Randall Padilla

     notes by Rick Shubb

Randall has held the Guiness Book of World Records title as the “World’s Fastest Guitar Player,” having been clocked at 26.5 notes per second. He will be the first to tell you, that doesn’t have a lot to do with music. But it certainly doesn’t hurt to be able to move a pick back and forth that quickly, just in case you ever need it.

Randall Padilla himself does have a lot to do with music, and much of what he chooses to play features his more melodic and lyrical side. But fair warning: if you’re a shredder, and you plan on calling him out for a gunfight, you’d better bring a friend and a lunch.
