I can offer hundreds of guitarists and styles I would rather listen to. Shred guitar as defined below just does not work for me. Give me Blue Oyster Cult or give me deathtomusic.
Shred guitar refers to a guitar playing style where technical proficiency is used to maximize (and sometimes specifically demonstrate) speed, often in a neoclassical framework. Beginning in the 1980s, shred guitar began to appear in a heavy metal sub-genre known as neo-classical metal, since it often involved phrases and techniques reminiscent of Classical music. - Wikipedia
