Thanks for posting these. The angle is appropriate so that’s good. Couple comments:
-
When we do technique critique, we really need full-speed video in addition to slow motion, otherwise it’s hard to get a sense of what the overall motion looks like. Slow motion is great for seeing specific things, like what the pick is hitting or not hitting. I don’t think we have any details on this in the prompt that comes up in the “Technique Critique” section, so this is our fault. We’ll go ahead and add those instructions now.

When choosing the slow motion mode on your phone, most of the time, choose 120fps. 240 is so super slow that it’s again hard to get a sense of what the motion looks like. 120 is a sweet spot where you can see detail but still see movement. Also, it requires less light, and has better video resolution - so you’ll generally get a cleaner image on top of that.
Re: crosspicking, this is a topic we are still researching. Here’s the video we did on how wrist type crosspicking techniques actually work:
It’s from the Albert Lee series of analysis videos. They’re all good and all worth watching. I’d start out with the intro broadcast and then the Pickslanting Primer but once you get a handle on the basic terminology, I’d check out these Albert Lee analysis features next.
Very broadly speaking, without watching in great detail, if what I’m seeing in your clips is primarily wrist-based motion, and you want to learn crosspicking, then the most detailed description of at least one method for doing that is actually right here on the forum:
https://forum.troygrady.com/t/everything-you-need-to-know-about-crosspicking/
The discussion can get pretty technical here, so again, I’d watch the intro broadcast, then some Primer, and then check out the Albert Lee stuff to understand the concepts of how wrist crosspicking works. The general idea works for any wrist-based player, like Molly Tuttle, David Grier, and so on.
That should get you started in the right direction. If you have any further questions let us know.
