In the context of an electric guitar, "shredding" refers to a virtuosic, highly technical style of playing the instrument, as exemplified by the virtuosos of the eighties such as Jason Becker, Marty Friedman, Paul Gilbert, Vinnie Moore, Greg Howe, Tony MacAlpine, Shawn Lane, Steve Vai, Yngwie J. Malmsteen or Joe Satriani. The style of shred guitar is strongly founded in technique and theory. Many shred guitarists are extremely well versed in music theory and classical music.
