How To Play Guitar Fast Like A Pro & Get Speed Like You Never Dreamed Of

Does it sound sloppy and inconsistent when you play guitar with fast speed?

For instance:

You start playing a cool lick and everything is going fine until you reach a certain tempo – then everything breaks down.

Very frustrating!

Doesn’t seem like the pros play guitar fast with little or no effort on stage? There’s a reason for this:

Pro guitar players are able to play at fast speeds not just through their skills, but the mindset they use (which sets them apart from everyone else).

Find out how to get the pro mindset and play with guitar speed like you never dreamed of using these simple concepts:

Make Your Guitar Playing Goals Bigger To Achieve Bigger Things

No successful pro guitar player gained their incredible skills by setting tiny goals.

In fact:

Pro guitarists on average set bigger goals than other guitar players.

Instead of simply hoping to “get better”, they choose to get better, make playing guitar their career, play in front of a full house or stadium, put out records, and so forth.

Think of precisely what your guitar playing goals are. Sit down and write them down or put them into your computer.

Then, look at each goal and think of how you can make it BIGGER.

For example:

Original Goal: play guitar solos creatively at fast speeds

·         Play fast guitar solos where every single note expresses the precise idea in your head of what you want to say.

·         Play fast guitar solos off the top of your head that make your friends’ jaws drop.

·         Write amazing guitar solos and perform them in front of a crowd.

These are just a few examples. Examine each of your musical goals on your own and see how much bigger you can make them on your own

Even if you don’t reach the big goals you set, achieving part of a big goal gets your further than all of a small goal.

Make Performing Skills A Priority To Skyrocket Your Guitar Speed

Performance is a key skill that pros are great at and amateurs generally aren’t.

Performing is harder than playing guitar casually at home because it requires playing under social pressure and other factors that don’t normally come into play when you are by yourself jamming.

Make it a point to practice performance by doing things such as:

·         Walking around while playing

·         Making emotive gestures while playing

·         Playing under unusual live conditions such as without being able to see your hands or hear what you’re playing

Make this a part of your regular guitar practice schedule.

This helps you perform without mistakes in front of others so playing live feels easy and effortless.

Practice Guitar At Least A Little Bit Each Day

Keep developing your guitar skills every day even if it’s just a little bit

This way, you never get frustrated when you don’t seem to be playing up to the level you feel you’re at.

Even pros who seem to be the best players in the world practice at least a little each day.

Even if you only have a little bit of time to practice, you still have the potential to make massive progress. This is because you get results from the quality of your practice, not the quantity.

Here are some things to consider when you get into the habit of practicing guitar every day:

1.   Leave your guitars out in the open where you can quickly pick them up and play.

This makes it more likely that you will play every day compared to keeping them stored away.

2.   Put together a guitar practice schedule in advance that helps you reach your goals as efficiently as possible.

When you have limited time to practice, work on the things that help you improve as many skills as possible at once.
