Superhuman gave you a great checklist of concepts and techniques that form the basis of shredding.

For GT lessons on how to get going on that list look here:

Start at Guitar Fundamentals 2, right at the beginning is a list of basic diatonic scales and how to play and systematically practice them.

Next, go to Rock Primer 2, Chapter 3 will intro the idea of covering the fretboard with these scales, Chapter 5 will give you the basic tools of playing lead guitar.

Next, go to Rock Primer 3, every chapter in this will give you great lessons on actual shredding concepts and techniques.

Best of success, let us know how it goes.
