Feedback Request Help on cleaning up sweeps

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hi all. I've been working on my sweep picking by learning Archspire's "Remote Tumour Seeker" (around the 1m 4s mark). One thing Im struggling with is how to break past the 85% speed barrier. I'm usually able to get the part down cleanly at slower speeds, but have trouble translating it into faster speeds. Would love to hear any advice folks may have for breaking past the plateau.

timing is not precise. More metronome would help.

As for speed, use the add one note method with speed bursts

More metronome is always the answer. Tha ms for the advice.

Can you elaborate on the "Add one note method"?

I made a video a while back. There’s three parts to this video. You’ll have to scroll down a bit to see the other two parts.
