Rana Hasan Claims to be the World’s Fastest Guitarist
April 29th, 2008 | by admin |
Rana Hasan is a totally self taught young guitarist from Lahore City, Pakistan, started playing guitar at 18, influenced by the great rock/bluesmen Jimi Hendrix and Carlos Santana. By the turn of the century he had new influences Yngwie Malmsteen, Todd “T.J.” Helmerich, Rusty Cooley, Greg Howe and he went heavily into learning the shred techneques. In 2005, Rana won Best Talent Award Scholarship from Berklee College of Music, Boston, but could not take up the offer. Rana has gone on to work as a freelance session guitarist, music producer by artists of many different genre and teaches guitar at his home studio. Rana is now also known as “The Fastest Guitarist in Pakistan”, and he has applied for the Guinness world record.. hoping to become the official fastest guitarist! Certainly a shred guitarist to watch out for. Check out the video and lets see what you think of it

Fast and unbearable to listen to.
He must be quite a hit with the ladies.

ITT: ****ty guitarists that put down someone else for going for the record.
He can play a million times better than you guys, and I don’t mean just shred. I’m sure if he wanted to whip out a bluesy solo you’d be standing there with your **** in your hands.

At times reminds me of my alarm clock.
I think he must know how to play non-shred stuff too.
I say he’s grand

Meh.. I don’t like his tone, and it seems he is putting random sweeps together, still better than me though

You guys are all asshats. He was showing off hsi speed, not his musical ability, learn to read. I’m sure he can play blues or whatever just as well as the next guy, but the video wasn’t called ‘World’s most awesome blues solo’ now, was it?

Sure, he is an advanced player, but if he wants to impress me he has to play the same shred on acoustic guitar - a little bit deeper - or on electric guitar without fuzz or distortion !
