When practicing with our App, using Guitar Pro, or just running through your daily exercises, use a dry clean tone, and start off slow enough so each note rings out the same in timbre. This way, as you begin to speed up or use effects like reverb, delay, or distortion, you are continually starting from a solid foundation.

This is very handy to use along with our App! https://accelonome.com/?startTempo=80&endTempo=130&jumpTempo=10&tempoChangeAfterX=8&tempoChangeTrigger=bar&beats=4&note=4&tickSound=metronome_1&shouldAccelerate=on&startCueEnabled=on&accentedBeats=1

Hey guys, last week I posted my two secrets to speed video lessons. A big part of them is the idea of practicing with a metronome and tracking your progress. I've always done this by writing tabs in a notebook, loading a metronome app, and then writing down what speed I'm at as I progress. Well, for a long time I've thought that would be much better in an app. Then, Gary lit a fire under my butt when he suggested that needed to be the case too... So, https://www.guitarlicklab.com is exactly that. All you need is your email and the code: GDGA2026 to sign up. As a GDGA member you have access to all the lessons as we add them. There's just a few now (including the secrets to speed ones), but the teaching team here will be adding many more over the next month. For now, this is a web app, but we will be making a downloadable mobile app for it as well. We want to have people using it for awhile and testing it out before we got to that stage. So, enjoy the app and let us know if anything needs tweaking. Happy practicing!
