Speed picking is when u wiggle the pick really quickly on a string, it is really fast.Good examples of speed picking is by a band called DreamTheater.Their album "Metropolis Part 2 : Scenes from a Memory" is not only an incredible album, but alos has great solos from all instruments including synthesiser. The solos are difficult but are great examples of speed picking in practice.

Good Luck and hope this was of help!

Speed strumming... difficult concept. You mean in a punk-rock type fashion?

I think the trick is to keep a loose wrist, and like everything, start slow and just build up speed.

Its amusing to see all the different guesses as to what skin might mean...

My guess, and suggestion, would be "Pinball Wizard" and just about any of the stuff on the "Tommy" studio album from The Who.

Pete Townshend has long been a major influence on my style, with his percussive strumming that echoed or augmented Keith Moon's drum parts.

Speed strumming in the sense, that you change chords fast and are able to strum fast to the rhythm.
