First of all, have you tried to practice with a metronome? It's really important to keep your playing clean and in time. It would be great also if you can upload a video of you playing some sweeps, so we can see if there are any mistakes on your playing

Welcome aboard Funguy. I believe Damir is right, you shouldn't pressure yourself too much. The goal of speed comes with accuracy and time.
In times when I couldn't go any faster, I actually slowed down things quite a bit to find out what may be wrong with my technique on problematic parts. And you know what? I found many sloppy moves in my playing on ultra slow tempos (40bpm, quarter notes). If you try to play same sweep on that kind of a tempo fludily, and increase speed gradually you will actually learn much more faster and more effective. It may sound untrue, but you should definitely try. This post has been edited by Ivan Milenkovic: Feb 16 2010, 05:21 PM -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

get down to the basics of the technique. Master two strings first! feel in your hands the right movement, strength, position and memorize it and then move on to 3 strings...
practice in various positions of the guitar so that it doesn't get tedious... -------------------- Visit my:

Its a good method as well as playing over your comfort zone (even if it sounds really sloppy) and then backing up to previous tempo which you had problems with - that will feel easier then.

 I never practice without a metronome and I don't leave home without it, since it's an app on my iphone I read about a method of practicing, where you start at a really slow tempo, like 50 BPM, then go up to a faster tempo like 90BPM, then back to 55, then 95 then 60, then 100, 65, 105, 70, 110.. and so on.. I find that this helps with accuracy a lot and it is really affective.-------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net

I like to start slow and stay slow if I build up speed, needs some time but it's the only way to chase those really fast tempos. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE
