Guitar Speed Picking - Proper Right Hand Technique Makes You Shred Guitar

Guitar speed picking when done properly should sound clear and blistering fast. The only buzzing or muting of notes should be intentional palm muting or buzzing distortion from your effects loop. There should never be any squeaking notes or fret buzzing from poor technique - and yet I'm sure you hear it all the time in your play. Why do you suppose that is?

If you're like me you spent many hours, weeks, and years learning to play guitar and improve your playing style, however perhaps you've reached a plateau or despite many hours of practice you simply can't play faster without compromising note quality. I'm sure you've worked on a million dexterity exercises for your left hand on the neck of the guitar and now you just go through the motions without improvement.

Have you ever considered that perhaps your left hand isn't the problem? Shredding style guitar speed picking involves exacting technique and coordination from both hands, and if your right hand technique is inefficient you're missing out on reaching your maximum potential.
