Would pick slanting help if I want to move back and forth in between these two strings rapidly?

So if I'm understanding you correctly, you mean I should be picking from the outside of the two strings instead of in between them, right?

Hey everyone, I've been trying to practice inside picking but I've hit a problem whereby I do my downstroke on the bottom string, then as I change direction to hit the upper string again, I end up hitting the bottom string again on my way up, leading to a very sloppy sound. Would anyone happen to know how to solve this? It really only happens when I try and play fast, because at slower speeds I have more time to "clear" the bottom string, if that makes sense.

Hopefully this diagram would help

It's tiring to have to scroll half a page to get to any sort of meaningful information or opinion, then scrolling past and seeing 5 more of the same "and my axe!" "OK have u tried killing it with fire???" and some other overused, boring joke that's been parroted around for about 5 years. I get that with the size of a lot of the subs there will always be people who find it funny, but...it's just kinda lame, especially on posts that are meant to generate insightful and meaningful discussion, like learning posts, or trivia posts etc.
