It was a joke, nothing but repetive shreds (and nowhere near the fastest I've heard).

There is no such song by MA called 'Yngwie can't touch this' ... If you wanna listen to this guy , check out "full force" & "planet gemini" , then come back and argue.

And yes fingerpickers can play just as fast as alternate pickers.

On elec ??! Can you prove that ?

I'm sure everyone here has seen crossroads, and they remember the duel at the end where Steve Vai loses to Macchio. Kanengiser did those amazing, lightning speed arpeggios with fingerpicking. Nothing I've heard MA do comes close to that, not to mention thats not his fastest piece.

Now , that wasn't lightning speed at all ... It was a hard piece when I first learned to play it , but then I managed to do it a lot faster.

If you haven't heard MA doing faster scales and arps , then definitely you've heard nothing for this man.
