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
