Music is supposed to have peaks and valleys, tension and release. The whole thing about shredding is that it should be done in moderation. But no one should be saying shredders lack feel.
It really depends on the general, overall feel. But also on the other side, Petrucci might not have the right feel to approach Blues like the Blues pioneers do. Neither would it suit Dream Theater if that guitar solo consisted of very few expressive notes. The Blues guitarist couldnt improv over Dream Theater, simply because they do not have the ‘feel’ to perform over multiple time signature changes. To me, ‘feel’ is ones level of understanding, whatever the concept/idea/background is. That Blues guy who likes to experiment with how many ways he can play 1 note isnt the same type of feel Mr Petrucci can play using all 12 notes. No digs to either side, this is my idea of one extreme against the other. Because John Petrucci has feel, but its not the same type of feel the guys who like to play one note over the 12 bar blues. We should all debate what defines ‘feel’ at some point. Shredding requires hours and hours of time and dedication to be able to do it well. It’s a very interesting topic/debate, because what is an opinion to one, is also an opinion to another. Thing is, you wouldnt tell John Petrucci ‘He lacked feel’, cause he might shred your face off. Those are my thoughts, but what are your thoughts on shredding? Both solos are effective at creating the emotions the songs were intended to create. The solo for TTFAF does have a “feel” to it, that feel being “excitement” and “energy”, which is what was intended. For instance I don’t think the solo for “so far away” would be very effective if Syn was shredding during the solo, or if through the fire and flames had a slow melodic solo. Simply put, a fast-paced song should have a fast-paced solo to accompany it to create the emotion that the song is intending to create. I think that shredding does have soul and feel as long as it’s used effectively. I think that this mentality is quite a reductionist mindset, that ALL shredding lacks emotion and isn’t music under any circumstances. Being able to shred on a guitar requires a very technically proficient guitar player, but some argue that shredding isn’t talent or that it’s not music because it lacks “soul” or “emotion”, and I’d like to get your thoughts on this subject. They may have taken the scenic route but Cardinal Black are finally here, and they've got plenty of stories to tell.I’ve been seeing this a lot online and I’d like to get other people’s thoughts on this subject.
