Musical? Uhm...
Great technique though. His hands barely move. Very very efficient.

my thoughts too. i bet he's a great player, but it looks like he's really just shooting for a world record here. he's ridiculously efficient though. you can barely even tell he's moving his fingers here

I thought I heard Barry Manilow play 'Flight of the Bumblebee' that fast on a kazoo.......just sayin'  :toothy11:

Yeah that is not meant to be musical but just a world record.

I can play that in like 70 BPM or so ... and still sound shitty  :icon_jokercolor:

All I can hear is pick noise...

 

[Alfang]

I wish I could do that, that way when I played normal speed, I'd be good

 

[CouchSpud]

After he finished the 260 bpm section: "Dayum"
320 bpm pops up at the corner: "Oh f*** me...."

 

[dNA]

I wish I could do that, that way when I played normal speed, I'd be good

I would argue that this is the opposite of the truth

 

[Alfang]

So your calling me a liar? I don't get it.  I do it all the time, practice stuff faster than it's supose to be played , and when played at correct speed it's easy.

So make your argument, convince me. convince me i'm better playen faster than slower.

 

[baskruit]

So your calling me a liar?

Hush.

 

[Superlizard]

Well of course it's musical... it's Flight of the Bumblebee.

Does it have mojo?  Not in the slightest... but that's not the point here.

And muted pick noise at that. Oh well... The thing with these "records" is that they reflect athleticism, not musicality, and too many confuse the two.
