Wrist Movement Options

[Wabba]

Hi Muris! I wrote in your forum cause I like your techique most. Anyway, I red a topic where were discusion about guitar speed picking. Somebody said, that to achieve the fastest speed, wrist must be tight, and the movement must come from elbow (I've tried this, but I can barely play a single note because of the loss of accuracy). I'm currently picking like you (I think), that all movement comes from wrist. But I want to achieve super-fast-speed-with-good-accuracy. So should I learn the elbow-technic, and use it when my wrist can't move any faster, or is the maximum speed achieved then when wrist can't move any faster. I haven't yet achieved to maximum wrist speed (Or actually, I have, but it's a bit unaccurate), but I ask this now, cause I wanna know it for the future.

Hope you understand something what I try ask.

Hope I posted this into the right forum.

Ok, Thanks for answering! I move my palm always so, that I mute the lower strings that I don't use and I also try to mute the upper strings that I don't use with my left hand fingers. I guess wrist speed is the maximum speed when playing scale runs/many string patterns.
