Both on a guitar, a bass, and on tricky, but, check this out ....

WORLD RECORD GUITAR SPEED 2008 - Guinness World Records

that's super cool

Dude, I SHRED, HARDCORE .....
... however, admittedly, I'm not even a FRACTION of this dude's RAW speed

*sigh*

Meh, an exercise in futulity.

I wanna hear a machine play a guitar, I'll listen to a casio.

The Guinness speed records are done with a standard piece of music, play it over and over and you will get fast, maybe not freakish fast, but fast enough to youtube it.

Good point ...

This isn't really related but I don't want to start a new thread. Anybody listed to Gustavo Dal Farra? I think his stuff is top notch.

Gustavo Dal Farra JAMS IN SPAINS STREETS

Wow, he's great. Love that sound.

Rock on ...

Rachmaninoff, Piano Concerto No. 3 - Mov 1 (1/2) - Martha Argerich

Rachmaninoff, Piano Concerto No. 3 - Mov 1 (2/2) - Martha Argerich

My friend Darek (in Ct) is the BEST pianist I've ever seen; she's shit compared to him ...
(I give her mad props though, it's a hard [and awesome] piece; he's just, uhm, AWESOME!)

Rachmaninoff is no joke!

That guy can play pretty fucking fast. At first I thought... meh. No big, but once it kept going 280... 300.... 320, that's pretty impressive on a guitar.
What's impressive to me is not his left hand, but his right. To keep it going at that speed and so controlled is amazing. The Left hand is a bit easier since it's moving around and the basic fingering of the flight of the bumble bee is 3-2-1 move up some. The guitar also has frets which makes it easier to train the muscle to remember where to go.
But that right hand... holy shit!

And for your viewing pleasure...

Rachmaninov had big Hands

The Human iPod!

Ive seen him before! Pretty neat

Here's another:

A Musical Savant Shows Talent

The mom kind of scares me, though...

I'd like to play it... as a TAN-GO!

Sneaky!

Aww... but he's so cute.

Oh, I know ...
Again, I can rip ass, but I can't touch that ...

This was just fucking great!
Thanks for that share; it made my day!

Again, I can rip ass, but I can't touch that ...

Just to reiterate: Dave is totally humble. And awesome.

No, but I've practiced for YEARS ...
I'm saying I can't even come CLOSE ...

Just imagine what else he could do with that right hand ladies! Ever hear of that song "Flicking the Magic Bean"?

flicking = bad

I know all those Japanese celebrities. They're a bunch of idiots.

flicking = bad

What about "Gently Rubbing the Magic Bean, Starting Out Slowly and Steadily Increasing Speed until the Rubbing Gets Really Really Fast"?

you know that's the stuff.

are those the lyrics? very romantic.

Yeah, that's pretty much the whole song. I hear that dude's really good at it.

that's nice and straight of him to sing about clitoris stuff.

has he written any snowballing anthems? probably not, if he's straight.

No way dude, gay is the new straight!
