Who is the fastest guitar player in the world?

I seem to remember Joe Satriani being fairly fast. Whether it was listenable was another matter.\n\nAl DiMeola and John McLaughlin do some amazing things playing jazz on acoustic guitar. Pick up a copy of "Friday Night In San Francisco". Just amazing.

Jimi Hendrix. You must be one of his top ten fans.

Hakan Sukur, 11 seconds. By fastest, I think you mean least amount of time from the start whistle to score. The answer is Turkey forward Hakan Sukur in 2002 WC 3rd place game against South Korea. Sukur scored after a mere 11 seconds. i dont know if this feat speaks of hakan sukur's ability or the complete lack thereof of the South Koerean defense, but that is beyond this question.

Based on video evidence, one of the fastest ever scored was in 2.8 seconds by Ricardo Olivera (Uruguay) in December 1998\nSource-Sam

Fastest Tennis Serve\nThe fastest tennis service by a man (measured with modern equipment) is 246.2 km/h (153 mph) by Andy Roddick (USA) during a Stella Artois Championship match against Paradorn Srichaphan (Thailand) at the Queen's Club, London, UK, on June 11, 2004.

Andy Roddick has claimed the record for the world's fastest serve. \nThe American was playing in the Davis Cup clash with Austria when he hit a serve timed at 150.241.4mph. \n\nIt came on the fourth point of the eighth game in his match against Stefan Koubek. Roddick won 6-4 6-4 6-2 in only 90 minutes to help the USA on its way to victory. \n\nRoddick was the joint holder of the previous record - 149.239.7mph - with Britain's Greg Rusedski. \n\nThird behind the British number two is America's Taylor Dent, who served up a 144.2mph delivery at Wimbledon in 2001. \n\nAustralia's Mark Philippoussis is fourth on the list with his 142.3mph rocket in 1997 in Dusseldorf.

Icarus Dream Suite by Yngwie Malmsteen is the first thing that comes to mind.It's actually Adagio for Strings re written for guitar.Eric Johsons version of the National Anthem is pretty good too.\nI love Hendrix but he's done so many things better than his version of the National Anthem,like the entire album Axis Bold as Love.\nBut seriously Heart Breaker by Lad Zeppelin probably takes the prize.

Whatever Richard Galliano uses. No one can play any faster. He can be seen on some excellent Bireli Lagrene DVDs. Hope this helps!!!!

There have been a few records from different fighters with different styles but fastest "ever" doesn't exist only because all of the greatest fighters of all time were not all recorded but anyway.........Fastest kick ever recorded was by Frank Dux (the man Jean Claude Van Damme portrayed in the Bloodsport movie) at 72 miles per hour with a knockout and then there was this one http://www.metacafe.com/watch/121618/2_sec_ko/ which was 2 seconds for a flying knee knockout!!\nFastest knockout by punch ever recorded (less than 3 seconds) but the "winner" was disqualified and you can see why after you watch it!!! http://video.fosfor.se/fastest-knockout-ever/. Also Frank Shamrock - the undefeated middleweight UFC Champion held a couple of records for the fastest wins by sumission which were less than 20 seconds. Certainly Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris were incredibly fast; also Benny "The Jet" Urquidez and Jim "Superfoot" Wallace also had world records at some point for their incredible kicking speed.

Here are my answers, GENTLEMEN first:\n\nFASTEST:     ANDY RODDICK by far. He holds the official record for fastest tennis serve at 155 mph (250 kph, 09/27/04, Davis Cup tie with Belarus, vs. Vladimir Voltchkov). However, some records show that "Big Bill" Tilden blasted a 163 mph (263 kph) serve in 1931. But due to the difference in clocking techniques that time, this record is often not recognized.\n\nMOST CONSISTENT:     IVAN LJUBICIC. He always leads ATP in total number of aces in a year, and highest average per game.\n\nSPECIAL AWARD for serving goes to ROGER FEDERER. He has the most stylish serve, which is too difficult to read. His serves do not need to be fastest to deceive the eyes of his opponent.\n\nOTHER NOTABLE SERVERS: Pete Sampras, Joachim Johansson, Mario Ancic, Ivo Karlovic. (I don't know what's with the Croatians that they serve too hard! Maybe it's the height, or just a product of rigorous training.)\n\nLADIES:\n\nFASTEST:      Brenda Schultz-McCarthy (130 mph). This is a new record, only set last July 2006 in the Western & Southern Financial Group Women's Open in Ohio. She reclaimed her record from Venus Williams (127 mph) served at the tournament in Zurich at the 90's.\n\nMOST CONSISTENT:     WILLIAMS Sisters. Do you notice how their opponents react each time they are on service? Such strong serves for ladies, at times faster than their male counterpart. \n\nSPECIAL CITATION goes to MARIA SHARAPOVA. She has a punishing serve coupled with a very loud grunting. The problem is whether the serve or the shriek troubles the receiver (laughs....)\n\n:  )

Preston Reed.\n\nHe's an awesome fingerstyle guitar player.  I recently saw him in concert and was blown away by his technique and style.  I bought two of his cd's on the spot and will absolutely see him in concert again the next time he's touring the States.\n\nhttp://www.prestonreed.com\n\nHere's some sample videos that you have to watch:\n(You may need to right-click and 'save target as', download it, then play it)\nhttp://homespun.powerusermedia.com/Homespun_Tapes/VD-PRE-PF01_Concert2.wmv\nhttp://homespun.powerusermedia.com/Homespun_Tapes/VD-PRE-GT01_Guitar2.wmv\n\nOther stuff:\nhttp://www.homespunvideo.com/prodpg/prodpg.asp?prodID=191&prodType=\nhttp://www.homespunvideo.com/prodpg/prodpg.asp?prodID=531&prodType=\n\nPart of some reviews:\n"Within 10 seconds of listening to him, you'll realize just how little innovation is on display by the McBands receiving heavy rotation on MTV or Your Local Alternative Radio Station. ... Reed is a treasure, an absolute must-listen for those even tangentially interested in acoustic guitar music, and a one-of-a-kind innovator who will change the way you approach the guitar in both your listening and your performing.
