I'd probably classify that as shred guitar, maybe not completely. The elemends that would make it "shred" would be the sweep picking, the other fast-paced picking, and to a lesser extent, the tapping parts of the solo.

It's some pretty good playing, I'd definitely say that.

Sounds good, but if you don't have hair like these guys, it's not shred:

Omg, i hate those top 10 lists.

Personally, I think impelliterri is better than malmsteen, and so is gilbert. Batio is pretty insane too.

well, i can tell the solo guitar isn't fake but it sounds really crap. You can call it shredding i guess, and you have some playing skill in you.

EDIT - and don't always rely on shredding, too much of it and you will just sound tasteless.

Well, Malmsteen just sucks...so boring. I was just pointing out the hair.

Aren't shredders only made for paper? I never seen one that was big enough to shove a guitar through it.

Is this what we can call playing "Shred Guitar",

the way I play in the middle solos

If not.. would you mind telling why ?

If yes.. would you rate it ?

Not shredding. Anyone can TRY to shred, what makes it shredding is the amount of talent to not have to seem like you're trying. Plus, the tone is completely horrible.

A couple of sloppy sweeps and a few awkward runs do not shredding make.
