Far from the fastest!!! Rusty Cooley, George Bellas and Francesco Farerri to name but three players that are significantly faster (check them out if you don't believe it... those Guitar magazine polls are far from fact). However, Angelo is VERY fast and extremely accurate (I like him a lot BTW). As far as his tone goes, it's not great in that video but amazing on tracks like Time Traveller (horrible composition market with brief passages of high genius) and No Boundaries ( a shred classic).

But anyway, back to the topic of the thread... I find this guy to be good at arpeggios but find the compositions to be quite boring. Just a collection of arps following the bass line without any noticeable legatto or flashy runs (except for Viking Warrior). The tone is good for capturing the sweeps but it's not a nice lead tone and the backing midi sounds terrible. This guy certainly has promise if he can widen his bag of tricks though, good speed and accuracy. My favourte track was Viking Warrior because it displayed more than just arps. It's a well composed piece of pure shred. I think it would sound a lot better if it was recorded professionally and also had a real bass player and drummer. Pure, just wondering is this your music?
