Guitar Tips with Tariq Harb - Play Fast While Maintaining Good Tone (Part 1)

Guitarist Tariq Harb shares a quick tip on how to develop a solid foundation to playing fast while maintaining good tone. Implementing a simple awareness exercise in Part 1 of this series of videos, I demonstrate how to properly alternate between the index and middle fingers in the right-hand (left-hand if you are a left-handed guitarist) to develop a technique that is reliable, easy, yet powerful at the same time.
This topic will have at least two more parts to it which I will be sharing soon!

I'll also be sharing more exercises like this one here on my channel every now and then. If you find this helpful to your playing subscribe so you can get more tips like this in the future!
Also - what topics would you like to see covered in these mini tutorials? Share your thoughts in the comments below and I'll consider them for future videos!

Please enjoy, and have a great day!

It's the best tip I ve had by far!!
Today I played with M and A as a "block" moving together
I played the Mariposa by Antonio Jimenez Manjon
It was more easy!!
Could you give your interpretation of this song please?
Thank you

Thank you mister Harb for all the work you put out. I see you don’t strictly alternate but sometimes slide i when descending? I can’t get my speggio pim and pimami up to speed. A series on that would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, waiting for part 2, from my experience the problem is the right hand developing faster than left hand 🤚so I am forced to play as fast as my left hand speed, is that a general issue face all guitarist ?
