Worlds Fastest Guitar Player – A Fake?

We have been shown this amazing video of guitarist Vahid Iran Shahi. Ay 350BPM its not the fastest out there but its on an acoustic Spanish guitar and most of the time he is pulling funny faces at the camera whilst playing. But is it real? Well some say you can see the second hand on the clock change at the wrong time, but the My Guitar Lessons office staff have all checked out the vieo and can not see anything untoward about the film so declare it real.

He appears to be using a technique we learned about from our good friend and guiatr teacher Andy James who will feature in a teaching video for us about ‘snap picking’ soon, so keep an eye ut for that one coming soon.

Anyway – do you think its real? Take a look and comment below:
