Found a new motion and need help consolidating it

Hi team, I came across a sort of USX rotation-ish motion that I really like but it comes and goes and could use some help understanding and developing it. Quite frankly, I'm not even sure it really is wrist/foream rotation but that's how it feels. Also, the USX string changes feel pretty natural when I get the motion right. Thank you, Steve

Help with 2nps pentatonics

Hi team, My 2nps playing seems to be very inconsistent and would love some help with improving my escape and articulation because I am missing plenty of notes with my pick. Thank you!

Gipsy tremolando

Hi team, I've been experimenting with the gipsy style motion, particularly for rhythm, and would like your feedback on how can I improve it. Thank you, Steve

Feedback on RDT with 3-finger grip

Hi team, I've been trying to adopt the RDT motion with 3-finger grip as suggested in my last critique, and I feel like I'm getting closer but I am not really sure I'm doing the motion correctly so I'd really appreciate your feedback on what can I improve and how the technique looks in general. For context, please note that I finally understood the "garage spikes" scenario when playing on a single string (before, I only associated it with moving between strings), and I've been trying to get the angle right and sometimes I get the satisfying feeling as if I wasn't using a pick at all but that feeling comes and goes and some days it seems like I have to re-learn the motion from scratch so my guess is that I am probably being inconsistent with my technique. Your input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Steve

Feedback on the new RDT motion

Hi folks, I am quite interested in developing the RDT/ergonomic mouse motion and your observations would really help me find the way because most of the time I feel like I’m doing either wrist/forearm or elbow motion. Also, I’ve been struggling with my hand positioning because the volume knob on my Strat seems to be in the way. what do you think? Finally, in the examples, I am playing the tremolo at around 180bpm 16th notes, and I feel like I can do better but my results have been a little sloppy so far. Thanks in advance, Steve

Which motion am I actually using?

Hi team, I am working on my tremolo motion and the pop tarts lick and I feel my movement tends towards USX style but I notice that my tremolo does a rest-stop on the upstroke (which I guess suggests a tendency to DSX? Do you consider this inconsistent or is it "normal" to encounter such discrepancies?
