After completing level one a while back I’ve played with easy songs to keep interest while working on chords. That chapter slammed me.

3 we ago I decided to take a challenge and learn the intro to Sweet Home Alabama. To my surprise I succeeded. Expect I can’t get past 83 bpm. The song is 98 bpm.

then I remembers the workout. I kept up with level 2 until about 90 bpm. Go figure the numbers nearly match!

this time I need to complete it. It has been very helpful.

The Speed and Agility Fretboard workout will definately help.  I suggest you run through the exercises at slightly slower than you can cleanly and accuately play, then build up by smaller increments. A couple of times a day over a few weeks should do it.  You dont need to run the video each time..  just use a metronome at your speed. 

(I use the SA exercises for warm up before every practice session.)

Thanks Neil. Actually that is how I done it going through level one. 

Going back through the video last night, I was amazed with the difference from last time. I hadn’t realized it until I went through it.
