What Do You Think About "Shredding"?

[Rock Chalk]

Don't make me start responding with Reo Speedwagon song titles

Say what you will about REO, Gary Richrath was a beast......until they kicked him out anyway.............

He did himself in, but such is the nature of addiction.

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

While the shred music often was of questionable quality, what a time it was to start playing guitar in 1984!

An example of how I feel “shred” can serve the song:



Rick goes off the rails at the end compared to the original recording, but I think it works extremely well as an outro solo.

Even Satch digs it:

He may be down to earth, but….

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.

Who is this Dude Rick Graham ?

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.

When Satch leaves a comment on your vid, you're doing something right!
