shredding is a style of playing not a technique really, it uses lots of techniques (most of which i cant do yet) like tapping, arpeggios, etc.

you may be able to use the teqniques you said in shred but shred is more a style, like yngwie malmsteen he plays shred/neoclassical, steve vai plays shred.

in a way it is like fast solo'ing but more a whole song with techniques spaced out & more structured rather than a 40 second long solo, which a lot of guitarists try to get every technique under the sun into & lose a lot of the structure & drive.

go to this page and watch the video's of this guy he is playing a type of shred, he is very good, i recommend the quest clip, its amazing, its very technical yet very structured & rhythmical
