That was a super fun long jam session! Thanks for the support everyone, enjoyed both videos on our channels and stay safe & healthy. We have to do more!!! - Herman
That was fantastic!! The whole thing was totally sick, but towards the end there, they really came together.. (phrasing-boom!) but that part sounded awesome!! 😂👏👏
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
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 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.
Somewhere in the beginning you see a couple of looks go back and forth and, at that moment they both knew, this isnt going anywhere, but they kept going and you can tell they had fun and I had fun watching it :P
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...
Rewind back 10years, would Jared have believed he was jamming with one of the guitarists from dragon force ha ha. This is sick! Great playing on both sides.
@@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.
Yeah, I don’t blame the less established guitarists for wanting to be able to work out their solos before they are introduced to Jared’s audience, but this was definitely a lot of fun.
@@jbsmetal8419 yeah lol i just jammed on it today then looked at my notifications and saw jared upload this video then i clicked it and i recognised it in the first second lol
Freaking awesome. The composition and flow here is some of the best I’ve heard. And it was really clean. This was live too!? This is much more enjoyable to me because of the live element for some reason. As opposed to the pre arranged version.
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.
@@David54534 Being a Davie504 fan I have to agree, sure Davie is impressive and Ive seen him play complex pieces on bass (playing classical music even) but Im having a hard time seeing him outperform someone on a level of Myung
@@necrosxd532 of course. he already beaten Herman Li, and Davie504. now to the next challenge before moving on to face the king of youtube musicians(at least imo) Rob Scallon. Muahaha!
Am I the only one, who is really curious how they managed to get rid of the latency (input + internet) and play in sync with the music and each other? Anyway, the video is sick, keep shredding!
This live format made the shred war way more entertaining. And they were already amazing so that is saying something. Love your content. Keep up the amazing work Jared
Man I would LOVE to see a shred war with Tim Henson. That would be such a cool collab. It'd be interesting to see how Jared would adapt to that style of playing.
Love to see your reaction as Herman is playing. I get you make that paper from this but seeing the gaze at his playing shows you're still 100% about the music. Here's my like and comment. Hope it helps
wow, great job both of you. I've always known Herman is a monster player, but it's great to hear him play slow. very very good. Jared keeps on getting better & better!
Bro that was sick I think that is the best I’ve seen you shred Jared you are getting even better at guitar it’s awesome to watch you grow your channel and just as a musician over the last 5 years
@@SICKYPOPP It's 100% the Mario Bros theme. He doesn't play it the whole way obviously. Just a little taste. He even laughs when he does the last note.

YAay
Fuckn a right
Herman Li is cool. Tell your friends
GOod smile good spirit
The way Herman harmonises with Jared is the most incredible thing, true jamming
Steve t doesn't Like this comment
You mean that one tapping part that Jared quickly stopped playing?
That was fantastic!! The whole thing was totally sick, but towards the end there, they really came together.. (phrasing-boom!) but that part sounded awesome!! 😂👏👏

herman plays well with literally everyone
Bröther hell yes

Wow it is slosh
Awesome! 🤘 Thanks for using my track
Man I love your tracks ❤️🤘
I love your tracks man! Following you in IG as well.
I warm up to your tracks basically every day before practicing to a metronome. Thank you :)
Keep up the great work!!
Your tracks are the best!
This was probably the most melodic shred wars ever. Major love
Idunno, Jared and Ola were in some sort of groove.
Because it was live.
I agree, I got some serious Maiden vibes from this video
I love how Herman make faces when Jared does his shred, a great muscian that appreciates what others make
My boy jared staying true to the pentatonic, let’s go
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.
How’s Jim
Hey just a sec ago I saw your comment on an office vid
Harshvardhan Bhatt what video lmao
Pam Beesly my bad srry lol😂
this doesnt sound like a war! its a masterpiece! petition to make this a single track!
#Mon Yeah yesss !
This more the way to end a war!
Hell yes!!!! 🤘
Lets be honest this is not shred wars this is just two dudes jamming with each other
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
This seems like the kind of thing synyster gates would be down to do. You should hit him up!
Let's just hope that Jared will make it happen.
Apparently Jared has been trying to include Syn on his channel for a while.
@@FartsTasteDelicious where did you get the info? I’d be stoked to follow all the updates
Plllleaseee yesssss
This would legit be awesome. What would Syn do if everyone just started DMing him about it like they did with Jared and OF? 🤔🤔
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.
How on earth are they playing roughly in time via the internet? Is that even possible, even with gigabit speeds?
@@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.
There is no loser in this contest. Everyone is better for having witnessed this
Can we be honest for once... everybody won after watching this.
Amen to that
Somewhere in the beginning you see a couple of looks go back and forth and, at that moment they both knew, this isnt going anywhere, but they kept going and you can tell they had fun and I had fun watching it :P
fuckin agree
Damn straight. This was badass from start to finish!
hahaha yeah
this is probably one of the most epic and historical guitar shed ever
I love how much fun Jared is having
I know right? He's having so much fun in this vid and I'm happy for him
Yeah even knowing damn well that is a shred war I could not win, I would be extremely beside myself getting to play with herman
Yep! He’s enjoying it all but I’m not sure I’m enjoying his moustache
I love seeing them happy and enjoying what they love doing
As one chat guy said: "EPICO"
That guy passing by
Slap it baby
O M G
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
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.
@Re.734:Kt "stealing the look of his signature" 🙄
It's black and gold not exactly groundbreaking
@@AidanXavier1 blue and black*
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...
Thats the magic of Herman! Or maybe its because great musicians vibe off each other while they're playing and get inspired?
Herman has more guitars than girlfriends i've ever had, because i've never had any.
rip
Sad lide
sad pepe is very sad
You'd think being named after a jeans company you'd be able to get into their pants...
He does have at least one... :))
Rewind back 10years, would Jared have believed he was jamming with one of the guitarists from dragon force ha ha. This is sick! Great playing on both sides.
When they join together around 4:50 is incredible.
I prefer hearing these live actually. More chemistry.
Agree big time, it has such a huge bro vibe idek
@njl4515 mate Jared is a great guitarist but he's nowhere close to Tim Henson don't compare them lol
Sai Dhruv it’s a different style, but you’re right. I like jareds style, it fits here
@@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.
Yeah, I don’t blame the less established guitarists for wanting to be able to work out their solos before they are introduced to Jared’s audience, but this was definitely a lot of fun.
This wasn't even a shred wars. This was two dudes bonding.
And making a BANGER SONG. 🤘
Stevie T is going to have a heart attack.
😂😂😂
Shhhh don't tell him 🤣🤣
Yeah 😂😂
RIP Stevie.
I can see his face now
I like when people talk through music. This is pure joy.
These guys just gave up on taking turns, and just started syncing up shredding 🤣🤣🤣
This was one of the greatest videos I've watched. Bless Herman for being such a humble legend. We need more.
Can we all recognize the fact that Jared is competing with Herman Lee and he also kills it on drums
Yes it’s a RUclips backtrack
dude search E minor metal backing track and you can find this lol
He got smoked but yeah he is good anyway 😉
@@burakakbulut3352 man, I was wondering why it sounded familiar lmao
@@jbsmetal8419 yeah lol i just jammed on it today then looked at my notifications and saw jared upload this video then i clicked it and i recognised it in the first second lol
The sexual tension between these 2 was so high it sounded like a guitar solo
Lol .
Well, that's a way to look at it.
Perhaps youtube isn't the only platform the will be "jamming" on.
@@alexandero9936 😂😂😂
Could cut it with a knife
Oh man the 'He won, no He won' comments are so stupid. This is just great to watch, takes 2 of them to make this so awesome.
Nah but he won
@@drumboarder1 yeah man but, no, he won.
@@Beiskraft good point and all but I'd say he won
@@drumboarder1 yeah that's what I said, he won.
@@Beiskraft look I understand but no, he won
This was made 3 years ago! and I just found this!! my god dude... the synchronized solos, bang on. Best part is it's all improv
Best part is when they started playing together!
Some quality good old fashioned jamming
Much prefer this live "warts and all" version of shred wars over the polished pre-recorded ones. Great shred jam session
Herman Li and John Myung are the embodiment of "No matter how good you are, there's always an Asian kid whose better than you."
Dude this is the best shred war video. This one was fun to watch! Good improvision by both of these guys.
This is no longer shred wars, this is a shred fest.
Shred season*
Shred team
Hell yeah, this was stupid fun to watch and looked like you boys had just as much fun making it 🙏 absolutely rips
All Jared needs is the sunglasses and he'll look like Dr Disrespect.
Bruh I see you literally everywhere
who
And a black wig of long, T H I C C hair.
You guys know he can't do that on Twitch.
@@brutal6129 the two time back to back, the founder of the champions club, the six foot eight great
You both win. Your harmonics fits almost every time you switch, and your different styles are actualy very good together
Where's the shred wars against Nik nocturnal
That needs to happen!!!
@St. Jimmy #truestStory lmao
NIk was a part of his "shred wars with fans" video , check it out .
@Anshul Guglani . Oh ok, thanks
Jared can easily crush nick jared skill is on another lvl
Wow, you both were awesome. Jared you keep getting better and better. I can't believe how good you have gotten. Keep it up man!
This is lowkey the way to do it. Herman Li is too talented XD
Lovely instruments and outstanding playing as usual. I had no doubt this would be awesome to watch.
This wasn't a shred wars, this was two amazing guitarists coming together and making it sound like a bloody orchestra.
This wasn't a war, this was peace ✌️
Freaking awesome. The composition and flow here is some of the best I’ve heard. And it was really clean. This was live too!? This is much more enjoyable to me because of the live element for some reason. As opposed to the pre arranged version.
I love how much you can tell Jared is enjoying this
by far my favorite one yet keep doing these ones
Now we need BASS battle: Davie504 vs Herman Li's evil twin brother John Myung
Kenji Maxilom How do you even contact John Myung? Does he even exist outside of Dream Theater?
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.
@@David54534 Being a Davie504 fan I have to agree, sure Davie is impressive and Ive seen him play complex pieces on bass (playing classical music even) but Im having a hard time seeing him outperform someone on a level of Myung
@@hexed5465 Yes, that's what I meant.
I think Charles Berthoud more skilled than Davie
and John Myung will slay Davie
jeez, this is too good to be a random shred video on youtube, you guys should collab and make a track or an album. I MEAN it!
Best way to motivate me to pick up guitar and put it down at the same time
By far the best shred wars ever.
Thank you so much for putting this on RUclips because I don't have twitch.
Jared neeeeds to do a shred war with The Dooo.
Bladedcloud 6966 I want Jared to be alive so I’m gonna say no
The Dooo is on a different level.
@@poppinfresh5261 sacrifices must be made. always.
@@necrosxd532 of course. he already beaten Herman Li, and Davie504. now to the next challenge before moving on to face the king of youtube musicians(at least imo) Rob Scallon. Muahaha!
How about jared vs synyster gates 🤙🤟
Dude, Jared is getting SO much better! He wasn't completely outclassed here like I kind of expected
I completely agree
Talent speaks volumes amazing talents on display here .thanku both of u .
Those aren't two musicians playing guitar, those are two musicians who let their guitars sing.
Gaaaay
Yeah live is awesome. Love seeing these shred wars but live takes it to a whole new level of confidence and power
Didn't expect this but now I want to see it more than i thought
One of the sickest guitar vids I've ever seen.
Am I the only one, who is really curious how they managed to get rid of the latency (input + internet) and play in sync with the music and each other? Anyway, the video is sick, keep shredding!
Thanks to Twitch's Low Latency mode and ofcourse good internet connection! :D
They use an app that plays music (backing track) to both at the same time and then afterwards they just sync up the video a little bit for youtube
check out parsec, they probably didn't use it but u can stream with like 30ms(almost invisible) of latency with it
its cos its prerecorded and they are just miming to guitarpro tracks
@@auto1nfanticid3 this was live I was on the stream
This video was so wholesome, thank you Jared and Herman!
Herman Li putting all those "Studio Force" haters to shame
I think most people used to complain about them playing live but they improved a lot on that matter too, specially with the current singer.
They used to be horrible live... not haters just honest
@@FuriousGeorge_ I saw them live 3 years ago and it was absolutely incredible.
@@harrisonmartin-wall3756 That's awesome, yeah they use to suck bad man but I know they've gotten way better
This live format made the shred war way more entertaining. And they were already amazing so that is saying something. Love your content. Keep up the amazing work Jared
Remember the days when people claimed Herman Li faked all his solos? Yeah, videos like this has put that to rest.
I remember salty guitar hero fans claiming the solo was impossible and that the track was sped up 😂
@@UpwardNinja damn, i bet he never watch any shred performance before
The best format for this
Stevie T must fill the triangle here
this is the 10th time I am watching this on repeat! it's so good man, probably the best shred war till now
Man I would LOVE to see a shred war with Tim Henson. That would be such a cool collab. It'd be interesting to see how Jared would adapt to that style of playing.
The way you two played together and followed off each other, and still harmonized to compliment each other was incredible!
Why does this give me a Buckethead vibe?!? So fkn sick!!
Love to see your reaction as Herman is playing. I get you make that paper from this but seeing the gaze at his playing shows you're still 100% about the music. Here's my like and comment. Hope it helps
Dayum, Papa Dines' tone is kickass!
Definitely way better than herman li's
@@phillipwhitford4064 Li's tone was sick too, sounded more old school, but Jared's tone hit just right 😁
This made me happy
Thanks man, so much rock!
Enjoyed every second
"I haven't won a single shred war" well have you seen who you've been up against? You'd have an easier time pushing a boulder up a hill.
I had a huge smile on my face the whole time watching the video. Thanks dudes!
Jared's still won more shred wars than I've had girlfriend's. Wait...
LOVE the new format - this is the logical next step in the Shred Wars series. Keep up the great work!
This is one of the sickest things ever!!!!
wow, great job both of you. I've always known Herman is a monster player, but it's great to hear him play slow. very very good. Jared keeps on getting better & better!
2:58 Jared: "I'm done"
Herman: "oh okay my turn"
Jared: "NOP measure hasn't ended yet lol"
Herman: "bruh"
one of the best things ive seen in a long time. amazing play boys. Jared you kept up so well, and Herman needs no explanation. Just amazing work
Jared: maybe I can win this one with my signature mustache
Herman: say what
Very nice to see you having so much fun together - with the same guitar! 😊🎸
WE WANT AN EPISODE WITH THEDOOO !!!!
By the way that one was awesome
You guys are amazing when it come to paying back respect to to supportive fans
This was beyond the most incredible way to wake up. Y E S. O N. S O. M A N Y. L E V E L S.
This might be the best video you've ever put out. Made me want to pick my guitar up... nice!
This shred wars looks a lot like a high-level jamming session
this was the best 1 on 1 shred ever. loved how the backing track played through and you two just mashed up lovely
Jared’s fast but he’s not Asian
Bro that was sick I think that is the best I’ve seen you shred Jared you are getting even better at guitar it’s awesome to watch you grow your channel and just as a musician over the last 5 years
I’m still waiting for Stevie to start a knock off called “triangle wars” lol
Precisions, feeling, Fun, speed, talent, two masters reunite! Keep good working. Greetings from Brazil, Sorry poor english!
Herman's parts sounds like classic nintendo family computer games background music. Really cool tho
I love that around 3:30 Jared loses the Tempo and then saves it really quickly and smoothly. Now that is great technique
Anyone else catch Jared playing the Mario theme?

I’ve never seen Jared this impressed! You’re something else Herman
Today's fact: Tigers have striped skin not just striped fur. The stripes are like fingerprints and no two tigers have the same pattern.
The video has been up for 8 seconds how tf have you done it 😂
😂😂😂
Skunks also have striped skin
thanks actually interesting
So there's a possibility that there is a tiger that has stripes that have a equal distance from each other.
Hell yes! Nevermind shred wars, watching these two jam was class, love it!
