I’ve tried building up many different techniques over the years and always hit that same ceiling right around 100-125 bpm 16th notes where my picking goes from smooth, tension free, relaxed, to a hopping mess.
I can do Gilbert sixes no problem up beyond 125 bpm, and can rip scalar lines in a similar manner. As soon as I require inside picking it falls apart. Alternate picking arpeggios falls apart.
I know I need to make time to go through a proper technique critique.
What has worked for getting you through the string hopping madness?
Thank you and I hope you have a great day.
