Practicing your alternate picking is more about building coordination between your hands than it is about building actual speed. I mean, a lot of guitarists can tremolo pick pretty fast without a lot of practice, but being able to put the hands together is the hard part. One really common exercise is to practice 3 note per string scales with a metronome, starting slow and building speed gradually. Or just play chromatic scales all day. Or just isolate the fast passages in solos you want to learn and make those into exercises. The point is to get your pick hand and your fret hand to work together to play fast but also cleanly. A metronome is essential.

Manky posted:I can't be the only guy who plays Fs as essentially a modified C shape with x33211, can I? You could think of that as a C chord shape moved over a string (and thus up a perfect 4th, which is of course F), but it's also good to visualize is as a "daughter" of the full barre chord. The only thing you're leaving out is the bass note F on the 6th string. It's worth noting that the shape you show is a second inversion F major shape, or F/C. Obviously, it works really well transitioning to or from a C chord.
