Marcus Fretshredder (full name Marcus Fjörn Frettenshredder) is a new character in World Tour, featured in the cutscenes and the Recording Studio as the Guitarist for a band with Riki Lee, Matty Cannz, and Shirley Crowley. He also is the instructor for the Guitar Tutorial.
[edit] Biography
- Born Marcus Fjorn Frettenshredder to Swedish Hippies, Marcus moved to the US as a young kid. His journey into the world of rock 'n' roll came as a vision to him after a fall from a tree - as he lay there, he saw spirited visions of stages and exotic locations, followed by the image of a gold glowing guitar. Since then he's studied the more metaphysical and hypernatural aspects of music and guitar playing in particular. It's been his life's pursuit to attain the status of Rock God. -- Guitar Hero World Tour, Guitar Hero: Metallica, and Guitar Hero: Smash Hits in-game bio

[edit] Trivia
Marcus's appearance is similar to that of Dethklok's lead guitarist, Skwisgaar Skwigelf, sporting long blond hair. His default outfit consists of a dark gray sleeveless shirt, spiked wristbands and black pants and boots. Even the ending cutscene for Guitarists show Marcus in a Mordhaus-esque building.
His name can be taken as a reference to neo-classical guitar virtuoso Yngwie Malmsteen, also Swedish born, and who changed his name to sound more Anglicized.
