Gary Richrath was the first guitar player that I thought played live like a real rock star!
(Well, maybe next to Jimmy Page...)

Hahahah in that Graham vid, it got to the shreddy stuff at 4:28 and it would have been, for my preferred amount of shred, great if he ended it at the end of that first descending run, like at 4:29-30, then went back to the groovy melodic stuff. Everything past 4:30 and I was fully checked out by 4:33.
I suppose I think of shred like I do drum fills, so that vid was like Graham started a fill and just never stopped while the song kept going on. Dude’s a fucking ridiculous player, though. I’m never not impressed by the technical aspects and how clean he is, that’s for sure.
If it were a thrash metal tune I might feel differently, but slow/mid-tempo stuff I’d just strongly prefer to hear some melodic milking of the notes.

A you tube and instruction video guy. He’s plays great classical as well as is 100% on his theory. You will be hard pushed to find better.

The common thread with all the greats is that they are melodic despite playing a gazillion notes.
Michael Romeo has got to be the smoothest player alive.
When I was younger I was into Vai, Satriani, Vinnie Moore, Paul Gilbert, Jason Becker, Marty Friedman...all that good stuff. I had way better chops back then when I had time (and above all, will!) to woodshed, but that kind of stuff requires constant maintenance so I can't do it anymore.
