7:12 Imagine being the last two members of a dungeon exploring team who can still fight, and the bard drops this banger

I wonder how many are here solely for the Lute.

Haha this has to be one of the most insane shred collabs yet 🤣 amazing playing from everyone, thanks so much for having me - an honour as always!! 🙏🏻🔥

7:50 Behold! Verily, the lute doth shred!

I love the mindfuck part (Manuel, Marcin, Brandon). Wtf are these musicians? Insanely talented.

This is not a shred collab anymore, this is a whole music festival

I’m so proud of you son! Thanks for letting dad hang out with you and your friends!

Thank you so much for having me on this. Absolutely amazing work of shred by Jared, putting this together. It is incredible to see all the players on this, everyone is extremely talented!!! Merry Xmas and happy new year! Best wishes and success in 2023 and beyond to everyone who performed and watched! - @HermanLi

Marcin and Manuel - godlike level, Rafa, Annie, Brandon and Charlie - beautiful, everyone in this collab - outstanding!

I wouldnt even get tired if it comes to the point where these videos will last hours long due to the fact that more and more talent is bound to show up in the future.

Thanks for having me join the collab, Jared! Amazing work putting this together.👏 👏 👏

Thanks for having me so I can react to the reaction of guitar playing

Brandon acker was great. I love classical music, that peace he has gotten the inspiration from is one of my favourite songs to play.

man.. Allan Gogoll’s harmonics were INSANE! very surprised not much people talk about it

When the only lyrics in an over 30 min song is "SWEEP MAN HELP ME" followed with "NO", you know youve found the right song to play on your deathbed

So much SHRED 🤯 Insanely amazing performances from everyone, thanks so much for having me 🤘

Bro. That Mike Dawes intro. And that transition from Manuel to Marcin. I am rock solid rn

This is the first time i've heard of pretty much any of these people.KZfaq randomly sent me a video from the guy that played the lute and from there I found out about this collab video. Oh my gosh from start to finish it's like the notes trapped my brain in a cage and I couldn't stop listening! This is fantastic, and I look forward to watching the previous ones!

Thanks for including me in this collab, Jared! Always a great time working on things with you! My segment is at 22:05 for anyone looking for it!

Spiro Dussias threw in a "Careless Whisper" at 23:44 to prove that you can shred just about anything. Amazing job from all involved! Listened front to back in one take, and it was awesome!

1:45 I can't get over the fact that Dan Sugarman's entire solo sounded like he listened to every entry from last year's collab and said "Alright I'm doing all of those"

So much fun! Thanks for having me, Jared! Merry Christmas everyone!!! 💜✨

Thanks for having me x2 ❤Such a blast to be a part of 🙏 Will try and pull this off live on the USA tour in Feb 😅

No one understands never in the time line of humanity has there ever been such a collaboration of talent such as this.

Manuel and Marcin WTF!! Unbelievable talent

Best Shred Collab yet! Thanks for having me & Happy Holidays everyone! 🎉🎁

Todo un honor poder participar en esta collab, Muchas gracias Jared. 🤟17:09

Universe: How charismatic do you want to be? Marcin: Yes

The acoustic segments were definitely a much needed reprieve. Great stuff.

Trust me, writing 3 solos for one collab wasn’t easy haha but it was totally worth it! I can’t be happier to be a part of this amazing roster at 21:33. Thank you so much again Jared Dines for having me another year! And thank you to every single one of you, my fam, friends, and my entire Bangladeshi crew! You know I love you! 🫵👊❤

Shred collab every year never fails to drop jaws. Stopped playing 20 years ago but just Marcin’s part makes me want to break my old BC Rich of the storage room and start teaching myself all over again. Jared, you did it again! 👏👏🔥🔥

Love coming back to any of these shred videos. After watching the 6th version and got recommended the 5th one there's a clear difference in standard and who was in the 5th one. It's way better than the 6th.

Was an honour to be involved, thank you Jared and Merry Christmas everyone 🫶

Thanks for having me, it was an honor and a pleasure te be here among the most talented musicians on the planet 🙌🏻🔥

Marcin has to be the most insane acoustic guitar playing I've ever seen

That guitarist! And that one! That one, too! Man, volumes could be written about all of the players. I can't write about a single one. What an exceptional compilation. What a treat.

So honoured to have been in this, everyone’s solos were so cool! Thanks again for having me do a lil shred Jared! 🫶🏻🎸

The part where Herman Li flipped me off was the best.

Onyx Morales' part with that crazy whammy bar vibrato hammer-on solo was definitely a highlight. Everyone put it so much effort and time to make this the most epic collaboration yet!

I absolutely love Bradley hall and his goofiness lol..everybody kicked ass and did a hell of a job

What a blast! Honored to collab with such an amazing group of talented people. Merry Xmas everybody 🎸🔥 que bestia! Extra hug to Jared for putting this together!

Absolutely MAGNIFICENT lineup, best collab yet! Always so stoked to be a part of these, love you dude

Ichikas part with the synthtar was super sick. Really clever to use weird stuff to help stand out, even though way too many people crushed it to name them all.

marcin gave me goosebumps on a whole different level

I dont see a lot of people mentioning Mike Dawes as the intro to this whole thing. Jesus that was such a nice intro, beautiful combination of both acoustic and electric. His was my fave

Thank you so much for having me be a part of this at 29:58 Jared! It still honestly blows my mind how I managed to be one of the top 10 winners in the shred collab contest even after all this time to process it. This whole thing has seriously been a dream come true. If you had told 14 year old me that 4 years later I would be playing in a Jared Dines shred collab video shredding along with some of my favorite players and biggest inspirations of all time, I would’ve NEVER believed you. But here we are. Once again thank you so much Jared for this incredible opportunity and for making this whole thing possible, and thank you to everyone else who was a part of this video for helping to create what I think is quite literally the best shred collab we’ve ever seen. Merry Christmas y’all 🎄❤️

Well, that was probably the most epic 40 minute display of musical talent possible. So many phenomenal musicians, and I don't want to downplay any of the musicians. The breadth of styles alone made it incredible. Charles Berthoud, The Doo, and Marcin are the 3 musicians that actually led me to finding so much great music including these collabs, so that's my nod to them, and beyond that, thank you all for coming together for content so good it can only ever be matched by the next collab installment. *tips hat* .... *exits stage left*

I was about to say Manuel killed it (he did), and then I heard Marcin… that was genuinely the best.

Can we all take a moment to appreciate that content like this is free

Marcin playing looks like magic. Truly mesmerizing

Annie Shred’s cat was such a highlight. In all seriousness though, I came here for Brandon Arcker and Bernth, and now I’m a fan of nearly every bruh and bruhette in this compilation.

The level of talent in this video is out of this world.

Honored to be along side so many amazing players! Thank you for having me back Jared! I’ll be doing a video on Steve Vai’s Rack Of Wham soon!!! 17:52 for mine 🤘

That was so much fun!! Everyone killed it. Stoked to have been invited man 💚💚

Missed this when it came out... It tickled my brain in so many ways 🥳🎉

This is downright amazing. Been a huge fan since the first collab, and these have only gotten better as time's progressed.

My solo is at 27:47 !! Thanks again Jared for the opportunity to be in this project. It really means a lot and it’s awesome to be playing alongside all of these other super talented musicians

Onyx Morales' usage of the tremolo bar at 16:57 blew my mind! My God what a player! Everyone else did an incredible job too!

Hayden's solo at 17:52 is so damn good. And not even just the solo alone but how everything sounds together

Man I really hope we'll get one this year ! This was amazing and I'm coming back to watch it regularly 😍

Bradley coming in clutch with the chaotic energy as always.

My personal favourite is Hayden Maringer on this one, he absolutely kills it!

Marcin, is just visiting us from a parallel universe. That's how they play over there. And Brandon Acker is a time traveler.

Im so glad Alan was put in this year, his technique is heavenly!

Everyone crushed it.... The section with Manuel and Marcin is absolute cherry on top!

Thanks so much for having me, Jared. What an insane lineup! Incredible! 🤘👍

this Marcin guy is beast

Bruh, My Lead Guitarist is in here, and it just absolutely blows my mind!! Jordan is a killer, and earned his place in here among the other Gods and Legends!

My guy Marcin changed the tuning while playing 😭 so fire, everyone is so insanely talented

Very humbled to be part of this fantastic selection of artists! My part is at 29:38 and fun fact my pinky is still completely raw from the blister. Happy holidays and sorry for your ears, everybody!

Marcin is something special man, damn

Jared, thank you. With your collab videos, I have found so many great players that I didn’t know about. This time it was Allan Gogoll and his insane harmonics that blew my mind.

Merry Christmas to all of you and I'm glad to be part of this collab! 8:07 to be honest , I don't breath during my solo XD Was super cool seeing the a lot of the Kiesel Family and discover others super creatives guitar players, thanks Jared for this! Insane solo of yours as well and great to see you playing Strat model lml

What an honour 🙏🏼 Thanks again Jared for making this happen, and giving us the opportunity! Such an honour to be amongst the best guitarists on the planet 🌎 🎸 04:46 🎸💙 merry Christmas everyone!

My (new) top 5: 1. Marcin 2. Manuel Fernandes 3. Nita Strauss 4. Herman Li 5. Jared Dines

Yooooo I Built The Sky came out of nowhere to be my favorite this round. Amazing gathering of some wildly talented folks, guys. Nicely done!

Absolute madness from everyone🤝🥵

This collab really has become a christmas tradition

So far that Marcin kid murdered it.

The production quality on this is INSANE! The talent is unmatched. My family stared at me making faces at this (IDK how some of these artists do this with a straight face!!).

God Bernth's solo was such a breath of fresh air, such tasteful playing

This is one of the coolest things the guitar community does each year. I love it!

29:58 Why has no one paid attention to this guy? dude has some great technique

"Sweep-Man help me!" *Shredding casually* "No" took me off guard so hard 😂😂😂

Brandon Acker's piece was poetry. It felt like a journey through the most beautiful landscape in a fantasy medieval setting.

Brandon Acker Nailed it! Medieval Bard style, love it, thanks Jared! today i am discover another great talented musicians~! ❤‍🔥💯

I just spent the last 36 minutes and 52 seconds with my mouth agape. Just...wow. soooooo much talent in one place. My mind almost couldn't take lol. Well done everyone.

Manuel Gardner Fernandez is AWESOME! That song is now my new ringtone 😍🎶👌

Thanks so much for having me Jared. 26:52 Humbled to be amongst so many INSANE guitarists!

I’m 32 and been playing since I was 12. And I can’t recall the last guitar player to truly blow me away like Marcin. His spot last year was breathtaking and this years truly inspired me Edit: This is the best shred collab to date. And Ive been watching these every year since the first.

damn its such a good way to discover new artists, marcin got my attention cuz they were cooking right there!

This is the best shred collab by far. So many beastly players this year, both popular and lesser known peeps

This isn’t a shred collab; this is the bow wave of the art of guitar. The best thing in the history of guitar youtube. Thank you to every artist that shared their stuff.

Not a single one was short of amazing! (More than amazing!) Every single one of you absolutely SHRED!

Ola's shred was just 😍😍😍 lots of dynamic and melody ❤️🖤❤️

Brandon Acker addition was sick. Love the eclectic talent 🔥🔥🤘🏻🤘🏻
