You know bro? Playing fast is one thing, shreding is another thing, and play with good taste is a bigger thing. Playing fast only makes you a faster player and thatīs all. There are other tons of guitar techniques you need to develope to be a shredder, such as legato, sweep picking, string skipping, economy picking, tapping, bar control, etc.... so, learning to be a fast guitarist is not ALL what you need to be a shredder. Its ok if thatīs the way you want to express yourself, i mean, if thatīs the style you wanna be into to show who you are. Can i tell you my secret? Buy the John Petrucci DVD and i SWEAR that you will improve in speed and acurate control in less than a month. I did it and changed my guitar life
