I went for a guitar Shredders tour on youtube this morning tryin to find the one that pleases me most in this style that I dont frequent much..
Even if ihe is not the fastest one i must say Steve Vai is the one i prefer by his playing ,versatility but mostly his musicality + i know him since his FZ period..
Curious to know about you guys favorite..

I am not a big shred fan, but I think this guy qualifies. By far my favorite! I still love 70's and 80's era Van Halen. Other than that, for pure instrumental shred, I pick Satriani, esp the Alien era stuff. Sounds like ski music to me.

I liked Satriani on this one, though to be fair, it's not strictly a shredder tune. It has some shred in it, but it's the theme that caught my ear......

Here's where it gets interesting.......... a theme that caught my ear around '59 or '60................listen to this all the way through and see if you recognize it.(you should about 1:30 in).
Sorry to be off topic, but all powerhouse music started somewhere, I guess. Anyway, horn and piano shredders from long, long ago. :french

Jason Becker was amazing. It's a terrible shame what's happened to him.

He's my favorite shredder. I like that he doesn't take himself too seriously.

I only have one of his albums, Burning Organ, but all I've heard him play has been great. I don't usually care much for 'guitar hero music', though. Of course Vai et al have some awesome clips - heh, who could not like stuff like the movie Crossroads - but Gilbert seems more of a rocker guy and he's got a lot of fun and humour in his stuff, whereas Vai for instance often seems painfully corny and serious in comparison.
All matters of opinion, but it's like they say - you can only argue on matters of opinions, not facts :-)

When I was playing bass in college, Sheehan was an influence inasmuch as he made it "legal" for us to go higher than the seventh fret.

Same here. He really inspires me, Learning some Ohm songs right now and they are very challenging.
