When you're learning how to play the guitar, own up to something. Secretly, you're hoping you can play those great sounding guitar licks.

Rock, blues, even country style guitar playing is much better when you include guitar licks. So how do you go about learning to play those really fast rock guitar licks and riffs?

Here are some pointers.

1. Master Those Scales

Sure, it sounds tedious, but all good musicians have to put in that grunt-work behind the scenes when they practice playing fast. It matters not whether you're playing the cello in a group or playing wailing rock guitar licks, learning an instrument takes practice. Becoming good with scales, keys, and even some musical reading will make your guitar playing sizzle. Learn all you can about music.

2. How Do You Eat An Elephant? One Bite At A Time

This principle goes by other names, such as "baby steps" or "How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time!". If you will commit to practicing the scales and tabs of your favorite songs if only just for 15 minutes a day, your fast guitar licks will improve before you know it. Perseverance is the answer. No one ever accomplished anything they gave up on.

3. Seek Assistance

A mentor can be a real help for learning to play guitar licks and riffs. The downside to a live teacher is that private lessons can get costly. In addition, the teacher may not want to answer your questions when you are hammering out your technique at 3:00 a.m.! However, there is a very simple answer to these problems. Get your guitar instruction via your PC, either through downloadable guitar instruction software or websites that relate to playing the guitar.

4. Download Software To Learn Guitar To Your Computer

When learning fast rock guitar licks, software provides many advantages. First off, you can see the lick, both as written music and as the more down to earth tabulature form. But the best part is that you can hear the lick, too. Look for software that has infinite looping so that you can hear it several times before you jump in and play along with it. If the recording doesn't loop, you're sure to get frustrated because you'll just be getting ready to play when you'll have to click your mouse again. Variable speeds are beneficial, too, so you can learn the guitar licks slowly and then increase your speed until your playing like a guitar god!
