I find a lot of modern shredding pretty soulless even though it's technically impressive. Ive recently started building up my back catalogue of 70's rock CDs and have to say I prefer most them to current and recent stuff. I reckon the relatively more primitive recording technology of those days lends some kind of feeling and edge which modern technology often seems to sap. Also I'm not sure that formal teaching is any big deal. Many of the best ever players in many genres are largely self-taught.
