| Re: Help me play fast
Crow, I hate to be the one to give you the bad news, but yeah, you are too old for your brain to command your fingers. The good news is we all are "too old!" Even with a slow tempo like mm80, playing 16ths, if it were done on a typewriter, would be a respectable 65 words per minute. It is only through repetition that we can ever play faster than we can read. In time, our brain will start seeing patterns instead of individual notes, and we can move beyond the cognitive to reflex when playing. Perfection comes from perfect practice, so keep the tempos slow, keep plugging away, and wait for the miracle to happen.
Have fun!
