rae you talking abt alternate picking? like in a scale? picking up and down in a scale increases ur versatility greatly...same with strumming...it all takes time and practise

Two hand tapping, you mean?

Click me for a low-quality Youtube video

Or do you mean hammer-ons/pull-offs?

I think you're talking about tremolo picking and really the only way to practice is start off very slowly and build up speed there is no shortcut only practice can make you a speedy picker!

I'd keep alternate picking open strings till I get it. Then try it with fingering and stuff.
