Don’t take the the wrong way man, because I love every guy on your list, but I wouldn’t call any of those dudes shredders.

I guess for me, my favorite shredder has got to be John Petrucci. Buckethead is up there. And Michael Romeo. Of course Edward too. And you can't overlook Paul Gilbert or Vai at his best (and IMO his best was Eat 'em and Smile)

I would have to give the shredding nod
to Yngwie.

Absolutely. I saw him at Infinity Hall last year, and he is out of his mind. He wins on ego too, but he still has mad shredding skills. He's such the showman.
Dig that scalloped neck.

 

[Session 5]

Yes I hear you gball. I should have made it guitar players. For my way of thinking I say this terminology for guitar players that are great players in my eyes.

Yngwie sure can shred, especially without distortion on his guitar.

Who's my favorite guitar player kind of varies with the mood, but there are some I always return to.

-Edward Van Halen. Definitely a shredder, but he's got a bluesy feel. One of the absolute greats in my book.
-Peter Green. Pure class. Pure tone. Never overplaying. And a great singer too.
-B. B. King. Pure class. Pure tone. Never overplaying. And a great singer too. Yeah, I know, I said the same about Peter green. But it's true.
-Eric Clapton. With Mayall and Cream he revolutionized rock guitar. He does not get enough credit for being a true original.
-Freddie King. Pure plus power.
-Duane Allman. A true slide innovator. Great tone and feel. A wonderful blues guitarist.
-Derek Trucks. Plays things with a slide that is just not humanly possible. Impeccable precision.
-J. Geils. Really an underrated guitarist. Great style and tone. He was the one that really taught me to strive for playing tag one right not instead of a hundred ok ones.
