At the moment I'm learning Gabriel's Zakk Wylde Style Lesson, and I can play everything in it, except one bar.
The lick I'm having trouble with is a 2nps pentatonic lick (video 3 if anyone wants to see it), that is 32th notes at 80bpm, which is quite fast, but a speed I can reach in 3nps patterns. I practiced it quite a bit, and when I stopped progressing (around 70bpm), I tried to isolate the problem. I tried it with the left hand at full speed, and I could do it no problem. When I tried to do the picking pattern though at full speed I just couldn't pick fast enough. What I'd like to know, is how to increase my picking speed. I can tremolo pick or pick 3nps patterns at this speed, but it is just about my limit. I know I can get my left hand faster with trills, but I can't think what to do to get my right hand faster. Also since I can just about pick at this speed, I'd be interested to hear if there's anyway I can increase my 2nps picking speed also. Matt |
