Almost looks and sounds like the tape is sped up? Even the pitch sounds altered? But what do I know. crazy

I kind of thought that too Dan, but if you look at his body movements, including the movement of his head and hair, they all appear to be fairly natural. I doubt it's sped up, but if it is, some one has done a remarkable job...

Mmmmmmmmmm.....

I don't know. Something ain't right with those hand movements.

I am a guitarist and I know I'm not as fast as him but I have hit sixteenth notes at 260 BPM on occasion, albeit rare.

This would be like 740 BPM. smile This does not look natural. I have never seen it.

I could be wrong, but this seems like video tricks.

Maybe we should ask Steve Vai.

But his hands and fingers are in sync with what's going on and videoed.

That does not seem to be the case in the other one.

Something just doesn't look right.

Until I can find out more the negates the validity of his delivery, I am erring on the side that another sensational talent might be out there.

The likes of Peter Nero, Oscar Peterson and Michel LeGrand could deliver that same level of competence on a grand piano. Why couldn't a guitarist do similar?

Audio,

I am not trying to negate the talent or his sensational gift man.

I have seen many other videos of him and agree that he is indeed gifted. I may have seen more of his videos that many. I know who he is.

And, I am not saying he can't be as gifted as a piano player, or whatever.

I am simply saying that I play guitar and when my eyes see some of the hand movements in the video, something seems off and out of sync. It does not seem natural in SOME places. It looks like something is off. I may be WRONG. But something seems off to ME.

As a human being with eyeballs, I assume that on a forum post I can say what I am thinking, right? It does not mean I am criticizing anyone.

But yes, he is very talented, no doubt.

Thanks David for your comments. I apologize if any of my comments were unintentionally interpreted as a criticism. That was certainly never intended.

I only mentioned that I was erring on the side that perhaps another sensational talent might be out there.

I never intended that anyone else should share that view, nor to criticize any other persons views.

Free speech is a good thing.

Peace smile

I watched the video on YouTube and set the speed to 0.75. It seemed a lot more natural.....

don't know if its doctored or not.

I know I can listen to stuff like that for about 3 minutes.
Then I must move on.
Not knocking it, just don't care for the sound.

What I love about Deep Purple songs is how melodic they were. Great craftsmanship.
