[@atithesnail]

**PLEASE UPVOTE SO JARED MAY SEE IT** I have an idea about this. You could have a championship with rounds, which would make a series. In each episode you have a guest like Nik, or Rudy, or any other KZbinr, and you watch let's say 250 together and pick 10 players (just an example) to get to the next round, or to the finals. That's already 6 qualification rounds (6x250=1500). After that you can have the finals with all the KZbinrs together and pick the winners in a livestream maybe. I think it would be very fun, and beneficial for everyone participating, including the players and the viewers as well.

[@strsh.]

[@vladimirputin5514]

Get lost

[@GammaFZ]

No because what if there are many good guitarists in one of the 250’s but in another 250 they’re all mid, you’ll lose out on them.

[@atithesnail]

@@GammaFZ Let me highligh a very important part: just an example. It means, that what I wrote was just an example. The point is the concept, If Jared likes it, he will decide how many is good, and only he knows how many videos he wants to make.

The best thing about this contest is that, in my feed at least, at least 5-10 solos appear every single day. This has been probably the best thing you've done in terms of community showcasing.

Cool! So many great guitarists here in Hong Kong. Great to see one out in the wild!🎉❤ My votes : Max Van Esch Adam from Hong Kong Mazhuga Kirill

[@nathan.w05]

I find it really cool the influence you can hear in some of these people's submissions! The 15 year old (aptly wearing a Berried Alive shirt) definitely sounded like Berried Alive with that whammy. Adam(from Hong Kong) was also playing an Abasi 8 string and started with thumping. Very cool to see the inspiration shine through!

[@DavinGlover]

Thanks man I appreciate that they are my biggest influence

[@josetobias8084]

I noticed the Abasi guitar with the thumping too of Adam(from Hong Kong)! I also find it fascinating seeing all the influence, and some very talented people who are probably influential to musicians close to them!

[@CreativeMindsAudio]

the fake out i thought you were gonna do is "so I asked some friends to help me with it." 1 video - 25 entries of 1500 oof. This contest may end up being longer than Trey Xavier's song writing contest. Probably best to do a few live streams listening to them all. Reactions/comments/timestamps: 04:14 - that V is literally a flying V 😂. 04:30 - dig those pants/leggings 05:10 - hell yeah you can shred on a keyboard! 05:45 - this kid can shred more than i ever could. keep at it and he'll definitely go far wtf. i also agree with jared's reactions 06:33 - slowed it down to make it heavier, i dig this. great entry. 07:20 - spoon man, come together with your hand and guitar. also loved how he changed the track 08:07 - thumb thumper ruled 08:50 - very tasteful mustache, oh and solo too. love it! lots of feeling of a song from this than how many notes you can play a second. 09:25 - wall of guitars probably still plays just one. seriously though, this one was awesome. 10:15 - probably the best entry yet! great backing track! i kinda wanna hear the rest of this song now lol. also amazing lighting this is a pro level music video! 11:20 - first female guitarist, and she kills it! 12:09 - distorted acoustic, dig this a lot. 12:45 - finger picking def need more of this in the contest! 13:23 - head tattoos. this guy is not human and actually an alien. not because of the tattoos but because he's great! 14:00 - this guy did his own backing tracks which just totally changed genres from the metal he was sent, then added this joe satriana like vibe on top of it that's super melodic and shreddy. super tasteful. 14:40 - you could say the guitar was a banger. 15:17 - no face had some great melody and vibe here! 16:00 - 'mlady' with an extended nice clean break 17:22 - kids these days are more and more talented than any other generation ❤. Someone please buy this kid a good camera he deserves it! 18:40 - rule #2 does not apply to him. 19:15 - the genre bending continues! samba metal! \m/ great job! love the out of the box thinking and creativity on entries like this. 20:50 - this gym studio guitarist is pretty cool and created some really interesting melodies and used a wammy bar tastefully. 21:30 - great shredding, could use a bit more melody the one teased towards the end with the harmonies was awesome. wanted it to keep going! 22:09 - fun tapping shred with some cool melody. 22:50 - dig the added percussion and triangle, but could have used more cowbell. great melodies here, was singing them after it ended.

Even though only handful of them will make it to The Grand Collab you still give all of them an opportunity to shine a little in these videos. God bless you mate.

Mladen's name goes as hard as his riff

[@Ottoni174]

Oliver is the goat, dude studied with me in highschool and was my neighbor for like 10 years or something, dude is the definition of when talent meets hard work

[@l4n1skyy]

i really enjoyed adam's one

[@fxhexcen]

I am the participant from minute 7:20! I'm so happy I was in this first video and saw Jared's reaction! If it is not among the finalists, I will surely get a spoons endorser for this video haha! I'm happy that Jared remembered that I was in the last Shred Collab ( I also did an intro solo on Jared's theme before this video in case anyone wants to go to my channel to listen to it) Good luck to all

[@MrBiosh0ck]

Davin Glover should enter for sure, there are a lot of people that play really well in here, but he just makes something different

[@Sirflynn]

[@skylarmccloud4080]

Jared: "I was just Bull Shittin, and you know this Man." 😂😂😂 We already know that you ain't missing Christmas. That'd be like putting Santa on child support.

[@tigerjay3521]

I honestly love having other musicians more frequently featured, Musicians Mansion and ideas like it are a very interesting and exciting direction for this channel, hope to see more!

[@fhatsk8er]

The “colosseum” is Red Rocks amphitheater as other people are confirming, it’s a legendary venue, I’d go to a show with you! No way I made it in here with all you insane shredders, don’t be surprised if I try to borrow some licks 🎸

[@aaronfrazier524]

Surprised he didn't know that

[@izakbou8651]

My votes are: 8:50 Lukas Kocka 11:17 Andrea Ferrero 9:22 Jeffrey Mensch 10:10 Kirill Mazhuga

[@jeffreliantmensch]

Wow, thank you. I feel I didn’t belong with most of the talent in this video, let alone anyone’s top 5, so thank you a ton.

[@ericjauregui3089]

Andrea Ferrero for sure!

[@g43s]
