Hey, I've been learning doxa by monuments for quite a while now and have just got it up to full speed but I'm worried my downpicking technique isn't quite right. I've been using my wrist but in really fast sections I still feel lots of tension across my entire right arm and I can feel myself using more of my forearm on the really fast sections.
I've noticed John Browne appears to rest his pinky under the highest string whilst down picking (watch his EMGTV video of doxa on youtube), can anyone explain this to me as I've never seen it done before so don't know whether it would help.
So should I continue practicing as I am until I feel comfortable enough to loosen off, or have I simply been using the wrong technique all this time? Also, what's up with John's pinky? Thanks a lot
