Description: I can't play fast! It's the most common complaint in picking technique. If you have a very low maximum picking speed limit, below 150 beats per minute sixteenth notes, there's good news: that's probably not your actual speed limit! You're probably just stringhopping. In this awesome case study from the Pickslanting Primer, we learn how to break through that barrier.
