Whats the best way to practice these? Slowly. That answer is short and disappointing, but it's the truth. If you can stomach it, any kind of AP exercise at excruciatingly slow speed will eventually fix this problem. There are some ways to trick yourself into hating these exercises (and the starting tempo) a lot less: 1. concentrate on the quality of the note, not the speed 2. add a delay effect that's echoing faster than the notes you're actually playing. It'll start to sound more musical --perhaps a lot-- depending on the lesson you've chosen. -------------------- ::jafomatic

I know what you mean,
Practice groups of two positions at a time,don't try to do the whole at once yet, and the other thing is to have your muscles remember every shape, you achieve this by practicing quite much, -------------------- Visit my:

You should try to make mini exercises out of those problematic areas. If you find one switch to be hard, just make a two bar exercise that will incorporate that switch. Once you master it, make it a larger portion or different hard part (of lick) which will incorporate different switch. Go really slowly and concentrate on the sound and movement. When you are on your "top speed", metronome increasing will be only 1 bpm at a time...

It takes a lot of time if you want to play really fast. But before that time, you have to learn to play it perfectly on extremely slow tempos. When you do that, you will have proper foundation to be able to aim to high speeds.

You have make the metronome your new best friend!! Hahaha. Seriously, start slow and you will understand perfectly every movement and you will be able to coordinate them. Be sure to have full-understood before speed things up!

Todd here I'm a big Alternate Picking fan and focus on that in my video lessons every Saturday at 2:00 Pm E.S.T. Do join us and I'm sure we can get you past your stick point! For starters, take a look at the lesson series that I've started working on here at GMC. Here is a link to the notes and tablatures so far. 10 Lessons focused on building your speed and precision during Alternate Picking.
LINK TO ALTERNATE PICKING LESSON NOTES/TABS As many folks have said here, and they are dead on, the Metronome is your best friend! Being able to play consistently to a click track is the path to greater speed and precision. You will reach a stick point, the metronome can help you focus and work past it. As you work through the lessons, always try to use a Metronome. for now Practice! Todd |
