"I'm like Shawn Lane on speed!"
"I'm playing so fast, the tubes in the amp can't pick up all the notes!"
Sound familiar, shredheads? This was on YouTube in 2012, but all trace of it has since disappeared... until now! For some reason, you will not find this event officially mentioned anywhere except on discussion forums during the early 2000s. Some people should not try so hard to hide their past. ;-)
I will not go into the details of the now-infamous story of Marcus Paus and his 42/44/46nps guitar picking "world record"; you guys can read up on that yourselves: http://www.voy.com/88684/85.html
It is also not my intention to slander this now-established classical musician, but to celebrate a long-forgotten and popular talking point of history in the world of shred guitar.
