Guitar Shred Show is the place where you'll find this quirky site, which puts you in the boots of one of the true masters of shred guitar, Mr Fastfinger. Now, this guy isn't real - at least I hope not with a hairdo like that. It's a cartoon animation that allows you to trigger killer electric guitar moves using the keys on your keyboard, to most satisfying ends even if you have no musical talent whatsoever.
The first thing you notice is the loading screens - all made to look like part of the story unfolding. A nice touch the first time you visit the site, but a little annoying thereafter.
Inside the main menu, clicking the plectrum by Show Off Solo will launch a demo of the kind of effects you can achieve, but the real fun is to be had behind Lesson & Jam. With the plectrum pointing at Lesson you can try out the sets one by one, and a printable tablature even appears at the bottom if you fancy trying to recreate them in the real world.
But the pinnacle of the site resides under Jam - the joys of which I will have to leave you to discover on your own.
