I think probably one of the first Electric guitar Shredding out there was Jimmy Page's soloing on Heartbreaker, Led Zeppelin II,1969. It's nothing to write home about these days(Heck, I learned it in about 10 minutes). But in '69 I bet it had a lot of guitarists going :eek: OMG... How the Hell does he do that?

Even Eddie van Halen said that song was a big inspiration to him and helped him develop his Finger tapping technique.
