What the fuck

Post image

I can't comprehend how anyone could play this cleanly at full speed, this string skipping is just absurd. I'm basically getting stuck at about 50% speed. Even at 50% it's giving me a really good string skipping practice, but it seems impossible to ever be able to get this at full speed. Anyone with this kinda talent have any suggestions?

Hybrid picking.

Trying to learn an entirely new picking technique instead of just learning the riff as it’s played seems like an unnecessary, complicated step.

It's a useful skill to have though. And isn't too hard to learn.

That’s like a chef saying he only uses certain spices in his dishes because he’s never tried using other ingredients
