Video of Minor swing intro - I think I am a string hooper?

Hey everyone! I am new in posting here, would love to hear and give feedback. I am here playing my first recording of minor swing intro. I think I am string hopping? And I think I have a downward pick slant? Thanks for the feedback!

Looks like classic stringhopping to me. Every pick stroke appears to require a full cycle of wrist flexion and extension. You can double your picking speed by figuring out how to get two pickstrokes per cycle.

Do you have a fast tremolo yet? Have you done the table tapping tests? This is usually the first step.

Yes, you’re very clearly stringhopping.

Ok, thanks haha, I didn’t think I was so interesting to see that I am in slow motion

Thank you I have but not filmed it yet. I will start there, I appreciate the feedback and support!

Welcome!

As others have mentioned, this is a textbook example of string hopping. As you go through the CTC materials and technique critiques, I suggest experimenting with different pick grips, as well as pick sizes and shapes.
