A lot of beginner guitar players write to me and ask advice to play the guitar 'fast'. I inevitably write again to ask if you play guitar, and I just want to be faster on the fretboard, or whether they are beginners who want a shortcut to knowledge base.

This me wondered whether there might be a connection between the two. It seemed preposterous, but the more I thought about it, the more I saw parallels between these two levels apparently different training.

Therefore, I will go out a limb here and say that:

1. You can learn guitar faster by study of the techniques involved making your overall playing ability 'faster', and ..

2. You can become a "fast" guitar to reorient their practice sessions on basic concepts and techniques taught to all beginners.

The reasons for this overlap and may summarized as a useful acronym: MOST – or, "Memorization, Observation and strength training." We will cover each of them to make the point.

Memorization

One of the things that slows down the beginning and intermediate guitar players, no matter how good of a "hearing" of music they have is a failure to memorize:

1. All notes on the fingerboard

2. Chords and scales for the Major and Minor Keys

Whether you are starting out, or that a few year's playing experience already. The fact is that 'pecking' for the right chord or note slower.

You do not have time in the middle of a song to stop what we can tell if a work Dbminor chord in the key of B, and then see if that chord is relative to your position current on the fingerboard.

If you are a beginner, then memorizing your fretboard is the place to start. This will make it easier to memorize chords and scale patterns and to understand the relationship between them in music theory.

If you're already playing, then you should focus on strengthening their knowledge in both areas. You probably have a good part of his memory and pitch, but you can go to any note or chord automatically?

Comment

Your senses of touch, sight and sound are all involved in the guitar. As you play, you, without certainly feel the development of muscle memory, like fingers playing over the familiar chords and scales. You can see patterns and relationships on the fretboard. You hear what you're playing and get to connect with all of the above.

Memorization is the basis for observation and the observation is the Key to the formation of his mind and hands to work together automatically.

If you want the ability to play anything you hear 'in the head "when the fingers reach the frets, then you should marry memorization with the observation when the practice.

Strength Training

No, I'm not suggesting that you lift weights at the gym! Strength training, which actually includes skill training, is an integral part of everything we've covered so far.

Beginning guitarists often struggle to hold down chords and scales to play with four fingers. This is simply a question of building strength, muscle memory and skill through constant practice and correct.

Intermediate players who want to go faster on the fingerboard must realize that the most likely cause (s) behind the problems with the 'speed' will be a deficiency in strength, dexterity, correct techqnie or all three.

Beginners should focus on training exercises and force conducting exercises perfectly. If they give you an exercise that requires you to hit a particular note with your pinky, but you decide to cheat "by using your ring finger, know that your game is going to hit a wall on the line.

Similarly, players who can not seem to exceed the current speed of the guitar must examine his own technique. Have you stopped working in training of force, because the exercises are boring? It is his technique of "sloppy"?

Some things you just can not get away with 160 beats per minute, the way you can to 120 beats per minute.

In conclusion, the key to learning guitar faster – as well as playing more Quick – is based on monitoring the MOST formula. It really is all about getting the basics right from the start!
