I have a problem with learning the simplest alternate picking structures: at (fast) scales with 4 hits on every note and over multiple strings very often I don't hit the 4th note when I have to change to a lower string (example: from e-String to b-String).
It seems, that the problem grows when it comes to the higher strings (g, b, e) and I don't really know how to play and practise it right 'cause I've worked out too
many 'possible' ways... Should I use only the wrist or combined with arm-moving? Does the Plek have to be parallel to the strings? Which Plek-shape is the best? Are there some special alternate picking-exercises that could help in this case? What about 'ultra-slow-playing' - does it really improve the way I play even if I want to play it fast later?
Thanks,
Laser
