If you’ve been playing the guitar for awhile and can’t seem to get anymore speed on your licks, don’t worry because this happens to almost every guitarist. Some guitarists just have more time than others to hash out these skills while you’re left there wishing you could play faster.

As much as it might seem very difficult playing fast guitar, you can do it too by practicing hard and smart. Here are some very important tips to get your fingers moving faster the next time you’re scaling the guitar neck.

1. Strengthen your forearms. A lot of the muscles that power your guitar-playing comes from your fingers, but the rest comes from your forearms. Do a few exercises or start lifting to really get those muscles shaped for faster riffs.

2. Do other finger-intensive exercises. Playing fast guitar might be in your mind when the instrument is in your hand, but there are plenty of other things that can improve your finger movement throughout the day. Take up some other skills that involve intensive finger movement like typing or playing the piano in order to keep your fingers working hard.

3. Practice online typing tests. Sure you can test your speed on the guitar with a metronome, but have you ever thought about taking it to the internet? Hype up your typing skills and start using typing tests to measure the speed of your fingers because god knows how often we’re all on the computer these days!

4. Try to keep from cracking your knuckles. Cracking your knuckles can lead to medical problems in your hands and wrists once you get into your twilight years. Try to stop it if you want your hands to stay flexible and healthy for optimum playing speed.

5. Practice electric parts on the acoustic guitar. Maybe you have a couple riffs that you’re playing somewhat fast on the guitar. Transfer them over to the acoustic and try your hand. Your muscles will learn to adapt to the harsher conditions of the acoustic while the speed of playing on the electric guitar will slowly begin to increase.

6. Set reasonable speed goals. You can’t expect to reach goals that sound absolutely crazy and that’s most of the reason guitarists give up on themselves. Set goals that are challenging, but possible to ensure you stay on track with your skills.

It’s a hard business to start playing faster guitar riffs, but it can be accomplished by dedicating yourself to every practice and being consistent with your strategies. Put these 6 tips to the test and see if you can start increasing your guitar speed.

If you are looking for free piano scores, then the internet is the right place to look for it. This article will provide tips on where you can find piano scores for free. Read on!

Before we go into details, let us first define what a piano sheet is. A piano sheet is a musical score with notes and measures indicating how the song should be played. These piano sheets can be found online and can be easily printed. Some are free, while some comes with a price. Others require you to avail a subscription or create a free account with them in order for you to be given access to their piano score sheets.

Searching for a free piano musical score requires a bit or browsing online. Sometimes, it may require you to go through a lot of result pages before you can come across what you have been looking for.

You can type the word “free music scores” or “free music sheets” in the search engine to look for it. You can also include the file formats that you need, which may come in PDF or GIF file formats. If you prefer printable or downloadable files, you may include these words as well to narrow down the search results.

A lot of websites offers free piano music sheets. Sites that offer piano education also offer piano sheets. You can even type the word “piano lessons” and include teaching levels such as “for beginners” or “easy”, so that you can get piano sheet solos that are easy to play.

One site that offers free printable piano sheets is 8notes.com. This site offers musical arrangements in several file formats. However, they only offer free musical arrangements on GIF file formats.

8notes.com also allows you to listen to the music using a Scorch format. Scorch is a plug-in which can be easily downloaded at sibelisu.com for free. With this plug-in downloaded, it is now possible for you to listen to a MIDI file and follow through as the music is playing.

If you need a PDF version of the music sheet, you may need to subscribe so that you can get it for free.

Another site offering free piano musical score is pianostreet.com. Unlike 8notes.com, they offer free piano sheet on a top quality PDF file format. They even offer free samples and free membership but with some restrictions. If you want to access file on all their piano sheets, you may have to subscribe and shell out a few bucks.

Sibeliusmusic not only offers free piano scores in Scorch format, you can also access piano music using the MP3 format.

If you need piano education and solo pieces in progressive order, then you will have to visit G Major Music Theory. The piano sheets that they offer are free and available in PDF format. MIDI files are also available that comes with the piano sheets for easy reference.

With all the free piano scores that these sites offer, it is of course impossible to find everything for free. However, my only advice is to search as many sites as you can that offers free musical scores and build a library for your own personal use and easy reference.
