Wow... those arpeggios are just beautiful. You play them really clean.

I saw a video of a guy on YouTube a while back where he used a similar "vibrating" technique to do super-fast tremolo picking like that.

The right-hand technique alone is kinda interesting, but you also manage to marry it up with clean left-hand execution, which makes it even more impressive, because you're not just playing a blast of notes... you can actually do something melodic with it.

And as long as you can find a musical context in which to play it, i say keep learning and developing it.

I'm impressed you actually play it cleanly slow, most insane shredders you see on youtube try to play it slow, and it ends up being sloppier than a 2 dollar whore's vagina.

Everyone seems to be pretty critical of your explanation.

It made perfect sense to me, but then it's something its some that's crossed my own mind before and I briefly tried it.

Now I've seen someone pull it off properly, I'm off to try again.

You're a fucking inspiration, many thanks for that.

Oh so thats you in the video, CooleyJR? That was cool as hell and the sweeps are in credible I would LOVE to be able to sweep at all let alone that cleanly :/

Hey CooleyJr, just a quick question. Which do you find creates less tension when your doing really fast alternate picking? Open fingers or closed fingers? Thanks for your help =)

For a good reason.

But that's no slam on him. He's great.

It really just depends on how i feel. If i dont feel like picking with a fist then ill use open fingers. I tend to do the rusty cooley thing alot and jut out my middle ring and pinky fingers. Seems i get more leverage that way.
