Fast Fretting 5/24/26

Description

Hi! I’ve been working with the team for a while now and am checking in to get some feedback on what to keep working on. I’ve added a couple face on and picking hand videos for review. On a single string my triplets and chromatic 16ths feel better and faster and I think my picking technique is improving. My biggest struggle is the 16th not box that I’ve been practicing on adjacent strings. Example would be D string 7 to 9 then G string 7 to 9 & repeat. I’ve been stalled there for several months around 120 bpm and am not sure how to progress. It feels like my picking gets really hoppy at speed and doesn’t feel like my single string picking. It feels like I’m just stalled out here and don’t think I’ve improved in a couple months. Overall any feedback on what to do next would be really helpful. Thanks!
