They practically all sound the same. If you're playing top speed you don't miss notes out, vary the dynamics, make big wailing vibratos etc..
Here are some recommendations:
Scott Henderson, Al Di Meola, Satriani (esp. surfing with the alien), Shaun Baxter, Allan Holdsworth, Shawn Lane, Jennifer Batten (damn right!).
Alex Lifeson doesn't count as a shredder (he rarely shreds) but Exit Stage Left by Rush has SEVERAL of the best guitar solos ever on it.
Terje Rypdal's recorded some really original and great guitar music also but he's not some sweep-picking freak, he's another great musician.
What say you guys?
If I couldn't laugh at myself how could I laugh at someone less ridiculous?
