Re: How Fast Can You Play???
I suppose about 32nd notes at about 200 bpm, sometimes peaking at 64th notes with triplets---BUT, 99% of the time I just don't incorporate it because, even when clean and accurate, there is really very little call for it. I like to know that if I can play something that fast, then I feel confident that I can tackle works at various tempos that call for a casual feel and some nice phrasing a listener can warm up to. Speed can impress so long as you don't do it that often.

Re: How Fast Can You Play???
I never measured my speed but i can do any malmsteen song i've tryed so far. But there's no need for it in most situations. A nice high-speed black metal solo can be fun but shredding is more a show-off than real music. I quite like satch and vai since their music has some groove to it and soul and imo it's not that fast or hard to play,just fun.

Mike Campeseis a friend of mine (he lives upstate from me); we've played a couple of shows together, and I've taken some lessons from him. He's an outstanding guitar player!!YJM_Rocks said:

Re: How Fast Can You Play???
I'm confused as to what 16th notes are . . . do you mean you set the metronome at say 100 BPM, and then you are playing 16 notes in each beat? So like 26.6 notes per second? Cause I have trouble pushing much past four notes per beat at 110-120 BPM . . .

Re: How Fast Can You Play???
No, 16th notes with a metronome referes to playing 4 notes per beat of the metronome.
So you are playing 16th notes at 110 to 120BPM, if that helps you.
As for me, im not too fast. I've only been playing about a year and a half, and I dont want to develope any bad habbits. Right now I can do a regular scale around 110BPM and chromatics closer to 125.
