Hallo people, Here’s a little article about the practical way to speed up your Guitar playing,

When some people play guitar quick, we look at them in amazement and wonder whether it is practicable for us to do the same? Let us review the situation and see if we can also do something to hasten our speed of playing the guitar. The very first thing you are going to need is a metronome, which you can buy one from your local music shop, steal one from a maiden aunty or download one for free on the web. If you decide to steal one, then I am afraid you will not make much progress in your quest to play guitar fast because short cuts just do not work. Usually we look for different shortcuts to get a task done, and that is the reason why we find the quick way of playing the guitar nearly impossible.

All right, you now have acquired the metronome and you are ready to begin. The next thing you need is something to practice on and these can be a musical passage from a song that has a solo section, a full exercise like a chain of scales or even a picking exercise. You need to choose your material carefully because you will need to know exactly how quick you want to play in terms of the settings on your metronome. You may or may not want to spend time learning your passage from scratch as some familiarity with the piece is necessary to start increasing how fast you play it. By familiarity I mean the muscles in your fingers, hands and arms need to be able to play your piece without hesitation.

This is the next thing you require and to be able to play the guitar fast you need to practice playing slowly first. Make sure that the chosen exercise should neither be too simple or too difficult. That is why it makes sense to choose an exercise to practice rather than a song or a piece which has a prolonged solo segment.

Now you are beginning to see the way ahead, if you have your practice musical passage ready, check it with your metronome and make sure you know what your present speed is. Then take the metronome to a level, which is not very high, and aim to reach that level. There is something, which you should avoid at all costs: muscular tautness. To study playing guitar quick, the last thing you want is muscular tension. To avoid any stress and tautness, just forget the time you are taking to reach the metronome setting. The idea is not to actually play the guitar quicker at sometime in the future, but to work a little bit on playing quick every day.

Thus if you choose a specific musical passage to hasten your playing speed and practice it diligently every day, your playing speed is bound to increase. As soon as you find that you have developed the right kind of skills on a particular exercise, select another one, which is a higher level in terms of difficulty. The issue is to start by knowing where you stand now and then you’re ready to focus on a new goal which you’de like to reach in the near future.
