TIAGO DELLA VEGA – FASTEST GUITAR PLAYER
A friend shared this video over facebook and I being a guitar player as well was intrigue by its caption, Guinness Book World of Record, the fastest guitar player. This video was a video for Guinness claim ID 211729. EM&T school music that was made on May 2008. This is ONLY a demonstration of alternate picking speed, and the technique used to obtain that speed on the music “flight of the bumble bee.
Well if you will watch his video, youast will be amaze of his speed. Considering at that speed with accuracy on the notes is something. Why did not I heard of him before? Well this video, his speed reaches 320 beats per minutes but he has another video where he visited Tokyo, he did a 370 beats per minute.
I know fast is not only that needs to be there but watch his other videos and you will see that he is not all speed and I love his music. A commenter on his youtube page says and quoted:
I dont understand why people are so irritated with his speed. If you got a fast car would you want to drive it real? slow or just pump on the gas? Well TDV has got a fast car and obviously also a slow car.
Just watch the video to see what I and he is talking about.
