Clips are: 4NPS, 4NPS Slow, 3NPS, 3NPS Slow, 1NPS, 1NPS Slow
Hello! Looking for any obvious callouts that can help me. I feel like on the 4NPS stuff i feel like a weird pause inbetween switching each string. I also cant go much faster than that without using my elbow. Any tips or advice? thanks!
This is pretty interesting, because you begin the Rock Discipline sequence on a downstroke, but you subconsciously know that won’t work, so quite quickly you switch to starting new strings with an upstroke. I assume you weren’t aware of this, correct? One thing you could try is to purposely begin the whole thing with an upstroke (so your 16th note groupings are now UP down up down). It’s not a perfect solution, as your picking appears trapped some of the time, but if you try it and also add a little more downstroke escape (the whole thing is single escape), I bet you’ll have it nailed pretty quickly.
With the 3nps thing, you are using a rotational “helper motion” for the penultimate note. That’s fine, however there is a little lag before you play the last note, I believe because you are going (for the whole thing):
Down Up Down Up Down Up ROTATE Down
So it’s like eight actions for seven notes. Try to combine that rotational movement and the upstroke into one single movement.
Thanks a lot for the insight! I was not aware of this. I cant seem to get rid of the garage spikes problem while doing a motion that i am comfortable with. Picking more trapped is probably not good
