Strings resonate at a certain frequency, meaning that theoretically there is a limit to how short of a note can be articulated, without bleed over into the next note. An anecdote to illustrate the issue... Master of Puppets has parts of it sped up. Not because Hetfield couldn't play it at speed, but because the recording wasn't capturing the articulation of the notes, for the aforementioned reason. So, for the famous intro riff, for example, it was downtuned, played at a slower tempo and then sped up to match the correct tempo and tuning. The result is that incredibly clean, tight riff, no one can ever make sound quite right. If you listen, you can also hear the difference in the texture of the distortion. A dead giveaway that something has been manipulated, is clear, precise articulation of individual notes, at ridiculous speed.

Also the piano+guitar note in Sanitarium is really interesting and not obvious.

That was fun to watch, thanks for putting it together. Over the years, a number of fantastic trumpet players have recorded versions of Flight of the Bumblebee that are incredible. There is one of Rafael Mendez from ages and ages ago, which he played on an instructional basis. In more recent years, Wynton Marsalis recorded a version that....you just gotta hear it. Obviously trumpet players need to breathe, which may make some people question the legitimacy. Super-advanced players can do what is referred to as "circular breathing". This is when you breathe in through your nose, pocket some air in your mouth while you do that, and therefore create a continuous flow of air. It is an extraordinarily difficult technique to learn, I was never able to do it, I had my hands full with other things I never felt I mastered, but both players use that technique in their recordings. Marsalis also used this technique to play "Moto Perpetuo", and he's just sick. The ability to breathe in that manner, maintain the musculature, control the airflow, and play such that it never sounds like you are oxygen starved even though there are times when you must be.....it is simply unreal. I strongly recommend you check out these two musicians.

I believe the act of playing guitar has to have feeling and Melody not just to be fast. If you look up the name Randall Padilla. He was the fastest guitar player in the world at one time. But he used it to develop a way to be melodic and play with feelings. Sometimes it's not what you do it's what you do with what you do.

Hey, I just wanna say that I've never learned so much from a teaching system before. When I first started playing like over 10 years ago, I kinda just learned cool songs that like I loved to play and just practiced those till I felt comfortable playing them. But I never realized how much music theory there really is and how much you can expand your knowledge playing. Like i rarely wanna play songs anymore and I just wanna learn music theory and different techniques on the guitar through the super system. Just a big thank you Tyler because I didn't think I'd would improve much more. I wasted so much time starting out. Like a year ago I posted a very crappy video of Highway to Hell on youtube that is just completely off beat. If you have any tips or tricks on trying to get down like learning the scales and understanding where to input them, please let me know ! Thanks so much man !!

Bad news Tyler. I am afraid that I found a way to prove he literally played every note. I was sitting here, laughing along with you, when suddenly it occurred to me to slow the video down to 0.25 in the SAME PLACE you slowed it down to 0.25, which mathematically gives us a total slow-down time of 1/16th the original playback speed. ONLY AT THIS SPEED was I able to begin to decipher the incredibly artistry and mechanical / technical prowess this young guitarist was actually demonstrating right before our eyes. Tears rolled off my cheeks as I watched in utter befoundment, as this boy ripped through note after blistering note. I am ashamed of you Tyler, for making fun of and bullying such a prodigy. I am ashamed of myself. Pearls before swine I guess. Next time do your research before you poke fun at a professional like this. Oh and also, that guy IS from Guinness World Records, this is a daughter company of Guinness. Once again, you would have known this had you done even a little research. (also please dont take this seriously, I am memeing)

Make a video of you playing his .25 speed at your .25 speed so that I can watch you watching him at .25 speed watching him watch him at .25 speed. This way we get irrefutable evidence of the mastery beholden before us. Should there be any doubters, I shall then make a video of me watching you at .25 speed watching him at .25 speed while watching him at .25 speed so that they can watch at .25 speed.

At least the first got some clarity in his notes and had decent enough fretting hand technique that it looked within the laws of physics. The others are just such a blur of notes (the chromaticism of the piece helps hide any wrong notes) that it's impossible to tell whether it's in time with the metronome or not. It's like the violin players that just tremolo as fast as they can and glissando up and down in the vague area of the notes because the result isn't clear enough to pick out what's going on.

[@johankowalsky2588]

you should try to put on your guitar 6 strings by 6 brands (for example: low E - Ernie Ball; A - Dunlop; D - D'Addario; G - DR; B - Fender; high E - Ibanez) that would be interesting

[@kcar1363]

My you have one brilliant mind

[@jcbleazy6220]

The problem with that is not all strings are the identical size. So you may have scale differences mid way through strings. D'adario's g3 may sit at a different thickness than elixirs g3. Even though the scale is still 9- 42

300 bpm is the fastest 4/4 time you can have because the 16th notes are 20Hz which is the lowest pitched frequency we can hear, that’s why many drum machine’s BPM limit is 300. If you disagree, then you can tune your concert pitch A to 26,400BPM.

Believe it or not, some people actually think I hold the record of 'World's Fastest guitar player' after performing Flight of the Bumblebee in 21seconds at the end of a short documentary I made about it. I actually highlighted some ways people cheat and I thought it was obvious that I was cheating on my performance as I even green screened Shia LeBoeuf in but people still believed it!!! In fact, I even made the clock go backwards in time to prove how you can cheat but no, I'm still the fastest in some peoples eyes!

[@looniper3551]

FOTB at anything over 400 is impossible. 999 BPM Flight is not Remotely Near possible. The proximal interphalangeal joint has to open to release the pressure holding the finger to the fret, then be shifted to a new position and closed enough to apply closing pressure to the new fret position. To do so in this timing would cause the fluid in the joint to literally boil, and the middle finger joint to explode from the resulting pressure. It is also faster than the signal from the brain to press/release can be sent from the brain To the hand and be acted on.

[@Tigershark-qy2gq]

Playing that fast makes a woodpecker fighting a mosquito sound. Every song has that knock and buzz. Antonio Salieri once commented to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart that some of his works were too fast, and had too many notes for the human ear to hear and fully enjoy. He was right. The human ear can only pick up so much, let alone enjoy it. After that it's a buzz and an eventual headache. Playing brilliant music fast that you can hear every note is where it's at. Buckethead and Steve Vai are where I think the limits of brilliance playing fast ends. Any faster and you don't get haunted by what's coming out of the instrument being played. Breakup of tempo and speed of note differences being played is what draws me personally to music. 300 bpm for a brief moment in a song is impressive. Doing it the entire song and it's where's my bloody Tylenol? Keep it at just over 200 BPM and play clean and you'll be in the turf of a proper guitar God.

[@zx7-rr486]

Yes. Once it goes "too" fast it just sounds mickey mouse, if you can hear the notes at all! I think 16th note triplets at 165bpm sound great and plenty fast enough when weaved into an expressive solo. At the end of the day it's about expression. However fast you play if you can deliver with expression then it's all good. May, Johnson. Malmsteen, Petrucci, Satch .. all very different players but they deliver their music with style.

actually that's not that impossible, most people would be able to do 20, human limit is more around 30ish, you forgot to account for the fact that there's more than one note per beat the math adds up to 106.6 notes per second for 1/16ths
