Increasing Speed and Accuracy
I just recently learned how to play the guitar, but I want to know how to play it fast. A friend recommended alternate picking. I didn’t know what that was, so I had him explain it to me. He said to play the guitar, a person picks the string in an upward fashion for an upstroke, and a downward fashion for a downstroke. Alternate picking is alternating the up and down strokes. I thought it sounded easy enough. I gave it a try, but instead of striking one string, a struck a number of them. My friend said to keep practicing, and I’ll become an efficient alternate picker.
