Hi there,
I joined the membership since December but just started with the entire site just because of life 
.
I have ADHD and the barrage of information is sometimes really overwhelming for me and I was hoping if someone can just double check my understanding of the pickslanting primer and let me know if my understanding is fine? Thank you so much if you do take out the time to help me. I appreciate it.
- Picking inaccuracy happens cause the pick gets stuck in certain patterns when crossing the strings
- There are 3 escape motions
- USX where the pick is bent downwards great for 2nps and even patterns
- DSX where the pick is bent slightly upwards great for 3nps
- DBX Where the pick escapes both sides with the pick lead strongly with the edge.
- DBX is great for ONPS and patterns with a lot of random string crossing but otherwise isn’t the best for warp speed.
- Speed is trained by learning and speeding up certain chunking patterns at high speeds that are optimal for the pick style.
- For eg. USX it is Yngwie and Eric johnson and learning those patterns and licks and high speeds will help cement the motion more accurately in my brain.
- One has to be good eventually at all 3 and practice intentionally with the pick but let it happen sub conciously while improvising or just playing. They are just tools to help solve problems.
- You practice them so that eventually you don’t have to think about them and can accelerate the learning process.
- Picking can be done by several picking motions, like elbow, reverse dart wrist motion, arm motion.
- The picking motion test that you pick isn’t necessarily the fastest one but the one that you can last for a long time comfortably at a high speed without your muscle straining/tiring/gassing out?
