  4. Kevin  Says:

    Lol whats the point of going that fast!

  5. Patrick  Says:

    Holy shit

  6. Doug  Says:

    This guy may be fast but what he’s playing sounds dumb and has an inflection level of zero. While I respect what he’s doing, this isn’t something that somebody should “quit” over.

  7. Ben  Says:

    Is it just me or does he look like he’s having no fun while playing?

    And when you get to a certain speed it all sounds like buzzing so its really pointless to go that fast

  8. i stay high  Says:

    god damn. he almost doubles his bpm ( beats per minute ). jesus fucking christ, this guy makes michael angelo batio look like a fucking kid. i give this guy props on his speed and technique.

  12. monsterpop  Says:

    yep,fast as fuck and all
    but,,how incredibly dull

  13. Chad  Says:

    ya know….when this video is completely forgotten in the next month, Jimi Hendrix will still be world renowned and remembered for being sloppy and slow. But then again, I think its playing with heart and soul that matters when it comes to performing on a guitar. As Impressive and skillful as that was, it reminded me of someone getting ready to paint your portrait with a digital camera. Think about that one. Peace!!

  14. thomas  Says:

    its a SPEED contest, not a how cool it sounds contest.
    the point of going that fast is because he was trying to break a record.
    and i rather be able to play fast than slow. any idiot can play slow and boring.
    great vid rich.

  15. Ace Warloch  Says:

    That was pretty cool but I’ve seen Manowar’s bassist Joey Demaio play the same thing on BASS!!! - it’s on Manowar’s 1988 Kings of Metal album retitled “Sting of the Bumblebee.” Manowar also hold the record as the world’s loudest band. Obviously this guy is a Manowar fan. And for those who don’t get or question the speed record thing, the answer is the same answer you get from asking people why they climb the highest mountains or drive a car as fast as possible or stand in front of a charging bull… Think about it, people always want to do what hasn’t been done yet or at the very least do it better or faster or more insanely than before. And in my opinion, it’s human nature at it’s finest - completely the fuck insane! Rock on!

  16. Grof  Says:

    What the hell, dam thats fast

  17. Steve-O  Says:

    Regardless of how pleasant it is to listen to, I stand in awe of the level of discipline and dedication it took him to get to that level. So it took him sitting in his room practicing for 20 years to pull it off. At the end of it, he accomplishes a personal goal. How many of us quit when it gets too hard? That’s why I can’t shred, cuz I

  18. Steve-O  Says:

    quit when it got hard. Well done man!!

  19. JayTheHatGuy  Says:

    Thank you thomas for pointing out that this was a contest. He doesn’t look like he’s having fun because he’s focused on what he’s trying to do. I’ve been im musical contests during my playing days and know it takes focus and concentration.

  20. coma  Says:

    so much practice…so much precision..and people still hate…the dude is amazingly fast…jeez

  21. Daniel  Says:

    Speed is only one part of anything musically.Just because your fast doesn’t mean you can put out music that’s worth a fuck.Still , fast is good.

  22. Jared  Says:

    Jesus tap dancing Christ!

  23. chubby rockstar  Says:

    Holy shit thats badass!

  24. Tom  Says:

    Even though I think it started sounding crappy cause of how fast he was going, that was still fucking ridiculous! That’s INSANE that anyone can play at that speed!!

  25. rawr  Says:

    well he looks like he is haveing fun…
