Frank Gambale has a video where he uses economy picking and sweep picking as opposed to alternate picking and if you are advanced enough that's fine, but if you are in the beginner stages i would do as Chris advises us and pay attention to use alternate picking exclusively.. It can take many years to if not a lifetime to pick like Gambale so i choose not to put the cart in front of the horse!

OMG! Middle finger nail! Why hadn't I tried that before!? For me this changes everything! I've tried numerous plectrums and the finger nail of my first finger, and have been struggling to decide which works best for me. But thanks to you I just realised that my middle finger nail feels so much more natural, and gives me the precision and speed I've been aiming for. Woohoo! :) This also means I can now jump between styles, incorporating strumming, taps, finger-style, and may be able to finally learn to be a good shredder too. I just tried some basic scales and found myself going so much faster than usual, and yet it seems to take much less effort, almost as if my finger has a mind of it's own. This really does change everything. I feel like I've been awakened or reborn, lol. Thank you!

But there are still some things I'm just not getting, any chance we could see another video, touching on the "progressive palm muting" technique and other aspects of sweep picking? Thanks again for such great content, and for being such a good instructor!

Chris didn't really go over any technique on the fret hand. Here's a tip, your left hand shouldn't be tense, it should be loose. You thumb placement also has something to do with it. If your thumb(obviously behind the neck) is placed between your middle and ring finger try placing it towards the left ahead of your index. That should help with finger dexterity.

Chris I have an observation that does not alter what your saying because I got the groove of the motion to return to the upper string immediately as you played it. In the first attempt at the pattern I found I angled my pic to keep from making the big arc. and this minimized the updown motion is ths part of your lessons here. I was simply amazed that it all came together in one effort. Its not the quality of fast picking at this time but it made a major influence to getting to and being immediately faster. I angle the pic and this kept the nose of the pick from going in deeper. Allowing the tip of the contact point to rebound faster and not having to use my wrist to retract back to the upper string when moving back one fret and continuing. Is this the effect you feel is appropriate for the whole of the lesson

I’ve never even thought about it, but some songs I’ve tried to learn I can’t quite get a fluid motion between strings on the speed picking riffs. I’m definitely going to try to work on that pick technique
