This was given to a guitar student to help them improve their picking speed while playing two finger/string power chords. The short bursts of picking can allow you to play fast for longer periods of time VS picking fast with zero breaks anywhere in the strumming.

This was given to a student to help them improve their alternate picking speed on the low E string. Playing in bursts of notes like this can allow you to play at higher speeds without wearing out your arm the way you would if you were picking with no breaks in the rhythm/picking.

This was given to a guitar student to help them work on their alternate picking speed on all 6 strings. This exercise uses the 3 notes per string Aeolian/minor scale shape.

This was given to a guitar student to help them focus on picking in between strings, making sure the adjacent strings are not hit or crossed over. Doing this can help you work on maintaining very small picking motions which are necessary for playing as fast as possible.

This was given to a guitar student to help them improve their fast alternate picking while changing strings. All 6 strings are used here so you can get used to the subtle differences that occur when moving from string to string.

This is an extended idea that was originally given to a guitar student to help them improve their speed picking while changing strings on every new beat.
This extended idea is ideal for building up your endurance. For a more speed based approach, you can play one or two bars at a time so you can really push yourself.

This was given to a guitar student to help him develop his alternate picking speed while constantly palm-muting.

This is an extended version of an exercise given to a guitar student that was designed to help him pick crazy fast while changing strings on every beat. You will be descending a full octave in the key of a minor while playing this.

This was given to a guitar student to help him push his speed while playing two finger power chords. This is a good way to challenge your speed picking VS single note stuff because it's much harder to play as fast as you can while playing two strings VS one.

Without a doubt, Michael Angelo Batio is one of the best technically advanced guitarists there has ever been, and probably ever will be.
The following is a video lesson taken from a DVD called Speed Kills where Batio teaches you picking techniques for speed and shredding. Highly recommended! Shown in this excerpt are some alternate picking exercises. Alternate picking is a technique that must be learned in order to play fast and to shred. Why not learn from one of the fastest there ever was?
