This is our last picking etude, and it is the most difficult.  We have been doing a piece of music in each of the most common "subdivisions" of time including eighth notes, triplets and now sixteenth notes.  This piece starts off with some pretty "scale wise" passages, where we are mostly just going up or down the scale note by note or with small skips.  The second section we are skipping strings, and still needing to keep the alternate picking consistent.  DO THIS VERY SLOW UNTIL YOU CAN DO THE WHOLE THING CORRECTLY.  Then gradually bring it up to speed.  If you rush through learning it you will miss the benefit of the etude, which is to get you consistently picking sixteenth notes regardless of the difficulty of the passage.
