    It would be understandable if what they were playing was actually enjoyable to listen to ??
    Great argument for less equals more..
    I would rather listen to Dave Gilmour's slowest solo than any of these so far..
    Yngwie has a lot to answer for !!

    I thought this thread was about fast masturbating. Lol. My bad.

    But yes, there are too many people on YT claiming to be the fastest.
    Reading Crazy From the Heat in four hours flat, in a cramped RV, on the return trip of a 3,000+ mile family outing to New Jersey is an enlightening experience you'll never forget.

    It is about widdly widdly wankery......
    Sure its impressive, but not expressive
    these dudes are playing the same scales./modes/patterns
    up and down a step. The end effect is you think, ok, that
    sounds like a pentatonic minor, ooh now he is playing it
    down two frets...

    No heart and soul. I totally believe there is a place forever for
    these techniques, but change it around a bit dudes ??

    Lets take Randy Rhoads, he used a lot of these techniques
    but there was pure soul with his variation and phrasing
    in the solo's... These fuckers sound like sequencers.

    That's what distinguishes the greats...even when they're playing something technical, it serves the song and most importantly, sounds MUSICAL rather than like someone doing exercises...

    The speed picking is the worst part of it...his tapping is pretty fluid. Not impressed by the Gorilla amp...

    Its self defeating I think because to get some of those harmonics to ring you have to have a sucky guitar sound.

    "You must have Gorilla amplifier."
    I've seen his "harmonic chart" laying out every possible harmonic on every string across 24 frets, but seems it's true you need to have ridiculous amounts of gain going to get some of them to ring like that, and a recessed Floyd (or other locking trem) would be pretty much mandatory for how far he's pulling some of the notes up...

    I thought binnie was referring to living girls...isn't Savicki into dead chicks?

    1. EVH on a bad day is more interesting than these wankers
    2. It was a pleasure to hear Yngwie after all that nonsense
    3. I'm glad I got married because I would kill myself trying to play that fast
    4. Except for 1 wanker, all these wankers need to sit just to play - makes for one exciting rock show!

    That's just really unpleasant, I think very very few people would want to listen to that. If the end result is something that noone would want to listen to you may as well spend thousands of hours trying to become the greatest farter in the world. In fact that would be better as it has more novelty value.

    Mushroom made a good point about how all shredders seem to be sitting down.

    I'm not a shredder but I've started practicing standing. I find it more difficult although maybe it willl just take a bit of time.

    The only use for that would be if someone approached you because they needed a sound for when the flying saucer came out on their retro video game and that's fairly unlikely to happen as it's easier just to program something like that in.

    People should practice standing up - unless you're into wearing your guitar under your armpit live - you'll have to in order to approximate where it was when you were learning all those shred licks sitting...

    And the golden rule is that how cool a guitar looks is in proportion to how low slung it is.

    These people that have their guitar up at their armpit look ridiculous for some reason.

    I'm not sure why it matters but it does and I don't make the rules...

    Too low and it looks equally recockulous, though. Anything past the belt-line? Ghey.

    You can disagree with me all you'd like, and yell at me all you want if need be, but, I still think it's a tie between Paul Gilbert, Impelliteri, and Michael Angelo for the spot of fastest guitar player. Mind you, I took into consideration how they play. They're not being a six-string sweet douche, they're actually playing with feeling, whether wanking or playing something really nice.

In fact that would be better as it has more novelty value.

    Mushroom made a good point about how all shredders seem to be sitting down.

    I'm not a shredder but I've started practicing standing. I find it more difficult although maybe it willl just take a bit of time.
    I find standing up easier, as it gives me much more access to the higher notes on the fretboard. I play with the strap up like an old man or Ed would, almost right at my chest.
