I've just started working on Megadeth's "Holy Wars... The Punishment Due" in my continuing (and possibly fruitless) quest to improve my metal playing. I've got all of the riffs down except for the introduction, which has that three-note "gallop" pattern, as with the main riff in Metallica's "Battery", if you know what I'm talking about. I'm having a bit of trouble nailing this technique. Does anybody know of any exercises that would be useful for training my picking hand to perform it more easily?
Cheers. :)
