The Sheer Ingenuity of "Shredding"

At first, I was hesitant about these videos, but there is something amazingly fulfilling about watching these douche-mops egos be completely emasculated through simple sound editing.

Wikipedia's definition of "Shredding":

Shred guitar or shred refers to lead electric guitar playing that relies heavily on fast passages; the act of playing fast passages on an electric guitar is termed "shredding". While one critic argues that shred guitar is associated with "... sweep- picked arpeggios, diminished and harmonic minor scales, finger-tapping and whammy bar abuse", several guitar writers argue that rather than being a musical definition, it is a fairly subjective cultural term used by guitarists and enthusiasts of guitar music. It is usually used with reference to hard rock and heavy metal guitar playing, where it is associated with rapid tapping solos and special effects such as whammy bar "dive-bombs". The term is sometimes used with reference to playing outside this idiom, particularly country, jazz fusion, blues, and some modern variants of bluegrass.

Wikipedia's going to have to add this to their definition, because Houston, we have a genre.
