Slow picking your way to a more accurate right hand
Hey fellow acoustic lovers,
If you finger style, if you flatpick and even if you just play rhythm, you must know how important it is to play slow with a metronome and develop muscle memory that is steady and ready to move up to a faster tempo. Now I must point out that in my 24 years of being a professional musician, that playing fast is definitely over rated, but is nice to have it in the gun belt when you need it.
Just a note of thought.
