Members glenecho Posted January 22, 2012 Members Share Posted January 22, 2012 I've been going through a phase of listening to my favorite shread players. Guys like Paul Gilbert, Vinnie Moore, Jason Becker, Malmsteen, and a lot of the other Shrapnel guys. Anyone got any newer or perhaps younger guys I should check out that are doing the shred thing? I prefer straight up instrumental stuff but I guess it couldn't hurt to check out some bands as well. Would love to hear some guys I've never thought of.

Members Mavesicles Posted January 22, 2012 Members Share Posted January 22, 2012 In no order: Petrucci, Friedman, Gilbert, Vai, Satch, and Yngwie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members glenecho Posted January 22, 2012 Author Members Share Posted January 22, 2012 Peter Cermon:cop: That didn't even need to be said. What else can you say about the man that inspired so many...Malmsteen...Impelliteri...Angelo Batio? He's a legend that transcends music itself.

Members glenecho Posted January 22, 2012 Author Members Share Posted January 22, 2012 buckethead I like Buckethead but some of his stuff is a little too noisy and far out for me...the John Zornish stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members the_gunslinger Posted January 22, 2012 Members Share Posted January 22, 2012 Also Micheal Romeo and Alexi Laiho, if you can past his voice. The first 3 Bodom albums are killer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Howe has a {censored}load of albums so you might have to dig to find what you like the most. Kotzen's Electric Joy is guitar porn for the ears. The first instrumentalist I got into was satch. After him it was Eric Johnson. Greg Howe is a fusion player where Eric Johnson and Satch are more rock/soft rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members carlstretch Posted January 22, 2012 Members Share Posted January 22, 2012 Steve Morse is probably my favorite. But still,... I can only listen to that stuff for a song or two,.. Then turn it off. But I also like Gilbert, Satch (don't consider him a shredder) and Vinny Moore but not as much as Steve Morse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have some cassettes (which I transferred to MP3) as well as a lot of MP3s. Some very good stuff. For some newer stuff, which I'm thinking you've almost surely heard of but am posting anyway, some newer bands have some great shredders, though I'm not sure how you'll like all the music. Stuff such as:Animals as LeadersGuthrie GovanNecrophagistSleep Terrorand of course Michael Romeo with Symphony X (and the new album's great IMO). There's also that one Russian kid who's an unreal shredder, but I can't recall his name. I hope he ends up putting out some good original music someday.
