24nps (My Fastest Single String Picking Speed) Cameron Barton

[nabudis123]

GOTTA GO FAST

[TheGrifter29]

nice dude, you beat yngwie by 3nps

[vibonacci]

btw what pick thickness, pick material and what strings do you use?

[MrCameronBarton]

@vibonacci I use Jazz III Ultex picks and GHS 9-58 Boomers.

[vibonacci]

when you've tryed yourself to become fast at picking you'll understand that this is something to have respect for. Go away haters.

[gerrraw]

that makes no sense, whats the point?

[saqib09]

How can I improve my picking? Your arm barely moved; how do you do this? 

[rpocc]

so wut?

[suffocation03]

sick dude

[myg0tBUTTPLUG]

that is a fast hand... Only an Electric Drill with a three sided pick can play faster....lol

[tweekin001]

How the fuck is speed not an emotion? It's intense, raw energy.

[tweekin001]

@tweekin001 *feeling. Misnomer.

[MrCameronBarton]

@tweekin001 I like how you put that.

[gshredder5150]

@tweekin001 i agree

[jw2113]

@tweekin001 if speed is an emotion then so is length

[tweekin001]

@jw2113 Everything you hear is. 

[tweekin001]

@jw2113 Never said it wasn't.

[chadwr85]

@tweekin001 I mean it technically is a emotion but it don't have the same soul and doesn't touch you or move you.

[tweekin001]

@chadwr85 You are not me. I don't vouch for you, do I?

[chadwr85]

@tweekin001 that is about the stupidest thing I have heard. I said it has emotion, all music does. But it is not nearly on the level of something like blues.

[RxExLxIxSxH]

@chadwr85 it is blues, everything is blues.

[sanjinator17]

you guys are all stupid

he made this video to show off how fast he can strum on one string

not the show you an overture he made

dont say "where's the music"

we all think you are a fucktard

[MrCameronBarton]

@sanjinator17 Exactly. The funny thing is, I have a video that shows both this technique, and it's an actual song. People just seem to be too retarded to go to my channel and watch the video that automatically plays..

[PrankZabba]

fast picking is like a really fast car

it still goes from A to B to C and back to A

this sounded like it went from A to B7 to Dmin to F# back to a Adimmin

i think

the point is that as long as it goes from point a to b

then all the power to you

but it's still just a car

[scazxr]

How about if people who like fast guitar picking thumb up MCB and those who don't keep it to yourself. I personally don't really care for shredding unless it is situated inside of a really good tune as well but I totally respect the ability he has. For those that say 'its only the right hand', pick up a guitar and try it. If his left hand was not hitting the string at the right time you would hear dead string or harmonics, even with the sweetest well tuned guitar. Rock on MCB \m/

[Testaneticaband]

If you think he sucks, GO TO HIS ACCOUNT!!! and try to play something he made with a guitar ;) you rock

[MikeMikeNana]

Its funny how some people are comparing this guy to famous musicians and saying hes nothing. Why are they even comparing him to famous guitarists then?! Jealous fools

[shdowsfll]

its his gear. He can do whatever THE FUCK he wants to do with it.

[shdowsfll]

yeah what part of SPEED demonstration dont these dumbfucks understand?

[DrMarkSuarezPhD]

RUSTY CULO WENT POOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPY !

[DrMarkSuarezPhD]

You have no idea what makes a great guitarist. People who have played since 1987 could teach you A LOT.

SLASH IS AN AMAZING GUITARIST , WRITTEN SOME OF THE GREATEST AND SOULFUL SONGS IN ROCK HISTORY WHO HAS AN ALBUM THAT WENT PLATINUM 18 X OVER

DUANE ALLMAN KICKS YOUR ASS ALL DAY.

[idkfa94]

@DrMarkSuarezPhD You talk about guitar playing like it's a goddamn competition. It's not. Now you can start to be civil, or you can make yourself look stupider, and keep on having diarrhea of the mouth on here, and annoy the living fuck out of everyone. Your choice.

[GeoffWilde]

@idkfa94 Shut the fuck up, your the fucking annoying one, leave him alone, he can do what the hell he wants with a guitar. Who the fuck are you to judge him?

[DrMarkSuarezPhD]

You suck badly. Slash has amazing solos and riffs. He plays with soul also. You cannot write for shit, have no soul. Various genres, creativity, soul ALL make a great guitarist

SLASH

STEVE VAI

ANDY MCKEE

VITO BRATTA

PRESTON REED

ANA VIDOVIC

ALL OWN YOU .

Rusty Culo gets buttock fucked all day in the butthole by those guitar players which would explain why he has a rusty culo........

[tweekin001]

@DrMarkSuarezPhD Granted it's shred, Rusty Cooley has his own style. Whenever you hear Chris Storey play you can tell that he's taken lessons from Rusty, not MAB, Francesco Fareri, nor Petrucci. You don't even videos up of yourself playing. Go fuck yourself, retard. If you had a Ph.D you wouldn't be repeating the same old "who's a better _____" argument over the internet with your time.

[TuranoisaDOLT]

PRESTON REED IS ALSO A FAR MORE ADVANCED PLAYER.

YOU COULD NOT PLAY VITO BRATTA'S WAIT SOLO

100 DOLLARS

[tweekin001]

@TuranoisaDOLT You're a fucking fail troll. Get off the internet already.

[TuranoisaDOLT]

ANDY MCKEE OWNS YOU

VITO BRATTA OWNS YOU

ANA VIDOVIC OWNS YOU

[TuranoisaDOLT]

ANA VIDOVIC

VITO BRATTA

ANDY MCKEE

ALL MORE ADVANCED THAN YOU AND MORE DIFFICULT SOLOS.

[TuranoisaDOLT]

VITTO BRATTA SHITS ALL OVER RUSTY COOLY

[TuranoisaDOLT]

VITO BRATTA IS ACTUALLY MELODIC AND PLAYS MORE ADVANCED SOLOS THAN YOURSELF AND WITH MUCH MORE SOUL

You need to listen to "Wait" AND THE SOLO

HE KNOWS HOW TO ROCK UNLIKE YOU.

[TuranoisaDOLT]

V I T O B R A T T A RULES

[TuranoisaDOLT]

VITO BRATTA is a more advanced player than yourself.

ANDY MCKEE is also a more advanced player than yourself.

VITO BRATTA does you up the buttocks with a strap on.

ADMIT IT........

[shdowsfll]

@TuranoisaDOLT cool shit bro lets post it 7 or 8 times in a row. 

[SexyJane28]

NO FEELING = NOT A MUSICIAN.

YOU ARE A TECHNICIAN ONLY, AND NOT EVEN AS GOOD AS ANDY MCKEE

[MrCameronBarton]

@SexyJane28 You're also done.

[HeppinnMelrakki]

@SexyJane28

What a cunt.

[Metalflamme]

@SexyJane28 dude. this is a speed video. Try to play faster than him by playing slowly. And even,speed can have emotions. You cant. Youre a retard.

[tweekin001]

@SexyJane28 Who's to draw a line in the sand? Music's music regardless how it's composed and performed. And on top of all: you're still a cunt.

[SexyJane28]

ANDY MCKEE AND ANA VIDOVEK ARE BETTER GUITARISTS - MUCH. MUCH. MUCH BETTER.

RUSTY COOLEY WENT POOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPY

[SexyJane28]

YOU ARE A COMPLETE FRAUD.

ANA VIDEVEK OWNS you on guitar

A GIRL OWNS YOU

LOOK UP ANA VIDEVEK PEOPLE SHE IS FLAWLESS

[SexyJane28]

RUSTY COOLEY GO POOOOOOOPY!

[SexyJane28]

I challenge you to play Ballerina, Tender Surrender, ALL of the Passion and Warfare album

ANA VIDOVEK OWNS this turdy guy

PRESTEN REED OWNS this guy

ANDY MCKEE OWNS this guy

1990 Steve Vai OWNS this guy

Paul 's solo Racer X

bruce's solo racer X

YOU LOSE.

[sevenstring405]

Wow cammy long hair on you is no Bueno. The Castro look is better. And. NOT FAKE AND GAY

[ObesityMyth]

1990 Steve Vai KICKS YOUR ASS on guitar.

[idkfa94]

@ObesityMyth Can you do the planet a favor and go impale yourself on a giant spike? Please and thank you.

[ObesityMyth]

1990 STEVE VAI OWNS you

Ana Vidovec OWNS you

Preston Reed OWNS you

Andy McKee REALLY owns you

[MrCameronBarton]

@ObesityMyth It's time for you to get the fuck off my videos.

[ObesityMyth]

If you think you are as good as a 1990 Passion And Warfare Steve Vai you are delusional.

[ObesityMyth]

You have no feeling at all in your playing.

[ObesityMyth]

And SLASH is FAST too when he WANTS to be. Slash and Vito Bratta OWN you in every way as a player.

They write better, rock better and are more creative. Bratta REALLY owns you. The Wait solo. I know many classical players who own you too.

Your claims are unverified

[ObesityMyth]

I have seen your NEWER videos. You are still not faster than Yngwie Malmsteen. His LEFT hand flies all round the fretboard precisely, accurately, and VERY agile.

Only your RIGHT hand is as fast.

[MrCameronBarton]

@ObesityMyth You must be deaf. The fact that you constantly argue that other players are better than me is asinine. I DO have feeling in my playing. It may not be the kind that you're accustomed to, but I know I have it, and so do many of the people that follow my work. I don't need to explain myself to you, so all I have left to say to you is good day, sir.

[Seandude223]

@ObesityMyth Yngwie might be kinda good, but he's an asshole. On top of that, he's not a musician, even less so in my opinion than this guy. I actually LIKE some of the stuff Cameron does. I can't stand Yngwie.

[TheOhini]

@ObesityMyth You jelly

[karmaavalanche]

its good & fast ,, but left hand is not that fast

[MrCameronBarton]

@karmaavalanche I'll say this again.. because people don't read. Watch my newer videos.

[ObesityMyth]

Your right hand is fast, but your left hand is nowhere near as fast or agile as a guy like Yngwie Malmsteen's. He's been playing a lot longer than you.

The guitar is SO much more than speed. Try composing like Slash. Try having the soul Slash had in the Tokyo Use Your Illusion Tour.

Do a search of Sungha Jung. He is better.

[MrCameronBarton]

@ObesityMyth Slash is a drunken idiot. Also try watching my NEWER videos. Not ones from a year or more ago.

[MrCameronBarton]

@MrXAVIERDB :)

[MrCameronBarton]

@MrXAVIERDB Go to sleep ho.

[RossWildish]

You look so much better without hair bro.

[MrCameronBarton]

@RossWildish Lol that's why I got rid of it. Plus.. I can't stand when I have hair in my face and it's super hot out.

[RossWildish]

@MrCameronBarton Yeah man same. I feel like a new man haha!

[pirateboy12]

lol its called tremolo picking sir

[MrCameronBarton]

@pirateboy12 What's your point?

[EddySanchez101]

And it's not that great

[Sythofin]

this isn't music, this is a sport

[MrCameronBarton]

@Sythofin I never said this was music. I said it was a speed demonstration.

[MrCameronBarton]

@dbabbjr Check my "String Insanity" video. I use the technique in it.

[aronfelkins]

Do you play music or do you just practice speed picking?

[MrCameronBarton]

@aronfelkins Dude, you can answer your own page by looking at my channel..

[MrCameronBarton]

@MrCameronBarton Sorry I meant question.. not page. Waking up at 5am is not a good thing.

[aronfelkins]

@MrCameronBarton Yeah saw your newer vids. Pretty legit :D

[cromaticas]

i dont know whats the point of picking that fast,but youre fast indeed

[TheSynisterGates]

When I first saw this I practiced for hours a day trying to make my picking speed as fast as this and I ended up developing tendinitis. True story. You should really have a "kids don't try this at home" thing at the beginning haha.

[Ramennoodles626]

@TheSynisterGates That sucks. Should've played some Pink Floyd instead.

[Ramennoodles626]

While it's pretty fast, your pinky should be on the guitar to anchor your hand. I couldn't see if your pick was sideways or not but it sounded so.

[MrCameronBarton]

@Ramennoodles626 That isn't needed. I have my own picking style.

[kakashi1810]

You're really awesome! Fuck the ones that say that speed is worst than seeing Slash doing slow pentatonics. I really apreciate your style

[Stavronen]

awesome its nice that here you can play rly fast and in the other vid fast just in slow motion

[teamFBR367]

my mom used to feed me crack for breakfast too

[MrCameronBarton]

@teamFBR367 I'm sorry to hear that. I regularly practice guitar to build speed. It's a shame people force feed their kids crack to make them faster on guitar.

[badlama123]

this is obviously not the same guy as in the other video though, so this whole thing is retarded

[MrCameronBarton]

@badlama123 Hey dummy. Same guy. New channel. Get it through your head. Different webcam and mic, plus long hair can make someone look different. People can change quite a bit in 2 years.

[MutilatedMetalMatt]

Ok, this is better than the other video by a lot. You're not cocky in it and you stick mostly to right-hand speed demonstrations. Your right hand is insanely fast.

[MrCameronBarton]

@MutilatedMetalMatt Thanks for being one of the VERY few people to actually read the description and actually see the link to this video. Yeah man, with this technique it's pretty hard to keep up with the left hand, but I'm working on it. There's a video of mine called Random Shred on this channel and the last lick of the video is single string 5s using this technique where I hit every note all the way down. Check it out!

[MutilatedMetalMatt]

@MrCameronBarton No problem dude... I guess I was too harsh on my post on the other video. Sorry about that. Keep up the good work.

[Zdunky]

how do you reach this tempo?? I know - practice, but could you tell me any "instructions" what have you done to be so fast??

[MrCameronBarton]

@Zdunky Well dude, my picking is that fast because I tense up my right arm and causes a twitch. Really unhealthy so I do not advise doing it lol. I'd suggest naturally building speed the old fashion way.

[hreasons]

@Zdunky 20 hours a day, 10 years straight, constant masturbation. I seriously recommend you don't touch the guitar during this period as it can hinder your progress. Once you've completed this training, pick up your guitar and you too will be able to play this fast, if not faster. Good luck.

[erics270]

How many of you actually checked his channel? He actually shreds like a beast not just tremolo picking really fast. It be more impressive if he burned down scales and arpeggios like that but I don't see any of you shredding like him OR picking like him so... SUCK IT

[CRaul87]

Hey m8, I'm actualy working atm on my single string picking speed but I am trying to get it all or at least most of it out of my wrist not my elbow... I see you just lock your hand up from the elbow and just go at it... is this the only way to get speeds like that or is the wrist an option as well?

[77Hking]

god stop insultin him, i play guitar and would like to play that fast, even if its not music, he can probably play music its just a speed demonstration... to be honest u should all put a video up here of it... cos i dont see one to be honest.. :/

[amoebaarmageddon]

"It's not sped up, and it's not fake" >:[

[flipedup]

i am jealous!!.. .you are one fast mofo!!!

[vivasoberania]

I can go that fast. It's really not hard to play really fast. You kind of just have to through your right arm muscles into twitch/tourettes mode.

[bungholio80]

It's too bad your left hand can't keep up with your right hand still. Definitely fastest right hand I've seen.

[SethsRandomness]

@bungholio80 that's what she said.

[stdnt4eva]

did u set the speed record for jerkin off too you clown

[texasvsfear1]

@stdnt4eva nah i did. I came as soon as i looked at my dick.

[Guitareben]

Very impressive! Very fast! But i am not sure if it is the fastest, i think dela vega is faster. Awesome anyhow :D

[scootyman10]

Hey Cameron, just curious, how many nps can you get doing chromatics where you fret every note? Rock on man!

[Lap0573]

You must have insane fap power.

[TheMaveric94]

yeah it is really cool playing so fast but in my opinion the thing that really matters is the technic and the melody...

[f14birdy]

lol did you have a surgeon implant a vibrator into your hand

[SubliminalGlue]

How do u play like that? Are u making a circular motion? Its insane...

[adamresyk2112]

That's a shame. All that time perfecting a skill that is virtually useless!

[lazim1]

though i don't like really fast solos, except for some of iron maidens, there's no denying... you got awesome speed there. kudos.

[mingewat]

trollololololololololololololo­lolol

[Hellfire3120]

10 years of guitar playing and I'm not even close to picking this fast.

[m3tallih0lic]

lmfao listen to all these whiney ass hater babies... the dude is merely demonstrating his speed, it's not ment to have feeling you slow minded fuckin morons.. and i like the people that throw out random insults (obviously jealous) don't you thirteen year old talentless, wannabe pimp haters have some fat, greasy n easy, inbred, trailer park bitches to reproduce your retard genes with??

[MetalCverZ]

@m3tallih0lic why is there question marks at the end of you sentence, i dont see it being a question

[m3tallih0lic]

@MetalCverZ perhaps that's because by the time you finished the sentence you forgot that it began with "don't you" lmfao... but don't beat yourself up, in your defence i didn't put a period after the (obviously jealous) part and it was a long and hard one to follow lol

[haz127]

@MetalCverZ haha. i never argue on youtube...but i'd like to point out that when asking someone a rhetorical question about a superfluous question mark, you yourself forgot to use one! how ironic.

[MetalCverZ]

@haz127 haha nice

[comet752]

dude that guitar is in pretty low tuning considering i can hear the string flopping with the amp on

[MrCameronBarton]

@comet752 It's tuned flat. The mic on my webcam is really sensitive so it picks up lots of string noise.

[comet752]

@MrCameronBarton ya do what tuneing do you use?

[technoman43]

Most of the comment's are from jeolous douchbag's that cant play shit. for their amusement they go and bash on others who they know are more successful than them... Also to the fag's who comment non stop about masturbaiting is that really what you think of when a guy can speedpick fast? great video dont let up on theis loser's post some more video's!!!!

[andru75k4]

You're d**ck would come off if you jerk off at such speed!

[Dearteardrop667]

also..... lol i do that shit do does it after a while cramp ur arms hardcore lol shit starts to hurt >.<

[Dearteardrop667]

fuck everyone else dude aslong as uk u can do it have the self pride knowing u can do what others think is impossible and uk ill admit thats pretty sick dude nice work

[onfaceatays]

Your sad.

[kl1172]

Impressive!!!

[TeaTime161]

That's pretty impressive dude, how long have you been playing for?

[Fezetone]

Hey dude, Any tips on how to play that fucking fast? haha

[steelyglenn]

Dude, I bet you could pick your nose so quickly that nobody would notice it!

LOL (I'm just kidding) But seriously, whats with all the haters, man? You're

just demonstrating a technique that could be useful in creating a guitar

solo if taken to the next level! I think it's pretty cool as a guitarist myself.

Well, you know what they say: "opinions are like assholes... everybody's

got one!..." The only problem is that even the assholes have opinions! ...

[zomibekillla]

ur strings r lloose

[eltuciu]

lol I really want to see u trolls play with feeling at 19nps :)))

[00000guitar00000]

wow just give him a break...

if it want obvious to you this video was all about his FASTEST picking speed...not his most heartfelt or whatever...maybe thats why the video is called "19nps (My Fastest Single String Picking Speed) Cameron Barton"...just read what it says.

hes not trolling like the other "world record" guys, hes just settin a personal best which is gr8.

btw nice work man, keep it up

[calypso694]

play song or make one and have be fast and accurate, in the other vid u had ur sweeps werent accurate or at least they sounded horrible, sure you can pick fast but big deal thats not important. not an insult just an opinion

[verdugo98]

this people probably dont like malmsteen, or dont reconginze him as a musucian, same with steve vai, michael angelo, randy rhoads, etc.

this probably cant even play the guitar, MrCameronBarton, i think you have an impressive hability and your very VERY good

[TheGilmer]

@Ratm78213 I don't believe he's trying to play a beautiful song in this video, unless Cameron Barton wrote a song named "19nps (My Fastest Single String Picking Speed)," but maybe I'm wrong and he did.

[ThyReaperGrim]

Pf, yeah this one is not fake, but not something special either. When you're picking those notes you seems like you cannot hold a tempo for more than 1 second, seems like you have never studied with a metronome and even if you did, you did it wrong. Sorry, speed test failed, try playing music and not nerdish things. Have a nice day.

[wetwithlife]

OK forget the analog clock thing "you talked". good to see you lost the sunglasses and a litttle of the tude, looks like your on some drugs... good, good, and letting yourself go I like it. check out BUCKETHEAD he melted my grannies panties off a while back.

[Clike666ness]

@Ratm78213

It is a speed test......

[theoriginalbensteele]

Guys this is just supposed to be 'look how fecking fast i can play', that's all, chill

[NSFVV]

Your masturbation time must be insane.

[steelyglenn]

@NSFVV Yeah it's at "19yps" (19 yanks per second) LOL!

[liranxs]

i hope they wont put this in the next guitar hero lol... (i got the pc version and im strumming with a mouse.......... try for youself)

[ZeppelinFloydRoses]

Hey Cameron! This is Jack, from Australia. Fuckin amazing video dude! You've gotta post a video when you get your new guitar and amp. Peace bro

[MalumSin]

Look you fucking retards, it's a speed test, not a song, so quit being dumb. And my friend, very impressive.

[jensinx]

another stupid-idiot-nerd-shithead

[MrCameronBarton]

@jensinx Be more creative with your insults.

[figaz555]

@MrCameronBarton

If I were your parents I certainly would have sued the condom factory for all they had.

[mathal13]

@MrCameronBarton idunno that was a prettty creatively stupid insult

[brucejuice98]

@jensinx Really... that was a horrible insult...

[MrCameronBarton]

@Ratm78213 What I do appeals to the people that like what I do. Like it's supposed to. If you don't like it.. then don't watch my videos.

[figaz555]

@MrCameronBarton

The people who enjoy your videos must suffer from even worse brain damage that you seem to suffer from.

[MrCameronBarton]

@Ratm78213 Why don't you try and be different from the rest of the trolls and quit talking about feeling. It's all subjective. I can come up with a melody that would make your mommas panties melt off. I just like to shred. It's good enough for me. Doesn't mean I CAN'T play with feeling.

[Stratorancios]

@MrCameronBarton Well y belive that you can play with feeling, why don`t you record and upload it? =)?

[SpoonOfOdium]

@Stratorancios Yes please! I was impressed for about 10 minutes of watching your videos and then I got bored. I know I've posted criticism in most of your videos, but if you could please upload something melodic. It can have some shredding in it, because I know melodic solos can have shredding. Just look at John Petrucci in Hollow Years Live at Budokan. It's so soulful yet he shreds so beautifully. Do something like that and that would make me so happy!

[shreddalizer]

@MrCameronBarton

Melting Mothers' Panties

write a song about that

[alfrebame]

this video,like the other...still without technique...still hear the string noise (tic tac)...do it in clean channel,and like i said,you will sound crappy in clean...

[MrCameronBarton]

@alfrebame So what if you hear the strings? It would be even more so on the clean channel. The reason you hear the strings is because the mic picks up most of the sound in the room. The string noise came through because the speakers weren't all that loud.

[alfrebame]

@MrCameronBarton

don't get me wrong...i mean,you can do this in clean channel with the same volume all the notes?...No...the technique,is about playing fast and checking it in clean channel,must sound the same,that STRINGS NOISES would sound extremely loud in clean...ain't got yet?

[HjalmarGuitarMaster]

damn!

[Moshikashitenai]

Do you or can you do that without tensing your hand or arm up?
