To me, the positive part of “shred” is to pursue stunning technical mastery on the guitar. This is a big mountain to climb. And it’s not a good place to begin. Don’t start with Racer X or Dream Theater. You won’t master that in a day as a beginner. And I think it’s important to choose songs that you CAN master in a day. These daily successes are really important. Try “Rocky Raccoon” by the Beatles, or “The Ballad of John and Yoko”. Next go for some AC/DC or some old KISS songs. Slowly climb the mountain, and get strong musical footholds along the way. The shred will come, but in time.read all the replies
