World's Fastest Guitar Player April 2011

[El_Gato]

This sounds real

 

[Chryst Krispies]

Nothing makes me wanna puke more than people saying "Now do it with soul."

Shut the fuck up. SOUL is overrated. I'd rather lisgten to Yngwie play the same scale a thousand times over than listen to some Screwtube hack playing shitty blues licks cause he wants to show people how he "feels it."

And the best is the "HE CAN SAY MORE WITH ONE NOTE THAN HE CAN SAY IN A THOUSAND." Die in a fire, sir.

I give props for crazy world record attempts. Looks painful.

Oh my.. nailed it.
I hate both of those comments so much !

About the video.. whoa, actual made me laugh.
Crazy speed haha.

Hope its more legit then the last world record try with the overdubbed stuff heh.

Thankyou.

These contests are just ego stroking maniacs. There is nothing "musical" about playing that fast. While it is impressive in the real world speed like that is useless.

 

[JeffTD]

Impressive, but sounds like dick.

 

[Keregioz]

That was....impressive I guess . I'd be more curious to listen to some of his music though.
Apparently these are the picks he uses : http://sikpik.com/ interesting concept, although it would only be useful for fast picking.

 

[Mago]

Funny stuff
It's sports, not music, but still looks impressive.
interesting way to spend your time at home.
If he manages to do something usefull with beyond 400bmp then I'm REALLY impressed

also would be interested to hear the DI's of that

 

[musickey]

FFFFUUUUUU just pooped my pants....

 

[professorlamp]

not to shit on anyones parade but he was pretty sloppy, okay I can't play at 420bpm but his 170 bpm starter was still pretty staggery and jumpy. still shat my pants though... was epic.

 

[kev]

Pretty epic. No point in judging it musically ofc. Those picks look very interesant!

 

[Old_Gregg]

I'd love to be able to play that fast, but having said that I cant see myself ever having to play that fast for any of my songs....or any covers or songs....or any kinda of music ever.

Still, pretty awesome though

 

[Nuno Filipe]

ahahaha this is so funny! seems like fast forward video. The man looks like a cartoon!lol

 

[SocialNumb]

I wish I could fap that fast. My fap juice would become religion!

 

[Skinny Viking]

somewhere Joey Demaio silently sheds a tear

somewhere Joey Demaio silently sheds a tear

I'm pretty sure that's happening anyway...

 

[Harry Hughes]

It doesn't bother me that it's 'not musical'.
It bothers me that anyone actually believes the Central Nervous System would be capable of allowing both hands to synchronize accurately at those kind of extreme tempos.
Tremolo picking as fast as possible, and then just sliding your fretting hand around in the hopes of hitting the notes is not accurate, clean playing.
At least when someone like Shawn Lane is playing 16th notes at 270bpm, we know he's actually hitting all the notes accurately

 

[TravisW]

I agree with Harry. Frankly, for this sort of competition, there should be no distortion or compression--just a naked, direct signal.

That being said, it was pretty entertaining to watch.

 

[The Unavoidable]

Jesus fudge-packing christ.


If that is real.... fockin 'ell

 

[Sweetnothing]

I have to say I laughed...sooo funny sounding

But it's really impressive.
