Talk too much.

the hard part is going FAST while picking 4 times per note on scales.. hard to keep rythem while bouncing between strings..

I agree, changing strings is the hardest part for most players. I think that if you focus on the pick hand and getting speed (cleanly), then run your scales (or parts of scales), it may make it easier. I really believe that if you practice slowly for a while (like a week?), your hands will remember and speed will be the natural conclusion. Everyone has their own challenges and it helps to single those out and beat them down until they obey your will.

Thanks for looking!

yeah.. i'm great at alternate and one pick per note picking scales.. pretty fast sounds pretty good.. but whenever i try to speed pick a scale it just doesn't sound right.. like i'm not getting enough notes in at a time for it to be "true shred".. another thing is when i speed pick things get buzzy.. fuck idk man..
