These are the best lessons for improving picking technique I've ever found after years of playing guitar. One thing I noticed whilst trying to increase my speed on the two note per string exercise was my pick depth. If you come from a blues background and are used to digging in more it takes an adjustment for shredding. Now during this exercise, it feels like I'm going to miss the strings with the tip but I don't, instead, I get a much lighter feel using far less energy almost like floating over the top, just better for speed but it feels strange, something I will have to get used to.

Exercise #4 just happens to be present on John Petrucci's Rock Discipline and it's is indeed great. John also recommends using string skipping with it (instead of playing 4 strings I'm a row, use the Low E, A, D and High E strings)

I need to tell you. I was stuck for years with many things. Synchronizing hands, position of freting hand and so on. But after watching your workouts I finally belive that I can jump over the speed wich I was thinking is impossible for me. Especially this workout suprised me how fast I progress. You're the men. Thank you 😃
