Playing Regression

[Lord Lemons]

Ugh, this is the second time this has happened. I devote a day to sweeping, and my economy picking skills go to shit. I was able to pull off 16th notes at 170 yesterday, now I'm at 120. Why does this happen? Is this normal for anybody else?

This is horrible. Even when I move the tempo lower, I still can't play accurately. I don't get this. I don't get this at all.

How Stella got her groove back- practice all day.


Note to self. Every hours of Sweep Practice, take a 15 minute alt picking break.

Don't practice everyday. Do 1 day breaks when it feels necessary. What I do is in my schedule I try to maintain train-train-break-train-break-(...) sequence in days. I also find that training any 1 thing for more than 3 hours doesn't give great results anymore.

Yeah, I've been practicing both picking and sweeping simutainiously. It's working, and I've progressed even further. Taking naps seems to help too.

My teacher proposed me this way of training major scales: he tought me C major in 5 types (these are positions, depending on which string You pick C note on), and then told me to play all the scales up to next C by going up a perfect fourth (5 half tones) until I get to the next C type (each time You play another C scale You're up 2 frets), then move ahead until how many frets You have... I have 24. I don't know if it's perfect, but if You're interested I can tab You those types and post further instructions.
