Yeah, there is definately a limit.Misirlou is actually a good example of a good fast song (even thought it would be slow for shredder standards)
Yeah, the key is to not get caught up in the technique. Playing fast is only useful as a device to communicate to your audience. It is helpful and it ...
If you can ONLY play leads and not rhythm..i can bet your lead playing may suck as well. I'm not sure that BB King (nor anyone who's seen him play) wo...
