There are lots of great exercises here that will help out with your agility, accuracy and timing - all very important in developing speed.
I would highly recommend the Palm Muting exercise by Dejan Farkas: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/palm-m...workout-lesson/ I have always thought it has an Iron Maiden feel to it which I really liked but more importantly, it really helped me out with my fretting hand agility. Although I still only play this between 80-90 percent of the lesson bpm's, I feel that it is sufficient to play most things for now and the rest of the speed will come eventually (I seem to be much more limited by my picking hand speed). To me, I don't notice the increased speed but my friends tell me I am alot smoother and faster now. Another recommended lesson would be Trond Vold's Picking Exercise - a little trickier and also pretty cool sounding. |

Whatever you're playing, never, but NEVER!!, forget to play with a metronome. First slow, then speed up little by little. That's the best way to make your playing faster and cleaner.

As people nicely stated, you are building speed with every exercise you do. Take a metronome, start from slow tempo and go up while maintaining accuracy. This is the only way to become fast over time. There are many different techniques that you can use to play fast, and lots of different stuff, so perhaps narrowing down to some music style, or technique can help us to determine what exactly are you looking for.
