Hi new poster here
Please can somebody help me diagnose what is going on with my alternate picking. I’d class myself a forever beginner. I really think my picking hand is what holds me back from progressing. I’m left handed playing right handed. My issue is when I alternate pick I’ve noticed my pick seems to move side to side as if I’m scribbling tiny circular motions with a pencil causing the pick to move sideways as I pick up and down. I get a scratchy or squeaky sound. When I tremelo pick on a single string this motion does seem to go away. I’ve been trying to build alternate picking speed but soon as I get around 120-130bpm on metronome it falls apart.
Any advice is welcome. Just want to know what I’m doing wrong so I can work on correcting it.
Thanks
