Get Fast And Easy Guitar Picking Technique:
Did you know that picking with alternate picking all the time isn’t the best way to play as fast and effortless as the pros?
The secret to playing with smooth and fast speed while soloing is to pick more efficiently.

Make One Small Change With Your Thumb To Play Guitar Faster & More Effortlessly
You probably don’t think about this too much, but the way you position your thumb on the neck of the guitar has a massive impact on how you play.
How so?
It either enables or prevents you from playing large stretches of 4 or more frets on the fretboard with little effort. This affects how well you are able to play these types of patterns with speed.
It also makes playing guitar feel easy or feel difficult depending on your posture.
In general, your fretting hand thumb should be at or below the middle of the back of the neck. The lower you go, the easier it becomes to stretch across the frets with your fingers. Only use your thumb around the top (or over) of the neck for applying bends and vibrato.
