    Short bursts at a high tempo works so well! I was using 230bpm and then played Master afterwards and could downpick the whole thing without tiring !

      @@morganmanesh5142 honestly not long at all. I could play the speeds before but not for full songs and barely faster. Since doing the tempo trick I dont have to do it anymore, I'm just able to play alot faster from it

      @@morganmanesh5142 try play creeping death intro at really high speeds just that first bit where theres a short burst of 5 down picks. Or make it 10, that's what I do and slowly increase the tempo, it tricks ur brain to play faster

      Marsh McCarthy hmm I’ll try that. I used a video by guitar lessons 365 called rapid downstrokes or something like that and he broke up creeping death and told me to relax absolutely everything and it worked but never stuck with me. It made me extremely happy.

    Stand up position helped me reach the tempo of the Master of Puppets, almost straight elbow and super thick picks are my combo (it works for me at least) being relax is the only way as he said guys. took me months to figure it out

    The thing is just a good pick grip (Including having the tip of it not all the way out, and attack with a minimal area) and making stamin. I don't consider myself the tightest downpicker at all, but after playing in this order, enter sandman, seek & destroy, leper messiah or stuff, for some half an hour or even less, just making that warmup, you are able to get a pretty fast accurate downpicking for shit like blackened or MOP, Creeping Death. IMPORTANT: Relax! That is an excellent tip, dude. Don't get harmed, i am also a classical guitarist and the thing is that also getting hurt with bad technique is quite common. We as musicians have the mission of making music and sharing it to non musicians and part of that is not harming ourselves with uneven agressive "techniques". Another quick tip: Use the right picks, i really dig the .88 Tortex (Green) with a hand sharpened tip (With sandpaper make the tip sharp as James's personal picks.) Also another thing from classical guitar that can be applied to this is: A short attack, attacking with the smallest movement possible since efficiency is all about that. Greetings dude!

    People forget that this is very much a workout for your forearms. Find your max BPM reduce by 20% then 10% then eventually your Max becomes your warm up. Keep chuggin until you reach Hetfield status 😆
