First of all I apologize if I peeved anyone off. I guess I was just in a bad mood. You all make very valid points and I dont prefer shredding over blues.
The main thing I just wanted to find out was why people think that shredders are not creative (a lot of people do) and why people class vai and satriani as shredders. 99% of their music is not shredd. A lot of people say " I prefer blues because it has feeling and you can actually hear the notes played and its not just playing fast all the time". I agree. A lot of shredders can only play shredd but but a lot aslo play many other stlyes. I shredd mainly when I play classical on the nylon or when I play the blues. Shredd isnt just associated with metal I guess. And when I said "we" in the last post, I meant to say they.
And someone in one of the posts said " shredd vs. blues". There is NO shredd vs. blues. You must mean Metal vs. blues. There is shredding while playing the blues and the most effective player I have heard that has combined these two together effectively is eric johnson (damn godd player).
Thanks again.
P.S To the guy who wanted to know, my dad is greek but the
rest of my family is italian so I guess I am more italian.
