Becoming a YouTube Star
Before becoming a full-time YouTuber, Jared Dines worked as a recording engineer. He started his YouTube channel in 2011 to help promote his band at the time, They Charge Like Warriors.

He also became known for playing metal versions of pop songs. His audience grew even more when he started working with other YouTubers like Rob Scallon.
Jared Dines and Steve Terreberry had a friendly competition. They became known for playing guitars with a crazy number of strings! In 2017, Jared tried to buy a 17-string guitar but was tricked by a fake builder. Luckily, he later received a special 18-string guitar as a gift. He showed it off at a big music event in 2018. Steve Terreberry then showed off a 20-string guitar in 2019! Their fun competition ended with a charity auction for these unique guitars.
