Functional Limit of Electric Guitar Speed

Short note. Amid all the hoopla about the new British band 'Arctic Monkeys', one thing I have to argue, despite its bright texture, Arctic Monkey is nowhere near the limit of virtuosity. Established player like Nels Cline, Henry Threadgill, or Steve Albini from Shellac are still producing more complex sound by several order of magnitudes.

The Nels Cline Singers - Cause For Concern

Henry Threadgill and Make a Move - Don't Turn Around

Arctic Monkeys - I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor

Shellac - Watch Song
