Onder het motto practice doesn't make perfect, perfect practice does... de 21 day speed method.
-----
The great irony of speed lies in this: The slower your practice, the faster your progress and the greater your potential speed.
Any lick, scale, chord or arpeggio practiced with absolute accuracy (i.e., "perfect") will teach your subconscious, in the shortest possible time, exactly what you want to hear, namely beautifully-crafted fast playing.
On the other hand, practicing with anything less than absolute accuracy teaches your subconscious that you want to hear something entirely different, namely sloppy, uncertain playing.
Try this: Resolve to practice only at a tempo at which you can play with total, drop-dead accuracy for 21 days. This will take tremendous discipline. But at the end of those 21 days I promise you'll play at a speed and with an accuracy that will amaze you.
What you practice in this way for 21 days is entirely your call. But whatever you practice like this will gleam and shimmer like a precious gem at the end of that 21 days. Try it and see. If you do you'll probably never go back to how you're practicing now. I sure didn't.

Gevonden op het ultimate guitar forum. Ik ga het eens proberen en zal mijn ondervindingen hier posten. Misschien leuk als er nog anderen mee willen doen? Ik ga de 2e solo uit Metallica - Fight Fire With Fire doen. 21 dagen lang een half uur per dag, hoewel ik het met 14 denk ik ook wel zal redden aangezien ik die solo al 'kan'.
