Speedpicking Solo's

For clean and flowing single string delivery - Paul Franklin, Buddy Emmons, Doug Jernigan, Tommy White and Mike Smith have all recorded some blisteringly fast solos. However, taste can go out of the window with ultra fast solos. I've heard some incredibly fast soloing on some recordings that were completely out of context. The old gag of "Are you being paid by the note?" should always be bourne in mind.

How about Lloyd Green on Lynn Anderson's cut of Rocky Top? Legend has it that it took 20 takes for the whole band to pull it off but Lloyd nailed his part every time.

I agree with Jody - The "Big E" hands down. He's probably forgot more than most of us will ever learn in this lifetime.

There is a version of "My Window Faces the South" on the JD Crowe and the New South's album "My home ain't in the Hall of Fame" that I've always thought contained some of greatest / fastest steel playing I've heard. I believe it was Doug Jernigan but I may be wrong about that.
