Plateau in speed increases @enthdegree - it's a long-term plan, I just have a lot on at the moment, busy work, busy preparing an album et :) |

Plateau in speed increases Ah I can certainly believe that. I have hints of it at least, sometimes I hear or 'feel' just some key parts of a phrase or lick. Often I use legato and I only 'lock in' to the times I pick or change strings. Ill see if I can focus on that :) |

Plateau in speed increases Top advice thanks. I think I'm on the right track in that regard, I manage to get the vibrato, dynamics and some interest into it, despite it being a fairly consistent stream of notes. I'm just frustrated I'm not improving as quickly as I would like :) |

Plateau in speed increases Interesting thanks Stephen, I hadn't appreciated that. So time/days elapsed is an important metric too. Can you tell I'm a programmer? :) |

Plateau in speed increases Thanks for this. I love the idea but I really am goal-driven: I'm recording an album and made up some great sounding parts I want to be able to play at the correct speed to get the right feel. I would have thought that 'quality' hours spent building muscle memory for those things would have the best direct improvement.. after these are up to scratch I would want to diversify, but before then.. do you think it would help nail these parts specifically to play something else? |

Criteria for speeding up when practicing with a metronome Matthew - I pretty sure anyone could play it flawless, but for how long, or how many repetitions? I'd say if you can play it 10 times through, or for 3 minutes, you're on to something good ... ? |

Guitar practice - general techniques Thanks for the answer. In your opinion what's a good warmup - any pattern-based work, chromatic runs, simple stuff etc? |

Guitar practice - general techniques Thanks for the extensive response. I will say that this goes directly against numerous sources (every single one) that I have read about guitar practice. So I am a bit skeptical! I will look into it now.. but in the meantime do you have any sources at all? |
