Shredwave is a new term for guitar centered synthwave with plenty of solos but without the fast and thorough synth heaviness of Darksynth. It's all about giving time for the guitar to breathe. Some of the music goes in AOR directions, other in more Rock direction, and others in still more of a Metal style. But the 80's feel and synth integration is still present. Ultraboss was one of the first to use the term openly for his albums and others too have made ep's and albums with a similar direction. Other synthwave musicians have done a handful of tracks with prominent guest guitars.
