@@guitargpsmethod Here's an idea no one has covered? (to the best of my knowledge) It's all well and good learning a solo or 'licks' but how does one develop the feel, phrasing,or "Swagger" while joining those licks? I know I don't practise licks to a drum machine for instance.This possibly means I don't know where the accents lie within the lick?(If this makes sense)
The basics for speeding up is good technique, and playing with a metronome. A metronome trains your ability to HEAR and FEEL faster. So without more context one what you're working on. - Can you play with a metronome? if so, find your base speed and go up from there. There are more strategies but this is where it begins
Hmm, hard to say exactly without seeing your hand. I do have a few other videos on technique... Is it impeding your playing or just an annoyance at this point? if just an annoyance sometimes players hands just need to develop from playing more guitar (yes provided your technique isn't all jacked up). Watch your thumb position on back on neck, curvature of wrist (keep it straight) play on finger tips. Playing on frets 1-4 are the hardest due to frets being wider and its farthest from your body. Also, sometimes its NOT a technique problem or an issue where you need more practice but rather you have too much tension. Squeezing too hard, tension in shoulders, back, neck etc that manifest in the hand.
@@guitargpsmethod I can do 3 finger chords fine, but 4 is going to be impeded. When bending, it turns 3 and 4 into a clamp if that makes sense. I can't seem to get them more than half a fret apart, and its like they want to spring together.
My pinky basically tries to tuck "behind or over" and follow the ring finger constantly. I do exercises with placing fingers on frets 5 thru 8, and move each individual. When I move the ring finger, the pinky will not stay in a bent shape.

Not only it's a great excercise, you also get a bonus song that you'll learn along with excercising.
Thanks!
Simple but effective. Thank you :)
Being a beginner and my ring finger being the weakest, this killed me lol. It pays off in the end tho. Thank you!
No prob! You may want to check out the beginner playlist i have as well.
How long, like how many days did you have to repeat to notice the difference?
@@lospopularos assuming you are doing it correctly, playing from memory, earliest would be after a few days.
This a really good exercice thanks a lot!
You're welcome, glad you like it!
Fantastic lesson! The ring finger is the weakest finger. The Thumb being the strongest. This is a great exercise.
Let me know if there's other things you need help with. Happy to make a video

@@bryanwilliams3665 Yes i follow you. There's a lot of skills and knowledge that must be developed for this. I'll put this topic on my list!
Great explanations. Thank you!
You're welcome!
Im already 55 yo, long time playing guitar but, slow to learn fast, getting old i think impact the speed, any advice?

How do you get your pinky to stop crowding finger 3?
To clarify, 4-pinky has a terrible curve towards 3. When held straight, 4 stays that way. When folded, it wants to press into 3.

@@thomasaitken7495 do this exercise 5-10 min per day ruclips.net/video/KsZlElOX96U/видео.html
Enjoyed the lesson but when you demonstrate at 6.15 your fretting hand is out of shot.
