Who is the worlds fastest guitarist?

Answer 1

Monster Guitarist Randall Padilla plays at 23.5 notes per second- 2.2 notes per second faster than the current official Guinness Della Vega record.

Scientific answers say that Ally Macdonald is the fastestm guitar player in the world.

Exactly WHAT "scientific" 'answers'-(?)...

Tiago Della Vega is currently the official Guinness world record holder playing Flight of the Bumblebee at 320bpm, OR, because the piece is comprised of 4 notes per beat...

320 X 4 = 1280 notes in one minute, divided by 60 seconds, equals at any given time a maximum of 21.3 notes per second. An astonishing feat.

Michael Angelo Batio is N-O-T any where near the worlds fastest as there is a common folk legend (fairy tale). Batio plays only 16.5 notes per second- JULY 2008 GUITAR WORLD.

Monster Guitarist Randall Padilla plays at 23.5 notes per second- 2.2 notes per second faster than the current official Guinness Della Vega record. Padilla plays faster than the current official Guinness record set in 2008 by Della Vega. Major world press claim that Padilla will play 26 notes per second on May 31st, 2010 in Modesto, CA. The record attempt will be witnessed by University music scholars, College music professors, press, and TV, conducted through software/pedal/computer where the notes will be projected on screen with corresponding bpm meter. That's failsafe. 26 notes per second, that's 13 notes in half a second...

If MacDonald can present contrary evidence, by all means, please present it. The heart of the issue is HOW MANY NOTES PER SECOND DOES THE PLAYER PLAY. That is usually accompanied by some kind of metronome setting so that the notes per second can be measured. And the player MUST PICK EVERY NOTE, not sweep picking, not tapping, not legato, no power drills. And the player must play at least some kind of scale passage, exercise, piece and not simply one note or an open string. If you have anything, please present it.

Padilla plays at 23.5 notes per second.

Answer 2

It's really a matter of personal opinion.

If you were a metal fan you might say that Kirk Hammett or Kerry King is the greatest.

If you were a rock fan you might say that Buckethead or Slash is the best.

If you liked folk you might say Paul Kelly is the best.

All guitar players, famous or not have their own personal styles which makes them an individual guitarist.

There is no BEST guitarist. Only people who play it well and don't play it well.
