Well she has small hands to begin with, but I think Steely what you mean is how she reaches with her middle finger when you would think just using the ring finger would be easier. I did see that, but just thought it was the way she learned. I doubt if anybody taught her that. Try this, but not surprisingly, no relief from those index/middle stretches here lol.

Oh, dude, sheās absolutely amazing. Just makes me cringe watching her Hey, whatever works!
Beautiful phrasing and great tone.

I agree. Definitely got a ways to go before im playing like that.
Upon watching that second video, its actually her picking hand that really bugs me to watch. It just seems so rigid and unnatural, like she shouldnt be that accurate with how stiff her hand looks.

Jason Becker used to pick like that. I think itās cos for some find it hard to alternate pick fast enough using only the wrist so a bit of upper arm is needed.
Her technique is impeccable though. [/quote]
Jason Becker liked to anchor his fingers so it was a little stiff looking for sure, but most of the movement was still coming from the wrist.
Zakk Wylde is one that fucking kills me. Watching his right hand makes me want to punch him in the face cause it just seems like he shouldnt be able to play that good the way he holds his picking hand. [/quote]
Yeah I agree about most movement coming from the wrist but the upper arm movement is there during certain parts when he alternate picks fast. I actually anchor my arm like this due to learning some bad techique from the start and people i asked couldnāt really tell when i was using mostly upper arm.
The Zakk Wylde comment made me lol. I wanna punch him and take his guitar too haha.[/quote]
Im not too big on the guitar, but i betd it fetch a pretty penny.
I dont know how the F you guys can play with an anchor. Ive tried it to see if it helped with fast runs and shit but it destroys my accuracy.
If im trying to alternate pick very fast i will use my forearm/elbow but usually only when picking on a single string.
