Thanks for the note below Steve, all your work is excellent and well worth owning

The reason you move so wide when practicing slowly is that all motions get greatly constricted when Picking Up Speed. What you are practicing at this slow speed is accuracy, timing, follow through and learning where your strings are. It is like the Tai Chi of flatpicking and develops volume and perfect timing.

THANK YOU!! I'm going to go CRY & QUIT playing now...!!

[@Ganzie2000]

That's how I feel right now. But won't give up.

[@floater156]

why would you want to move your right hand so far away from the strings when alternate picking? Doesn't that lose economy of motion?

Thanks, Steve.
