These exercise should make you faster.
But please don't steal any licks!

Good luck! :P

About the exercises:
1 - This is a warm up exercise I use, but if you know 
anyone better use that one instead!

2 - If you don't know what sweeping is I'll explain here:
Instead of reversing direction with the pick for every 
note, you play several in a "sweeping" move.
It's hard in the beginning, but you'll learn.

3 - Now you won't need your pick! When playing with
tapping you use you right hand fingers 
(for right-handed) to "tap" the note marked "T".

4 - OK, this sounds harder than it is. In the beginning it 
doesn't really matter if you hit the notes exactly or not!
You'll be better at that in time, i promise!
