It's kind of a funny story how i found out about shred and neo-classical guitar.
when i was 17 i was tired of the same old metal bands such as metallica, ozzy and megadeth (still love the bands nowadays too) I had learned all the riffs and solos that i wanted. it was too easy for me. And none of the bands comign out were of ny interest too me ( i was completely oblivious to european melodic metal at the time).
So i stopped playing guitar for a while and got into piano. during my short time of playing piano i fell in love with classical music. Bach, mozart, lizst, chopin and rachmaninoff were my new musical heroes. Their ability to compose was far to superior to anybody else i had heard of.
Then i thought " there should be heavy metal with classical in it!" of course i was still oblivous to shred and neo-classical. so i tried learning a few classical pieces on guitar with heavy distortion. and i thought it sounded so awesome. I immidietely went to kazaa and tried to find music like this and i stumbled apon malmsteen. I really liked his style and playing ability.
and the rest is history. I now love a number of shred quitarists including MAB, Yngwie and Ozielzinho. And now i like all kinds of melodic metal. and i can tell you, this is a whole new meaning of music for me! i love it!
