Re: Picking faster?
While we're waiting for the vid, here's a good one study, Bush, Joliff, Skehan, McCoury, Hoffman. Lots of differences in technique, esp. Sam, nobody can pick like him.
I think it's important to read old threads about practice regimens in general, as well as reading specifically about pick hold, anchoring, wrist motion (forearm rolling vs breaking at the wrist) etc. Especially working on lots of different chord runs, single note lines, chord melody etc. There's also threads about lowering action to sacrifice tone for speed, which I don't think is a great tradeoff.
Also i think armrests and pickguards can help, I don't have a pickguard installed yet but swear by the Hill Country McClung's
