Technical mistakes limit your guitar potential, stopping progress towards fast playing. Sloppy hand positions and inefficient movements ruin coordination needed for speedy shredding. ๐ธ
To make smaller fret hand movements, instead of lifting your fingers off the fretboard simply stop squeezing. Your fingers will naturally lift off 0.5"which is much better than 1-2" from lifting off ๐ช

To achieve fast guitar playing with a good rhythm, focus on three things.
1๏ธโฃ Connect firmly to the beat by tapping your foot and feeling the pulse. This is crucial, especially at high speeds.
2๏ธโฃ Develop sharp ears to handle fast melodies. Many players overlook this, but it's vital for timing. Practice with a metronome and play by ear to avoid relying too much on tabs.
