Hey patrons!

In today's new video I talk about playing fast and give you some easy(-ish!) ways to do it. We have 10 fast, repeating licks which I find to be really useable across a range of different styles. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqtsXp-El4s&feature=youtu.be

Underneath there's a PDF/Guitar Pro file of the actual licks. I've also transcribed the little solo I played at the start of the video in case you're interested in learning that. And I've put together a couple of quick bass and drums backing tracks that you can use to practice the licks along to. There's a full speed one at 145 bpm and a slower version at 100 bpm. If 16th notes at 145bpm is too quick for you then start with the slower backing track or try cutting the timing of the licks in half so you're playing 8th notes. 

Have a great weekend. Speak next week,

Adrian

Adrian, question on your Mystery Train lesson -- How are you muting the E's on the 6th and 4th strings? Great lesson (as usual), but I'm stuggling with the muting of those stings (muting in general is something of a struggle for me) Thanks.

Hi Douglas! It's all about finding the right position with your picking hand. It takes a bit of practice and experimentation but basically I'm muting with the palm/side of my right hand. It's just resting lightly on the lowest strings all the time. You can add more or less muting to taste or to suit the song. But it really helps with fingerstyle to control the lower strings which can easily get too boomy and overpower the high notes. Good luck with it! Maybe I should do a lesson looking at muting in detail in the future, as it's such an important part of playing which is never really talked about much.
