pfox14 Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Zakk doesn't seem to have any difficulty shredding the crap out of his Les Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVOL! Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Sorry but this is just too easy. I was waiting with baited breath for someone to post Buckethead. That cat has his own signature Les Paul model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Searcy Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 I was waiting with baited breath for someone to post Buckethead. That cat has his own signature Les Paul model. I love the Buckethead. I'm really wanting to play one of his sig Les Pauls. Sounds right up my ally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notes_Norton Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Les Paul had the ability to play very fast on the Les Paul - as many others who followed him. Playing fast on the guitar takes putting in the time. It doesn't come overnight for most, and it takes years of dedication for others. If it was instant gratification, anyone could do it. Insights and incites by Notes PS, I always got a chuckle out of the fact that Les developed the solid body guitar with heavy, resonant wood so it would sustain longer than the current archtop electrics - and then he played so blazingly fast, he never sustained anything. (I do love his playing.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinner 13 Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 some of the FINEST shredders play a Lester: Randy Rhodes Slash LES PAUL... duh... Zakk Wylde Gary Moore Billy Gibbons Ect............ Playing fast on the guitar takes putting in the time. It doesn't come overnight for most, and it takes years of dedication for others. If it was instant gratification, anyone could do it. The above statement, and Tommy K's Quote in my sig are probably the two most intelligent things I have ever read here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketman Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Rocky4, I love the Zorba the Greek part in that solo! If you want to listen to some serious shredding then listen to Greek music on the bouzouki. Trust me if you can play this on a bouzouki then a Les Paul will be easy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UgndyMfe-8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaleb Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Uh, Jeff Watson of Night Ranger (did a 7 finger tap on a Les Paul Custom), Phil X (although he plays Yamaha SGs but still not a "shred guitar"), Alex Lifeson, Bruce Kulick, Mick Mars (in the early Crue days). Hell, Yngwie shreds on a Strat with low output pickups and that wouldn't be considered a "shred guitar (apart from the scalloped fingerboard and the YJM name...)" now would it?

WKnight2 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Clearly the point has been made you CAN shred on a Les Paul. Some guitars have a flatter radius and thinner neck, which MAY make it "easier" to shred, but the initial technical proficiency needs to be there for any difference to be noticed. Shred away!

Not a huge fan of that style of instrumental music, but he is the A #1 rebuttal to that silly question Is it true that you can't shred on a Les Paul. And his signature Les Paul is killer looking.
