how to play fast like on guitar?

Answer 1

you have to learn economi picking and find a good connection between your right and left hand and just practice and practice.

Answer 2

Assuming that you know your scales backward and forward and your guitar's setup is good, the keys are good hand posture, relaxation, efficiency of movement, and good picking skills..

Your grip is between your fingers and your thumb. When your hand is in the correct posture, there is almost no tension in the big muscle at the base of your thumb and only a minuscule amount of effort is required to fret a string with any of your four fingers. When it almost feels like your just moving your fingers through the air, you've got it.

All this is for naught if you can't pick the string when you hit it--unless, of course you're doing a hammer-on of a pull-off. This is largely a matter of practice, of course, but again, to main obstacle to rapid motion is excessive tension. As you practice, try to do so with minimal effort. Your choice of a pick is also a factor, and the search for the perfect pick never really ends. Right now, I'm using Dulop Stubby's, but many players favor very thin picks--like a fender thin.

Keep plugging. The more you practice, the easier it gets, and the easier it gets, the faster you go. One more note: you always pick better when you're grinning from ear to ear.

Answer 3

Practice. Your muscles need to move almost independently of your brain, if you have to think about it you'll not be fast enough.

You need to practice simple things lots (and I mean hundreds) of times very very gradually speeding up. Try playing with a metronome at half the normal speed, play it 4 or 5 times, then increase the speed on the metronome by 2 bpm, then play it 4 or 5 more times and so on.

When you can play simple things fast you can develop your technique so it will take less time to learn more complex things fast. Famous musicians practice many hours a day (Charlie Parker reputedly did 15 hours a day) - and some will spend at least 30% of their time just on technique.

Answer 4

Practice strumming everyday for at least 20 minutes. Including chord changes. This will make you a better player.

Answer 5

u can't play fast until you can play slow
so just keep practicing

( I know that is the most boring answer but it is true) LOL

Answer 6

learn to play slow first, speed will come naturally as you learn and practise. Playing fast with fluidity comes by muscle memory, which can only be achived though lots and lots of practise.

Answer 7

Drink a bunch of coffee with triple sugar and listen to some Yngwie Malmsteen.

Answer 8

i'll tell you like my guitar instructor tells me.
Practice, practice, practice.

Answer 9

practice, practice, practice. learn to flatpick (finger play). practice makes perfect!
