fastest guitar solo

post #1 of 17
Thread Starter 

I‘ve heard of the fastest talker in the guinness book of world records , but I haven't heard of the fastest guitar solo....I figure its a bad Idea to say whats the best guitar solo being that everyone will be biased towards different bands. so does anyone know of the fastest technical solo? it doesnt from a band or even a good song, but just the fastest.

Sorry, started naming fast players rather than fast solos.

 

Here's one that will at least enter the race respectably:  Pat Martino - Live!

 

The whole album.

 

Another is the song Israfel off of his album Baiyina.

 

McLaughlin's song "Midnight Race" off of the first Mahavishnu album (Inner Mounting Flame).

 

This isn't the fastest thing ever, but a solo worth hearing (starting at 5:30 or so):

The first names that popped into my head was Yngwie Malmsteen and Steve Vai.

 

 

Malmsteen V's Vai

Whee-Haa! Those are all great. I wonder whether Yngwie and Steve are biological sons of John McLaughlin. Anyway, here's what appears to be a whole concert or nearly so from the Mahavishnu Orchestra, and the sound is reasonably good.  This is for when fast is embedded in the music:

Somewhere along the 21 minute song "I" by Meshuggah is one of the fastest things I've ever heard. Meshuggah is just ridiculous.

Malmsteen is a freaking monster! but i believe Petrucci back in his days used to go hyperspeed fingerwise.

Meshuggah rule on many levels. Tomas Haake said they couldn't reproduce "I" live because "It's totally random" and they "don't know how it goes".blink.gif
