For that matter, why do people even need more than four strings? Because four is too limiting for some people. Six is too limiting for others.

Six strings give you a larger range. You can go lower and/or higher than a four string, depending on your tuning.

There is more to music than just speed.
Practice. Nothing else can make your fingers go faster.
Buy a metronome. Practice listening to the beat.
Increase tempo gradually.

12 strings = two times six with octaves, like 12 string guitar.
You only need 4.

Lets see if you can understand this...

6 string less 4 string very good.
Notes will be more and better different.
12 string many too more than 6.
Answer to question yours this is.

I have another question. If you get banned from talkbass can you still view the forums?

Let's see if you can understand this...

Adapting English response to well intentioned but obviously non native english speaker good.
Giving condescending nonsensical Yoda style answer in atempt to look smart not so good.
Difference is subtle. Should not be attempted by people who can't tell one from the other. Very dangerous.

About final question: Only one way to find out and it's not worth your while to do so.

As the guys have said, practice practice practice, it's the only way, learn a scale, play it slowly, then gradually build up speed until you can play lightning fast

And why did that guy jump down his throat? because he doesn't know too much english? that's dumb, he probably sucks at the other guys native lingo.

Get a metronome.

I have a Korg MA-30.

Memorize something. An exercise. A Scale. An Arpeggio.

Set the speed of the metronome slow enough that you can play the memorized thing perfectly.

Most people will not like the next step.

Slow the metronome down, continue to play the thing perfectly, while pressing down on the strings frimly.

Ok. Now slowly speed up the metronome as you play faster and faster with a light touch, not pressing down on the strings any more than you need to to get a good tone.

When you get to the point where the metronome is faster than you can play, slow it down and start over.

Practice your left hand and your right hand together and separately. Most people do not practice their plucking or picking separately from their fretting, but that helps my speed more than anything.

Have fun. It is going to take some time.
