Sample Video, Dean's Picking Technique, 2023-10-06
Hello, I would really appreciate your feedback. I've been string hopping my whole life- really frustrated that I couldn't get any decent picking speed. I recently set up my membership, watched all of the videos, ran the tests and then experimented with the different techniques. USX feels the most comfortable and also produced the best speed results. In just a matter of days I've made a major improvement in my picking speed. However, it is still nowhere near respectable speeds. Here are my questions:
1. Do you see any problems or areas for improvement in my picking motion?
2. Is it normal that, as a newcomer to your system, there is such a large gap between my tap test speed (180 to 200 range), tremolo speed (170) and my lick playing speed (about 120 max)?
3. What is the process to increase my lick playing speed? I know you say that playing the same lick over and over again while challenging yourself with higher metronome speeds is not the answer. What would you recommend as my next steps?
