I'm trying to play Everlong. It's really fast. Right now I can play the whole song at about 125 bpm, but the actual tempo is 158.
A couple months ago I learned Roxanne, which is also pretty fast.. what I did was learn it at a slower tempo, then gradually speed it up over the course of many practice sessions until I could play it at full tempo. This worked, but I was wondering if there's anything specific technique-wise that I could do that might help me play those really fast 16th notes.
Also the song About a Girl by Nirvana I've been playing for literally months and can do it at its actual tempo but the fills are just super sloppy, or feel sloppy to me anyway, and I'm not sure how to fix that. I can play them cleanly at like 5 bpm less than the actual tempo of the song, but any time I try to play the song at its real tempo, the fills just don't sound right and it's pretty frustrating considering how much time I've spent working on this.
