Ben Lee, who can play Flight of the Bumblebee, at an average of 15 notes per second, is declared the quickest human on the planet.
Judges and scientists working on the Discovery Channel show Superhuman Showdown unanimously voted the 32-year-old musician the fastest superhuman on earth, after he beat off stiff competition from a speed shooter and a base jumper.
Ben and his fellow competitors were tested in a controlled environment and researchers used magnetic electrical pulses to measure the contestants' brain activity during their tasks.
Among those vying for the title were the world base race champion Frode Johannessen, who can 'fly' unassisted at 170pm and speed shooter Jerry Miculek who can fire eight rounds on four targets in 1.06 seconds.
Head spinner Aicho Ono, who can perform 135 head spins in one minute, and speed eater Pete Czerwinski, who is able to eat a 12 inch pizza in 34 seconds, also tried their best to win the coveted title.
Ben was thrilled to have been declared the winner: "It's taken tens of thousands of hours of practice to reach this speed but it definitely helped that my parents were musical and encouraged me to play."
