Should i just slow way down and really focus on these outside shifts or keep my natural style and determine how to get more speed out of it?

If you feel that you should focus more in outside shifts, then do it - it can only do you good man. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Either way I think you should practice all techniques and have a choice when you play certain runs You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
