Alternate Picking Critique - USX

Description

In this video I'm using USX. I recently changed my pick holding technique, and I'm a bit nervous in this video as I haven't made a TC before. I'm worried that I'm using too much forearm. I can do this speed, but not always super consistently or with a lot of endurance. I can even go faster, but again ,consistency goes out the window. Do I keep practicing like this, or is there something wrong with my technique? Thank you!

Pick Slanting for Double Escape

Ok, in this video I'm trying to straighten out my pick so that it is more perpendicular to the strings without changing my forearm rotation. In the first few seconds, I play with a more downward pickslant. Then I show the change to a mroe perpendicular (zero pickslant).
