Why It Matters
Trills require rapid, continuous hammer-ons and pull-offs between two notes. Sprints build fast-twitch muscle response in individual finger pairs, which dramatically improves overall legato speed and control.
How to Practice
- 1Hammer and pull rapidly between two notes, keeping the motion highly compact.
- 2Maintain constant, high-frequency oscillation until the end of the sprint.
Tips & Techniques
- •Keep the fingers close to the fretboard; larger finger movement slows down the trill.
- •Incorporate wrist stability to prevent the hand from shaking during the sprint.
