ok frenchie, i agree that eric johnson aint that fast. but what do you think about nuno bettencourt. the guy is fast and clean. nevermind what he did in flight of the wounded bumblebee. how about midnight express, unconditionally, play with me...etc. no one also mentioned acoustic greats such as al dimeola and paco de lucia. paco is sooo fast, and he's not even using a pick!! youve got to admit that is impressive
