MIND BLOWING. Damn, I didn't realized until now that my left hand was the problem. I always thought that it was a sync between left and right that was the problem. Thanks man !

Might be fret hand now I think about it. Getting the right duration on the pressing of the string. When I hammer down I can go really fast, but when picking I tend to hold the note to hear it sound out properly. On hammer downs they don't hold, just tap and up. I can't get the kind of hand sync required to strike the string on that brief tap and up motion when moving really fast. I start to hit the string just before the finger gets it to the fret. Or just after it leaves the fret.

play mostly 2 note per string stuff. Gary Gales. Which of your courses would you recommend to cater to this style?

[starbattles]

Picking hand is holding me back. WHen I get too fast i start to lift and start missing strikes on strings at random.

I am playing for hours on a daily basis trying to increase my BPM. I've tried every suggestion. Metronome. Bursts. Yadda yadda. It's been a month. And it has been negligible progress.

It's the left hand ..oops! sorry, wrong video!

[DANTHETUBEMAN]

I was playing fast enough untill I saw your video, , so I guess your hands have set me back. :)

Is it "me" or is it "her"? This requires a YouTube search! Because YouTube is exactly like physical life.
