Does “complexity and speed” mean shred guitarists?

No it means things faster than uptempo and non major minor tonality and non even rhythm.

Just so happens that shred has all those, and I make excuses for things like bach

So who’s your fav? I was a big fan of Satriani and Tony McAlpine 35 years ago.

Obviously Mike Lerner of Behold the Arctopus, hence having Skullgrid as my name. I wrote a LONG ASS post about my favourite shred guitarists that have excellent phrasing , where it's not just a zillion notes a second, but they still do play a zillion notes a second here :
