This is not sped up. You can tell because his other actions like moving his head and all that would be sped up too. I think this is pretty sick. There is a way to tell how many NPS there is in someones playing by using this formula. (notes per beat) x (however many beats per minute) / 60 Ohhh yeah,IF it's played clean and accurate on and per beat, which obviously isn't the case here,lots of notes are "eaten" -------------------- Youtube

To be honest, I don't care if this guy has "emotion" and all that other random stuff that has no relevance. I clicked to see the fastest guitar player, not a melodic song, and I assume you guys did as well, so why criticize him for irrevelant stuff? I'm sure this guy plays other styles and stuff, and if he wasn't "passionate" about his instrument, why would he spend hundreds of thousands of hours perfecting his technique? Learning heavy bends, phrasing, vibrato, pentatonic scales, etc. don't take 1/100 as long as it takes to learn how to play 16th notes clean at 250 BPM. Look at Yngwie Malmsteen for example. People always criticize him because he is extremely fast (out of jealousy, I assume). Yet he has written many "emotional" pieces like Blue, and Black Star, but people refuse to take those into account, because they would rather look at a guitarist that can't play fast but does the same "emotion" thing like Jimi Hendrix, David Gilmour, Dimebag, etc. (no offense) because their level of playing is something that anyone can reach and have fun doing it, whereas playing as fast as shredders takes tons more boring hours of just running up scales to a metronome over and over and over, which no one but extremely dedicated players want to do. And if it really comes down to who is the most "emotional," classical composers defenitely knock out all 20th century guitarists. Listen to Beethoven's 9 symphonies, Vivaldi's Four Seasons, etc. That's a good post with some good points! Agreed 100%! I commented on the guy only by judging his technique. You actually succeeded in telling what i was always trying to say but never managed to. -------------------- "It isn't how many years you have been playing, it's how many hours." -- Prashant Aswani "PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!" -- Michael Angelo Batio Check out my video lessons and instructor board! |

Following a formula similar to that I came up with him playing 16th notes at 750 BPM, which unfortunately, is not possible. Thats because that was already calculated. |

Obviously you're not familiar with the stylings of Skwissgaar Skwigelf
http://youtube.com/watch?v=Wg2nyfTLB8E Harvard professors declared him the worlds fastest guitarist alive. Also, there are a lot of people crossing the highly subjective "worlds best guitarist" with "worlds fastest guitarist". The all encompassing "best" category include elements such as discussed above. You don't need to cheapen their accomplishment simply because you don't understand what they're trying to achieve. Certainly one aspect of playing is musical knowledge, but there's also the technical side of actually executing. In the meantime, I can't wait until this CD shows up in the mail. http://youtube.com/watch?v=MIleK5CRcjo -------------------- "King V" enthusiast

I guess we should clarify for our international friends about "Metalocalypse", it's a cartoon about the fictional band "Dethklok" and their fictional guitarist "Skwissgaar Skwigelf" in the show it's widely accepted that he is the fastest guitarist alive and hosts the pay per view event "Advanced Fast Hand Finger Wizard Master Class".
You can see Skwis play in the youtube video. http://youtube.com/watch?v=Wg2nyfTLB8E This post has been edited by Goliath: Dec 13 2007, 07:06 PM -------------------- "King V" enthusiast
