Hey doug, it's the lick in this course. Normally i use to get the feel of it fairly quick when i do stuff like that. And it's not like i can't do it at all, i just think it's a little coordination failure between my right and left hand.

It's just the speed that im not satisfied with i quess.

But i think that my alternate picking should improove if i wanted to focus on something, any exercises for that?

Honestly, your alternate picking can always be developed by practicing your scale patterns. If you truly want to make it better and more developed, set up a practice routine that heavily revolves around that. This can mean working your scale patterns up to speed with a metronome, as that will help you quite a bit with the licks from the video you posted. Take it slow, and make sure your playing is clean before you move on. I have found in my practicing I try and kill two birds with one stone by practicing new scale patterns while also intertwining working on my picking along with it. That way my left and right hands are getting a good work out. A player to seek some great advice from would be Paul Gilbert, as he is an alternate picking machine and offers much great insight into this concept. Here are some links to some YOUTUBE videos that clearly demonstrates that;
