I badly want to be able to play cliffs of dover, but I have no idea how to tackle it in a meaningful way. I can play it very slowly, but am a complete mess when I try it do it anywhere near its true speed.
Do I just play it at the speed I can correctly, and slowly increase the metronome speed over the course of months? This seems to me insufficient, because I think I need to change the way I pick in order to play so quickly and accurately. It feels like there is a threshold (for me at least) between playing quickly and playing blazingly fast. I cannot surpass my top speed - which isn’t that fast - without completely losing all elements of good guitar playing.
I read about blasters, where you try and increase your top speed, by playing 1-2-3-4 during a spider exercise as fast as you can, and work on syncing your left hand. I have gotten better at that, but it hasn’t applied to anything else.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
