Well my speed picking practice is shaping up - and now I figured out how to hold the plectrum I am making some progress. I have a problem with ringing strings though. Particularly when I play this pattern from Kris' lesson:
E||--------------------12----14----15----|-------|| B||--12----13----15----------------------|-------|| G||--------------------------------------|-------|| D||--------------------------------------|-------|| A||--------------------------------------|-------|| E||--------------------------------------|-------|| When I take my pinky off the B string, it rings and stays ringing, muddying up the whole riff, sounds like this : triplets.mp3 ( 188.29K ) Number of downloads: 308 ... and gets worse when I try to play it faster. How do I avoid this? Should I be palm muting a little? Thanks! -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

On a different thread, (here) Pavel suggested I upload some video of my playing so he could spot any mistakes - I thought appending it to this thread made more sense, as I am still thinking about getting my playing as clean as possible.
In the attached video I go through 3 of the exercises I do. I can play the first 2 faster, but I think I need to slow down and concentrate on playing cleanly before I go for speed. The sweep picking is my worst, and I know I should be muting the strings more with my palm, but I am still very new at this one ... Hopefully Kris and Pavel (and anyone else for that matter) can have a look and let me know if I am at least getting the basics right and just need to practice for a while - any feedback very gratefully received !
