The Birth of Shred

[* velcro-fly *]

Ritchie Blackmore was the birth of shred imo

Listen to / See the above and below video....Jimmy Bryant was Blackmore's favorite guitar player

That confirms it. Al is a dick of the highest order.

I would have to agree to anyone that would paint a vintage '59 Gibson Les Paul sunburst in black. That's about as bad as Ted Nugent carving his name into his '59 Gibson Les Paul and now he's trying to sell it. Who would want to buy a vintage guitar with someone's name carved into the body?

Guitar George

still think this is where it grew from. John influenced so many later guitarists

Wasn't classical music the true birth of shred with all those fast violin and piano runs/arpeggios?

Pretty much...you could say Paganini was a front runner, for sure

Shreddy mcshredster to me is Paul Gilbert. Non stop middly middly- middly middly at 160 bpm! I gave up attempting to do that. He did a class after Al; Much nicer guy, down to earth and very humble. Said he was nervous to play in front of students wtf?…. I think he was a year or 2 younger than me. Dammit man! How do you do that? I don’t know it just happens. I guess I’ll go back to my apartment and play. Kumbaya.

mcshredster to me is Paul Gilbert.

He lives here in town....one of my old students is actually his personal assistant now. Not asking her to bring him to one of our gigs Another buddy of mine is playing guitar in Paul’s wife’s band doing sorta jazz standards. Jason can keep up with Paul, said he is the absolute nicest dude around

Al's a beast, but that scorpions set is soooo good.

You listen to new Scorpions album yet ?

[shred4Him]

I never hear anything bad about Paul and never anything good about Al.
