The biggest question by all beginning guitarist is: playing guitar fast. All young guitarists want to know how, search no longer, here is the answer.

Before I start, let me say this, I just turned 29 years old, and for years I have not only studied guitar, but also personal development. Read about Personal Development on Wikipedia to learn more.

In essence, personal development is the study of goals and achievement. It involved setting goals, creating plans to achieve them and learning to be happy with your accomplishments and keep striving for higher goals.

The same ideas and concepts also work with the guitar. You need to know what you want to achieve, set a goal, make a plan to achieve the goal and then take action to accomplish it.

You have done this even if you don’t know it, even getting up in the morning and brushing your teeth is a goal that you accomplish everyday, without even trying, maybe you even used goals to get that guitar you always dreamed of.

Once you learn how we use this method for playing fast, apply it to all your guitar skills you want to improve, like strumming, scales, etc.

Time to get down to business, let’s set a goal, alright, let’s start playing guitar fast, that’s cool, but we need something we can achieve right now, so let’s choose to work on a standard 3 note patter on 2 strings like the following lick:

———4-5-7————– E

-4-5-7———————- B

Now you need to set the goal, which is to play at 80BPM and when each click hits on your metronome, make sure you are hitting a new string. Play this pattern with this picking: (B)down up down; (E)up down up.

If 80 BMP is too tough, slow it down to where you are comfortable and can do it nice with no mistakes, sounding perfect.

Once you can do it at a slow pace, just keep doing it, until you are totally sick of it, just keep doing it, we are training our muscles the exact motions at a slow vibration level. Once our body adapts to this speed, we can then increase the BPM on our metronome a few clicks, and again do it perfectly for a long time, like 5 minutes. Set your goal to get up to 120BMP. I bet you within a short time, maybe 20-30 minutes you can be there, depending on your skill level.

You can probably shred that lick by now and can impress your friends with your new speed chop, so go find some new riffs and apply your new speed learning method, remember, start slow, stay slow, slowly get faster, set a goal that is just on the edge of impossible and don’t stop playing until you can rock it at the speed you set.

Don’t set goals that are out of reach, we build on success, so choose a completely attainable goal and slowly increase it.

For some challenging goals or super hard riffs, you may have to take breaks for a few minutes, or even work consecutively for days on them to get them fast and clean, just remember to start slow, began where you left off, or slower, and keep going.

By now, you should have a deeper understanding of learning to play guitar fast. Just start slow, and get faster gradually.

As Jim Rohn said, “Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment.
