How Do I Practice Picking Belt B

 
    Starting at the Top E string an your Guitar. With the first pick an a three member model. Push the picks down across the strings at a moderate picking speed, voice counting " 1 + " and picking the strings at a stop go stop go manner at the same time on Demand. Only pick two Beats " strings " in this place of " 1 + ".
   Next speed up to rapid or fast picking, picking " 2a+a ". Try to pick four Beats : strings " one after another in this place of " 2a+a ".
   Last slow down to a moderate picking speed, picking the strings one after another in a stop go stop go manner. Voice count " 3 + 4 + " and pick the strings at the same time on demand. Only pick four Beats " strings " in this place of " 3 + 4 + ". 
   Practice Picking this over and over using the Em chord.  Practice Picking this Belt of Running Beats Daily.
 
   Belts should be practice in a cycling way down and up down and up.
 
  It is easer to voice count " 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + " instead of " 1 + 2a+a 3 + 4 + " when practicing. Just remember you need to pick 4 strings instead of 2 strings in these places of 2a+a. This makes it easy.
