moreblack Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 I think Vai would be my pick.Although Batio is pretty wicked. So is Paul Gilbert. But neither of them is as immaginative, in fact nobody's as immaginative as Vai. That dude truly has no limits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ringo Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Steve Vai is proven to be the fastest guitarist ever. he holds the world record for most notes per second. but hendrix is still the best. shredding isnt everything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read in a guitar magazine (can't remember the name) that Michael Angel Batio was proven to be the fastest.. I dunno EDIT: Although to you Hendrix may be the best, he honestly wasn't that technically proficient as many guitarists have developed through the years...

AxlisOld Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 sorry bro, hendrix died in what, 70, 71? Eddie van Halen (or yngwie depending on who you believe) invented tapping, the vh1 album came out in 1979, hendrix didnt tap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moreblack Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 you can see on the G3 DVDs when Vai and Satch jam together. That Vai learned everything Satriani knows, and then learned 4x more stuff...His arsenal of tricks and licks outweighs Satch's by quite a lot.

Vai progressed farther than Satch did in his playing. Edited November 25, 2005 by Forsaken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
