Hello fellow slanters of the pick,
I’m happy to share that I’ve reached a point where I don’t really care what kind of motion I’m using because it feels ok and I’m satisfied with my progress so far. So, to celebrate this achievement I decided to try Vinnie Moore’s intro to Saved by a Miracle with a very pedestrian arrangement (mostly by kind of remembering how it sounds) but hey, I think it sounds kinda cool!

Finally, about my technique, I’d say the most critical changes have been my switch to trailing edge with a veeeeeeery light grip, and for anyone curious, I feel like my motion is coming from the elbow with a controlled wrist for precision, like shaking my arm and letting the relaxed wrist follow the laws of physics. That’s probably wrong but it’s how I can describe my perception.

Awesome man, is that a baritone? Looks huge.
Btw that purple 80’s strat in your backround… Can you do a vid with it? Out of all the fender stuff I want that.

Dude, not only is this awesome, I really admire your ability to learn and record pieces.

Good stuff!
I am pretty sure Vinnie records his acoustic pieces with a light pick (maybe a 0.6?), or at least he did that from “the maze” onwards. You could try that!

thank you! I’ve just noticed how big this guitar looks hahaha but it’s the opposite. Perhaps the camera app on my phone is acting funny.
Also, thank you @tommo! I’ll definitely give light picks a try on the nylon strings, and @eric_divers I really appreciate the kind words. I’ve been on a speed run-ish mood lately and I’m glad there’s some progress to show.
