I revived it out of spite.

:D Hehe look at this, Guitartricks most popular thread was once again revived. I think this one should be put to rest coz it seems that this thread began 5 years ago and up till now it doesnt appear to have any solid conclusion at all.

Its better to read other threads in comparing who's better, like Hendrix vs Cobain, Clapton vs SRV, Hammet vs Dime, etc, since those topic are subjective and opinions are always right whoever you think is better.

But in this case, this thread can be proven by facts and figures, we can calculate the fastest so why debate on it. Whats worse......the fastest is always mistaken or even considered to be the best by others. So dudes I think we need a conclusion to all of this.

The Fastest credible guitarist right now is FRANCESCO FARERI. (Marcus Paus and Mr Cucumber is a hoax, Its proven to be edited and SPED Up.) He is definitely the fastest guitarplayer but certainly he is NOT the Best and its a bunch of $#*% Crap. The Fastest and the Best are two different things. I hope some aspiring guitarists hoping to be good would realize that.

Proof ? >http://www.francescofareri.com/fareri_shred2.wmv

AL DIMEOLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :eek:

there was lately a audio file that sounded like a Game Boy...

no, not that one.

Mark tremonti is fast, but he learned from Micheal Angelo so those are two fames names if you don't mind.

that was by Yngwie Malmsteen.....he was paid by Nintendo for that insane solo........Al Dimeola plays acoustic mostly.

I couldn't have said it any better,
I agree with you 100%.
It is what everybody on earth needs to realize.

i like to judge a guitarist on the "spine jingle crawl".....that feeling when the notes move you so much your spine gets wigged out.

He might not be the fastest, but Mark Knopfler is pretty damn quick fingered.

How about that David Gilmour guys???? :D
