hi..i've been playing guitar over a year. now i'm thinking to proceed to new level, solos and speed development. but i faced a lot of difficulties in developing speed and articulation. i have several questions here.
1. Does it really need talent to play well? is it in your blood? i mean, can anybody be a good guitar player, or only talented individual can? well, maybe i should give up if i'm not talented..haha

2. How can i develop speed? my major problem is picking (i think).. how can i improve?

Hope someone reply this.. tq  default/smile

Hello there, I'm definitely no expert and I lack a lot of technique and speed and development - no one is perfect, BUT - there is something that you should know and apply if you really want to improve your skills.

Try this.
"If you are doing something and it doesn't work as it should - you are doing it wrong - retry" http://nicolaedabija.com/mycookie/36/1235242282/icon_biggrin.gif

This is the attitude and the commitment that you have to have in your life if you want to achieve good results. Never give up, keep on practicing. Talent is just a 0,01% bonus the rest 9,99% is hard work.

Cheers mate!

I have also been advised to start with learning the acoustic. The classical traditional viewpoint of playing guitar of most people. http://nicolaedabija.com/mycookie/36/1235242282/icon_biggrin.gif

What can I say - I'm no expert but it seems that after a few months of intense practice you start to understand why they insist that you first learn acoustic guitar and the electric one.

Hello there,

May I welcome you? How dare I - I'm newer then you are here probably. So i'll just (only dare) try to introduce myself.

Sorry I'm too shy to compose a new thread just for me default/big_smile

My name is Rogger and I really like playing guitar. I'm just beginning and have been playing for some time, but today I decided that it's time to start doing things more serious and while navigating through the internet from link to link (from flower to flower) I found your forum. I registered. A lot of awesome and interesting (and useful - the most important).

Thanks for existing guys default/smile
