What are shredding and sweeping? I recently found out about these two terms, but how do they work?

Shredding - fast virtousouistic playing, in short playing the guitar amazingly.

Sweep - a picking movement that resembles a sweep(like sweeping the floor), this is used for arpeggiated chords or arpegios in general.

You don't need to be a virtuoso to shred. And not all shredding is amazing. Rusty Cooley, while an amazing shredder, I can't stand his shred. It's just really quick excercises and fast scaler runs.
