Jumping Over Strings Options

[badfingers93]

Hey there GMC I was looking at Jose Mena's lesson on alternate picking in which he said that he had to jump over strings to get over to the next string that he wanted to play to avoid hitting the string that he just picked. I have the same problem where my pick accidentally hits the string that i had just picked with an upstroke, when i was trying to pick the other (higher in pitch) string with a downstroke. So i now have to slow down my picking speed drastically, to try this jumping over strings method I find that it requires more movement and i'm not sure if i will be able to pick fast again. Will this technique be ingrained in my hands after a lot of practice and thus feel natural to me? Is it worth learning this method?
