I almost saw Yngwie live last week on a whim... the only thing that stopped me from going was that there was a huge line when I got there (wich I was very suprised about). FWIW Dream Theater's old keyboardist Derek Sherinan is in Yngwie's current live band.

Another guitarist who I've always been impressed with is Steve Morse. Check out "Tumeni Notes" off his self-titled solo album for an example of his fast playing. IMO his stuff has held up among the best of the "guitar god" set. A lot of Vai's stuff, for example, sounds really over-processed and dated now.

JaTo, I have a lot of respect for Flamenco and classical guitarists. But I personally separate fingerstyle from picked as far as "fast playing" is concerned.
