Default Fast Picking Questions

The only thing that prevnets me from doing much better on harder songs that require to pick much faster are songs tha that involve very fast picking.

For example

After A Hard Day

How can you find out at what speed your supposed to go at? It seems for any song that makes you pick that fast I either go to fast or to slow and I end up getting much more greats or misses then I usually would.

I've tried going with the beat of the song but I can't seem to ever get it right.

Any tips are appreciated.

Try to play with a high enough speed so the notes are more spread out.
It'll help you see how fast you'll need to pick.

Play the basic version if applicable.

The fast picking is 2 times the speed of the bulk of the other picking of the song. I think which is 800 per minute

For example RISE ADVANCE has the picking half the speed of the EXTREME at certain points. If you do the advance part with strumming then that is also how fast you need to move your fingers when picking.

Well...for After a Hard Day, your problem with "keeping beat" might be affected by the slow triplets halfway into the song.
After a Hard Day Guitar Chart (Open)
If you look at the last segment of the third column, you'll notice those are slow triplets.
And for the rest of the faster notes, they are just double of the speed you normally pick.
This actually applies for almost every other song, ie. doublepick parts are usually twice the speed of what you can normally downpick with, and "normally downpick with" notes here are referred to the type of speed of notes in the second column first segment...hope that helps...

Alright.. I don't know if it's the double-bass in the background that's screwing me up or what.. but the fast triplets part before the hyperpick ending in BlackSheep screws me up every time.. I comboed it once on a fluke and now i get like 20+ misses on it each time I play. Is it infact triplets? How should I be timing it? help!

It IS triplet timing at 200bpm. I cant gauge the exact timing. But I guess it's around 150-160bpm at double-pick speed.
