Behold the fastest clean, synchronized fretting thing anyone has ever played for us. Rusty Cooley's sweep sixes are just one of many examples of the amazing ideas he comes up with. The cleverness and efficiency of the pattern design lets him get this going somewhere in the ballpark of 180bpm sextuplets, or 270bpm sixteenths equivalent. That's straight up Atari 2600 territory. That we were even able to film this with the tech available in 2005 still amazes me. This is a remaster from the original tapes and files - in some cases over 20 years old - of our 2005 and 2013 interviews with Rusty. The collection features hours of new footage and over 190 of these mind-boggling musical examples. ( troygrady.com/interviews/rusty-cooley )
