How do you get your fingers to move this fast. Is there an exercise? I have been using a metronome but at this rate it'll be 2010 before I can manage the necessary speed. One other thing is that I am 37 so am I trying to do this at a bit of a late stage in life? Any help would be greatly appreciated. QS. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Practse it slow with a metronome and build speed a little at the time and eventually you can play it at full speed but dont ruch it and make sure yo are playing it clean You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

You have to say to yourself "I'm young and heatlhy in I wanna play those triplets!" Right, when you do that, start off by practicing real slowly those triplets, and work your way to the top. The moment you start to make mistakes stop. Practicing sloppy is not an option. COntinue later or tomorrow. It will come much sooner that you think.

If you want me to record an MP3 and include it in the thread(if that's possible) I would have no problem but as mentioned I only get to the Triplets and have not gone further so it would be a short mp3. Ivan. "I'm young and heatlhy and I wanna play those triplets!" Thanks This will be my chant as I practise. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
