USX alternate picking

hello guys.

so basically ive been really trying work on eric johnson style USX. ive gotten better for sure but playing can still show to be very inconsistent. ive had like two times where it really clicked and i was like damn i can play this lick. but most of the time i got caught in the strings and maybe the technique doesnt sound right in different ways. im thinking i might just keep adjusting my right hand and then trying the lick or a lick until it feels right. what does this method sound like to you guys is it what you do?

this type of practice reminds me of when i learned how to do a hand whistle and i knew the general form but just had to keep messing around until worked. and then really had to remember what that felt like.

i hope that i because i know ive gotten it right before that if i find the right adjustment that everything else will fall into place. or maybe I will have to adjust specifically how i change strings as well.

anyways lmk thanks!!!
