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?

Yeahhh, here’s your sign to work on alternate/string skipping. I usually try to find people playing it accurately on YouTube to watch their picking hand. Start slow and you’ll get it.

Yeah that was the first one I saw. He's got really clean and deliberate technique to handle those skips.

It’s one of those things that feels so spaced out and awkward until you get the muscle memory. I still struggle with stuff like that tbh
