What is shred?

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

"Shredding" as it is known is limited to the "True" Musicians and as such is not known to shitty Bands/Musicians of lesser talent, IE. Nu-Metal does not, can not and will not ever have shredding present in it's down-tuned watered down style of crap called "music".

Herman "SHRED" Li is one of the fastest guitar shreddars on the planet! \m/

Shred

A guitar playing style or technique that was abandoned in the late 1980's.

The board of directors at MTV decided that learning to "shred", as it were, took too much time, patience, and work to do correctly, and thus was banned in early 1992, in favor of more lucrative cookie cutter style bands, with a higher turnover rate.

MTV Exec 1: "Aw come on. Shred is cool."

MTV Exec 2: "Yes, but look here. In the time it takes to teach one guy how to shred well, we can raise and kill off four three-chord bands, OR seventeen boy-bands!"

MTV Exec 1: "Well holy shit on rye, Steve! Who needs shred anyways?"
