How Fast Are You?

Not as quick as I would like. Fast picking just isn't something that I find very easy. My legato and tapping are slowly picking up, though.

 

John Petrucci remains one of my favourite players and general musical influences, but I'm glad that I gave up a long time ago on actively trying to be able to play his stuff. If my picking gets quicker 'naturally', great, but I'm more interested now in using what I have now and playing what I can play.

Fast enough to do what I want to do. Shredding isn't very interesting to me.

 

You use it when it fits, and you make it interesting and combine it with other techniques. For instance, Reeves' solo at 3:18...

... and much like a 'noise' solo, which may seem goofy in theory, but if you know the technique and apply it correctly, it's tits (especially with 3 drummers and 2 bass players hammering away) at 3:52 here:
