I found this on my hard drive today, I bought it years ago and like so many guitarists thought it was a magic pill that would be a short cut to blistering speed up and down the fretboard!
It was forgotten about when I realised it didn't make me Paul Gilbert, now coming back to it and seeing it for what it is, a really handy tool for drilling your technique and pushing your speeds and giving you a way to measure your progress, I think it will be a much used piece of software during my practice time. The ability to add custom drills, means I can input Todd's Alt picking lessons etc into it and use them as well as the ones the program comes with. -------------------- My SoundCloud

With Guitar Speed Trainer you set up a profile
They give your drills for down and up strokes (single direction) and you play the drill at increasing bpm and class it as Effortless, Easy, Tiring, Broken, Impossible. You do the same for Alt picking, Chromatic, Scale, Pattern, Random This is your starting point Then when you do all the different type of drills you can put your starting bpm at an Easy bmp and have it increase up to a broken bpm and come back down to easy again. http://www.guitarspeed.com/ Maybe not anything you couldn't do with a metronome and paper and pen but convenient and a simple user interface. -------------------- My SoundCloud

Pretty sure this is the same guy that made 'Guitar Scale Method'. People looking for some structure in their learning should definitely consider getting both of these.

Awesome! Thanks for the name of the program.
Before the program I was using Guitar Pro and notepad to record my times...this program keeps both in a tidy manner. |

Exchange rates made it a good buy for me when I bought it, but
i do laugh at the free upgrades bit, as they've never upgraded it since I bought it many years ago -------------------- My SoundCloud
