Everyone wants to learn how to play faster, right? You see your guitar heroes ripping off fast lines and playing all over the fingerboard and you're inspired to pick up your guitar and play!
Then you come to a realization - it doesn't quite sound the same. Why? Because you need to develop your technique, and technique is developed through control.
Yes, control.
Without "control" all the speed in the world will do you no good.
So, in the Speed Guitar Techniques Course, you are taught how to focus all of your attention on speed and control.
Below are two sample videos from the course that explain how to create patterns with wide interval leaps by skipping strings.
This creates a wild effect that is unexpected to the listener and sounds as if your fingers are doing back flips on the fingerboard!
The first way to achieve string skips in an orderly fashion is to play octaves. If you play a pattern and displace each note with it's octave either higher or lower, you will create a dizzying effect.
Exercise 1 demonstrates an octave displacement pattern that will wow your friends! Be sure to alternate your picking strokes and lay your 1st finger across the skipped string to dampen unwanted vibration.
