What Do You Think About "Shredding"?

Shredding pentatonics in one key is like putting go faster stripes on your car and making the exhaust louder.
Meaning it looks cool, sounds good, and gets you ****, huh?

Finesse, not just a brick with a big engine that can’t handle corners.🤣
 
I'm really glad I latched on to players like Satch, Vai, Beck, Hendrix, EJ, Santana, early on in my playing. More than just technical skill, they each have a very unique style and sense of melody that separates them from the pack. That's really what turned me onto them even if I didn't fully realize it then. Those guys could crossover genres of music well too, and their song catalogs are more diverse. Which is the main reason I don't listen to YJM because he's never really changed his approach or writing. It takes more than being a shred master to keep me interested, even though I appreciate great shred.
