"How many notes a second"........if that is how anyone is judgeing a guitar players talent they might want to find another interest! I will take one long and properly bent SRV or Clapton note infused with emotion, feeling and commitment than 1 million of any "speed metal pretenders" notes any day of the week!
Listen to Iron Maiden BF.Not speed metal by any means but Dave Murray,Adrian Smith and Janick Gers make most of the "Greats" look not so great.
