Try listening to some early John McLaughlin. His live album with the Mahavishnu Orchestra, "Between Nothingness and Eternity" has some unbelievably intricate guitar playing, as does "The Inner Mounting Flame," and his work with Al DiMeola and Paco DeLucia on "Live in San Francisco." Also, listen to "Johnny McLaughlin Electric Guitarist." One of my favorite pieces on this album is "New York On My Mind."

all great guitarists

One name. Buddy Guy.

Dirty Linen
Since the 60s, Buddy Guy has been justifiably regarded as one of the Chicago blues scene’s most dynamic performers, as well as one of its hottest blues guitarists. The Real Deal, his first live recording since his resurgence of popularity of the last few years, showcases both of these strengths to good effect. Recorded at Guy’s own South Loop nightclub, Legends, last year, he is backed by guitarist par excellence G.E. Smith and the big, horn-laden band Smith led for years on Saturday Night Live. This seemingly incongruous pairing works surprisingly well; Smith works the same magic he did during his stint with Bob Dylan’s road band, centering Guy’s performances and providing a discipline and focus that his shows sometimes lack. Guy gets right into it with a flurry of distorted notes on the opening rocker "I’ve Got My Eye on You." He shows his softer, more soulful side on the slow blues, "Sweet Black Angel." "My Time After Awhile" goes from a slow simmer to a full boil, with Guy testifying with both voice and guitar. The musicians stretch way out on the thirteen minute "I’ve Got My Eye On You," which also prominently features Leon Pendarvis’ jazzy B-3 organ. The disc closes with a distinctive arrangement of "Ain’t That Lovin’ You," starting out with a swinging jazz band arrangement led by the band’s superb horn section that leads right into a down and dirty reprise on which Guy lets loose with all his six string ammunition. This fine live album should convince even the most skeptical critics that, on a good night, Buddy Guy is one of the most exciting live performers around.
============

"I’ve Got News for You," a 13-minute song with band solos all around, Guy’s fast plucking sounds like a sonic machine gun.

On "Damn Right I’ve Got the Blues," Guy sounds hungry and impatient, like he can’t wait to flex his fingers above Paul Ossola’s wickedly funky bass line. This version outruns the original because the focus is on the instruments instead of the lyrics

Every discussion of modern-day blues guitarists finds its way to Buddy Guy,
because the electricity and passion in his music are boundless. He is today’s link between the electric-guitar explorations of Elmore James and the ferocious rock guitarists who stand in line to be The Next Big Thing.
This hourlong live recording shows why Guy has been an inspiration to Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughan and others who have vied to identify themselves as blues masters. Guy’s guitar and vocals pierce and scintillate, and no one better understands the tension between supercharged guitar runs and a primal blues beat.
He seems to almost effortlessly extend a spiritual bridge from the flowing, Junior Parker-style "First Time I Got The Blues" to Elmore James’ raw "Talk To Me Baby" to the sophistication of B.B. King’s "Sweet Black Angel."
Backed by the dutiful but uninspiring G.E. Smith & the Saturday Night Live Band, Guy also blazes through his own "Damn Right I’ve Got The Blues," a shimmering version of Willie Dixon’s "Let Me Love You Baby," and "My Time After Awhile," the dazzling emotional workout he has been playing for three decades.
==================

STONE CRAZY! is one of the real landmark blues guitar recordings. The powerful, (seemingly) out-of-control blues leads of Buddy Guy, scream and roar and rumble all up and down the groove. Influential guitarists like Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton … Full Descriptionand Stevie Ray Vaughan all point to Guy as a major mover in terms of their own stylistic breakthroughs.

STONE CRAZY! is a benchmark by which to judge Buddy Guy’s contributions to the blues. On performances like "I Smell A Rat" and "Outskirts of Town" the listener is propelled along a roller coaster ride of emotions, as Guy’s fierce attack and screaming tone mark him as one of the great electric blues virtuosos in the Chicago style. And on song after song, his fervent vocals match the epic, manic intensity of his guitar playing, making STONE CRAZY! one of the definitive desert island discs in the blues idiom.

Dragonforce songs are wickedly fast..

Beat It by Michael Jackson. (I know you wouldn’t think of a Michael Jackson having anything to do with rock but the guitar riff in that song by Eddie Van Halen is insanly fast.)
Enter Sandman by Metallica.

Have a look at the theme song from Pulp Fiction (the movie). That really fast buzzing you hear is actually tremolo picking but done really, really fast.

through the fire and flames by Dragonforce

Zholla… I love you, Man. And I love Buddy. But kids dont wanna play that. You have to give them contemporary stuff and let them appreciate the Greats when they get older and they can play. I wanted to give him a lecture too
