> When I was 14 I would have wanted to "shred at 220bpm" but today I wouldn't get my wallet out for that.
That's fair, essentially why I put "shred" in quotes originally is that shredding guitar isn't necessarily playing fast. You laid out a nice example with Superstition for that.
I don't see why that couldn't be implemented in some way (accenting specific notes and different sustain times).
What would be difficult is quantifying note attack exactly for XYZ's riff sections. I.e., what constitutes a relative baseline pick attack and the target pick attack. If we are using a float and define the "normal" attack as 0.5, then how do we know, for example, the first or fifth note in the iconic Superstition riff is 0.85? Is it empirical?
Either way, that is a lovely insight I will consider. Matching another guitarist's intonation down to a tee can be extremely difficult, but very rewarding.
