Blues vs. Shred?!?!
Why even try to say one is better than the other. Ah well, I'm just in a passive mood. Each has there strong aspects, and each has its weaknesses. You may prefer one to the other, but no one cares what YOU or I think.
Peace.
Peace.

Im more of a bluesy pentatonic player myself but I can and do throw some two hand tapping in once in awhile if it fits the mood and tempo of the tune. I think if you go in just one direction of these two you can get a little repetative in your sound. But if ya try and blend the two to some extent your playing will become more interesting to the listener and more importantly "yourself"!!
Im a small town White Boy just trying to makes ends meat!

How about a very uh... emotion-conveying shredder? There's a local band here in MD (USA) called Ashes Remain. Their guitar player is in the top 10 fastest and all around best guitar players I've personally ever heard. Check em out at www.ashesremain.com Go to the media section, then to songs, and listen to Broken Pieces and Cry Out. Definetely worth taking a look at guys.
