Rules
Here is where the magic happens: the REC board turns bedroom guitarists into real pros. Remember - it doesn't matter if you fail or pass, as long as you keep posting REC takes you will progress.
The entries will be graded by a number of instructors. After grading, members will be accredited with the appropriate points if they pass, and adjustments will be made to their REC level.
Passing grade is 6 or higher.

Hi mate! It's great to see you working hard on this lesson! I think that Darius marked one of the most important things that you must fix to improve your alternate picking technique. The other thing that I noted is that you are moving your right hand fingers when you play with your pick. My suggestion is to focus on starting the motion from your wrist and a bit from your elbow but avoid moving your fingers. You will find this useful to achieve higher speed.
So keep on playing this one with both things in mind and you will note big improvements soon. Cheers! Gab.- -------------------- My lessons

Hi, Darius and Gabriel have some good advice already. I would add something about the finger / thumb movement of your picking hand:
You don't want to try and attain the alternate picking motion by pushing and pulling your thumb joint. The only time that you need (and not all people need to) to move your thumb joint is to slightly help you when crossing strings. Even then, you don't want to deliberately try to mimic this. If your hand wants to do it then it will start doing automatically during string changes.. So try to concentrate the picking motion along the line from from thumb to wrist joint. Keep your grip on the pick consistent (not too tight) and don't move your thumb deliberately. Just allow the whole hand to move using your wrist as a pivot point. Maybe this video I made might help you look at wrist angles more  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vfT0k7nPNs |
