May I present you JOHN TAYOR, Fastest Guitar Player in the world (current Guinness World Records holder)…
Hi John, and welcome to Metal Shock Finland! What was the first song you played today?
Great question, and I wish I could remember! The first thing I played on my guitar today was a student’s lesson, and the first song I played in my car’s CD player was off of Helloween’s album “Gambling With the Devil”.
You’ve stated that you’ve a serious passion for music… would you like to tell me how and when you got into it?
My mom, Jane, is really the person responsible for planting the seed, and my dad, Mark, is the first person to help make it grow. My mom suggested I ask my dad to teach me how to play guitar after he had just placed his first electric in my closet for storage. It was pretty much a, “sure, why not?” kind of feeling at first. After he started showing me a few things to play I decided that I really wanted to learn the main riff to the song “Machinehead” by Bush. Not too long after that it was Iron Maiden that really made my new love of music take off. Music moves me in a way that nothing else can. It’s really otherworldly the hold music can have on me.
