Yes...that man is definitely not hitting 466.7 bps. I think Lalimacefolle's 46.6 is a lot better. I calculated it out. Okay, now listen to this...if I play the G chord, I am hitting 6 strings, right? And no matter how fast I'm playing that chord...there are itty bitty microseconds in between each string. Well, I tried playing that G chord as fast as I could. Hitting about 8 - 10 chords per second. That means I am only getting 46 to 60 bps if you count every string that I hit. THAT'S WITH A FREAKIN' CHORD!!! Now, tell me...how can a person do 10 TIMES THAT while using SINGLE-STRING, LEAD PICKING?!!!!!!! That is humanly impossible.

But Michael Paus(or whatever his name is) is definitely the fastest guitarist I've heard. Those "Mickey Mouse" scales do sound like a weird type of slide.
