f-s-p Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 Lol, ok i let Wikipedia do it they'll be more succinct than myself..... Shred guitar or shredding is a lead electric guitar playing style, based on fast guitar solos. Critics have stated that shred guitar is associated with "sweep-picked arpeggios, diminished and harmonic minor scales, finger-tapping and whammy-bar abuse", while other guitar writers say that rather than being a musical definition, it is a fairly subjective cultural term used by guitarists and enthusiasts of guitar music. It is usually used with reference to heavy metal guitar playing, where it is associated with rapid tapping solos and special effects such as whammy bar "dive bombs". The term is sometimes used with reference to playing outside this idiom, particularly bluegrass, country, jazz fusion and blues. :rofl: Actually the photo is taken of me while I was filming a speedway meeting in a very chilly spring day in Sweden a few years ago. The steel pipe in front of me is part of the stand and I'm actually pointing towards the logo on my jacket, namely the #1 track racing mgazine world wide. Well... as far as "mis"interpretations go, I'm glad this one went the "right" way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well... as far as "mis"interpretations go, I'm glad this one went the "right" way! Triple Wow and add a nooooooo!.......i must be getting old as they do say it's the eyes that go first. I can no longer tell the difference between a steel pipe and a guitar, no wonder i got muted applasue the last time i was on a stage......toooooo much. Oh well at least i invented a new genre of music 'steel pipe rock'. I've not totally 'lost the plot' though it really does look like a guitar, especially the black of the camera etc. Then again, i was always the kid that saw different shapes in the flickering flames of a fire or the clouds to what others saw lol. I hear a tune in my head now "they're coming to take me away today hee hee, they're coming to take me away to the funny farm etc." You two are weird and i on occasion work for one of you I am so totally without any form of a defence on this one.
