Sweet Alternate picking Lick

I found this pretty simple pattern a little while ago. It's really fun to play, and easy to manipulate to get lots of different colors out of it. I've been working on my picking technique a lot, and it feels so much easier to control and to maintain. I'm open to any criticisms regardless of how far I feel like I've come.

Nice devil horns in the end, my friend :cool: There's something that I've noticed about your playing that I finally have time to say, especially since you're so cool with being open to constructive criticism. Your hand-to-hand coordination seems off. Some of the notes seem a little choppy, or not clear with coming through fully. It seems like you sound a little "stiff", if that makes sense. Have you ever done permutations before? I think you'd benefit greatly from them! And your right hand, even though for shredding, just seems really tense. But you're kicking ass brother!

Thanks a lot for the criticism! I think you're right. I think one reason for my poor coordination is that I've always relied on my left hand for speed. I have done permutations before, but I will try to work on them more consistently to improve my coordination. As for the stiffness, I think it's a bad habit that I need to lose. Everything just feels better when you're relaxed. Thanks again!
