Hi, I really think picking is one of the hardest techniques to learn. Getting it up to speed can actually drive you nuts, but it's really worth it. Sit down with a metronome and start at a very slow tempo. I usually do 3 note per string patterns (string skipping etc.) and start at about 64 beats...
