Ok I have spent like 5 days on Muris Varajic Alternate picking.
If I play with the tab or with a metronome I can not go over 74BPM hitting the triplets right and I am actually getting tired of trying.

It is like the timing itself is what is holding me back...

Now I have spent the last 2 hours breaking it into parts just trying to play each part as fast as I can, forgetting about timing. To my surprise I am getting very very close.

I mean really, sixteenth triplets notes at 150 BPM is really just play as fast as you possibly can.
I feel I would get there far faster trying to learn it fast instead of working my way up to it while losing interest.

Heck that is basically what every single instructor does in the videos. They play it once slow and then fast with nothing between.

To me the metronome or any source of timing is for building technique, timing habits and especially accuracy making it very important on everything you learn. However, once you have a certain piece of music learned and yes, picking correctly too, there must come a time to just play the darn thing. But of coarse go back to the timing to polish up from time to time.
The metronome has helped my playing beyond measure but is there a time when you put it away and just focus on speed?
If speed is your goal, as it is mine.
Thanks
