i think to become a better shredder u have to slow things down , dont fool your self just by playing a bunch of notes all out of key with the a bunch of distortion filtering what your relly playing.
here are some tips
*Dont fool yourself when practicing always play with clean sound. its ok to play with distortion at times but remember that it si only an effect.
*when u find an exercise to practice , play it at a speed in which u can play it perfect *with zero errors, good dexterity and that it is onbeet use a metronome, but do not start out playing fast test your self and see were your speed is ,if u play at one speed and it dousnt work then slow it down till its perfect and work your way up from that.
example (here is a nice shredder lick to start out with not hard at all just slow it down toyour own speed i dont relly knowyour skill level so i dont know if this example will affect u mch ) here it is i got this lick form a yngwie lesson it is very use full and a nice exercise

i hope i wrote that right , first time tabbing on computer
so any way practice that lick its fun to play and u can impress the friends if u play it fast ,but start slow.
*practise alot of
sweep picking and arpeggios and
alternate picking , if u need any examples just ask and i can tab some out.
