Hi there!
The best way to develop speed when it comes to banjo rolls for guitar, is to play together with a metronome at a slow tempo and build it up. It can feel a bit overwhelming to practice for 20-30 minutes on the same roll in a slow tempo, but that's what we need to be able to increase the tempo. Give it time and don't rush it. Example:
Practice for 20 minutes at a really slow tempo
Take a break
Practice for 20 minutes with an increased BPM tempo (maybe increase by 8 bpm or so)
Take a break
Practice for 20 minutes with an increased BPM again.. and so forth. This is how I built the speed,
Kind regards/E
