In this guitar speed lesson video, I’ll show you how to synchronize your 2 hands so that playing guitar fast becomes easier, cleaner and sounds better.
Here’s what I’ll cover in this lesson:
I’ll show you why your guitar speed becomes limited when your left and right hands are not perfectly synchronized and then I’ll show you how to fix this problem step by step.
Step 1: Become aware when your two hands are not in sync. Some people struggle to hear this, especially when playing guitar at high speed. I’ll show you how to know if your hands are out of sync when you are playing fast.
Step 2: I’ll show you how to identify the exact point where your 2-hand synchronization is breaking down. You cannot fix your synchronization problem and build fast speed on the guitar until and unless you know exactly where the hands are getting out of sync.
Step 3: Practice your speed licks just before the two-hand sync breakdown.
Step 4: Accent the specific notes that are not in sync. (some notes you play will be in sync while others won’t be).
Step 5: Accent every beat! If you’re playing a series of 16th notes (for example), accent the first of each group of 4 notes. Playing with a metronome helps.
Step 6: Forget about what perfect playing sounds like and instead learn to focus on what it FEELS like when your hands are perfectly in sync and when they are not.
Step 7: AFTER you memorize what perfect 2 hand sync feels like, it’s time to really memorize what it sounds like.
