Thanks for the comment. This was simply meant as one particular technique for helping improve speed picking, certainly not the ultimate exercise. I plan to write more lessons on speed picking as I explore them. John Petrucci's "Rock Discipline" video has a really interesting part about exploring which direction to pick when changing strings rapidly. He says that it's not necessarily faster to use the "next" picking stroke when switching strings; it depends on you and the passage. That's very true, Dale. Thanks for the comment.

However, the difficulty comes in when you cross strings. How in the world do you maintain accuracy as you cross from one string to another at high speed? It would be daunting enough to hope to ever get DiMeola speed on one string. But across the strings? The transitions from one string to another are relatively huge when you are trying to really get speed happening. Bridging that distance crossing from one string to another...(a huge void when your trying to go fast with accuracy) is another whole factor, and seemingly the real one to surmount? I can wiggle back and forth pretty fast, even coordinate left hand say on a chromatic riff, on one string. Crash when I cross. I've seen very little on objective ways to approach that aspect of playing fast? This is good. However, the difficulty comes in when you cross strings.
