  • Carl306, on 07/18/2008, -4/+195I can imagine the conversations he has with girls.

    Girl: "Wow you you play really fast!!!"
    Guitarist: "It bodes well for me that speed impresses you"
  • mjrpes, on 07/18/2008, -1/+154Umm... more like...

    170bpm = expert
    230bpm = insane
    280bpm = impossible
    320bpm = aimbot/hack
  • garths, on 07/18/2008, -11/+161Being the fastest guitar player in the world is like being the fastest lover in the world... missing the point.
  • Burento, on 07/17/2008, -5/+131Have to skip about half way through video.. unreal
  • RayCarley, on 07/17/2008, -0/+106And I thought he was doing well at 180 bpm...
  • nazzareno, on 07/17/2008, -8/+108This guy is freakin amazing.

    Though this guy (even though he looks like a complete cornball) is just wacko:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rutyA12z3Ok (fast forward to about 1:40)

    Remember though kids: speed isn't everything. That solo has got to have soul.
  • J3EBS, on 07/18/2008, -0/+94340 bpm = PROFIT!
  • timeisapear, on 07/17/2008, -13/+96kinda wished it was something a little more complicated/entertaining
  • inactive, on 07/18/2008, -1/+78IMO:
    170bpm = hard
    230bpm = expert
    260bpm = insane
    280bpm = holy..
    300bpm = face melting
    320bpm = ?????
  • StuartGibson, on 06/14/2009, -0/+59Except girls are never impressed by speed guitarists.

    16 year old boys on the other hand...
  • friskekd, on 07/18/2008, -8/+65I play guitar and If I do say so myself I am quite good. At the beginning of the video I felt that It was no big deal, If I spent a year practicing for speed I could maybe do that too. A few short minutes later I realized I will never EVER be that good. Thanks for putting into perspective how much I actually suck at guitar.
  • audleylibrary, on 07/18/2008, -8/+51IT'S OVER 9000!!!!

  • Darkone253, on 07/18/2008, -3/+31Exactly what I thought.

    "GET TO THE POINT!"
  • catkillcurious, on 07/18/2008, -1/+27The more exposed one is to the internet, the more impatient one becomes.
  • JBabin3xB, on 07/18/2008, -0/+26Yeah Harmonix chart that *****

  • badjoke, on 07/18/2008, -0/+22Make sure to submit your 740bpm video.
  • inactive, on 07/18/2008, -4/+25He's cheating! His guitar has an extra string!
  • Aikidi, on 07/18/2008, -1/+21flight of the bumblebee is the classic speed test pretty much...satriani and yngwie both do it to show off as well
  • matador0, on 07/18/2008, -2/+22Draogonforce cant even play their own songs live, watch stratovarius, they are better
  • Dasmitch, on 07/18/2008, -2/+22http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zr1fMkvb6J8&feature ...

    This guy wins!
  • tchowe, on 07/18/2008, -2/+21***** you Brazilian guitarist! I'm only saying that because he was giving me the middle finger the whole time.
  • Gnar04, on 07/18/2008, -2/+21pfft, i can do it blindfolded, with YOUR penis.
  • ZeppFreak89, on 07/17/2008, -1/+18jaw has hit the floor!
  • inactive, on 07/18/2008, -0/+17Damn internet and its inability to sound sarcastic... :)
  • inactive, on 07/18/2008, -6/+23Nice, but I still prefer the good ol' blues
  • Shuk, on 07/18/2008, -0/+16Nobody is saying this is the most talented. This is a pure regimented exercise. A feat similar to an Olympic event than a 'show'. Nobody compares the fastest speed skater to an ice dancer.
  • plastiqmanb, on 07/18/2008, -0/+15Toki Wartooth - Not a bumble bee
  • swicepick, on 07/18/2008, -0/+14William Murderface Murderface Murderface

  • badjoke, on 07/18/2008, -0/+14It's nice to have the announcer in the background moving slowly side to side so we can tell that it's not sped up, because it certainly looks like it. Amazing stuff.
  • legoalert33, on 07/18/2008, -0/+13*****
