Zsolt said: "After hours and hours of practicing some basic sweeping patterns, I finally reached my desired speed of sweep picking." It takes a lot of practice to get to the speed we all desire. How patient are you with your techniques? Do you really give yourself hours upon hours? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Just boring exercises, nothing fun, just... pick pick pick pick pick pick pick pick pick. Everyday. Man, that was horrible. Maybe I should do the same with sweeping and legato too...

Not only has he reached more speed but I personally hear an even cleaner technique there too.. his arpeggios have even more of a nice, muted qulity to them ! It's been a long time since I really spent hours on a technique.. but the one that's always dragged me into obsession is alternate picking. Surely the No1 nemesis of most guitarists ??

I usually do small spurts of practice time. Which I guess is better than none. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Got a bit carried away with it and felt just empty without it. Something about the comfort of the modal repetition, the micro gains in speed/precision with each revolution of a scale/pattern, building, buidling, faster, faster, loved it. Still kinda do actually. I recently taught myself to play (solos/rythm) using the left hand only, then without the left thumb using only the fingertips on the left hand. This became the "Playing The Impossible" series of lessons we have been doing in video chat. At first, both of these were like learning new scales. After just a couple hundred hours or so, It was second nature. Doing stretches, and using Ice on my forearms and hands really helped. If it wasn't for a great physical therapist I had, I"m certain I'd have wrecked my hands/arms by now. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
