what's the fastest bpm you guys can pick doing strict alternate picking?
Also how fast can yall sweep, tap, economy pick, downpick?

That's really the only thing that drives me to work on picking speed. *shrug* I have speed and nothing good to do with it, so I get a lot more out of working on other things.

OfSinsAndShred said:Sorry for getting your thread off topic, man. Maybe I'll find my pick speed after I get done with some stuff tonight, lol. Now I'm actually kind of curious. I usually leave the fast-picked stuff to my friend who's a Dream Theater fan. Those Petrucci fanatics have some crazy right hand action.
