Practice, practice AND practice.
 Use metronome (or drum loop if you want), start slowly, keep it clean and accurate, then upgrade the speed as you feel comfortable. Developing speed is a long process so you'd have to be focused and prepared for hard work, with lots of patience in your pocket. However let us know if you have any problems or thoughts.

That 5, 6, 7, 8 is, in essence, a chomatic scale and so I would say to alternate that with picking arpeggio fingerings which will be of a huge benefit to you at a later time when you may choose to learn to pick them as sweep.

Any kind of exercise can be used for speed building man, you can play anything fast. The easiest things to play fast are alternate picking runs, and simple legato licks, so possibly focus more on those kinds of sequences. Use triplets, and as everybody said, start slowly, and keep it precise, it has to be perfect.

Yes this is how I do every lick, and it is very beneficial, cause you acquire feel for several note durations which is very important. Just keep rocking like this, and possibly learn some fast AP runs to spice up your solos with. Don't need to practice them with all durations, you can for example run only triplets 8th and 16th, using 3nps patterns, and just run the patterns up and down. This will create a nice foundation for using those runs later in playing. From then you can develop it in any direction you want of course. Let me know if I can help you with this.

From the tab, those are 16th triplets. That means, 6 notes per beat (at 4/4 compass). So it is basically twice as fast as normal triplets. I am now trying to practice as Ivan said, in all combinations to develop sense of different note durations: 1 note per beat (quarter note) 2 notes per beat (8th notes) 3 notes per beat (triplets) 4 notes per beat (16th notes) 6 notes per beat (16th triplets) From those I think the most important are 3 notes per beat and 4 notes per beat, cause they are very useful and if you can do them probably you can do the slower ones also. And the 6 notes per beat are more for very specific runs... This post has been edited by Gus: Jul 31 2009, 10:38 PM -------------------- my "Thank you GMC!" video

Personally I don't practice speed specificly. I do lessons of all kind and discover now and again "Hey, I can play pretty faster now then last time I checked!" because I've gotten more control and becoming more synchronized.
Allthough, this lesson and it's series is one of the things that has helped me a lot ^^ -------------------- GMC is not just a website... It's a lifestyle!

QUOTE (smolgaard @ Jul 31 2009, 06:35 PM) But what to use to develop it. right now i just play fret 5,6,7,8 on every stirng over and over again but is what i shall do or is there other things there is better to do. (sorry for my bad english)  Practice just about everything that you want, scales, arpeggios, picking, legato, you name it! Options are endless and you can practice whole day long.

I agree with Muris. You should practice every way possible (melodic and harmonic material) and apply phrasing to it because without it sounds like some exercise
