[@gitarmats]

Thank you!

[@Dignityofficial_]

🥺💜

[@SYNDRONE]

Love how Dignity nailed the Alexi Laiho vibe. I wonder if he also used a booster on the pickup into some sort of Lee Jackson preamp? :D 🖤

[@Dignityofficial_]

:'D lmao thank you! Good guess. Recorded with a modded/custom JE-1000 Clone into a '88 Lee Jackson Preamp. Also i loved yours and the ones from last year. That was just killer.

[@SYNDRONE]

@@Dignityofficial_ Ha, awesome rig! \m/ Alexi was one of my big idols when I was a teen and he will always have a special place in my heart, so your entry felt right at home and I absolutely love it.

[@Dignityofficial_]

@@SYNDRONE 💜

[@georgidobrevmusic]

Thanks so much for showcasing us Jared you're an absolute legend!

[@victorgrillo01]

Thank you so much, Jared! It is truly an honor to be among all these incredible guitarists 🤘

[@mortisnoctu]

Very nice!

[@BetinaRad]

Thanks so much for including me, Jared!! It's a great honour to be amogst all of these magnificent guitarists!

[@666tonsofsquirrels]

DUDE Thank you so very much for having me 11:04 Everyone's takes are SO very unique, just shows you how much creative potential is out there. My personal favorites in this video are Dignity at 5:00 and Matt at 12:08 but everyone absolutely slayed it. Take care everyone 🤘🤘🔥🔥

[@Dignityofficial_]

thank you so much man 🥲💜 there are so many good entries in general, its not even funny. You did an amazing job

[@harasiswadhwa9181]

Thank you for including me Jared. A true pleasure to play amongst such phenomenal shredders. Love from 🇮🇳 Watch me at 4:20.

[@user-qc9yj5nf9f]

Perfect time 420

[@awalsingh4]

Top 2 for me. And you’re not 2

[@patrickmcmullen3936]

That dude Preston Lee that started with acoustic/electric was unexpected but great. Then he shows off his Shredi Knight skills. Top notch. Chef’s kiss.

[@mackhill8851]

My favourite was bpmelody but I also loved Emmy Barone, Marcin Momot, Preston Lee, Betina, Mats Moland Traeen and Aditya Ghosh.

[@gitarmats]

Thanks!

[@prestonleemusic]

Thanks! ❤

[@kanslansverkstad-thecourse4373]

Electric guitar has been my all time favorite since my teens. I was there when metal was born. I’m so pleased over the evolution and status of today. 0:01 Preston Lee 333 3:20 Ernest Met 333 8:43 Mateusz Baprowski 333 10:24 bpmelody 333 My criteria when judging: (1-3) 1 Instant gratification … the wow and cool factor 2 Want to hear more … tasty … Emotional … the tone 3 Memorability … melodic … Originality … composing skill

[@jeremyfenix8078]

Preston Lee, Dignity, Markus Steinbaugh, Tommy Newstead. For real tho........so many talented shreders in here!!

[@Dignityofficial_]

🥲thank you so much 💜

[@coopmdlck]

yeah preston is actually insane

[@prestonleemusic]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@nicolesisco3173]

Marc Putnam was A M A Z I N G. 2:19 so. good. 🖤🤘🏻

[@redrumredrum7950]

Hubert!!!🔥🤘🤘🤘🔥 Loved the intro played right before the backing track kicked in! Freakin' nailed it!!!🤘🔥👍 Put 'em on the shred vid🤪!!!

[@JeremyHodges]

THIS WAS SO HARD. I'd almost take them all. However, the best are: • Preston Lee • Vitalii Scherbina • Aditya Ghosh • Ernest Mel • Victor Grillo • Henrique Kuhn • Markus Steinbaugh • David Richardson • Mateusz Baprowski • Emmy Barone • bpmelody • Marcin Momot • Matt Guzelis I also really liked: • Emilio M Rizzi

[@DRichGuitar]

Thanks so much! Glad you liked my solo and really appreciate the support mate 🤘🏼😄

[@prestonleemusic]

Thank you so much ❤

[@xluciferlux]

Hey Jared thank you so very much for including me in your video, and to the rest of the guitarist y’all are amazingly talented keep it up!! 💪🏾

[@JakDanielz]

Every one of these musicians are incredible, and I could never touch their level of talent without years of nose-to-the-grindstone hard work, but David Richardson, Jon Yadon Jr., Emmy Barone, bpmelody, Emilio M Rizzi, Marcin Marmot, and Matt Guzelis have blown my mind! Thank you so much for doing this again Jared! These artists really keep my hopes for new and innovative music alive! I definitely do NOT envy you for having to go through 1,500 submissions though lol 😂

[@Bardish]

bro as long as we are screaming happily while "shredding" at our 600 notes per minute barrier🤣 tbh these dudes actually give me inspiration, they are like us regular run of the mill self made musicians who just were determined and put in the time, now they are shredding like nobody's business. Amazing.

[@DRichGuitar]

Thanks so much for mentioning me amongst all these great players 🙌🏼😄 Glad you liked my entry and appreciate the support mate 🤘🏼🎸

[@MattGuzelis]

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it! ;)

[@vanechka222]

I think we need more players like Jon Yadon Jr and Dignity. Everyone in this video is crazy talented, but these two dudes are just wild

[@Dignityofficial_]

thank you so much 🥲💜

[@mortisnoctu]

@@Dignityofficial_your solo melted faces 💀 Awesome backing track too

[@ninetyfor]

Marc Putnam makes his guitar sing. Such an amazing riff.

[@teabagginelite7030]

Even though i like Jared's commentary, i actually like this better because you've basically given these players their own biggest shred collab before the official one.

[@fractalnightmare]

Soren has my vote for this batch! The faces! The groove! The bends! Oh my!

[@Sorentheguitarist]

Much appreciated my friend 🙏

[@niyongcheng4578]

Aditya gosh definitely.... tone, technique,melody shred all done perfectly

[@sedatev7341]

I really liked catarinth's one at 5:41

[@3lapsed]

Jared i love how you're mixing up the style of how each of these videos plays.

[@MBrulla]

Victor Grillo's submission is one of the tastiest I've heard in a long while.

[@edwardglyons]

This continues to be beyond the best thing ever! Seriously hoping to see Tim Holman’s entry soon. I’m a huge fan of his playing.

[@ABELIII-abelthethird]

2:19 - Marc Putnam 😍 The man! Tasty licks as always 🎸

[@doompod]

My Top 5: 1. Preston Lee 2. Ernest Mel Viajeros Polares 3. Georgi Dobtev 4. Israel Romero 5. Marcin Momot

[@prestonleemusic]

Thank you! 🙏🏻

[@josebaldunciel1865]

My favorite were Vitali Scherbina, Victor Grillo, Ryuuta Sasaki and Marcin Momet

[@therealjordangaming]

All great musicians, but for me it's gotta be Catarinth at 5:42. I passed away during this video and the sheer elemental power of his shredding brought me back to life

[@KainzMusic]

It does my (old) heart good to see that mad guitar skills are still going strong! Thanks to Jared for assembling these musical masters!

[@DisturbedShad0w]

My favorites here are Victor Grillo, Georgi Dobrev, and Martin Bergner, but damn everyone is so talented.

[@franciscocedenolanza]

My favs are: Vitalii Scherbina Marc Putnam Matt Magno Ernest Mel Viajeros Polares Dignity Martin Bergner Maxx Blois-Rosetti Soren Tommy Newstead Emmy Barone

[@Dignityofficial_]

[@DjuhloBear]

This years contest has turned into the newest friendsfinder on a possible global scale. Thank YOU Jared Dines, for making making a lot of "metal babies" by openly presenting SO many great shredders to all of Us!

[@faisalguitar]

Holy smokes! Thanks for much for having me on!

[@vexelghost]

So many talented musicians in every video posted this week. Thanks for showcasing these amazing shredders. 😮

[@ReLoa]

Such a cool compilation of young talents! Thanks for doing this, motivated to pick my guitar and also start practicing. My favs are Vitalii Scherbina and Tommy Newstead

[@mitch7534]

Preston Lee is another stand out for me with the acoustic intro to the electric solo! Fire bro

[@tacantero]

So cool to see Catarith's entry, very interesting and unique

[@dhruvbansal5769]

Amazing compilation Jared! All musicians are extremely talented. Harasis Wadhwa’s submission was my favourite one.

[@miserycord0666]

I really liked 10:24 bpmelody and 10:44 Solomon. Both took the time to develop a great catchy melody while peppering it with their guitar wizardry.

[@RealJohnnyG]

Y'all killed it. This was awesome.

[@user-ee7mb8uo7n]

1:59 Faisal 🤍🤍🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Thanks for the mention (6:01) Jared!

[@user-xw9bg3iw9z]

3:00 Pete & Vinnie are amazing!! Great shred video with lots of different styles and so much talent but Pete & Vinnie’s collab is awesome, unique and inspiring.

[@doompod]

I really liked this style of video. Just pure shredding! 🤘🏼

[@nicolaanelka]

Presto lee, vitali sherbina, Betina my favourite here

[@DanielsonOfAGun]

Vitalii Scherbina and Marcin Momot hands down 🔥🔥🔥

[@JamieRox19]

Marc Putnam was my favorite one out of all the amazing guitar players! Loved the vibes and his guitar playing skills!!! His riff sounded the most natural flowing to me. 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

[@Life_With_Mary_]

Agreed!

[@_crewgz]

been loving this series and massive thank you to the amazing guitarist for inspiring me to pick up the guitar again after a 5 month break. I'm gonna practice hard for the Next Shred collab. and my favourite is Victor Grillo, those Harmonics

[@victorbetini6204]

Victor Grillo is favourite too!

[@Dignityofficial_]

:O yo thats me ( 5:01 ) with all those great musicans. wtf. Good job everyone, even if you're not there, I saw so many awesome entries on my own, keep it up.

[@lethium4250]

Fairplay as always, some amazing entries this year 🤯 hope you'll make it to the final compilation ! thanks to all, keep shredding \m/ "See you in a few days" 😉

[@Dignityofficial_]

@@lethium4250 there are so many cool entries with so many cool licks and ideas, its not even funny. Reminds us how many good people we havent even heard yet. That would be amazing to shred along in that collab, but still theres so many cool people with such good ideas, at this point you can just toss a coin and everyone would be an amazing pick. Also i see what you did there in the end 🥲 thank you for your support 💜

[@konni9863]

Yours was by far the best! Sounds like prime Laiho

[@Dignityofficial_]

​@@konni9863😮 thank you so much for that compliment 💜🙏🏻

[@maksym5577]

I litelarly cried... This was one of the best musical and mental jaurnies in my life... And also Marcin Momot is my friend from the music camp that I go to every year. Congratulation and you are amazing Marcin! And of course others were insanely good too... Wow... Just wow....

[@CarNerd7]

[@Chris-th4im]

Wow.. love how you’re doing it this Jared….so good.. my favorite Aditya Ghosh… perfect tone… great playing…badass. 🤘😎🎸

[@ColdRiverAutowire]

Billy is shredding it at 5:41 !!

[@thespacementv1506]

5:41 awesome shred.

[@mrmisplaytcg]

I was just searching for 2023 version of this a few hours ago and then this came up just now! Amazing as always!

[@rebelliousfineart8202]

Preston Lee came in hard as the first submission in this video and it’s difficult to be the one to set the bar like that, Mateusz Baprowski has my favorite guitar and tone out of these, Emmy Barones was the one that stood out to me as the most unique and well executed, and I know I said I’d limit my picks to 3 for each of these videos but Marcin Momot also really stood out to me. All these musicians are 🔥 asf!

[@GammaFZ]

Preston’s submission was only made iconic because of the videography. He was quite average amongst the rest playingwise.

[@Reneealls18]

Marc Putnam was so good!🤘🏼 2:19

[@MattGuzelis]

Wow! Christmas came early! :D Jared, thank you so much for including me in the video!

[@annabelle7332]

I hope there's still parts for this compilation to show the other contestants. All players here are amazing. Good job 👍

[@thehatemachinestl]

[@hubthemusician]

Thank you for having me! It's an honor. Damn... So many great players! :o

[@LarsonGuitarPlayer]
