Steve Vai and the boys were not made in a day, year, decade........

Not true in my opinion.
I know 2 guys, one of them plays 3 year and the second 7 years, and they both can shredd. they both can play at steve vai/ malmsteen / whatever you like speed without any problem, and the guy who plays 3 years can play even faster than the other guy. It all depends on many things, but i think that if you practice enough time every day the right things, it shouldnt take more than year and a half or two years to learn how to shredd..
