Mikehell 5-4-20 #2 (Upward Escape Motion/Downward Pick Slanting String Changing Bursts/Chunks)

This was given to a student to work on changing strings while picking fast. 

Because you are changing strings after performing an up stroke, using an upward escape motion (usually used with a downward pick slant) can be very beneficial in playing things like this nice and clean at fast speeds.

However, eventually you may end up picking so fast that you can't avoid hitting the string you're trying to leave. As long as your muting technique is solid, you can hit that string while going to the new string and you won't even hear the unwanted string being struck!
