I'm a pretty good guitarist... I've been playing for a good 2 1/2 to 3 years now and I've almost got my legato style perfect. I can play fast runs without picking every note. Now I'm beginning to work on picking all the notes in the runs. I'm finding this extremely difficult. I was talking to the lead guitarist in the band I play in and he said that picking is definately the hardest part of playing fast and sounding good. I think he's right. So basically, my question is, does anyone have any suggestions regarding exercises to improve picking or techniques to improve picking speed and clarity? All help appreciated.
