[mrguitarist]

hey guys, im really lost on what i should be practicing. I want to increase my speed and accuracy, sweeping, string skipping, what & how should i practice & should i practice speed with a clean sound or distortion? for sweeping its better to use distortion i guess? to get a clean sound. hope any guitarists here could help me out. Thanks!

i suggest you practice classic guitar 1st.

Practice clean and slow. Progress only when you get a steady uninterrupted sound.

Paul Gilbert can sweep and shred with clean acoustic!

And yes ... another thing ... if you want to play speed .... you should exert LESS pressure on the fretboard. When guitar players speeds up they tend to get tensed up and hence graps the fretboard harder. You dun actually need that much strength sound a note. Lighten your grip and let your fingers be flexible. The RIGHT hand is the one that needs a little more muscles for fast picking.
