This video never gets old When you stand up and the arms are still there it just gets me every time I like really long bends and stuff like that the whammy bar which just seems better played slow in any case and one thing to notice here is most people's hand movements are slow and steady Even when they're moving very very fast they're just waiting on a sound to bounce their sound off of and that's what makes you think that they are going fast is they are so steady that they can bounce that sound off that delay it just the right time to make it seem like it's coming out at a million miles an hour when in reality your fingers don't really have to move that fast you just have to catch that note at just the right time it's more about being steady and smooth and slow sometimes a pause where you don't play anything can be the best part of the song then you come in strong make your guitar sound like a lightsaber fighting Darth Vader throwing some bends to slow it back down Same thing with the bins you catch that sound that's coming out and then you make your sound and then you do the same thing until it dies out every split second that you wait before you catch that wave is going to change what it's going to sound like if you go in too fast it's also going to change what it sounds like you won't be messing up it's just a different speed wherever that noise is if you come in it before or after it the closer you can get to it the faster it's going to sound if you're a half a millisecond away from that beat it's going to sound like you're flying to space

[@springbloom5940]

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.

Wow, very interesting. I knew that The Beatles did it, but it's very interesting if Metallica did. Do you know sources that say it's the case? I'm really interested how records in general in many cases were made to sound so good. There are always more tricks to discover. For example I've learned recently that pizzicato notes in orchestra are often replaced with MIDI in order to sound more tight. Also the piano+guitar note in Sanitarium is really interesting and not obvious.

[@joshyjoshyjosh]

Ok but look up Kevin Heiderich's 100% legit cover of MoP at I believe 300 BPM. He picks every single note cleanly, in a one take video. He is transparent that in certain parts he reduces the number of picked notes because of him having to play it at 300 BPM.

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.

[@kyleb490]

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 !!

[@surfdigby]

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.

[@CommanderMouse72]

The violin ones are pretty funny to watch

[@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.

[@kurtgrossoehme2691]

The MATH says 1600bpm/60 seconds=26.66 notes per second. No way a single string can be audibly plucked in an efficient manner that fast.

[@DDracee]

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

[@biscobisco1882]

@@DDracee His math is wrong, but I disagree that there a many players out there who are capable of clean tremolo picking past even 15-16nps.

[@DDracee]

@@biscobisco1882 well it wasnt clean in the videos either, just talking about max raw speed the frequency you get from tensing so hard you shake, or from when youre shivering, is roughly 16hz, then x2 cuz you can pick on the way back, im sure anyone who bothers practising for speed without care for cleanliness could break 20s not really the same thing but i used to be able to 30 on guitar hero, pretty darn close to that theoretical max

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!

I had a guitar teacher when I was a kid. He was this cool guy name Ozzy(yeah I know..). A few months in I asked him how difficult a song he could play and he pulled out Flight of the bumble bee. He played it faster than I would have thought possible, and it actually did sound similar to the first guy. This was on a strat IIRC(it was like 28 years ago). He said he made some mistakes though but fuck it if I caught them. That is still the craziest guitar speed I've seen I'm person in my life.

[@erixcrews1756]

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.

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

[@FairPlay0007]

Isn't there a minimum and a maximum value of BPM for something to be musical?

[@AMetalPotato]

No, because you can play long notes over a fast BPM or short notes over a slow BPM. For example, an eighth note in a 60 BPM tempo would measure half a second, while a quarter note in a 120 BPM tempo would measure the same, meaning you can easily play notes as short as 128ths if the tempo is slow enough, and you can have trouble playing notes as long as whole notes if the tempo is fast enough (and vice versa, you can play easily in a fast tempo if the notes are long enough, and you can have troubles playing in a slow tempo if the notes are short enough). This means you'd have to define both the length of the notes and the BPM in order to set a maximum or minimum. TL;DR: BPM is not everything.
