Slowly working on getting this more articulate. I’ve been backing off the gain and reverb so I have nowhere to hide 
I’ve recently started to realize that I can pick it pretty consistently now with what I understand is ‘cross-picking’ as I can see my hand switching angles (I default to downwards pick slant) but it’s actually some of the tricky left-hand shapes that are tripping me up so I’ve been woodshedding some small sections. I have noticed a sneaky bit of sweeping will appear from time to time but I’ve been trying to weed that out as I prefer the rhythmic consistency of alt picking it.
Interested to hear any thoughts!
