Yes. What’s more impressive to me is people who can shred but don’t. I listened to Pinegrove for years before I learned that Evan could shred and is a sex pest :(

    Most guitarists who shred do it purely for the sake of it, like those male metal singers who scream D6s just to say they can. I heard all the stories about Eddie Van Halen being the greatest guitarist of all time and walked away from their music feeling extremely underwhelmed by the guitar parts.

    I hadn’t heard that about Pinegrove. Shit sucks.

  • Whoa, now! Don’t you be comin’ for Van Halen

    Really, though, I think there’s a time and a place for shredding. Like the outro to “Side With the Seeds” by Wilco is near perfection and some of the tastier shredding I can think of off the top of my head… helps when Nels Cline is the one shredding though lmao
