The most important thing though is that you are practising to a metronome. That is fantastic to hear because a guitar player playing fast but out of time, is about as unmusical as they come.

As for your technique, I would second the suggestion of getting a good private instructor. Only one on one can bad habits, should they exist, be rectified.

if you cant get a private instructor, watching some videos will help to.. :wink:
