My goal with alternate picking is of course to pick in jaw dropping speed, so i want the fastest way to play fast, please give me good practicing tips as well as informing me what is the right way of practicing alternate picking.

And yes, alternate picking needs a lot of practice. So don't give up and remember that nothing comes for free You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

But it is more of an up-down motion with the wrist then say a left-right. The lesson Batista linked is a great start also there is I think two more lessons in that series and there are many other Alternate picking lessons here at GMC that may help you out a bit. With a quick search you should find all kinds Here is the other two lessons in Kris's series and one of Muris's that you may find helpful. https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/speed-alt...ing-lesson2.htm https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/speed-alt...ing-lesson3.htm https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/solo-guit...picking-thirds/ rok You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

IMO there isn't a better way for doing it. Just pick the way you feel comfortable with and start drilling :] BTW I really didn't understand what did you mean by "left and right" and "back and forth". For a tip I can tell you what a friend used to say "Only the first 1 million times are hard". I think you get the idea :] Just do it as much as you can and IMO in AP there is no way to go wrong. And the most important thing! Play it in a musical way! Because AP is quite easy technique to drop out 1000 notes in a minute and many people abuse it and it sounds like st. Well I had hard time writing this one(due to poor english ) so I really hope I've helped. Cheers, Hristian You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

You just choose some options that suit your style nice and stick with it. Jaw dropping speed doesn't require only "proper way to do it" but more important a lot of hard work, no matter how you do it.
