Let's talk about speed picking. There are a lot of different ways to speed pick. I started
speed picking by listening to music from different cultures. For example, Italian mandolin, Flamenco
guitar, Greek bouzouki, you know, many others. I often find that that's the best source of
speed picking. Just to take the mandolin example. Take one note and just practice playing that
note up and down until you're eventually able to play it almost like a fan. So it's to be
very relaxed.
You can change notes. You might combine this with hammer-ons and pull-offs. So there I
worked my way down the scale. If I play more notes on the scale, say I play two scale notes
up, and slide down, it creates a nice speed picking exercise.
I'm playing clean right now, but if I play this with full on distortion, it sounds pretty
cool. Check it out.
Okay. So at the end I went down the scale across the strings. Again, you have to start
slowly and you just need to practice like this and then eventually you get to the point
where it's like this, and you can add extra notes.
And there's your little lesson on speed picking.
