I would like to build speed using alternate picking, I'm not very fond of using the picking techniques I have seen here since my guitar idols don't use it (I think?). I mainly want to be able to pick like Jason Becker, Paul Gilbert or Yngwie Malmsteen.

What I would like is some exercises to help me be able to do this someday which is why I created this very post.

Can you also clarify me if alternate picking at high speeds is the same as tremolo picking?

Thank you for your attention and your time for reading this, and sorry if I made some mistake in my writing since I am not a native speaker :)

Hi Mr. Pebber, I noticed that in your website, Free Videos Section, Left Hand Technique, that there are no videos available for viewing there. Did you do this by mistake or is it because there supposed to be pay-per-view?

Also wanted to ask this... do you think I can become a good guitar player just by following your free lessons? It's not that I'm trying to be cheap or anything it's just that I can't afford anything at the time and can only spend money on school related stuff, plus I'm from Portugal which might be a issue as well.

If you do answer "Yes, you can become good by taking this free lessons." what schedule should I follow or what routine/plan should I take?

I've been playing guitar now for 3/4 months, I know some chords, power chords, no barre ones (yet?! those suckers are hard), I learned all this from the justinguitar website, but my problem is I got bored with what we was teaching and I'm in a stump and don't know what to do.

I also think I've started playing guitar really late (I'm 18 yrs old.) and think I will never be good because of my age, because kids learn faster.

Anyways, please continue doing this videos for as long as you can, as I see your a major help for anyone wanting to learn the guitar. Thank You and I gladly await your response. (Sorry for the long read).
