I think it is sped up looks that way !

You can only play that fast if you take your pants off.

I would say by the timbre and decay of the notes it's sped up.

My wife just came in the room and asked if I was okay..... I was laughing so hard and crying. I told her to check this guy out playing the fire out of this steel with his pants off.... I don't care what speed it is.... this is some fine picking..... what great improvising riffs..... The first tip off for me that it was sped up was the right knee lick raising the string twice in a row like a car piston. My hats off to this guy though...... really great !!!!

This would be a little on the slow side for Wally Murfey[not sure about the spelling]but sure some of you know who I mean.Any way I enjoyed it.

I had to watch and listen twice..it was so fast I missed some of it and it took a second time

This guy is almost as fast as Doug Jernigan

This was covered awhile back after that clip was posted.
He did admit that it was sped up with some kind of
video processing software.

I have had the pleasure of sitting directly in front of this, IMO, incredible musician at a jam, and he did some fantastic speed picking, E9th, that had everyone going. He has, IMO, an incredible "touch", playing at any speed. He and Buddy Charlton were playing side by side; IMO, it just didn't last long enough. I believe he also has quite an impressive practice regimen and it shows!!

Those are some great vids.

Does anyone actually know who this is?

I believe Gary Gimble admitted to being ZUMEMM, he is actually Auntie Ems' ex husband who escaped the great Kansas tornado .

Bo, how’d you find out I was in a tornado? Really, my trousers and skivvies were torn right off as I spun around and landed on my pack-a-seat, just in time to shoot another ditty. NOT! I dawned my jogging shorts to convince wifey I’ve been exercising. Thank goodness her plant mist bottle was handy to simulate sweat.

Gary, your avatar is quite enigmatic. (That's not a phrase you hear every day!) In the words of a Steve Martin SNL sketch from long ago, "WHUT THE HAYULL IS THAT THING?"

Come on Brint, its just a vintage banjo capo resting inside a gold plated shot glass. And BTW, both are in good repair
