Possibly useful thing. More picking every note without alternate picking

I didn't think this shit would be remotely useful to anyone, but random youtube people are asking for more.

Hell yeah. As someone who never does alternate picking this is right up my alley.

I was already gradually eliminating alternate picking before my hands went to shit, unintentionally. I was just playing more like that. Now my goal is to get as close to eliminating it entirely as possible. I've only been playing a few weeks and haven't missed it at all, although I'd hate for it to never come back.

People have liked the picking every note ones, but I think the next one I'll do some hammer/pull off ones. You can get light speed with zero effort throwing a little of that shit in there.

I recognize that I can’t play as fast without it. Hammer/pull off is my crutch.

I realized my biggest one was probably stretches. I wasn't Shawn Lane or anything, but I REALLY relied on it more than I should have. I've never been able to play legato, so bullshit workarounds have been my life.
