A while ago, I started integrating dynamic picking into my playing routines in several ways:
For example: if I play a sequence of notes, I will practice them on 3 loudness levels: soft, medium and intense. I noticed a good boost in picking dynamics after this in my regular playing. It's very important for a musician to learn how to make his passages "breathe". Employing these 3 levels while practicing on slower tempos, really helped me control the picking intensity. Another interesting exercises is accenting some of the notes (for example, only arpeggiated notes over given chord) helps creating a good accent later on in playing. Another interesting exercise is shifting accents within 4/4 measure, so that the accent/sequence always falls on different quarter. Just some thoughts to share with you guys. If you have some similar observations on the topic, let us know, so we can learn from each other
