Depends on the type of fast passages you want my friend
 You have sweeping and you have alternative picking, here are 2 suggestions from me: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/solo-guit...ssical-etude-2/ https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/solo-guitar/sweeping-tune/ Both lessons above average difficulty but just train them at slow tempo and slowly increase Cheers Filipe -------------------- Currently Practicing

I am not sure what your playing style is or your level. I am sorry for that but I tried to find you a few things that may help and be fun to work with. If you can only play these at half speed and clean then you are well on your way to alternate picking shred.
These should help your hands get synced together. If not PM me and we can find something else.Cheerio https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/speed-alt...ing-lesson1.htm https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/solo-guit...picking-thirds/ https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/solo-guit...ernate-workout/ https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/in-the...llad-and-blues/ -------------------- "Think of a guitar solo as a paragraph. You need a clear beginning, a middle, and an end. Look at musical phrases like sentences, and make sure you break them up using punctuation—or space. You pause naturally when conversing, right? If you don't, you'll bore the listener. The same thing will happen with your audience if your solo is one dimensional. You'll wear them out and lose their attention." —Tom Principato

Coordination is usually something that you can apply to any exercise or lesson. If you have some kind of a fast passage that you need to work on then simply follow some general guidelines. Ramiro told some good advices about starting slow. I may wanna add an importance of micro pauses between notes in a sequence:
When you play 4 quarter notes you play them like this usually: - Start from 60bpm and going 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 the lines between the numbers represent that small amount of time that is needed to transfer to the next note. As the tempo increases the notes naturally become shorter, and the time you need to transfer the strings usually remains the same or cuts down just a bit like this: CODE @ 60bpm 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 @ 80bpm 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 @100bpm 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 @120bpm 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 This is where IMO most coordination problems occur. By cutting down the duration of the notes when going up tempo, fretting fingers are usually starting to "poke" the strings. This means that the time while the fretting fingertip is in contact with the string is becoming shorter and shorter. This makes your picking hand increasingly difficult to "hunt" down those smaller and smaller moments. This is why I recommend that when you start slow with any sequence you really keep those note durations (contacts with the strings during picking the note) as long as you can, and keep those transfer pauses shorter and shorter when you go up the tempo. You will achieve much better precision. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE
