When some people play guitar fast, we look at them in amazement and wonder whether it is practicable for us to do the same? Let us review the situation and see if we can also do something to hurry our speed of playing the guitar. The very first thing you are going to need is a metronome, which you can buy one from your local music depot, steal one from a maiden aunty or download one for free on the world wide web. In case you decide to pinch it, be careful, as it may not help you to play guitar fast, as shortcuts in life never work. Usually we look for various shortcuts to get a task done, and that is the reason why we find the quick way of playing the guitar nearly impossible.

So you have a metronome and mentally ready to get started. Now you want something by which you can do your practice sessions and these could include a part of a song, which has a solo segment, an exercise like a series of arpeggios or a picking exercise. You would have to choose your materials wisely, since you are keen to record your speed of playing in terms of the settings, which you have to do to your metronome. It is not mandatory to spend time trying to study the passage as something new since you have to be familiar with the piece if you want to gauge your speed of playing. When you know the piece a little, it means that the muscles of your fingers, hands and arms support you as you play the piece and there is no point where you fumble.

Thus this is the crucial thing that you want and to play the guitar fast play it slowly first. The part chosen by you for practicing speed should not be too easy, and at the same time, not too challenging either. That is why you are using an exercise or an isolated musical passage rather than a song or long solo.

Now that you are geared and all set to start, you have to make sure to use the metronome to know your current speed. The next thing is to take a metronome setting not too far above your current one and make that your goal. There is something, which you should avoid at all costs: muscular stress. To study playing guitar fast, the last thing you need is muscular tensity. In order to escape the possibility of too much tensity you need to forget about time frames - you have your goal in the metronome setting, so leave the time open ended. The whole idea is not to hasten up the process to play the guitar fast, but to reach your goal by taking one step at a time.

So if you choose a passage to practice in order to play quick, and you devote some time every day to practicing, your guitar playing speed will begin to growth. As soon as you find that you have developed the right kind of skills on a particular exercise, select another one, which is a higher level in terms of difficulty. But remember to begin again from the beginning by ascertaining where you are now and then deciding on a realistic goal for your next step.
