A great lesson to practice finger strength and speed. It is also a great activity to practice hammering on and pulling off.



Increasing Speed When Playing

I have heard this a few times from a few guitar teachers that the secret to increasing speed is slow practice. Going over the chords or notes slowly and building speed that way. The other thing the instructor talks about is the importance of being relaxed.
