Hello everybody,
I think I will make a new thread for my 3nps-problems, hope thats okay…
After working about 4 month on my right hand speed I can play sextuplets at 140 bpm in a chromatic way like this:
e -------------------------------8-9-10---------
b --------------------8-9-10--------------------
g ----------7-8-9--------------------------------
d --7-8-9----------------------------------------
The goal should be to play this sextuplet at 120 bpm effortless:
e -------------------------------------8-10-11---------
b -------------------------8-10-11---------------------
g -------------7-8-10----------------------------------
d --7-8-10---------------------------------------------
My problem is to connect the two different shapes together.
Sometimes it works well but most of the time i make some mistakes.
In a live situation I should be able to play this effortles and without thinking about.
Please consider, that these lines are only an extract of a melody. I made this simplification only, because I thout itis much easier to break it down in a simple form, where I can learn the technic.
Troy and his team suggest not to start playing slow but rather playing in a medium tempo and increase it to the maximum…
Maybe it needs the same time to bring the muscles to do this in the speed I want ?
… and yes, I am a little disappointed, but not because the “cracking the code”, because of my sluggishness …
My question: How should I practise to put these simple forms together ?
Note: Some guitarists I´ve seen on Youtube say, that here right hand is limited and they will prefer more the legato way of playing. (I heard Steve Vail saying this and Tom Quayle for example which plays often with Martin Miller)
Maybe my physical constitution don´t allow me to play fast in this way ?
I know, stupid thing to say this, but maybe thats the reason …
Do you have an suggestion how my daily working plan should looke like ?
Maybe it helps to send a video ?
Thanks in advance,
Chris
