One of the benefits of getting old is you remember stuff that happened a while ago. The first time I heard a guitarist described as a 'shredder' was around 1982 or so.

The guitarist was Eddie van Halen.

Like many 'my guitar god is better than your guitar god' terms, it's now come to symbolize the playing style of folks like Yngwie and Vai.... neither of whom had released their first album when Eddie was being called a shredder.

So I used the term in the original context of the word - Eddie was a shredder because he shedded... he tore up the instrument.]]> Guitar Players Discussion NoteBoat https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/thought-you-shredders-would-get-a-kick-out-of-this/#post-78155 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/thought-you-shredders-would-get-a-kick-out-of-this/#post-78142 Fri, 03 Dec 2004 05:13:47 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion Audioslaveaddict https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/thought-you-shredders-would-get-a-kick-out-of-this/#post-78142 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/thought-you-shredders-would-get-a-kick-out-of-this/#post-78031 Thu, 02 Dec 2004 09:01:43 +0000 Eruption..nor Eddy Vanhalen are shredders :x
