Most shredding music is bad. Some bands that influenced shredding—Van Halen chief among them—are often very good. But when unaccompanied by a singer or other instrumentation, shredding usually sucks. Just think of Van Halen without David Lee Roth.Guitar music exclusively for guitar players is probably prefigured by Jeff Beck’s mid-seventies albums Blow by Blow and Wired, which are legitimately good, and started in earnest a decade later by Joe Satriani and his student Steve Vai.

I AM intrigued by the idea of a guitar pre-placed in front of the cone for feedback on demand. I don't know what sort of switching regime would make it musically useful though.

Yeah, if you got rid of the screeching vocals and whatnot you could pretty much draw a straight line between what he was doing and what Vernon Reid (post-Ronald Shannon Jackson's Decoding Society, pre-Living Colour) was doing at the Knitting Factory or the Kitchen.

Does anyone ever compare them with The Replacements? There is some overlap in acknowledged influences, in particular as seen in the mixing Kiss and Partridge Family covers, but to me the RK versions of this material seem to be more competent, inspired and affectionate. Of course maybe I just finally got sick and tired of The ‘Mats after reading that bio Ned recommended.

On a day trip w/the family. My sister's turn at the CD player, and it's this Eric Johnson album from ten years ago that sounds like it could be thirty or twenty years ago, or from tomorrow, or ten years in the future. Dude's like the Ramones or Motorhead, stylistic consistency-wise, of guitar mag shredders.

elizabeth cotten's freight train has this prescient and very human sensitivity in lyric and performance that is all the more heartbreaking knowing she wrote it when she was 13. the videos of her performing it as an elderly woman with the crowd joining in to sing bring me close to tears just thinking about them. batio though has a four necked guitar that he spins and he taps out bitchin licks though. tie

I get it too Eddie. But part of being a total musician is embracing all music and diving down the musical rabbit holes. I’ve listened to BB King to EVH to Frank Sinatra and back.

Been listening to Plini a lot lately, who I gather is one of these guys for the 2010s. Just these epic proggy fusion shredfests with a basis in math-rock and post-rock and are really well-composed (i.e. I rarely feel like my interest is waning).
To be honest, I haven't actually listened to a lot of the guitarists listed in this thread, so maybe this is more my thing than I have previously thought. For example as a kid I know that I liked Steve Vai with David Lee Roth, but got bored pretty quickly when I listened to Passion & Warfare. I probably should go back and relisten so I can figure out if I need to buy a headless fanned-fret guitar or something pointy with a floyd rose
