Herman I love these videos you've been doing with other players. It allows up to see another side of you and your guests. I hope you continue to do more of these in the future at some time.
Keep em coming Dragonforce! I'll be waiting for the Marty Friedman video :D Also holy shit those sweeps going into that sultry bend at 15:45 is killer!
Alex is awesome! And I have a great appreciation for Herman as well. Never really got into Dragon Force, but Herman def cares, and has respect for fellow guitarist. The auction for Jason Becker was cool to.
This might be my favorite guest yet. So glad you had Alex on your channel and introduced him to a few people. I loved Testament back in the day and their new stuff is even better. Brutal riffage with amazing leads.
Awesome video as usual. Love watching you guys play and learning more about music. I am always amazed at the caliber of playing in your videos.. Very impressive.
Love testament and Love Alex Skolnick. I got an album autograph of Practice what you preach when Testament came to Dallas back in the late 80's. Went to a special fan signing at a local mom/pop record store. There were probably 50 people there. The band has come a long ways.
I miss reading his editorials on...(it's been so long), I think Guitar World, and couldn't wait for the following edition every month. Testament and his Jazz on the side I didn't feel so bad playing Rock and Lounge music on the side where I played guitar in one, and drums in the other. You're classy guy to rock with Alex!
Great video. For all the people who are saying, He is the best or he is the best, it doesn't make sense in my opinion. You have two great guitar players. Let's absorb the best from both. TH-cam is really a phenomenal platform. Back in my youth you would only know a limited number of guitar players from the MTV video lol. Now we can see thousands upon thousands of great guitar players that most likely would never been known. Social media really helped the unknowns to demonstrate there are more guitar God's and Musicians of exceptional talent that would of disipeared in time and remained unknown to the world. The number of musician prodigies out in cyber land, . I'm just glad I'm still alive to witness and discover all these people I've would of never even seen or heard of.
A little late, but I went to a meet and greet at Fresno 2019, such a chill dude. Talked to him for all of 2 minutes but I’ll never forget that. Same with everyone in the band actually, but Sam and Herman are just fun dudes to talk to
The funny thing: on one reddit conversation, people were saying things like "Herman Li can only play shred metal guitar", and this was after the Covid streaming. Others came back with a link to 1-2 of the streams and said things like "no dude, he's doing a really good job at other styles!" So, if you stay with your genre, "Oh, he can only play that genre", or in the past, if you learned another genre "Oh, he's abandoning power metal"
These are the same people who say Sonata Arctica doesn't do Power Metal anymore despite their latest album having 3 power metal songs. Some people enjoy being miserable it's sad.
Alex Skolnick, The Howcast guy who teaches us to play guitar. Wow! He can play jazz and metal but his favorite 2 combinations. Nice collaboration by the way!
Herman, I love Your Videos, your videos are very interesting and fun, but I have a question, no several questions. Why didn't Dragonforce release more songs? or why did they dissolve? Is it because of the Covid-19 pandemic?
Thank you so much friends ! Such a honor for the second time !
Our pleasure!
Hey Sebastien. You make my favorite backing tracks on youtube. Keep up the good work!
@@dragonforce please herman invite synyster gate..
Herman I love these videos you've been doing with other players. It allows up to see another side of you and your guests. I hope you continue to do more of these in the future at some time.
He's been doing a TON of streams for this fundraiser, and he also said he will continue to have weekly guests after that as well, so I am excited!
his phrasing is so good god damn
Hermans Face when Alex perform his sweep picking arpeggios is so damn nice to watch... :-)
That’s what I was thinking, he was like... damn..
Alex is one of the best metal players ever. To me he is underrated. Herman please bring another beast to your show - Jeff Waters!!
One of the best streams this was, Alex was so good and enthusiastic about jamming online, really looked like he had a good time!
thank you Alex!!!! my favorite guitarist growing up saw testament live a few times
I love the fact Herman respects him. He let's Alex play and just adds accents. It says a lot about him. Very respectful to his fellow guitar players.
musicians of multiple genres always, always blow my mind.
Alex is so underrated guitarist!!! but is awesome that great guitarist recognized him of how amazing he is
He's a guitarist's guitarist
This right here perfect sense 👆😅
Alex Skolnick is a fuckin beast
He is both metal and jazz. He's a beast of a player ;)
Brilliant segment.
Keep em coming Dragonforce! I'll be waiting for the Marty Friedman video :D
Also holy shit those sweeps going into that sultry bend at 15:45 is killer!
I like how you been sounding together, solos were naturally flowing in between you two. Great performance.
12:51 music is for the ears. Great video. Living legend Skolnick! \m/
This is gonna be good!
Wow! This was my first experience with Alex and I'm legit blown away! Going to be binging his music for sure
I hope you did haha Alex is far and away one of my favorite players. His solo on practice what you preach is still in my top 5
Alex is awesome! And I have a great appreciation for Herman as well. Never really got into Dragon Force, but Herman def cares, and has respect for fellow guitarist. The auction for Jason Becker was cool to.

Man, what a great interview!
Skolnick was one of my all time favorites! He's only got better then the rest of the top thrash guitarist
Alex has such great feel
I gotta say man, you have the BEST thumbnail captions on all of TH-cam imo.
Love the slam on Poison. Big fan of Alex.
Awesome video as usual. Love watching you guys play and learning more about music. I am always amazed at the caliber of playing in your videos.. Very impressive.
Alex has amazing phrasing, I equate that to his jazz influence.
Excellent video. Two awesome guitar players
brooooo, you need to collab with The Art of Guitar
Love testament and Love Alex Skolnick. I got an album autograph of Practice what you preach when Testament came to Dallas back in the late 80's. Went to a special fan signing at a local mom/pop record store. There were probably 50 people there. The band has come a long ways.

11:33 Herman nails it.
great work
Alex's sweeps...holy fuck
I never get tired of Alex playing.
Alex Skolnick. One of the best guitar players.
It's not a competition
@@cleftturnip7774 did i said it was?
@@agadunsmall saying best implies it
@@cleftturnip7774 "one" of the best.
@@stillteam5861 yeah and wtf does best mean?
15:46 now that’s how you sweep kids!
Wow really great phrasing and melodic lines from Alex
It’s funny he mentioned Poison. Richie kotzen was in poison and he’s a helluva fusion player (if he wants to)
Great video.
For all the people who are saying, He is the best or he is the best, it doesn't make sense in my opinion.

Wow
Alex is a beast
Consistent Excellence over the years
I don't know what Herman is like off camera, but he seems like he would be a chill dude.
A little late, but I went to a meet and greet at Fresno 2019, such a chill dude. Talked to him for all of 2 minutes but I’ll never forget that. Same with everyone in the band actually, but Sam and Herman are just fun dudes to talk to
this guys voice is metal af
You can definitely see and hear the jazz influence in Alex's playing, which is awesome!
The funny thing: on one reddit conversation, people were saying things like "Herman Li can only play shred metal guitar", and this was after the Covid streaming. Others came back with a link to 1-2 of the streams and said things like "no dude, he's doing a really good job at other styles!"

Testament rocks so hard!
Awesome player! Skolnick is great!
Les gooo

Alex is amazing. Testament for the win, freaking Thrash gods!!
"Jazz Guitar Player vs Metal Guitar Player"
"Did he betray metal?!"
*Dave Mustaine sneer*
Two great blokes, talkin and jammin.
Alex Skolnick, The Howcast guy who teaches us to play guitar. Wow! He can play jazz and metal but his favorite 2 combinations.
Nice collaboration by the way!

Alex is an absolute beast still 🤘🏻
You should do a video playing semi hollow body
when thrash brings style
🤘🤘🤘🤘
I was searching for the comment about that tongue taping at 15:39
Hey Herman you should definetly make an audition for Nanowar of steel... that would be hilarious 😂😂😂
I gave this video a 👍 just because of ALEX.
What programs do they use to play together online?
👍👍👍
@Elias Viljanen see if you shred with Herman he can teach you how to set up a Twitch channel so we can watch you play the banjo.
herman, as a fans to all guitarist. I would like to ask you to please invite mr.Synyster gate, I'm sure it will be more interesting 🤘
Not a big fan of Dragonforce, but Herman is such a monster player. And of course, there's Alex.
Testament and Alex are STILL kicking ass. One of the best trash metal bands of all time. Greetings from Montreal. :)
👍
Alex is a good guitarists
Hope to see you jam with Marty Friedman
