World-famous guitarist and guitar instructor Tom Hess has released an online resource sharing secrets to guitar speed for the guitar playing community to help them play faster and cleaner than ever.

Hess says: "You don't need to play an as fast as possible to make it sound great. Yes, playing with speed is cool, but there are many more creative options available to help you play killer sounding licks without needing to play fast."

Hess goes on to explain each of his playing approaches in detail. He states: "Although you wouldn't assume so, playing guitar fast and clean is more about efficiency than raw speed. The more efficiently you move, the more benefits you get from your efforts."

Hess explains this in the video demonstration of his resource. In his demonstration, he shows one of his students how to apply the guitar playing secrets of his resource.

Hess's online resource about lead guitar speed can be found on his website along with various other instructional materials for guitarists. Tom Hess is a touring guitarist, recording artist and a former member of the band Rhapsody of Fire from 2010 until 2013. Hess also toured Europe and US with the band HolyHell and recorded the album "Apocalypse" which landed on the charts in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

Hess began playing guitar on January 31, 1986 inspired by heavy metal bands such as Metallica, Def Leppard and Iron Maiden. His musical style later evolved from hard rock and heavy metal to the neo-classical and progressive rock styles, influenced by artists such as: Yngwie Malmsteen, Dream Theater, Symphony X, Andy Larocque, Jason Becker, Fryderyk Chopin, Gustav Mahler, Johannes Brahms and Claude Debussy.

Hess went on to receive two music degrees: one in music theory and another in music composition. In addition to his music school background, Hess also studied guitar with many guitar teachers, most notably with Lion Music recording artist George Bellas

In addition to his professional music career as a recording artist, Tom is also an online guitar teacher and a mentor to musicians, guitar teachers and rock bands around the world.
