In curious coincidence there's a speed picking exercise


e|---------------------------------------------------------18-21-------------18-21-|
b|--------------------------------------------------18-21-------------18-21--------|
g|---------------15-18-------------15-18-18-20--------------18-20---------------|
d|------- 15-18-------------15-18--------------------------------------------------|
a|-16-18-------------16-18---------------------------------------------------------|
e|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

in the first six notes of this exercise, i assume you use your ring finger to fret the second note of each string (18ths), and you use your forefinger/index to hold down the 15th frets on the d and g strings. however i can't work out if you use your middle or index finger to fret the 16th fret on the a string at the very beginning. i have difficulty working out which one is supposedly faster.

also is the 20th fret on the g string held down with your ring finger or middle finger?

thanks a lot and sorry if these seem like dumb questions. im working on speed a lot at the moment.

thread resurrection!

im learning the motto is oops (very cool chilled out song btw). and the very fast speed picking lick with:

----------------------------
----------------------------
---------------------------
------------------7-9------
-----------7-10----------
----7-10-----------------

near the beginning im having difficulty with. again is this index and ring only or is the idea to use the pink for the 10 fret notes and then the ring for the 9th fret. or do you use ring and then middle?

also the whammy harmonics stuff i cant seem to master, from the videos it doesnt look like you are actually hitting the fret with the end of your finger, can you or someone please offer some help with this technique. it sounds great and i want to learn it but am struggling.

also more monster legato runs! these are amazing.
