Dude rips. Had to teach his solo in Lizzy’s Cold Sweat recently. I think he hits somewhere around 240BPM 16th notes on some of those pentatonic “meedley” licks (as I call them). His picking across 2nps is ferocious, too.

Whaaat, 240bpm!? I hope he’s not picking everything

Go to around 2:10. It’s essentially the same two string sweep technique Yngwie does when he plays arpeggios like in Rising Force. I think Sykes is just doing reststroke, down, hammer/pull here, whereas Yngwie does reststroke, down, up, pull. Both licks are around the same speed.
Here’s Yngwie doing the same/similar technique. Go to 3:11

Sykes rules. I love those two Tygers Of Pan Tang records he played on.
