The world's fastest guitar player Sergei Putyatov demonstrated his skills by playing 330 notes in 10 seconds in the Crimean city of Yevpatoria on Friday.

Sergei Putyatov set the world record by playing 27 notes per second in May 2011, outdoing Russian and Brazilian artists Victor Zinchuk and Tiago Della Vega.

Putyatov lived in Donetsk for ten years, but had to move to the Crimean peninsula after the situation in the region escalated.

The previous world record in the Guinness Book of Records were set by Russian guitarist Viktor Zinchuk in 2002, who played 20 notes per second. Later this record was beaten by the Brazilian artist Tiago Della Vega, who played 24 notes per second.
