Hey!
Recently i covered the Faith No More classic "Digging the Grave", and it happened to be a real good warm up routine for downpicking & alternate picking with string skippings. The song mixes both techniques up, so it can be a bit tricky to switch from one to the other fluidly.

I got the home-made tabs for you (again) so you can try it yourself.

Want to increase your downpicking speed without playing classic thrash stuff?
This one is only 2 minutes and 30 seconds, but this is more than enough :brick:

Raising the bar : downpicking on triplets at 150bpm.
You don't have to maintain this right hand speed throughout the whole song, it's only speed bursts mainly during the chorus. But this was tiring to work on.
