This is very true. You have to believe that you can do it otherwise you won't be able to. Also hard practice only pays up in the following days when we pickup the instrument and say - WOW I can play this now

Congrats mate. Yes, definitely preparing yourself mentally is one necessity. If you don't believe in yourself, you will never be able to do it.

Imagine setting a clicker to 170bpm, mentally preparing for 16th note triplets - and they start popping out like crazy!
 I think my fingers would fall apart out of "mental awareness" after couple of mins -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

Well done and congrats
It's takes practice a while to "gel" in your brain so you may find you keep waking up better than you went to sleep. Keep up your practice! It's working! I"m having another Alternate Picking video lessons this coming saturday that will help you work on your speed and precision, please do join us Todd First off, I'd suggest gripping the pick so that not much pick is sticking out. Try to get the point of the pick to point out at a 90 degre angle from your thumb. Here is a picture to demonstrate.  Also, here are some things to try. ALTERNATE PICKING TIPS AND TRICKS 1.)Choke up on the pick. Only the point should be sticking out. 2.)Don't pick from the elbow! Control the motion from your wrist or fingers. 3.)Try a very heavy pick, 1.2 MM or greater so as to eliminate "flex" in the pick. 4.)Try to sharpen your pick to a point with sandpaper or dremmel or what not so that the surface area striking the string is as small as possible. There are some "training" picks that are shaped this way on purpose. 5.)Work with a metronome ALWAYS so that you keep your picking even. 6.)MOST IMPORTANT: Join me this saturday and every saturday for a live VIDEO CHAT lesson on ALTERNATE PICKING. We have been doing a series on that very topic for several weeks now. Here are the notes so far. Many great workouts to try. LESSON NOTES ON GMC FOR MY ALTERNATE PICKING SERIES Above all Practice!

After getting the good mentality, hard work truly pays off.
I can do 16th notes at 160 bpm quite easily. I'm becoming a shredder.
