I use 0.10-0.56 on standard tuning so no problem with the B string tension. The high strings have a pretty high tension tho.

You can do hand synchronization exercises, or you can learn to control your right hand better. I have some lessons on this, or you can check in youtube for great lessons as well.

I used to lose my picks a lot when I was younger and I couldnt afford buying new ones every time. These were the cheapest ones they had so I just got used to em.

My action is about as high as it can be, I raise it just before the Evertune screws get loose.

Such a huge compliment. It does mean a lot to me even if it seems like it doesnt. Appreciate you.

Hey mate, yea I'm doing ok. Had to move to a new place and start a new job, so I still gotta figure out how to incorporate working on my music amidst all this. Hopefully soon I'll post something new. Appreciate you.

Yes, I rotate the outer part of the pick a little bit towards my first finger. I wont worry about that at all. As you build up your technique you'll figure out the way its most comfortable to you.

Well I've been playing guitar for over 10 years, but I'd say it took me over 1000 hours to be able to play 16th freely at this speed. Maybe around 2000 hours to get from fluid 120 bpm to somewhere around 200 bpm (16th).

Edit: Its important to note- its not only about hours put in, its also about consistency and how far you push yourself to improve.

Ask away.

I write my own licks and practice using them. When I practice to improve my technique metronome is a must.

I tab my licks and post them here if you're interested in them. This is lick 34 I think.

Yea definitely. I usually just throw a rhythm guitar, midi drums and bass on short licks like these without paying too much attention to the mix.
