Hi guys.

For all those all play along to a click. What speed are you getting your 16th note triplets(six notes per click) and your 16th notes (four notes per click) up to?

Never actually counted it. I'm not as super fast as I used to be. But I started practicing the old Metallica Kill 'em All songs again. Whiplash isn't a problem. It's the triple pick and stop that's tricky. You know, the takata takata takata thing.

I'm down to four notes per click at 140, if I'm lucky.  I used to be a comfortable 160, but I stopped playing for most of 5 years.  :(  It's not very fast either way, I know.  I was never super fast.

No , How fast can you pick? What is your picking speed? Without using hammer ons or pull offs. I was just wondering.
