Oh i do not mean to act discriminating (although i might unintentionally do so). My point is, however, that some cultures breed more guitarists than others, and subsequently some cultures breed more shredders than others, or jazzers or classical players... You get the picture.

You know, I've lived in different countries, and what's amazing is that even obscure players have quite a cult following anywhere, and incidentally, even if the club scene is quite feeble, it exists. Lots of shredders are everywhere, as black metal players, as jazzers etc... Except that in the US, millions are put in the release of Sheryl Crow's and Alanis' CDs, does it means there's only beautiful chicks singing rock songs in the us??? I dont think so...
