SPEED Exercises To Play Guitar Faster

almost all da beginners in IGT
ask da same question
" how do i play faster"
4 them i'm gonna post an excersise every week (plenty of time 2 practice)
this is even 4 ppl hu dont hav anysong 2 learn , do these excercises and u'll hav 1!! and want 2 improve gr8tly in a short period of time !

ps: all of them r not copied from any site ( HOPEFULLY !)
their mosty from rare videos,friends , sum even made up by myself

so here's da 1st 1 :
E--1--3-----2--4-----3--5-----4--6-----5--7-----6--8-----8--10------9--11-------------
B-------2--4-----3--5-----4--6-----5--7-----6--8-----7--9-------9--11------10--12-----
G---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Same exercise, but backwards (harder):


E---------11--9------10--8------9--7------8--6-----7--5-----6--4-----5--3-----4--2-------
B--12--10-----11---9------10--8----9--11-----8--6-----7--5-----6--4-----5--3-----3--1-

to improve gr8ly use a metronome
start slowly then go fast as u get better

I played your exercise and I became extremely fast. Now I can play Michael Angelo or Malmsteen even in my sleep. I can even play at 300bpm. But now the problem is I am not able to play slow. Can you give me some exercise, so that I can play slow

 

@ronnie ROTFL

 

ahem.
Ronnie playing Michael Angelo.... :shock:
