Tom- do you have any more suggestions for  getting timing right on the overpicking in the Franken-lead  part of the Don't Fear the Reaper tutorial? I can hit the notes at the very start of the intro where you demonstrate things at half speed, but even slowing down the full speed play and then moving up speeds I still seems to be not squeezing enough notes in at 0.9 speed even.  It looks like a very loose up-down rapid picking, is there something I'm missing? Do I need to minimize wrist motion? Be braced better? (Just keep practicing <g>?)


 


Any advice welcome on overpicking, it's a terrific tutorial. Have ambitions of playing the lead as well as the rhythm parts
