80's style guitar shredding 

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

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

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

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

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

The 80s was the best decade for guitar.

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!

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

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.

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

sweet - what a great tone and touch

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.

Beautiful

You are a well rounded guitarist my friend. One of the best on RU-vid!!

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

Nice! Love the sweep at 0:25!~

80s metal is best metal 🤘🏻🎸

Showed this to my parakeet. His face melted off. Thank you

i thought he was gonna play stairway solo 0:03

Your playing is cold as ice, dude…!

Not too shabby. Especially dug the climbing phrases.

Your pitch control for bends is..../chef's kiss

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

Brilliant demonstration!

Must have had 9’s on there. Those bends were wild

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

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.

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

Wow, that's one of the cleanest sounding sweeps I've ever heard.

I’m hearing at least three influences in that solo, but the only name that’s coming to my mind is Dann Huff. 🤔 In any case, well played, sir. 👏🏻

That was quite tasty.

that lick around ten seconds reminds me of the end of the solo from foreigner "cold as ice"

A bit of Rhoads in there. Nice!

To me, this is the ultimate lead guitar tone.

Never gets old

God, I miss the 80's.

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

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.

Exactly my stye. I have to smile while listening. Well done

I am super impress on how you are technically proficient player sir. But I am also kinda curious on how would you sound jamming over a backing track.

Spot on! Halen would be proud

Soy del 90 pero escuché rock de los 80 y esto me trae recuerdos por qué no hay bandas que suenen como los 80

This is a very good style shredding.

A touch of Cliffs of Dover in the end.

What a tone

Jason Becker the Arpeggio king 👑 from the 80s no one's done it better since

That's not 80s shredding... That's just blissful shredding of any modern era... So tasty!! 🙏

0:13-0:16 sounds like Satriani song Memories 😎 i love that sound 😍

Check out the intro to the song Back with a vengeance by UDO. It's straight shredding bliss

Wow man this is some sick shredding right here I love it.😃👍❤️🔥⚡️🎶🎸

Dude playing is so smooth

This riff saves a lot of lives when the music died and has risen. 💪🔥

sounded great. wasn't that classical passage used in Cold as Ice?

Nicely done! Awesome HSS too.

It sounds like you for sure took like 5 famous classic songs and blended them together, and it sounds awesome lol.

Good sound. Great Job

Nice... that neck looks super comfy

Great video! What are you playing thru? Nice sound you have. Great job.

Great playing, great tone.

Nice!!!

What a time to be alive

Incredible phrasing🔥

Beautiful tone

Great Phrasing smooth flow!!

How come we never hear this kind of music again?

That tone

Best rock sound ever...

Great tone!

The first lick is absolutely soothing in the ear. 🤘

So cool, I had to put on my sunglasses to watch.

You make that look sooooo easy 👏

very good

This sounds very modern, lick wise

EVH mixed with a bit of George Lynch and Warren Demartini. Love it

Perfect.

Which strings are you using?

I like the heavy chorus sound

I have never learned how to shredding but this sounds really cool

Great shredding man.

Excellent

Yo, Marshall. What string gauges are you using? Those bends looks light and easy. Great playing.

wow what pickup is in the bridge? A PAF style? Sounds great

Impressive

Definitely some randyness and a bit of racer x-yness. Super sick soloing my friend.

Great shred!!!

I like how the whole neck was covered!

immaculate

spot on bro

The last lick hits so hard i felt like a time traveller 😂

tremendo bro! felicidadees!!

Awesome🔥

Awesome

Great tone

Amazing 🤘

Man this tone is incredible, as is your playing! What's your signal path?

0:09 the sneaky Zep lick

Great Sound man!
