I think the people that shred also enjoy the type of practice put into playing in such a way. Back in high school I practiced scales and arpeggios for 5-6 hours a day. In doing so, completely underdeveloped my melodical instinct. I only like shredding when its someone that has a good aural perception and stylish way of approaching the notes. Just playing fast neoclassical fusion might have been OK for a minute back in the 80s, but has become boring.

I like poeple like Marty Friedman and Jason Becker that offermore than just speed. SSJTWIZTA I dont know if you ever considered it, but learning slide (the blues verson-not stand up country music playing like a keyboard version) is fun and produces a cool sound.
