But was it strict alternate picking? That is the benchmark that is used to level the playing field? All of them cam play faster when using arpeggio, two handed tapping, and other techniques.

If it fits that criteria of being strict alternate picking, I would be happy to submit the sample to Willjay for analysis.

Actually, NASA Commander Pierre Thuot played a Martin Backpacker guitar on the Space Shuttle, going about 17,500 miles per hour back in 1994.
So technically that makes him the fastest guitar player.

ok..bad joke.
I'll leave now.

Della Vega beat his own record 750 BPM

This guy has a record certificate for 2000 BPM verified by the University of North Carolina.

Here is an article about a 14 year old kid who has record for most notes in a second verified using special equipment at UC Davis
