the whole video, and especially 2:43 to the end
i find that speed much more exhilarating than the flight of the bumblebee

just so all of you know, hiromi composes all of her own songs
Two in harmony surpasses one in perfection.

Not as fast as flight of the bumblebee, but besides it being an awesome song, it's harder to play. If you hear it carefully you'll see how insane this is (lots of voices)

If you just wanna see speed, start at 1:40 or 2:20



Also, her reaction at the end is quite adequate :D



Egh, Yuja Wang is good but nothing truly remarkable imo

From a pure technical standpoint, those last vids (bumblebee, house of flying fingers, and tom and jerry) are fucking crazy. I don't understand how they have such precision and dexterity at that high of speeds (and I've played piano for 12 years).

i'd like to see you play at the speeds shawn lane, guthrie govan, or john mclaughlin do when they improvise ahahah

edit: in fact, i'd like to see you shred with even a quarter of the accuracy that michael angelo batio can, because your claim is total bullshit


you would completely eat your words if you saw me play the guitar...and you completely missed my point. My point is i'm NOT great at improvising or composing music which is why I'm not a great guitarist. I used to go to guitar camps when I was younger and there were tons of 14 year olds who could play the music of all the people you just mentioned...and I used to know 'speed lives' by michaelangelo by memory...it's not that hard...i learned at the end of my first year of guitar playing....it's just requires a lot of practice and a metronome.

being able to play something that someone else composed is easy. Brainless practice with a metronome. You really don't have to think much at all...A lot of these old shred pieces I learned when I was younger I couldn't write down in sheet music or play slowly. If I just start playing at normal tempo my hands will just automatically start playing them because it's muscle memory and not anything I have to consciously think about.

Yeah, I guess most people who just pick up the guitar and dick around and aren't that serious about it may find it "impossible"...but for the serious players who actually devote a lot of time to it find that technical skill is like 30% of the battle....look at BB KING, one of the greatest guitarists of all time and he plays maybe 5 notes every 2 minutes.

~\O_o/~ well post up a video because i doubt you can shred speed lives with any sort of accuracy. plus speed lives is a good 4-5 notes per second slower than shawn lane's fastest parts.

plus, one of your claims was that speed isn't impressive because guitarists are not making music with that speed. jazz fusion players like the ones i mentioned play as fast or faster than the most shredders, while improvising and making great music, which was my original point: speed be impressive and make great music.

@ manitou:

that della vega vid had its audio replaced. look for the audience filmed version, it shows that when he plays it sounds like a complete mess and he's playing maybe 1-2 notes out of every 4.

notice how especially the last half of the video sounds like his guitar is farting. the official video with the replaced audio sounds like ass anyways, even at 170 bpm none of his notes are clearly defined.

http://www.petrucciforum.com/forums/showpost.php?p=700071&postcount=95

there's a great post by willjay where he slows down the audio and video and shows that della vega only picks about 3 out of 4 notes, while just sliding around and fumbling the rest.

hmmm... scratch that, it appears guinness DOES have a world record for speed, but it's not della vega lol.

this is what real 20nps (which is what della vega claims to be playing) sounds like


at 2:38, he starts playing alternating groups of 6s and 9s (sextuplets and nontuplets), alternate picked and string skipping. its about 20.4 notes per second, you can check his own transcription in Power Licks (this is an instructional video), its example 54 on page 35.
