Hello,
While practising alternate picking I noticed that my thumb of my picking Hand(left hand, because I am a lefty) is making some strange moves. It goes up and down and I can't stop it. I guess it slowes me down a lot, but I am not sure. When you watch the video you will probably see what I mean. Can you tell me please if I should completly relearn my left hand picking motions or should I go on with this 'bad habit'? I feel comfortable picking this way but I assume that I won't get really fast with it. I also noticed that when I am playing on one string I am not doing this movment. I can play this way 170bpm(16th) a single note. But as soon it comes to picking more strings than one my thumb is jumping around
