As some of you out there might know by now, we enjoy sharing YouTube videos of guitarists who claim to be the "world's fastest guitarist."
Mind you, we don't have a hand in declaring anyone the fastest, or the slowest/kindest/worst dressed, etc. We just get a kick out of watching these guys play — and we hope you feel the same way.
Case in point:
•Video: Sergiy Putyatov — the Fastest Guitarist in the World?
•Video: Guitarist Plays "Flight of the Bumblebee" at 1300 BPM
•Video: Vahid Iran Shahi — the Fastest Guitarist in the World?
Anyway, here's one that got past us. The video, "World's Fastest Guitar Player 1400 BPM," features a fleet-fingered guitarist named Phil Taylor. The clip, which was posted by Taylor, has garnered more than 100,000 views.
As always, enjoy — and draw your own conclusions!
