Picking technique..
And wrist motion... 👎👎
14 hour work days and 2 hours of drive time 6 hours of sleep 2 hours to eat hang with family and shower and dress. This kills a lot of progress.
Hi, I couldn’t play Ibanez’s Wizard neck, so, I changed to ESP guitars, which is much better! I didn’t meant to hurt your feelings since you are using Ibanez.
@@DJCD92162095 Bernth plays an Ibanez AZ. The neck is much beefier than the usual RG wizard neck. But I get your point, dont like the wizard necks as well.
I like how all guitar tutorials start out with a dude shredding so we're all aware that he knows what he's talking about
So true XD
Of course. Guitar players are a fickle bunch. You gotta show you have mastered the things you teach for more people to take you seriously. It’s not about showing off. He’s saying…this is where you wanna get & I know how to do it.
Gotta make your point clear ya know 😭
I think it would be pretty fun to do an instructional video but have the video intro solo section just to be absolutely abysmal and mixed super horribly.. not to mention just no sound normalization between terribly timed video edits. A doctor Steve Brule type intro, but then best lesson ever
He's showing u where you're headed, if you haven't achieved that level! 😂
Bernth: sound is very important
Me practicing 99% of time without any amp at all: huh???????
Ik, i need to take my guitar to get fixed, but I haven’t had the time to go. I think something might be wrong with one of the wires, so imma end up taking it to get fixed. Been too long since I plugged it in tho.
@B Wise yeah, probably is because my Jack is sooo loose and I’ve tried fixing it but I just can’t seem to tighten it enough.
Playing without gain does not let you get rid of unwanted noise.
Me who is still saving up for an AMP -_-
@B Wise my mom kills me because i just started working on tapping and i use a TON of gain!
The biggest progress killer is procrastination. It's tough to do something with it because I usually get motivated enough to practice guitar at night when I can't do it because everyone else is sleeping...
Get some good headphones you can plug in your amp
BEATS HEADLHONES BRO, JUST DISCOVERED THIS TODAY AND NOW I PREFER TO USE THESE HEADPHONES
Yea and if you have a pair of wired headphones you like already, you can just get a super cheap little adaptor
3am is the best time to jam
@@PrimeEddie beats suck compared to AKG, Senheiser, even the cheap audio technica headphones are good lol. You can get AKG and Senhieser headphones for cheaper or the same price as beats and they are Much better quality material and better quality sound. Beats were good when they first hit the market but the company skimped put huge time after their product caught on with the young pop and rap community….
Man the whole straight fingers and left hand muting of strings is a beginners nightmare, I’d like to see more tips on the left hand string muting, I’m sure you have tricks 😃 thank you and keep up the great videos
lay your index across the strings below it, palm mute strings above, lightly touch string ahead of index with tip of your index finger, just explore, different ways work better for different people
Uae a pillow on haha ha ha😂😂😂😂🤣😂😂
When you do it it's a quick motion not super gentle your pushing all the strings down with fingers 1234 fast keep your thumb behind just do it firm you'll feel the strings click the fret or hear it in your amp if your doing it too hard.
Firmly but enough all the strings stop at once.
@@dudders4233 oh. That's exactly how I do that!
@@dudders4233 speak English
My biggest killer now is motivation and in general the creative process. I’ve always tended to be a rigid inflexible thinker, so I struggle letting go mentally and truly improvising. Instead, I stick to a couple of melodic and rhythmic patterns I like and use them so much, it starts to sound robotic.
I also can’t wrap my head around everything being susceptible to change or how to progress from one part of a song to another
I feel man, but once you get it, you'll have it. You'll get there buddy. Watching my favorite artists' tour videos always inspired me to play and write.
This is very much what I was afraid of not being able to overcome. I am an inflexible thinker as well and I always pondered if only flexible people can become great musicians. Surely, it comes to those more easily. But nowadays I'm more optimistic about gradually becoming able to let go, like slowly untying a knot. The key to getting there I think is really knowing your fretboard and practicing all sorts of scales, rhythms, tones and all. Once you are really familiar with all that, your brain will naturally know where the bridges from one pattern to another lie and you will be surprised to suddenly just be able to continue playing without really thinking about it. Just keep it on, I will do so as well.
You know, there are many idioms about talent and hard work. 🙂
That's a real struggle for most of us, I think. It's hard to get out of our own minds, thoughts and preferences to actually create something new (even to ourselves). What I do is try practicing different scales and modes, or even rhythms/genres. Many ideas come from exploring places where you don't normally go when you sit down to play or practice. Another thing is listening and playing different music, not the same genres and styles we're comfortable with.
You are on the right path. You practice parts until they are effortless and then you can piece them together seamlessly. Your motivation is wanting to be a better player.
ERDGESCHOSS!! I got super fustrated trying to address all my playing flaws at once. It wasn't until I start dealing with them one at a time, that I saw and felt a huge improvement. Thanks for all the great advise!!🤘🤘
Why 1st Floor? Scheisse meinst du?
Bernth, I been watching your videos religiously and honestly dude you make a man have courage continuing my guitar journey. You are a legend 🤟🏽
That makes me very happy, thanks for sharing this! Mission accomplished :)
Since that comment already exists I might as well just answer to this one and I'll say: this guy right now is helping me to encourage myself to practice more often again
If i make a list with what i do wrong, i probably start crying😂
My biggest killer is not playing everyday and not challenging myself to try other stuff then what i always play. Since i dont really know theory and stick to the same playing style its hard to play amd find new stuff to try out.
My number one progress killer was saying (or blaming) that work, this or erdgeschoss caused me to not have enought time to practice. Turns out I had plenty of time; half an hour after lunch, an hour before the kids wake up in the morning etc. Just dooooo it! :)
How is your comment a week older than the video itself? 😐

Thought I would leave a comment as I bought your 10 steps to modern shredding a couple of weeks ago. I picked up guitar again over lockdown have been "on and off" for a long time, always found it hard to determine what I should be focusing on while practicing. Your program has really helped add a structure to my practice routine and has enough content to keep me occupied for a long time! Thanks
Thanks so much for taking the time to share this! I'm very happy that I can help out on your journey, thanks for also being part of the course community! :)
ERDGESHOS scale - the first scale in Building ( pun intended) good technique!
I feel my playing is really on the erdgeschoss and I can't wait to take it to the next level. Great content, as always!

That *erdgeschoss* is where 99% of us are man lol
I just picked up the guitar again for the first time in 20 years. So glad I found your videos. They’ve been a big help in working out the rust and breaking bad habits.
Dude this video single-handedly got me past the wall I've had in guitar playing for a long time and I feel like I have made years of progress in simply a day! A lot of guitar tip videos I've watched are things that are naturally intuitive to a guitar player, or general wise sayings which don't really actually give a whole lot of guidance. This format of showing mistakes you're making and then the way to correct them is phenomenal and has really catapulted my confidence.
Thanks Bernth for all advices and your work .
I practice every day your 15 min routine since couples weeks now , and work on my bad habits to turn off this red light each time I'm playing !
It took me 15 years of playing to find all of these things on my own. Getting left and right hand muting working together was the biggest leap forward for me after Jason Richardson explained it in his Captain interview.
I can't thank you enough Bernth I have been playing on and off for 6 years I was stuck making no progress ( no motivation to practice ) I eventually stopped playing at all after watching your video on alternate picking I thought to again practice, during this Pandemic thing going on and man the progress I made past one month is so self satisfactory.....
You not only know how to shred but you do know how to teach...
Keep this quality content coming 🔥
The production and editing on these videos are AMAZING.
personally I found the constant twitchy editing quite distracting and a bit hard to watch. Video content was good though.
Love the channel, your content is amazing and has already helped me alot. That being said lol, my biggest struggles have been with hand synchronization and alternate picking. I try to challenge myself daily to do better and honestly some days are much more difficult than others. Any advice is welcome and keep shredding man, love your style 🎸
Thank you as always for the content Bernth. I am genuinely grateful I found you and your teachings. On my low days I just come and absorb the knowledge and and patience you put on which carries me to keep on rocking and focused on my practice. Much love and kind regards my sensei, Jay 🤘🏻
I can't play descending scales at the same speed of ascending ones. Your last video keeps me practicing on those speed bursts!!
@PenileAugmentation so we have just to practice 😎
This is so helpful! I've been learning the guitar for a few months but I'm still a beginner so I've been looking for tips on how to get better.
Nice tips, I am trying to curl my fingers and struggling but it was good tip as I can tell it's improving my playing already... I caught your premiere the other day, really badass tracks, really liked the album!
the coolest thing about you is that you have a totally awesome mind set , I have tremendous respect for people like you, Thanx for sharing your own short comings and failures most musicians act like they've never made mistakes ,sucked or even struggled. That is Huge because this gives us mere mortals hope and its also worth while knowing that even the crazy good players get stuck and feel lost some times.
Yes! Analize and work on the problems. Also, simple and short exercises that really focus on the problem are the way to go.
What I'm working on now:
On 3 note per string scales I always could go way faster descending with pull offs then ascending with hammer ons. Got to fix that!
MY biggest progress killer is seeing all these amazing guitarists completely blowing me out of the water! Like, what's your mailing address bro? I'm sending you all my gear!
Just go to your neighborhood open mic and you won't feel so bad anymore
Just remember that you're better than billions of other people
Honestly, as someone so hella out of practice that it hurts (left a lot of my instruments in my home country because I couldn't afford to bring them with me) - you will get better if you are consistent; don't compare yourself to others, just try to quantify how good you are by how much enjoyment you get out of practice, this is the only way you'll really continue.
Becoming an amazing guitarist is merely a side-effect of having a lot of fun with a stringed instrument.
Enjoy the process, enjoy being able to push yourself, play new songs, rock paganini, hybrid picking, keep that pinky under control - whatever floats your boat. There's always going to be someone better than us, but if we focus more on the enjoyment that we have while we play, then it doesn't matter if someone's better than us because we had tons of fun playing just 'cuz.
Best of luck to you
I've been playing rhythm guitar for a long time and have always wanted to learn lead, and ALL these points I realize have been the stumbling blocks in the way of my progress! Thanks for helping me feel normal LOL, strained picking technique and hiding behind too much gain is definitely something I noticed I do! 🔥
The list is spot on. After about 25 years of playing on and off I finally decided to really clean up my technique and came to the same conclusions. Basically, you have to build it up from scratch slowly, starting with the basics, such as how to hold the pick...
Dude you’re an incredible teacher and have some fantastic advice! I got my first “real” guitar a year ago, I had a cheap squire strat prior but after lots of research I ended going with a schecter demon with a Floyd rose. I was super scared to get the FR but I’m pretty mechanically inclined so string changes and tuning really wasn’t that big of deal. Anyways, I started my guitar journey alone and I started developing really bad habits and thanks to you I’ve broken most of those! Without you I honestly would still be pretty lost lol. Just wanted to say thank you for the tips and techniques! You’ve helped me so much! 🤘🏼
Man you're so far ahead that even your demonstration of improper string muting sounds clean and nothing like what I would get for a long time. Needless to say, this is one aspect that I started working on recently.
10:33 practise with gain when improving string/noise muting techniques, practise clean for fretting technique.
Thanks for taking us back to the edgeschoss, and for reminding us of the fundamentals for building a successful guitar journey.
Thank you for sharing all of your extensive guitar playing knowledge Berenth! I love your videos and I am subscribed because you are definitely one of the top technical guitar teachers out there and I want to improve my playing and know that my theory knowledge must increase for that to happen. You are a great resource for so many aspiring young/older shredi apprentices!
Thank you so much for this video! The one tip about the pinky adventuring away from the fretboard will help me nail the solo on Wonderwall
i started to play again, its been a few months now and i still feel like im at the erdgeschoss with my technique, but then i look back at my old playing style and i notice the improvements
Erdgeschoss! Danke dafür. I think my biggest progress killer is my finger placement on the fretboard. As I'm getting back into my practice, I catch myself touching the surrounding strings that I'm not trying to play!
I've always felt like I was stuck as a beginner, I dropped the guitar and picked it back up many times through the years, never progressing, but this time I am determined to keep at it, maybe do my own music at some point. I hope your channel helps me keep in check. I think everyhting you discussed is a progress killer for me right now, but most of all is lack of practice, I was always frustrated when I failed, it caused me to give up many times, now I realise failure is an integral part of the journey, and it doesn't mean you're not progressing it just means there's a new topic/thing you need to work on. Anyway, Thank you, your videos are always very informative and enlightening. ERDGESCHOSS!
Just subscribed after quite a while of watching your videos, your videos on picking and fretting hand techniques. Has been helping me a ton with my progress but still have miles to go.
Erdgeschuss!! Thank you for another fantastic video. My biggest challenge is keeping my pinky from flying around while playing. My second biggest issue is if I feel like I'm playing like trash I don't feel like playing even though I know I must keep going. Playing along with your videos is helping and I'm grateful for them.
Thunder above, Bernth's new video out, time to get down to the Erdgeschoss for some guitar practice. ;) As always, your videos on nooby problems are head on in a way most others are not. It's not like "here's a photo now you know how to hold a pick" but you really do get into the struggles and always find useful exercizes to put into the daily routine. Thank you so much for this!! You and your channel rock!
Thank you. I have serious problem with applying too much pressure/force to the fretboard -- especially when playing something aggressive.
Very nicely compacted video Sir! One of few short but very practical videos that are very on point!

When switching from an Am to a G in the open position while fingerpicking my index finger always does a pull off. It’s so frustrating that it makes me feel as though I’m on the endegchross of my guitar journey even though I’ve been playing for about 30 years
This is one of the best videos ever by anyone. Seriously. So many important points, so clearly and quickly. Thanks.
Thanks to you, I know a lot of what I'm doing wrong and the terrible habits I have to get rid of. It's enough to work on for a while so my band, Erdgeschoss, won't kick me out.
You covered something that has hindered my playing for years. Just recently got my hands to work a little lighter on fretboard. I had terrible wrist pain, of course I also have Carpal Tunnel.
Went from steel string instruments to nylon strings. Helped majorly. I am back to playing again. I use a distortion effect to make the strings sound metallic.
Great video. I actually was surprised that a lot of these don't apply to me. The ones about theory absolutely were helpful.
I feel like BERNTH is determined to make us all better guitarists couldn't thank him enough
My progress killer was not knowing scales in their different positions. Now I can solo across the whole neck much better. Erdgreschoss!
Do you mean different keys or one key in different positions?
@@teska3181 yes same key but in different positions.
@@caileanhunt8679 yes that is really important.
I got all the positions of the Pentatonic scale down, I just need to now start applying that to different keys
Gotta say, your 100% right the struggle is real. The more I suck the better I get! Thanks for the positive encouragement. Lol I’ll keep failing cuZ that’s how I learnt to walk too.
Just discovered your channel today, loving your content so much. Also, don't know if that was an intentional Tim and Eric reference at the end, but noiice lol 👌
Regarding sound, I had the exact opposite experience. I used to practice with a clean sound and thought it sounded pretty good. Then I turned up the gain and found out that it sounds quite horrible with plenty of unwanted string noise. Since then I practice pretty much evenly split between clean and high gain, depends on what I'm working on.
Wow,amazing ,thank u for taking the time to help us with all this,I've played for a long time,and I have some of those problems I just mentioned,so thanks again,,and I would like to say,another problem is getting a good person to work on my gear,this Monday,I picked up my Jackson,the man couldn't straighten the neck,so he hit my d string on every fret with a flathead screwdriver,crazy huh
Dude I'm subscribed!! You've helped me greatly with finger exercises, timing, techniques and so verymuchmore. Thanks so much!!
Hey thanks man your videos really help alot. I try to make it a habit to put in everything you teach with my practice.
This touched on everything I'm experiencing as a new guitarist. Thank you!!!
Technique was very important to my progress I wasn't getting anywhere I felt as if I was in a rut and one day I just decided to go back over the basics and that helped tremendously
My biggest killer is lack of discipline, not putting in the work to get the results. Also known as "I want it now without having to work for it" syndrome. I mean, if we're being honest, lets be brutally honest. I've had to find ways to trick my mind into practicing.
Psychology taught me that our brains love convenience, so if you seek to make some change in your routines, find ways to make them more convenient. Believe me, there's many ways to do everything
@@dukewild5071Hey i struggle with that a lot too, could you please mention some examples of how to make the practice more convenient?
I love the German words. Als Deutscher ist das soo witzig 😂😂 The comments below the videos are legendary
😂👍
Absolutely :D
@@Bernthguitar seriously - I love the new German words haha. My old boss studied German in graduate school and I would try to surprise him with words like... backpfeifengesicht and arschgeige LOL... but your words are just so wholesome and sound cool even if they describe regular things. (Still... a butt-violin is pretty awesome).
Got my first electric guitar, an epiphone sg! I love it and you are so helpful thank you!
I recently picked the guitar back up after 3 years. I only play the acoustic cutaway
So I have to remove the thumb at the back of neck after about 14 fret so I can access more.But it can be done it's just tougher ill get it eventually 😊 At it a week now. You're videos are actually quite helpful. The pick was something I never really payed much attention to. I'm going to the shop soon to buy those jazz picks they really make a mountain of difference
Thanks for the help 🙂I always found coz I play alone mostly to play along to the song helps you're ear and tuning and understanding plus timing . It's not the most creative but I just like to play songs I like 🙂
Im just getting back to playing guitar after a 3 year break and im very glad to have found this channel.
Thank you for sharing your experiences and your knowledge! Instant sub :)
Ah yeah and greetings from germany by the way, im even living in the Erdgeschoss :D
I've made every mistake on this list at least 2x over. Awesome video. Subscribed and joining your patreon. Thanks for helping us become better players!
Your every video is really helpful.. Learn many techniques from you..!! Take love man..💕
Fantastic stuff Bernth !! .. I am just a hack who is trying to re-learn guitar after not playing for about 30 years. I can't thank you enough for the material you publish here (yes, I am subscribed) and I will make a donation to your Patreon in gratitude for the help you are giving me. Hopefully I can re-teach these old hands to shred again, if that brain in between them doesn't get too much in the way! .. thank man! .. you are a fabulous player and a very bright young man.
You have helped me so much man. Thanks for the awesome channel!
Its very helpful thank you , im looking for TH-cam tutorials about guitar techniques and how to improve, and finally TH-cam recommend you, now im subscribe to you and staying tune for all your tips and lesson it helps me a lot. Thank you so much
My progress stopper: not ever working with a live in-person teacher.
I witched MANY different TH-cam instructors, and even bought many of their courses, but when I paid an excellent local teacher for some in-person lessons I realized the were a lot of little gaps I had in my understanding.
He gave me the erdgeschoss to fill in those gaps and it was a big fast leap forward.
thanks for pointing these bad habits out Bernth I'll watch this video again next time I pick up my guitar cause it could be several weeks to months where I don't even pick up my guitar and play anything and practicing feels like a job rather than fun cause I'm trying to teach myself now after having several guitar teachers over the years
I've been playing for so 15+ years.. I can still only play songs I looked up tabs for over the years. I wish I had these vids back when I didn't have to work full time. Bernth is amazing at getting to all the points that would've filled a lot of gaps in my playing
Collapsing ring finger was a huge one I saw with people I tutored. In the end it can lead to repetitive use injuries and strain that can permanently alter articulation. Another is holding the instrument in a way that causes excessive pronation and supination of either wrist. This tended to be due to improper strap length or because they saw someone play that way and it "looked cool". Again, a big cause of repetitive use injury and strain, but also contributes to overcramped playing. Finally I'd say a lot if attention could be payed to anchoring. Some styles absolutely require one or the other, but if breakneck rhythm is the goal' learning to "float" anchored fingerings and picking and vice versa gives one a quick understanding the function of finger articulation, and elbow articulation. Essentially, the lesson to learn is that short twitch muscles are important for limited bursts of controled activity, and long twitch muscles are infinitely better for long passages of high stamina output.
Deine Videos sind echt hammer und helfen sehr👍Vielen Dank und weiter so!!
My biggest killer has been impatience to just play, and honestly, a certain amount of laziness to do the work. I’ve handled guitars since I was a young teen, sometimes just dusting them off and moving them to sit down, whatever, then totally left the habit for a few decades (long story). Now that I’m 5 dozen, plus years mature (mature? Hahaha!) I’m aching to play; even if I’m my biggest fan! Mostly because I’ve realized my gift of gab and expression has begun to lend itself to song writing... this stuff must get out, no matter how it’s received, or I’ll crush under the weight of passion! So I’m here again on the erdgreschoss. But there’s familiarity this time around!
Have fun with it!! I am getting back into it after 13 years of not playing seriously, which isn't as drastic as your decades... but still!!
I have learned to focus on what I loved most about instruments - it was the fun I had while playing them. This made practice a lot more fun and even if I was grinding out spider-walks and scales, it was okay because I was enjoying myself for a little bit before getting back to work or my studies.
Best of luck to you - I hope that you post some of your songs soon; I will be happy to be a fan!
This is a great Chanel
Just starting out again and want to learn for real this time 😊👍
Richtig gut abgenommen mein Lieber, im Vergleich zum Live gig Video! Bestimmt durch das viele Gitarren spielen ;-) Hast nen Abo mehr. Sehr gute Videos!!!
Bad habit: practicing with a 'clock in the hours on autopilot' mindset instead of focusing on specific things to improve. And suggestion for a next random word: Datenschutzgrundverordnung. (That's what I deal with in my day job).
Personal I believe you have put together a great thing here. I'm very happy for you it's going good. I am on your PATREON site. The one thing I think you could improve is an order in witch you would use these exercises, a starting point for the skills you're bring to start with. Example I'm a good rhythm player but I just never went to the lead side. I want to be able to play like you and others that have mastered this. Ive recently had hand surgery on my left hand. I need to be able to use your system to take me from a stiff slower moving hand through your Most difficult exercises in the next few years. It can be hard to know here to start. Thank you for putting together a great site with tons of great information.
I love your videos man . Always informative without the show boating . Great stuff 🙂 I learn something everytime

4:38 "Are you rushing, or are you dragging, or are you gonna be ON MY FLCKING TIME?"
These are great points. While I am a bit upset that you can play a little faster than me, I love that you share this knowledge. 1: to get a clean sound you must use your fretting fingers to mute the unwanted strings, especially doing tap arpeggios! 2: using too much pressure, or allowing your hands to tense up totally kills your speed. This might take some time to master, but when you can relax everything and still go fast, you will fly! Awesome advice, and amazing playing. Fantastic legato technique
Thanks man,,I always love your tuttorial and,,and it is big help for me as a worship guitarist❤️👍
DUDE! love your videos! your explanations and tips are priceless! I would like to improve my playing but there is sooo much content everywhere on the internet, would you have any suggestions or tips where to start and on what to focus first? Thanks a lot for your consideration in advance. Pranam D.
@11:15 your "inconsistences" are where I aspire to get to :D
I got my guitar back after a year of staying away from it, due to the pandemic situation. Your channel has rejuvenated the love for guitar playing within me. Thanks a lot my man. From India ❤
That's great to hear, awesome that you're back at it! :)
@@Bernthguitar ❤❤
Is there any video of you about your left arm/ wrist/ thumb position and changes of those while playing? because that is what really keeps me guessing where the best or most profitable position and force change is is while going up and down the fretboard
Nice content right now my favourite teacher!💥💥💥
My guitar playing is definitely on the erdgeschoss right now...
Now the Erdgeschoss scale is definitely my favorite and will use it more from now on
Regarding point 5 I had exactly the opposite problem. When you play only on clean you don't focus as much on muting unwanted noise. I've read somewhere that "you should play clean to play notes you want. You should play with distortion to make sure you don't play sounds you want to".
My biggest progress killer is not playing at all.
Just discovered this channel as i look for more resources to improve my technique, its one of the best ive seen. Your effort is much appreciated
First floor, eh... Still sounds like a good thrash album name!
Interesting... I usually crank the distortion about midway. Having a more classical guitar background, I usually fail under distortion. I need at least some distortion so that I can hear big mistakes with string muting, or unwanted scraping. However, distortion kills dynamics and tone consistency. What a tangled web we weave.
I'm glad I used to play violin when I was young bc I remember and can apply things like straight wrists and curved fingers, and some basic music theory!
Thanks, I really appreciate your knowledge and sharing it. On the first floor.
Injust joined your patreon, beyond happy with the excercises
an add on I use for 5 is turn the tone knob/s all the way down and use the middle position on pick up switch. even with gain it shows a lot more than expected
I love your videos man. Always little gold nuggets to help learn. Thankyou
Now I know what to work on to, thanks BERNTH! Love your videos!
I'm new to the channel and I like it already. Do you do much material about acoustic guitars? I personally think it's the most pure sound and hardest to perfect as I can't hide behind gain and other effects like I do on my electric. I'm guessing you can make a nice acoustic guitar talk and tell us a story.... 🤞🏼
Übung macht den Meister! Thanks! Great Video!
Patience is important, slowing down for better control can sound faster cleaner than playing at top speed, I find after metronoming an hour or so a lot of speed is available but knowing when and how to use it is important
Like learning to be patient and contrast slower and faster lines to sound more musical
This was my biggest problem for too long I am much more conscious of it now when improvising
