[bluepowder]

Prolly been done to death,but...after Guitar Ones list,there need be some justice in this world...

plus,i remember the time i thought Kirk Hammett and Kerry King are da bomb :lol:

So here goes...my votes(in no order as usual)

Shawn Lane
Jason Becker
Allan Holdsworth
Vinnie Moore
John Petrucci
Paul Gilbert
Rusty Cooley
Herman Li
Frank Gambale
Buckethead

NOTICE:this is not the BEST or GREATEST guitar shredders but just the Fastest.(IMO)

I find it hard to believe there are many faster than shawn lane ofcrouse articulation and accuracy is understood

I would love to see some videos of the pleyers you mentioned and any others.Speed is sucha turn on

 

[strats]

i'm sure gilbert was the fastest when he played the drill song

 

[ShredCow]

I agree. Shawn Lane is mind numbing fast. Even with a 2 finger run.

 

[sepultura]

Any shredder list is incomplete without the incredible Greg Howe.

The guy is fast and all, but it really sounds like noise. I'm sure he sounds better on a proper recording.

 

[Gr3y]

speed without feeling and melodic lines = nothing
tts my personal point of view.

 

[psionic]

yes yes we all know that la....they talking about speed here let them la why always sure got some guy come in and say this :lol:

 

[ShredCow]

Nice to have you contributing again Pisonic.

I gotta youtube some Shawn Lane again. The man is freaky fast but yet, there's so much going on! Its insane.

 

[detroit_red]

I used to like all these shred metal music but now it's kinda irritating .... I mean, have some singing for god's sakes!

 

[nocturnaldekadence]

one word: Bumblefoot.



Oh, and Chris Impelliteri as well.

 

[MichaelAngelo]

i tot tt time rolling stones put Michael Angelo fastest? I agreed with that until i saw herman li and thought he was equally fast or faster..hmm..

 

[tany]

any one for yngwie malmsteen?

 

[Cavett]

SPEED = EMOTION...

 

[crozzfire]

how come no malmsteen?

 

[detroit_red]

Cause we are afraid he will sue us for not putting him as number 1 ... Or just because of the fact that he actually called one of his fans stupid for asking him how fast he could play ...

No doubts about that.

AND YES SPEED = EMOTION!

MAXIMUM SPEED WRIST!
