5-8-7-8?

Oh, that's just a fret sequence to build speed.  It's a picking exercise.

U use your 4 fingers to play

5th fret, 8th fret, 7th, fret, 8th fret over and over again.  if u keep at it, eventually you will get better and better.

Not saying that time will come anytime soon if you don't practice, though. <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_smile.gif" border=0 alt="Smile">

I've had my guitar for 8

months now and I've been focusing on increasing my playing speed using the sequence 5-8-7-8-

over and over again.

I'm really fast now, but it seems that my picking hand can't keep up with my fretting hand...

I use alternate picking, but still, I cant go as fast as my right hand.  <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_sad.gif" border=0 alt="Sad">
