  Can you shred?

Can you shred?

If you can, how much time did you spend practicing to become a shredder?


I'm sorry for spelling or grammar mistakes I did because I'm from Croatia and I'm still having hard time writing English.

Nope, I have nowhere near the patience and discipline to practice enough to get to that level.

Nope. Too many other things to work on right now to even worry about it. My focus right now is on learning songs, perfecting technique and being able to improvise leads. Plenty enough to keep me busy for the foreseeable future without worrying about w$^&ing....err, shredding.

Thats a No for me too...

Really dont have that much interest in doing so either. I would much rather play a slow melodic solo, than a barrage of so many notes that you dont have time to listen to them..

But thats just me

Is it possible to play something with feel at 200-250 bpm (4 notes per beat)? I don't think so...

I understood what you've wanted to say, but English grammar is "" for me.

I put "yes" because I shred cheese often, and sometimes lettuce.
