  • Totally agree, although Page and Beck I guess were the shredders of their day.


    For me melody and phrasing is king, regardless of how slow or fast you play. I do actually like some of Yngwie's playing, did have some feeling which can get lost in the flurry of notes...


    I'm also confused with this talk of mixomatosis and aeolies? Are you saying there are scales other than Pentatonic? What is this world you talk of ? :)

    Nope.


    McLaughlin & Al Di Meola were the "nerd-shredders" of this era..

  • I always assumed McLaughlin was 80's, didn't realise he was around in the 70's....

    He got recognized with Miles Davis on "Bitches Brew" :thumbup:

    Then with his own band Mahavishnu Orchestra. Check out

    "Inner Mounting Flame" :thumbup: , "Birds of Fire" :thumbup::thumbup: and

    "Visions of The Emerald Beyond" :thumbup::thumbup: His best vinyl albums IMO 8)


    Cheers !

    The adjective for metal is metallic. But not so for iron ... which is ironic.

    “The interesting or sad or weird thing about shred guitar is that for years and years, rock ’n’ roll was primarily rooted in this idea of deep personal emotional self-expression and the trauma of the black experience. And soloing was supposed to be this sort of anguished cry – that’s what Eric Clapton and all the British Invasion guitar players were trying to replicate.

    “But I don’t think American kids could relate to that for even a second. And there’s no reason why they should have. So what did the guitar become? It became this sort of extension of what high school kids were into – it became sports."

  • Speaking of early shredders, have you guys heard this one from 1968, Sabre Dance.

    My first vinyl 45´er back then ( my second was 24 or 6 to 4 by Chicago ( Terry Kath )

    and my 3´rd was Albatross by Fleetwood Mac ( Peter Green ) ..... Memories .... :)

    Dave Edmunds as a shredder ?? Why not :huh: Here we go :

  • Paul Jackson died less than a week ago, I'm sorry to say.


    Probably best known for his work as part of the band The Headhunters.


    Great groove and playing on this fine example from the 1975 album Survival of the Fittest. It destroys the 2003 version made with Herbie on Evolution Revolution.


    RIP, Paul. ;(
