This post isn't about 'is speed better than this or that' it's just about the claims people make regarding speed. Giving a realistic view of how fast the fastest guys in town are playing. That's all.

The whole speed debate in terms of taste is for another day.

Yea that was me, sorry I recorded it and slowed it down it wasnt nearly as fast as it should be. At 140 i was only getting 6 notes in each beat and not very well. Its weird how I never thought to slow it down before thanks though now i know where i stand. but i got 9 hours of guitar in today
