believe me, speed just comes around whether you care to get fast or not, the more chord shapes you know, the more agile you get, and if you are working with hybrid picking style(we know you are!) you are going to sound fast sometimes. whether you are playing fast or not...the point is just to get to where you can play what's in your head and heart and translate that to other people.....lately I've been working on a lot of George Jones stuff from the Musicor years(1965-71), and I was making the guitar parts way more complicated than they really were cause I was listening to the piano and bass and steel and voices and the three other guitars on there, and just mucking it up. some simple 4 chords with chord fragments got me a lot farther along, but learning all those crazy lines and chords gave me some more language to work with...if you are sincere in your work and work hard and with joy, nothing is wasted...
