Well, at the very least I just want to explain about what IS real and what IS NOT real. The claims of anything beyond 18 or 19 notes in a second are most likely bogus. And even those 18-19 nps' are just little bursts.

If a guitarist can play at 13-14 nps and get in a band---they will be regarded as a virtuoso. Heck, Zakk Wylde usually only plays sixteenths at around 170-180 bpm and most of the time he gets mentioned as a virtuoso.
Back In Black isn't a song. It's a divine call that gets channeled through five righteous dudes every thousand years or so. That's why dragons and sea monsters don't exist anymore.
