You should try 3nps modal runs as well as 2nps pentatonics.
Check out Zsolt's lesson "Modal madness" to see what I mean. |

It has often been told on this forum that anything you do to make you feel more confident with your fretboard is good to increase your picking speed.

I believe that is true but it seems like my right hand is causing me troubles, when i increase the speed of the metronome, when i want to play faster. It is only the left hand, which is becoming more confident. Or so it feels like. Even some great players like Joe Satriani don't have great picking but legato instead, perhaps he didn't practice picking that much in early ages and then somehow legato came like his trademark, who knows. Anyways, if you have problems with certain technique or you're not satisfied with it then it always means just one thing, you haven't practiced it enough. -------------------- Youtube

The answer on this question is a simple one - practice. There is no "perfect" practice, there is no "perfect" playing, you are only practicing to make it as perfect as you can. The more you do that, the more perfect it will become. It is simple as that. Just stay focused and practice hard and long and the results (speed and accuracy) will come along the way - don't worry - they will come.

I'd like to see a video of you playing. Maybe your hand movement or position is not the best. But, apart from that, the only thing I can recommend to you is something simple but at the sam time, so complex. PRACTICE!!. Hahaha

There are several ways but the best is if you use them all together.
1. Spend 30 min with picking warm up exercises 2. Play scales with metronome and increase 5bpm every 10 min until you're safe (no rush) 3. Play a solo along the backing track and learn it properly until you make no mistake. Start slowly of course This is how I used to practice for several years. -------------------- Check out my <a href="https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/instructor/Emir-Hot" target="_blank">Instructor profile</a>

I absolutely agree, building speed needs a lot of practice, and it is a kind of long term goal, you won't become lightning fast in 4 weeks,, this needs some more devotion. Practicing with a click or a metronom is absolutely essential, warm up before practicing, start at a speed that is comfortable for you and only increase the tempo in small steps. -------------------- Guitars: various Gibson Les Pauls / Gibson J 45
