Speed Picking

Speed picking is a technique involves picking every note.
This is a very important guitar technique for the modern playing.
In this lesson I have paid attention basically to alternate picking - it means movements of the right hand are as follows : “down-up-down-up etc.”.
This requires perfect coordination on the right and left hands.
They must be absolutely synchronized to play cleanly all notes at high speeds.
