K, I been playing for like, I don't know...24 years. I learned sweep picking at some point and it has totally borked my picking technique.
So I am really applying myself to learn to shred with Alternate Picking. The problem is crossing strings, but only when really fast. Like 16th notes or even faster sometimes is no problem. But shredding is just not werking >:-(
So I need some tips guyz. I use fender heavy's for picks. I use DK .010's for strings. I have a great set up on my guitar with the action set to spec. I typically turn the pick slightly clockwise relative to the strings, and the wide part of the pick angled down slightly toward the floor. If I play legato style, I can shred, so i feel the problem is with my pick hand. It feels like the pick is getting hung up on the strings when trying to cross at really high speeds.
I know there is some folks here that can help me. I just feel that I must be practicing wrong or something. Any help would be awesome.
Peace,
