Buxom Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 You can shred on anything, as long as you have the skill. Why you would want to shred, is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dem00n Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 All about preference, some people play faster on fatter necks which Les Pauls are know to have. Some people play faster on thin necks like Ibanez guitars have. Don't believe anyone but your self when it comes to guitars and music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AXE® Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 It's not the guitar. It's the person holding it. Thread closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stein Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Eveey time I ask how to be faster people tell me to ditch les pauls, but I can't! IS it true you cant shred on em? Really? Ditching a good guitar like an LP will make you better? Ditch that advise and get a qualified teacher. The cool thing about guitar is you can LEARN anything you want with enough practice. Quality instruction will get you practicing and learning better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Google yourself....I HAVE seen vid of you BURNING on a Les Paul. They say a lot of the greatest players are the 'dead' ones. Both are arguable.

If you do that...then I am going to go see it. If a dead guy can play again, then I could go out and see music again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about 'Rock around the clock'? Perhaps the first rock shred solo? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5fsqYctXgM Listen around 0.36s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old mark Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 It's the player, not the guitar. Many years ago, I bought a used Carvin that was supposedly designed as a "shred" guitar. The sales guy said that it was the wrong guitar for me...I'm mostly a blues player. I bought the guitar anyway because it had a great neck and ebony fingerboard, and played it for some time for blues and R&B. It sounded great, and it still is the best fingerboard I have ever played since 1963. It's the player, dude. mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
