That made me a nervous wreck just watching him! That song always got on my nerves. But that dude sure as hell is fast! I'd seriously sprain something if I tried to play like that...

Actually, it looks like he's sliding into most notes, not fretting them. He's uses his 3rd finger on occasion. I'd be more impressed if he was actually doing a lot of fretting. I can't find the Petrucci version, but Petrucci actually frets the notes. But, here's a cover of the Petrucci version. YouTube - Nightwolf - John Petrucci - Flight of the bumblebee (cover) vid is laggy, but it sounds like the version I learned. Even though it's very chromatic, it's a bitch.

I'm with Slim. I seen this a while back on YT and I think its slides and alt picking very fast. Tiago Della Vega is faster at fretting than that. No guitarist in the world holds a candle to this man...Watch FASTEST BANJO PLAYER -TODD TAYLOR Online - VideoSurf Video Search

Della Vega is the dude in the link Jimmy posted. Why the hell would you need an armed guard at a banjo speed test? Someone gonna steal the banjo?

I was unclear. I meant I think he can do better because I heard another one of his songs somewhere else. IMO Batio can fret faster Vega. And I didn't notice that lol. Maybe they're afraid someone will get jelous and shoot him.
