I know you've probably read it or heard it 100 times.. but play SLOW and flawlessly. Pay attention to movement and your form... a slight angle I find works best as I move across Low E-A-D-G strings.. when I alt pick or economy pick on B-E strings I lessen the angle to more of a straight attack...Seems I have more control, better attack, and I get more tone from high strings doing it this way. However you have to hold the pick, anchor picking hand or not, etc.. is up to what works best for you!! Play the passages perfectly 5-10x at slower tempos before increasing bpm up 6-8 and repeating... repeating, repeating, etc.. I also do this.. Any lick or passage Im working on, I will 1st do it starting on downstroke and alternate pick accordingly.. then repeat lick starting on upstroke... then pick economy if the lick warrants it. Good luck, have fun and stay inspired Cheers

ps.. For years I used Jazz III XL's cuz all my fav players at the time used them I recently switched to a lighter .90mm ultex sharp and find I have way more feel of the strings and picking attack... bare in mind I am pretty damn heavy handed and play hard
