18 Practise for speed

A Practise slowly

We mean it! Whether you’re a budding shredder or just trying to get a new song up to tempo, slow practise is the key to building up your playing speed.

B Breakitdown

Short phrases are easier to remember, practise and ultimately get up to speed. Even the briefest of licks can be broken down and practised note by note.

CIdentify tricky points

It could be a position shift, a stretch or just a technique you struggle with. Isolate tricky points and repeat the bits that challenge you the most.
