The most satisfying thing to do with a guitar. There are non-believers, in this age of nu-school hiphop, rap metal and ska, but there will always be a cult devoted to the art in its truest form.

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?"

1. The art of Technically and rhythmatically hammering out amazing and lightning-fast solos on a guitar.
2. To play so amazingly fast on guitar you almost destroy it's strings.
"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".
