USX Sync and Swiping?

Playing Technique
#1

Hey Everyone,

Been grinding in the woodshed and need outside perspective on my sync and how I am changing strings. I believe I am swiping for the most part but I’m not sure.

1st video is USX tremolo-I feel confident in this one
2nd is DiMeola 6s on single and multiple strings with USX-I also think this is fine
3rd is scalar chunk-I think I have sync and swipe-not sure
4th is 3nps scale runs with swiping-I think sync is ok-may be a bit off on ascending
5th is PG lick with downstroke and upstroke start. For downstroke, I am trying to swipe, upstroke start feels cleaner but I’m not sure if it is.

I would probably stick with this sort of thing for a while. If you listen to yourself at reduced speed, it’s definitely not synced - the sounding notes are more like C C B A and other variations at times, so the picking and fretting are not locked in.

Just one man’s opinion, but I personally wouldn’t push this sort of thing too hard - I’d find the maximum speed I could play where everything is super tight, and then try to increase that over time. No metronome or anything.
