That's is not important the important thing is that Joe Stump, John McLaughlin, Paco de Lucía and Al Di Meola are incredible and faster guitarrist. But I think that Al Di Meola is the faster with absolute clean and he plays soft and hard.
Ynwie's "Far beyond the sun" have arround 16.2 note per second except the tremolo picking is arround 21.6 bps.
If you play just 19 bps then you can play "Flight of the bumblebee" 16ths on 285 bpm easy, right?
