Ok, lol, obviously I wouldn't give up guitar. I was being dramatic. Point is, I still think his shredding stinks (especially the mindless ascending and descending scales he does over and over and over).

This is just my opinion, but I can honestly say I think he's the worst shredder I've heard (when compared next to shredders with the equivalent amount of technique). Yes, his technique is amazing, but his musicality is completely lacking.

And I've heard more than just that one clip. In fact, I've seen 8 or 9 of his clips and I've even got a few of his mp3s. They all sound the same...including his guitar solos. They just go up and down and up and down the neck. There's no direction, climax, or resolution. Nothing. His stuff gets monotonous fast.
