  Hi.
  Please give me som tips for that part with stretches, (part 2 and 3) I trying to get up the speed. I’m working on 60% tempo now and it feels like impossible to reach 100%
  
  Hi Kim, how are you?
  
  These parts includes many patterns that are played with a fast alternate picking technique. You have to get used to the right hand stretches, but you also have to get used to string crossing when using alternate picking.
  
  The best thing to do it work on smaller blocks so you can focus on your hand movement, and make sure that your hands are in sync.
  
  For example, let's take this first block.
```
     
---------------|
---------------|
---------------|
--------5--9---|
--5--7---------|
---------------| 
```
  Turn on your metronome (at a comfortable tempo) and practice it as a loop. While doing it, be sure to follow these tips:
  
  - Try to make small movements and stay relaxed.
  - Use the right alternate picking technique. Check THIS lesson for details.
  - Check your left hand posture. Use THIS lesson as reference.
  - Identify the string crossing mechanic used (Explained HERE)
  - Increase tempo gradually when you notice that al the previous tips/suggestions are done/right.
  
  Then, you can repeat this same idea with the following block, to finally connect both blocks into a longer one. Do this same thing with parts 2 and 3, and feel free to write me if you have more questions, or if you want to share a vid so I can give you more specific feedback.
  
  Be patient, and practice every day!
