Right, can i just point something out here.. I was fairly ignorant of the "shreders", Untill poeple from this very site were recomending me stuff to listen to...
What have I found? "Surfing with the alien" is BY FAR the worst album I've heard... I want to hear something with soul and heart.. I dont want to hear something that's been written on spectrum ZX and played at 25notes per second...
THis is very rare, so pay attention, on the high E string I can quite comfortably play at a speed of 18-20 notes per second... Why don't I do this all time? because it sounds crap the second time you do it.... Know what I mean?...(that's probably the only time you'll hear brag about my wierd playing style and odd freak abillities)...
Secondly the human hearing range is about 20-20000 hertz (when your young)... If your playing 20+ per second your listner quite simply isn't gonna be able to decern what your playing...
Please dont slate something with feeling like blues, I mean sure there's crap stuff like every genre... But can you seriously say Hendrix and Page laked feeling?... Come on man... Just relax and enjoy your music and leave everyone elses alone... Dont get wound up man, you'll live longer... :)
