It depends on what notes are being played... Alvin Lee played very fast but always tastefully, in a blues-rock vein. That's the kind of music I grew up with back in the late 60s early 70s. Most of the bands I loved and went to see featured virtuoso guitarists, that was what rock music was all about at the time. Unfortunately, it later devolved into big hair metal bands which I found embarrassing, and now speed metal which is impossible for me to listen to because it doesn't even resemble music
