I'd say Nicoli Paganini, the violinist....He was the worlds first "shredder" in my opinion and others opinions.

Yngwie Malmsteen plays a lot of Paganni.

And also, Eugene's Trick Bag that Steve Vai played in Crossroads is basically one of Paganini's Caprices, the 5th I think.....someone correct me if I'm wrong here.
Check out my band:
