Shootout: World’s Fastest Guitar Player

The last time I checked, the world’s fastest guitar player (according to the Guinness Book of World Records) was set by Tiago Della Vega with the Flight of the Bumblebee at 320 Beats Per Minute

Now even at 170, it’s impressive… but just wait.

Okay, I know it’s not acoustic (maybe there should be a contest for that) but Tiago is very impressive.

Notice he’s got some distortion effects but it’s not overpowering.

Now the next video is another world’s fastest guitarist playing the same song (Flight of the Bumblebee. His name is John Taylor.

Well John is indeed going a lot faster…  but accuracy has to count, doesn’t it?

Or at least take some (or all) of the distortion off the guitar. What do you think?
