Well, good picking for that!
But I´m also not into shred music, and nevertheless I practice things like that, because: 1.) I think if the shred has also a good melody than it fits in a song as a solo, and 2.) If you´re good at it you can critize shreders for their little musical abilities (those where it´s true), and then they can´t argument by saying: "You´re just jealous because you can´t play that fast!" :D
