Ok, I know I may sound kinda out of the group with what I'm about to ask but I was wondering how I can learn to play faster, like if there is a certain speed building excercise of some sort? The kind of music I have been playing is that of Guns N' Roses, Metallica (mainly rythem part only), Korn....please don't bash on me for this....I've seen it happen before

. Recently I have heard more of
Steve Vai and am very impressed with his skill. Now, I was also wondering if someone could please let me in on some basic ideas of what the techniques would be like (for example....the definition of
sweep picking). If anyone would take the time to help, please do so.
