I still find that my left hand can do runs about twice as fast as my right can pick em.
Any fast shredder guys got some advice?
Like, which is better, soft or hard pick, large or small, held between thumb and 1st or 2nd finger? How hard do you pick the notes, how far does your pick travel...do you anchor your hand or leave it hanging there, does the pick just graze the strings with the tip or does it travel further down, do you use the tip or edge of the pick... how do you stop yourself from dropping the stupid thing.. etcetara etcetara ....
