In this lesson I show you an exercise to increase your tempo, we introduce short bursts of speed picking (16th note triplets) in the context of 16th notes at a tempo that you're already comfortable with. Working on this exercise will push your tempo and clearly seperate those 2 techniques of mid-tempo and super fast alternate picking!

A couple of points here. You'll be working on more than just speed with this exercise: you'll be working on accuracy and stamina too. If at some point you find you can do those 16th note triplets for longer, push yourself and do them for 2 beats instead of just one, and then go back to straight 16th notes and repeat. This exercise is so extremely effective that Bernth recommends it, but also Martin Miller, Ben Eller and even John Petrucci in his Rock Discipline video. Just remember to start slow (if you need to, go down to 8th notes instead of 16th notes) and build from there in short bursts. Since I started this exercise I have increased my speed by about 20bpm in a week or so, and I can play for longer at faster speeds than before.

Bernth, I recently came back to guitar playing after 4 years, and quickly regained my chops to the point where I stopped playing. The issue was, I had reached a wall with my speed and technique that wasn't obvious before. Your training videos and co cents are helping me to break that wall and move forward. Thanks brother.

I’ve been watching your videos for a couple of weeks now, and what amazes me is that you bring so much musical knowledge in just 12 minutes or so! It’s a blast to recall all this theory and practice from my “old” classes (I started playing the guitar since I was an 8 yr old boy, and now I’m 35... it feels like another life hahaha). By the way, what made me write a comment was your mentioning that you repeat a lot to work slowly on your metronome and to avoid speeding up unless you’ve perfected your technique; it made me remember my guitar teacher (a wonderful teacher and musician, by the way) who always had to calm me down and appease my anxiety, because I wanted to start playing like Slash while I didn’t even know all the Gregorian (Greek) modes...lol. Now it’s a breath of fresh air to watch all these things, your simple but deep insights and approach, even to “polish” my technique, since I’m not a professional musician and have not plenty of time to dedicate myself to it. Congratulations, and I’m sorry to write in English but my German is kind of rusty to write a message this long. Grüße aus Brasil! Wunderbar Arbeiten du machen da! Bis dann!

Maybe a silly question, but what is a good tempo to start practicing at to start "playing fast". I've been doing this exercise at 80 bpm, 1/16th notes and was going to use "learn to run by walking fast" approach before I watched this video again. Is 120 fast enough? 160? I'm not even sure I could go that fast.

@burzvegal28465 жыл бұрын
Hi Bernth, thank you for the lesson. As a beginner guitarist, I have 2 questions. First one is, do you recommend using metronome or guitar pro? I’ve noticed that I can’t keep the rhythm with metronome although I’m able to follow the same licks with guitarpro so I wonder should I force myself to work with metronome or it doesn’t matter. And secondly for picking hand, couple of people told me to roll your wrist like opening door knob, instead of moving it up and down. As far as I can see, you don’t roll your wrist. Does it can lead any problems/disadvantages? I found the up down motion more natural than the rolling but I don’t want to be injured either. I hope i can reach to a playing level where that I can be able to follow your 10 steps private course. Thank you.
@Bernthguitar5 жыл бұрын
Hello and thanks for the comment! I worked a lot with Guitar Pro when I was learning songs when I was starting out since you can lower the tempo or repeat certain sections you want to work on - what a great tool! I still use it a lot for my transcriptions and the tabs you see on screen in the videos. So I recommend it for sure but nothing improves your timing more than working with the unforgiving metronome :) When you only play to Guitar Pro files your ears often focus more on the MIDI guitar than the metronome and that might cause some trouble when you have to record or play just to a click! I know it can be frustrating but it really pays off later. Concerning picking technique I also like to use my wrist but for super fast sections I tend to use more of my arm and get great results with it - the motion is still small/economic and I can control the articulation of my picking strokes quite well, string transitioning is also not a problem. You're never done working on your picking and I'm constantly trying out more and different approaches but this is the one that serves me great since a couple of years! Hope that helps
@Ranger114135 жыл бұрын
If there's anything that I've learned from trying to learn guitar and get to this level of playing is this : You can't have anything in your life, a job, a family to support or other obligations and every waking moment you must have a guitar in your hand. Sadly, I can't devote that kind of time to it. I wish I could.

Thank you Bernth. Is the spider exercise just for finger independence? You don't normally play like that because you need to mute the higher strings correct?
@Bernthguitar5 жыл бұрын
Hey Sean! Workouts in the chromatic scale are always great for your finger independence, especially once you start pairing fingers that usually don't work work too much with each other (just training/playing with your ring- and pinky finger for example). This particular one has the main focus of improving your left hand technique in general, since you press down with all your fingers you are forced to maintain a good angle of your fretting hand and your fingers are not allowed to block any strings. Doing that for 5-10 minutes every day does wonders for your left hand :)
