How fast can you play? What guitar do you have? Who is better, Van
Halen or Steve Vai? For metal fans in the 80s, these were common
and important questions. Tune in to MTV, pick up a magazine, or
walk into an instrument store, and more often than not you d be
exposed to what is now known as shredding the fast, virtuoso
soloing popularized by musicians like Vai and Van Halen, Joe
Satriani and Yngwie Malmsteen, Randy Rhoads and Dimebag Darrell.
Inspired by these pioneering guitarists, thousands of young
musicians would spend hours at home in their bedrooms, perfecting
both their playing and their poses. Though shredding fell out of
favour during the grunge/alternative rock era, it has become
increasingly popular again in recent years, spurred by the rise in
popularity of bands like Children Of Bodom, DragonForce, and
Trivium. Drawing on more than 70 exclusive interviews with key
shredders past and present, author and guitarist Greg Prato has
assembled the definitive guide to the fastest players of them all.
