I can’t believe any website would promote this! Gary is obviously not a good guitarist himself, he’s got it backwords! Dragonforce is a good band, but musicaly Through The Fire And Flames is a boring song. It is three chords, with lots of minor scales and arpeggios played very fast. Pick any of Malmsteen’s songs, and there are more complex modulations and implied tonalities. Also, how are Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vahn bad influences!? Both of them could have played circles around the first guy listed, Victor de Andres. Gary, I think you picked good examples, you just had them under the wrong catagories!

clearly you have no idea what youre talking about,
you cant judge someones playing when theyre just doing excercises, thats a very ignorant thing to do,
listen to any of glenn’s solos, theyre melodic and he plays about half the speed that hes playing in that video, he understands that shredding is about the music, that video is just a bit of fun to get his name out there, its a purely technical demonstration. and yngwie malmsteens “shredding” is perfect, it’s just his style that yo have a problem with. style is a matter of taste. You should respect that. this article is a waste of time.

Look Yngwie Malmsteen is technically very talented, no one disputes that. He has also created some of the most exciting guitar instrumentals on record. I just think at times he doesn’t really have much to say ( guitarwise that is ). Joe Satriani to me is the perfect example of someone who has an incredible ear for melody but also has the technical chops to compliment it.

I cant believe that you would have that malmsteen video under bad shredding but you have dragonforce under good shredding and the best part of it all is that you said it was pointless. this website is a joke
