Hey guys lately I’ve been frustrated with my speed progression on the main intro lead lick that spans for the first minute, (you know it). Anyways I’ve been working on this riff since December 20th so three months now. I’m using the app called “Amazing Slow Downer” where you can slow down songs and stuff to practice it. I’ve been working my way up and for the first while or so I progressed really fast going from 25 percent speed to about 80 speed playing it accurately with correct technique, I’m using economy picking and I’m even trying incorporate pick slanting into my approach as well but for about six weeks I’ve been stuck in the range of 85-90 percent speed. I just don’t understand why I’ve stopped progressing all of a sudden. I’m playing it accurately and in time and correct technique as far as I’m aware but I just can’t get it any faster. I’ve been playing guitar for a year and three months I should really be able to play this by now. On school nights unfortunately I only get to spend about an hour and a half at most on this riff because I wanna be like Syn so I also work on writing and stuff too, and technique but not too much technique I guess. I practice as much as I can but I feel like I’ve been stuck in a rut for a bit especially with this, if anyone has advice or a similar experience I’d appreciate it. Also does anyone know what Syn did to develop his skills or speed I guess? – Keep Shreddin’
