320 bpm? That's all?!

Weenie.

I could do that...if i WANTED to.

But I am an Artiste. I find anything over 283 bpm gauche. One must draw the line somewhere.

Seriously though, the amount of work that went into accomplishing that speed record is very impressive. Good work.

How does that aphorism about guitarists go?...

"Playing fast impresses the guys; playing with sensitivity impresses the gals."


'Scuse me while I go make "beautiful music!"

impressive, but who holds the record for being able to improvise most fast, or in other words, who can think the quickest? The speed of musical thought? or the ability to play/manage several thoughts at the same time, etc.? are those two even seperate things?

bach could improvise fugues, and I believe there organists in France who do this as well.

im unconvinced that this guy is even pressing down on the frets... Vai is still the king of metal guitar creativity.

actually i read that the video is fake and that it was edited... some guy in the audience filmed it and posted the actual video on youtube, and it's not the same audio track (it was a lot worse)

....All i am going to say.... is that was lame.
