I've started on 30bpm, and increased the speed over weeks and weeks, without success. I will start again with a good teacher who can play what I want to learn. I still have time :)

@gabrielthornmusic if that really happend (and you couldnt push it any further), then you developed 2 different techniques (for slow and fast with different muscle-action).. thats why many players advise to start extremely slow for developing the muscle-memory in the correct way. i had the same problem like and then i stopped for 3 years.. but wanted to create music and add my solo-ideas to it.. but i started with 40-50 bpm and gradually i increased it over weeks. it works! :)

[gabrielthornmusic]

I've done the same. Practiced with the metronome many hours for 3 years, played the notes clean, started on very slow speed, tried to increase the speed gradually, and I always died at 16th notes at 120bpm. That's where my carreer as a guitarist ended ...
