Okay, this here is my homework - I was assigned 135bpm, but I was trying a sort of "shoot for the stars and hit the moon" kind of thing so I did 140 - crash and burn, should have done 135. This is a bit less ambitious with my mixed escape lines, at the end I just give up hahaha

lol Here is an attempt at mixed escape picking, title pretty much says it all. I started at 150, but I couldn't play at all, so I settled at 130 with is probably "top stringhopping" speeds. Dismal failure to say the least. Oh well. There's always elbow, right?

"Supinated DSX MX Escape Attempt" is an attempt at doing my DSX single escape - only supinated! And then trying it out with the "best I can muster" wrist rotation.

Challenging. Lots of swipes and misses here as I try to start a bit slower and speed up. No click. Used a different pick, and I *think that the attack is a lot less severe.

Playing along with Guitar Pro 8 - something that should be easy, but I'm just not there yet. Started at 140BPM, cycled through the study twice and then increased the tempo by 1%. I had to trim this video so the first part of it may be slightly faster than 140. It's at that point where stuff is falling apart.

This one is interesting; I thought I'd try a few with my DSX motion and I wasn't initially going to include it because it was pretty terrible. But if one can get past the terribleness of it, it tells a story I think...

I can play the whole lick, but ran into the magnet sort of colliding with my hand so I opted to just post this chunk. Still refining this killer lick

Attempt at getting escapes that are clean... Something mutated here as far as my motion/form - not certain it's positive...

Seeing what gets trapped or escapes in medium vs fast tempos!

I tried to get this to kind of the same level that my Tumeni Notes was at; this is faster actually because straight 16ths. but that doesn't matter - the error happens prominently starting at 152 until about 152. 144 there's a "hint" of it meaning that sometimes I get it clean, sometimes I don't. I tried to do this also with a flat, almost supinated picking hand but as I messed around I may have inadvertently developed a USX thing... That's a tale for another day. Anyways, I will include this with my technique critique, hopefully it paints a better picture. I am aware of the swipe/thwap; I just don't know what to do to not do that at tempo if that makes sense. I could probably grind the tempo way up next day but I think that will just present the same thing. -------------------------------------------------------------------------5--- -----------------5---6--------------5---6---7---------5---6---7--------- ---5---6---7--------------6---7------------------7------------------------

Starting over... Sadly, this is only at 60 FPS, and the closest to a "magnet angle as I could muster. One example of many picking difficulties, this sequence has 3 issues in one. I just put this together so this is my top speed at the moment just before it falls apart completely. It's a good representation of any phrase that has these sorts of difficulty in them as far as approximate starting tempo, position, etc goes. I have no clue what I am supposed to be making my right hand do, so I am simply opting for "trying to hit the strings" if that makes sense. There is a useful musical application to this, but I decided to remove the left hand from this in order to try to decrease the variables. Filmed on an Iphone XS, Edited in Finalcut. I will try to learn more to see if I can further improve the fidelity. Hopefully this can provide something of use. I will do a much faster and sloppier version tomorrow once I have had a chance to get a bit more comfortable with the note groupings. Thanks. --------------------------------------------------------------------x---- --------------x---x-------------x---x---x---------x---x---x---------- -x--x--x--------------x---x-------------------x-----------------------
