Hello there you married man, you!

Well, it's glad to have you back on track here and I must say that indeed I see progress, comparing these takes with the ones you got when you first arrived here. One thing that I could not help but notice, is the fact that you move your right hand too much - you should focus on a vertical movement rather than on a circular movement like you tend to use. I hope I am making sense here - but practice really, really slowly and focus only on moving vertically, when doing AP - after all it's only up down up down and you're also adding a perpendicular movement somehow, thus creating a sort of a circular all around picking technique which is only wasting your time

Let's try the following thing - pick up one, just one of the Winter arpeggios and record it at the slowest possible speed, while focusing on moving your right hand on a vertical axis for AP.

What say you?

Great observation, and great advice! I'm sure it will take me a bit to break the old habit, but I'm up for the challenge! So far every bit of advice you've given has helped me improve, so I'll certainly slow it down and focus on picking clean and efficient over 1 arpeggio at a time. As it stands, I'll "never" get to full speed the way that I'm doing it....so it makes sense that, "to go forward, sometimes you have to go BACK" and in this case, meaning that I have to slow it down and simplify it in order to eventually speed it up and shred it.

I'll post results when I get a chance, probably within a week. I'll be incorporating this practice into the tail end of my warmup routine, to ensure that I'm hitting it EVERY day.

Thanks Cosmin! Boy, I really underestimated the difficulty of this lesson originally. You play it so clean and fluid that I never thought I would struggle this much to go full speed. But the results on my playing/picking overall will be GREAT when I eventually get there!
