Sorry Gb but your clearly wrong. He shreds SO hard that strings can no longer take it. Dont blame him his guitar just cant hold up to the level of shred he brings to the table. This should be inspiration to go home and practice scales until our fingers bleed and possibly fall off completely.

That would be the problem then, no? Shredding is about precision and finesse, not tremolo picking with the force of an angry bull.

Yes, so subtle I couldnt pick up on it. I know this because Im from New England so I was born with the ability to smell sarcasm from 1 mile away.

The only string I break on my Fender Strat is the bottom E one.

Wow..I break strings all the time. Almost if not always the G string. However I play a lot of blues that are S.R.V. inspired and Hendrix influenced so...go figure. I play an extra light string is part of the problem I know. I think its just whatever your style is. Now if your playing mellow music and breaking strings..I dont know what to tell ya.

You still shouldnt break strings, even death metal players shouldnt break them.

I'm British. We practically invented and perfected subtle sarcasm.
