UkraineBiography of Sergiy Putyatov
Sergiy Putyatov, a guitarist without a permanent job, became the holder of the title of the fastest guitarist. He hails from Donetsk, Ukraine. In 2012, his record-breaking speed of playing the guitar, with 27 notes per second, was documented in the Guinness World Records. To achieve this feat, Putyatov composed a speed etude specifically for the record. He also performed the piece at a slower tempo to ensure that the melody could be heard and recognized by experts, proving that it was not a random assortment of sounds. Even for those with a high tolerance for musical complexity, Putyatov's speed is truly impressive.
Back in his homeland, Putyatov had already set a speed record (which was actually slightly higher). It is known that he had to wait after submitting his request to the Guinness World Records, during which time he honed his skills even further. Additionally, Putyatov is the head of a large family, with four young daughters, and has always faced challenges in finding steady work.

Interestingly, besides the guitar, football has always come naturally to Putyatov. At some point, he even dreamt of becoming a professional football player, but a injury prevented him from pursuing that path.
Today, Putyatov's mastery is recognized worldwide, thanks to his record in the Guinness Book of World Records. This achievement gives him the right to feel like the "best of the best". In conclusion, Sergiy Putyatov holds the record for playing 27 notes on the guitar in one second.
