SHRED, SHRED, SHRED! In a world of classically-based music inspired by German Opera, the term shred came about through blistering licks that are not only fast, but technically challenging, as well. Among the best shredders known to man, David Shankle is one of the most respected and talented guitarists on the metal scene today. A former member of MANOWAR from 1988 to 1994, David has mastered many advanced guitar techniques, including his signature "over-the-neck" playing! In fact, David has refined this technique to the point that he plays over the neck faster than many guitarists play normally. David's efforts and talents have caused to become a name synonymous with the term he proudly wears... Shred Demon! David has become a fan of several Visual Sound pedals. He now combines his incredible technique with the lightening fast tracking ability of the Angry Fuzz on his new signature model Dean guitar... the results... blazing fire!
