I am trying to get faster at alternate picking. I have always cheated using hammer-ons and pull-offs. I am trying to get out of doing that by playing with a metronome now.
No matter how hard I try these days, it is so hard to get faster and more accurate, but I can tell that the metronome is helping. How many hours do you guys practice scales and modes?
Here is a little riff that I came up with tonight. I have no idea what it is, as far as theory, but I thought it sounded good. I made the mp3 faster so I could tell what it would sound like when it is up to speed.
