80's style guitar shredding

[@shredguitarob]

what always amazes me is how relaxed your playing is, never any tension!

[@kristiangurholt59]

Just like his strings

[@aquatichighs]

But can he play standing up?

[@funkerrrr]

.008

[@InTonalHarmony]

That’s exactly what I was thinking. Very light strings.

[@IMustTurd]

That is because this style is 40 years outdated to this hardened veteran player

[@BaldPerspective]

'80s Shred Guitar is like chocolate cake: it may not be explicitly "healthy" but it's so damn good.

[@sw4841]

Well said… Best era in hard rock unfortunately will never be again

[@allworksnew]

That's the most wack analogy I have ever read. Damn

[@JamesLee해외주식]

I absolutely love 80's style shredding because of so much reverb!

[@stevenrodriguez9655]

And still makes the notes sound clean

[@whiteyfisk9769]

Tons of reverb, but absolutely 0 soul

[@РоманПаньшин-й5ц]

I think he like to listen 70-s rock​@@FULLTILTSWIFF

[@tb2324]

As my cousin said, and he was a lead guitarist for a very popular rock act “Anyone who wants to can learn to play fast solos. But being able to play something melodic and rich is a gift”.

[@Gyjtrdfhj]

@@FULLTILTSWIFFwell what do you since you said it has no soul? How can you determine how much soul is in something being played? Don’t be a obvious narcissist

[@TurboJailer]

I think we all need more of this in our lives.

[@christopherbako]

It reminds me to remember.

[@ExpTube1969]

I think he uses very Light gauge strings

[@wob6776]

@@ExpTube1969 Underrated strategy. A short scale guitar is also a really overlooked way for hilariously easy low-tension shred.

[@smithn.wesson495]

I am so glad I am old enough to remember all of the Guitar Gods from the late 70's to early 90's. Today's generation will NEVER understand what a glorious time it was back in those days. We will never see or hear the same shredding and players like we had back in that generation ever again.

[@UnchainedEruption]

EVH, Malmsteen, and RR, you say? To me this solo felt unmistakably George Lynch. Nailed that melodic hard rock feel. Great sweep and vibrato at the end there!

[@SidusBrist]

I love George Lynch bro.

[@anthonyharmon9265]

​@@SidusBristhe is a beast. Huge Dokken fan here.... take me back 😢

[@ExplosionDestroyer]

I was just about to say that. I hear more George Lynch in the solo as well.

[@AdrianChazz]

With the “Cold As Ice” run, too…

[@322killuminati]

The harmonic minor is totally Lynch.

[@dorianortiz2729]

You're one of the most melodic guitar man i ever see in KZbin Bloody Fantastic.

[@truescotsman4103]

Those blues pentatonics are so spot on it's funny. I was just messing around doing my 80s thing im 59 and I was doing a few variations of that riff. I like the ascending thing on the low strings. classic spot on 80s dude.

[@coolman1610]

Definitely need more of this, sounds like a tryout for a big time band in the 80s. Do more of this bro, longer too ffs. Been a fan for 3 years

[@TheWorstGuitarist203]

The 80s was the best decade for guitar.

[@Heroesworkshop]

Agreed. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

[@mastopeth2223]

Adrian Smith has got to be one of my favorite 80's guitarists. He's not the fastest shredder out there but his technique is so clean and expressive.

[@PatrickEscapetheDay]

Adrians phrasing, tone and feel is amazing! Definetely one of the best of the 80's era, no doubt!

I always find it strange that I listen and play modern metal, but when I start shredding it always sounds like it's from the 80s

How can someone be so smooth and relaxed while playing such complexed pieces.

[@mephistopheles7545]

Lots of practice that’s how

[@davidfesmire518]

Looks like he might be playing 8s instead of 9s in standard, that helps a lot too.

[@vespass225]

Yeah, agree. Loads of practice and repetition, BUT, without a good musical ear and sense of rythm and timing , you would not suceed anyway

[@MADguitar]

You are a well rounded guitarist my friend. One of the best on KZbin!!

[@The_Kirk_Lazarus]

Not too shabby. Especially dug the climbing phrases.

[@alpha-male1959]

Compliments to that humbucker in the bridge..wicked tone and playing 👍

[@craig83]

This makes me miss the 80’s and I was born in 91

[@smeer001]

Your right hand looks so relaxed. Right hand also picks so efficiently. It almost looks like your hand barely moves as you attack the strings.

[@kaiookalanikanuha2613]

Not only nailed the style, but the tone as welll 😉

[@Guithulhu]

A bit of Rhoads in there. Nice!

[@cwb4-]

bro mixed EVH, Malmsteen, pentatonic scales and sweet picking. Amazing
