I was working on a new picking excercise last night that takes place on the A string. Just an ascending sequence. I have an audio file that goes along with the book so I can hear the exercises being played. The guy said the tempo was 120 bpm.
When I was going slower I did not have a problem with the pick not passing through the string smoothly on the upstroke.
But when I played it at the tempo he was playing it at again I had problems with the pick getting kind of hung up or stuck on the upstroke. It doesn’t seem to want to pass through the string smoothly on the upstroke. The problem only shows itself as I try to pick faster.
I don’t know why I have this issue.
