Alt Picking...

Muris,

What is the fastest you can pick 6 notes per beat at, and what exercises helped you attain that?

Alternate Picking

Muris,

Since I was last here I managed to almost perfectly nail your extreme neo classic and sweep etude lessons. I thought i was set for life minus a little consistency that I couldn't seem to build. So I tried the tough alternate picking lesson with the sweep positions and everything, and I have tried everything from repetition to a metronome, but I can not seem to buid speed. How long did it take you to be able to play something involving the techniques involved in that lesson? How many years after you started woudl you say you had that kind of technique? And how can I practice a given etude to increase speed and more importantly consistently? Also, how long would you say one should practice a single etude?

Thanks, ask if its confusing I am just frustrated!

Anthony
