Train Consistency (Not Speed) Most players try to get faster. That’s the wrong target. Speed is a by-product of consistency. In this lesson (Step 2 of 12 Tiny Steps for Guitar), I show you a simple picking pattern using easy chord shapes and a D chord arpeggio, and how to loop it correctly so your hands learn to move consistently, not randomly. No fancy licks. No speed chasing. Just controlled repetition that actually compounds. If you stick with this, your timing tightens, your changes smooth out, and speed starts appearing on its own. This is The Pattern Loop.
