    "Shred?" Pffff, listen to these guys, you lightweights: Jerry Reed & Chet Atkins

    Further proof of my belief that just about any country picker from any era can wipe the floor with so-called "shredders" from the 1980s onward. Read 'em and weep, kids. This is how it's done, from some goofy country show in 1975.

    Great clip Chef.
    Watching guys like Wes Montgomery shred using just his thumb is pretty incredible too.
    The thing I like about the above clip is hearing them use open strings as part of the scale.

      Best guitar solo ever recorded was Wes doing his versh of Duke's 'Caravan'

      Now, THAT is how you play a solo.

          Fair enough, but he doesn't have to shop for clothes at some lame rock star store at the mall, wear a bandana around one knee, spend an evening using a box cutter to get his jeans ripped "just right" or depend on his girlfriend to prevent him from being homeless in order to achieve the sound, let alone the look.
