Only the notes with a ^ should be played with a pick.If you want
to play this lick with pick you can do that too.The best way is to
play this lick both ways that way you build strength in both hands. Thatīs all speed licks for now(what only two licks??!!).In time i will
upload more licks,so donīt forget to come back here.Good luck with your
speed licks.Remember to play them slowly enough to play them without any
mistakes.Practice hard and you will be rewarded.If you want more lessons
and exercises to practice over go back to Guitarpages
