speed is a side effect of accuracy. when you take things slow, especially with a metronome. and just practice excercises or anything with it, you're technique will get much better, and the speed will develop a long with it. going for pure speed is dumb and pointless. you need to have the control to go along with it. metronome will be your best friend here.


good luck
To improve technique and of course trying to keep all as clean as possible. I know my own limits and speed limits and so on I never play anything I'm not capable of. That wouldn't make any sense. After three years of playing I tried to play everything as fast as possible and that sounded, I would say, like shit, and I didn't realize that if I'd play bit slower things than I was capable of playing then everything would sound much better.
