There are many techniques that we can use to make a guitar sound good. Speed is a factor that is important to lot of people who love the guitar and everybody likes speed guitar playing.
One right hand guitar technique that is used very often is to use alternate picking when you are playing guitar scales. This can help the guitarist to achieve awesome speed. One thing important when anybody does alternate picking is synchronization of both the hands at high beat per minutes. There are many guitarists who have mastered this technique however I would like to mention one great guitarist who can play awesome fast guitar runs and that guitarist is John Petrucci. In the video below you can see how awesome he is.
To build speed one has to practice guitar with a metronome for long hours and practice scales. This can be monotonous sometimes.
Other left hand technique that is used to play fast runs on the guitar without the use of right hand is legato playing. Legato means ’smooth’. One has to use pull offs and hammer ons to achieve the legato sound. By using this method the guitar sounds good. Joe Satriani plays some awesome legato as you can see in the video below:
I agree. Legato playing sounds good.
