I agree, I got some serious Maiden vibes from this video

[@stormraiders1172]

My boy jared staying true to the pentatonic, let’s go

[@meowtherainbowx4163]

I think Herman tries working outside that scale more often, at least when improvising. Sometimes it sounds cooler, and other times it clashes a bit.

This seems like the kind of thing synyster gates would be down to do. You should hit him up!

[@jhayvaldez6887]

Let's just hope that Jared will make it happen.

[@FartsTasteDelicious]

Apparently Jared has been trying to include Syn on his channel for a while.

[@Threebs_]

@@FartsTasteDelicious where did you get the info? I’d be stoked to follow all the updates

[@siyematahari]

Plllleaseee yesssss

[@evana4622]

This would legit be awesome. What would Syn do if everyone just started DMing him about it like they did with Jared and OF? 🤔🤔

[@prashantsarkar821]

Is it just me, or did some of Herman's skill rub off on Jared. Because I swear Jared was shredding twice as well by the end

[@marvinrockon]

I think it's because Li uses a lot of techniques Jared has in his arsenal as well. It's not like the Tim Henson/polyphia style for example that's quite niche. Having to battle someone being as strong as Li, he of course wants to hold to it and is being pushed to his limits.

I think it's because at the end Herman is accompanying Jared, I think it's happen quite often in battle like this where they battling each other and the accompanying each other at the end...

[@phantomechelon3628]

Thats the magic of Herman! Or maybe its because great musicians vibe off each other while they're playing and get inspired?

[@pradiptogitokusumo616]

Lets be honest this is not shred wars this is just two dudes jamming with each other

[@Macrohard_On_Fire]

Karanveer Singh I think it’s cool when they prepare before hand because it’s showing them the best possible short shred solo they car right to compete with. But jamming is cool too. He should just do both more often and name them different things

[@SymphanyinSorrow]

I prefer hearing these live actually. More chemistry.

[@koffieverslaafde627]

Agree big time, it has such a huge bro vibe idek

[@njl4515]

Some of the live stuff has been really disappointing. Being able to do this live, especially with a beat they've only known about for a day or two, is REALLY impressive. Super talented dudes like Tosin Abasi and Tim Henson haven't sounded as good. The fact that Dines and Li sounded so amazing is a combination of a separate talent of just being able to pop out great sounding licks on a dime, and a bit of luck that it just came together so perfectly.

[@saidhruv7018]

@@njl4515 mate Jared is a great guitarist but he's nowhere close to Tim Henson don't compare them lol

[@koffieverslaafde627]

Sai Dhruv it’s a different style, but you’re right. I like jareds style, it fits here

[@SymphanyinSorrow]

@@koffieverslaafde627 I tend to prefer Jared's style over others he shreds with. Has more personality than many others who all kind of sound the same. Some show off talent and some show of taste more.

Pretty impressive to not only have a shred war with Herman Li, but on top of that, have it be live and improvised. And I gotta say the first half of Jared’s second solo was some of the best I’ve heard from him.

[@DanBolan]

How on earth are they playing roughly in time via the internet? Is that even possible, even with gigabit speeds?

[@ippotsk]

@@DanBolan I think there's some 3rd party streaming software where they both listen to the same track and jam over it at the same time. Not sure how it even works, but it seems to be a thing.

That's not even fair. John Myung plays one of the most complex and progressive bass lines along with dream theater and has a high degree in berkelee college of music. Then there is Davie504 who likes to play funky and poppy bass lines. Sorry, but hands down, John Myung would win flawless. That's no hate against Davie504, I still enjoy his videos once in a while.
