1. Speed is not important. If the video is too fast - slow it down. When you practice on your own set the metronome at a comfortable level. Always use a metronome.
2. Learn to make mistakes. If you make a mistake - continue and find your way back into the next measure. Never stop.
3. Look at the piece before you play. Check the time signature, key signature, repeat marks and possible difficulties before you play.
4. Try not to read note for note, but larger units. The same way you read a book - you don't read letter by letter.
5. Always tap your foot and count in your head.
6. Use alternate picking. Play downbeats with a downstroke and upbeats with an upstroke.

Guitarists very often don't like to read music, but it's the universal language of musicians. This way you can remember and prepare music. Once mastered it opens complete new worlds and broadens musical horizons.
