Watch if you dare! In 2008, SGR Records in Italy held a competition to find the “world’s fastest guitar player” for the Guinness Book of World Records. (The Great Kat wasn’t invited apparently.) So if you dig hearing the “Flight of the Bumblebee” performed at 320 bpm, click PLAY.

He plays a maximum of 21.3 notes per second. The piece is comprised of 4 notes per beat X 320 divided by 60 seconds = notes per second. That would be 21.3 notes per second at any given time.
Monster Guitarist Randall Padilla plays at 23.5 notes per second. Buzz on the web says he will post 26 notes per second on 4th of July. ???
Nice video, but I would say 23.5 notes per second is literally faster.

In the immortal words of Homer Simpson..."BORING"
Its great that he's put all that time into learning how to pick fast. I wonder if he can play the solo to "Comfortably Numb"?

Now for the World's Most Musical Guitarist!
Hard to Judge, eh?
Art/Music as a Sport will always be a Joke. Especially when it comes down to Speed, come on!

I've noticed that people who make snarky remarks about people playing fast....can't play very fast.

Shouldn't music be involved rather than just single note replication? Listen to Alvin Lee live

Randall Padilla posted 26.5 notes per second in the presence of music scholars w/masters degrees on May 31st, 2010.

26.5 is way faster than 21.3 notes per second. The Della Vega video is old news.

Oh and for snarky remarks from people that can't play fast, I can, and I really don't care. Piano, Guitar and Bass, I'll make you cry and I couldn't care less. Check out http://www.soundclick.com/player/single_player.cfm?songid=5881417&q=hi&newref=1
Of the Unproud and Condemned solo at 1:30, hell that one was around the 20 notes per second range, so the point made by the thread is essentially mute. Beauty and Integrity is better then speed for speed's sake. Also check out Vega's original material. Sounds like something I would have written at the age of 16. Infantile and useless. So flame on. YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG. LULZ

This guy should stick to winking. The difference between these numpties and the likes of Alvin Lee is that Alvin is a musician.

Good for him. He can play one song that fast. Try Shawn Lane people. He didn't try to set a guinness record for pride, he simply destroyed every player on the planet before and since. Any real guitarist and musician knows this. 26.5? Try 29-30 range for Lane's "Blitz". Get your shit right.
