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

Get the shred mug.Guitarist for metal band metallica. Started guitar at age 15 playing in a few bands, most famous are probably exodus, he then was asked to join metallica.
A famous guitarist in the metal world, even though he isn't very impressive, most of his guitar solos are very average and he is praised only because metallica are the most famous metal band.
For some other better metal guitarists, listen to marty friedman or dimebag darrell

Get the Yngwie Malmsteen mug.The worst excuse for a "Metal" band in the history of the world
Pop Rock group who sing about the same things, how they feel hurt, how they are misunderstood....Just like their fans think their lives are like.
They are millionaires and still moan and say they are sad...to get more money.
Fans are usually 13 year old "skaters" who think its hardcore and non mainstream...
Pathetic...Hopefully they "breakup" like all other boy bands
