I just got to where I started practicing alternate picking the get a lil' more speed than down-down-down all the time and seemed like my left fingers were remembering but my pick hand always caused me to start slower cuz tho I tried I always held it a lil' different, propping the ol' pinky on the pick guard made a big difference in the speed of my progression.
I dont know if this makes a difference but I most often run scales while sitting watching tv and with in a fw moments I don't really have to pay attention 'til I try to up the tempo then after a few runs back to tv lol.
I can run the scales I've been practicing up to about 90 bpm but these 4 lil' notes I can't do 20 times at 75 without error hehe, don't know why. Like a tongue twister applied to guitar :P
