think of it as weightlifting.. your not going to be able to start out lifting as much as you possibly can.. take your time, keep your muscles relaxed, and eventually your speed and endurance will build. try some stretching, or using some small free weights, anything to relax and warm the muscle up, that is key. i agree with wheeler, playing from your wrist has benefits, your less likely to get fatigued and less likely to get injured. Good analogy - I'm at the building stamina stage - every time I up the metronome, for a while I tire easily, but as I get used to the new speed, my endurance also increases. I also play better at the end of a practice session than I do at the beginning as long as I haven;t tired my muscles out too much - warm ups are important, don;t try for your ultimate speed right away. -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile
