Speed comes from playing cleanly at a tempo, then nudging it up. Write an exercise, riff or song section on each row, and tick the tempo box once you can play it three times in a row without mistakes. Then move one box to the right.

Questions
How fast should I increase the metronome?
Go up 5 to 10 BPM only after you can play the passage three times in a row cleanly. If it falls apart, drop back 10 BPM.
What tempo should I start at?
Slow enough that it feels almost too easy, often 60 BPM. Accuracy at a slow tempo is what makes the fast tempo possible.
