And in Paradise city for about 15 seconds slash picks it up too 1/82 time. But fast is not all that matters, so we cant say someone is best just because they can play 14 notes a second.
ps. The cleanness of the sound depends on the settings of the distortion knobs on the guitar, amp settings and if they are useing a effects peddle or not. All "Good" guitars play clean, i dont even bust frets at 1/64 time. |
Slash never hits the speed Rusty does on some of his arpeggios in Paradise City.
DIstortion does distort accuracy, but when you're accurate to begin with it doesn't matter.
Good guitar players play only clean? Clean does nothing but reduces the high-end output and cuts back on feedback. With a good overdrive pedal, say the SD-3 or Tube Screamer.. on clean settings to begin with, that overdrive makes your chops even more obvious.
For some reason I think you're blowing smoke, but that's just me talking. Check out "Colma" by Buckethead and you'll understand his thinking in saying that sometimes it takes a million notes to say one thing, but sometimes it only takes one.
peace.
