I was wondering how you do alternate picking. When you alternate picking the string, do you rest the side of your palm on the bridge, or do you just pick the notes freely (without the right hand touching anything.) I hope you understand my question. When i try to use alternate picking while resting my palm rests on the bridge, i get very accurate and fast tone, but when I when i dont it becomes the opposit. If you say "Yes, rest your palm on the bridge" Then my question is, should you always rest your palm on the bridge, even when your phrasing? When you rest on the bridge you are producing palm muting. Combination with normal and palm muted notes is what I use. It gives more dynamics and I am able to accent the notes I want. -------------------- Check out my <a href="https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/instructor/Emir-Hot" target="_blank">Instructor profile</a>

There is also a technique to mute the noise with the left hand if you're not resting the right hand. Jose is right, you can achieve clean picking even if you don't rest, it comes with experience. He mentioned Michael Angelo. Check him out on youtube (crazy fast player). He manages to play scales in the speed of light so accurate without resting at all.

That depends what kind of run and sound you are going for but in general I try not to keep my right hand floating freely too much.
