I am really good picker, but when it comes to left hand....really weak. I can do legatos and stuff, but togehter left and right....I have problems with sync. I noticed that whenever you don't press the fret hard enough it's harder to pick. You have to invest more energy in that single stroke. Also, the really important thing about left hand is how fast can your raise your finger from the fretboard. That determines overall speed. Just a thought, I may be wrong. What certainly works? Playing with metronome. NOTHING can beat the metronome. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
