Right hand placement (Tremolo Picking/Alternating picking/Galloping)
Hey everyone! I've got a question/need some advice on right hand positioning, where do you place your hand? I'm finding on the lower strings I'm losing control of my picking hand with tremolo, alt picking and galloping. I'm unsure if i'm placing my hand too high above the bridge or angling it to outwards or if it needs to float more (basically i'm stuck!) high strings i feel fine withs its just mainly the E (and A i guess) Ive got some footage (even some live footage to see my natural positioning) to show, if anyone could help me as i feel completely stuck and unable to move forward if my technique isn't optimal (don't want to waste more years on a bad techniques!

8-Week Alternate Picking Intensive Daily Accountability Check-In
This thread is optional, but it’s usually a very good idea to check in here once you’re done for the day. Consistency is everything in a program like this, and a simple public check-in helps a lot more than most people expect. How to check in Post a comment using this format: Week X – Day X completed Example: Week 1 – Day 3 completed That’s it. No explanations needed. Just mark the work done and move on with your day. Use this thread as your running log for the full 8 weeks.

I’m Pauly from the UK Been playing for about 15 years Use to have dreadful technique but managed to rebuild/relearn over the last few years. ATM I’m trying to get my left hand to sync up at higher speeds, its speeds that my 3rd and 4th finger aren’t reacting quick enough! Working on a few chromatic runs that Synester gate uses to try and combat this
