Speed vs. Accuracy

This morning, I decided to kick it up a notch - I played my normal first three songs, but followed those with "Ace of Spades" (Motörhead). Twice.

It's awesome for a workout, but with the notes coming a bit faster, I had to be careful not to try to stop moving around to increase my accuracy.

There's a bit of a tradeoff there - with a faster, more difficult song, it's easier to get into it and really jam - but then, it's also easier to lapse into my normal playing mode and slow down to pay better attention and make sure I'm hitting every note.
