Metronome is pretty much the 'industry standard' way to go but if you absolutely hate it then find an AP lick/line you really dig, record or get a backing track (plenty here at GMC) and practice with the track. Start slow and increase only when you're smooth and clean at each tempo.

Thanks guys, I know the 'ol metronome is probably the best way to do it combined with a little self control and dedication, it's just painful to think about.

Thanks, Greg, for your kind words.
However, I struggle a lot with outside picking and I try hard to fix it. Different exercises, experimenting with pick angles and hand positions, the Vai way, the non-Vai way, with or without bursts, etc. Maybe we can exchange some experiences and thoughts and exercises and other stuff related to alternate picking. Video diary or other means of documenting progress? I do these with a metronome only, but I'm considering making a backing track. Start playing this one: Outside_Picking___ascending.gp5 ( 3.24K ) Number of downloads: 99 at a comfortable tempo, 5-10 times or as many as you find suitable. Rest for 30 seconds or so, then increase the speed. Repeat until you can't keep up, at which point you half the speed and do the same with this one: Outside_Picking___ascending_with_bursts.gp5 ( 3.55K ) Number of downloads: 95 |

I like tux guitar , it has a metronome you can turn on and a note to follow
and the second is training for technical difficulties( i believe you are good enough to figure which part is palm muted and which runs incorperate inside and outside picking This post has been edited by jstcrsn: Apr 1 2013, 11:45 PM

Hi mate! I will share here the exercises that helped me with AP technique. I worked on these ones using metronome and also over backing tracks and songs (to make the practice funnier).
