If you're starting out get a metronome. Pick a pick you cant bend unless you want to do some koom by ya around the campfire. Don't worry about your speed because I can already see you are making some rookie mistakes in your mindset which will take years to correct later. 1. Get a metronome 2. Get a teacher who also is well versed in music theory. 3. Use the metronome. That's the only way to build your speed correctly. Assuming you want to be more of a lead player than a rhythm player.
