Good Day, and early holiday wishes to you Muris :]
I was just wanting to inquire about a few suggested exercises/method fixes for some shred techniques
-I have been rigorously practicing a 3nps routine, but no matter how much I practice, I dont seem to be gaining any speed. Any suggestions on how I can remedy this?
-With sweeping, I feel like all I'm doing is picking each note instead of doing a genuine sweep. Is this due to a lack of speed? I was wondering what kind of right hand pick position you recomend, I normally play with the pick between my thumb and first finger, with the other three fingers out (almost resting on the pick guard, but not quite).
Also, I'm having a good bit of trouble synchronizing my left and right hand, which really puts a damper on my speed
-And finally, I was wondering if you had any other suggested techniques for shred style guitar playing. I commonly practice sweeping, alternate 3nps picking, and single string tapping
Also, just to throw it in there, what size picks do you normally play with? I've found that I really enjoy using the Dunlop Tortex .6 mm or .73mm picks.
Thank you very much =)
