So yeah, back to my point, you're not able to shred on a classical guitar.

That is the case when you only listen to Dragonforce. Go listen to real shredders like Steve Vai, Buckethead, Petrucci etc.

And really? Jimmy Page used a bow even on guitars. And that worked, because it MADE a great sound, compared to shredding on classical ones, which is just 'clickclickclick'.
