Going from 180 to 140: just change the licks?
Posted: Sun Aug 29, 2010 4:49 pm
Right, so I'm kinda frustrated because all of the exercises I've worked to hard on seem to fail. It's sloppy, even on slow speeds. I used to be able to do 180 (16th), now I'm having trouble with 140. I've come up with one solution (the most simple one I guess), which would be putting the metronome on 120 ( ) and starting again at the level I was two years ago and hoping it will go faster this time.
However, keen as I was and am to embrace any alternative to that horrid image, I searched on google and read an article of some guy (don't remember his name), who said changing the licks is the answer. All the technical benefits of the old ones are already used, that kind of stuff. I guess I do kinda practise the same old licks for technical purposes.
So, which one would you recommend (or perhaps neither)? And if it's the second one, does anyone know a good lick/exercise library?
