About this listen

 "History Of Shred" is where two lifelong guitar fanatics – Justin Hombach and legendary shred master Christian Münzner – sit down to celebrate the players who shaped our love for shred guitar. From the pioneers who defined the genre to the unsung heroes who pushed it forward, we travel through the eras, swap stories, and break down how these musicians influenced us and the shred scene as a whole. What started as a long, geeky Zoom chat between two friends quickly turned into a show we knew we had to share – because why keep all the nerding to ourselves? Whether you’re here to revisit your heroes, discover new ones, or just join in on the shred talk, you’re in good company.justin hombach, christian münzner Music

    In this episode of History of Shred, Justin Hombach and Christian Münzner explore the groundbreaking career of Yngwie Malmsteen – the guitarist who defined neoclassical shred and set a new standard for technical mastery. We talk through his albums, highlight key moments in his music, and dive into why Yngwie’s playing is so exceptional: his unmatched precision, melodic phrasing, and ability to blend classical influences with rock intensity. We share how his music shaped our own approach to the guitar, the techniques that set him apart, and the lasting influence he’s had on the shred scene.
