Playing 30 Notes Per Second 🎸Joey De Maio & Michael Angelo Batio Speed Record In Unison

From the moment I first played with Michael Angelo Batio, the meanest and fastest guitarist on the planet, we instantly hit it off; not only musically but in our shared mindset of always pushing our capabilities. 🏔️🎸 In this video, you see Michael and me playing scales at increasing speed - using a combination of alternate and economy picking - culminating in 30 notes per second, played together in unison. ♬🏎️ As a bassist who has always sought the outer limits of what is possible on my instrument, and Michael, a guitarist with unmatched ambidextrous skills, we wanted to smash through the boundaries of the Shred Zone and launch ourselves into the Ultra Shred Zone. 🚀 Our good friend and audio engineer Dirk Kloiber, breaks down the madness for you: "You can find countless videos on the internet of people claiming to play a certain number of beats per minute (BPM). However, without a musical reference, this number alone doesn’t say much. The musical reference for Joey and Michael Angelo in our session is 4/4 time. A quarter note is divided into 16th notes, so 64 notes per bar. At the record speed of 113 beats per minute, they play 30 notes per single second.” However, this isn't just about setting a speed record; it's a celebration of what is possible when you combine determination, perseverance, and the power of your will to achieve the ultimate. It's the feeling of accomplishment; realizing that you are stronger today than you were yesterday. And knowing in your heart of hearts that this is not the end of the journey. It’s just another milestone. 🔥💪 So, join us as we redefine the speed limits of guitar and bass and tell us in the comments what YOUR next big goal is. And then go out and take the first step towards it! For the only true surrender is not trying. Our hope is that we can inspire you and help you on your journey. Remember to stay true to yourself and live a powerful life! 💪 👉👉👉 Follow me 👈👈👈    / @realjoeydemaio     / realjoeydemaio     / realjoeydemaio     / realjoeydemaio   https://joeydemaio.com
