GIBSON LIFESTYLE NAMES THE GREAT KAT "8 OF THE WORLD'S FASTEST SHREDDERS"

By Jonah Bayer, Gibson Lifestyle





The Great Kat — The Great Kat is a classically trained violinist from Juilliard who at some point decided to hang up her violin for an axe and became the world’s foremost female shredder. In fact, if you think composers like Antonio Vivaldi and Niccolo Paganini are just stuffy old white guys, wait until you see a leather-and-fishnet clad wild woman bump up the BPMs and give her male counterparts like Malmsteen and Stump a serious run for their money. Guitar World has voted The Great Kat one of the “50 Fastest Guitarists Of All-Time,” but you really need to see her videos in order to comprehend just how talented — and completely over-the-top — the Great Kat's persona is in person.
