Dear friends,
I had a discussion with few of my students recently about developing speed, and I just want to share my thoughts on this subject with you guys as well
Practicing at slow speed and articulate is definitely a good way to prevent playing sloppy, - but that in itself won’t make you play fast unless you know what it’s like to play fast.
You must get in the feel of what it’s like to play fast before you can do it, because it’s a whole different thing
mentally!
So every once in a while, put the metronome at 300 bpm (or whatever) even if you know you’ll probably miss 80% of the notes, but do the best you can though. This will give you an idea of what it’s like to play that fast (even if it doesn't sound very good), and you’ll get a much clearer picture of what you will need to learn to do with your fingers.
This in combination with practicing articulate and slow is the best way I know to get fast results.
Now, lets hear your thoughts on this!
Feel free to agree or to disagree of course
