Thanks man for your honest opinion. Means a lot.
I will upload a new take with less effects so you can hear the notes better. Trust me, I am working on trying to break the picking habit for sure. It's just so easy while in the moment to revert back to all down stroke's. I'm thinking in my mind, "up down up down" but my hand seems to have a mind of it's own sometimes. Maybe you could suggest an exercise at a slower tempo to help me work on this.
Thanks for understanding my points.
I know your trying really hard to break this habit and I will find you an exercise to work on. It is easy to revert back to bad habits when you step out of your comfort zone. I have been through this myself with several things and have a few more to work on, that's for sure.

As far as the chords go, I'm a bit confused on what you are saying here. These shapes look to me like regular power chords. I'm playing them barred with ring finger only because the thumb think is throwing me off. Are you saying I should still be using ring and pinky for the 2nd and third notes of the shape?
I am not talking about the chords with the thumb so lets just forget about those for right now. You are just playing all standard 2 finger power chords for everything (1st and 4th finger). Go back and look at the main video. At point 0:15 he uses 3 finger bard chord (1st, 3rd and 4th finger). Also at 0:28. That shape is what I am talking about. It is the same shape as the F chord (minus the second finger because that makes it a major) from Mirus's lesson. I just want your hand to get use to that shape and moving it around. Hope that helps clear that up.
