Question for Stev-o

Do you play with three fingers?
I find that if I play really intense material for 5 minutes straight, my right hand gets very sore and it's quite hard to keep up the speed.
PAIN IN THE ASS!!!
 
HMmmmm... I see now. I'm a three fingers player and have the same problem. I can't stand playing fast for a long time =/

Hippie said once: "Speed comes into bursts", but what to do when you need a long burst? Viagra?

Ps: I use Tyr's picking technique.
 
You also need to warm up before speed picking. John Myung of DT, for instance, is well known for warming up two hours before every show, without fail. And that's the entire two hour period, just warming up. No wonder he can play 3-4 hours on every show, and he hardly flubs a note.
