Why does it have to be a competition?

I improve my technique because I enjoy pushing my limits, and I love playing fast.

I find playing fast really fun, and I'm not competing with anyone :s


That's good, as long as you enjoy it that's how it should be imo.

I just kind of get the feeling that out there you get some people who just try to compete to be the fastest, and that shouldn't be what the guitar is known for.

everyone is almost in denial that fast playing exists, and if you people hate fast playing so much then why bother posting a response on a forum about Shawn Lane?


No-one is "in denial" that fast playing exists (that's what we're busy discussing, isn't it?  If it doesn't exist, no discussion).  And has anyone used the word hate?  I don't think so, but I can't be bothered reading this whole thread again.  If they have, I apologise and concede the point.  :wink:

No offence, but you started this thread with a link to a YouTube clip and said "this is the best solo I've ever heard!"  You didn't say who or what it was.  Did you honestly expect everyone to watch it and just agree with you?  This is a forum, a place for "open discussion or voicing of ideas".  It isn't the Shawn Lane Appreciation Society.
