Alt Picking (Lesson 40)

Hello again everyone! I've been working on these exercises for a while, and I'm sure my left hand is sloppy, but I'm wondering more if my picking hand looks okay? Papa Gates talked about how Syn and many other great players angle the pick and tilt it back. I tried to find a decent camera angle that shows my pick, hopefully you can see it. If not, please let me know if there's a better way to show it. Thank you guys for watching!
Download an app and wear headphones .. I know you'll struggle to hear yourself. But if you record it.. you'll see it later anyways.
It's crazy because I was going to ask you about using headphones, but I deleted it because I figured it might've been a silly question. Lesson learned- always ask. Thanks man, I'll get right on that.

You cant hear it but it's in my wheadphones. And the volume on the PC is 100% the amp is still loud enough to hear but it sounds like a bass drum honestly so that's how I see it. But when i started and didnt plug the amp into the PC I used the PC for the metronome and wore headphones. Even if you had an ear bud in one ear. That's how I see them do it live.

That makes sense to me. I'll start using headphones. Thanks again, your help is much appreciated.
