You’re not alone. Most metal guitarists hit a wall where no matter how much they practice, their speed just won’t budge.

 

You try playing faster, but your hands tense up.

 

You slow it down, hoping it will "click" eventually but it never quite does.

 

That frustration? It’s real. And it’s exactly why I created this guide.

​

Guitar Speed Strategies for Alternate Picking is a free e-book designed specifically for metal guitarists who want to unlock new levels of speed, precision, and control in their playing.

 

If you've been stuck at the same tempo for months, or even years, this ebook guide will show you exactly how to break through.

​

​

Inside, you’ll discover:

• Why traditional speed-building methods fail most guitarists and what to do instead

• The #1 mindset shift you need to finally break through your speed plateau

• The Progressive Overload Method and how to use it properly without getting stuck

• Why playing slow doesn’t prepare you for playing fast (and what does)

• How to unlock your maximum picking speed using tremolo drills

• The secret to syncing your hands at high tempos without falling apart

• Why tension kills speed and how to train your hands to stay relaxed

• How to use Burst Practicing to build accuracy and explosive technique recall

• Why looping short phrases is the key to consistency and flow

• What your “edge speed” is and how to train it for rapid results

• How to push past frustration, sloppy playing, and mental roadblocks

• The real reason your picking progress disappears overnight and how to stop it

These are the same principles I’ve used in my own playing after years of battling inconsistent technique and stalled progress. Whether you’re trying to nail clean 16th notes at 140+ bpm or just want your picking to feel more fluid and effortless, this guide will give you the tools to make it happen with clear, actionable strategies that work.
