Picking hand help
Hey guys. So I played guitar in high school, and then I stopped playing for like 5 years. When I played, I played some easier coheed and cambria songs, and a lot of pop punk. Not a lot of intricate stuff. But now I want to play metal, I want to shred. My inspirations are children of bodom, lamb of god, every time I die, killswitch engage, death, etc.
My problem is I’m having a lot of trouble with my picking hand. It’s almost like my wrist sits at the top of the bridge and doesn’t move and functions almost as a hinge. But when I want to hit higher strings it’s an issue. I’ve tried doing the close hand picking technique that bernth recommends and that didn’t feel right, but now nothing really feels “right” cuz I tried for so long.
I know my wrist needs to be lower on the bridge , or at least I feel like it does. Idk.
Wear lessons would you guys recommend to stop this habit and clean up my picking hand
