Hey, just a heads up this Patreon link isn't working. I think it's because the guitar emoji is attached to it. When I click the link it shows a "Not Found" page and the emoji is there in the URL bar :)

@@lancemc9298 Thanks! Just fixed it 👍😁

Thanks! I appreciate it!

I had this same problem too. Playing a long time and couldn’t get any faster. I found an easy and fun way to overcome it. I had to disconnect my brain! It was getting in my way. I know it sounds really funny to say (and to read). It’s really more of retraining the brain. I was stuck in a rut overthinking. The connection between my brain, ears, eyes and hands was slowing down my playing. Here’s the easy way to do it: You’ll need to repeatedly play with headphones on. Turn on a movie that you really want to watch. Turn on the closed captions and read the movie while you practice riffs, licks and play songs. Play for entire movie. It might take a few months of this, but you WILL be able to break that plateau like this. What I, and the several others who have used this method have found, is that you won’t need your eyes to be watching the neck while you play and your hands will just start doing exactly what you need them to do. In no time you’ll be shredding the neck at the fastest possible speed that your muscles and nerves can manage.

@@genespliced Thank you, I’ll give it a shot!

This sounds like something I do. I practice with a 500mS or greater delay, mix at 100% so my original notes don't come through the amp, only the echo. Turn the TV up loud enough to not hear the guitar acoustically so I only hear that delay from the amp. When I can't hear the parts that I stumble on while executing them, they are clean, meaning the delayed part is perfect. I think that not knowing (hearing) that the tricky part is "now" makes me not aware of it and play smoothly right through it. The trick is then to do thus without delay and loud TV. Maybe try for a few months like you suggested!!!

@@user-ri5fe7ti6i Ha!! That’s a good one! Who knew “Friends” were all frustrated guitar hacks?!?

Same story here. I’m just now levelling up. The trick that seems to be working for me is “chunking”. I play the metronome at near full speed and focus on a little of the lick at a time. Like, the first four or five notes even. Once these are comfortable, add a few more notes. Its about building muscle memory. Good luck.

Thank you! 😊🙏

Thanks! :)

Kiesel still make it! This is just the headless version 👍😁

It’s important to have variety! I use a chromatic exercise as a simple example that most people have probably tried. But I would do the same thing with scales, sequences, lines from solos, anything you’re trying to get faster with!

The thing with this is that practicing speed and learning a piece is totally different, you will never have trouble remembering what's next at speed if the tempo is below your limit, maybe the song is above your level and you need to work on your chops first and come back later, it is not that you have to think faster is more that your body is too stressed trying to keep up and therefore there is not enough compute power left to actually remember the song.

My Kiesel Type X 😁👍

@jamierobinson777 thank you so much my friend! Thank you for your videos! I've come a long way because of your stuff 😎 symphony of destruction will be my first ever guitar solo! Once I clean it up I can truly say thanks 🙏🎸
