exactly why i say start with the metronome slow and then do the higher rhythmic values. clean 16th notes @ 75bpm are way more impressive than sloppu 16ths @ 100bpm
I hear/read so much conflicting information on this point. Some folks say practicing slow is contradictory to playing fast - that you should try playing fast, if sloppy, and work your way to clean at that higher speed. Sigh. I've been playing forever, and while I have, I daresay, an expert command of the fretboard (in terms of knowledge), I've always wanted to be faster. But it feels out of reach - maybe I am just not willing to practice that stuff enough to get there.
@@LP-123 personally, I don't see any way you could improve speed picking by always practicing fast. i truly believe the athletic approach works because that's what I did: start slow, get clean, increase. As I said in the video, you DON"T BENCH 200lbs THE FIRST TIME. That could result in injuries. Same is true with guitar. Play fast with bad form? You get slop. I don't know who these guys are that say "always practice fast" but the professionals (ie. the ones earning a living) that I studied under gave me this advice and it worked out great for me.
I play finger picking style but cut a finger which meant that I couldn't finger pick. So I decided to learn to pick. And I did this slowly and for accuracy
Thanks

The notes you play are irrelevant, if you want to learn to play fast, you have to play a lot. But remember the golden rule slow equals fast.

@@LP-123 I use the 80/20 rule. I practice slow and diligently 80% of the time and then 20% of the time I just go for it.
