Anyone who's tried to get sounds like this out to a live audience.
Axis: Bold as Love, opens with the track "EXP", which innovatively utilized microphonic and harmonic feedback.[24] It also showcased an experimental stereo panning effect in which sounds emanating from Hendrix's guitar move through the stereo image, revolving around the listener.[25] The piece reflected his growing interest in science fiction and outer space.[26] Author Keith Shadwick described the track as "some of the wildest music Hendrix ever released."[6]
BTW, saw Zakk Wylde in Zakk Sabbath this weekend. That guy can really play some scales. I got pretty bored by the end, but he is definitely fast as fuck (but I don't care how fast you are, about 4 bars of playing behind your head is plenty).
Steve Morse is worthy, saw him with Dixie Dregs at Carleton College about 409 years ago. Kind of amazing. Here's a 2001 dregs show: https://youtu.be/j7gDmkKOS0E

Frank was th best shredder;
Frank Zappa is best shredder; he never played the same notes back to back.
He was playing them at speed so fast, your mind couldn't digest them individually in nano seconds; but came out as a whole segment of that song.
Even when Frank Zappa was trying to be dissonant. it was coming out melodically. Whether he wanted that result or not; it was always pure music
Does Slash do that ?

I don't know if Jimi is as much a shredder as just plain otherworldly
hands-down the most amazing performance I was blessed to see
almost every time I think of it The hairs on my arms stand up once again
Where imagination, or inspiration or cosmic connection (god?) magically became sounds never heard before or since
The slightest movement of his upper lip would bend sounds and create a new envelope
