Guitar speed - how to get it.metronomes and drum machines...Guitar speed training... Ever wonder how the guitar greats developed such amazing speed? M etronomes can make allot of people go into a deep sleep in no time at all. Myself included.Guitar speed training depends on them. What's the solution to the monotony? If you want to play fast guitar and learn to shred it takes consistent practice. Falling asleep is not going to make it. It really helps to get enough sleep and keep yourself in excellent physical shape. Learning guitar takes energy and concentration. Take care of yourself! If used correctly a metronome is a key tool to building blinding speed. A metronome is a essential little tool used by musicians for more years than I know about. The problem is with them is the monotonous tick tick tick can get old very fast and one thing your practice sessions don't need to be are boring. 
Now I am not saying metronomes don't have their place, they do. Many of the well known guitar greats have sharpened their skills to a amazing level with just such a machine, and they are a time tested way to drill for extreme speed.I find that a metronome is the best way to get a lick, scale, arpeggio or chord change happening smoothly. Gaining speed by starting slowly and building up to certain level with beats in between beats. When I feel my speed is up to where it should be, then moving onto the drum machine. A great way to get the feel for putting it into a performance. If you can make your practice more exciting why not? That's what a drum machine can do for you. The right drum machine can change that boredom into a "Where in the world did the last two hours go?", jam session. Recommended metronomes
