Evidence? Sounds interesting! i wouldn't mind taking a look (if its not going to be much bother for you)

Cool to watch the human limits in the shredding content,

Also it is interesting for me when you remove the soul from the music, it stops being music instantly. Videos like this remind me how music has no limits, boundaries, and can't be put in any mould, or "forced" to be music.

Sure thing.

In short:


From Petrucciforum.com's WillJay on the topic of this video

As the Yngtchster said, i did actually debunk this last week, but got caught up in so many other things before posting my findings, hehe.


I've said ever since he (Tiago Della Vega) emerged on the net, that he fingers waaay more notes than he actually picks..... in fact he barely even 'fingers' notes, but more like just slides about them.



Just watch this clip of the 320bpm section that i've slowed to quarter speed :

http://www.speedyshare.com/153835754.html

Watch it a few times, forcussing on his picking hand, then his fingering hand. Watching it at this speed it becomes pretty obvious his pick strokes are way slower than his fingered notes. (On top of that, his fretting hand positions/direction doesn't even appear to match up to the audio)



Just to prove it, here's exactly 1 second of video from that 320bpm section :
http://www.speedyshare.com/561931200.html


Now watch that 1 second clip at quarter speed :
http://www.speedyshare.com/210948179.html


I can tell you that as far as audio is concerned, there are 20 notes that ring out in that 1 second clip. However, watch the clip with the sound turned off, and you'll see that he only just makes 15 pick strokes in the same time frame. So yes, he only manages 15 pick strokes for every 20 notes that ring out. In other words, he is only actually picking 3/4 of the notes that he claims to be doing, in a (supposedly) 'Alternate Picking' World Record.

So, after all the fancy build up, internet videos, and stage show he put on for the "world record" attempt, he is only actually picking at barely 15 nps.



Make your own mind up (if you haven't already).

haha, we are talkin about the next category in the olympics. The Fastest Guitar Player biggrin.gif j/k

320bpm guy is insane, at that speed the notes are not even audible. wats the point of playing so fast if nobody can hear what you are playing. thanks for sharing though.
