Never much enjoyed shred for the sake of shred, which isn't to say that I don't happen to enjoy a few guitar players which exhibit exceptional levels of talent.
Hendrix, Page, Buddy Guy, Johnny Winter (sometimes)....BLUES! Those guys that make their guitars sound like they are screaming, whining, moaning, orgasmin', exploding,...as opposed to some of those other guys that (to me) just sound like they've mastered that typewriter thing while sitting on the couch countless hours playing + watching TV. I just don't feel too much of that stuff. Often times it just sounds (again...to me) more like a display of ability than raw emotion.
Like someone else said, though...it's always nice when a healthy balance can be found between the two.
