well, I own an actual copy!!! found it in a store for a buck!!!
Fastest guitarist you know!!!
# 1
Joe Holmes is probably the fastest guitar there is, he played with ozzy when zakk left after ozzys ozzmosis cd he never did any albums with ozzy but toured alot with him and he is probably faster than any guitarists you guys have mentioned
# 2
by the way, frank gambale has played with shawn lane and he said that his jaw hit the floor when he heard him play, and I guarantee you, it's totally true, shawn LANE beats any guitar player by 120 bpm!!! (no hype, just facts, try to grab an mp3 by shawn lane, and you'll see!!)

The fastest guitarplayer on this planet (and i shalt be struck by lightning if this is not true) is CHRIS IMPELLITTERI.
I used to think that Joe Berger, Malmsteen and Petrucci are the fastest guys.. untill i heard this record:

I first thought that the record has been manipulated... but then i saw a learning-video from Impellitteri.. and what i saw there was unbelievable..

That Impellitieri guy is pretty fast. I think I got carpal tunnel syndrome from just listening to that MP3 you posted. To all of those Shawn Lane supporters, post one of his MP3's on this thread for comparison. I still think Paul Gilbert is just as fast. Unless one of these guys manages to break the sound barrier, I really think that they all sound the same. You can only play so fast. There are limits to the the human body. Any minor difference would be completely inaudible.
:cool:

lane is FAST because he has a different technique to play scale that involve one note per string... He can do gigantic stretches I'll try to find a MP3

I'm not quite satisfied, because that's not his fastest tune, but you can see he has a nice tone... I'll keep on looking for his lane's blitz, which is his fastest!

O.K, it's possible to stretch 5,6,7 or even 8 frets if you are right up the guitar neck but only playing one at a time, that's a stretch from 1st to 4 finger, not between two in between these yeah? How many limbs does shawn have? Is he an octopus? Any chance of you posting some tab with this sort of idea on it? does he use standard guitar tuning?
If I couldn't laugh at myself how could I laugh at someone less ridiculous?

you can check out his videos at REH... And he actually uses uncommon picking patterns, inspired by banjo players. When he plays that kinds of stretches, he moves them diatonically, so that it sound likes a repetitive pattern of three notes up, then down, then up, etc...
here's an idea, pentatonic minor in A
___________________________________3_____5____8____
__________________________3_____5______8___________
__________________2____5_____7_____________________
__________2____5____7______________________________
_______5____7______________________________________
__5__8_____________________________________________
the first note of every triplet in picked, while the two others are fingerpicked...
Then, you can apply the same pattern , but to the pentatonic box higher on the neck.

Jason Becker, Vinnie Moore, Paul Gilbert, Malmsteen. As for me, Jason Becker would have to be the fastest.

fastest guitarist I know...is my drummer(Dion) actually...His pinky and ring finger were paralyized in an accident and he plays drums now...but, before then...man he would have me on the floor crawling at his feet! I loved jamming with him and I still do...but, I miss his guitar style. :))
Practice...Practice...PRACTICE!!!! It really does make perfect. :)

Tony MacAlpine is inhumanly fast, not only does he play Chopin brilliantly on the piano but he
is possibly technically the best rock guitarist I've ever heard; I'll check out Shawn Lane and Jason Becker before I pass judgement. He's quite like Malmsteem but in my opinion even better. Listen to Evolution and Maximum security - they're the only ones I've heard but I can guarantee that they are excellent. There's a guy called rusty cooley who produced an instructional video called "shred guitar manifesto" - there's a video of him playing some mega sweep picking and it's horribly demoralising, it ain't just fast he covers some serious fretboard in the process too.
Isn't this emphasis on speed a little irrelevant though? If you want to hear speed nothing beats a keyboard (if you like Jazz piano check out Art Tatum, if you don't you are missing out), for me the great thing about the guitar is it's shear expressiveness, that's why I rate Satriani as probably the best guitarist ever. While we're on the subject of great players I notice that nobody has yet mentioned A WOMAN, why are so few of them playing electric guitar? If you've ever heard Jennifer Batten you may well feel - as I do - that guitarists just don't get better. She can play Satriani style stuff, scott Henderson, Holdsworth, you name it she kicks ass at it and her tone is awesome.

Whan I asked that question, it was only to see if there were people outside of those that we usually hear in those threads, such as van halen ,rhoads, or Satriani...
I know art tatum, and some jazz soloists can beat hands down those guitarists everyone talked about, but it was still fun to hear about those fastest guys...
I've seen mac alpine, because he is actually backing Vai on his world tour, and he is awesome...
As for shawn lane, he is said to be the 'art tatum of guitar', because he is one of the best specialists of this pianist in the world... So, go check him out... I really think that he is the fastest though, because not only is he fast, but he plays be bop lines, and not arpeggios, like you can hear with malmsteem and becker, when you slow lane's tapes, you hear a normal jazz tune, whereas you slow malmsteem, what you hear is a warmup exercice...

Has anyone heard of Francesco Fareri and Neal Nagaoka? I heard that Francesco is really fast but his albums are hard to find because he is from France or something. How about Micheal Angelo, Jonas Hornquist, Ritchie Kotzen, oh yeah and can't forget about George Bellas!
