Members Geeter Posted March 15, 2009 Members Share Posted March 15, 2009 Let's just say that speed and I should never be mentioned in the same sentence unless preceded by the phrase "startling lack of" or some similar qualifier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jkater Posted March 15, 2009 Members Share Posted March 15, 2009 As I tried to say initially there is a speed that is needed to play a particular piece and then there is pure speed. I wanted to put up a poll to have some kind of guage but I messed up . I've heard Jkater play and I cannot do that . I'm not that fast. I can maybe do 8th notes at 200 for a short period, 180 sustain. There is a speed that is needed for any piece and being slower does restrict what you can play. I'm working on pressing the limits of what I can play and how I can improve. I'm not trying to set any records just trying to guage what I need to target long term in order to be able to play a lot of things but not necessarily everything Thanks nuke! That's the nice thing with fingerpicking, it's very economical (and easier) as far as speed goes. Now, with a pick... I am average at best but, because of the styles I play, my less-than-impressive flatpicking speed is often enough. I wish I could play faster when needed, of course, but it's a skill I have yet to develop. It will probably get better with time because I play more often with a pick now than ever in my life.

Members dimibetan Posted March 15, 2009 Members Share Posted March 15, 2009 Im so fast, I can run around the world and punch myself in the back of my head... Oh... or was it Chuck Norris... Chuck Norris Facts Really funny stuff. Old, but still makes me laugh. Sorry for the off topic answer. I really dont care how fast or slow a musician plays. I just want to hear how GREAT he/she plays.
