Guitar Picking Speed

Unread post by Grandpagotgame » Wed Dec 29, 2004 2:16 pm

How do I get my guitar picking fast enough to play notes on one string like in the Stone and Loving Wings?

start slow until your pick memorizes the string and then build up speed. as spoon said. practice. and as tran. alternate picking...up down up down up down up down like tremolo.

Learn scales and just alternate picking up and down the scales.
