Today’s (Saturday) Small Win
Posted by GuitarGeni on January 22, 2022 at 2:46 pmI managed to make it to 130 bpm on the Alternate Picking Speed Challenge. Previous high was 120. Will try for 135 tomorrow.

That’s great GuitarGeni! 👏 I still play pretty slow. A speed of 130 bpm is pretty good.

Great job @GuitarGeni . That’s the way to practice it. Start at a slower speed, then increase by a small few bpm (say 5) each time. You won’t even notice a difference when using a metronome between the 2 speeds. Then keep increasing the bpm as you accomplish each one.
-
Yeah, I used that feature I told you about on my metronome that increased the speed gradually. Started at 80 and increased to 130 over 5 minutes.

@GuitarGeni , I know you are a 12 string player. Do you do all the challenges on a 12? Good win also. It’s always good to improve speed.

I don’t currently have a 12 string Cadgirl. Haven’t been able to play one since I broke both of my wrists several years ago. For a time I was almost exclusively a 12 string player. That’s why I was thinking about that 9 string.
