Searcher notice now I said sextuplets which means 6 notes per click, so this equals 14 notes a second which is pretty bloody fast, not many players can do that accurately. This is the speed which Jason Becker Sweeps Serrana at just for reference.

Cheers!

There's nothing more inherently musical in playing slow than playing fast. It's the context that's important. Altering your speed to play different phrases is just one way of adding dynamics to your playing. If you play constantly at a certain speed then your playing is lacking an important dynamic--probably the most straight-forward one to attain, since it only takes practice rather than any great creativity. </stating the obvious>

Yeah, that's what I meant...The statement was talking about people that only play fast, as we've seen so many times on youtube :drink:

if you cant play 16th triplets at 180 you should ask your grandma to teach you how to play guitar!

I disagree - I could probably play 16th triplets at 180 if i practised it and trained to play fast, but I wouldn't want to...

There's nothing musical about playing fast, it's just annoying to listen to. I'd much rather play something (relatively) slow and bluesy or rocky or something.

Any fool can teach himself a scale and practise it religiously until he can play it at a million miles a second, but not everyone has the creativity to pick out the notes from that scale and use them in a context where people can actually hear the notes you're playing

you fail to see the humour in my post, therefore YOU fail.

please dont take me seriously all the time :D

I did see the humour in it, but assumed it was serious - for some reason :lol:

Ah, right. Yeah, I didn't catch that when I read it last time. Oops! Guess I need more sleep.

I play classical guitar and I love that piece, I don't suppose anyone knows if there is a tab or sheet music of this?

Not sure, but if your looking for mega hard peices of music, try this one on for size :-P

^^ I'd love to hear that one!

I like the bit where it says "breath now"...Is that in case you're playing it so fast that you've forgotten that crucial part of life?

Muso · « **Reply #41 on:** August 01, 2006, 10:37:11 PM »

haha priceless!

deg0ey · « **Reply #42 on:** August 01, 2006, 10:41:14 PM »

I've also noticed "add bicycle" and "remove cattle from stage" in the notes as well...Who would play with cattle on stage?

EDIT: Just before the cattle are removed from stage, the penguins are released - looks like it was written to be played in a zoo...

It's soo funny, the closer you look the more you find.

Got it on a classical forum, when they were discussing the most difficult peices to play.

Is it supposed to be a joke, or is it a serious piece?
