MalmsteenFan2007's Technique Critiques
Technique critiques shared by MalmsteenFan2007.
Over the last month or two, I’ve been experimenting with a new motion that feels like an extended forearm + wrist blend (similar to a Gypsy-style setup). This movement instantly felt fast and smooth, and it’s becoming increasingly consistent and retrievable the more I use it (faster also!).
I’m looking for advice on properly identifying this motion and guidance on how to best integrate or develop it further.
A couple of additional considerations for context is that my primary motion is elbow DSX (240 bpm on the the table tap test). Forearm is actually my second fastest motion test (hitting 220+ BPM), easily outperforming my EVH-style and Di Meola-style wrist motions (which top out around 170 BPM).

The last couple of weeks, I’ve been focusing mainly on working on my alternate picking by blasting some DSX versions of the Yngwie licks from the Volcano Seminar.
Despite being an elbow player, starting with an upstroke is something I’m still getting used to, especially when playing across multiple strings. My main focus right now is to get the least amount of tension possible while performing the motion.
In this video, I’m playing the first part of the Ping-Pong Sixes, and I can’t help but notice some noise during the string-switching parts, along with some weird shifts in my hand/arm setup. Maybe this is an issue with tracking or my arm position on the guitar?
I’d really appreciate any feedback on what might be causing these issues and what I should focus on improving.

DSX Elbow player here practicing the Pepsi Lick in order to develop the habilty to change string on an upstroke with the help of a secondary motion (forearm rotation) with no improvement at all. Decided to open a TC to get some advice on how to aproach the practice of lines with mixed scapes/string skipping.
P.D: sorry for the bad english,not my first lenguage.
