Guitarists like Yngwie Malmsteen have redefined what’s possible on guitar. But there’s a problem. Modern players have taken speed to a whole new level. This is Shred and today I want to answer one simple question. How fast is too fast? Back in the day speed was used as a dynamic element to enhance music (Vivaldi). But in modern times it’s just gotten ridiculous. What the fuck happened? Is this even music? Stay tuned as I break down the tempo at which we first perceive something as being FAST. I'll also reveal the upper limit that must not be passed muhahaha
