QUOTE (Ryan @ Jun 6 2007, 03:25 AM)  I think using yoru elbow..is bad....hmm im not sure though I want to make sure i am being clear. i mean that while it is not rigid, to an extent the wrist stays in a straight line (or nearly so) as the lower arm, the movement of the lower arm, wrist, and hand as one unit provides the most of the pick force. after i read what you wrote, i looked at pavel. take his 3 string sweep lesson. in the last video (red shirt) he is clearly playing with the wrist. but if you look at the 1st video of that lesson, he is playing more so with the arm, or so it seems to me. then i looked at who i consider the best shredder i have ever seen. because he is so good, and ONLY plays as fast as he can and still play clearly and cleanly, unlike much of the shredding population. he looks to me to be doing what i am talking about, he powers the pick with the lower arm primarily, not with the wrist. so i think i am on to something here. my sweep speed picked up at least 10bps on 16th note triplets immediately, and they are much better quality, more clear and steady. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qG74eVb6V10 i am thinking primarily about what he does on his very fast playing, looks like with the arm to me. it makes sense to me. try to move you lower arm fast up and down, you and really go fast, holding a pick. try the same with your wrist, very obvious the former outdoes the latter. also the added mass of the whole arm is what must give the sweeps at least the more steady and smooth flow, that makes sense.
