Playing Fast

Most guitar players don't know how to play fast, and thats ok. You don't need to shred to be an awesome guitarrist.

The problem arises when someone who sucks at playing fast tries to play fast,  just randomly hitting the string with the picking hand and hovering over the fretboard with the other one with no coordination whatsoever between the two.

We all know someone who does this, or maybe you do, which means you need to STOP DOING THAT.
Really, it's irritating.

If you happen to be one of those, the first thing to do is to realize that you suck at playing fast and are completely incapable at play that kind of stuff...for now.

It's tough pill to swallow...

See, the brain it's like a recorder. The motor patterns get engraved. That means the more you play sloppy the better you are going get at playing sloppy. And it works the other way around too. That means that if you play slowly but perfectly something 10,000 times, you can bet you'll be able to play it fast.

So ask yourself, ¿Am I really playing this?
