Sorry if this has already been covered by someone else.

I agree completley...if it was just about trilling notes as fast as you can,it would probly some unknown banjo player in the back woods or something.

It would make much more sense if it was "who can play the harmonic minor scale the fastest" e.c.t. but even that is tough to answer.

Disregarding what I just said,i'll vote for Michael 'dough rolls' Romeo as the fastest.
