Ya'll need to be enlightened. Most fiddle tunes and bluegrass is played between 200bpm to 250bpm.

The previous link is Tony Rice Unit playing at 220 bpm or so. This flatpicking guitar and mandolin---with no distortion or effects to hide behind.
Here are the Kruger Brothers. I can't even guess how fast this is.
This is no cumputer trick. I seen them do live many times.
We've been playing fast as hell down here in the South long before Amps were even invinted.
You guys could always do like Racer X did in the 80's and attach guitr picks to an electric drill.
