I'm adding this to my practice routine. It's like this lesson was made just for me or something. I hit my speed plateau a few years ago. I struggled to get past it. And then just accepted it. "That's just as fast as I can play so, I'll just accept it." I'm totally not accepting it anymore. I'm going to do this every day. Thank you again for giving these lessons away for free. I've learned _so much_ from this channel.

Reminds me of singing high. "You just sing lower and eventually you'll sing high!" I never followed this, and it was a little late when I first heard this. It might have been an advantage. I did have to get it corrected later, but actually singing high works better for people like me. And wow. This is a fantastic lesson

i remember a video of shawn lane talking about this and he talked about starting fast and cleaning up instead of building up. building up to higher speed can put mental limits on your movements and you likely need to change your posture or technique at different paces so building up doesnt really do the job too well.

Remember you don't have to play these exact notes its just an example of what to do. You can make up your own sequences or patterns at different frets and strings. It would sound good on the 5th and 6th strings with a bit of crunch!

@rebelangel82273 ай бұрын
speed is all in hand technique...you need to see your arm hand and fingers as potential pivot points for movement...I can play fast with zero hand issues and the reason is i use the natural pivot points of my elbow...wrist ...and yes even my thumb and index finger cuz they can pick a string on their own for speed playing its about your wrist but if your getting to much discomfort its because your overworking your writst this is when you should incorporate your ability to manipulate a pick between your thumb and finger use them as a counter motion to your wrist so you wrist doesnt have to overwork itself i can play very fast with zero stress on my hand...and ive been able to play like this for years with almost no hand movement i dont curly my fingers cuz i extend them to counter balance my wrist for down motion and i pull up quickly with thumb and index finger after a while it feels so natural you wont even realize your doing it... that is my personal experience

100% 🔥 In my humble opinion, the whole ‘build-up-from-slow’ isn’t the most effective way for anything above 180-ish Bpm (16ths). Personally, fragmenting has worked every time. Simply making those fragments bigger when you’ve mastered the smaller ones makes it way more manageable, and easier to track progress. Like MAB said many years ago, you’re only as fast as your potential speed, and this method is an excellent way to push through the barrier into uncharted territory.

Question about the picking. If I begin with an up pick and up pick the next not kind of like a sweep, does that work? It feels much more natural to do that, but I’m not sure if it will hinder my speed. I end with a down pick. Also I want to ask this too: I practice scales to a tempo and practice the circle of fifths. I play the blues, diatonic modes, and harmonic minor scales going up the circle of fifths while increasing the tempo by 5bpm. I’ll practice some scales at 130 go up to 145 then go down back to 130 and go up to 145 again about 3 times. Thoughts?
@grimg0r7 ай бұрын
that would be economy picking and its essentially a technique of its own. me personally i prefer to use alternate picking (constant up and down motion) for fast/technical riffs and economy picking for smoother sounding leads and sweeping obviously. its mostly about preference but they both have their ups and downs. and as for the practice method i think as long as youre not hurting yourself you should push to the highest BPM you can go (it doesnt have to be clean), and slow it down about 10-15 bpm to get comfortable with it and gradually continue until youre comfortable playing that limit.
@thomasgoude88007 ай бұрын

I also use economy picking, but apparently only when going down the strings, so I am trying to learn to alternate pick everything so my picking is more consistent in sound and rhythm.

The one thing I found that improved my speed was trying to play fast. Sooner or later your hands come into sync, and if you can find a way to make that happen, you will improve faster. I'm not telling you how I made my hands go faster and with much more sync as it's illegal and harmful (and mastered sweeping too!).

I am honestly a new player still under 2 months but have felt like the slow build up will eventually see results just curious if most people agree to work on this at a much higher BPM rather then slow and work your way up? I know my actually picking technique is probably part of the problem but I am also still getting stuck like right under the speed to play songs I love at their tempo like Sweet child o mine and thunderstruck

Fast in short sharp burst…. I’ve been shredding for years. But only you and maybe one fourth of the instructionals I’ve read have suggested this. And it’s the method that I think works for the other half of players. But I’m suspicious how much more the up and coming shredders would actually develop out of this. I’ve been playing for 20 years and shredding for 13 of them. I could have done it faster with this though😅. Of course I still learned classic rock, punk and metal from 60’s to 80’s that was mostly shred less (but definitely had solos, cause proggers-ocd!)…😂
