Max Ostro picking technique

hey guys can anyone confirm that the motion Max Ostro is using around 0:12 seconds (all throughout the video really) in is an elbow motion with DSX? I see his brachioradialis flexing when he plays those alternate picking lines

I was wondering about this too. I have been trying to learn this using both Max and Yngwie’s approaches.

As I have watched it, it always looked like elbow motion to me, but I am not sure about the escape so any input from anyone would be awesome!

Frickin’ love this track - 1st time I’d ever heard YJM - when the feel changes in the solo section, the playing blew my tiny mind!

Love Max’s rendition too!
