that CHARLIE ROBBINS dude was lit

6 years of shred collabs! 🏆 So many jaw dropping performances this year by phenomenal players. Thanks for including me again! 🤘🏻

That middle finger tremolo by Brandon was really badass though 0:40

That Marcin guy… FIREEEEEEE

Duuuude, Charlie Robbins and the pick flick into his mouth... that's the jawdrop moment of this year!

Honestly wasn't emotionally ready for Nik amd Paula to hit us with The Simpsons in harmony

Cheers for having me Jared!! Everyone absolutely smashed this one 🔥🔥

I have two daughters I am teaching to play now, and seeing all these females shredders on here is very inspiring to them and myself!

The Doo and Charlie Robbins back to back was the bomb.

6:45 Thanks again for having me Jared. To be among all these kick ass shredders, I'm not worthy...

Now, that's how you celebrate Christmas! 0:01 Brandon Acker 0:55 Clayton King 1:36 NINI Music 1:55 the dooo 2:16 Charlie Robbins 2:35 Josh Meader 2:56 Paula Carregosa and Nik Nocturnal 3:16 Matteo Mancuso 3:37 Charles Berthoud 3:57 Scottie Lepage 4:43 Bernth 5:04 Rob Scallon 5:24 Sophie Burrell 5:44 Yo Onityan 6:05 Michael Angelo Batio 6:25 Steve Terreberry 6:45 Ola Englund 7:05 Jon Dretto 7:48 Mike Dawes 8:18 Marcin 9:14 Tramaine Jonathan 9:35 Syndrone 9:56 AliceIMusic 10:16 Angel Vivaldi 10:36 Baxty 10:56 Jesse Michel 11:16 Joel Hoekstra 11:37 Ingi Porisson 11:57 Matt Heafy 12:37 Vixen's Diary 12:57 Spiro Dussias 13:17 Stephen Taranto 13:38 Nick Hipa 13:58 Tyler Larson 14:18 Doc Coyle 14:38 Sarah Joanne 14:58 Kiki Wong 15:19 Jared Dines 15:39 Bradley Hall 15:59 Cole Rolland 16:19 Jimena Fosado 16:39 Borja Mintegiaga 17:00 Alessandro Zilio 17:20 Jack Woodman 17:40 Rob Chapman 18:00 Joey Bradford 18:20 Hayden Maringer 18:41 Hedras 19:01 Drewsif 19:21 Ben Eller 19:41 John Matos 20:02 Andrea Ferrero 20:36 Kirill Mazhuga 21:16 Avery Green 21:36 Ben Rabha 21:57 Davin Glover 22:17 Tom Fountainhead 22:37 FX Hexcen 22:59 Luke Jeansonne 23:19 Max Van Esch 23:39 Maxx Blois-Rosetti 24:00 Noah Crenshaw 24:21 Oliver Christian 24:43 Renne Haapanen 25:03 João Pedro Stipp 25:23 Ernest Mel Viajeros Polares

I love Mike Dawes - Marcin - Tramaine - Syndrone part. Mike's part has such a nice atmosphere and vibe, then Marcin starts with a little dissonance to it, but becomes very catchy as well, and sets up Tramaine for his solo, which is sooo good, that I feel the urge to kick something on that first bend. Then it continues smoothly, to very interesting sounds from Syndrone. And of course, mad skills from everybody.

Marcin always blows my mind as well.

The greatest shred tradition of the year, thanks for having me J!!

I like how bernth put tabs like anyone else could play that😂

The intro from Brandon Acker is fuckin phenomenal. Love it❤

Clayton King really killed it. Probably my favourite guitarist in this collab

These shred collabs are a true timestamp of guitar’s evolution through time. It’s an honor to be amongst such astounding players each year… I’m eager to see what these look like in the next 5 collabs! May these continue to inspire generations of guitarists and new musicians to come. Thanks for having me back, bb 😇

You've done it again, Jared! My lute and I were honored to be included again this year :) Merry Christmas 🎄🌟🎸

Marcin is literally another class of guitarist

1:55 I love how this guy named "The dooo" comes in like "dooo dooo dooo, dooo dooo dooo, dooo dooo dooo dooo dooo."

Merry SHREDSMAS!

And the video editing/directing award goes to... 10:27 that glorious close up of those 4 notes landing on their 4 vibrating strings! That stuff looked as glorious as the solo sounded! GG, AV!

Angel Vivaldi carried the whole colab, not by shreds, but by beautiful solo

3:16 thanks again for having me Jared! Merry Christmas to everyone ❤🎄🎸

Paula and Nik coming in with the Simpsons theme, followed by Drewsif later with Smashmouth, has made my year lmao

22:52 bro really just whipped out a SPOON and SHREDDED with it! Im in ah, always love the largest collabs, thanks for the hard work Jared !

@JaredDines Please don't ever stop doing these. I know they have to be an insane amount of work, but what you and everyone involved are doing, is proving that being a musician is being part of a family, and musicians family is not just one genre, or just one instrument. I realize these collabs are first and foremost metal, which I love, but you allow for other cultures to be a part of it. For me personally, I am a jazz and classical pianist, but I absolutely love to learn a new songs, then transform it into another genre. And you do the same by having classical guitarists, like @Marcin, come in and absolutely kill it. The lutes, the Asian instruments, that I can't remember the proper names to.

I’m so proud of you son! Congrats to you and your wonderful friends! Love, Dad

Matteo mancuso is just flexing on everyone else at this point 😂

3:16 wtf was that???? Thats clean as hell.. HOLY SHIT!

So glad to be part of it! This jam is so incredible, Thank you Jared 🫶

Jared Inserting himself there as "Nik Nocturnal Award Winner" got me laugh out so loud my wife thought I am having a seizure. Jared you are a legend loooooooooooooooooooooool

Thank you to Ola and Steve for remembering that wonderful thing - melody!

19:00 Buying an Abasi just to play Smash Mouth, what a fucking legend.

Thanks for the invite mate. Such a sick collection. We should do this live someday 🎉❤

Thanks for having me, and thanks to everyone for watching!

Everyone: plays guitar Matt heafy: 11:58

Marcin and Brandon Acker 😍

24:22 Heeey! I hope you all enjoy my Samba Shred 😁💃 Thanks once again for having me, Jared! It's really special to be featured here with so many talented people! Super fun to take part of this collab! 🤘 Thanks everyone for the support! Merry Christmas 🎅🎄❤🎸

1:35 Thank you for the honor of being part of this years collab Jared! Feels amazing to be able to have my Asian Folk instruments in here with all these amazing musicians 🖤🙏🏼! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I’m going to be 100% honest, I was expecting and anticipating this to be good, but I wasn’t expecting it to be THIS GOOD. It was a very good blend of chug, acoustic, speed, etc. Loved it! Great job to all who participated!

This is amazing. When I saw the time, I didn’t think I’d last through the entire video, but just when I thought I might do something else, either one of my favorites would show up or some new-to-me content creator grabbed my attention with something amazing. Great job you guys!

Thanks for having me, Jared! So sick to shred next to all these amazing players! 💙

My solo was at 24:01 🙏🏽 Super stoked to be a part of this again, everyone was so good!!🔥

Matteo is on another level!Thanks jared for all those wonderful gifted musicians coming together under one banner..

Biggest fan here. This is insane collabs of the most iconic musicians in RU-vid!

Magnificent. Love finding new amazing players through videos like this.

I love how Bernth gives us tabs even here😁 My man👍👍

matt heafy giving the diversity using shamisen..love it!

Everything was so well meshed in together! ❤️‍🔥 beautiful collab!! 🖤🤘✨

Thanks so much for asking me to be a part of this, Jared! I’m honored to be included..🙏🙏🤘🎸🔥

I just can't imagine true Christmas without Jared's Shred collab :)

You were all amazing , thanks for creating such awesome performance where i have listened and seen unimaginable things❤❤❤

22:50 Spoon technical 🔥🎸

That's me at 21:16 eee !! Such a blessing to have been part of this !!

The opening intro with the lute from Brandon is heavenly

Amazing talent across the board. Thanks guys and gals !!!! 👍🏼

Fountainhead was super unexpected for me, but such a welcome surprise. Thanks Jared!

Thanks for having me take part Jared, everyone was amazing! 🥹❤️‍🔥

Nik and Paula shredding together made this collab even more Christmassy.

I love how the old guys look like they are barely moving, but they are absolutely melting their guitars

I cried while watching this, thanks for such an amazing collab!

Drewsif just subtley infected everybody's minds with All Star by Smashmouth and dipped...

Thanks again Jared for putting together this incredible collab and congrats to all of the amazing players that were featured! Also, thanks to You for the amazing support!

So stoked to be a part of this. Thanks a ton for having me 🖤🙏🏻 Everyone’s entry’s were absolutely insane this year🤯

Was introduced to Marcin from last years version. Loved every second of his performance this time around too

So many incredible shredders nowdays, keep it up!

22:59 thank you so much for including me in this years shred collab Jared! It’s honestly kind of surreal seeing my name up there next to some of the best players I know. It’s moments like this that help me stay positive, keep me motivated, and keep me going with wanting to do better. Seeing people like you appreciate what I do only makes me want to further push my playing/writing abilities, and that’s exactly what I plan to keep on doing 🙏🏻 Once again thank you so much for having me be a part of this, and thank you to all of the other players that contributed to making this years shred collab as good as it is. Merry Christmas everyone 🎄❤️

Amazing the combination of such raw talent. You all ROCK!!!

So many legends in a single video. Fantastic 🤘

13:19 thanks so much for having me for another year! God I love shredding so much 🤯❤️‍🔥✨

I still think Clayton King is one of the most underrated guitarists man

7:46 “Now something relaxing” 8:19 Marcin shredding like a god

That Simpson collab riff went hard!!!!!!

Jon Dretto is off the FUCKING chain, Christ is that guy great at guitar....🤘

I SWEAR The Dooo is everywhere there's a guitar for F's sake duuuude!!!! (love the dude btw, stay epic!)

Thanks for having me again Jared!! Honored to shred alongside some of the best 👏🏻🙏🏻

Such an honour to be included in this awesome collaboration again! Thanks again for everyone’s support and hope you all have a great Christmas! 🙏🏼🎄

I can’t wait for the next collab! I always enjoy these so much 😊❤

Just FN Awesome! Love seeing all the different styles together

12:37 Thanks so much for having me! My first one, everyone sounds so sick, merry Christmas shredders

Matteo Mancuso, That was insane. Everyone else was top tier, but that dude is on another level

Great vidz, made my day, thanks! I love how you go into new avenues/musical styles while remaining metal rooted. Next year I'd love an opera singer vocalizing in the collab ;-) All the best to you in 2024, Sir!

Can I just say, I haven’t heard of a lot of these people, but that Rob Scallon section absolutely blew me away, LOVED that animation and music!!

You can really hear the influence Polyphia has had on a few of these Guitarists, their style bleeds through in some of the tracks (not to mention Scottie is literally in the video xd)

Really proud to be a part of this. Thanks so much everyone (Im not in this and can't play guitar at all)

Some many amazing shredders 💯💯💯 Thank you Jared for doing this 🙏😇

Had my favorite parts but that is purely a taste thing. Monster playing by everyone involved in this and the logistics around making something like this blow my mind, hats off to the producers. Thanks for sharing!

I’m so happy that the Nik Nocturnal 2023 first place Award winner Jared Dines was able to put together so many talented musicians 💙🔥🔥

Well the years start coming and they don’t stop coming! Lots of shooting stars breaking the mold in this video, Jared! I know I aint the sharpest tool in the shed, but thanks for letting me look kinda dumb with my finger and my thumb in the shape of an L on my forehead at 19:02.

Charles Berthoud, so melodic! Marvelous!

Woah... in 2024, i need more pratice ! You are all legends, god level! Hahaha thats was amazing

Marcin, he is a legend 😮🔥🔥🔥
