The Fastest Guitar Player in the World is UNBELIEVABLE

[swingset]

I was a viral hit in late 2008 for briefly holding the slowest guitarist on the planet title, with a video showing that I was playing a consistent and clean version of Eruption at 1bpm. The video was 4 hours long.

[Cymbaline]

1600 BPM=26 beats per second
16th notes at 26 bps=106.6 notes per second, which is almost the frequency of the open A string on the guitar

I'm still in the process of setting the World's Slowest Guitar Player record.

Any day now we'll hit that first note.

My great granddad when he was a toddler hit the keys of a toy piano, he never played again in his life until the week before he passed away at 92...does that makes him the "worlds slowest pianist?"

If you can play it slowly, you can play it quickly.

[maximhartmann]

if you can play it slow, you can play it fast.

I don't think anything is impossible if you work hard and practice enough. I've been doing it for nearly 15 years now and I'm up to 5 notes a month. I'll be releasing my 1st video soon.

"Alright we're gonna start very slow"

*350 Bpm*

Of course it's Flight of the Bumblebee.



Fun fact: Guinness does not recognize any attempt on this world record anymore due to the massive amount of people "trying" and "breaking" the record. We do not have to hear another sacrilegious rendition of this piece, thanks to the efforts of TwoSet exposing them

[doomerius]

Real or fake, whatever.

It sounds B A D

I remember watching these videos when I began really paying attention to guitarists, I have been playing guitar for 30 years, this was what I was watching in the pioneering days of the internet.
Brings back memories for me, thank you for putting this together!!!

[Mr.Insane]

I looked at my Guitar
My Guitar : Don't even Think about it
Me : 😐

[Peasmouldia]

The astronaut guy who played guitar on the space-station was going 18, 000 mph+, that's fast...

[DarrellMarquardt]

First guy sounds like he just found a Pokémon on gameboy.

[nikaxeguitar]

Whoa! Such a great video! Thanks my dude.

Tyler: is being super fair, gives everyone a chance as a guitarist and person

11 minutes of Music is Win telling us that the fastest guitar player in the world isn't fake, but is fake at the same time

This video never gets old
When you stand up and the arms are still there it just gets me every time
I like really long bends and stuff like that the whammy bar which just seems better played slow in any case and one thing to notice here is most people's hand movements are slow and steady
Even when they're moving very very fast they're just waiting on a sound to bounce their sound off of and that's what makes you think that they are going fast is they are so steady that they can bounce that sound off that delay it just the right time to make it seem like it's coming out at a million miles an hour when in reality your fingers don't really have to move that fast you just have to catch that note at just the right time it's more about being steady and smooth and slow sometimes a pause where you don't play anything can be the best part of the song then you come in strong make your guitar sound like a lightsaber fighting Darth Vader throwing some bends to slow it back down
Same thing with the bins you catch that sound that's coming out and then you make your sound and then you do the same thing until it dies out every split second that you wait before you catch that wave is going to change what it's going to sound like if you go in too fast it's also going to change what it sounds like you won't be messing up it's just a different speed wherever that noise is if you come in it before or after it the closer you can get to it the faster it's going to sound if you're a half a millisecond away from that beat it's going to sound like you're flying to space

[ssjonupants]

The perfect video to teach non-guitarists that speed isn't everything and ultimately means nothing when comparing guitarists.
