Electric Violin Shredding Techniques

Mayo Ahara and Vindiche introduce shredding on the electric violin, focusing on techniques like tremolo and slides. Tremolo involves rapid bow changes for quick notes, while slides add expressiveness and connect melodic passages. The video also explores adding textures to slides using tremolo and vibrato. The tutorial encourages viewers to experiment with these techniques for more dynamic playing.

What is the primary technique introduced for shredding on the electric violin?
