Good shredders/Bad shredders

You guys have gone over pretty much the core of modern-day shredders...but where did all these guys come from? How quickly we forget. No mention of Eddie, except to say that he's not as good as Satch and Vai (both of whom I like very much), don't forget "Eruption" marks the birth of shredding. Another barely mentioned is Randy Rhoads, I know that his recorded work isn't as awe-inspiring today as it was when it was new, but in my humble opinion he would have eclipsed all of the neo-classical shredders, Yngwie included. In fact he was years ahead of these guys, but the business being what it is, and Ozzy being who he is, he never had a chance to showcase his classical talent in the studio. Record execs wouldn't go for an all-instrumental album at that time. I believe that his determination to fuse classical and rock music made some of the suits take notice and opened the door for some other great guitarists.
Anyhoo, I just wanted to add my two cents. After all, that's what this is all about, right?
Shredders I like that haven't been mentioned yet:
George Lynch, Jake E. Lee, Warren Demartini, Tracii Guns...true they're not the prototypical fusion shredders, but I think they kick ass just the same!
Guys I don't really care for:
Hammett, Dimebag, and Mustaine

Who wants to buy an album with every song going into a diffrent music genere. I think I just upset some Satriani fans thats all.
Shows how much you know.
For Yngwie's style there are allot of things you need to learn. For instance scales: Natural, Harmonci, Melodic minor modes. Then you need to know Diminished, Whole Tone, and Cromatic. Pentatonic: Minor, Major, Dominate.
Appegios: Well I have seen him use all of these, and I know he does more. Minor, Major, Diminished, Diminished7th, Augmented, and Suspended. All modes included for these.
Then you need to know how to alternate the volume knob for his violin type sound.
Well im just trying to say that it aint simple. I have seen all of the above in his playing.
Sounds like you dont know much about it.
Other than that you people get offended to easily so, I am wasting my time.

Learn the harmonic minor scale forwards and backwards, learn to sweep pick minor arpeggios, and learn how to play pedal tones quickly and there you have it... His whole style of playing in less than a decent paragraph.
