The hardest part of alternate picking is changing strings. Moore mastered both inside and outside picking:
To cross strings cleanly at high speeds, the pick must clear the strings without getting trapped. Moore utilizes a subtle downward pick slanting (DWPS) orientation for specific ascending passages. This ensures the pick escapes the strings smoothly on upstrokes. Keep the picking motion small and controlled.
