Picking chops....

I'm not James, but I would certainly advise learning to play some Kataklysm. "Stormland" and "In Shadows and Dust" will help bring your right hand chops up to par, especially the main riff of "Stormland."

I learnt a lot of little techniques from Paul Gilbert and John Pettrucci vids.
One thing to do though is make sure you are using the right kind of pick for your personal technique. Lots of guitarists just use the first pick that they find (or the one they started to learn with), I found that my control over my guitar increased when I switched to Jim Dunlop Jazz III picks.

I also use Jazz III picks and I'm never looking back. Chances are, if you're a metal player, you will appreciate the flexibility these picks give you in terms of playing faster and more fluently. I think they're a good starting point, even before you get into technique.

Yes, Dunlop Jazz III picks are totally the right pick for me. I have a lot of control over what I play with them and I don't have a big pick that gets in my way.

I've always found that playing different alt. patterns with a metronome helps, start slow and when you can do it tight just keep speeding it up. Also , if you use alot of distortion turn your gain down , it will force you to play really clean.
