    I clocked him doing sustained 16ths at 168bpm. I clocked Rafael Mendez (from a 1961 performance) at about the same tempo, maybe just a hair faster. I think they play notes at the limits of our ability to hear like retina screens surpass the limits of our eyeballs. :-)

    Love that old virtuoso stuff, grew up on it.
    Davey Stuart tenor guitar (based on his 18" mandola design).

    Eastwood 4 string electric mandostang, 2x Airline e-mandola (4-string) one strung as an e-OM.
    DSP's: Helix HX Stomp, various Zooms.
    Amps: THR-10, Sony XB-20.

    That was exquisite!

    That Stiver sounds to my ears like it captures everything a Loar F5 was meant to do when Mr. Loar made the design parameters for the F5

    I remember this guy, seems like he was a kid just a few years ago and he did demos for some shop, always amazing demos!
    Had not saw anything from him for a long while.

    thanks Dem, this was excellent

    Definitely a virtuoso!
    Just wonderful to listen to, and amazing to watch.
    Thank you so much for posting this video. I had not seen this young man paly in the past.
    Surely one to keep on the radar.
