I agree with Cornetguy. If you want to play fast you need to practice slow. Painfully slow. Strive to make you lines precise, accurate and smooth. Only when this is achieved should you work on gradully increasing the speed. but never sacrifice speed for accuracy. If you put speed first you end up sounding sloppy and out of control. Often when we heard the greats play they sound so smooth and confortable when they are playing fast that when you try to play the same thing back you then realized that they were playing even faster than you imagined.
