elbow picking audience 2

Here I am doing the 4/4 drills you asked me to try doing using elbow motion. Wrist motion continues to elude me. I'll make that brushing the strings with my fingers video and left handed attempt video soon. I just posted this so that my technique critique wouldn't expire.

Wrist motion with the guitar on my lap.

Picking test 1

Not sure what to say about this. I don't feel any closer to cracking the code.

wrist motion test 2

Here it is. This is as fast as I can do this motion. I tried doing it harder, lighter, with more/less motion, etc. but this is probably the fastest that I can do this motion.

Wrist Motion Test

I knock first, then I do the wrist motion test. This is at 170bpm. I call 180bpm my top for this motion. My goal on guitar is 150bpm, maybe 160pm if I'm dreaming big.
