i can agree with that what ever works works, its just a matter of working it slow and building up in speed over the weeks and heck you might even find like a 5% increase in your speed overall with minimum movement away from the strings, it makes since that the further away you move your hand that the longer it takes to move it back there and it is pretty much common since to try and minmalize this and get it under control, ive seen zack play with big hand movements well playing rythm but not well lead playing, do you think jason becker could have pulled half the speed outta his butt that he did if he had a outta control picking hand or so to say, its somthing to think about and the way i see it any tool that helps minimize the movement and gives you results is a tool everyone should use and learn from. the stylus pick does just that.
