Okay...I have a few things to say. First off, Lalimacefolle, if I played Malmsteen's CD any faster it would be so blurred that I couldn't distinct one note from the other. That is a major problem with speed. You have to have a lot of talent to be able to make each note distinguishable and still extremely fast. I mean, I can play REALLY fast...but it sounds like royal CRAP because all the notes are blurred and mixed.

Now, technically speaking...yes, you are right. There are a few people that are a lot faster than Yngwie. But I haven't heard ANY that can make it that clear and who doesn't use tapping. EVERY shredder uses taps and I kind of find that as cheating. *cough* eddie van halen *cough* Sorry.

Okay, now my questions...
Aiwass says that Shawn Lane uses standard tuning...well, what the hell does Malmsteen use?

My other question...
Is it possible to play 466.7 beats per second????

Which brings me to my final question...
HOW THE HELL DO THEY KNOW HOW MANY BEATS PER SECOND HE WAS HITTING??!! WHAT KIND OF MACHINE CAN CHECK IT?
