n the context of an electric guitar, "shredding" refers to a virtuosic, highly technical style of playing the instrument, as exemplified by the virtuosos of the eighties such as Steve Vai, Yngwie Malmsteen or Michael Angelo Batio
Other guitarists include jason becker and marty friedman
____________________
The technique consists of complex fast speed picking and sweeping, performing lightning fast riffs and solos
____________________
It's popularity plummeted along with most other metal genres with the arrival of the very simple genre Grunge, which focused on talentless musicians who hadnt bothered to learn their instrument with the passion of shredders
____________________
It has been said that shredding is a very boring experience which focuses more on showing off than showing emotion, which is a description used only by people who do not understand guitar...It is a master class in how much energy and focus you should put into learning your instrument and should be admired not ridiculed...
______________________
Most recent shredders include dragonforce guitarist Herman Li and the very plain rusty cooley
Shred is not used in Nu Metal or other bland genres, which focus more on hip hop or electronic noises...shred is the music for people who have took time to master their skill on guitar

A band which was once thrash....during the 80s, then took a turn in the very early 90s and became Hard Rock, they have been declining ever since and have become a nu metal band, being the big boys amongst gay bands such as Linkin Park and mudvayne.
METALLICA
VVVVVVVVV
!!there may be a wah wah pedal in there....yes the weapon of choice by the average Kirk Hammett..the most overrated guitarist in "metal" the wannabe shredder...on the St Anger album he does not play any solos, there may be a few explanations 1)he lost his wah wah pedal and needs to sue some fans to get the money to replace it or 2)he saw some good guitarists like Steve Vai and Yngwie Malmsteen and thought ill never be like them i should just stop trying.
!!an 8 minute song with 1 riff, a de tuned E string riff which will go on forever, stop---and make you think a solos coming up but disappoint you again and go straight back into the riff
!!a drummer playing with dustbins
!!many many ugly ugly bassists
!!your friend gets taken to court for downloading, tut tut metallica at it again
!!when lars(drummer) says "we are the best thrash band on the planet" but then says a few years later "we can play what we want , we arent a thrash band"
!!they have went from wearing jeans, drinking beer on stage, having fights...to a gucci wearing group of millionaires fighting over who gets to fly the private jet
Metallica = shit thrash now nu metal
Megadeth = THE thrash band , 1,000,000 times better than craptallica

Neo Classical Guitarist
Created the genre known as "shred" in which the guitarist plays various difficult scales and harmonies...
Many people believe his music is repetitive and others think he is too arrogant for his own good
Yngwie J Malmsteen is a guitar god!
