i play lead guitar at church and i need more speed

Practice using a metronome, increase the tempo by increments of 8 each time.

also can some one give some tips on playing and singing at the same same

Start out simple, Purple Haze by Jimi Hendrix is fairly simple to play and sing at the same time. Infact, it's the only song I can do that with. :o

You're in a playful mood lately.

Yup, "Rock Discipline with John Petrucci." John shows you how to maintain a positive relationship with your pet rock without letting it run wild.

I learn the guitar part, to a point where I don't have to think about it. Then I start singing over it.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. First of all lead at Church?!?!? And second oif all needing more speed to play a lead at church?!?!?!??!?!?! I have got to get to this Church.


Rck Discipline rules but speed lead for electric guitar by troy stetins is better

OH and increments of eight with a mtronome is waaaayyy to much- more like two, if its practice for technical ability

I play rhythm guitar at church myself with my Peavey Horizon II and Boss GT-8. I've been wanting to start playing lead on a lot of the songs. I bought a guitar scales program, but man, learning scales is a boring thing! :o

Singing and playing at the same time just comes down to memorizing how to play it so you can be free to sing it. I used to play bass guitar in church years ago, and it's kinda difficult to sing and play bass at the same time (it was difficult for me anyways). I just memorized playing the song so I didn't have to think about it.

If anyone has any helpful suggestions for learning lead the 'quick and easy' way, I'm all ears for it! :D

Just practice scales and singing while playing, you'll eventually get the hang of it, and dude, TAKE ME TO YOUR CHURCH!!!!!!!
