Hello Kristofer!

I am working with my speed with your speedpicking lessons.
And i see that i can play much faster now.
But my question is what BPM do you recomend aiming for??

This is tricky one - because I'd like to answer you that you should keep on the bpm you are at, without pushing speed at all. This will make progress a little slower - but once you do get there your playing is going to sound better than 99,9% of all shredders.

However since I know that most people get bored when practicing day after day with the same bpm - my answer would be to push the bpm speed just so much that you remain inspired. But if you overdo it... you might get separated from the world of tone forever
