If your legato is not up to speed then your right hand is not going to be in sync.
As long as you pick to a metronome who cares if its slant or something.
there is a lot of ideas out there in internet land suggesting one idea is better than this one, this one is old, use this one. but one thing remains: the basics. the basics for me, and what helped get my speed up is:
practice
metronome
proper technique
beware! the metronome does not lie ! I thought I was good, until I couldn't even do 16th notes alternate picking at 80bpm!! that's de-motivating. however, it will make you better.
I would find john Petrucci's rock discipline video and watch the increasing speed section. he explains how to use a metronome correctly. also learning scale patterns on the metronome. you will increase your speed very quickly AND play through scale patterns through scale positions in no time.
after that can you then start analysing your picking hand, and get it efficient, which there are many video and articles to help. you cannot play 200bpm guitar, sloppy! every element has to be synchronised.
it can happen, faster than you think!
