Happy to be here, its time to up my game

Hi, I am Chris from Newcastle Upon Tyne in England. I have been playing guitar for about 6 years now and speed has always been my nemesis.

I watched a few of Troy’s videos and went off down a rabbit hole of trying to increase my speed and accuracy and just haven’t seen the improvements I had hoped for so here I am.

I hope I can get some good guidance here about the correct picking technique for me and hopefully one day be able to play those fast licks that are a dream right now.

Hi Chris have you tried one single pick slant, with a pull off?

It’s hard to control the timing of this but it does allow you to speed up a lot.

The great thing about learning this is it allows you to spread the work between the two hands, so half is picking and other is pull offs and hammers. You can double your speed with half the effort.
