The current Official Guinness World Record holder for fastest guitarist is Tiago Della Vega from Brazil who played Flight of the Bumblebee at 320bpm in 2008 for a total of 21.3 notes per second. The piece is comprised of 4 notes per beat for a total of 21.3 notes per second (320bpm x 4 = 1280 / 60secs = 21.3 notes per second).
This Official record has since been broken by a newcomer Randall Padilla from the USA who has played 6 notes per beat at 235bpm (23.5 notes per second) as well as recently May 31st, 2010. In the presence of symphony conductors with a Masters Degree in music and being monitored by computer with on-screen notation and bpm indication, Padilla played an unheard of 26.5 notes per second (265bpm X 6 = 1590 / 60 secs = 26.5 notes per second)
If the Worlds Fastest guitarist ultimately is reduced to how many notes per second has someone played, then that clearly goes to Padilla. Padilla's 26.5 notes per second display may very easily be the fastest recorded speed on any instrument in recorded musical history.
He is not the fastest, but he has had some of the fastest solos with Metallica.
