to play it fast, it's played very very sloppy. Also, the fast part is with legato, the slow part isn't. If it is a hoax, why do such effort in recording it first with all picking, then recording it with legato and then speeding it up ? There are too many little things that make it almost impossible to be fake.
Ofcourse I wont say there isn't a chance for a hoax, but it's very undoubtly imho.
