Trying an escaped upstroke motion, and then the rotational motion in an (admittedly sloppy - right after work, no warmup!) mixed escape context.

Seems I’m using legato and a buried upstroke to get through descending string changes and forearm rotation for ascending. Which technically works, but I think this pick stroke looks pretty buried.

Cold or allergies kicking in strong here so also a fair amount of trying not to sneeze - sorry! This position feels “weaker” than standing for lack of a better word and slowed down I think I see some legato in there descending…

For lack of a better word. Went back to my usual standing posture rather than sitting to rule out any variables the change in position might introduce and as it happens I anchor differently; seated I gravitate to the back of my hand on the bridge, standing things feel like they flow better with the ball of my hand below my thumb anchoring on the body, which certainly changes the pick stroke orientation. Gilbert 6s motif in Cmaj/Amin but for whatyever reason I start off trem picking a B so we're going modal, I guess.

Back to the original pattern because it sequences better and falls a little easier under my fretting hand. Still needs some polish but this is significantly smoother.
