True speed can be a great tool, some songs requires fast licks. I just hate people who put a ultra fast lick in a song that doesn't require it.

I feel like some fast guitarist are not willing to let there fast speed go for the good sake of a song in fear that someone tells them 'you can do better than that sissy solo'. I think, that' s my own opinion, that when you're consider one of the fastest player, you tend to only do fast lick to stay in that category.

I did take a listen at this guys music. I hate myself when I kepp a close mind. You can see that he does master his style but I wasn't caught by his song. It's technically good but I don't know it misses something. I can't get my finger on it but there's something in his songs that doesn't catch my ear. I must admit that he has a great technique, but in my opinion is not that fast. At least not enough to name his cd "that fastest guitar on earth".
