Knocking motion

Here I do the knocking test seen in "chapter 1 - testing your speed". With the normal movement I'm around 190 BPM max and doing the triplets, as I do with the drums, the equivalent to 214 BPM 1/8 notes. I suppose the second one is not doable with a guitar thought.

Forearm down picking trial

A friend, following internet videos, recommended me to try a forearm movement for picking and I have been trying it for a few months without increasing the speed achieved significantly. Very far from the 180 BPM I'm used to. Any tips? I am pretty sure I am doing something funny.

Dart movement down picking

This movement happens quite naturally for me when I try to down pick fast. it feels like nocking on the guitar but with a small angle I can use it easily for downpicking. Still I cant pass the 180 BPM mark. Any tips?

Normal Alternate

This is my go to movement for alternate picking, very similar to my down picking, I think. I try to use dart movement of the wrist but it feels like I'm still using the arm and I cant pass 180 BPM with it. Any tips?

Normal Downpicking

Hi, this is my go to movement for picking. here you can see me down picking. I can't go faster than 180 after 15 years of playing and I have been focusing on that the last months with great frustration. Anything I can do better? BR Miguel
