Van Halen and Randy Rhoads definitely play/played with feeling. Do Vai and Satch count as 'shred'? Even Yngwie has an emotional component to his style. IDK, is technique a means to an end or is it the end in itself? Alan Holdsworth for example. Skip to 3:25 ... And Al DiMeola ... You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

And shredding gives me chills depending of course on the player... Mindless and continous shredding makes me get bored... You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

There are quite many instrumentalists that can play incredibly fast and with great emotion. However, I have certainly seen some mindless robots that can play incredibly fast but have no direction and just seem to be going through the motions of simply running scales or even playing nonsense at high speed.

This to me is the main point of this . As long as the fast, shreddy passages are broken up with slower, softer passages then it will all have a flow, along with a musical suggestion of emotions running fast and slow, peaks and troughs, call and response, in essence a balance between both extremes!

You are so right man! It is like dancing! It wouldn't beso impressive to see constant rolls and twists because it would probably give you headache! But in the form of a flow it would be beautiful, graceful and impressive. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I immediately lose interest in any player of any instrument in any style once I realize they're just reciting learned patterns. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Yngwie plays lots of notes here with lots of feeling. What do you think? Do you think that Yngwie is playing with feeling on this video? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

If Yngwie is shredding with feeling and it just sounds like a blur to the listener, then the listener might say it has no feeling as they don't feel much when listening. However, if you can hear what he is playing, and be moved by it, the it does sound like he is injecting feeling in to it. Some folks just can't "hear" that fast IMHO QUOTE (Gabriel Leopardi @ Mar 2 2018, 11:13 AM) Interesting points guys!
